THE BROKEN HEART. BY WASHINGTON IRVING. “I never heard Os any true affection but ’twas nipt With care, that like the caterpillar eats The leaves of spring’s sweetest book, the rose.” [MIDDLETON. It is a common practice with those who have outlived the susceptibility of the early feeling, or have been brought up in the gay heartlessness of dissipated life, to laugh at all love stories, and to treat the tales of romantic passion as mere fictions of novelists and poets. My observations on human nature have induc ed me to think otherwise. They have con vinced me that however the surface of the character may be chilled and frozen by the cares of the world, or cultivated by mere smiles by the arts of society, still there are dormant fires lurking in the depths of the cold est bosom,, which, when once enkindled, be come impetuous, and are sometimes desolat ing in their effect. Indeed, I am a true be liever in the blind deity, and go to the full ex tent of his doctrines. .Shall I confess it ? I believe in broken hearts, and of the possibility of dying of disappointed love! Ido not, how ever, consider it a malady often fatal to my own sex, but if I firmly believe that it withers down many a lovely woman into an early grave. Man is the creature of interest and ambition. His nature leads him forth in the bustle and struggle of the world. Love is hut the embel lishment of his early life, or a song piped in the intervals of the acts. lie seeks for fame, for fortune, for space in the world’s thought and dominion over his fellow men. Tbit a woman’s whole life is a history of the affec tions. The heart is her world : it is there her ambition strives for empire—it is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures. She sends forth her sympathies on adventure —she em barks her whole soul in the traffic of affection; and if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless—for it is the bankruptcy of the heart. To a man the disappointments of love may cause some biller pangs; it wounds some feel ing of tenderness—it blasts some prospects of felicity. Ilut he is an active being; he may dissipate his thoughts in the world of varied occupations, or may plunge into the tide of pleasure ; or, if the scene of disappointment be too full of painful sssociations, he can shift his abode at will, and taking, as it were, the wings of the morning, “can fly to the utter most parts of the earth, and be at rest.” But woman is comparatively a fixed, a se cluded, and a meditative life. She is more the companion of her own thoughts and feel ings, and if they are turned to ministers of sor row, where shall we look for consolation ( Her lot is to be wood and won, and, if unhap py in her love, her heart is like some fortress that has been captured and sacked, and aban doned and left desolate. How many bright eyes grow dim! flow many soft checks grow pale! llow many j lovely forms fadeaway into the ’ tomb, and none can tell the cause that blighted their love liness! As the dove will clasp its wings to its side, and cover and conceal the arrow that is praying on its vitals—so it is the nature of woman to hide from the world the pang of wounded affection. The love of a delicate female is always shy and silent. Even when fortunate, she scarcely breathes it to herself, but when otherwise, she buries it in the re cesses of her heart, and there lets it cower and brood among the ruins of her peace. With her the desire of her heart has failed—the great charm of existence is at an end. She neglects all the cheerful exercises which glad dened the spirits and quickened the pulses, and sent the tide of life in healthful currents through the veins. Her rest is broken ; the sweet refreshment of sleep is poisoned by melancholy dreams; “dry sorrow drinks her blood,” until her feeble frame sinks under the slightest external injury. Look for her a lit tle while, and you find friendship weeping o ver her untimely grave, and wondering that one who but lately glowed with all the radi ance of both health and beauty, should so speedily be brought down to darkness and the worm. Aon will be told of some wintry chill some casual indispositisn that laid her low.— But no one knows the mental malady which pre\ iously sapped her strength, and made her so easy a prey to the spoiler. She is like some tender tree, the beauty and pride of the grove, graceful in its form, bright in its foliage, but with the worm preying at its heart. We find it suddenly withering when it should be most fresh and luxuriant. We see it dropping its branches to the earth, leaf by leaf, until, wasted and perished away, it falls in the stillness of the forest; and as we muse over the beautiful ruin, we strive in vain to recollect the blast of the thundbolt that could have smitten it with decay. I have seen many instances of women run ning to waste and self-neglect, and disappear ing gradually from the earth, almost as if they had been enhaled to heaven, and have repeat edly lancied that 1 could trace their death, throughout the various declensions of cold, consumptions, debility, languor, melancholy, until 1 reached the first symptoms of disap pointment love. But an instance of the kind was lately told me. The circumstances are well known in the country where they happens ed, and I shall but give them in the manner in which they were related. Every one must recollect the tragical story ofE , the Irish patriot. It was too touch ing to be easily forgotten. During the trou bles in Ireland, he was tried, condemned and executed, on a charge of treason. 