Hiioirllaiuj. A Pattern Wife. There is a elas of persons never happy, unless engaged in tormenting themselves. The following dialogue from an English Journal, will not be with out interest, perhaps, in this country. Mrs. Bolingbroke. I wish I knew what was the matter with me this morning. “W by do you keep the paper all to yourself, my dear ? Mr. Bolingbroke. Here it is for you, my dear © I have finished it. Mrs. B. I humbly thank you for giving it to me when you have done with it I hate stale news. Is there anything in the paper? for I cannot be at the trouble of hunting for it. Mr. B. Yes my dear; there are the marriages of two of our friends. Mrs. B. Who ? who ? Mr. B. Your friend the widow Nettleby to her cousin John Nettleby. Mrs. B. Mrs. Nettleby ! Lord! but why do you tell me ? Mr. B. Because you asked me my dear ? Mrs. B. O, but it is a hundred times pleasanter to read the paragraph one’s self. One loses all the pleasure of the surprise by being told. Well, whose was the other marriage ? Mr. B. O, my dear, I will not tell you, I will leave you the pleasure of the surprise. Mrs. B. But you see, I cannot find it. How pro voking you are, my dear! Do pray tell it me. Mr. 13. Our friend, Mr. Ganby. Mrs.B. Mr. Ganby! Dear! Why did not you make me guess ? I should have guessed him di rectly. But why do you call him our friend ? I am sure he is no friend of mine, nor ever was. I took an aversion to him, as you may remember, the very first day I saw him. lam sure he is no friend of mine. Mr. B. lam sorry for it, my dear; but I hope you will go and see Mrs. Ganby. Mrs. B. Not I, indeed, my dear. Who was she ? Mr. B. Miss Cooke. Mrs. B. Cooke! But there are so many Cookes; can’t you distinguish her any way ? lias she no Christian name ? Mr. B. Emma, I think. Y es, Emma. Mrs. B. Emma Cooke! No; it cannot be my friend Emma Cooke; for lam sure she was cut out for an old maid. Mr. B. This lady seemed to me to be cut out for r good wife. Mrs. B. May beso —I am sure I’ll never go to see her. l‘ray, my dear, how came you to see so much of her ? Mr. B. I have seen very little of her, my dear, I only saw her two or three times before she was mar ried. Mr. B. Then, my dear, how could you decide that she was cut out for a good wife ? lam sure you could not judge of her by seeing her only two or three times, and before she was married. Mr. B. Indeed, my love, that is a very just ob servation. Mrs. B. I understand that compliment perfectly and thank you for it, my dear. I must own 1 can bear any thing better than irony. Mr. 13. Irony! my dear, 1 was perfectly in earn est. Mrs. B. Yes, yes; in earnest —so I perceive—l may naturally be dull of apprehension, but my feel ings are quick enough: I comprehend you too well. Yes; it is impossible to judge of a woman before marriage, or to guess what sort of a wife she will make. I presume you speak from experience; you have been disappointed yourself, and regrot your choice. Mr. 13. Mv dear, what did I say, that was like this ? Upon my word I meant no such thing. 1 really was not thinking of yon in the least. Mrs. B. No; you never think of me now. I can easily believe that you were not thinking of me in the least. Mr. B. But I said that only to prove to you that I could not be thinking ill of you, my dear. Mrs. B. But I would rather that you thought ill of me, than that you did not think of me at all. Mr. B. Well, my dear, I will even think ill of vou, if that will please you. Mrs. B. Do you laugh at me ? Y hen it comes to that, I am wretched. Never man laughed at the woman he loved. As long as you had the | slightest remains of love for me, you could not make me an object of derision; ridicule and love are in compatible, absolutely incompatible. Well, I have done my best, to make you happy, but in vain. I see lam not cut out to be a good wife. Happy, happy Mrs. Granby! Mr. B. Happy, I hope sincerely, that she will be with my friend ; but my happiness must depend on you, mv love : so, for my sake, if not for your own 4 be composed, and do not torment yourself with such fancies. Mr. B. I do wonder, whether this Mrs. Granby is really that Miss Emma Cooke. I’ll go and see her directly. See her I must. Mr. B. lam heartily glad of it, my dear, for I am sure, a visit to his wife will give my friend Granby j real pleasure. Mrs. B. I promise you, my dear, I do not go to give him pleasure or you either; but to satisfy my own — curiosity. From the Ohio Cultivator. “Is she a Lady 1” How often do we hear the question asked, Is she a lady ? I would ask in return, what are the requi sites of a lady ? Is she a lady, who dresses fashion ably and gaudily ? —who spends her time in idle ness, or worse than idleness, because she is to proud to work, while, perhaps, her father, husband or brother toil from morn till night for her support ? Is she who leaves her sick friend, —mother, perhaps —in the care of a hired nurse, to attend a party of pleasure or a ball ?