Y? scrofulous affections and ----flr?a,geS5S& disorders,which were agprravated by the scrofu*IWwr m' l0U9 contamination until they were painfully afflicting, have been radically cured in such great numbers in almost every section of the country, that thcpublic scarcely ncod to be informed of Its virtues or use3. Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfclt tenant of the' organism undermines the constitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to breed infection i throughout the bouy, and then, on some favorablo occasion, rapidly develop Into one or other of its I ... I -! < .? (mueous ionn?, ciuicruu wo nuuuw v. vitals.

Ilencc the occasional use of a bottle of this Sarsaparilla is advisable, even when no active symptoms of discas^upear. Persons afflicted with the following c<n(plalnts generally find immediate relief, ana, at length, cure, by the Use of this SARSAPARILLA: St. Anthony's fire. Rose or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Sore Ears, and other aruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Pits, EpClensyf Feuralgia, and the various Ulcerous affections of the muscular and nervous systems. Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are cured by it. though a long time is required for subduing these obstinate maladies by any medicine. But long-continued use of this medicine will cure the complaint Lcueorrhcea or Whites, Uterine Ulcerationsf and Female Diseases, are commonly soon relieved and ultimately enred by its purifying and invigorating effect." Minute directions for each case are found in our Almanac, supplied gratis. Rheumatism and Gout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous matters in the blood, yield quickly to it, as alse Liver Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or In/lam mation of the Liver, and Jaundice. when arising, as they often do, from the* rankling poisons in the blood. This SARSAPARILLA is a great restorer for the strength and vigor of the system. Those who arc Languid and Listless.

"Here, you arc, sir, wasting your valua* blc time?as they say to me," said CharIo3 Dickens one morning, many years ago, as his little boy ran up to him on the Broadstairs sands, spade in hand. And we have often wondered since how many people there are who know what is meant by wasting time ? It is very easy to make mistakes on this subject, for nothing is so deceitful as appearances. We all know that Penelope, that classical model of propriety and all the virtues, employed her timc'in weaving a garment by day and unraveling it by night.? She did this to keep off her "lovers, who wanted to persuade her that her husband, Ulysses, was dead. When the suitors found llAr nllf. nf tVlAV JIMMISpA hflr of WttSfc iirg her time?but at that moment Ulysses knocked at the door, after seeing many men and cities. * In fact, he had come home, and the fair Penelope had her reward after all. Surely it is a waste of time for that old tortoise to try and beat the nimble hare at running, but the silly old thing' will crawl on, without once stopping, at about the pace one gets down1 to the Strand .in a cab .on a rainy day. Presently, down comes the hare at a furious pace?there is no wasting time with him, at all events?but, alas! when arrives breathless at the winning post, he finds the old torioise there before him, fust asleep too. ''Ah," says thp hare, "I wish I had taken my nap at the* end instead of the beginning of the race, and then I should have won it, and that tortoise would have crajyled in vain ; as it is, he has made good use of his time, and I have wasted mine." What an idle man that is yonder, fishiug, hour after hour ! Truly a melancholy spectacle, as stern old Doctor Johnson would say. "A line at one end, and a fool at the other." Wrong again 1 That man is an eminent statesman, wno lias escaped w reoruu ujs weary brain in the company of the kingfisher and the heron. What cioqVcnce, Visdom, and wholesale legislation do we not owe to such hours of idleness ! -Nay, do not some of our best and kindliest thoughts often come to us as we sit on the beach and toss pebbles into the shining sea, covered with its "innumerable smiles?" llccrcation is not ^fastc when it is a rest from real work, and a preparation for more. We confess we never feel at home with a man who must always be doing something. There was a French statesman who wrote a huge book by snatches, in these occasional intervals when he happened to be kept waiting for his dinner. We have not the slightest wish to see this ante-prandial performance. We have no doubt it was a very dull book, for m?n who are never at leisure lire always "dull.r' Fussy men and idle men are equally insufferable to us. Tho real worker is never in a hurry, -'d the real idler, we may add, is never anything else. Who ever heard of Lord Palmerston, or the Duke of Wellington, or Lord Brougham, being in a hurry ? When we sec a man in a great hurry, we may bo pretty certain that his profession consists in doing nothing, and that he is doing that badly. The idlest man we ever knew was always so much pressed for time that he never had five minutes to spare for anything. No one need ever be in such a