Unbroken over swamp and hill The rounding shadow lay, Save where the river cut at will A pathway to the day. Beside that track of air and light, Weak as a child unweaned, At shut of day a Christian knight Upon his henchman leaned. The embers of the sunset fires Along the clouds burned down ; “I see," he said, “the domes and spirts Os Norembega town.” “Alack ! the domes, O, master mine, Are golden clouds on high; Yon spire is but the branchless pine That cuts the evening sky.” “Oh hush and hark ! What sounds are these But chants aud holy hymns ?” “Thou hearest the breeze that stirs the trets Through all their leafy limbs. “Is it a chapel bell that tills The air with its low tone?” “Thou hearest the tinkle of the rills, The insect’s vesper drone.” “The Christ be praised ! lie sets for me A blessed cross in sight!” “Now, nay, ’tis but yon blasted tree With two gaunt arms outright!” “Be it w ind sp sad or tree so stark, It mattereth not, my knave: Methiuks to funeral hymns I hark, The cross is for my grave! “My life is sped; I shall not see My home-set sails again; The sweetest eyes of Normandie Shall watch for me in vain “Yet onward still to ear and eye The bathing marvel calls; I fain would look before 1 die On Norembega’s walls. “So, haply, it shall be thy part At Christian feet to lay The mystery of the desert’s heart My dead hand plucked away. “Leave me au hour of rest; go thou And look from yonder heights; Perchance the valley even now Is starred with city lights.” The henchman climbed the nearest hill— He saw not tower nor town, “But, through the drear woods, lone and still The river rolling down. He heard the stealthy feet of things Whose shapes he could not see, A flutter as of evil wings, The fall of a dead tree. The pines stood black against the moon, A sword of tire beyond ; He heard the wolf howl, and the loon Laugh from his reedy pond. He turned him back: “O, master dear, We are but men misled : And thou hast sought a city here To find a grave instead.” " “As God shall will! what matters where A true man’s cross may stand, So heaven be o’er it, here as there In pleasant Norman land? “These woods, perchance, no secret hide Os lordly tower and hall; You river, in its wanderings wide Has washed no city wall; “Yet mirrowed in the sullen stream The holy stars are given. Is Norembega, then, a dream, Whose waking is in heaven ? “No budded wonder of these lands My weary eyes shall see ; A city never made with hands Alone awaiteth me— ‘l Urbs tiyon mystica I see y Its mansions passiug fair. Condita ado let me be, Hear Lord, a dweller there.” Above the dying exile hung The vision of the bard. As faltered on his failing tougue The song of good Bernard. The liencbmari dug at dawn a grave, Beneath the hemlocks brown, And to the desert’s keeping gave The lord of fief aud town. Years after, when the Sieur Champlain Sailed up the mystic stream, Aud Norembega proved again A shadow and a dream, He found the Norman’s nameless grave Within the hemlock’s shade, And, stretching wide its arms to save, The sign that God had made — The cross-houghed tree that marked the spot And made it holy ground; He needs the earthly city not Who hath the heavenly found ! •Norembega, or Norimbegue, is the name given by early French fishermen or explorers to a fabulous country south of Cape Breton, first discovered by Verazzani, in 1524. It was supposed to have a mag nificent city of the same name on a great river, probably the Penobscot. The site of this barbaric city is laid down on a map published at Antwerp in 1570. In 1004, Champlain sailed in search of the Northern’ El Dorado, tweuty-two leagues up the Penobscot from the Isle Haute. He supposed the river to be that of Norembega, but wisely came to the conclusion that those travelers who told of the great city had never seen it. He saw no evidences of anything like civilization, but mentions the finding of a cross, very old and mossy, in the woods. THE THREE SOULS. CONCLUDED. “ Villain !” cried I, “how have you dared to raise your hand against your fellow creature to satisiy your infamous curiosity? I will give you up to jus tice I” He was so much surprised at my at tacks—for to him his act seemed per fectiy innocent—that at first he offered no resistance; and I dragged him eas ily to the ladder. But, there, turning on me with astonishing