On thecon trary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object in writing you is to find out. upon what terms I can get the medicine directly from you. If 1 can get it upon easy terras, I shall use a great deal of it, lan aware that the use of such articles Is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great, majority of the reg ular line of M. D.’s, but I see do just cause or good sense In discarding a remedy which we know to be ef ficient, gimply because we may be Ignorant of Ps com bination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering huminity which I may be able to command—not hesitating because aorae one more ingenious than myself may have learn d it* effects first, and secured the sole right tc secure hat knowledge. However, lamby no mtans an ad vocateor supporter of the thousands of worthless nos trums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which hum in flesh is heir.— Pjease reply soon, and Inform me of your best terms. 1 Ain, sir, most respectfully.

BY MBS. B. B. GLEASON, M. D. ("We wish thtit every young lady who reads The Post, would read tlie following article at least twice—not hastily an 1 skiimningly, but earnestly and carefully. It contains just that advice which the great majority of American girls greatly need.— Edltou of “The Saturday Evening Post:”] A young lady ia her school career said, “One year more here, and I grad uate; another year at a seminary in the city to finish; rext, I will read and travel a year, and then I shall be ready.” “Heady for what ?” said my friend whom she was addressing. The young miss looked puzzled a moment, and then replied, blushingly, ‘To get mar ried, I suppose.” In a recent number of Tlie Herald of Health, we have gone over with some of the sins and sicknesses inci dent to the sehoollife of oul- young la dies. Now we will cousi ler “ What next ?” They are ready for what ? It may be to get married, it may be not. As we do not propose to treat young ladies like charming vas< s placed in shop windows ready to be selected and set in private homes; therefore, the question ready for what ? is to us of earnest praeticlo import. Many beau tiful girls are earnest souls, who, when the freshness of freedom irom school routine is over and the first charm of the coining out is past, look around longingly for something to live for be yond the diversions of tne passing days. Some rush into gayeties for which they have no relish, or worse, into wedded life, which they did not really want, merely because there is in them a fund of life-force which longs to be expend ed, or because they want anew sensa tion. The question of work and wages for women, is not the one under consider ation. Though it is a part of our dai ly thought to meet this great want.— But the question to which our pen now points is, What shall a genteel young lady do, after her graduation, to save body and soul ? for both will go to ru in if not usefully employed. A house with a good tenant lasts longer than one empty. Yes, we must all work out our own salvation, by working for the world, even if our friends have funds enough to feed and clothe us. By this, we do not mean that growing girls or grad uated girls, should be burdened with business heavy for heart or hand.— They should have time to bud and blos som; bask iu the sunshine, develops and enjoy their beauties, or like colts and lambs, frisk with the mere delight of existence. Many girls are hopelessly broken by work of body and brain too heavy for them, before they are sufficiently con solidated to endure well. Wometirnes a keen sense of religious responsibility goads them on to undertake more than they can bear. The growing Christian sense of ripening girlhood needs to be held back, rather than to be hurried forward into work hard for either mus cle or mind. But what shall you do where spirit ual life or physical needs have not yet put you in pressure of any sort, aud who stand, diploma in hand, ready for what ? First, if any of you have pressed your mental powers so hard in order to graduate with honor, that the mus cular system has lost its tone, then bring it up by due attention as j’ou would any back lesson, the basis of one in advance. Don’t let this feeble ness settle into a chronic weariness, so that general debility shad be your gen eral for the rest of your life. Remem ber that the lassitude which often en sues after a long couise of study, is because the forces of the system have been exhausted through the brain, and that the muscles are weak not only from disease, but because the electri cal fire or the nerve fluid has been so expended, that there is too little left to infuse muscular vigor. So, first, vegitate. Take bodily exercise and let the brain rest. If you are so fortu nate as to have a sensible mother, who lives in a simple way in a quiet house, she can help you into a practicle knowledge of housekeeping, and up to good health at the same time. Have you cold feet, pressure of blood to the head, loss of appetite, constipa tion ? Domestic work, cheerfully done is an excellent remedy for all these.— Remember, cheerfully done. A bad spirit spoils any remedial means. You don’t like it ? "Very probably, but you can come to like it. To fiud the crown that lies beneath every cross, it must be shouldered and carried cheerfully, not shirked half the time, dragged the other half. Return to the mother who has been j so tenderly longing for you, not to be j a pretty parlor ornament merely, or; worse, a genteel invalid, but to share j the duties which often rest too heavily on the maternal head of the household, j Yes, not only share them, but soon be j able to shoulder them all, and thus add' length and strength to the days of one who has done so much for you.