Remember thee!
When the dim morning from her sleep awakes,
And the full sun in cloudless beauty breaks,
Gemming with diamond drops the dewy leaves,
And bathing in rich gold the sighing trees,
Whose waving boughs, all inoist with dew and light.
Blend into one the joys of day and night:
Then, as each changing softness of the morn and tree
One beauty forms—We will Remember Thee!
Remember Thee!
When the gay-winged bird fleets lightly on,
Breathing her thrilling joys, in gushing song
Os sweetly changing notes, now wild and glad,
Now melting in sweet pathos low, to music sad—
Then each mournful cadence of her song will be
A sweet—tlio’ sad—Rt memb’rancc of Thee !
Remember Thee!
Oh ! Sakaii ! in thy gentle sleep, thou’lt never know
The mighty anguish—nor the wild deep woe,
Os hearts that live to feel —and wildly weep
O’er mem’ries dark, that will not —cannot sleep :
Shrouding the living heart iu woful gloom,
Till like its grief becomes a tenant of the tomb :
Oh! thou wouldst weep, if from thy dreamless
sleep couldst see
The grief of breaking hearts—Reniemb'ring Thee !
Remember Thee!
In the dim waste of years, whose ceaseless tide
Wafts balm to broken hearts— while youth and pride,
In all its warm freshness, and its suit young light,
Is shrouded in the gloom of life’s bleak night:
Then in each changing tone of earth’s dark sea
We’ll mourn a beauty gone —Wo wilt Remember
Thee!

