Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague, Re-


mittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb Ague,


Periodical Headache, or Bilious Head


ache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed for the


whole class of diseases originating in bill


iaTy arrangement, caused by the Malaria


of miasmatic countries.


No one remedy is louder called for by the ne
cessities Of the American people than sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such we are
now enabled to offer, with perfect certainty
that it will eradicate the disease, and with
surance founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any qusntity.


That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be of immense service in the eommu-
mites where it prevails Prevention is better than
cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he
must run IN violent attacks of this baleful dis
temper. This "CURE expels the nIasmatic
poison of FEVER AND AGUE from the system and
prevents the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach Of its premOnitory symptoms.
1t is not only the best remedy vet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the cheapest
The large quantity we supply for dollar brings it
within the reach of every body and in bilious
districts, where FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every
body should have it and use it freely both for cure
and protection 1t is hoped this price will place it
within the reach of all - the poor as well as the
rich. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
of InteTmttents is, that it contains Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinisn or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.


Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disorders
arise from its irritation, among which are Neural
gia, rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitation,
Painful Affection of the Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in
the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and Derangement of
the Stomach, all of which, when originating in
this cause, put the intermittent type, become
periodical. This ' Cure expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all alike.
1t is an invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing in the
malarious districts If taken occasionally or daily
while exposed to the Infection that will be excre
ted from the system, and cannot accumulate in
sufficient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it
is even more valuable for protection than cure and
few will ever suffer from Intermittents, if they
avail themselves of the protection this remedy

There's good in tears, or they had not been sent


By Him who is all good. 1t is not wise
To keep our Sorrows in our hearts up pent,


When can give them freedom from our eyes
The storm cloud only darkens our fair earth


Until it fileth down i'll genhe rain;
And then what wondrous beauties have their birth
So. when the heart is overcharged with pain,
We see a shadow upon every good;


But let our heavy sorrows have their way,
And as they well into a fearful flood,


What comfort may yet come! All, who can say3
Grief hath mission holisr than joy


ItmOyes the selfish, and it warns the cold;
1Ommon sorrow will cen pain destroy,


And change the king and beggar to one mold
Our griels should make us genier TO our kind,
And as we comfort need, II ore comfort pay;
So using sorrow, we tears shall find

BIBLE REvIsIoS.-It is we'll known that DR..

in any respect prepared for it the Greek and
the Epglish which should enable us to bring this
to a successful end, might, it is to be feared,

The other difficulties which would beset such an

serious to me the more contemplate them

trust and believe that it, like so many other

The question is frequently asked us, by
Douglas men, "What are we to do, now that


our party is defeated in the State at large


Where are we to go? Shall we join this


party or that party, or shall we remain neu-


trail ?" Our unhesitating reply is, be firm and


true 10 your principles You have been hon


est and independent in your political opin-
/ ions thus far BE so still. There is nothing


to be gained by abandoning what is just and
true. Though maionties should be rolled up
against you to the "crack Of DOOM" your
principles are none the less worthy, none the
less sacred But the right cannot always
fail. Error, falsehood, venalty and corrup-
tion may flourish for a season. but they must
ultimately fall and ANONYMOUSLY bite the
dust at the feet of truth and justice The
scriptural Devil does much evil by clothing
himself in the habiliments Of righteousness
and preaching good while he commits wrong.
So with the black devil Of Lecomptonism.


lie steals the garb of popular sovereignty
which he has no right to wear puts on the
mask of devotion to the rights of the people
purloins the thunder of the Douglas party,
and, making the more stupid masses believe
that he is a better Douglas man than Doug
las himself, wheedles them into the support
Of unmitigated political corruption and un-
bounded official villainy. But this thing, as
we have said, cannot always last. The Dew
il of the Bible is to be let loose for season,
and afterwards bound down to the bottom of
hell with an uni readable chain. SO will the
dragon Of Lecomptonism be bound down in
the hell of public contempt and indignation,
after he has had his little season.


Never did wrong and outrage flourish long
in a free country. The people soon begin to
see the undermining process at work upon
their liberties, and arouse themselves in time
to counteract and repeal it. Without their
consent no scheme of tyranny or corruption
can be carried out. They may, under a Sc
rious misapprehension, lend their votes, at
times, for the support of efforts which are
aiming directly at their destruction, but they
will eventually arise from their lethargy,
awake from their delusion and, turning upon
their deceiyers, crush them to death beneath
their feet


Therefore, we would say to the Douglas
men of this region as we'll as elsewhere, be
Of good cheer; abandon no part of your
ground; you are nobler men in defeat than
your enemies in victory; your day will come
success will eventually crown you, if you but
remain true to yourselves and the cause
which you have espoused But, if you
should not succeed if it should so happen
that you never live to see the day when
your principles win be adopted, is it not bet
ter to fail in good cause than succeed in
bad one? Henry Clay said he would rather
be right than be Pre- tsdent. And zoe say that
we would rather be a wart-producing toad,
domiciled in the damp precincts of some sun
less cave, than one of those lacqueyed syco-
phants of power who receive their opinions

OILING HARNEss.-I have lately met
with process which was recommended BY
Fl. Baker, proprietor Of tbe most extensive

Take meats foot oil and ivory or patent
black-the latter well pulverised, or to be
made so before using. Mix thoroughly, ad-
ding the black until the oil is we'll colored
or quite black. In cool weather the oil
should be warmed somewhat before mixing.
With sponge apply a light coat of the mix
ture-only what the leather will readily ab-
sorb, unless the harness is very dry, in which
case heavier coat may be necessary. After
the harness is dry, wash thoroughly with
soapsuds. In making the suds use good cas-
tile soap and cold rain water. Warm water
should never be used on harness leather
Apply the suds with a sponge. Rub off
with buckskin. This will give your harness
a nice glossy surface, and the leather will re-
tain good color and will continue pliable
for months. If it becomes solid with mud
or sweat, an application Of soap and water,