11 is fate made a deep impression on public sympathy —he was so young, so intelligent, so gener ous, so brave, so every thing that we apt to like in a young man. His conduct under trial, too, was so lofty and intrepid. The noble in dignation with winch he repelled the charge of treason against his country, the eloquent vindication of his name, and his pathetic ap peal to posterity, in the hopeless hour of con demnation—all these entered deeply into eve ry generous bosom. And even his enemies lamented the stern policy that dictated his ex ecution. But there was one heart whose anguish it would be impossible to describe. In happy days and farier fortunes, lie had won the af fections of a beautiful and interesting girl, and daughter of a celebrated Irish barrister. She loved him with the disinterested fervor of a woman’s first and early love. When every worldly maxim arrayed itself against him when blasted in fortune, disgrace and danger darkened around his name, she loved him the more ardently for his sufferings. If then his fate could awaken even the sympathy of his foes, w hat must have been the agony of her, whose whole soul was occupied bv his imaged Let those tell who have had the portals of the tomb suddenly closed between them and the being whom they mot loved on earth—w ho have sat at its threshold as one shut out in a cold and lonely world, from whence all that was most lovely and loving have disappeared. But then, the horrors of such a grave, so frightful, so dishonored! there was nothing for memory to dwell on that could soothe the pang of separation ; none of those tender though melancholy circumstances, which en dear tfio scen° nothing fn m p H sorrow into those blessed tears sent like the dew of heav en, to revive the heart in the anguish of the parting hour. To render her situation more desolate, she had incurred her father's displeasure by her unfortunate attachment, and was an exile from her paternal roof. But could the sympathy and kindly offices of friends have reached a spirit so shocked and driven in by horror, she would have experienced no w ant ot consola tion, for the Irish are a people of quick and generous sensibilities. The most delicate and cherished attentions were paid her by families of wealth and dis tinction. She was led into society, and they tried, by all kinds of occupation and amuse ment to dispite her grief, and w in her from the tragical story of her love. But all in vain.— There are some strokes of calamity which scathe and tear the soul —which penetrate the vital seat of happiness and blast it, never again to put forth bud or blossom. She never ob jected to frequent the haunts of pleasure, but she was as much alone there as in the depth of solitude. Walking about in a sad reverie, apparently unsoncious of the world around her she carried within her an inward woe that mocked all the blandishments of friendship, and “heeded not the charmer, charmed he ev er so wisely.” The person who told me her story had seen her at a masquerade. There can be no exhibition of far-gone wretchedness more striking and painful than to meet it in such a scene—to find it wandering like a spectre, lovely and joyless, where all around is gay —to see it dressed out in the trappings of mirth, and looking so wan and woe-begone, as if it had tried in vain to cheat the poor heart into a momentary forgetfulness of sor row'. After strolling through the splendid rooms and giddy crowd with an air of utter abstraction, she sat herselfdown on the steps of the orchestra, and looking about for some time w ith a vacant air that shomed her insen sibility to the garish scene, she began, with the capriciousness of a sickly heart, to w arble a plaintive air. She had an exquisite voice, but on this occasion it was so simple, so touch ing—it breathed forth such a soul of wretch edness, that she drew a crowd, mute and silent around her, and melted every one into tears. The story of one so true and tender could not but excite, in a country remarkable for enthusiasm, interest. It completely won the heart of the brave officer, who paid his ad dresses to her, and thought that she, so true to the dead, could not but prove