CmuMnulist & lEUphlit. BY JAMES GARDNER, JR. AUGUSTA, GA. THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 28. FOR GOVERNOR, HON. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON. Os Baldwin County. Sectional Opposition to the Administration. When the national parties of this country had in both Conventions adopted the Compromise Measures as a final settlement of the slavery question —and pledged that the only remaining act, in this great scheme ot adjustment between the North and the South, which was executory in its character, viz: the fugitive slave law, should be henceforth faithfully carried out, and that all agitation, both in and out of Congress should cease—it was supposed, nay, confidently believed, that an end to disturbance had been effected. It was a matter of rejoicing through out the length and breadth of this land—and only those who at heart were traitors to the man as centered in the permanency of this great confederacy, hung their heads at this memorable triumph of patriotism. The cloud which had hung over us and caused the strongest spirit to grow sad with dispair, was driven away —and the glorious light of peace, beamed forth, and presented to the world a na tion as happy, united and content as it was in the first days of its creation. Such were the flattering prospects for the re turn of good feeling and harmony between every section of the country, on a firm and stable foun dation, when Gen. Pierce received for Presi dent of these United States the votes, of all ex cept four, in the Union. Thus elected to fill the highest office in the gilt of the country at a pecu liarly interesting period in its history—with the unbounded confidence of the people in him as being purely national in his sentiments, well tried and faithful to the Constitution and loyal to the Union—this distinguished functionary had scarcely taken the oath office when he be holds. factions and cliques rising up here and there to oppose him, at the very outset of his administration. Before the appointed time had arrived when he should present to the country, through Congress his views of such measures ant policy as should be adopted and carried out, he finds himself attacked by a party of disap pointed and fussy out-siders whose means of ex istence is opposition to any thing and every thing for no particular reason, but on general principles of disaffection inherent in their na ture. To them Peace—the beauty and life of society—the soul and energy of government, has no charms, and forthwith they make an on slaught. : In order to be at their work of fault-finding, they begin with his appointments. Basing their objections to his course in this respect, on strictly sectional issues, and prevented by pre judice from taking an enlarged and liberal view of what are the duties and obligations of the President to the whole country, they hope, by a general systematic movement of their forces everywhere on the same line of attack, to alarm the South into the belief that their prop erty is endangered by certain appointments at the North —and that the Union is inevitably bound to be dissolved sooner or later, in conse quence of some he has made at the South. Either unwilling or unable flb comprehend the terms and conditions on which the question of slavery and the issues incident to it, w r ere fully and finally settled in convention at Baltimore, by the representatives of the Democratic party ftom every portion of the country, they continue their unjust and unfounded charges of section alism and ultraism against the Executive, utter ly opposed to the broad, National and Conser vative principles of the platform on which he was elected, and by which he has so solemnly pledged his honor that the affairs of the nation should be administered. General Pierce was not placed at the head of this government to use the patronage of his of fice as the means of producing schisms and cre ating hot blood among the people. Rather did the spirit and letter of that great treaty of peace be tween the two hitherto hostile and embittered sections of the Union demand of him as a patriot, as an American, knowing no North, no East, no South no West, a strict construction of it. He was called on to see that henceforth these articles of pacification should be carried out. To effect this end, he had no right to go behind this settle ment—the sincerity and good faith of each party in signing it—hereafter to observe its require ments, he had no right to question. This in strument of adjustment was not intended to dis- qualify on account of past differences and opinions Up but it was to be the test and standard by which every man’s future fidelity to the constitution and the government were to be tried. It was to nry in oblivion, if possible, past difficulties and unfriendly feeling, and to be regarded as a com mon point whence every one, no matter how. much estranged before, might commence together in harmony and peace the service of the country. Here then is the record by which he is to be judged in reference to his appointments.— Let those who have taken umbrage at them produce the proof, that he has violated the terms on which he obtained the suffrages of the people, and that he is no longer worthy of their confidence. This is a grave charge—and if it can be established, the evidence to do it, is at hand. Specify the name of any man who holds office under Gen. Pierce, at the North, who re fuses to acquiesce in the Compromise Measures as a fixed setlement of the slavery question—who is not willing to cease its agitation in and out of Congress—and who will fail whenever required to eKecute the fugitive slave law—or, on the other hand, the name of another at the South, who does not recognize these obligations and moreover—that the peace of the country is not to be disturbed hereafter, by the useless discus cussion of secession, or any other abstract doc trine involving the Union of these States, and if they are not discharged, then will there be just ground of complaint. Until then, and not till then, will the people forsake one to whom they can with so much safety, commit the hap piness and prosperity of our whole country at home, and its honor abroad. We caution politicians how they stir up op position to Gen. Pierce, and say to the people of the South, that if they are dissatisfied with him, they need not look again to the North for a President.