—or, children in the care of a mere child 2 Too often, alas! are these things done ! by those who claim the title of lady. I was once asked in regard to a friend of whom I ! w T as speaking, Is she much of a lady ? I answered | yes, in every sense of the word. I then asked the j person what she meant by tlie term Lady. She an-; swered by asking if she did her own work ? Yes ; she sews, knits, and sometimes spins ; she goes with her husband (who is a minister) to visit the poor and sick ; she makes her husband’s clothes (except coats) entirely; she can make nice, good bread, can cook meat and vegetables almost to perfection, and make puddings, pies and cake; she can also con verse with you upon history, natural philosophy, as tronomy, botany, Ac., or the common events of the day ; and all in a very intelligent and lady-like man ner. A true lady will not think it beneath her, to do anything that duty or circumstances may require, low often do you hear it asked, is such or such an one a lady ? and the reply is, oh no! she’s but a farmer’s daughter, or wrife, as the case may be. I Lave known farmer’s daughters, on being sent to a boarding school, a few miles from home, become ashamed to say their parents were far mere; asham ed to own that they had ever milked a cow, washed the dishes, or baked bread. I once heard a mother say (a farmer’s wife, too) of her daughters, “I intend to raise in 9 daughters ladies; they shall not work and drudge about the kitchen, as I have done, ma king their hands as hard and rough as a wash-wo man’s. They would not look well at a fashionable party or a ball room, after cooking over the stove till their faces are as red as a man’s who works in the sun all day.” The notion of its being degrading (entertained by a certain class) for a lady to do the work of her own household, is fast passing away, and it is to be hoped, never to be revived. What a noble example of the true lady, in both theory and practice, had we in the much lamented editress of our department of the Cultivator. Long will she be remembered by many of us, into whose hearts she had penned her way. She was not ashamed to tell us, she did her own work. And where is her superior in refine ment and attainments ? Let us all strive, like her to be true ladies. Asa lady once said, in writing to her young sister, “ strive to be a lady in all you do, in all you say; in all your actions, be a lady,’’ whether it be in the kitchen or parlor, be a lady. Respectfully, V. W. Fairfield Cos., O.Juhj 1850. Where hast thou Gleaned To-day. BY M. G. SLEEPER. The clear, sweet harmony of the great choral hymn filled all the courts of heaven. The spirits went and came on their love-fraught errands, but when the voice of one died in the distance, other tones came from afar, and other angels joined the mighty choir. One of them was commissipned to our earth, but he sang on till the sun dipped below the wave, and the twilight glided past, scattering her manifold, soft shadows. As the stillness deepened, the commissioned one left his place in the heavenly band. More than once he paused in his flight. More and more slow ly he approached the earth, as if reluctant to com mence his task. “ Obedience,” lie murmured at length. 44 What if some reject my warning ? what if some scorn my reproof? Did not men hate my Master? and am I better than he ?” So with this one question of deep significance, he passed on. Noiseless, invisible, yet everywhere re cognized and understood, he found no obstacle to his viewless course. The barred cell of the crimi nal and the palaces of kings, and the consecrated temple, the throng and the solitude, were alike free to his footsteps. He entered the gorgeous mansion, and asked of its princely owner. “ Where has thou gleaned to day ?” The young man laughed lightly as he replied, 44 In the field of my own pleasure. Am I not master of myself ?” The angel bent over a little child, and whispered, 44 W here has thou gleaned to-day ?” and the child answered, 44 1 have been among the flowers. I made gar lands of the sweet-scented valley-lily, and the hon ey-suekle that the bee loves so well; and thanked the great Father that he made them grow and blos som. The angel entered the chamber of a maiden who sat looking out at the moonlight, and asked softly, 44 Where hast thou gleaned to-day ?” 44 Among the sick and sorrowing,” answered she, gladly; 44 tor our Saviour has said, 4 Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my j brethren, ye have done it unto me.’ ” The angel stood in the wilderness, and asked sternly of one hiding there gold and jewels, 44 Where hast thou gleaned to-day ?” The man answered with a frown, 44 In the field of theft; yet away with thy boding voice, threatening the vengeance of the Eternal! — Away! away!” The angel passed amidst the graves, and asked of a bereaved mother, “ Where has thou gleaned to-day ?” and the lone one answered, 44 In the field of prayer, and, behold! even now have I received a blessing. Already is my mourn ing turned to joy.” A scholar sat in a vast library amidst the gather ed lore of departed centuries. But the verse of the poet, and the wisdom of the sage were forgotten in the interest awakened by the volume of divine truth. The angel looked a moment on his damp brow and anxious eye, then gently whispered, 44 Where hast thou gleaned to-day ?” The scholar sighed deeply, and said, 44 In the field of endeavor, but alas, I cannot un- j derstand how man can be saved.” The scholar wept and prayed, and soon the book j glowed with light, and he exclaimed rapturously, 44 God has given his salvation, also unto me !” Quickly the swift pinions of the angel beat the air, and, rejoining the heavenly host, he proclaimed the glad tidings of the return of another soul. The countlesss multitude responded again, and yet again, and these were the words of the chorus, 44 Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, forever and ever.” Anecdote of Daniel Webster.—The Louisville Journal tcdls the following capital anecdote of Web ster, in a letter from Washington: The best piece of sport that has lately occurred here, is the great Dan’s. Nobody, indeed, unless sometimes Critten den, is brighter, more festive, than grand Dan, when J you get him into hilarious mood. He was in excel lent humor, not long since at a party at Secretary Ewing’s, and so. in sooth, were many others. Well, ! you remember the derisive name of 44 Solitude ” which Ewing got, in former days, by one of his speeches ; when the company was all in high glee, in the large saloon, Black Dan came slowly up to Ewing, where he stood, conspicuous to everybody, and addressed him most earnestly in these lines, which Cowper puts into the mouth of Alexander Selkirk— -44 Oh Solitude ! where are the charms, That sages have seen in thy face.” v 44 Susan, stand up and let me see what you have learned. What does c-h-a-i-r spell ?” 44 1 don’t know, inarm.” 44 Why you ignorant critter ? what do you always sit on?” 44 Oli, marm, I don’t like to tell.” 44 What on earth is the matter with the gal ? Toll what is it ?” 44 1 don’t like to tell it; it was Bill Cross’s knee, bits, lie never kissed me but j twice!” 44 Airtliquakes and apple-sarce!” oxclaim | ed the school mistress and she fainted. All Editor’s Retort. —At a late festival, a pret ty Miss waited on the editor with a pie-plate of an tique manufacture, in the centre of which lie espied I the following couplet; — “One sweet kiss, Is the price of this.” ; This excited his naturally amorous disposition, and as soon as an opportunity presented, he motioned the young lady to his side, and pointed with liis knife to the lines, said 44 Young lady, your pay is ready whenever you present your bill!” iC'-fT’ Irish politeness is pretty well touched off by an anecdote which we heard not long since. It seems an Irish gentleman was in company with a beautiful young lady, to whom he was paying his addresses; when on giving a shudder, she made use of the common expression, that 44 someone was walking over her grave.” The Irish lover, anxious for every opportunity of paying liis compliments to his mistress, exclaimed 44 By the powers, Madam, but I wish I was the happy man.” What a Stupid.—A spruce young buck was boasting of his success with the fair, and among other things declared that he might have sparked it with a lady whom he named. “ hy then,” said liis friend, “ did you neglect such a golden opportunity ?” u Because,’’ answered he, 44 she begged to be ex cused, and I was such a deuced fool that I excused ! her!” fIS iisilil IISIISIj Curious Epitaph. —The following curious in scription appears in a Churchyard, Pewsey, Dorset shire ; HERE LIES THE BODY OF Lady O’Loony, Great Niece of Burke, Commonly called the Sublime. She was Bland, passionate and deeply religious; Also, she painted in In water colors And sent several Pictures, To the Exhibition, She was first cousin To Lady Jones And of such Is the kingdom of heaven. A droll anecdote is told of the Nepaulese ambas sador, now in London. At Mr. Lumley’s grand fete lie asked to be introduced to Carlotta Grisi, with whose dancing he had been enchanted at the opera house. The lady was presented, and the prince made some remark, which, on being translated, was found to be, that “ lie did not know her with her clothes on!’’ The attention of a little girl being called to a rose busli, on w hose topmost stem the oldest rose was fa ding, but below and around which three beautiful crimson buds were just unfolding their charms, she artlessly exclaimed to her brother —“See, Millie, these little buds have just awaked to kiss their moth er before she dies.” Byron is said to have remarked that 44 the great est trial to a woman’s beauty, is the ungraceful act of eating eggs.” Some \ankee remarks that the poet could never have seen a lady hanging on by the teeth to a blazing corn-cob ! JCST The following unique toast was drank at a 4th of July celebration in South Carolina, by G. Kinard: 44 Peace and plenty : “ Corn in the crib and money in the pocket, Baby in the cradle and pretty wife to rock it; Coffee in the closet, and Sugar in the barrel, Silence round the fireside, andfolks that never quarrel.” Somebody says, that in spite of all the medical systems of the day, a sick minister, who has a rich congregation, can only be cured by a voyage to Eu rope. A curious fact in therapeutics. 44 1 stand upon the soil of freedom!’’ cried a stump orator. “No,” exclaimed his shoemaker, 44 you stand in a pair of boots that have never been paid for.” A Male Flirt. —A monster in cassimere—a wretch, in short, who trifles with the best affections of a young girl, and then heaves her aside, as he would a dead pink, or a faded flower that he bad ta ken the bloom off of. Mrs. Smith says such a man ought to be squeezed to death without the benefit of hollering. A gentleman meeting a very young and beautiful girl in the pump room at Bath, asked her, why she drank the waters ? 4 From mere wantonness , replied the young lady. 4 And prav, Madam,’ said he, 4 have they cured you ?” A Happy Temper.—An old Connecticut pastor, whose peculiarities for preaching were proverbial, and who was blessed with a temper ot great value, was one day told by a parishioner that he did not like his sermons. 44 Well,” said the old man, “I don’t wonder at it; I don’t like ’em myselt. ’ (T ljr lnui!jiiuT|JiT. Common Lemon Tartlets. Beat four eggs until they are exceedingly light, add to them gradually four ounces of sugar, and w hisk these together for five minutes ; strew lightly in, if it be at hand, a dessert-spoonful ot potato flour, if not, of common flour well dried and sifted ; then throw into the mixture, by slow degrees, three ounces of good butter, which should be dissolved, but only r just lukewarm ; beat the whole well, theu stir briskly in the strained juice and the grated rind of one lemon and a half. Line some pattypans with fine puff paste rolled very” thin, fill them two thirds full, and bake the tartlets about twenty min utes, in a moderate oven. Ratter Fruit Pudding. Butter thickly a basin wliieb holds a pint and a half, and till it nearly to the brim w ith <jood boiling apples, paired, cored and quartered; pour over them a batter made with four table-spoonsful of flour, two large or three small eggs, and half pint of milk. Tie a buttered and floured cloth over the ba sin, which ought to be quite full, and boiling the pud ding for an hour an a quarter. Turn it into a hot dish when done, and strew sugar thickly over it:. this, if added to the batter at first, renders it heavy. Morelia cherries make a very superior pudding of this kind ; and green gooseberries, damsons, and va rious other fruits, answer for it extremely well: the time of boiling it must be varied according to their quality and size. To mix Batter for Puddings. But the flour and salt into a bowl, and stir them together; whisk the eggs thoroughly, strain them through a fine hair sieve, and add them very yrad ually to the flour ; for if too much liquid be poured in at once, it will be full of lumps, and it is easy with care, to keep the batter perfectly smooth. Beat it well and lightly, with the back of a strong wood en spoon, and after the eggs are added, thin it with milk to a proper consistency. The whites of the eggs beaten separately into solid froth, and stirred gently into the mixture, the instant before it is tied up for boiling, or before it is put into the oven to be baked, will render it remarkably light. When fruit is added to the batter, it must be made thicker, than when it is served up plain, or it will sink to the bottom of the pudding. Batter should never stick to the knife when it sent to the table ; it w ill do this, both when a sufficient number of eggs are not mixed with it and it is not enough cooked. About four eggs to the half pound of flour w ill make it firm enough to cut smoothly. Corn Bread.