— Grown-up daughters come on just when the mother most needs help. As she nears first half-century she should have a season of leisure for rest and retrospect, and then she will recuper ate and be ready for active service for years to come, with less of beauty and more of wisdom than characterized her earlier days. Every farmer recognizes this principle in reference to his favor ite family horse, and so turns out the noble animal into a good pasture for a whole summer, saying, “It will pay in the end.” Human nature and horse nature are not unlike in this, and many do not live out half their days for want of this year of jubilee like that appointed for the Jews. Gentle, patient, devoted women for lack of this release go beyond the ral lying point, and so die early or live in invuhdism. Mothers are over-indulg ent, aiid daughters are more thought less than heartless, and both are debil itated—oue by overwork, the other for lack of it. As to home duties, let ev ery young lady honor the estate in which God has placed her. Jesus weut from the temple at Jarusalem to Nazareth, and was subject to His par ents, or, as we suppose, helped Joseph, he being a carpenter. So when you leave your temple of knowledge and go to your home, be subject to your mother, ready to help her, and as soon as possible give her rest from her la bors for a time. If she keeps house and does her own work, you should soon be able to assume all her duties. If she has a great house, many serv ants, and a large social circle, then her position is still more trying, and she is in greater need of release. Perhaps there is an invalid in the family, or wild girl, or wayward boy, or a back ward scholar, who need bringing up for day and Sunday-shool, who tax your tired mother. If so, assume one after another of these responsibilities as fast as you are able, and she will breathe easier and sleep sounder. She has turned her own life-current always for your comfort, and now she cannot ask y.u to sacrifice yourself' for her, so you must do it without be- i ing asked, and when you have cheer fully assumed one after another of hei duties, she will rejoice in the rest a daughter gives more than from any j other source. Surely, a young lady after a three or ! four years course at sciiool, should not come home more useless than when she went away, more helpless than those of her own age who have not en joyed these advantages. Sue should have patience enough to manage chil- j dren, character enough to control bir- j ed gills. If she can’t fiud a good do- j mestic she must make one out of raw j material, for there is plenty of that ev- ! erywhere. Every good mistress is able j to control her cwn spirit aud another’s too. I speak thus plainly, because I find those who seem to have lost all their health and common sense at school, if they ever had any. But whv do I make so much of knowledge of domestic economy ? Be cause it is the best basis for good bus iness ability iu any department.— Physical strength, patient energy in duties disagreeable are thus develop ed. When I talk to you about house keeping, don’t dream that I expect you will soon all have a house of your own to keep, or that you will always keep house for your mothei. But I speak of it as your teacher did of mathemat ics and Latin, a good foundation for the future, aud also an occupation or an accomplishment to which you can turn when necessary. So much for the hands of young graduates—now for the heads, which have been doing their best with the best of help these many y t ars. Is your course of study finished? Are you to make no further attainments in science and literature, and only to be busy forgetting what you have learned ? I once lived in a neighborhood of Dutch Yankees, who made free use of the word “busy.”. When riding past the house of one of them, seeing a boy near the door, my friend asked, “Is your father iu V” “Yes,” answered the lad. “Ask him to come out.” “He can’t,” was the answer. “Why not ?” “Cause.” said the boy, “he is busy a dying.” This is a fact. *So often girls emancipated from do mestic work, aro “busy a dying.”— Their bad, bodily habits invite debility and disease. Their bad, mental hab its make them dreamy and forgetful. How few, after leaving school, read to any purpose beyond the amusement of the hour, or seeing bow the story turns out, which practice is ruinous to mem ory. Well, what shall you read? - First, read with the purpose of beiug intelligent in someone direction. Out of the the range of history and litera ture, select what you like best, if you can. If not, what opportunity offers. Now that books are so plenty on Botany, Chemistry, Geol< gy, Concliol ogy, Astronomy, etc., there surely ought to be something between the heavens above and the earth beneath, which could interest a well educated young lady, so that she need not be driven for mental diversion to the w T ild fan cies of story writers, who depend for their inspiration on the excitement of late hours and the inspiration of tea, coffee, tobacco, brandy, aud opium. When rid ng on the broadest l ikes, the grandest