That taxing the people, is one of the necessary inci dents to a government, no one will deny : nor will any one for a moment contend, that any system of taxation, which is manifestly and grossly unequal and unjust, is a proper principle. Then, the question is not whether the people should be taxed, nor what amount of tax they should pay: but what system of taxation will cause the burthen to rest equally upon all —the rich and the poor. I take it for granted that this will be the object of the Legislature, to make the tax bear equally on all. Then what system will effect this? I answer, the ad-valorem Not the present miss-called ad-valorem—that system which makes so many exemptions, and at the same time laying specific taxes ; but ad-valorem in its true and literal meaning—that system Vhieh lays hold of the value of the whole property in the State, and nothing but the pro perty ; in other words, that takes a certain per cent, on the whole of what a man is worth. The present system exempts in the first place, three hundred dollars for furniture; and, in the second place, two hundred dollars worth of pro perty, money, notes or accounts, making in all, five hundred dollars exempt; and at the very 1 lowest calculation one-fifth of the people of Georgia are exempt from paying tax, by that act. It is true, that the tax on five hundred dol lars is not much; it is a very small sum, but it is so much the easier paid, and when that small sum is paid by ten, fifteen, or twenty thousand persons, it makes a considerable sum, and that sum deducted from the tax of those who have paid such an oppressive tax since the alteration ot our tax law, would fetch their tax w’ithin the bounds of reason. And why should not the man who is worth but five hundred dollars, pay something to the government for protection ? Cannot a man who is worth but five, or even one hundred dol lars, pay a small per cent oh that sum, as easy as another can pay the same per cent, on ten thousand dollars ? Certainly: and with more ease; for a person with a small capital, generally realizes a large per cent, income than one whose capital is larger. But 1 see that some are advocating a still larger exemption. The Columbus Corner Stone recommends an exemption of one thousand dol lars in the first place, and then, a graduated tax, the per cent, to increase aa the value of the pro perty increases. But that system would not be equal, even among the tax-payers, for a man paying on two thousand dollars would pay more than twice the amount that the man would, who paid on one thousand : and besides that, it would exempt from taxation, at the least calcu lation, one-half the citizens, and consequently the whole burthen ot supporting the government would devolve upon a few. Again, I think all specific taxes ought to be abolished except that on free persons of color.— It is right that they should be taxed, and I know of no method more practicable than the present; but when practitioners of Law and Physic, Den tists, and Daguerrean Artists perform as many duties, civil and military, and pay the same per cent, on all the property they have, why should they pay lor their profession,while the Mechanic, the Blacksmith, the Merchant and others go free? This is unfair,unjust and anti-ad-valorem. Why should the young Lawyer or Doctor be compelled to pay from eight to ten dollars a year, even before he draws the first writ or visits the first patient? Many a voung man has, without means, after several years study and labor, succeeded in obtaining a profession and when he has perhaps not a dime in his pocket, is stopped by the State, from entering upon the duties of his profession till he pays the tax above mentioned; while his brother has pursued a different calling, and instead of spend ing his time and money in preparing for future usefulness has entered immediately into business, and has earned, say five hundred dollars ; and he continues his business without paying one cent of tax. How unjust! You make the one who has nothing but his profession pay ten dollars, and his brother, who is worth five hundred dol lars, goes free. Where is the justice ? My idea is this, let the Legislature ascertain the value of the property in the State, and lay such a per cent, on that sum, as will be necessary together with the poll, and tax on free negroes, to support the government. Then, if a man has nothing, he is to be pitied ; if he has & little, he will pay but little ; and if he has more, he can easily pay more. If there is any system better than that, what is it ? Equality. [communicated.] The Canvass in Oglethorpe. Mr. Editor :—The game here is getting inter esting, and in accordance with my promise, to keep you posted, if it was worth the candle, I again drop you a line. Almost every week we hear it'rumoiedjthat another “Richmond is. in the field,” and very soon again the old Dame denies the report. The very last dodge seems to be, to get a sort of a “ betweenity”—a sort of “bil an’, 7 af, 77 thinking no doubt, that by the mixture something may be done for the salvation of the country. We rather think a “ betweenity,” even on the Jenkins Platform (?) will hardly take) tho 7 we dont pretend to know the certainty of any human calculations ! We may have singu lar notions of propriety, but we think it best that there be no stalking-horses in this cam paign ! But that if a candidate is wet, then let him be wet; if he is dry, let him go it dry ! The people are to be the judges! The “ Dryites” here have taken considerable courage since we last wrote, as they think (?) they are receiving a good deal of “ aid and comfort,” from men of influence in the community, who never fail to take a little “ fourth proof 17 at home and abroad too, “ for their stomach’s sake, and often infirmi ties, 77 for which they are able to pay five, ten or twenty dollar? per gallon for the article ! This we call preaching Temperance ®ut of one cor ner of the mouth, and pouring brandy in at the other ! The “ Wetites, 77 seem to take it easy enough, making no grand demonstrations, or blowing for the boys,” for they seem to be satisfied that when the tug of war comes, the boys will be on hand ! We 7 1l all know by “ waitir, g for the wa §on-” The first, and only as yet,“ gathering,” is advertised by the “Dry ites” to come off on the 30th inst.

Q R Cheering Prospects. —We can now assure our readers, (says the Milledgeville Federal Union, of 26th inst.) that the news we have re ceived within a few days from almost every part of the State, is of the most satisfactory kind. In the Ist Dist. the Holmesville Conven tion recommends the Democrats to support Col. Seward. This, we think, will insure his elec tion against any man the Whigs can bring into the field. In every county but one in the 2nd Dist. we hear that our friends are united. In the 4th Dist. Col. Murphy has withdrawn and left the Whigs to their own resources. In the •th Dist. Gen. Wofford and Judge Hillyer give < Judge Johnson a cordial support. It is believed by good Judges that Johnson's majority in the 6th Dist. will be 3000. The only part of the State where any divisions exist in the Demo cratic party that are calculated to do any harm, is in the sth Dist. and we are in hopes that in that Dist. their divisions will soon be healed and the whole united Democratic host will march forward “ fair as the Moon, clear as the Sun, and terrible as an army with banners.” Ihe Editor of the Western paper announces the marriage of a Mr. Henry Bill, to Miss Mary Small, and thinks the law which prohibits the issue of small bills will be viola ted. Crawling through an Auger Hole. Every one who has read the Whig papers in Georgia this summer, must have noticed a piti ful trick by which several of them attempted to impose upon their readers and the public gene rally. They have evidently endeavored to create the impression that the Courier published at Rome, and the Constitutional Union published at Marietta, were two Democratic Papers , that had refused to support the Democratic nominees, and gone over to the support of Jenkins and whiggery. Httndreds in Georgia that were un acquainted with the facts were imposed upon by this contemptible trick, and newspapers in other States have been deceived, and have pub lished as a fact, that two Democratic papers in Georgia had refused to support the Democratic Candidates. This shallow device of the enemy was exposed by ourselves and several of our Democratic Contemporaries. We proved that the two papers mentioned had never been Dem ocratic but violent Whig papers; that the Dem ocats had never expected any help from them, and that in supporting the whig nominees they had only acted in their vocation. The Chroni cle & Sentinel is very much nettled at being canght in such a mean trick and endeavors to get out by saying, w We stated distinctly that the Editor of these papers have always been consis tent Democrats. This we repeat without the fear of contradiction from any source.” This is a very poor come off, or come out rather. We cannot now lay our hands upon that number of the Chronicle & Sentinel which contains the announcement of those two important allies to Whiggery. We will for the present let the Organ of Algerine Whiggery have the full ben efit of his explanation. Did he make such a great fuss over two individuals ? Did he think it worth publishing to the world that two men whom nobody knew, would support Mr. Jen kins ! Did he wish to be so understood ? If we put such a construction upon his first article, we must defend his veracity at the expense of his intellect. But this explanation of the Chronicle & Sentinel bears the impress of folly and self contradiction upon its face. Would men who “ have always been consistent Democrats, take charge of two violent Whig papers that depend ed upon Whig patronage for support? Would consistent Democrats support every Whig Candi date and oppose every Democrat in the field ? This surely must be a new species of Democrats known only to the microscopic Editor of the Chronicle & Sentinel, who, when he is cornered, can creep out of a smaller rat hole than any other man of his proportions in Georgia.