A CHINAMAN’S HALL.
Singapore, February 21st, 1852.
Kim Sing, a merchant well-known as an
Antonio on the Rialto of Singapore, con
ceived a few weeks ago the intrepid design
of giving the first Chinese ball ever beheld iu
this part of the world. Having recently
erected a spacious Godowti, or suite of
chambers and warehouses, he resolved to
convert one of these into a magnificent ban
queting-hall and dancing-room. Europeans
probably aided him in organizing the prelimi
naries of the entertainment, in selecting the
musicians, and in the judicious provision of
refreshments for his guests. Numerous invi
tations were issued to gentlemen and ladies
of all tribes and tongues, who were request
ed to he present in their respective costumes
on the appointed evening at the Godown of
Kim Sing. A detail of the ethnological dis
play made at this party might be taken for a
had joke, hut I am perfectly serious and de
liberate in stating generally that the company
included Englishmen, Frenchmen, Dutchmen,
Scotchmen, Irishmen, Germans, Portuguese
from Malacca, Spaniards from the Philippines,
Malays, Ivlings, Bombayises, Cambodians,
Tonquinese, Mandarins from Cochin China,
Siamese, Peguans, Arabs, Javanese, Jews,
Parsees, Chinese, and half-castes.
I considered myself extremely fortunate to
have arrived just in time to he present at this
entertainment, i had of course about me (as
every body else had) the usual prejudices of j
my own race, and therefore, on being pre- i
sented to llie master of the house, with his
pig-tail, sharp features, and Mongolian eyes,
it was with much difficulty that I kept mv
mirth under polite restraint. 1 had been in
troduced under the best possible auspices, anil
soon felt myself quite at home, both with the
Celestial and the terrestrial visitors. The
ladie3 of the company being in a decided
minority, each having about two gentlemen
to her fair share, I, being quite a stranger,
■began to apprehend a paucity of partners, i
was mistaken: a young lady of Dutch de
scent, hut dark iu complexion as a Malay, I
.soon found herself, I know not how, my vis
a-vis, and away we went, whirling and pirou
etting down the apartment, to the great
amazement of the Asiatic neophytes. I must
pause here to observe, by way of parenthesis,
that the ball-room was not smaller than the
body of a good-sized English church, with a
row of pillars on each side under the galleries,
behind which the spectators thronged. Next
after us followed a Jew, in the costume of
Bengal, with a delicate young damsel fresh
from England. Then came a fire-worship
per, with a Parisian belle, and then a multi
tude of unimaginable combinations, until the
floor was crowded with dancers glancing
hither and thither beneath the glitter of the
splendid chandeliers. ::
The harmony of dance arid music was,
however, presently disturbed by an uncivil
Frenchman, (a rare creature,) who, suddenly
discovering that he had lost his partner, plun
ged about the room iu search of her, and
found her actively pointing her toes at a
young English lieutenant of gigantic stature.
Jacques Bonhomme, being small, had some
trouble to strike his rival in the lace; the ri
val, with much courtesy, requested him to
walk down-stairs, and promised a sufficient
explanation when the dance was over.
Jacques remained up-stairs, wandering about
the room like a wolf iu a cage. A duel im
pended, and the Asiatics very much enjoyed
the prospect of this unexpected addition to
their evening’s entertainment. Somebody,
however, procured the intervention ot police,
and in a corner of the ball-room there took
place the episode of arrest, bail, and those
other details preliminary to civil action
against Jacques Bonhomme for assault and
battery.
Having shared several dances with mv
young Asiatic Netherlander, I next found
invself opposite a Spanish lady, from Manilla,
who smoked between the figures, and spoke
very bad English. This, however, she de
clared to me was her favorite language,
though she knew both Malay and French,
I was therefore hound, in politeness, to con
ceal my ignorance as to the import of about
two words in every three with which she
favored me.
The cluster of faces peering out from be
tween the pillars was now and then lighted
up with laughter, as odd groups of dancers
whirled past; even the dancers themselves
.often found it impossible to preserve their
gravity. Some little awkwardness, moreover,
was occasionally displayed by the strangely
united couples. For example, a young lady
from Calcutta, dressed after the most elabor
ate fashion of the city of palaces, got fear
fully entangled iu a Schottische with a Chi
nese Mandarin, whose large, jet black tail
descended considerably below- his waist. As
he hopped and frisked, the tail flew- about in
the most dangerous manner. No doubt
could be entertained, however, that the gen
tleman had been taking lessons for a fortnight
or three weeks, because he really went
through tho business of the dance very re-
spectably. At length, however, as ill-luck
would have it, one of his red slippers came
off. A hurst of laughter, which it was im
possible to restrain, shook the fat sides of the
host at this disaster, while the unhappy Hovv-
Guim-Foo quitted his partner, and rushed,
with his long tail like a comet, to regain the
shoe—for to he shoeless is to be disgraced in
Celestial eyes.
At another time, and in another part of the
room, the tails of two of the Chinese, as they
passed one another, back to back, hooked to
gether : perhaps by the string which tied them
While the gentlemen hutted forward with
their heads, after the manner of rams, to
dissolve their involuntary partnership, then
chosen partners ran into each other’s arms,
and whirled on in the waltz without them.
Becoming by degrees a little tired, I slip
ped behind the pillars for rest. Here 1 ob
served neat little tables in trout ot luxurious