quickness, he in turn seized me by the throat, lifted me from the floor, and with one hand held me tight against the wall, while with the other he opened the door of that terrible hole. Seeing his intention, I made a frantic effort to break away, but in vain, for he seemed endowed with superhuman strength. After a desperate struggle I felt myself again lifted oif my feet and hurled into space, while in my ears rang these strange words: “So perish the rebellious flesh ! So triumph the immortal soul 1” There I lay, bruised and exhausted on the floor of this chamber of horrors, while the heavy door was closed on me, shutting out the grayish light of the garret. Caught thus, like a rat in a trap, my consternation was such that I uttered not a single cry. Slowly raising my self up, and leaning my back against the wall for support, “ Kasper,” said I, “ now you must either devour the old woman or else be devoured by her.— Make your choice! It will bo only lost time trying to get out of this hole. Wolfgang has you in his clutches: ho ou S°- f'he walls are stone an d*tti'e floor is of oak ; no one saw you cross the quarter of the Tanners; no one would think of looking for you here It is finished, Kasper—it is finished. - Poor Catharine Wogel is your last re source, or rather you are' the last re source, the one to the other.” All this passed through my mind like a flash ; and, when at the same mo ment the pale lace of Wolfgang, with his little lamp, appeared at the opening above, I tried to supplicate him, but only stammered horribly, and not a word came from my trembling lips.” Seeing this he began to laugh, and, in the silence, I could hear him saying, “ The coward ! he implores me 1” * This was my finishing stroke. I tell face downward on the floor, and it was only the fear of being attacked by the old woman that kept me from swoon ing. She, however, had not as yet moved, or in the least manifested her presence. The fa:e of Wolfgang was withdrawn ; but I could hear the ma niac walking too and fro in his garret. My ear was so quick that the slightest noise did not escape me. I heard the old woman utter a kind of yawn, and turning round, I perceived for the first time her eyes glittering in the darkness. At the same time Wolfgang descend ed the ladder ; and I counted his steps one by one until they died away in the distance. Where was the wretch go ing ? I knew not; but through all the day and following night ho did not re turn. It was not until the morrow, at about eight o'clock in the evening, at a mo ment when the old woman and myself were shrieking to make the very walls tremble, that he came back. I had not once closed my eyes during the night I no longer felt either fear or anger, but only a devouring hunger, which 1 knew would increase all the time. When I heard the faint noise in the garret I became silent, and looking up saw by the brightness coming through the opening, that Wolfgang was light ing his lamp. I doubted not that he would come to see me; and with this hope I prepared a touching supplica tion. But the light was extinguished and no one came. This was the most frightful moment of all. I seemed o feel my hair whiten upon my head— which it really did at this very mo ment—until at length my agony be came such that I lost all consciousness About midnight I was aroused from this stupor by feeling something touch mv body. I started up from my position with disgust. The old woman had ap proached, urged on by hunger. Her hands were on my clothes, and at the same moment the cry, as of a cat, filled the place, and sent a cold shivering through my whole body. I expected she would attack me, but the poor old wretch had not strength enough left; this was her fifth day ! Then the words of Wolfgang return ed to my mind ; “As soon as the animal soul becomes exhausted, the vegetable soul gets the advantage; the hair and nails grow under the ground ; the green moss takes root in the openings of the skull” I pictured to myself the old woman reduced to this state —her skull covered with moldy lichen, and myself, ly'ng near her, our souls intertwining their vegetation, the one with the other, alone in the silent darkness! This image took such possession of my mind, that I scarcely felt any long er the gnawings of hunger. Stretched out against the wall, my eyes wide open, I