—Mil ledgeville Federal Union , 2 6th hist. Fashions for July. Morning caps are very small,with long floating strings ; they are made ot embroidered muslin and narrow Valenciennes, of plain net inser tions. The new comb, with double galerie, just invented, may be worn under these caps, as well as with all styles of coiffure, and is particularly pretty for evening dress, with a wreath of flow ers or a bouquet of roses. Evening dresses, for undress parties, are composed of white muslin, three skirts trimmed with Mechin lace, of tar latane trimmed with fringe, or taffetas skirts may be worn with muslin bodies. Walking or riding dresses are high to the throat when made of taffetas. Printed muslin, barges, and taffetas d’ltalie skirts are worn with canezous of muslin, embroidered in small dots; a taffetas shawl, edged round with stamped vel vet and Chantilly lace, clear muslin scarf, or barege scarf with fringe, or an echarpemantelet of taffetas, with a ruch a la vielle, upon the ground ofblack tulle. Leghon bonnet, trimmed w«th plaid ribbon, embroidered with fruit and flowers, or fancy straw, trimmed with ribbon and straw flowers. The glaces silks have given place to the taffe tas gorge de pigeon, which is always beautifnl for demi toilette. Nothing can be prettier than a robe formed of one of these patterned taffetas, tn’mmed with four flounces, on the edges of which is sewn an amaranth of green velvet; the body is flat, open en coeur allonge ; chemis ette a la chevaliere of muslin, in small tucks between insertions of embroidery. Open work ed straw bonnet, trimmed with small bunches of bows ; mancinis of violets and daises. English green is sUll in fashion. A taffetas robr of this shade is distingue. The number of flounces is left to the tsste of the wearer; five 'or seven are mostly worn, and usually in pat tei ,s of colored wreaths, or bunches of flowers in scollops. China crape shawl; bonnet of rice straw, and bouillonnes of crape, with Brussels lace fall; a cactus at one side completes this elesant toilette. Velvet being more than ever in vogue as trimming,we find it applied to mantilles, which increases their beauty and value. The stamped velvets are brought to great perfection, and har monise well with all descriptions of embroide ries; foliage en relief are fastened on the ground work with chainstitch, and are beautiful orna ments both for robes and manteaux. Summe- mantelets are small; many are made of embroidered muslin. Tarlatane scarfs are worn over colored crape lisse, with a wreath embroidered round the edges, and the ends trim med with a deep fringe. These scarfs are very , handsome, and beautifully light. An ingenious novelty has just appeared : the scarf with a double face, composed of two tarla tanes of deep colors, so blended as to produce a most surprising effect, for example, scarlet and blue, gieen and pink, white and maize,or gold color. They can be worn either side outwards, thus forming two toilettes, i Mantilles of tulle are trimmed with rows of lace, separated by very narrow ruches of ribbon A light and fanciful as well as pretty mantille is made of tarlatane, trimmed with deep guipure, with a ruche of gauze guipure ribbon, fixed at the waist by a bow of gauze ribbon with long ends. This worn over a pink or blue taffetas robe, has a most becoming appearance. Mantilles to match the robes are much worn in the country by quiet young ladies ; they are trimmed with flounces to match the skirt. Fancy straw is much used both for bonnets and trimmings. Rosettes of narrow-pattern straw are mixed with ribbons, both for outside and in side ornaments, of these light and graceful bon nets. Capotes are often composed of a mixture of straw and taffetas or tulle. Taffetas bonnets are also worked with an embroidery of straw in wreaths or detached flowers. The curtains are half blonde and half taffetas, embroidered with straw. The flowers are white, mixed with buds of satin straw, which have a very pretty effect. Some capotes are made with a taffetas crown and straw front, in bands of open and flat point ed straw. A double row of blonde trims the inside. The curtain is of teffetas, blonde and straw. A white feather tipped with straw or naments is placed on the right side of the bon net ; on the left is a bow of ribbon. The in side trimming is a mixture, violet crape, corn, and straw flowers. Another capote is of white ribbon, with an open edge of yellow and violet gauze ; two rows of ribbon from the front. A bouquet of heartease in velvet, and straw flowers, with foliage in crape of different shades, ornaments the right side, and a bow of ribbon the left. Flowers in side to match. Young ladies’ bonnets are mostly composed of white taffetas ; the crowns are plated en coquille, with a ruche of pink taffetas across the head and the edge of the front, w’hich is made of a stripe of taffetas and one of plaited crape lisse ; bun ches of long ends of narrow white ribbon at each ear, and small flowers inside. Black lace bonnets continue to be worn, and are much trimmed with flowers and light colored ancy ribbons ; the crowns are loose, and floating m the fanchon style.— Liverpool Times. rv ~ „ .