sofas, on which several Celestials reclined at
their full length, smoking opium. They ap
peared to he in a delicious state of dreami
ness, imagining themselves in the vicinity of
t ie Lake of Lilies, with orange and tea trees
blossoming around them. Near these were
two or three Hindoos, smoking the hookah;
iu their neighborhood a solitary Turk, who
bore in his countenance an expression of
infinite disdain for the infidels of all colors
whom he saw around him. As 1 had recently
come from his part of the world, I accosted
him at once- Great was his delight, when he
heard a greeting in the language of Stamboul.
The wholeeconomy of his features immediate
ly underwent a complete change. He would
gladly have prolonged our conversation until
morning, had I not been reminded of an en
gagement to waltz with a houri from Manilla.
To describe filly the supper which followed,
I ought to have studied for three years under
some Parisian gastronome. It was a chaos
of dainties, each more tempting than the oth
er. All the fruits of the Indian Archipelago,
of India, China and the West—some in their
natural state, others exquisitely preserved—
were piled around us. There were birds’
nests soups, puppy ragouts, pillaus of kanga
roos’ tails, fish of all kinds, and pastry in pro
fusion. And then for the wines—-all the
wines that France, Germany and Hungary
could produce, sparkled on the hoard, and
the most anxious ttare was taken that every
one should he supplied with what ho most
desired. While we were regaling ourselves,
delicious strains of music, issuing from 1 know
not where, stole into the apartment. This I
thought much better than a noisy band, de
stroying or bewildering one’s appetite, from a
gallery immediately over-head. In this case,
the music seemed to form part of the flavor
of the fruits and wines, so finely did it steal
into the air. Two or three songs, sung by
female singers from Italy, forcibly carried me
back by association to old happy days in Eu
rope. By way of variety, we had a little
Asiatic music also, which several of the Eu
ropeans present thought themselves compell
ed, by the laws of taste, to pronounce detes
table. I differed from them greatly. Though
inartificial, it seemed to me full of sweetness,
and strikingly characteristic of wild, fierce,
and impassioned races. Not, however, being
a connoisseur iu these matters, I may of
course be wrong. Besides, I judged (after
such a supper) in a spirit of extreme good
humor towards all the world.
It was between two and three o'clock in
the morning when we separated; and as i
had to take a ride of three or four miles into
the country before going to bed, I felt so re
freshed by the cool night air, that on reach
ing home, 1 lay down to rest as tranquilly as
a child might, after no more fatiguing plea
sure than a frolic in the garden.
A FAT WOMAN IN TROUBLE AT SEA.
A corpulent lady, on her way so Califor
nia, writes back to one of her acquaintances
her experience in travelling. Here is an ex
tract :
“Our cabin has two boxes in it, called
berths, though coffins would be nearer the
thing, for y ou think more of your hitter end
at sea a great deal. One of these is situated
over the other, like two shelves, And these
together make what they call a state-room.
My berth is the uppermost one, and I have
to climb up to it, putting one foot on the
lower one, and the other away out on the
wash stand, which is a great stretch, and
makes it very straining—then I lilt one knee
on the berth and roll into it sideways. This
is very inconvenient fora woman of my size,
and very dangerous. Last night I put my
foot Oil Mrs. Brown’s face, as she lay asleep
close to the edge of the lower one, and near
ly put out her eye; and I have torn all the
skin oft’ my knees, and then 1 have a large
black spot where I have been hurt, and my
head is swelled. To dismount is another
feat of horsemanship, only fit for a sailor.
You can’t sit up, for the floor overhead ; so
you have to turn round and roll your legs out
first, and then hold on tiil you touch bottom
somewhere, and then let yourself down up
right.
“It is a dreadful work ; I don’t know which
is the hardest, to get in or out of a berth—
both are the most difficult things in the world,
and I shall be glad when 1 am done with it
l am obliged to dress in bed before 1 leave it,
and nobody who hasn’t tried to put on their
clothes lying down can tell what a task it is.
Lacing stays behind your back, and you on
your face, nearly smothered with the bed
clothes, and feeling for the eyelet-hole with
one hand, and trying to put the tag in with
the other, while you are rolling about from
side to side, is-no laughing matter. Yester
day I fastened on the pillows to my bustle by
mistake, in the hurry, and never knew it till
the people laughed, and said the sea agreed
with me, I had grown so fat. But putting on
: stockings is the worst, for there ain’t room to
J stoop forward, so you have to bring your
j foot to you, and stretching out on your back,
i lift up your Jeg till you can reach it, and then
I drag it on. Corpulent people can’t always
do this so easy, I can tell you. It always
j gives me the cramp, and takes away my
! breath. You would pit vme if you could con
: ceive, but you can't—nobody but a woman
I can tell what a woman suffers in a berth
at sea.”
CO” A Western Lothario thus “pours out
his soul in song” to the mistress of his affec
tions. It isn’t every day one comes across
such heart-rending and pathetic “verses.”
Methought my heart a-roasting lay
On Cupid's kitchen-spit;
Methought he stole thy heart away
And stuck it next to it!
Methought my heart began to melt,
And thine to fat and gravy run,
Till both a glow congenial felt.
And melted into one !
Then melted into grease we spread,
All into gravy ran,
And Cupid ate us both with bread
Sapped up within the pan!