affectionate to the living; she declined his attention, for her thoughts w r ere irrevocably engrossed with the memory of her former lover. He, how ever, persisted in his suit. He solicited not her tenderness, but her esteem. He was as sisted by her convictions of his worth and her sense of her ow n destitution and dependant situation, for she was existing on the kindness of friends. In a word, he at length succeed ed in gaining her hand, though with the solemn assurance that her heart was unaltera bly another’s. He took her with him to Sicily, hoping a change of scene might w r ear out a memory of early woe. She was an amiable and exem plary wife, and made an effort to be a happy one. But nothing could cure the silent and devouring melancholy that had entered into her very soul. She wasted away into a slow hut hopeless decline, and at length sunk into the grave, the victim of a broken heart. It was on her that Moore, the distinguished Irish poet, composed the following lines: “She is far from the land where her young hero sleeps! And lovers around her are sighing; But coldly she turns from their gaze and weeps, For her heart in his grave is lying. She sings the wild songs of her dear native plains. Every note which he loved awaking— Ah! little they think who delight in her strain’s, llow the heart of the minstrel is breaking! He had lived for his love, for his country he died; They were all that to life entwined him : Nor soon shall the tears of his country be dried, Nor long will his love stay behind him. Oli make her a grave where the sunbeams rest, When they promise a glorious morrow ; They’ll shine o'er her sleep like a smile from the west. From her own loved island of sorrow !” From the Spirit of the Times A MISSOURI POLITICAL SPEECH. BY J. B. H. OF SHADY HILL, MISSOURI. Browns Hotel, Washington,May 13, 1850. Mr. P. — Sir :—As the daily prints in this city are filled w ith interminable speeches in tended for Buncombe, I have concluded to send you the following spicy and patriotic ef fusion, originally intended for the same mar ket, being an extract from a stump speech ro cently delivered in Missouri, and leaving it to you if it doesn’t take the shine off’any thing that has emenated from tlits great focus of wit and eloquence. j. r. h. “Friends and feller citizens of this conflic tious community—what I’m speakin’ of I al lude to, I say, a crisis has arrir. The w heels of our government has stopped—the machine ry’s deranged—the rudder’s unshipped—the biler’s bursted—h—l’s afloat, and the river’s risin’. Our glorious ship of State that, like a bob-tailed gander’s been floatin’ majestically down the peaceful current of time, has had its harmony disturbed and it's now driftin’ with fearful rapidity towards the shoals and quick sands of disunion, threatenin’ to dash every thing to flindrigs, and pick itself up in the end agone goslin. Hearken no longer, ye wor thy denizends of Hog Hole and Terripin Neck, and the adjacent regions to that siren voice that whispers in your too credulous ears the delusive sound, peace! peace! for peace has done, sloped flowed to other lands,or div to the depths of the mighty deep, or in the more emphatic language of Tecumseh, when nddressin the assembled hosts on the plains of Marathory, on the eve of battle he ex claimed : ‘•Go flickerin’through the fogs of other climes, To aid the miser watchin’ of his gimes.” “Or of Alexander the Great at the battle of Bunker’s Hill, who, in the agency of despair, frantically shrieked,—“Gone glimmerin’ thro’ the dreams of other days, a school boy’s tale, the wonder of an hour.” “Feller citizen’s—in our halls of legislations confusion runs riots, and anarchy reigns su preme. Arouse, then, shake off the dew drops from your huntin’ shirts, and fall into ranks. Sound the tocsin! beat the drum! and blow the toot horn, till the startled echoes, rever batin’ Irom hill-top to hill-top, and from go pher-hill to gopher-hill, shall cause the ada mantine hiUs of New England, the ferrugin ous deposites ot Missouri, and the auifarious particles of Californy, to prick up their ears, and in whispered accents, inquire of their neighbors : “What can the matter be ?” “Feller citizens—l repeat it, to your posts! and from the topmost peaks of the Allegha nies, bid defiance to the universal Yankee na tion,by shoutin’ the terrific watchword, ‘who’s afraid ?’ in such thunder tones, that quakin’ with terror, they shall forget that niggers is. Don your rusty regimentals—burnish up vour fire locks —gird on your trusty broadswoards | —bid farewell to your crusty helpmates— mount your lusty chargers, and save the na- j tion or burst your biler! “Feller citizens—The great bird of Ameri can liberty’s flowed aloft, and soarin upon the ; wings of the wind, is now hoverin’ high o’er the cloud capped summits of the Rocky Mountains, and when he shall have penetrat ed into the unknown regions of unlimited space, and then shall have duv down and lit on daddy’s wood pile, I shall be led to ex claim, in the grand, the terrific, the sublime language of Paul the Apostle, in his celebrat ed epistle to the Aborigines; ‘Root little pig or die!’ “Feller citizens—The times is critical— blood’s gwine to be poured out like soap-suds outen a wash-tub, and every man what’s got a soul as big as the white of a niggers eye, ’ll be ready to fight, bleed and die for his coun try ! Them’s the times! You want men in the council of the nation what you can depend on! i hat’s me! Elect me to Congress, or Governor of the State, and I’ll stick to you through thick and thin, like a lean tick to a nigger’s shin! 1 am not gwine to make an electioneerin’ speech. I’d scorn the act.— You know’ me; I've been fetched up among you. Already on the wings of a toploftical imagination, I fancy I see you marchin to the* polls in solid phalanx, and with a shout that makes the welkin ring, ‘ Whoorah for Hone V come down on my opponent like a thousand of brick to a rotten pumpkin.” “Feller citizens—l tell you now what I’m goin’ to do if I’m elected to Congress, and what I’m goin’ to have done if ejected Gov ernor of the State. If elected to Congress I’m gwine to vote for a law allowin’ them Northern fellers, men and wiimnin, what loves niggers so w r ell, to marry as many of ’em as they want, and are able to pay for. I’m op posed mentally and morally, constitutionally conscientiously, to extending slavery in any shape, manner or form, under any circumstan ces whatever, further North than the pint of the hub what the axle-tree of the North pole turns on, or further South than the 901 h deg. of South latitude. I’m gwine to vote for an nexing to the United States Cuba and Cana da—all the territory north of 49, and all South of 48—GO, to the southern extremity of of South America, together with Great Brit tain and her possessions, and Europe, Asia and Africa. I’m in favor of buildin’ a rail road and ship canal from the village of St. Louis situated, as the most of you are aware, in this State in the vicinity of Alton, in Illinois, to San Francisco, by cuttin’ a tunnil plum through the bowels of the earth, straight as a die. I’m gwine to vote for a bill givin’ O’- Reily the privilege of bildin’a telegraph line to the Moon, and grantin’ him the exclusive monopoly of the same for ten years, with the exception of 100 shares each which Old Zac and the man in the Moon shall be allowed to take. As we’re gettia’ crowded for room, I shall go forlettin’ down the falls of Niagara a button hole or two, for the purpose of drainin’ the lakes and rnakin’ ’em fit to live in, so that our cramped population which now almost a mounts to 3 1-2 on an average in eacli town ship, can have elbow room. I’m in favor of passin’ a bill votin’ the Mississippi and Mis souri rivers nuisances, dangerous to life and property, from the immense number of acci dents that’s constantly happenin’ on ’em and to have ’em filled up immediately, with all their branches, except Salt River, the navigation of which I’m in favor of leaving unobstructed for the benefits of defeated politicians. I’m gwine to vote for a bill grantin’ premiums for encouragin’ the growth of hemp as from pres ent appearances there’ll soon be a great de mand for that article by the government of the United States, for the benefit of nnmerons individuals, both in public and private life, who are plotting treason against the Union. I tell you what it is boys I know Old Zack, and it would just do him good to swing up a few thousand of them traitors, abought as high as the feller what Seripter tells about.— And I tell you now, I’m gwine to vote as strong as pizen for movin’ the Seat of Gov ernment of the United States from Washing ton to our own quiet and venerable Vide Poche. “If I elected Governor, I’m gwine to have the walls of the Penitentiary and the county prisons levelled with the ground, and all laws for confinin’ men in the same, for crimes and misdemeanors, repealed, as the trouble of re prievin’ convicted criminals is a great and un necessary tax on the time of the Governor, that might be much more agreeably employed in playin’ brag and poker, and in loungin’ a bout the bar-rooms and street corners talkin’ politics. “I'm gwine to have the seat of government of the State moved from Jefferson City, either to Nigger Heel or Pin Hook, or else to the mouth of the Bee Gum Fork or Shave Tail.