J [ From the Rural New Yorker \ Hay —Gutting and Curing. The hay-makers are at work and the summer air is full of the fragrance of the new-mown grass. The farmers are early and late afield, and the season is one of bustling activity to theory and their wives and children. O, there is work to do in the country about these days—days when the denizens of the city think most of their country relatives, and oftenest go out among them. Let them not forget how busy their farming friends must be. In what stage of the growth of grass it shall be cut, and the manner in which it shall be cured, are questions of considerable importance to the farmer, though as yet no decisions in which all acquiesce, have made any one practice the uni form and general one. Some cut in the season of flowering, before the blossoms have fallen, others not until the seed has formed, and others defer the operation until it is fully ripe. Each class bring arguments to sustain their plan of procedure, as also is the case in relation to seve ral modes of curing. We will state now, some facts relative to both subjects—drawn from chem istry and practical analogy—but bearing more particularly in favor of early cutting and shade curing, which is conceded, by many of our best farmers, to secure the greatest nutrative value of the hay. Chemistry shows us that all plants contain the largest amount of matter soluble in water, at the period of flowering, and that the sugar and gluten of the grass, and a few other soluble in gredients, constitute its chief value as the food for animals. These rapidly diminish as the seed forms, changing into insoluble woody fibre, and the hay which should, as far as may be, resemble grass in its most perfect state, is worth much less if not made until after that period. There are but few exceptions to this rule, but we be lieve the Kentucky blue grass, the June grass, and some others which furnish but a light amount of stem, and are most valuable from their leaves which continue growing through the summer, may stand far past the flowering age beneficially. It has been supposed, because ripe hay yielded the greatest amount of extract when boiled, that therefore it must contain most nutriment, but is now found that the boiling veryhm perfectly imi tates the process of digestion, and both analysis, and experiment with the living animal, confirm the fact that the best hay is that cut and proper ly cured nearest the period of blossoming. That process of curing which shall most per fectly retain the nutritive properties present in the plant, is the best process. In drying herbs for medicinal and culinary uses, the experience of many centuries teaches, that drying in the shade is the only way to accomplish the desired object. In making hay this cannot be entirely accomplished, but the plan which most closely follows it, that of curing in the swath and cock, is a good and safe one—advantageous also, re quiring less exposure to injury from rain than any other. Clover hay and coarse herds-grass especially, need to be cured in this way, as they will not bear much handling when dry without loss of leaves and blossoms. When moved, let the grass get fairly wilted and the external moisture dried off while in the swath, with, perhaps, a single throughout shaktng-up and spreading, and then put into cocks, and it may be cured with very little loss. The partial fermentation, or “sweat ing,” which it undergoes, causes but slight change in its constituent parts—save that it separates the water therefrom—and after standing thus for twenty hours, it needs but little after tend ing, to prepare it for the mow of stacks, and has far less of that harsh and strawy tendency that it would possess if cured in a different manner. Care should be taken in curing this way, not to put up the hay before it is fully wilted, and that the cocks be small and well constructed, so that the sweating process may not be carried to excess and induce so great a fermentation as to decom pose the sugar of the hav, changing it to alcohol and carbonic acid. The weather has great influence on the real value of the hay crop, but that we can neither foresee nor control. If the weather should prove unfavorable, and constantly changing, it is thought that the less the hay is stirred the bet ter—that it will retain its value while lying wet in the swath, much longer than if disturbed with repeated drying 3 and wettings. Nothing so injures hay as washing bv rain, and this if many times repeated, will totally destroy its value as food for animals. In cutting grass, good tools and good workmen are essential to the economical performance of the work. There is more of ease as well as Com pleteness with the good workman, in the per formance of his labors, and good tools are also a great aid in these respects. Order and readiness in the whole round of preparations give largely increased facilities for pushing forward this and all other farm operations. It is important to have ample means to do everything and when it should be, since so much depends on the right curing and securing of the hay cron. The in troduction of mowing machines and other labor saving implements is of much importance to the farmer, rendering him independent, in some de gree, of manual labor, often difficult to be secured, and always dear at this season of the year. With the requisite team, a good mowing machine and horse-rakes, the usual number of laborers em ployed on the farm will sooner secure in good order, an hundred acres of meadow than they could a dozen under the old system.

