NAANHooD. I'm THE YOUNG AND

MANHOOD. THE YOUNG AND
1v1 rising generation, the vcgetative powers
of life are strong, but in few years how often
the paIid hue, the lacklustrc eye, and emaciated
form, and the impossibility Of application to
mental effort, show its baneful influence IL
soon becomes evident to the observer that soma
depressing infuenc e is checking the development
Of the body. Consumption is talked OF, aud per-
haps the youth is removed from school and set
into the country. This is one Of the worst move
ments Removed from ordinary diversions of
the ever-changing scenes of the city, the powers
of the body too much enfeebled to give zest to
healthful and rural exercise, thoughts are turned
inward upon themselves.
If the patientbe female, the approach Of the
menses is looked for with anxiety, as the first
symptom in which Nature is to show her saving
power in diffusing the circulation and visiting
the check with the bloom of health. .flas! in
crease Of appetite has grown by what it TED on;
the energies Of the system are Frustrated, and
the whole economy is deranged. The beautiful
and wonderful period 10 which body and mind
undergo 80 facinating change from child to wo-
man. is looked for in vain. the parents heart
bleeds in anxiety and fancies the grave but wait
ing for its victim.
HELxso1Ds EXTRACT BUcHu, for Weakness
arising from excesses Of early indiscrcton atten-
ded with the following symptoms; Indisposition
to Exertion, Loss Of Power, Loss OF MCa.ury, nif.
Rculty OF Breathing, General Weakness, Horror OF
Disease, Weak Nerves. Trembling, Dreadful Hor
rot Of Death, Night Sweats. Cold Feet, Wakeful-
ness, Dimness Of Vision, Langour. Universal Las
pitude OF the Muscular System, Often Enormous
appetite with Dyspeptic Symptoms. Flushing
Of the Body, Dryness Of the Skin, Paid Counten-
auce aud Eruptions on the Face, Pain in the Back,
Heavness OF the Eyelids, Frequently Black Spots
Flying before the Eyes, with Temporary Sutfus
sion aud Loss Of Sight, Want of attention. Great
Mobility, Restlessness, with Horror Of Society.
Nothing is more desirable 10 such patients than
Solitude and nothing they more dread, for Fear
OF Themselves; no Repose Of Manner, no Earnest
nees NO Speculation, but hurried Transition
from one question TO another,
These symptoms, if allowed to so on-which
this Medicine invariably removes soon follow
Loss Of Power, Fatuity, and Epileptic Fits in one
of which the patient may expire.
During the Superintendent OF DR.. Wilson at
the DloOmingdal asylum, this sad result occur
red to two patients; reason had for time left
them. and both died Of epilepsy. They were of
both sexes, and about twenty years Of age.
Who can ray that these excesses are not fire.
quently followed by those direful diseases lnsan-
ity and Consumption? The records Of the Insane
.4sylums, and the melancholy deaths by Consump-
tion, bear ample witness to the truth of these as
serfions. In Lunatic .dsylums the most mean.
choly exhibition appears. The countenance is
actually soldcn and quite desttute--neither mirth
or Grief ever visits it. Should a sound of the
voice occur, it is rarely::articulate.

Let the ability of the State be gathered

of the North, the honest sentiments and

THE PEABODY FUND.

