Ayers AgCe Cure,


For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, 60, and indeed
al the affections which arise from malari-
GUS, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This Is compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomtant disorders. Such
remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine get discovered for the
Of Intermittents is, that it contains no aui.
nine or mineral, and those who take 1t are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years In the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that ithas gained the reputation of being infal.
hble. Itcan, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague Of the West, and the Chilis and Fever Of
the South. 1t counteracts the miasmatic poison
IN the blood, and frees the system from its inHu-
ence, SO that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by il, do not return until the
disease is again contracted.

the irritation Of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism. Gout, Headache, Blindness,
TOothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal

of the Stomach. all Of which become intermit-
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike
and protects the system from future attacks. As
. preventive, 1t is of immense service In those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, az
1t stays the development Of the disease If taken
onthe first approach Of tine premonitory symp.
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
win ever suffer II they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints. arising from torpidity,
1t is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark

The Feminine Mystery.


Vanity Fair
The question which we considered last
week, Why Men Marry" is an inter
esting one but it must be pronounced
inferier in interest to the question :" Why
Women Marry" in the degree in which
men are IN all respects less interesting
than women. The willingness OF women
to marry Is greater and more patent than
that OF men and, we viii add, that 1t Is
great deal more wonderful. That
women have, 10 use a colloquial phrase,
the worst OF it all through lite, we enter
tain no doubt, and that the matrimonial
state, as Understood by experience, has,
IS a rule, fewer attractions for them than
for men, we also believe to be true.
Yet, while there are many men who,
from choice, abstain from marrying, and
still more who put off marrying till
he last practicable moment, we doubt
if there is any women worth mentioning
who refuse the married state from option
and elaboration, and not many who
postpone marrying till late period Of
life from general repugnance to having
a husband. That woman refuse indi
vidusl men, and sometimes 60 on refus-
ing man after man, is true enough but
then their objection is to the man and
not TO the condition OF Ii that msn
proposes; or, not unfrequently, their
refusal arises from mere skittishness,
from a feeling they may do better, or
from a cheerful conviction that there is
plenty of time to think about it." As
rule, however, women who have the
chance OF marrying, marry, and they
would marry yet more promptly than
they do were it not that they are fTe-
quently held back from taking foolish
step by wise parents or dissuading friends.
How is this apparent paradox to be ex-
plaiued2 There is less to induce woman
to marry than TO induce men yet men
hesitate to marry and women jump at
marriage. Some will answer that man is
rational and woman an irrational ami
NAL, but over and above the distinction
being too uncomplimentary to be true,
1t Is one of those plausible explanations
that explain nothing. Again, it is scme-
times affirmed that, in marrying, men
sacrifice liberty, whereas women in mar
rying acquire it. But this is an epigram
easily disposed Of. When men sacrifice
what is called their liberty by marrying,
they are already tired of their liberty, or
that particular form of it which bachelor
hood enjoys, ard were the point
thoroughly examined, we suspect it
would be found that they abandon q
form of liberty OF which they are weary
Tor another form they have not yet
posse ssed.

Is there any one who will defend the
practice of profane swearing? Who
thinks it an Accomplishment? And yet
but few vices are so general, and go
seldom rebuked. Boys think it brave,
and young men regard it as an expression
of their independence, and older men
find the habit fixed upon them, and hard
to overcome. Thus the class of profane
swearers is year by var multiplied. II

The Effect of Gaslight Upon La
dies Costumes.

All laiies know that a color presents a
ferent tint in the daytime to that
shown in artificial light. The color OF
the texture gains or Iooses by the lattei
according u tte amount of yellow con
tanned in it, Violet. which Is a compile
mentary color to yellow, is decomposed
in gaslight; the blue disappears snd it
becomes red. Blue, If pure, thus borders
on green; If dark, it appears harsh and
black, and if pale, loses color and be
comes gray. Turquoise silk, which by
sunlight is beauti ul, loses its brilliancy
and appears faded. In ascending the
scale of colors yellow greens are smone
the prettiest for evening wear. ThSs
spplegreen Is not far from emerald, and
emerald, without changing in tint, gains
in brilliancy and richness. Amber al
ready beautiful, acquires, richness straw
color slightly reddens in the folds; per-
maps more charming than maize, for.
without losing its pecu lar quail ties, it
gains an undefnable warmth Of tint.
The same eff ct Is produced in red shac es,
tor the yellow glare of evening lights,
which sre so fatal to blue, augments
their splendor. Ruby is heightened in
its beauty, particularly in plush mater

fetal light Those beautiful blacks, so
well named after the ravens wing be-

the blue shade which gives them life
and depth. White, on he contrary, inn
proves at night, and If faded revives
For this reason actresses often ask for
white that has lost its color, believing
that the foot-lights will restore its lost
briliiancy. This white is called blanc
de-lumiere. A ,lor which retains its
charm is silver gray--always pleasing