—Readers never tire of recipes for some thing good to cat. Here arc two for corn bread worth try ing : Mix three pints of Indian meal in a quart of sour milk; add three eggs, a tea spoonful saleratus, and some salt; beat all to a smooth batter, and pour in pans half an inch deep, and bake quick. This is a sufficient breakfast for half a do zen . Here is one for family bread ;—Six quarts of water, one pint of lard, one pint of yeast, and a tea-cupful of salt, mix ed with meal enough to make a batter. Let it rise and then put in pans to bake. To Prepare Bees’ Wax.— To obtain wax, boil the combs in a strong muslin bag, in a saucepan, with water sufficient to keep the bag from burning; and whilst boiling, continue to press the bag with a wooden slice or spoon, to extract the whole, as you skim oft’the wax. Drop the wax into cold wa ter, where it will swim on the surface. The wax thus obtain ed will still want refining, to effect which, place it in a clean saucepan, and melt it over a slow fire. Then pour off the clear >vnx into proper vessels, and let it cool. To whiten it, make it in thin cakes, and expose it in the sun. Dr. de GRAFFENRIED’S CELEBRATED RHEUMATIC LINIMENT. IN’ iitroducing this medicine to the people of the United States, for r-ale, the proprietors beg leave to submit the following statement of Dr. de Graffenried, 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 Rheu matism, with a success unparalleled in the annals of of medicine; and he has no hesitation in saying, that it is decidedly the most valuable remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most painful and dis tressing 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 ;>ersevered in. Many of the cases were from four to ten years standing; and what may appear yet more remarkable and extra ordinary, is, that when the patient has been once relieved, the disease is permanently enrol, remains so, not a solitary instance having been reported 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 apprehension. 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 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 humanity. It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and of every other country. Hut the un dersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all others have failed, and that he shall have been an humble instrument in the hands of God, of relieving the human family of a vast amount of suffering. E. L. dc GRAFFENRIED, M. D. CERTIFICATES. FROM COL. A. K. AYER. Dr. E. L. de Graffenried —Learning that you are al>out to manufacture for the public, your valuable Rheumatic Lin iment, 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 ne gro man of mine, who had been afflicted for four years, un til almost every joint was enlarged, and the body otherwise emaciated, By the use of four or five bottles, in three weeks, he was relieved entirely 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 Colum bus to get medical assistance, and was advised to call on you as having a remedy that would afford me speedy relief. 1 was taken down in January last, with a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints, so badly, that I could not pull off my shoes without aid ; nor could I ascend or de scend steps, or pull off iny clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand were nearly useless ; the fingers con tracted 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 the time in suffering and pain ; 1 rubbed with your Rheumatic Liniment my limbs three times, and was the next morning enabled to descend a long flight ol steps, without 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 my life had de pended on it. 1 could also use, open and bend my fingers, which was an impossibility the day before. I rose in the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. 1 used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheumatic Liniment, and in ten days, I was relieved. I would not have been in the condition which I had been ten days before I called on you, for any amount of money that could be given me ; for what is life worth when in constant pain and misery ! I consider your Rheumatic Liniment, the most valuable med icine in the world. I am, dear sir, your friend, J. 11. SMITH. Columbus, Nov. 1, 1849. Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a stiff neck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or seven years, and could not turn her neck except with the body. 1 was induced to purchase a bottle of your Liniment, which was applied in August or September of 1848. One bottle entirely relieved her and she now has the use of her neck as well as ever she had : and up to this time it lias not return ed. GARLAND 13. TERRY. Philadelphia, Feb. 1, 1850. Dr. de Graifenried—Dear Sir: Having been afflicted, for some time past, with a severe attack of Rheumatism, and having heard of the wonderful effects of your Rheumatic Liniment, 1 was induced to try a bottle of it, and after three days, l was so much relieved as lobe able to leave the bouse anil attend to business. 