Our readers will remember the prince
" donation Of Mr.. George Peabody, for
educational purposes in the Southern
States. This fund We are advised, will
amount to more than two million of dol
lars In order that it might be judicions-
" administered among the people for
whose benefit it was intended, the dstin
guished donor appointed the Hon. Robt
Winthrop of Mass, Hon, William A
Graham of North Carolina, Hon. VIM. {.
Rives of Va. and Hon. VIM Aiken of S
C, Trustees to carry out the objects of
Mr.. Peabody. In order that this might
be effectually done, the Trustees appoint
ell DR.. b. SEARS, long president of Brown
University, Rhode Island, and gentle
man Of high repute in the republic of let
tiers, their special agent to direct and su-
pervise the administration Of this fund
9dDr. Sears has already visited most of
the Southern States, on his noble mis-
sion He spent last Friday and Saturday
in Van Buren, and left for Little Rock on
the Fort Gibson, whence he will make
trip up White River as high as Batssville
His object is to use the money at his
command to establish free schools and
where he finds schools already establish
ed, his policy is to engraft upon them the
free school principle as far as possible.
DIR. Sears is a polished gentleman, high
ly cultivated and appears to be thorough
ly embued with the spirit of Mr.. Peabo-
dy himself, and We bespeak for him the
kind regards of all our people
Arrangements are being made by our
citizens to obtain portion of this fund
to aid our infant Schools now struggling
into existence. We have scarcely doubt
but that we shall be successful
We are informed by DR.. Sears, that
Mr.. Peabody intends to revisit the Unit
cd States IN 1871 or II, and to- travel
over the Southern States in order that he
may learn from his own observations the
effects Of his munifcent gift. Should he
come he will receive welcome which has
fallen to the lot of few men to receive.
The people without distinction, will offer
him the sincere homage Of their hearts
His philanthropy is as wide as the world
and embraces all humanity The polit-
clan, the successful military chieftain and
even great statesmen, dwindle into insig-
nificance when compared with this great
philanthropist Their fame will be ephe-
neral ended, while the memory of the
good he has done and is doing, will be as
enduring as the records of humanity it
aelf.

Vote for the Presidency.

The vote Of Arkansas for the Prcsi-
dency was cast yesterday. 1t was sort
Of duplicate affair. The Governor an.
nouneed in his message 10 ajoint session
of the Assembly that the Republican
electors had failed to meet at the hour de-
signated by law lie therefore recon.
mended the Assembly to choose electors
in joint session as provided by law
The following gentlemen were then
elected Presidential electors
Luciaa j. Barnes, and NJ. l. Rice, at
large; lIagan Green, Grs, district; Il G..
Punteny, second district NJ, Larue Har.
rison, third district.
The reason for this seems to have been
that the Republican electors generally
held other offices and hence were not
eligible The Democratic electors met
in due form and deposited their ballots
which will be forwarded to Washington.

Chief Justice Chase on the Test Oath.

A Richmond dispatch of the 18th ut /,
says Chief JUSTICE Chase in his order to-
day dispensed with the test oath to grand
Jurors, explaining That il was an addition
al oath prescribed by Congress, which is
to he taken unless the Court in its dis
erection directs otherwise He had heard
scruples at taking it expressed by some
grand jurors, known to be among those
best qualified for the responsible duties
of their position. Such considerations
have induced Us to inquire whether the
public interests now demand that the
taking of it be required, and we are salts
ell that, while the matter aiirmedin 1t arc
a proper cause of challenge in particular
cases, the ends of justice will be hinder
ell and defeated, rather than promoted
and seconed, by directing it to be admin
istered, unless some special occasion shall
demand it, No Such special occasion
now exists, and inasmuch as the requir
cd number Of grand jurors have not yet
been sworn, we will order those who
have been sworn to be discharged, and
the marshal will summon another grand
jury in the usual manner.
In his charge to the grand jury, he
spoke as follows on revenue frauds:
!" We admonish you, gentlemen, to ex-
ercise your utmost vigilance on the sub
ject. Frauds on the revenue are an evil
which the land cries out upon. Frauds
upon the revenue are frauds upon the
whole body Of taxpayers. Aud no one
who eats, drinks, wears, or is sheltered
under any roof, however humble, now
escapes taxation. Whatever the dishon-
est avoid paying, their worthier fellow
citizens must make up. Investigate
thoroughly, therefore, and spare nobody,
least of all those in the highest and most
responsible positions. Those who are
worthy will welcome the inquiry which
must turn to their praise
