Ayers Ague Cure,

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever.
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &C.,
and indeed all the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatc
poisons.
AS its name implies, it does Cure, and does not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bis
mnth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous
substance whatever, it in nowise Injuries any pa
tent. The number and Importance of its cures
in the ague districts, are literally beyond account,
and we believe without q parallel In the history
Of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratifed by the
acknowledgements we receive Of the radical cures
effected in obstinate cases, and where other rem
edies had wholly failed.
Unacclimated persons, either resident in, or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the AGUE CURE daily,
For LIVER Complaints, arising from torpid
ating the Liver into healthy activity >.
For Bilioas Disorders and Liver Complaints, It
is an excellent remedy, producing many truly
remarkable cures, where other medicines had
failed.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, WhoopinG
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
ar1 Con s11mDtiOn.

0A4N
Probably never before in the whole history or
medicine, has any thing won SO widely and 50
dppnly upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through q long series Of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, as it has become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va
rious affections of the lungs and throat, nave
made it known as q reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms Of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most ~effectual remedy that can be given for incip-
tent consumption, and the dangerous affections
Of the throat and lungs. AS 4 provision. against
sudden attacks of Group, it should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some.
times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, Still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry PICTORIAL. So complete Is Its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to 1t.
When nothing else could reach them, under the
Cherry Pecforat they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great
protection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cher9'y PectOraI in small and frequent doses.
SO generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates of them here, Or
do more than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.

Upon the above the New York Com
mcrciai 1drertiscr remarks: These
messages from the sea, - however, are
not uncommon, and generally prove TO
be hOaxes, and there are several reasons
why this one is probably no exception
to the rule. In the first place, the City
of Boston left Halifax on the 2sIh Of
January mot in March, as the story is
published in the Commercial .Alrertiserl,
and it is hardly probable that she was
knocking about up to March 21st, with
out having been discovered. Then the
note is addressed to no one, and gives
no latitute nor longitude, while the sig
nature is common enough to be found in
nearly every passenger list. Lastly, OH
inquiry at the Office Of the agents of the
Inman line in this city, we cannot as
certain that any such paper has been
received. For these reasons the genuine
ness Of the message may very reasOna-
bly, ydOubted.-E.rchOHg6.

FASHION.

The first instinct about a new fashion
is the true one. Don't wait till your

decision. @ l 7
Cd. What suits one person does not
suit another. Know thyselk

points and correct bad ones. Thick and
thin, long and short, are not all to be
subjected to one PrOcrustean style.
4th. COlOrs should be harmonious,
should be massed-shOuld be becoming.
I'd est, many little points or blOtehes Of
color sprinkled over a costume produce
a disagreeably pied and speckled effect,
as of mOnstrOus robins egg, or a plum

The Duinn Ncrcr Hcen-

1T is striking fact that the dying
never weep. The sobbing, the heart
breaking agony of the oircleo of friends
around the death-bed, call forth no re-
sponsive tears from the dying. Is it
because he is insensible, and stiff in the
chill Of dissolution? That cannot be, for
he asks for his father's hand, as if to
gain strength in the mortal struggle.
and on the breast of his mother, sister or
brother, is still conscious of Affection
Just before he expires he calls the loved
ones, and with quivering lips SAYS,
kiss mel showing that the love which
he has ever borne in his heart is still
fresh and warm. It must be because
the dying have reached a point too
deep for earthly sorrows, too transcend
ant for weeping-They are face to face
with higher and hOlier things, With the
Father in Heaven and his angels
There is no weeping in that blest abode
to which he is Fastening. = Exchange. Z

WHAT IS 1T?

For some time past being has been
observed riding the in Madison ave, and
broadway stages. The being is remark
able for its attention to lady passengers.
The being rises about five feet four in
ehes from the sidewalk. It's complexion
is dark. Its face aud throat are so CO.
vered with wrinkles that it would be diff
licult to get another wrinkle in. The
high color outside its cheek bones sug-
gests rogue. Its ears are very large and
its legs very thin, as though Nature had
expended on ears the material that
ought to have gone for legs. It's NOUS
tache, goatee, hair, Jared dyed blue black,
and are lavishly creased. Its hands are
large, and the color of English sausages.
Its chest is capaciOus with padding, and
is extensive shoulders are put on and off
with its coat.
The beings clothing is artistic and di-
verse. It's coat is blue, black, brown,
and variegated in succession. It's waist
coat is changed five or six times daily.
Its neck-ties alternate beween red, blue,
and white. It's shirt-bosom is frilled and
fluted and plated by turns. In the cen
tire of it is a cluster diamond nearly the
size of a picked onion. It generally has
a-smirk on its countenance and small
silk umbrella in the right hand II
wears no rings. They would interfere
with its gloves.
On lady's entering the stage the be-
ing becomes restless. 1t pulls down the
linen over its gloves, as though anxious
to show that the spOtless bosom with the
diamond has sleeves belonging to it. 1t
fingers the cluster, to see perhaps that Ii
has not gone Off in coruscatiops. 1t TOYS
with its mOustache, and closes its fist
over its goatee, 1t fillips a speck off its
pantaloons, and throws back its coat, as
though to air the padding underneath.
1t keeps its eye on the lady all the time.
When she gets out her fare, it shoves its
glove and shirt cuff under her chin and
smirks until the wrinkles cross each
other. If two or three gentlemen are
not between il and the lady, il matters
not The glove and the cuff and the |
smirk nre thrust IN front of them; and