— I’m gwine to have a law passed to keep milk trom turnin’ sour in thunder storms, and to keep wimmin from standin’ on their heads at camp meetins. And I’m gwine to have an other one passed to cause hickories to peel all the year round and another one, still, for the exsulsion trom our borders of prairie wolves and abolitionist, the extermination of prairie flies and galinippers, and annihilation of fleas, bed bugs and muskeeters. “Them’s my sentiments! Three cheers for Hone ! There, that’ll do. Come now let’s liquor.” The following good story is from the Lite- ; rary World. Iwo English tourists having arrived at : Boston during the snow season, ordered a sleigh, having heard of such a thing, in a gen- ‘ eral way, without being conversant with the ; particulars of it. * “Will you have one buffalo or too ?” asked the hostler. “Why, says the cockney, looking a little frightened, “We’ll have one the first time, as we’re not used to driving than !” “Tea and Coffee Pie,'’ said Mrs. Parting ton, looking over Gibb’s bill of fare; “Tea and Coffee Pie ! I wonder what in natur, that is ; but Boston folks are so full or no tions. Mr. Paul once had an indication to dine with Governor Brooks; and when he came home I asked him all about what he had that was good, and he said that they had three kinds of pie—pumpkin pie, apple pie, and cheese! Dear soul, he got sick arter it, and the doctor told him he must regulate his astronymical habit, or he would die of a per plexity.” The rememberance awakened feel ings that had long slumbered, and a tear fell from her eye, upon the box she held in her hand, putting out one of the eyes of Hope, that was weighing anchor, on the cover. CUTTING WHEAT Ac We invite the attention of our Planting readers to the following suggestions furnished i at our request, by a gentleman of much expe- I rience in his vocation, and who is here regard- i ed, where he is well known, as one of the ; best practical Farmers in Georgia,—one too, whose farm abundantly testifies to his sound judgement and good management in all that pertains to neat and skillful husbandry. We desire especially to induce a careful conside ration of hi: suggestions at thL time, upon a subject of great importance, as they are em inently appropriate and seasonable: [Ed. Cronicle and Sentinel. From the Chronicle and Sentinel. Mr. Editor:—You ask some remarks on this J subject, and as the period is at hand for har- , vesting, I may’ say something that will inter est those engaged in its “culture. A veriety of opinion exists in regard to the proper time for cutting, and not having very much experience, I feel some diffidence in of fering a guide to others, but incline to the belie that this grain is left with us in the South, hitherto, to ripen too much, for the reason, that hogs might be turned upon the stubble to collect the shattered grain, &c.; but as we now have fine mills and a ready market at re munerating prices, it is fair to presume that self-interest will prompt a correction of this error. A second reason, which should have a like influence, is the fact, that the straw j when secured early and bright is doubly pal atable and nutritious for cattle, especially if sprinkled with salt when housed. Another consideration is, that vour barn I will contain nearly fifty per cent more, trom | the moisture produced in sweating and set i tling from the use of salt, and you will be 1 spared the necessity of giving it separate ly. In “Shocking” this grain, a little more care would amply repay the farmer; as many, from the lack of barns, are obliged to allow to remain in the fields, subject to all kinds of weather, until leisure from other crops per mits them to thresh it. 1 would prefer shocks of a sugar-loaf form, not more than six or seven feet high,so that the two ‘Cap-sheaves,’ which should be large, may be well secured from the wind. In regard to the variety best suited to our climate, I may be permitted to say, that one trial of the Northern seed (obtained from the most successful cultivator near Rochester.) has satisfied me that our own white wheat is far the best, being more than a month earlier, and consequently’ less liable to disaster for that period. Another reason, seed from the North abounds in cockle, onion, charlock, and other weeds, the result of sowing upon a clover ley, where perennial weeds cannot ea sily be extirpated. Wheat following corn, or any other crop cultivated clean, is necessari ly’ free from all foul weeds. One other* rea son—our wheat comes off the last of May', and affords ample time to sow Cow Peas broad-cast, by the last of June, the most de sirable time; and from experience for near twenty years with Perse, I would urge upon all who have not made trial of this course, to apply Gypsum (one bushel to the acre) any time after the peas are up: plough in this crop as late as possible before frost; sow wheat and harrow in, and you may rely upon a good yield. Much I know, has been said to encourage the general growth of this crop —to those who have tried it, it may he super fluous—to those who have not, 1 can safely say that it is the cheapest renovator of old fields that can be adopted, and being with- I in the reach of all, may be used to any cx | tent.

