AGUE and FEVER
OR
Chil1s and Fever.

The proprietor of tins celebrated medi-
cine justly claims for it a superiority over
all remedies ever offered to the public for
the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever or Chills and Fever,
whether of short or long standing. He re-
fers to the entire Western and Southwest
ern country to bear HIM testimony to the
truth of the assertion. that id no case what
ever will it fail to cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out In a
great many cases a single dose has been suf-
~feient for cure, and whole families have
been cured by single bottle, with perfect
restoration of the general health 1t is,
however prudent. and in every case more
certain to cure, if its use is continued in
smaller doses for a week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially IN
difficult and long standing cases. Usually,
this medicine will not require any aid to
keep the bowels in good order; should the
patient however, require cathartic medicine,
after having taken three or four doses of the
Tonic, a single dose of BULLS VEGETA-
BILE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient

APunctuation Puzzle.

The following article forcibly illustrates the necessity of punctuation. It can be read in two ways, making very bad man or very good man, the result depending on the manner in which it is punctuated {:
 "Hc is an old and experienced man in vice and wickeiness he is never found opposing the works of iniquity he takes delight in the downfall of the neighbors he never rejeiccs in the prosperity of any of his fellow creatures he is always ready to assist in destroying the peace of society he takes no pleasure in serving the Lord he is uncommonly dilisent in sowing dis cord among his friends and acquaintances he takes no pride in laboring to promote the cause of Christianity he has not been negligent in endeavoring to stgmatize all public teachers he ma kes no exertions to subdue his evil passions he strives hard to build up Satan's kingdom he lends no aid to the support of the Gospel among the heather he contributes largely to the evil adversary he pays no attention to good ad- vice he gives great heed to the Devil he will never go to heaven he must go where he will receive the just recompense of re- ward"

Hints for Ladies.

When your husband returns home at night let him 6ud the fire out, his tea and toast cold, and you reading novel.
 If he tells you his expenses are more than his income, and proposes to move iu- to smaller house, sit down and cry about It. Tell him you always lived iu large house before you married.
 If at the end of few months he. fails in business don make the best of his mistor- tunes, help him bear his troubles by giy- ing your sympathy, but cry. as though your heart would break.
 Hint occasionally before him how much higher position you held in society before than since your marriage.
 If he has business to call him out in the evening, be sure and fret, when he returns. about his being out at nights and about his disliking to be at home with his family
 Whine every time he comes into the house about being tied at home Then, if he proposes to take you and the chil- dren out to ride tell him you are tired, half to death and don't want to ride.
 Follow out those hints faithfully, and in return you will have as impatient and as discontented husband as can be found and one who will come homa only at eat ing and sleeping hours; and you may be thankful to see him then

LAZY BoYs.-A lazy boy makes a lazy man, just as sure as crooked sap ling makes crooked tree. Whoever saw lazy boy grow up in idleness that did not make a shiftless vagabond when he became man, unless he had a fortune left with him to keep up ap- pearances The great mass of thieves, criminals and paupers have come to what they are, by being brought up in idleness. Those who constitute the business part of the community, those who make our great and useful men, were taught in their hoyhood to be industrious.

MARY JANE AND THE GRECIAN BEND.

MARY JANE AND THE GRECIAN BEND. -Yuba Dam, the racy correspondent of the Louisville Courier, writes:
 Mary Jane has got it: that fashion able curvature of the spine called the "Grecian bend" She caught it at Saratoga, where she has been on eShi- bition during the season. She has re- turned, however. bringing with her several large trunks full of second hand clothing-i. e., garments which she has worn once.
 As was passing dry-goods store on Fourth street, Mary Jane was com ing out of the door. She was pitching forward at such a rate that thought she was about to fall into my arms. ] held out those implements of industry accordingly. She didn't fall worth a cent. Regarding not the example set by our first parents. she maintained her curviliniar form. and, placing ,he tip of gloved fore-fiuger on my out stretched palm; she said, in the fash ionabe drawl of a Fifth Avcnoodle, "Aw, Yubaw, is it you? Deloited." l She picked up that internal accent and language at Saratoga also.
 "Why, Jennie, dear, this is an un- expected pleasure. Grabbing boththe little hands and rolling them up to. gether) was not looking foryou fol some weeks.

Washington During the War.

