Ayers Ague Cure.

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &C.,
and indeed all the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmstic
poisons.
AS its name implies, it does Cure, and does not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth,
Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance
whatever, it in nowise injuries any patient. Ihe
number and importance of its cures in the ague dis
tricts are literally beyond account and we believe
without a parallel in the history of Ague medicine.
Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgements we
receive of the radical cures efected in obstinate
cases, and where other remedies had wholly failed.
Unacclimated persons, either resident IN, or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be pro
tected by taking the AGJ JE CURE daily.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidify
of the Liver, it is excellent remedy, stimulating
the Liver into healthy activity
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, t is
an excellent remedy, producing many truly re-
markable cures, where other medicines had failed.

And needs no Sundays out.

And Dick, the tailor, too might well
Be scared to see the knave,
He'll cut poor Jim. the cobbler's corns
And thin the barber shave.
Thin, raoxl, when he looks upon the land,
To see the praties. at his call,
Rise in their majesty.
He bates Sam Slick, the clock-maker,
And stops the miners breath;
He's nate on Old tin pots and pans
And on tobacky-death.

THE sUBJEoTIoN OF WOMEN. -Bz Aiittsssa7r JoHN STUART M1h1. si-l haa

Having just read the above work, we would like little space to call attention to
 it, and give it our hearty commendation to
 all thinkers upon the subject. It is short, contains 18S pages, published by D. Apple ton &FCo., 90. Grand Street, New York, and cost us but eighty cents. It is 6 com prehensiye, snccinct and lucid statement of the whole question at issue. We advise every doubter, joker and caviller to pro- cure copy and read it attentively. Of course, those who are born fools will bray
 the louder the more they are beaten with the pestle of argument. They probably have an " instinct" for it. Those who rea- son only through their feelings and preju- dices, are more to be pitied than blamed. We can get along without them, and shall
 be glad to welcome them into the ranks after their conversion by the stern logic of events. Mir. Mill strikes at the root of the
 difficulty, by contending for the abolition
 of the customs and laws which place one
 half of the human race in legal servitude to the other half. It is a little singular, that in partnerships, the law allows equal rights, except in those for life. His an swer to those who ask what good can we expect from changes in these relics of feu- dalism, and who think that whatever is, is good enough, is most admirable. THe adoantage of hauing he msost ,Aaiversal aud peroading of aH human relations regulatsd 6y justice instead of injustice" These are gold en words. We place such statements as the above, which. is only sample of the book, against what seem to Us, the illibe- ral, ungenerous. and heartless assertions in Dr. Bushnell's work, and ask for judg- ment. ..s.. r.s- r...'. s...-. .. # r.-... ...
 Suffrage, Dr. B. tells us, is an acquired right. But he does not tell us why one half gallanty called the better half--of the human race, should be legally debarred from exercising functions common to both as is the case in all monarchies-or what constitutional or organic difficulty lies in the way of their acquiring the right of suffrage On equal terms with men. We want a categorical answer to this question. We austhav it, or the public will give judgment against the opposers of liberty in default Meanwhile let the documents be circulated; etevery tongue and pen be at work, and that which is true and right will be vindicated before the bar of public opinion, and ALI THE PEOPLE shall say, Amen,to Woman's Suffrage. f. w.

Ia DRESS. -Clearly we want reform in
 dress that should work towards moral, as-
 thetic and social, ends. Dress should be,
 in the first place, conscientious; in the sec
 ond, beautiful; in the third, appropriate.
 A crusadef against fashions must send tra-
 ditions to the four winds and acknowledge
 no cafons but those of reason. r Tradition
 imposes upon women an elaborate, foolish, and often unhealthy toilette. But what is tradition. to us? Why should not the one
 sex discard chimney-pot hats and swallow
 tail coats, and ftbe other Clec0ilete dresses and corsets2 Why should men enjoy all
 the ease and women all the elegance? It
 universally ackno owIedged that the happi- est state of society is one which makes wo
 man the companion of man., but this com panionship Is limited by an undue idea of appropriateness in dress. In public walks and parks, for instance, little boys. are al-
 lowed to play about helter-skelter; but lie-
 tie girls, because they will spoil and disar-l
 range their clothes, are compelled to walk demufely beside their nurse or governess.
 Again, the daily walk off man is an ac cessible pleasure in most weathers; but how many women keep at home, either from a dislike ofothefelaborate process of lacing boots, fastening hooks and pins, ty-
 sAS"' and so on ad iyiaitum; or from want of tinne to achieve both toilette and exercise,
 or from want ofraf dress really suitable for indictment weather? The consequence IS, that an occasional. promenade takes the place of nything like healthy exercise
 and the sanle habit is carried to the water ing place land the country. A lad who should take his. sisters for a rough walk
 through the woods would assureaiy get a
 scolding on account of torn maslins: sod
 den shoes, and sur burnt faces; qand he grows upsWith the notion that girls are
 very pleasant companions once in a while, but a good deal of trouble to look after. This state of things is very, inexpedient. and what Fashion should be founded on it's expediency? We admit that an easy |intercourse between theEwo sexes improves the character from childhood upwards, and renders the relations of after life Happier; vet, we allow tho complications Of costume to stand in the wsysof ali iatercoatse but Ithat of the drawing g-roomY Simplity dress 1 and more would be doneto strengthen the character and fortify the health of women than by any elaboration of hygeine or ed- - 6Al.s ls..gaf9gey8f9 ag a~.a5N fzxs *sz 7

There is little to see to writsS about, The market gardens which abound along the line of the road near the seity gradually broaden out as you get further away, with large farms and wide acres of corn, hay, oats, etc, while everywhere tokens of thrift and industry abound, These New Jersey farmers ought to be happy and con- tented, and hope they are.

cising the highest right of a