Dobbs w-as locked out the other night during
“that rain.”

lady who had a hotch for dinner. After the
doctor had tasted it, she asked him it it. was
good ? It is good for hogs, ma’am, said the
doctor. Then, pray, said the lady, let me
help you to a little more.
05” The cause of ladies’ teeth decaying at
so much earlier a stage ot life than those of
the other sex, has been universally attributed
to the friction which is produced by the con
stant action of the tongue. It has, however,
been suggested, with more gallantry, and per
haps with equal truth, that it is owing to the
sweetness of tlieir lips, as it is admitted tiiat
sweet things spoil the teeth.
05” Author and Critic.— “ Sir,” said an
enraged author to a critic, “I beg you will
never speak of me, either good or had.”
“One-half of your request will cost me no
trouble to comply with.”
O’ On Lake Champlain they troll for
pickerel with a piece of silver, shaped like
the howl of a spoon, to which hooks are at

O’ “My son,” said an affectionate mother
to her son, (who resided at a distance, and
intended in a short time to get married,) “you
are very thin.” “Yes, mother,” lie replied,
“I am ; and when you see me next, I think
you may see my rib.”
05” It is said that umbrellas are made in
the shape of mushrooms “because they al
ways come up in a shower.” Now we
should like to purchase an umbrella, which
would always come up in a shower. We
did own a number which won’t “turn up,”
even in dry weather.
05” Scene in Court.— Not long since
one of the learned counsel in a small suit
deemed it necessary to shake the testimony
of a Mr. Samuel Butterworth by impugning
liis veracity. A witness was called to the
stand.
“Do vou know Samuel Butterworth ?’’
“Yes.”
“What is Butterworth ?”
“Two and tenpence a pound, although
some folks have paid as high as three shil
lings.”
05” Strange Acts ok Editors.— We
are frequently much astonished at the con
duct of our brethren of the press. They do
most “onaccountable” things. One ot them
recently made the following unprecedented
announcement: “We respectfully decline
‘A Young Maiden’s Kiss.’” The fellow was
crazy, without doubt. Another is positively
inhuman. Hear him: “ ‘My Dying Mother’
cannot be admitted.” We suppress his
name out of regard to the profession. A
third makes the following startling announce
ment: “The ‘Golden Bible’ is rejected. ’
A fourth, to end this strange catalogue, says,
iu his last issue : “ ‘Mrs. Mullowney’s Christ
mas Pudding’ shall go in next week !” We
admire his taste. May good digestion wait
on appetite!
IT Why is a pig’s tail like a carving

obseived that in New England a man might

judge. “Avery natural transition,” whisper

O Remus told a friend who was always
taking quack medicines that he resembled
the capital of Turkey. Why ? Because

poet passes into a grasshopper, because it

05” We heard of a polite Frenchman one
time, who carried his ideas of gallantry to so
high a pitch of sublimity, as io run round to
the other side of a lady from where her shad

O There was a man so anxious to make a
“noise in the world,” that lie left orders when
he died, to have his skin tanned and made
into a drum.
05” Cuke for Love. —Several years ago,
when Mrs. Rogers, the actress, was young
and handsome, Lord North, remarkable for
his very handsome face, accosted her one
night behind the scenes, and asked her with
a sigh—“ What was a cure for love ?”
“Your Lordship,” responded she, “the best
l know of in the world.”
05” A handsome girl stepped into a store
where a spruce young man who had long
been enamored, but dared not speak, stood
behind the counter selling goods. In order
to remain as long as possible, she cheapened
everything, and at last she said—
“l believe you think I’m cheating 3’ou.”
“Oh, no,” said the youngster, “to me you
are always lair.”
“Well,” whispered the young lady, blush
ing as she laid a slight emphasis on the word,
“i would not stay so long bargaining if you
were not so dear.”
05” Error is the cause of man’s misery,
the corrupt principle that has produced evil
in the world; ’tis this which begets and
cherishes in our souls all the evils that afflict

happiness but by a serious endeavor to
avoid it.
05” By examining the tongue of the pa
tient, physicians find out the disease of the
body, and philosophers of the mind.
O” Do you know the lawyer’s story 1

05” A clever female French writer says,
women should not sit beside the man the3 T

expression.
O’ What are the aims which are at the
same time duties in life? The perfecting of
ourselves, and the happiness of others.
05” To kiss a rosy cheeked girl and fil'd
3’our mouth filled with Venetian Red, and

DR. de GRAFFENRIED-S
CELEBRATED
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT,
IN introducing this medicine to the people of the Uni
ted States, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to sub
mit the following statement of Dr. deGraffenried, its
discoverer and inventor:
The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed
this medicine for the last twenty-two years, in all forms
of Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, with a success un
paralleled in the annals of medicine; and he has no
hesitation in saying, that it is decidedly the most valua
ble remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most
painful and distressing malady.
His note-book contains upwards of three hundred
cases, in which it has been used within the above named
period, and in no single instance has it come to his
knowledge, of its having failed to effect a cure when
persevered in. Many of the cases were from lour to ten
years’ standing; and what may appear yet more re
markable and extraordinary, is, that when the patient
has been once relieved, the disease is permanently cured,
and remains so, not a solitary instance having been re
ported to him of its return.
All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impartial
and patient trial; for the results he entertains no appre
hension.
Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had
well studied the origin, progress and character of this
disease, and is well assured, had consulted every author
on its treatment, who had written or been translated in
to 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
manity.
It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent
Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and of every other
country. But the undersigned Hatters himself that his
remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all
others have failed, and that he shall have been an hum
ble instrument in tbe hands of God, of relieving the hu
man family of a vast amount of suffering.