1 have perfectly recovered from the disease, and would cheerfully recommend the Liniment to all those who are afflicted. GEORGE lIOOD, 27 Powell st. I Columbus, Ga., Oct. 13, 1849. Dr. E. L. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: Agreeable to your request, I give my testimonial as to the virtue of your Lini ment in the cure of Rheumatism, Being attacked in one joint of my finger, last winter, with acute Rheumatism, and having used many of the unnumbered prescriptions for its cure, with hut little benefit, 1 made application of two bottles oft your Liniment, winch I am happy to say relieved me in a v!ry short time. I can recommend its use to all persons af fected in like manner. Very respectfully, F. S. CHAPMAN. I cm testily to the efficacy of Dr. de Graffenricd’s Rheu matic Liniment in the case of Mr. F.S. Chapman, as it came under my immediate observation. Oct. 13, 1849. R- A. WARE, M. D. Dear Sir—Some time in January last, Mrs. McKee was taken very ill with Inflammatory Rheumatism in her shoul der joints, extending to her elbow joint, and arm, which dis abled her from using her arm almost entirely ; and from the pain, want of sleep, and great restlessness, for not less than six weeks, I was induced by my friend, Mr. Luke Reed, to call on you for a bottle of your Liniment, and by using half the bottle, she was entirely relieved, and the relief was man ifest or sensible after three or four rubbings. lam of opinion it is one of the most valuable remedies that lias ever been dis covered for Rheumatism: that, is, from my own knowledge, and that which I have heard from others. Dr. E. L. de Graffenried. 11. C. McKEE. Columbus, Oct. 19th, 1849. Dr. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: 1 take pleasure in saying, I have a boy who was so badly afflicted with Rheumatism, that he could not raise his hand to his head, and had nearly lost the use of his arm. I used the fourth of a bottle of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved him entirely. I con sider it a most valuable remedy for the cure of Rheumatism. RANDOLPH L. MOTT. Jones’ llotku Piiiladbupbia, March 3d, 1850. Col. A. 11. Ragan —Sir, it affords me great pleasure to lie able to bear testimony to the efficacy and virtues ol Dr. de Graffenried 1 j Rheumatic J.inuiteut. I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with what I lieliev cd to be, and what eminent Physicians of this city pronounced, Rheu matic gout, for several winters jtast I have been confined to my room audited nearly all the time. In January last, 1 had an attack as violent if not more so than usual, which prostrated me for about three weeks; on your recommendation l commenced the use of this Liniment. (With I must confess but little faith.) its effects were astonishing and decidedly beneficial from its first application. In a few days lay back, wrists and ankles were entirely relieved (and so continue) of all the soreness anil pains, and the swellings reduced, with the use of less than one bottle. I have been iu tliu discharge of my ordinary business eeer since. I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most efficacious remedy for this disease, which 1 have ever met with. And most cheer fully recommend itsuseto all who may be afflicted with it. Respectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGES, Jones'Hotel. Raltimobe, March 30, 1850. Dr. de Graffenried— Dear Sir. for the last twelve years, I have sul fcrec very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to my lied by it. I have had the liest med ical aid to he 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 Springs in Virginia, to little purpose. After my return home, l so far recovered, as to be able to walk about a little. About six weeks since, I bad a severe attack which again con fined me to my bed, I was in great pain and scarcely able to move my limbs, when a friend of mine called and informed me that you had dis covered an infallible remedy, and had cured many, ami amongst th i in, one of my friends, and showed me a letter from him stating the fact. I was induced to try your Rheumatic Liniment, and take pleasure in informing you that in less than twenty-four hours from the first appli cation l was perfectly free from pain, and continue so up to this time. I am now able to attend to business, and fondly hope all those afflict ed, as I have been, may boas sjieedily relieved, ns 1 have been with your medicine. Wishing you all the blessings you deserve dear sir, Your grateful and obedient Servant, GEO. WARDS WORTH. Columbus, Ga., Oct. 20, 18-19. Dr. de Graffenried— Dear Sir, I take pleasure in giving you the particulars of my affliction by, and relief from Rheumatism. During the spring of 1814 1 was afflicted with a very severe attack of Inflam matory Rheumatism. I employed all the most celebrated remedies then known and used in similar cases, 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 some thing new, and which had cured him; and in one month from the time I commenced the application, I was well, and clear of the Rheu matism as 1 ever was, and have continued so to this time.