stared before me into the empty space. As I lay thus more dead than alive, a faint light penetrated the surrounding darkness. I raised my eyes. The pale face of Wolfgang appeared at the open ing. He did not laugh ; he seemed to experience neither joy nor satisfaction ; he merely observed me with a cold, pitiless eye. Thus we remained, our eyes fixed upon one another—l, fear stricken—he cold, calm, attentive, as though looking at some lifeless object. The insect, pierced by a needle, which we look at through a microscope, if ho could think, if he could understand the man’s eye, would havejust such a vision as I then had. I saw that prayer would be worse than useless, and I said nothing. After scanning me thus, the maniac turned his head in order to look at the old woman. I followed mechanically the direction of his gaze. What I saw the human tongue cannot express; a face ghastly meagre; the limbs shrivel ed, and so sharp that they soemod about to pierce the rags which covered them ; something shapeless, frightful—a death's head, the hair matted around the skull like long withered grass, and in the midst of this, two eyes burning with the fever light, and two long yel low teeth ; and, horrible to tell, I saw two snails crawling over this living skeleton. Then, closing my eyes with a convul sive sigh, I said to myself, “That is what you will be in five days!” When I again opened my eyes, the light was gone. “Wolfgang,” cried I, “God is above us —God sees us ; His curse be upon you !” My worse suffering was from thirst; at this point it was intolerable. When the first uncertain lightof the morning appeared, suddenly a wild fury seized upon me. “ The villian is there,” said I to my self; “ he has some bread, a pitcher of water —he drinks!” Then I imagined him raising the pitcher to his lips. I seemed to see the torrents of water pass slowly down his throat, It was a delicious stream, which flowed—flowed unceasingly; and I saw the throat of the wretch rise and fall vo luptuously with the refreshing current. Anger, despair, indignation, seized me, and l began to run round my prison crying out, “Water, water, water!” And the old woman roused up, repeat ing after me, “Water, water, water !” In the midst of this scene, the face of Wolfgang appeared for the third time at the opening. Then stopping I said to him; “ Wolfgang listen ; let mo drink only one draught from your pitcher, and you may leave me to die of hunger. 1 will not reproach you !” And I wept. Then 1 went on, “ Your immortal soul will answer for this before God. Yes, for the life of this old woman. But I have studied, and I find your system very fine. I admire it. Let me only take a drink of water. 1 have never seen so sublime a conception as yours. It is certain the three souls exist. Yes, I will proclaim it. I will be your firm adherent. Won’t you let me take a single swallow’ of water ?” He drew back from the opening with out answering. My exasperation then knew no bounds. I leaped against the wall, bruising myself. I called upon the wretch in the hardest terms I could com mand. In the midst of this fit of fury, sud denly 1 noticed that the old woman had sunk down all in a heap, and the idea came into my head of drinking her blood. “What need has she of blood ?” said I to myself. “She must soon perish, any way. If I delay, all her blood will be dried up!" lied Dames passed before my eyes ; and, as 1 bent toward the old woman, my strength gave out, and 1 fell near her in a swoon. How long I remained unconscious 1 know not. I was roused by a strange circumstance,the remembrance of w r hich will remain with me always: I was awakened from the swoon by the plain tive howding of a dog—by a cry more piteous, more moving than that of a human being. I rose, my face bathed in tears, not knowing whence these cries came, so suitable to my own agony. I listened, and judge of my astonishment w hen I found that it was I myself that lamented thus, without being aware of it. The animal soul! Here was the expla nation ! I rom this moment all remembrance ceases. All that 1 know is, that I re mained two days longer in my prison house, under the eye of the maniac, whose enthusiasm at seeing the triumph of his idea was such, that he did not hesitate to call in several of our philos ophers, that he might witness their sur prise.