rivers, amid scenery the finest that earth affords, you see some young ladies more interested in some | new' romance of unreel life, than in all ! the wonders and beauties about them, j Such travel seems to us a sad waste of time. A friend of ours camo from Califor nia around the Cape, for the benefit of her health—a six months’ voyage. — During the first few days after leaving San Francisco, there were many ex pressions of pleasure on the part of the Indies, at the prospect of the long voyage. The captain said, on hearing them, “Yes, ihe ladies will dress up and keep bright and on deck for a few days, and then they will grow gloomy and say it is dull and stupid, and take to their berths and read novels for the rest of the way, and wo shall have none of their company.” My friend, though a delicate invalid, determined that the prophesy should not hold true in her case. So she spent a large share of her time on deck, talking with the captain as she had opportunity. He finding in her an intelligent listener, took evident pleas ! ure in instructing her in the art of I navigation, sayuig it was new to find a lady who knew anything about tho wav of a ship at sea. Before th. y reached New York the captain was sick, and she, with the mate, made the bearings and kept the records. Y'ou ask, perhaps, if she be came a sailor on the high seas. No. she went to her Westtrn home, and married the man who had beeen so pa tiently waiting for her to get well.— Then you say, “What good did all this do her ?” First, the voyage was more interesting to her, and hence did her more good. A journey enjoyed, lienefits health unspeakably more than one merely endured. Besides this, the intelligence gathered will always be a source of pleasure to her and to her many a frieds. Surely when three fourths of the earth is ocean and we are brought over the great waters to our desired haven, it is not of some in terest to know how it is done ? Not only sea-captains, but men ev ery where, fiow coal-diggers to con gressmen, are ready to instruct young ladies iu relference to their craft, it they lead off quietly with a few inqui ries aud then give appreciative atten tion to the replies. A good listener is the best of company, especially if the listener is a bright young lady. Our girls could glean a great amount of science and sense from fathers an l brothers, by cultivating an acquaint ance with their occupation whatever it may be. There is no handicraft which meets any human need, but it is good to know about. Os course, no oue can learn every thing, so we can only glean 1 from what is wituin our reach, aud not j grasp in vain for what is beyond it.— { JJut you say, what is the use of all this, | when the chief occupation of women is ; housekeeping. Fiftt, there is strength and comfort in the knowing. Second,; “a stone fitted for the wail will not ; long lie in the road.” A Spanish prov erb and a true one. Among many young ladies who have come in my way wanting work, I do not remember one for whom I could not find a good place and good pay, if there were anything she could do well. But to our point. Is your father a , lawyer? If so, let him select reading , for you from his own library. Surely, if you have studied the higher ruathe- j rnutics, you ought to be sharp enough j to learn something of the law's of state and nation, with such a teacher as a loving fattier. A few days since, I listened w’itli great interest to the examination of a class of young ladies, who had been studying Civil Government. They talked iuteligcntly of state rights, of the power of the President, the Senate | and House, the Wilmot Proviso, the Missouri Compromise, etc. Surely, these points are of more practical in terest than heathen mythology, or the history of those nations long extinct. Is your father a clergyman? Then you can have the best oi help iu sacred literature, and in turn help him in his work among his people, in prayer meeting, in Sunday Sciiool, and in his study. I know a very interesting young lady, the daughter of an emi nent clergyman, who, for a few years, has written all her father’s sermons and they were written well, too. The father had in early life a nervous dis ease which prevents his writing, so he would dictate while the wife wro e, and when the wife became ill, the grown-up daughter took her place.— Though her school course is much less complete than she desired, iu real mon : tal culture she is in advance of most of ! her age. Os course, having written ; critically so many years, she is a good i judge of books, sermons, lectures, etc. If your father is a physician, then : know something of the human frame, its infirmities, and the modes of relief. At least have a general idea of his rem edies and for what they are used. I once asked a young lady, who was suffering severely from inhumation of the eyes, w hat had been done for them, j “Well,” she said, “1 have tried almost everything, even to horse liniment.”— “How is that ?” I asked. “\\ hy, I sent to our family physician for something to put on my eyes, and as the doctor was not in, his wife sent me what she supposed to be eye-water, but which 1 found afterward was liniment just made ; up for a neighbor’s horse.” Drugs are so numerous iu their compounds, that it takes more than ; the nve senes to divine all, but one should know what they don’t know. Do not fancy that I want to make doctors, lawyers, or divines of you all iu a hurry.