Col. A. B. Ragan :
Dear Sir, —It affords me great pleasure to be able to
bear testimony to the efficacy and virtues of Dr. deGraf
fenried'B Rheumatic Liniment.
I have been sorely afflicted for tho last six years with
what I believed to be, and what eminent Physicians of
thiscity 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
three weeks. On your recommendation I commenced
the use ot this Liniment, (with, 1 must confess—but lit
tle faith.) Its effects were astonishing and decidedly
beneficial from its first application. In a few days my
back, wrists and ankles were entirely relieved (and so
continue) of al l soreness, pains, and the swelling reduced,
with the use of less than one bottle. I have been in the
discharge of my ordinary business ever since.
1 considerit an. extraordinary, and decidedly the. most
efficacious remedy for this disease which 1 have ever
met with. And most cheerfully recommend its use to
all who may be afflicted with it.
Respectfully, yours,
N. W. BRIDGES.

Dr. DeGkaffenried:
Dear Sir, —For the last twelve years I have suffered
very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly
one-fourth ofthe time confined to my bed by it. 1 have
had the best medical aid to be found in variou cities of
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 Springs in Virginia, to little
purpose. After my return home, Iso far recovered as to
be able to walk about a little. About six weeks since, I
had a very severe attack which again confined me to
my bed. I was in great pain and scarcely able to move
my limbs, when a friend of mine called ami inform
ed me that you had discovered an infallible remedy,
and had cured many, and amongst them, one of my
friends, and showed me a letter from him stating the fact.
1 was induced to try your Rheumatic Liniment, and take
pleasure in informing 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
ableto attend to business, and fondly hope all those af
flicted, as I have been, may be as speedily relieved as I
have been, with your medicine.
Wishing you all the blessing, you deserve, dear sir,
Your grateful and oh’t servant,
GEO. WARDSWORTH.

Dr. E. L. DeGkaffenried:
Dear Sir, —Feeling it to be my duty to inform you of
the effect produced by your Liniment, I embrace the op
portunity of so doing. It might not he amiss for me to
give you the particulars of my case. Some time ago I
was attacked by a severe pain in my joints, and never
having had the Rheumatism, I knew not what to attri
bute it to, but in a few days it terminated in the old
fashioned Rheumatism in its most aggravated form ; and
up to the time of procuring a bottle of your valuable
medicine, I had been under the care of a skillful physi
cian, but without deriving any benefit therefrom. Have
iug frequently heard of many astonishing cures produced
by your medicine, I resolved to tost its merits, and am
much gratified with the result. I had been kept awake
for nignts in succession with the most excruciating pain.
An application of the Liniment acted like a charm,
easing the pain almost instantly. 1 soon tell into a
quiet sleep, such as 1 had not enjoyed for sometime. 1
made but live applications and am now entirely well.
I will take great pleasure, 1 assure you, in recommend
ing a medicine that so well recommends itself.
Very respectfully, SA.ML. F. OSBORNE.
I can always be found at Davis Mulford’sstore, Broad
street, by any desiring further particulars. S. F. O.

Dr. E. L. DeGkaffenried:
Dear Sir, —In January, 1819,1 was violently attacked
with Inflammatory Rheumatism in my feet, and was
not able to turn myself in bed, for three weeks, without
help. I employed all the remedies then used in such
cases, aided by medical advice, until March, 1850, at
which time l was severely attacked again with acute
Rheumatism in the feet. I was-then ten or fifteen days
confined to my room under medical treatment with but
little benefit. 1 war at that time advised to try your
valuable Rheumatic Liniment,and I purchased a bottle ; i
and after close application for a week, the pain entirely
felt in; feet, and nave not had a return oi it up to the j
present time, I now take great pleasure in recommend- ,
ing it to all who arc afflicted with Rheumatism.