Dr. deGBAFFENKIED’S CELEBRATED RHEUMATIC LINIMENT. I I.v introducing this medicine to the people of the l nit : ed States,, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit the following statement of Dr. de Graffenried, its discov erer and inventor: The undersigned frankly states that he has pre°cribed this medicine for the last t weutv-two years, in all forms of Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, with a success un paralleled in the annals of medicine : and he has no hes itation in saying,, that it is decidedly the most valuable j remedy ever vet discovered for the relief of this most pain ’ fill and distressing malady. Hu note-book contains upwards of three hundred ca- I res. in which it has been u.-ed withiu the above named period, and in no single instance has it come to his knowl i edge, of its having failed to effect a cure when persereved | in. M any of the ca 3 es were from four to ten years stand ing ; and what may appear yet more remarkable and ex traordinary. is. that when the patient has been once re lieved, the disease is permanently cured, remains so, not a solitary instance having been reported to him of itsre ! turn. All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impar tial and patient trial, for the results he entertains no ap prehension. Up to the time ot this discovery’, the undersigned had well studied the origin. progress, and character of this dis ease,and is well assured, had consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or been translated into : the English language, and had used all the remedies of any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu | manitv. It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and of every other I country. But the undersigned flatters himself that hiss remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all oth ers have failed, and that he shall have been an humble in : strument In the hands of God, of relieving the human | family of a vast amount of suffering. !

CETIFICATES. .Tone's Hotel, Philadelphia, March 3d 1850 Col. A. B. Ragan —Sir It affords me great pleasure to be able to hear testimony to the efficacy and virtues ot Dr. de Graffenrieds Rheumatic Liniment. I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with, what I believed to be, and what eminent Physicians of this city pronounced, Rheumatic gout,for several winters past I have been confined to my room and bed nearly all the time. In January last. I had an attack as violent if not more so than usual, which prostrated me for about ; tlree weeks; on your receommer.dation I commenced I the use of this Liniment. (With I must confess but little faith). It? effects were astonishing and decidedly bene ficial from its first application. In a few days my back, wrists ancles were entirely relieved (and so contin ue) of all soreness, pains, and the swelling’s reduced, with the use of less than one bottle. I have been in the discharge of my ordinary business ever since. 1 consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most efficacious remedy for this disease which I have ever met with. And most cheerfully recommend its use to all who may be afflicted with it. Respectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGES. Jones, Hotel. Baltimore March, 30 1850. Dr. de Graffenried — Dear Sir ; For the last twelve years I have sufle:cd very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to my bed by it. I have had the best medical aid to be found in various cities in the United States, with little or no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly recommended remedies, which have failed to effect a cure. I spent the last summer at the White Sulphur and Hot Spring? in VirginN. to little purpose. After my return home. 1 so far recovered, as to be able to walk about a lit tle. About six weeks since. I had a very severe attack which again confined me to my bed, I was in great pain andscarely able to move my limbs, when a friend of mine called and informed me that you had discovered an infallible remedy, and had cured many, ar.d amongst them, one of my friends, and showed me a letter from : him stating the fact. 1 was induced to try your Rhcu -1 matic Linament, and take pleasure in infomiinig you that ! in less than twenty four hours from the first application ! I was perfectly free from pain, and continue so, up to | this time. lam now able to attend to business, and fondly hope all those afflicted, as I have been, may he as speedily relieved, a? I have been with your medeeine.— Wishing you all the Blessings you deserve Dear Sir. Your Greateful and Ob’t Serv’t GEO. WARDSWORTH. Columbus Ga.. Oct. 20, 1849 Dr. Do Graffenried—Dear Sir : I take pleasure in giv ing you the particulars of my affliction by. and relicffroin j Rheumatism. During the spring of 1844 I was afflicted with a very severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism. 1 employed all the most celebrated remedies then known and used in similar cares, aided by medical advice, until September, 1845, with no satisfactory result whatever. I was then induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try your Liniment, as something new, and which had cured him ; and in one month, from the time I commenced the application, I was well , arid clear of the Rheumatism as 1 ever was, and have continued so to this time. Yours, truly, L. C. MORTON. FROM COL. A. K. AYER. Dr. E. L. do Graffenried—Learning that you are about to manufacture for the public, your valuable Rheumatic i Liniment, I take pleasure in stating that I believe it one of the most valuable remedies ever used for that common and most distressing disease, having witnessed its effects upon a negro man of mine, who had been af flicted for four years, until almost every joint was en larged, and the body otherwise emaciated. By