DEMOREST'S MONTHLY,

n magazine of practical utility in the house, a
mirror Of the fashions, and literary conser-
vator of surprising interest and artistic excel
cnce, acknowledged to be the modern parlor
magazine of America
The engraving, 28x32 inches, is from the or
iginal painting, entitled, 'The Pic-Nie on the
Fourth of July
The painting took whole year, and is con-
sdered the finest of the entire list of numerous
populor productions by Lille NJ, Spencer. The
engraving was the labor of four years, by
three eminent artists-John Rodgers, Samuel
Halpin, and Samuel Hollyer; The last named
having been induced to come from Europe to
finish it, The engravers have ably seconded
the successful labors of the painter. None but
artists can fully appreciate the skill and labor
lavshed on this engraving The general eff
tect is very fine and impressive, and the deli
rate finish to the heads will bear the most mi-
mute inspection. The union of line and stipple
is executed with unusual ability, and their
skilful combination has greatly contributed to
the success of the engravers in this unsurpass-
ed proof of their genius.
Thelwork on the engraving alone cost over
seven thousand dollars, besides the cost of the
copyright and is acknowledged by competent
judges the most deliberately finished large work
of art evor engraved in America.
Fine copies of this magnificent picture, on
heavy plate paper, worth $40 each, are to be
given as premium to each subscriber to

TO RENDER EXISTENCE DESIRABLE.

If you are suffering or have suffered,
from involuntary discharges, what effect
does it produce upon your general
health ? Do you feel weak, debilitated, ca
silly tired Does a little extra exertion
produce palpation Of the heart? Does your
liver, or urinary organs, or your kidneys,
frequently get out of order Is your urine
sometimes thick, milky or hocky, or is it
ropy on settling? Or does thick skum
rise to the top? Or is sediment at the
bottom after it has stood awhile ? Do you
have spells of short breathing or dyspepsia?
Are your bowels constipated? Do you have
spells of fainting, or rushes of blood to the
head Is your memory impaired? Is
your mind constantly dwelling on the sub
ject ? Do you feel dull, listless, moping,
tired Of company, of life ? Do you wish to
be left alone, to get away from everybody?
Does any little thing make you start or
jump? Is your sleep broken or restless ?
Is the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The
bloom of your cheek as bright? Do you
enjoy yourself in society as well Do you
pursue your business with the same ener-
gy ? DO you feel as much confidence iu
yourself? Are your spirits dull and flag
ging, given to fits of melancholy? If so, do
not lay it to your liver or dyspepsia. Have
you restless nights? Your back weak. and
have but little appetite, and you attribute
this to dyspepsia or liver-comrlaint?

is light oa the ground in most fields we
have observed, but promises an average
crop. Spring wheat is very good, and SO
of rye and barley. The grass crop will be
heavy and meadows will be ready to cut