Dr. E. L. DeGraffenried:
Dear Sir, —Some time in June last, 1849, my servant
girl Maria, who cost nte about §I,OOO, was taken down j
with violent Inflammatory Rheumatism in her knee,
which was enormously swollen, so that she was per- \
fectly disabled, and had to have a hoop over the knee to
keep the bedclothes from resting on it. I had had the I
best medical attendance for her, for nearly two months, j
which this city afforded, without affording any relief. I
Mrs. Hunly was advised to use your Rheumatic Lini- i
ment, two bottlers of which resulted in a perfect cure in j
about fifteen days, and she has never hau a return of it j
since. I can confidently recommend it as a remedy
surpassing all others for this painful disease.
1 am, dear sir, truly, your obedient, servant,

Columbus, (Ga.,) June 28, 1851.
Dr. E. L. DeGraffenried:
During the winter of 1849 and’so, while laboring in I
the mines of California, I experienced an attack ol
Rheumatism in its most excruciating form. For several j
weeks, all the remedies that common experience or me
dical skill could suggest were made use of with no bene
ficial results; and in this situation I was compelled to !
abandon the mines and perform a painful journey to the ;
settlements, where, in some respects, I might be made
more comfortable. On arriving at San Francisco I met
a friend, who,fortunately, was in possession of a bottle j
of Liniment that had been sent to him from your labora- j
tory, and which he kindly proffered me. 1 need hardly j
say, that, from many years’ acquaintance with your in- !
t-.-grity and skill, 1 commenced using it with strong :
hopes; but I was not prepared for the almost magical
effects which followed. A single application assured -
me that confidence had not been misplaced ; and in three j
or four days, (using the Liniment according io direc
tions,) the’inflammation had entirely subsided, the pains
left me, and mv limbs were restored to their accustomed
freedom. For several monthssubsequently I was in the !
mountains, exposed to snows and rain, frequently sleep
ing on the ground, without feeling the slightest return of
the disease.
Permit me, dear sir, in conclusion, to express the hope, I
that you mav find it convenient to send a large quantity
ofyour medicine to that distant portion of our country,
where Rheumatism prevails to a great extent, and which,
in very many cases, all the ordinary remedies fail to ai
ieviate.
I am, very truly, yours, JNO. WARD.

Dr. E. L. DeGkaffenried:
Dear Sir, —Twelve months ago I was suddenly and
violently attacked with Rheumatism in one of my legs, i
which confined me to my bed for two weeks. After :
having tried every remedy 1 could hear of, without ob
taming am- relief, my pains daily increasing, I was ad
vised by Mr. Mott to try your Liniment. I bought one
pint bottle, and, to my astonishment, I received almost
immediate relief; and iu less than one week after the
first application, I could walk about without much pain,
and in ten days I felt entirely well. I have since ex
posed myself a great deal, and not having had a return ;
of the disease, I feel that I can say with propriety I am j
entirely cured.
I take great pleasure in recommending your valuable j
Liniment to the public, particularly to those suffering
with Rheumatism, and would, also, advise those having
Neuralgia or pains of %ny kind to give it a trial.
Respectfully E. 11. MUSGROVE.

TH2I BRITISH PERIODICALS
AND THE
FARMER’S G U I D E.
LEONARD SCOTT & CO.,
No. 154 Gold street, New York,
CONTINUE to publish the four leading British
Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood’s Magazine;
in addition to which they have recently commenced the
publication of a valuable Agricultural work, called the
“FARMER’S GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND
PRACTICAL AGRICULTURE,”
By Henry Stephens, F. R. S., of Edinburgh, author ol
the “Book of the Farm.” &c. &c.; assisted by John
P. Norton, M. A., New Haven, Professor of Scientific
Agriculture in Yale College, &c., Mo
This highly valuable work will comprise two large
royal octavo volumes, containing over 1400 pages, with
18 or 20 splendid steel engraving.-, ‘ sl? r< ? than 600
engravings on wood,in the highest style ol the art; illus
trating almost every implement of husbandry now in use
by the best farmers, the best methods of plowing, plant
ing, haying, harvesting, Me. Me , the various domestic an
imals in their highest perfection ; in short, the pictorial
features of the book is unique, and will render it of in
calculable valuable to the student of agriculture.
The work is being published in Semi-monthly Num
bers, of 64 pages each, exclusive of the Steel engra
vings, and when not taken in connection with the Re
views or Blackwood, is sold at 25 cents each, or @5 tor
the entire work in numbers, ol which there will be at
least twenty-two.
The British Periodicals Re-published are as follows,
viz:
The London Quarterly Review. (Conservative),
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig),
The North British Review, (Free-Cnurc
The Westminster Review, (Liberal), and
Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine, (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the politi
cal shades above indicated,yet but a small portion of their
contents is devoted to political subjects. It is their lite
rary character which gives them their chief value, and in
that they stand confessedly far above all other journals
of their class. Blackwood,still underthe masterly gui
dance of Christopher North, maintains its ancient cele
brity, and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Bulwcr, and other literary notables, writ
ten for that magazine, and first appearing in its columns
both in Great Britain and in the United Slates. Such
works as “Caxtons” and “My New Novel,” (both by
Bulwer), “My peninsular Medal,” “The Green Hand.”
and other serials, of which numerous rival editions are
issued by the leading publishers in this country, have to
here-printed by those publishers from the pages of Blaek
woocf, after it has been issued by the Messrs. Scott M
Cos., so that subscribers to the reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest reading of these
fascinating tales.

