Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs, such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma, and Consumption. Probably never before in the whole history of merliWie, has anything won so widely and so deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long series of years, and among most of the races of men it has risen higher and higher in their estima tion, as it has become better known. Its uniform character and power to cure the various affectws ol the lungs and throat, have made it known as are- W»W e protector against them. While adapted to JxTrf.TSf' < fe ase aml *° young children, it is gerous afl'er.tions of the throat ;uiil’l0il2§! i vision agains^udden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on li.wl in every family, and indeed as all are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all should be provided with this antidote for them. Although settled Consumption is thought in curable, still great numbers ol cases where the dis ease seemed settled, have been completely cured, and the patient restored to sound health by the Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When noth ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pec toral they subside aud disappear. Singers anti Public Speakers find great pro tection from it. Asthma is always relieved and often wholly- cured by it. Ifronrhitis is generally cured by taking the Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses. So generally are its virtues known that we need not publish the certificates of them here, or do more than assure the public that its qualities are fully maintained.

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thick ened, falling hair checked, and bald ness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

J* 0 1 ’ 1,1 ly- The Date of the Crucifixion.— Herr Kaib, the German savant, in a work recently published shows that there was a total eclipse of the moon concomitantly with the earthquake that occurred when Julius Caesar was assassinated, on the 15th of March, B C., 44. He has also calculated the Jewish calendar to A. D-, 41, and the result of his researches fully confirms the facts recorded by the evangelists of the wonderful physical events that accompanied the crucifixion. Astron omical calculations prove, without a shadow of doubt, that on the 14th day of the Jewish month, Nisan, (April 6), there was a total eclipse of the sun, which was accompanied in all probability by the earthquake, “when the veil of the temple was rent from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rock rent.” (Mat thew xxxii, 51). Y/hile St. Luke de scribes the eclipse in these words :— And it was the sixth hour, (12 noon), and there was a darkness over all the land till the ninth hour, (3 o’clock p. m), and the sun was darkened.” (Luke xxii, 44). This mode of reckoning corresponds perfectly with the result of another calculation our author made by reck oning backward from the great eclipse of April 1318, allowing for the ditfer- ence between the old and new styles, which also give April 6 as the date of the new moon in the year A. D. 31.— As the vernal equinox of the year fell on March 25, and the Jews ate their Fassoh,' or’ reaSu Gi Vmi the following new moon, it is clear April 6 was identified with Nisan 14, of the Jewish calendar, which, more over, was on Friday, the Paraskecce. or day of preparation for the Sabbath, and this agrees with the Hebrew Tal mud. Titus, by the united testimony of astronomy, archaaeology, traditional ami Biblical history, there can be but little doubt that the date of the cru cifixion was April 6, A. D. 31. THE AI.HA.HBBA. The city of Granada, in Andalusia, the most southern province of Spain, was built in the tenth century, by the Moors ; and in 1235, after having pre viously belonging to the kingdom of Cordova, it became the capital of a new empire. All the houses were sup plied with running water, and in every street, through the munificence of suc cessive sovereigns, there were copious fountains for public convenience, and for the performance of religious ablu tions. In short, it is added, whatever could tend to promote convenience and comfort was to be found in Gran ada. But Granada was not only noteff for its pleasantness, its comforts, its abundance, and the glories of its archi tecture, but as the principal seat of Arabian learning, art, and science. Its library was highly celebrated, and the names and works are on record of 120 the AfiRirtLTIRAI.