V MELANCHOLY CASE OK DOMESTIC INCO.N GENIA LIT V. Eloquent ami Touching Opinion from Chancellor Woolley. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. The divorce case of Lucy Gray vs Wra. M. Gray, in the Chancery Court, lias ex cited considerable comment in conse quence of some of its peculiar features, and the opinion rendered by Chancellor VVoi.l ley has given it more than usual promi nence. Tlie opinion is peculiar, too. It has few or none of the dry |old phrases common to the edicts of courts, aud is comparatively a novel piece of work. It embraces all the facts in the case, and we give it here entire : LOUISVILLE CHANCEKY COURT. ,ra y ) Opinion and order re - William M. Gray. J niululi,, « to rule9 * This case exposes and illustrates the ju dicial error in granting divorces for trivial or undefined causes. At the first reading of the voluminous record I thought that, contrary to my idea of ethical rules and civil policy, I should be forced to separate two peopie who had agreed to live together by every bond that is sanctioned by all laws which men obey. An earnes* and able appeal in the writ ten argument by the young and worthy counsel for the defendant induced a second readiug of the record, aud the case is alto gether different from that which I thought it was. I see it now. In March, 1806, a marriage was solemn ized between two young people of good standing in social life. The husband was a physician, not more than tweuly-live years did, and commanded an unusually large practice for one of that age. He was remarkable for iris industry, thrift, generosity and religious habits. The young counsel who lias defended him so ably in this case was his school male, and l lay much stress upon his earnest statement that the defendant was Ia manly fellow while at school. The respected minister of the church of whbfli the defendant was a member de clares tlint he was aud is a gentle Christ ian. aud a good citizen. r-ix or eight witnesses of undoubted character testify fully to tlie excellence of the defendant as a man, and to his just conduct as a husband. Looking at him simply through the testimony of his wit nesses, he not only does not deserve a shameful decree divorcing him from the wife whom he says tie still loves, but he is au example for many husbands to follow. The plaintiff was a young girl not more than twenty years of age. Her father was a gentleman in social rank, and possess ing a comfortable estate of seventy-five or one hundred thousand dollars, bhe re ceived an excellent education, and all her witnesses (not less than ten) describe her as gentle, tender and loving. The two young people married, worthy then, and with a future which seemed propitious. The husband had the consent of his family, and the wife more than the approbation of hers, for her brother took an active part to secure the alliance. They had but one child ; that lived long enough for the father aud mother to see their images reflected from a common ob ject of mingled love. Scarcely two years bad passed before the wife filed her bill in this court, charging that her husband was cruel and inhuman, and praying that the bonds by which they were united might be broken forever. The husband answered, and declared that he always loved his wife, and that he could not tie cruel to her. Her witnesses, not less than ten in num ber, proved that he was cruel, inhuman, and mean, and that she was faithful, suf fering, patient, and tender His witnesses, almost as numerous, prove that he was affectionate, attentive, laborious, aud loving his wife above aii tilings ; and that she was a petulant, quar relsome, and insupportable termagant. Two of them go so far as to say that she waved a white handkerchief from her win dow to allure young men on the street. Mow is this ? The answer is easy. The husband was not cruel and inhuman. The wife was not petulent and quarrelsome ; and the story of the white haudkerchief should not have been foisted by family passion into the record, because it is false. Had these two people been allowed to live aud love together they would still be faithful to the vows they offered, which received a sanction higher than that given by human law. All her witnesses who proved anything are her family, her physician, her family friends, or the enemies of her husband’s family. All of his are of exactly the same char acter. Each family seemed to think it was its right and duty to govern and control plaintiff aud defendant, or to make them hate each other aud them separate. I never knew two sironger swearers titan the brother of i lie plaintiff and the broth er of the defendant. The tribes became hostile, and these two people, so young, and so bound by every thing to make man and woman love each other, became the objects which were used to gratify family rivalry, hate and spite. Aud now, without crime, but merely misguided, with affections withered, vow’s broken, and the future blackened, I am invoked to perpetuate this shame, and let the man go marry another woman, and let the woman go marry another man, I will not do it. Andi have not given the only