Russia and Turkey. —The developments in regard to the Turkish question give a more threatening aspect to affairs. Count Nesselrode has issued a new circular, more impudent than the last, claiming that Russia oecupies the Prin cipalities because the French and English fleets are in Turkish waters, and hints out clearly that Russia will refuse all conciliation until the fleets are withdrawn. A willingness to evacuate the Principalities is, however, expressed when the demands of Russia are complied with. An important despatch has been received from Amsterdam, stating that Baron Bruck, the Austrian Envoy at Constantinople, instead of being charged with a conciliatory mission, has made an imperative demand on the Porte for all the concessions previously refused to Leiningen’s mission. This would seem to indicate collusion between Austria and Russia. A despatch from Vienna announces that troops are about to be concentrated at Peterwardein for the protection of the frontier. It is said that the Porte will publish a reply to the Emperor of Russia, setting forth all the injustice with which Turkey has been treated by Russia. This note has partially opened the eyes of the European public, who see the necessity of bring ing the matter to a close, Russia’s object being merely to gain time to render her position im pregnable. Although the possibility of war is scarcely admitted, public opinion begins to de mand something decisive. The public are tired of being continually amused with despatches an nouncing a pacific tendency of affairs. The latest report is that France and Englend had last week forwaided a note to St. Petersburg, pro posing mutual concessions in order to end the dispute, to which an answer was expected about July 18th. Smyrna.-— Advices from Smyrna to the 29th ult. brings intelligence of a difficulty which had occurred there between the captain of the U. S. frigate St. Louis and the Austrian authorities. The Austrians attempted to remove in a brig to Trieste the Hungarian Colonel Costa, an emis sary of Kossuth, owing to whose arrest a riot had broken out. The captain of the St. Louis claimed Costa as an American, demanded that he should be delivered up to the protection of the United States, and would have taken him by force if Costa could have sustained his claims to citizenship. The conduct of the American commander ex cited great admiration. In consequence of the disturbance, Austria had demanded and received satisfaction from Turkey, the Governor of Smyr na being removed. The St. Louis was still in the vicinity of Smyrna. Greece. —There is nothing further in regard to the case of Mr. King. France.— The plot against Napoleon’s life! at the Opera is more serious than at first supposed. A conspiracy has been unraveled, and the pris oners committed for trial. The French Minister of War has addressed the President of the Chamber ot Commerce, at Nantes, in the following strain :—“We are not bent on war, but if the Emperor, to whom the honor of the government is dearer than all, should think that the national honor demands war, he certainly will not recoil.”. The Paris Bourse was dull and most of the funds had declined. MARKETS. Liverpool , July 13.—The cotton market re mains unchanged, with average sales.