A servant girl in Allatoona re cently tried whiskey to kill rats. She sweetened it with sugar, soaked bread in it, and left the bread in the cellar where tho rats “most do congregate.” She had been up stairs but half an hour when she heard laughing, sing ing, and a general hullaballoo down stairs, She accordingly went down to sec what was the matter. Imagine her astonishment to find about a doz en rats gloriously fuddled, engaged in throwing potato parings at each other, and hauling one another up to drink.

Where the Sun Dues not Set. The following graphic passage is from the description of a scene witnessed by a Sir. Campbell and his party in the North of Norway, from a cliiP one thousand feet above the sea: The ocean stretches away in silent vastness at our feet. The sound of its waves scarcely reached our airy look out. Away in the north the huge old sun swung low along the horizon, like the blow beat of the pendulum in the tall clock of our grandfather’s parlor corner. We all stood silent, looking at our watches. When both hands came together at twelve, midnight, the full orb hung triumphantly above the wave —a bridge of gold running due north, spanned the water between us and him. There he shone in silent majesty, which knew no setting. We involuntarily took off our hats; no word was said. Combine, if you can, the most brilliant sunrise and sunset you ever saw, and its beauties will pale before the gorgeous coloring which j now lit up ocean, heaven and moun tain. In half an hour the sun had swung up perceptibly on bis beat, the colors changed to those of morning, e fresh breeze rippled over the Hood, oue songster after another piped up in the grove behind us—we slid into another day. Transmission of Mental Disease. — Dr. Charles Elam, an English physi cian, has just published a book in which medical problems are discussed. Os the transmission of mental disor ders, he says: “There is no form of heritage more remarkable than that of the ttndeney to suicide without any other marks of abberration of intellect. Dr. Winslow relates the case of a family where all the members exhibited, when they ar rived at a certain age, a desire to com mit self destruction; to accomplish which the greatest industry and inge- I nuity were manifested. Dr. Gall re lates a very striking instance of seven | children of one man, who all enjoy a ! competency and good health, yet all ! possessed a rage for suicide, and all i yielded to it within thirty or forty j years. ‘Some hanged, some drowned themselves, and others blew out their 1 brains.’ Many other examples of the same tendency are brought forward :by the same writer. I may add one case to the above from my own expe | rience. Sitting one day with an ac quaintance, I noticed some depression jin his spirit s. After a prolonged si lience, he broke out in the following j dreary attempt at conversation: ‘My i grandfather hung himself, my uncle j took poison, my father shot himself, I shall cut my throat.’ The facts were correct; but constant surveilance prevented the sequel in bis own histo ry." It is curious fact that men who have been prodigal of their lives in battle and have passed through many “hair breadth escapes i’ th’ imminent deadly breach,” should have so great a dread of death when it comes from the hand of an assassin. It is said that Crom well was never seen to smile after he had read “Killing no Murder” iu which was advocated his assassination. Sir Neil Campbell, iu his journal lately published gives us a graphic account of the fear which Napoleon felt for his life during the journey from Fontain ebleau to Elba. Oa leaving Oruge, where he had been received with de rision and abuse, he left his carriage, and, enveloping himself in a Russian cloak, and wearing tho white cockade in a common rouud hat, he rode on in advance of hi3 escort, accompanied by only a single courier, and during the rest of the journey repeatedly changed name and clothes with the commission ers who accompanied him.

Humored Resignation of Hulbrrt. —lt is asserted upon so high authori ty, that we longer question the truth, that Superintendent Huibert has plac ed his resignation iu the hands of his Expresseleucy, and lias accepted the position of Superintendent of the Chattannooga and Meridian Railroad.