reason. The civil law is supreme on this bench. If the Chancellor believe in other laws which conflict with and are superior to file civil law, he must abandon his opin iocs or his place. This is a place solely for human justice according to human law. But, if discretion be allowed—and in cases of divorce tfie Chancellor has large discretion—then all laws cau be consulted which elevate mankind and advance moral civilization. Under such circum stances, what he thinks becomes the Jaw of the cast. I have my views, and, not now wholly fettered by merely human statutes, I will enforce them to the iionor of society. Throughout the civilized world great temples have been erected and consecrated to the enforcement of a creed which de clares that there are other laws besides human which govern the sacred contract of marriage. If I were to declare that creed to he true I should go beyond my business. Were fto deny that it is true, I should be unlit for this place. But many wiser and better than I believe it, and I must be care’ul lest I offend a law higher than that administered in this Court, and usurp a jurisdiction higher than mine. Better to be careful in tearing assunder bonds which may be suable elsewhere To dismiss this suit might not be right. The proper course to take is to leave a locus penitentice. This is the spring, aud if they will go to the grave of their dead child they will find flowers there; aud fiowers suggest torgi venUssaud love. T hey may yet ob literate from the past all that was painful, aud obtain.from She futuie all that was so brightly promised. Let Hie case go to rules. R. W. Woolley, Chancellor pro tcm. EXCITING GALLOWS HCKNe'. •# \ * Tlie Governor Telegraphed to for a lle-plte—The ( riliiiimlH Walt Five Minute* with the Hope Around Their Necks. From tho Weldon (N. O.) News, May 29. Yesterday being the day for tile execu tion of Gus Hiker and Jim Thomas, two Wade Ditcher murderers, at Halifax, early in the day crowds of blacks and a goodly number of whitts commenced assembling in the town of Halifax, with the vain hope of seeing the execution. The murder is acknowledged to have been a most atrocious one, and as the guilt of the parties was not questioned, but little or no sympathy was manifested on any band. All the preparations necessary for the hanging had been made, au enclosure some fifteen feet high having been erected in front of the jail, with a rough but sub stantial scaffold erected at the southern end of it. Up to Thursday the prisoners had enter tained some hopes of a respite or the con tinuing of the sentence, but upon the ar rival of the respite for George Bayliue, and refusal of the Governor to interfere in the execution of ttiesentence upon Baker and Thomas, the two latter resigned all hope; but the manner of expressing their feel ings was rather strange, for, instead of complaining of his own fate, Baker lost sight of this, and heaped curses loud and bitter upon George Bay line (who was oc cupying a different cell), aud said there was no justice in hanging him and Thomas, and respiting Bayliue, when all three were convicted on the same evidence. Such were his feelings that we think he would have murdered Bay line had the op portunity tieen offered. His appearance was that of a demon, and exhibited the true character of the man. The cause of tliits hatred against Bayliue springs from the confession made by the latter a few days since, and which they declare to be false. Thursday night they spent in en deavoring to court sleep, but without ef fect, except in one instance Thomas slept for a few moments, from which he was aroused as from a terrible dream. Friday morning came, and, as far as they knew, they witnessed for the last time the sun gladden the earth with its rays. Breakfast was served them, but they ate nothing, only drinking a cup of coffee. Baker asked for a julep, which was furnished him, and he drank “the health and long life” of those around him. Between the hours of 12 and 1 the exe cution was to take place; 11 o’clock ar rived, and with it a dispatch from Gov. Holden’s Secretary, at Raleigh, demand ing that the prisoners be not hung until Friday, the 4th of Juue next, stating that the respite would be forwarded by mall. Sheriff John A. Reid refused to acknow ledge this dispatch as official, and so tele graphed Holden’s Secretary. Shortly af ter 12 o’clock a second dispatch was re ceived from Raleigh, requesting the Sheriff to stay tlie execution to the last moment; Gov. H< lden, who was in Baltimore, had again been telegraphed to. At half past 12 o’clock, the sheriff arrived at the jail grounds, aud proceeded to arrange for the execution. During this time the excite ment had been intense, owing to the vari ious dispatches, and the probabilities whether the Sheriff would recognize any dispatch as valid. The respite which came in the morning was in answer toari urgent request from Mr, A.Conigland, one of the prisoners’ counsel, (but which application was made without tlie knowledge of the prisoners themselves) who desired that time should be given Gus Baker to see a Catholic priest, he (Baker) having ex pressed an earnest desire io have one with him Beforeexecuted, Mr.Coniglaudhaving telegraphed Gov. Holden early yesterday morning. But the Sheriff having declared his intention to hang them, regardless of Horner's telegram, at 12 o’clock, Mr. Co niglaud, accompanied by two ladies, visit ed the prisoners’ cell and read the services of the Catholic Church to them, and pray ing wilii them, until interrupted by tbe entrance of Deputy Sheriff Horace Reid, tlio rites of Lu],t>uua being administered after the prisoners were tied. The an nouncement that the hanging .was about to take place, caused the swaying masses outside to sway against the wall and move to and fro —only some fifty witnesses being inside, including several members of the press, physicians, and the number allowed by law. Tlie prisoners were then led forth into the yard, and walked, apparently cool, upon the scaffold. Baker was dressed iu white pants, whitesiiirtand whitegloves; Thomas iu the same manner, witii the exception of colored pants. Sheriff Reid, assisted by Deputy-Sheriff Horace Reid, then adjusted the rtqies around their necks, placed the caps over their facts, and deatli seemed inevitable. But a few minutes remained until the expiration of the time allotted, and the Sheriff declared his intention of waiting five minutes to see if any further dispatches should come. At this juncture the prisoners’ counsel claimed that the time had expired, and demanded that the prisoners couid not be hung after that time without a-, positive violation of the law, and that by so doing tlie Sheriff would lay himself liable. The Sheriff’s own tttne wanted nine minutes of one, and many bystanders sustained him. Considerable excitement prevailed, tbe Sheriff avowing his determination to hang the prisoners within the time which his watch called for. but when this matter was being warmly discussed, the prisoners in tlie meantime standing ready to be launched into eternity, wanting only the knocking from beneath them the prop which held their life as if by a thread, a dispatch came in from Governor Holden, worded as follows; 2 Baltimore, Md., May 28,1869. To the Sheriff of Halifax County, N. C. : Jn response to the urgent request of Mr. Conigland, the criminals, Tiiomas aDd Baker, are hereby respited until the 4th (lay of June next, on which day they will he executed. VV. W. Holden, Governor of North Carolina. The Sheriff at once declared his inten tion to recognize this dispatch, aud this of course put au end to the dispute, though tlie excitement was hut little abated—a pistoi being fired at the moment (claimed to be accidental) by Representative Hays, who had brought tbe dispatch in. Borne one iu the crowd outside cried, “Come down, Baker!” to which Baker responded (recognizing the voice), “Oh, my Dudley, thank God.” The prisoners were then re leased from their cap and rope, and quietly conducted back into their cell—to be exe cuted on Friday next, for the murder of Wade Ditcher in this place, unless again they receive Executive clemency, which is by no means probable. In the mean time a priest will be sent for to administer tlie proper rites to the condemned. Aud thus ended what came near being an exe cution, forming iu its details one of the most singular events we have ever wit nessed. MORE KEROSENE ACCIDENTS. When will people learn to use kerosene oil with care? Here are two items, clipped from the Charleston Courier, in which paper the last appears without credit: Melancholy Accident. —Last even ing about nine o’clock a kerosene lamp exploded in a room over tLie store at the cornerof Kingstreetand Horlbeck’s Alley, occupied by Mr. I). W. Goeljen as a gro cery store. Mrs. Goetjen was standing beside the bureau at the time, and upou tiie explosion of the lamp her clothes caught fire. She immediately ran into the bed room, and the lire was communi cated to the bedding. The alarm brought the engines to the spot, and the flames were soon extinguished by the firemen without the assistance of their engines, not, however, before Mrs. Goetjen had been severely burnt. She was removed to an adjoining building, and soon received medical assistance, hut the unfortunate sufferer at the time of writing was very ill, and but slight hopes were entertained of her recovery. More Victims of Kerosene — A hor rible accident occurred at the Supeiior Mine, Wisconsin, recently. Mrs. Dwyer, while at'empting to light a fire in the cook-stove, resorted to the kerosene can ; and, while pouring oil in among th • coals it exploded. Her clothes were saturated with oil, and the fire enveloped her entire person. She ran outside of the house and nearly succeeded in extinguishing the fire, when, all of a sudden, the thought struck her that two of her little girls, one two aud the other twelve years old, were still in the house; whereupon she rushed to the children, took tire a second time, and burned almost to a crisp. Site succeeded iu rescuing the oldest from the flames, not until badly burned, but the other little girl was burned to ashes. Nothing was found after the fire except some bones.