A new paper is in contemplation here, to sustain Southern Democratic Union interests. J. W. Forney will probably become editor of the New York National Democrat. The Hon. J. J. Sibels, Charge d’Affaires to Belgium, arrived this morning. The Hon. ! Enock B. Talcott, collector at Oswego, is also i here. Gov. Seymour, of New York, is said to have got into trouble with the President touching the ' appointment of a whig editor to a $1,200 place j in a department here. Gov. Seymour, it is said, , endorsed him as a democrat, and he was imme- j diately commissioned. The “ Old Guard,” in Oneida, charged Seymour with helping to elect a 1 whig congressman in his district, and says that 1 this appointment was a part of the bargain. j « Sticking to Principle.-— About thirty-five years ago there resided in the town of Hebron, a certain Dr. T., who became very much enam ored ot a young lady in the same town. In due course of time they were engaged to be married. The doctor was a strong decided Presbyterian, and his lady love a strong, decided Baptist. They were sitting together one evening, talking of their approaching nuptials, when he remarked, “ My dear, there are two events which I shall number among the happiest of my life ” “ And pray what may they be,Doctor?” asked the la dy ; “ One is the hour when I shall call you my wife the first time.” And the other, il you please.” “It is when we shall present our first born for baptism.” What, sprinkled.” “Yes my dear, sprinkled!” “Every child of mine’ shall be sprinkled.” “They shall be, his!” “ Yes, my love.” “ Well, sir, I can tell you then that your babies won’t be my babies. ” So good night, sir.” The lady left the room, and the Doctor left the house. The sequel to this true story, was that the Doctor never married, and the lady is an old maid. The Poison of Rattlesnakes. —At a late meeting of the Boston Society of Natural Histo ry, a paper was read showing that this poison is a most powerful sedative, and that stimulants were its antidotes. Alcohol is designated. In two instances in which this remedy has been applied, the persons have been cured. Brandy was freely given to them until relieved from the usual symptoms, and continued in smaller doses until the third day, when they went about as usual. Alcohol, in these cases, did not produce intoxication. ”1 he venom of rattlesnakes is now employed as a remedy, and is already found to be a specific for very many maladies. Mark, says a sensible writer, the laboring man,-who breakfasts at six, and then walks per haps two or three miles to his work. He is full of health, and a stranger to doctors. Mark, on the other hand, your clerk, who takes tea and toast at eight, and gets down to the store at nine, or half past. He is a pale, effeminate creature, full of sarsaparilla, and patent worm medicine, and pills and things. What a pity it is that this class of people do not lay down the yardstick and the scissors, and take up the scythe or the frail for a year or two. By remaining in their present occupation, they only help to fill up cemeteries, and that’s about as miserable use of humanity as you can name. Likely Young Negroes at Private Safe.

Farrell’s This celebrated medicine, skilfully composed as it is of the most healing balsams and penetrating oils, can never fail to cure almost eve ry affliction that could be alleviated by an exter nal remedy. Its superiority over all other Lini ments is proven by the miraculous cures it performs and by the great and constantly increasin» de mand. There has been sold within the pastures more than THREE MILLIONS OF BOTTLES and there can be but few persons found who do i not bestow upon it the highest praise for the rare virtues it possesses. Nothing, perhaps, since the creation of the world, has been so successful as an oxternal remedy for all nervous diseases, as this wonderful curative. When applied, it instanta neously diffuses itself through the whole system soothing the irritated nerves, allaying the most intense pains, and creating a most delightful sonsa sion. Read the following remarkable cure, which can be attested to by hundreds who were fully ac quainted with the whole circumstance. Chronic Enlargement of the Tonsils.— My ; ; daughter, when six months old, was taken with a § swelling in the tonsils, which grew larger and lar- ; gor, till when six years old had great difficulty in swallowing her food. Every night watch was kept, fearing she would suffocate.* The best doctors!,at tended her but could give no relief I took her to the most eminent doctors in the East; they said there was no help for her but to outgrow it. With asad heart I returned homo with her, when she became ! so much worse that the doctors had to be called in again ; they decided that the tonsils must be cut | off, as the only means of giving relief. My wife would not consent to this, and sho determined to try your Liniment, which gave relief the very first application, and by a continued uso she entire ly recovered. She is now ten years old and fleshy , and healthy as could bo desired. Your Liniment ’ is also the best in use for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns, headache, etc., and it will remove the most severe pain in a sow mutes. It also cured caked udder in my cow in a few days.