For the Kemova! and permanent Cure of all
diseases arising from an Impure
State of the blood, or habit
of the system.
The value of this Medicine is now widely known,
and every day the field of its usefulness is extended
It is approved, and highly recommended by Physicians,
and admitted to be the most powerful and searching
preparation from the root, that has ever been employed
in medical practice. Its operation extends trrthe remo
test parts of the system, and consists in removing dis
eased action in the absorbing and secreting organs. In
man, Nature seldom effects, unassisted, the cure of any
virulent disease, but requires the aid of a stimulant, al
terative, or antiseptic medicine. In diseases of the skin
and flesh, a combination of these three classes of me
dicinal agents is highly desirable. All these properties
are combined in this preparation; and instead of op
erating successively upon the system, as they must nec
essarily do when taken separately,they operate simulta
neously and in perfect harmony when administered in
this form. Its tonic property strengthens the digestion,
and improves the appetite. Its alterative tendency car
ries oil the accumulations of morbid matter, and its an
tiseptic influence neutralizes the virus, by which the dis
ease is fostered. Its uniform success j„ curing and re
lieving the various diseases for which it is recommen
ded, is established by a multitude of attested facts.
Cure of Bronchitis or Ministers’ Sara
Throat.
Fair Haven, Mass., Aug. 22, 1850!
Messrs. Sands.—l regard it hut justice to yourselves,
and humanity to all similarly afflicted, to say that your
Sarsaparilla has cured me of the Chronic laryngitis.
It would he difficult for me to describe the alarming
condition of my throat and vocal organs previous to
the use of your invaluable remedy. During nearly
three years I was forced to desist front the public duficsf
of my profession ; and having made use of a great va
riety of professed specifics, besides submitting to more
than thirty extremely painful caustic applications, I had
abandoned all hope of relief, when, as a dernier resort,
I was led to the trial of your Sarsaparilla.
My disease wasol so long standing, and had so obsti
nately resisted the best medical skill, that 1 am conscious
it cannot truly bo said, my “laith hath saved me,” for I.
had none ; but I trust I feel in some appropriate degree
grateful for the favorable result above named. 1 have
now been able to attend to the duties of the pastorate
for more than a year, and having proved from actual
experiment the thoroughness of the cure, I could not
feel justified in longer withholding this statement.
I am accustomed to keep a,bottle of your Sarsaparilla
at hand, and whenever exposed to colds or extra labor,
still use it as a prerentire. Veiy gratefully yours,
S. C. BROWN, Pastor of Centre st..
M. E. Church.
From Hie Stoto of Maine.
The attention of the reader is called to the following
certificate of a remarkable cure effected by using only
five bottles of Sands’ Sarsaparilla.
Sidney. (Maine,) April 15, 1850.
.Messrs. A. B. & D. Sands :
Gentlemen—This is to certify that I have been af
flicted more or less ever since my birth, with scrofula,
which continued to increase until la, t February. In
January, my legs were so swollen I could not get on a
boot or a stocking, and 1 had several largo sores on my
all the time. In thus situation. I was about to give up
in despair, when I was advised to try Sands’ Sarsapa
rilla. 1 had not much faith in it, but I sent to your
agents in Augu-ta, Me, and procured a bottle, which
did me so much good, that I sent and got another, and
continued until I had taken five bottles. I am now per
fectly well. If any person who may read this letter is
afflicted with any disease of Scrofula I would most
sincerely recommend and advise them to make use of
Sands’Sarsaparilla. If any person wishes further in
formation about my case, by calling upon me, I can
convince them of the healing power of this medicine.