terrible hurry as this. If ever wc find ourselves so, it is probably because we have been wasting our time. We have had 110 system, and have, therefore, done in an hour what ought to have been finished in twenty minutes; or like the hare, avc have loitered on the way, and then wc make a push for it, and arrive just in time to miss the train. How many hares are there every morning who arrive breathless in the city, because breakfast was half an hour later, or because they would not get up when the clock struck seven! But our readers have a right to ask what constitutes, as a general rule, waste of time. We answer in a single sentence?what'cvcr hinders or prevents you from doing your work in life. Every one realizes that his duty here consists in applying himself-to some worthy work, and his time then safely and without waste be divided into three periods, preparing for work, doing work, and resting from work. Waste of time becomes a thing purely relativo. What is mere waste in one case is real profit in another. The idle man who travels simply for pleasure, is simply wasting his time; the man who trav els lor study, or the man "who travels -to get rest from work, or for the sake of his heafth, ia not wasting or abusiug his time, h3 is tttrning it to good account. ? Let the heart be filled with somo good good principlo )f action, and the mind be directed toward, some congenial pursuit, and then our innocent pleasures will be as little in danger of degenerating into criminal indulgence, as our wholesome recreation into waste of time. The Influence of Pretty Women.? Life becomes more harmonious, it beats with a keener pulse of enjoyment iu the presence of pretty women. After all a charming little figure, a piquant little face, is the best remedy for half the ills of existence, its worries, its vexations. And even in the larger and more placid types of beauty, as in the beauty of Lady Dumbelle, if there is a tinge of stupidity, there is at any rate, air atmosphere of repose, a genial influence, moulding our social converse and habits into gentle shapes. - It is amusing to see how the prottiness of woman tells on her dress, how the order and propriety of her dress tell on homo. The pursuit of beauty, the habit of prettincss, give an ideal dignity to the very arrangement of her bonnet strings. In every move i 'r\ i _ i? i t ment, in every jweep or uer ainpie ioms, in the pose of her languor, in the gay start of her excitement, one feels the softening, harmonizing influenco of the last look in the glass. She may be gay or sorrowful, quiot or energetic but she must be pretty. Beauty exercises an imperceptible compulsion over her, which moulds her whole life into graceful and harmonious forms. Her dress rises out of the mcro clothing into the regions of science, of poetry, of art. A thou sand donsideraions-of tasto, harmonies of 'color, oontrast correspondences,- delicate adjustments of light and shade, dictate the choice of a shawl or tlie tiDt of a glove. And as prettiness tells on 'dress, it tolls on tho home. *' Flowers, pictures, the gay notes of a sonata, the cosiest of couches, gorgeous hues of Indian tapestry, glasswork, of Murano, a hundred exquisite somethings, and nothings are the natural setting of pretty women. The art of the boudoir tells on all, but the chaos of the husband's study.Around the last refuge of barbarism floats an atmosphere of taste and refinement, in which the pretly wife lives and moves and has her being. And from this tone of society, social laws of good humor, of propriety, of self-restraint, consideration for others, for gentleness, of vivacity. The veryliush of rough tones*that have thundered over Feloponnessee, as Pericles bends over Aspasia, the little turns and delicacies ot phrase, the joyous serfdoms and idleness of the manliest and most energetic of men, tell of the triumph of pretty 'women. A Mother's Love. Did ever any one fully appreciate the great boon, next in value to that love towards us manifested by our Heavenly parent in giving his beloved son to die on the cross, that we ungrateful creatures-of his might not be deprived of that which our disobedience had forfeited? or did .there ever exist a man, woman or child, ,who could presume to do justice to tho subject in trying to describe it? 'Tis not through hope of being able to do justice to it that I have taken my pen in hand at this time, but rather to add a word of warning, and at the same time help to guide tfic young and thoughtless to prosperity. '' Honor thy Father and Mother, that thy days may be long in the Land which the Lord thy God giveth thee," is a commandment given by our all-wise Parent, and one which no child can defy and still enjoy life, In our youth we are apt often to come across like matters, that inexperience on our part may render us entirely untie to aeai witn alone;' thiugs which we are apt to see in a false light, and in such instances a mother's love, guided by her greatest experience should be consulted. , How ninny children by heeding the above divine command have lived in prosperity, while others strayiug beyond its limits have drank the bitter dregs ever present in the cup of sin. "e A mother's love will recognizq^nd stretch forth a supporting hand, when nearest friends turn upon you with deepest disdain. Though cares may be bearing that mother rapidly to the grave, she never grows indifferent to- the trials and misfortunes of a child, thoagli-ca-. 