Advertising tire Law ►
The Rome Southerner proposes, as a
remedy for the deplorable ignorance of
the acts of our Legislature among the
people, occasioned by the present delay j
in issuing and destributing them, that j
they be published one time in every pa I
per in the State. We made the same 1
Suggestion years ago, and most cordial
ly endorse it now. It is of paramount
importance that such intelligence
Should be in the hands of tire people—
and the newspapers afford the best 1
means of accomplishing that object.— j
The cost would be trifling, and it would
Ho doubt have a healthy etfeet on the

“ Wanted---A Wife?”
BY NETTIE NOBODY.
At tlie appointed hour, therefore, i
Alfred was again ushered by the polite
servant into the luxurious drawing
room, where he had passed through
such strange scenes and where he now,
previous to Kate’s entrance, diversified
the time by getting up an extra amount
of dignity. At length the young lady
came in, looking most demurely, yet
dressed most charmingly, and the flush
on her checks rendering her very love
ly, so that Alfred’s bow was uot quite
as stately as he had intended it to have
been, for he was evidently struck with
her beauty. Kate's bend of the head,
| however, was dignified in the cx
| treme, ami she motioned him toward
j a chair, while 6he seated herself on a
j safa opposite.
“ Ahem !—-Miss Forrester, I am here
this morning to—to—ahem—” here Al
fred broke down completely, and felt i
all the more embarrassed as he beheld
the perfect ease and composure of Kate.
Her eyes now began to shine with
mirth, but suppressing her smiles, she
said with the utmost calmness,
“Well, sir, proceed."
He rallied somewhat and was about
to try another mode of speech, when
her pretty hand, together with a pecu
liarly chased ring upon one of the fin
gers. caught liis attention. She saw bis
| glance, started, and threw her embroid
ered handkerchief over her hand, but
not quickly enough, for in an instant Al
! fred was up and standing before her,
J with a sudden, joyful light breaking
j in upon him.
“ Can it be possible that Miss Giles
j and Miss Forrester are one and the
[ same ? Yes, t see it all now, for so bean
i tiful a mouth does not often fall to the
:
lot of mortals,” he said gallantly, yet
j softly, for Kate was completely over
j whelmed now by the length to which
| she had carried her joke, and still more
by his discovery of it, and she sat there
| painfully embarrassed, with her head
j drooping, her hands over her face, and
1 her blushes even tinting her beautiful
| throat.
“ Nay, do not go, Miss Forrester,"
i continued Alfred, for she sprang up,
F evidently with the wish to escape. “Do
not go, I beg, but rather let us converse
j over this affair calmuly, now that we
’ understand each other,” and he took
* her hand for a moment, in order to seat
’ her, and then he placed himself beside
her.
“ I hope you will forgive any foolish
ness, Mr. Latimer,” began the confused
Kate : “Cousin Frank Hamilton read
me the advertisement and told me of
you. He knows nothing of this miser
able affair, however, nor does any one
hut—us.”
“Then lam a thousand time6obliged
to my friend Hamilton, for being the
unconscious cause of my present happi
ness, for,” he added, again taking her
hand gently, and this time retaining it,
“ we will, I presume, hold to our bar
gain of Saturday last!”
Kate started and exclaimed, “Oh,
no, no!”
“And why not ? Listen to me," and
Alfred,pitying poor Kate sincerely, spoke
calmnly and seriously. “ Eighteen
months ago Frank Hamilton and I be
came acquainted in the South, and X
heard him mention so frequently his
sweet cousin Kate, that I became half
in love with her. He, it happened, had
always omitted your surname, though
unintentionally of course, and I ne
glected to ask it. When I came to this
city, Frank was absent, and when he
returned, you were away, so the intend
ed introduction was delayed. You said
just now that he had told you of me,
therefore we are old friends, are we
not ? So if you are willing to accept
me upon this, I lay my poor heart at
your feet. I)o not turn away, dear
Kate,” he besought, with a manly ten
derness in his tone, “and think no
more of this foolish jest, excepting to
remember to it as having been the means
of rendering us happy. I trust. Look
at me, Kate."
Her drooping head was raised and she
turned her flushed face toward him tim- i
idly, her blue eyes brimming with tears. ;
Something in her looks permitted him
to hope, and when his arm, which stole ■
round h'er waist was not repulsc-d, then
he bent over and kissed the rosy mouth.
“ And now my sweet Kate, tell me
how you happened to say that j’our
mother was employed here as house
keeper, and that you were a country
girl?"
Kate laughed rogueishly. “Well,
now,” she exclaimed, “do you not sup
pose my dear mother really docs attend
to the household affairs of papa ? And
lam just from the country, where I
have been all summer, and which was
in fact my birth place. So you see I
told the truth, sir, altho’ you do not
| find Miss Forrester quite so countryfied,
las was Miss Giles! Acknowledge that
! by the aid of spectacles, ill fitting dress,
and an 'auburn' wig, saucy Kate makes
an excellent farmer’s daughter.”
“I do acknowledge that, also my
stupidity, as regards the housekeeping
business, etc; and although two days
ago I had taken an aversion to ‘auburn’
bair, I find my former taste, and liking
for it, returning rapidly,” said Alfred
i
regarding Kate’s really beautiful hair
with admiring eyes.
C- 0 o o s <s
When Mrs. Forrester and cousin
: Frank came, the impatient lover laid
his case before them, hacked by Mr.
Forrester, whose good opinion he had
readily won, the same day lie had ad
i dressed Kate. lie found little difficul
ty in obtaining the consent of all par
ties, though every one was rather sur
prised at the suddenness of the affair.—
Cousin Frank was boisterous in his con
gratulations, declaring that he was
bound to follow their illustrious exam
ple, which indeed he soon did—not by
advertising—bnt by simply* failing in
love, in the old fashioned style, with a
gentle friend of Kate’s, who acted as
bridesmaid for our little heroine, the
following spring, and who in about
: four months afterwards made cousin
Frank happy by becoming his wife.
When the wild mocking birds were
trilling their merriest carols in the sun