The success which during this long series of years, has attended his administrations has, in many instances been such, as to over come the most inveterate prejudices in favor of the old order of things and to produce instead thereof, a conviction that even in medicine, as in other branches of the physical sciences new ideas may be advanc ed, and results achieved,that our ancestors would have deemed im possible, but which our posterity, thanks to the enlightenment of a coming age, may find easy of accomplishment. This succeds in curing diseases of the most hopeless character after all other means had failed,and that too, in many instances without see ing the patient, has long been the subject of general remark, exhibiting as it does in bold relief the difference between restoring a case that has been absolutely abandoned, and simply raising another, that hun dreds of others could oure. Such cases can be pointed out in almost every county in Georgia, where some poor, decrcpid, helpless being, atter testing every local means without avail have sent off, as a dernier resort, a description of their diseases to a distance, in many instances hundreds of miles, and received back those health restoring remedies that have restored them again to health and to society, to their own astonishment and their neighbors wonder, putting at naught the sneers of antagonistic interests, and adding new linger posts at every post office and cross roads, pointing the way the city of refuge. Without subjecting himself to the charge of presumption, he would yet boklly say, that he firmly believes that nine-tenths of She so called incurable cases in Georgia, are yet within the reach of medicine.and can be cured by pursuing a proper course of medication, with the ex ercise of necessary care and perseverance, on the part of the patient, which in all cases of a lingering character, are of the last importance. The great facilities for this kind of treatment presented in tiie cheap postage system, has been taken advantage of by thousands who hap pily can indirectly attribute their present good health to that noble spe cimen of lilieral government; and there are thousands more \\ ho may reap the same advantages, by simply pursuing a similar course. Let the afflicted if he cannot write himself, get his neighbor to do it for him, give a history of his case, age, habits, and symptoms, the same as if talkiug to a physician. If able and it is convenient, enclose the fee; if not convenient just then, a due hill for the amount wiH answer, (this obviates the inconvenience of making accounts at great distances,) and if not able, preqiay and mail the letter to lus address, when medicines suitable to the case will lie compounded and sent with full directions. The charge for treatment is only ($5) five dollars, monthly, a sum sufficiently small to obviate the fear of risk to any one, and yet suffi cient to preserve him from loss in his extensive administrations. This done, call at the post office in a reasonable time, and receive your medicines with as much precision as you would a letter; pre pare and use them as directed, and persevere; ri-|xrt progress month ly, or oftener, as may be necessary, and closely watch the progress of the cure. Having been long and extenaively engaged in the treatment of dis eases peculiar to females, he would say that they may avail them selves of his knowledge, with the utmost confidence, in his prudence and integrity, so that in writing out their symptoms, they may express themselves with the necessary freedom. In some of the diseases of the renal and procreative system, the medicines being more costly, the charge will be increased. Such cases as require [lersnnal attention, will lie treated on libera terms in the city, where the necessary accommodatious can always be bad. Those wishing further information in regard to results, will address a i>ost-pai(l letter to the undersigned, who will immediately mail to the applicant such documents as must disarm doubt. M. 2?.

