1t is remarkable how many of the orig
inal and lifelong Abolitionists-men and
women-and those early interested in'the
anti-slavery movement are still alive, not
few of them having passed the oft quot
ed three score and ten usually accepted
as the limit of human existence. Among
those prominent in the anti-slavery cause
are William Lloyd Garrison, rightly call
ed the Father of American Abolitionism,
age 73; Wendell Phillips, &c; Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Is; William Cullen Bry-
ant, S3; Lydia Maria Child, 76, (she wrote
an Appeal in Behalf of that Glass of
first distinctively anti-slavery books pub
lished in the country J George B. Cheev-
er, II Arab Gilbert, 76; Lucreta Mott,
So; Sydney Howard Gay, 62; Henry w

A Bronson Alcott, 70; Oliver johnson,

Freeman Clarke, 6S; James Russell Lo-
well, SO; Edward Everett Hale, 90; Parke
Goodwin, 62 and dozens of others who
might be mentioned, between the ages of
longevity of the early Abolitionists is that
they have entertained moral ideas, and
these spring from moral conduct. which
includes temperance in living and gener
al conformation to hygienic laws. Very
few of the noted pro-slavery leaders and
advocates. on the other hand, are living
to-day. The most conspicuous of those
alive are Jefferson Davis and Robert
Toombs. William L. Yancey and j. D.
B. DeBow, one of the great political apos-
tie of secession, and the other the indie
fatigable advocate of the kingship of cot
ton, have passed away; so have Preston
S. Brooks, Senator Wigfall, Francis w.
Pickens. John c. Breckenridge, Henry A.
Wise, Robert E. Lee, Laurence M Keith,
Duff Green, Barnwell Rhett, John NJ
Daniel, Edward A. Pollard, Clement c.
Vallandigham, George E. Pugh, Jesse D.
Bright, Garrett Davis, w. R. Taber, Jr.,
and most of the men influential in bring
ing on and keeping up the civil war by
their counsel, sympathy, and material
and moral aid. For every living man who
advocated slavery, we venture to say that
half dozen living men opposed to sla-
very could be shown, if all the facts and
figures were obtainable.

Manifested ofttimes in Secondary Symptoms,
Nodes, rheumatism, White Swellings, Dis
eased Bones Ulcers, Skin Disease, ETC., and all
diseases arising from mal-treatment where the
constitution is broken down from the terrible
effects of mercury.
If you know of a remedy whereby fellow
being can find relief from suffering is it not
criminal to suppress that knowledge? Should
motives OF false delicacy prevent you heralding
forth the news? Do we then need to cloak our
anguage in meaningless words, and SO feebly
express ourselves that those suffering can not
understand for what diseases Swaim's Panacea
is particularly useful? Hundreds are suffering
from tainted constitu tions, being eaten up by
disease, destroying their bones and consuming
them, who may be relieved, and the great mass
of them cured, by this remedy. We beg to as
sure our readers it does not contain any mer-
curial ingredients, and can be taken by either
sex with impunity and will never injure.
Please bear this particularly in mind.
Swaim's Panacea has received the endorse
ment of the principal medical men of this
country for its marvellous cures Prof Valen-
tine Mott of this city Profs. Chapman and
Devices, of Philadelphia, and hundreds of 9TH

From the subversion Of the Roman
Empire TO the fourteenth or fifteenth
century, women spent most OF their
time alone, almost entire strangers to
the joys Of social life; they seldom went
abroad, but TO be spectators Of sucb
public diversions and amusements a.
the fashions Of the times countenanced
Francis l. was the first who introduced
women on public days to Court; before
his time nothing was be seen at any az
the Courts Of Europe, but gray
bearded politicians, plotting the de-
struction Of the rights and liberties Of
mankind, and warriors clad In com
plete armor, ready TO put their plots IN
execution. In the thirteenth and four-
teenth centuries elegance had scarcely
any existence, and even cleanliness was
hardly considered as laudable. The
use OF linen was not known; and the
most delicate Of the fair sex wore wool
en- shirts. In Paris they had meat only
three times a week; and 100 livres
tabout t5), was large portion for 4
young lady. The better sort Of citizens
used sPlinters of wood and rags dipped
in oil, instead of candles, which. IN
those days, were rarity hardly 10 be
met with. Wine was only TO be had At
ne shops OF the apothecaries, where II
was sold as cordial: and to ride in 4
two-wheeled cart, along the dirty, rug
red streets, was reckoned grandeur
a 80 enviable a nature, that Philip the
Fair prohibited the wives Of citizens
from enjoying it. In the time OF Hem
ry VIII, Of England, the peers Of the
realm carried their wives behind them
,n horseback when they went to Lon
Ion; and 10 the same manner took
HON back % their country -seats, with
hoods Of wayed linen over their heads.