Gadders and Visitants.—We are willing to barter our good time with a friend, who gives us in exchange his own. Herein is the distinction be tween the genuiue guest and the visi tant. This latter takes your good time, and gives you his bad in ex change. The guest is domestic to you as your good cat or household bird ; the visitant is your fly, that flaps in at your window, and out again, leaving nothing but a sense of disturbance, and victuals spoiled. Visitants al ways show their genius, in knocking the moment you have just sat down to a book. They have a peculiar compassionate sneer, with which they “hope that they do not interrupt your studies.” Though they flutter off the next moment, to carry their imp rti- nences to the nearest student that they can call their friend, the tone of the book is spoiled ; we shut the leaves, aud with Dante’s lovers, read no more that day. It were well if the effect of intrusion were simply coex tensive with its presence ; but it mars all the good hours afterward. These scratches in appearance leave an ori fice that closes not hastily. “It is a prostitution of the bravery of friend ship,” says worthy Bishop Taylor, “to spend it upon impertinent people, who are, it may be loads to tlieii families, but can never ease my loads.” This is the secret of their gaddings, their visits, .and morning calls. They too have homes, which are—no homes. How touching is this tribute of Hon. T. II. Benton, to his mother’s influ ence : “My mother asked me never to use tobacco ; I have never touch ed it from that time to the present day. She asked me never to gamble, and I have never gambled ; I cannot tell who is losing in games that are be ing played. She admonished me, too, against hard drinking; and whatever capacity for endurance I have at pres ent, and whatever usefulness I have attained through life, I have atiribu- ted to having complied with her pious and correct wishes. When I was sev en years of age she asked me not to drink, aud then I made a resolution of total abstinence; and that I have ad hered to it through all time, 1 owe to my mother.” That bearded three : year old baby is now located in Florida. Last week it was in Tennessee. Like the needle woman, it is destined to make the run of all tbe States and then take tbe principal cities seriatim. The Art of Not Hearing.—The art of not hearing is fully as impor tant to domestic happiness as a culti vated ear, for which so much time and money is expended. There are so ma ny things which is painful to hear, many of which, if heard, will disturb the temper and detract from content ment and happiness, that every one should be educated to take in or shut out sounds at will. If a man falls in to a violent passion and calls me all manner of names, the first word shuts my ears, and I hear no more. If in my quiet voyage of life I am caught Ol SUVIUlUg'f X OlluV • is j - Vnv* scrj Vato V* OUIIVM would furl his sail, and, making all tight, scud before the gale. If a hot and restless man begins to inflame my feelings, I consider what mischief these sparks might do in the magazine below, where my temper is kept, and iustantly close the door. Does a gad ding, mischief-making fellow begin to inform me what people are saying about me, down drops the portcullis of my ear, and he cannot get in any farther. Some people feel very anx ious to hear everything that will vex or annoy them, they set about search ing and finding it out. If all the pet ty things said of one by the heedless or illnatured idlers were to be brought home to him, he would become a mere walking pincushion, stuck full of sharp remarks. I should as soon thank a man for emptying on my head a bush el of nettles, or setting loose a swarm of mosquitoes in my chamber, or rais ing a pungent dust in my house gen erally, as to bring upon me all the tat tle of spiteful people. If you would be happy when among good men open your ears ; when amoug bad, shut them. It is not worth while to hear what your servants say when they have slammed the door ; what a beg gar says whose petition you have re jected ; what your neighbors say about your children ; what your rivals say about your business or dress. I have noticed that a well-bred woman never bears an impertinent remark, A kind of discreet deafness saves one from many insults, from much blaine, from not a little apparent connivance in dis honorable conversation. Girls.—It is in the power of young^ girls to make themselves very dear and very useful to their married friends, and to render them such services as are beyond all price. In times of sick ness and of sorrow, the sympathy and presence of a beloved female friend are among the best of heaven’s gifts ; while she who ministers to the afflic ted, is as much blessed as blessing.— Let no young person stay away from a friend who is ill or in affliction, from the fear that her inexperience will render her company undesirable ; all who have strong affections, and a ready power of sympathy, can make themselves acceptable, and, endeavor ing to do so, will increase their own happiness. Never let mere conven ience iqjluce you to stay at the houses of persons whom you cannot esteem ; by so doing, you bring on yourself an irksome obligation : you take on your self the duties of a friend, without having the sentiments that would make their discharge easy. John Quincy Adams puts it well.— He says : “The present Administration is do ing more to permanently disunite the States than Jefferson Davis ever did ; it’s chief, we are told, can conceive of no means of free government but mil itary force, and no motive of public ac tion but private profit.” ble aid to the labors of this office and to the objects generally of the State Agricultural Society, are requested to publ sh this notice, and call special at tention to the same. By order of the President. Da vrn \\J T O—1 _ IIow to Get Out of Bed.