A course of Lectures on Medical Jurisprudence will be delivered gratis during the session, In making the announcement for the approaching session of the Botanico Medical College, it is due the friends of Re form and the public generally, to lay before them its present condition. The Institution has up to the present been crowned with unparalleled success, compared with similar institutions iu this country. True, it has had to contend with those diffi culties peculiar to, and which are constant attendants upon, the establishment of new institutions, and especially such as embrace new doctrines. In addition to the facilities for instruction heretofore afford ed, much is being done by the enterprising trustees, and by individuals to render the institution, if possible, still more worthy of public confidence, The college buildings formerly occupied, having been found too inconvenient for the advanced condition of the institution, arrrangements have been made lor the building of a more spacious edifice, which iu addition to the necessary lecture rooms, will embrace a library, a museum and an herbarium. The arrangements now in contemplation are deemed as com plete as in the oldest institutions in the country, and no pains will be spared, either by the trustees or faculty, to render the situation of students not only advantageous, but pleasant. In consequence of the numerous applications which have been made to extend indulgence to young men of enterprise and merit, at a late meeting of the faculty, it was unani mously agreed, that a note for ninety-five dollars, with two good endorsers, payable twelve months after date, should be received iu lieu of cash, for the tickets of the several profes sors for one course of lectures, when students are not prepar ed to advance the cash.

Two hundred and thirty Cadets, from fifteen dlflerent States, have entered this Institution since it was organized, in 1817. It is entire ly free from the control or domination of any sect or [arty, either po litical or religious. Economy in dress, by the adoption of a cheap Uniform, for Winter and Summer, is rigidly enforced. Every studetn is required to select a College guardian, with whom all fuiuls brought or received must lie dejiosited, and no debt must lm contracted without the consent of such guardian. An Institution combining the science of the West Point Academy and of Polytechnic Institutes, with the classical literature of our best Colleges, adding the modern languages, and supendding practical schools of Raw and Engineering, nearly realizes the long-felt desider atum of a university able to meet the wants of Western progres:—a university where all may select a course of steady to suit their time, means oud professional destination. Mr. Daviess, the Professor of I.aw, is known is the various Courts as a practitioner of great ability, x aried learning, long experi ence and exalted character. His eminent qualifications, the whole some exercise and discipline of the Institute, and the convenient ob servation of the forms of judicial proceeding, oiler unusual induce ments to those who are earnest to achieve distinction as sound Ijhi era CIVIL ENGINEERING Will Ik 1 thoroughly and practically taught in the Western Military In stitute—the Professor, Col. Moruan, Ising one of the most skillful and experienced Engineers in the United Mates. All the instrument*con nected with that department, have been procured at considerable cost, and are of the best quality. ‘the Su|ieriiitcndt-iit takes the lilierty of stating that lie is now ofiei e<l $75 per mouth, for competant assistant Engineers. One of hi* (oi mer pupils receives at this tins $2,500 per annum,as Principal En gineer of a Railroad now under count ruction in Kentucky—whilst others of the same class are receiving in di fie rent parts of the United States, $2.0(10, $1,500. or $1,200 a year ns Assistant Engineer*. The time is rapidly approaching when there will Ik* a great demand for such as have lieeu prepared for that vocation, at the Western Mil itary Institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying that they will readily couunand $1,200 or $1,500 per annum. Every man of observation must see that the gigantic enterprises already prnjxiscd, w ill give birth to hundreds of others, tributary to them. The rapid advancement of onr whole country, and the eagerness of our people, for exploring Ihe i hidden resources of the new Mates and the newly acquired territory, will give ample scope for ages to come, to the skill and enterprise of jthe Engineer, the Geologist, the Mineralogist,the Surveyor and the Architect. Young men who have an aptitude f<>r the Mathematical and Physical sciences will have a w ide field opened to them for enga ging in an honorable, a healthful and a lucrative pursuit, for which they may he thoroughly and practically in a short time, and small exjs'iise, at the Western Military Institute.