A French gentleman, named M de
 Grille, whom the late King of Belgium
 had employed for sixteen years as a
 confidential diplomatic agent, has just published volume of personal remin- .tiscences, in which he says that he vis- lited New York and Washington in | 1861, 1862 and 1864, and that every thing he saw there at that time led him
 to believe that the Southern Confed- eracy would succeed in establishing its independence.
 In New York, he was introduced to leading merchants and bankers, who boasted of the aid which they had giv- en to the Southern rebels, and in Wash ington, he saw prominent Government officers, and even Generals of the army, in the most suspicious intimacy with men whom he knew to be agents of l the Richmond Government.
 Mr. de Grille says that in 1864 not q foreign diplomatist in Washington be- ieved in the success of the Union cause, and such was the corruption of many government officers and the i'm prdence of the rebel emissaries, that one of the most eminent members of the diplomatic corps said to him |; There is no way of saving the country except by the wholesale fusilade.- There arc in Washington at least one ! ,l. x,-b in Annt chntl1 order to be shot for the good of the country" He says, furthermore, that nothing in his life ever astonished him SO much as the news of the sudden collapse of the Confederacy ;snd in re- gard 10 the assassination of President Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth, he re- marks that one of the most singular features of the American rebellion is. l that the rebels allowed Mir. Lincoln to live so long, when they might have killed him any day without mourning great personal risk.
 i It was owing to these reports that King Leopold of Belgium lost faith in the ultimate triumph Of the Union cause. although he warmly admired this country. and at the breaking out of the rebellion expressed the most nn- 1 feiened regret. Had he not consider cd the success of the Southern Con- federacy perfectly certain, he would never have consented to Maximllian's | expedition to Mesico.-[ Washington |

Jei1ersom Davis Abroad.

|
 A correspondent of the Charlestcr Daily News, writing from Liverpool, un der date of August 10th, says:
 It will be interesting to many of you' readers to receive an account of the recep. ton of MT. Davis. in this country. He arrived by the steamer "Austrian" of the Montreal line, in tolerably good health although to strangers he seemed delicate and careworn. The Southerners, resident in this city, and other friends. on hearing that he was expected, engaged rooms tor his family at the Adelphi Hotel and awaited his arrival. They decided to avoid with care anything that might tend to invite a public demonstration.-Ther object and desire were to evince their deep feeling of respect and sympathy, but within the limits prescribed by decorous regard for existing circumstances.
 By these friends MT. Davis was wei comed on the deck of the steamer, and a hearty greeting was offered to him and his family The news of his arrival spread rapidly around the dock, and a large num- Der of people assembled on the quay, by whom, on landing, he was greeted with cheers and unanimous Oppression of warm and kindly feeling.
 During the stay he has since made at the Adelph, Hotel, he has been called up. on by those who had taken an interest in the Southern cause, and by leading resi- dents of this city who had taken no promi- nent part, but now came forward to pay their respects, under the feeling that prompts every generous mind to sympa- thize with suffering and misfortune.
 Having had the advantage of frequent intercourse with MT. Davis, l may ven ture to say, from personal knowledge anu observation. that he has won golden opinions from all who have approached him. All are impressed by his dignity of carriage and courtly bearing, and although there is usually an expression of sadness on his features, furrowed as they are by thought, anxiety and sorrow, yet for most there comes smile singularly winning and benignant. In conversation his tone is always calm, often cheerful; and none have described their impressions to me who have not been struck, like myself, with the force of his reflections on men and events, and the felicity of the diction in which they are expressed.
 Although, as I have observed, public notice has been carefully avoided, yet on several occasions, when he has been recog nized, he has been greeted by the pubic of all classes with respectful cordiality In this there was no trace of political feel ing. It is the homage men pay to one who has been the ruler ot millions of n gallant race. whose namo is inscribed forever on the page of history--and on whose purity as public man islander has left no stain. When to these there Is added the recollection of suiferings, physl- cal and mental. such as were seldom recor- ded or few have survived, 1t Is natural that all should be touched, and should ap. proach, even as with d feeling of rever' ence, the living and present representa- tive of so much that was great ia the past of so much that must live forever in the records of the future.

 A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.--ln New Hamp- shire there lived an ignorant, worth less family, Ransom by name, no mem- Der of which had seen inside church within the memory of the oldest in- habitant.' The village pastor, after years of failure, had at length '.almost persuaded" two of the young scions to promise attendance for one sabbath, but the fear that they would be made the subject of some personal remarks still deterred them. They were in great terror of being publicly upbaid- ed for their wickedness. After much exertion their fears were quieted, and on the following Sunday the eyes oi the parson congregation were aston ished at the unwon'ed presence of the aforesaid Ransom~ All went well until the reading of the second hymn, which was the familiar "Blow ye the 1 trumpet, blow ,'
 Imagine the effect, at the end of the l line, Return, yc RANSOM sinners home"

THE GRAvE.-The grave covers all dc"ects, extinguishes all resentment.- There is something in the last solemn farewell, that unnerves enmity herself. Who can look on the poor remnant of mortality, deprived of its energies, though once our enemy, and sec 1t low cring dowr into its dark and final rest ing place, and not say it is enough {. Farewell forever cancels all offences annihiates all revenge. Who can feel wrathiul at the poor shred of earth that lies at our feet. The eye that once flashed on us with rage, is now moul- dering away in it's socket, the tongue that slandered us is dumb forever, the heart that meditated our ruin is fast being consumed by loathsome reptiles, the hand that was raised against us has forgotten its cunning, the cold clods of the valley are on his breast--a little while and nought will be left of him, save handful of ashes. Spouse of the worm, and brother of the clay! already the shades of oblivion begin to gather around him-he will soon be forgot ter Good God! who can look upon such spectacle as this and not feel to forgive - Rev. z. Fuller.