'fired"' with the sin of disobedience to thatdivine command, but is willing to take his burden upon her shoulders, and suffer-in his stead, giviug consolation that comes from a heart long a stranger to ease. My I'.Hppiest moments are at such times as I reeaii some act for the comfort and delight of a noble mother, and nothing casts a. greater shadow of regrot over any past history than, the knowledge that I have wantonly of carelessly pained, by word or act, that fond mother's heart. Within the limits of. that command are contaiued joys unspeakable,?outside, certain destruction and eternal wretchedness. Advantages op Crying?A French physician is otit in a long dissertation on the advantage of groaning and crying in general, and especially during surgical operations. He contends that groaning and crying are* two ^rand operations by which nature allays < pauguish; that those patients, who give way to their natural feelings more speedily .recover from accidents and operations than those wh'o suppose it unworthy a man to betray such symptoms of cowardice as either,to groan or cry. He tells of a man who reduced his pulse from the one hundred and twenty-six to sixty, in the course of a few hours, by giving full vent to his emotions. If people arc at all unhappy about anything let them go into their rooms and comfort themselves with a loud boo-hoo and they will feel a hundred percent better afterward. In accordance with the above the crying of children should not be too greatly discouraged. If it is sympathetically repressed the result may be St. Vitus' dance, epileptic fits, or somo other diseaso of the nervous system. What is natural is nearly always useful; and nothing. can be more natural than the crying of children when anything occurs to give them either physical or mental pain.? Good Health. Vengeance op an Indian Girl.?A singular case of jealousy, Which recontly occur red in Western Texas, is given in the El Paso ITerald It seems that a man named Chandos, a native of Rochester, in England, had made love to a beautiful half breed, sixteen years old. The girl was half Apachee and half French. In addition to her great beauty' she was intelligent, vivacious and as activo and alert as an antelope. She was gentle and affectionate, and no one suspected her of possessing the terrible passion which jealousy subsequently aroused in her bosom. The English lover unfortunately became acquainted with a white girl named Wilson, who was on a visit from a Southern State to her friends in Western Texas. Miss Wilson was beautiful and accomplished, and her civilized graces proved more than a match for tho barbarous attractions of the Apache girl. The result was that Chandos deserted the half-breed and became engaged to Miss Wilson. The wedding day was ?sct. On hearing of tho faithlessness of her lover, tho hitherto undeveloped, instincts of her Apaohe blood were roused to all their savago fury in the untutored breast of the belle of the forest. Arming herself with a revolver, she went to the .residence of her lovor, ergpt softly to his room and shot him through the heart as ho was "writing a note to his betrothed. She was arrested a few hours afterwards and confined for the night in an old.log cabin, in default of a prison. ' But her friends rescued hSr, and she fled to tho wilderness, there to take up her abode with her mother's wild kindred. J." . - r. j " ~ u - v... BnglaTi<t and Her; Colonies.. As the people of England ^ increase their^ hold*upon die .government, by means of a more-enlarged and liberal use ofthe elective franchise, the colonial' strength of the kingdom decreases. Home' objects demand/the atteqjtipn of statesmen, and Jiome interests are forcing themselves i;ito the forcgrouiidjto the exclusion of more remote matters of governmental concern. The people ard rowing the boat, and they care for the affairs of England, more than for those, of Canada/ India or Australia. Owingto these causes the over water possessions of the Brit^h Crown arc by no means in as secure a conr ition as they were twenty years ago. Canada talks of annexation to the United States. -There is a party in favor of such a movement in the maritime portions of the province, and the sentiment is spreading itself to all other sections of the Dominion. England has grantorl flio nonrJi* firrhta UU VUV J^Wj^lV UVIVIi vlv UUi 1 X/UV VUVJ are not satisfied.

The child him a tail three inches long, flat, and about three inches broad, and covered with furze, and on the end of the tail is something like a; fleshy bulb, and a finger with one joint and a wejl developed nail.? Dr. Morris states that the child cau wiggle its-tail, and is perfectly formed in every other respect. We understand there is a white man living in Salem, who is blessed with a caudal appendage. His tail, we undestahd, resembles that of a hog, particular-^ ly the Peccary or South American species of that animal. Where is Darwin ?