the use of four or five bottles, in three weeks lie was relieved en tirely from pain. Columbus Ga., —Oct. 24,1849. A. K. AYER. Columbus, October 30, 1849. Dear Sir—About the first of April last, I came to Co lumbus to get medical assistance, and was advised to call on you, as having a reme ly that would afford me speedy relief. I was taken down in January last, with a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints 1 so badly, that I could not pull of my shoes without aid ; ! nor could I ascend or descend steps-, or pull off my j clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand were nearly useless ; the fingers contracted and swollen; the right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not bend it but very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all fife time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your Rheu- 1 j matic Liniment my limbs three times, ar.d was the next ! morning enabled to de-cend a long fight of steps, with- ! | out aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—l could | also bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which the previous day, 1 could not have done if iny life had de j pended on it. 1 could also rue. open and bend my sing ! ers, wich was an imbossihility the day before. I rose in i the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheu ; matic Liniment, and in fen days, I was relieved. I would riot have been in the condition which I had been, | I ten days before I called on you, for any amout of money ‘ j which could be given me : for what is life worth when jin constant pain and misery ! I consider your Rheumat ic Liniment, the most valuable medicine in the world. I am, dear sir, vour friend. J. 11. SMITH. Columbus. Nov. 1. 1849. Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a 1 stilff neck from a painful Rheumatic, affection, for six or ! i seven years, and could not turn her neck except with the : ; body. I was induced to purchase a bottle of your Lin ! iment, which was applied in August or September of 1818. One bottle entirely relieved her and she now has the use of her neck as well as ever she had ; arid up to this time, it has not returned. GARLAND B. TERRY. Philadelphia, Feb. 1 1850. Dr. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: Having been afflicted, for some time past, with a severe attack of Rheumatism, arid having heard of the wonderful effects of yourßheu , matic Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle of it; and j after three days, I was so much relieved as to be able to ; leave the house and attend to business. I have perfect ly recovered from the disease, and would cheerfully re commend the Liniment to oil those who are afflicted, GEORGE HOOD, 27 Powell street. Columhus Ga., Oct. 13,1849. Dr. E. L dc Graffenried—Dear Sir : Agreeable to your request, 1 give inv testimonial as to tne virtue of your Liniment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being at : iacked in one joint ofiny finger, last winter, with acute ’ Rheumatism, and haying used many of the unnumbered ! prescriptions for its cure, with but little benefit, I made j application of two bottles of your Liniment, which I am ! happy to say relieved me in a very short time. I can re j commend its use to all persons affected in like manner. Very respectfully, F. S CHAPMAN. I can testify to the efficacy of Dr. de Graflenried’s Rheumatic Liniment in the case of Mr. F. S. Chapman, as it came under my immediate observation. October 13, 1849. R. A. WARE, M. D. Dear Sir—Some time in Jauary last, Mrs. McKee j was taken very ill with Inflammatory Rheumatism in her ; shoulder joints, extending to her elbow joint and arm, which disabled her from using her arm almost en tirely ; and from the pain, want of sleep) and great rest lessness, for not less than six weeks, 1 was iuduced by my friend, Mr. Luke Reed, to call on you for a bot tle of your Liniment, and by using hall the bottle, she was entirely relieved, and trie relief was manifest or sen sible after three or four rubbings. lam ot opinion, it is one of the most valuable remedies that hasever been dis- i covered, for Rheumatism: that is, from my own knowl- i edge, and that which I have heard from others. Dr. E. L. dc Graficnried. H. C. McKEE. Columbus, Oct. 19th 1849 Dr de Graffenned —Dear Sir : Itake pleasure in sav ing, I have a boy who was so badly afflicted with Rheu matism, that he could not raise his hand to his head, and had nearly lost the u: eof his arm. I used the fourth of a bottle of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved him entirely. I consider it a most valuable remedy for the cure of Rheumatism RANDOLPH L-. .MOTT Memphis Institute.

Tlie Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth and professional acquirements, will compare favorably with the most distinguished in our country. The medi- . cal faculty constitutes an anomaly in this or any other country—all of them are able lecturers and the best of teachers. Those who contemplate our geographical position, and the extent of our population, can have no doubt as to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprise of the kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year, we deny that any other city has more. A common error exists in the minds of many students relative to tlie place of studying medicines; those who intend practicing among the diseases of the West and South should certainly educate themselves at a school whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those diseases. That the public may * c satisfied of the permanency of this school, we feel it* our duty to state, that the Trus tees and Faculty form a unit in ac tion, which augurs well l'orits future success ; and that the peculiar internal organization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.