JEf.KN Scrofula, or King’s Evil, is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pci vaden the whole bod}, mid may hurst out in disease on any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. What ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con stitution, descending “ from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation ; ” indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, “ I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their cliildren.” Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu tions not only sufler from scrofulous com plaints, hut they have far less power to with stand the attacks of other diseases; conse quently vast numbers Ppcrish by disorders which, although not scrofulous in their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system, ilost of the consumption which de cimates the human family has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination; and many destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; their persons are invaded by this lurking in fection, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and in vigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in AYER’S Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, the mast effectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this every where prevailing ami fatal malady. It is com bined from the most active remedials that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the system from its destructive consequences. Hence it should be employed for the cure of not only Scrofula, but also those other affec tions which arise from it, such as Eruptive and Skin Diskasis, St. Anthony’s Fire, Hose, or Erysipkt.as, Pimples, Pitstci.es, Bi.otchp.s. Blatns and Boms, Tcmoks, Tetter and Salt Riikcm, Sc.u.n Head, Ringworm, Khkumahk.m, Syphilitic and Mkrcuiual Dis eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Deiiii.ity, and, indeed, ale Complaints arising from Vitia ted or Impure Blood. The popular belief in “impurity of the blood" is founded in truth, for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of tliis Sarsapa rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions. -A.-Y EE’S Ague Cure, *OR THE SPEEDY CERE OF Intermittent Fevec ( or Fever anil Aerne. Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb Ague, Period leal Ileadaelie, or Bilious Ileadaehe, and Bilious Fevers. Indeed for the whole e lass of il I sea ses or iglna t lnf( In biliary derangement, caused by tire Malaria of Miasmatic Countries. We are enabled here to offer the community a remedy which, while it cures the above complaints with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in districts where these afflicting disorders prevail. This “Cure" expels the miasmatic poison of Fever AND Ague from the system, and prevents the de velopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap proach of its premonitory symptoms. It is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the reach of every body ; and in bilious districts, where Fever and Ague prevails, every body should have it and use it freely both for cure ana protec tion. A great superiority of this remedy over any other ever discovered for the speedy and certain cure of Intermittents is that it contains no Quinine or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu- Ition. t'l hose cured by it are left as healthy as if they had never had the disease. Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor ders arise from its irritation, among which are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal pitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hyster ics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis and De rangement of the Stomach, all of which, when originating in this cause, put on the intermittent type, or become periodical. This “ Cure ” expels the poison from the blood, and consequently cures them all alike. It is an invaluable protection to immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa sionally or daily while exposed to the infection, that will be excreted from the system, and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec tion than cure, and few will ever suffer fr.,m Inter mittents if they avail themselves of the prcU-tion this remedy affords. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

In a great many cases a single dose ha* been sufficient for a cure and whole families have been cared by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, p rudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller and ses lor a week or two af’er the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long standing cases.

However, I am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thuusau-g of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that ur port to cure all manner of disiase to which human flesh is heir.