of flowers and opening buds, our fair
Kate, now Mi's. Latimer, accompanied
her devoted and happy husband to his

■ Solved I—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
•! DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
’ life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude I
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
• wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
, or ordinary headache, alilicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened w r ith
; paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceods from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the hands of
medical men.

powers it creates a desire for the solid material
which is to be subjected to their action. As an j
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
Iflonglile and the vigor necessary to its en-,
joyment arc desirable, this medicine is indeed of
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to cither
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
willall find immediateand permanent relief from j
the use of this incomparable renovator. To!
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it :
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard j
agaiust that terrible malady. There are many |
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu- j
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach I
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re- j
lerence to the causes, and will not only remove j
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con- \
stitution

eases as it has cured.
These diseases are Liver Complaints, or their

with it has been short, and not personal, but we
have seen its extraordinary effects iu alow cases
of jaundice, billiousncss and general debility,

It has some certificates of cures from sources

(irCure of Diseased Liver.
—Ho.vesdale Co., Penn., Jan. 10, 1850-—-Mr.
Seth W Fowle—Sir : You are at liberty to use
: the following statement for the benefit of the af
t fflicted :
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink of
the grave. During my sickness I was attended j
by three physicians in our place, but received j
no help. I also tried the various remedies re
commended for such complaints, but they af
forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
persuaded to try WUtar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, and by using four bottles I was restored
to better health than I have enjoyed before for
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
as strictly true. Betsey Pkkri.v .
The above certificate was given in the pre
sence of Dr. A. Stroug, oi Honesdale, who is well;
known in his vicinity as a successful practitioner.!

fiSjr Weakness of the Stomach and
Indigestion.— Another Great Cure effected hy\
i Bterhave's Holland Bitters. —The wife of Pieter ]
i De Witte, living in Holland Town, Sheboygan
county, Wisconsin, suffered much from Weak
ness of the Stomach and Indigestion. She had
been under a physicians’ care for some time, but
the disease seemed to baflie even his skill. She!
' purchased some HOLLAND BITTERS at our of*
j fice, which has given tone to her stomach ; her!
J appetite and strength are returning, and wej
i firmly believe that this is another great cure ef
fected by your medicine.
We have still to record many wonderful cures
effected by this remedy, but must wait another
opportunity. One thing you can rely upon, what
we have published are from persons much re
spected in our community, and are literally true.

i will not use dyes when a natural restoration to
j the original color of the hair can he produced by
■ natural remedies. Dyes are artificial agents,
j and dangerous in their application, but WOOD’S
| HAIR TONIC is a healthy stimulant. and causes
a healthy growth. A giowth of gray hair on a
young person’s head is unnatural, and to apply
i a coloring fluid produces au unnatural result;
j the color i 3 changed, to be sure, but not through
| the roots of the hair. ladies, do you see that j
I geranium plant iu the window yonder ? liow yel- j
low and laded it looks ? It is alive and growing; j
yet where is the beautiful, rich, dark green that j
belongs to it? Gone. You can color those leaves
by au external application of chemicals, but
they will not remain colored. Do you desire to
do it naturally V Make a solution of guano water,
apply it to the roots, and the plant will take it
up into the system, and then you will see a rich
green, permanent hue. Professor Wood’s Hair
Tonic works on the same principle. The roots j
of the hair drink up that application, and high j
health and beauty result.