—Dr. Hall does not approve of the old-fash ioned doctrine which was in stilled into the minds of children— namely, that they should spring out of bed the instant they awoke in the morning. He says that “up to eigh teen years every child should be allow- ep ten hours to be in bed. They may not require ten hours sleep, but time should be allowed to rest in bed, until they fee! as if they had rather get up than not. It is a very great and mis chievous mistake for persons, old or young, especially children, and feeble or sedentary persons, to bounce out of bed the moment they wake up ; all our instincts shrink from it, and fierce ly kick against it. Fifteen or twenty minutes spent in gradually waking up, after the eyes are opened, and in turn ing over and stretching the limbs, do as much good as sound sleep, because these operations set the blood in mo tion by degrees tending to equalize the circulation ; for during sleep the blood tends to stagnation, the heart beats feebly and slow ; and to shock the system by bouncing up in an in stant and sending the blood in over powering quantities to the heart, causing it to assume a gallop, when the instant before it was in a creep, is the greatest absurdity. This instan taneous bouucing out of bed as soon as the eyes are opened will be followed by weariness long before noon.” The Pyramids.—Col. James, in a recent lecture on the pyramids of Egypt, stated that in the King’* Cham ber, inside the pyramid, some of the stones were thirty feet long. These stones, weighing some ninety tons, were not fonnd in Egypt at all, but were brought down the Nile, a dis tance of five hundred miles, and then placed in their present position, one hundred feet above the level of the ground. In regard to their finish, these Syenite stones are among tbe hardest known ; and yet they are so exquisitely polished, and built ia to lorm a casing for the King’s Chamber with such superior skill, quence is excess and a similar state of offairs which would follow were a horse fed on corn and fodder to be turn ed into a clover or pea field.—Fanner and Gardener. that the finest piece of tissue paper‘*tie commenced to “write up” these could not be put between the joints, and this alter a lapse of over four thousand years. Such workmanship would excite the wonder and admira tion ol the world. Lumber'.—The demand for our Southern yellow pine lumber has in creased ten-fold since the war. It is taking the place of the eastern spruce and white pine. Most of this pine is shipped from Pensacola, Apalachicola, and Darien, Georgia. Wherever great strength is required, as in ships, facto ry girders, railroad cars, and bridges, this pine is invaijable. The Southern forests have diminished very little, owing to the growth of young trees. The New York lumber merchants have large orders at thirty-five dollars per 1,090 feet. U uucr duo Eldora Ledger says : “ There is no ta ble in the census blanks set forth to show how many “great men in pub lic life have reached eminence and wealth through the potentiality of the pen editorial. It would be rendering to Caesar, if honorable mention could be made of the obscure country edi tors, who have used their ink to build up the town, their brains to elevate some insignificant country merchant, or first-class demagogue to seats in the Legislature or places in Congress. The press of Iowa is responsible for boast ing up more human frauds into high places than its conductors think. No more thankless occupation is known than that of the partisan editor, who in many cases has to eat dirt and go naked ; toil hard to keep the hands of an uncircumcised sheriff from his office ; who steps into the breach when char acter is to be lost, and contumely won; who is continually at work to make popular men and prominent can didates out of certain pismires, which abound in all neighborhoods. Per haps they never thank him for his pains, and certainly never remunerate him for the ink with which lie extols their honesty, talent and patriotism; and every week describes their imagin ary attributes of virtue, temperance and truth. Despite the fusilade of abuse from a dozen cowardly and jeal ous cotemporaries, he survives. By his trouble and favor these creatures are “ honorable men.” He is button holed by twenty of his patrons, who insist upon the pledges that they shall have his support for au office. They appeal to him by ties of party and consanguinity, and when he falieritigly declares that he cannot support them all at that time, each threatens him with a new? paper, also to stop their subscriptions, withdraw their adver tisements: and abuse the poor fellow like a very drab. He has spent his time, his money, and his good name to place these men in position. His pearls were cast before swine which turn and rend him. These men all grow in popularity and riches. In purse the Editor is poorer than when noble, self-sacrificing creatures, and his cares have increased a hundred foid. And these long, windy, worth less speeches, which he published dis gusting his readers, and lost for him many paying subscribers.” On the 22d of .May, A. D. 1809, Joseph R. Jones and wile deeded to Ulysses S. Grant, ninety-seven acres of Cook county land (Chicago is in Cook county), for the consideration of $1.— On the same day J. Russell Jones, of Chicago, was appointed United States Minister to Belgium, with a salary of $7,500 in gold. Is this tbe same Jones ?—MilwauJcie, Wis., News.
