DYSPEPSIA-ITS REMEDY!
S LZS3’ Syspetic Hcmedy.
A new mpilirnl compound, nml the result of long prac
tice, extensive observation and close study of all forms of
disease having their origin in a diseased state of the
stomach, adapted lo every stage of those diseases from
their incipient symptoms to those in which they have as
sumed the Chronic lorin. This remedy and the treat
ment prescribed to occompaor the takii g of the medi
cine, have the sanction ofyears of successful application
in private practice. It was not suddenly iiit uroN,nor
dn arned of, but is the assertion of facts and experiments
collected iu the daily rounds of duty as a practising phy
sician, and is given to the public in a popular form, in
the hope, ns in the belief, that it will not fail in giving
relief to the sufferer frjtn Dyspepsia and alt other dis
eases having their origin in the stomach, in any instance
where the directions are properly attended to. It is en
tirely dissimi-nr lo any and every preparation of the kind
now before ihe people. The.originator entertaining views
and opinions somewhat at variance with the prescribed
notions among medical men generally as regards the na
ture of these diseases, has in this preparation brought to-
eel her medical agents of known utility and worth in the
form of a now combination, making a compound alto,
geiher and entirely new, and one that will not fail to
cure in the most ngrnvalrd and stubborn casses of the
diseases refered to, providing the medicine is properly-
taken, and all the accompanying directions follow ed out
The undersigned i well aware that the same encour-
agment has been given, and the same promises have si
re,a-iy heen made over and over again by manufacturers
of patent medicines as regards their different prepara
tions, and the only voucher he has to offer for the cura
tive qualities of this preparation, is the reputation of suc
cess m "('brume Cases,” that he gained throughout
Middle Georgia while in the practice of his profession
He would also for the purpose of giving additional
weight to w hatever lie may say as regards Ibis new pre
paration, beg to refer 11 tbe faet tbai he is the origina
tor, manufacturer, and proprietor of the medicine known
as“JACOBS CORDIAL,” the curative properties of
which in Cholera, Dysentery and diarrhea: is now being
proclaimed by thousands in every sertion of the country,
and as being all that he ever said of it.
Dyspepsia, like Gout may be said to e a fashionable
disease; it, more readily than any other, in various of its
forms, and to a greater extent, finds its victims in the
wealthy ar.d aristocratic circles, especially in cities,and
its insidcons workings are often the real, though undis
covered cause of the sallow cheek, the dull, heavy eye,
and the general inertia; indisposition to cither menial or
physical effort, which are erroneously attributed tooth
er causes. As a remedy in Dyspepsia, this preparation
stands at the head of all others in establishing a healthy-
and vigorous action of the various organs, and restoring
to their natural functions ttiose organs which have been
prevented hv this disease.
NERVOUS SUFFERERS; This preparation is also
particularly recommended, as well as to those suffering
from Diseased Liver. In weak and debilitated systems,
it will he found as possessing tonic properties to a pre
eminent degree and very admirably adapted to a large
portion of the female sex whose debilitated and worn
out constitutions require nn artificial restorer. —

Urn. Caroline Lee ISrntz.
Although but a single month has passed since the
first copy of this hrillliant book was issued, yet so
great has been the demand for the last and most
beautiful work from the pen of its lamented au
thoress, that we are now printing the
TWENTIETH THOUSAND,
with an unabated demand still pressing us. Since
the days of the Lamplighter, no book has sold so
rapidly, or become so universally popular.
Col. Fuller, of the Ncio York Mirror, in one of the
most elegant arlirlrs ever penned, in regard to authors
or their productions, uses the following strong and
beautiful language:
Erncnt Liawaoif.
“Death darkens his eye, and unplumes his wings,
Hut the sweetest song is the last lie sings.”
In the the volume entitled “Ernest Linwood.”
just issued by Jewett A Co., of Boston, we have the
dying song of the elegant and gifted Mrs. Caroline
Lee Hcntz. Mournfully sweet like the sigh of an
AEolian lyre, yet deep and oracular as the voice of
many waters, it seems to have been poured forth
while her soul floated down to the ocean of Rest.
On almost every pag>' we can trace the shadow of
the death-angel* who bore her away when her song
was ended. Mysterious gleams from beneath the
uplifting veil o’f Spirit-land startle us as we read.
The book is a broad-cast farewell—a lingering
hand-grasp from one we loved. If we mistake not,
its most impressive passages are revelations of the
inner life of the writer—wonderfully vivid and
absorbing, because wonderfully real.
YVe will not attempt to follow out, in this notice,
the thread of an inimitable tale; in so doing, we
should only anticipate scenes and events, which
come, with beautiful linkings and fine effect, before
the eye of the reader. YVe would not rob the hook
of half its charm.
Sweet Gabriella Lynn will tell her own story.

Moonlight on Palestine.
BT WILLIAM KOSS WALLACE;
I
Thanks, thanks to Him for this sweet calm
Around my restless soul, at least,
Seems and soft as Gilead’s balm
On Judah’s burning bosom cast!
Wrapt in this moonlight dreaming here
YY’here, He, of old, transfigured shone,
And glorified our human sphere
YY’ith love that conies from Him alone,
I feel a peace that, Aveline, thou
Ne’er saw before upon mybrow.
II'
Repinings at my settled doom;
Y’ain murmurs breathed about the years
That, following Royliood’s fleeting bloom,
YY’ere filled with unavailing tears;
Ambition that would wed the stars
YY'ith voice, or harp, or Seer’s rods,
And dare to burst the very bars
YY T herc sat the onrliament of gods—
All, all are gone—even hate for those
My bitterest, unforgh-ing foes.
III
Tin- voice that bade the wave’ be still;
The eye that on the erring beamed
Till Love’s own rainbow tool: tbe Will
Where only Hatred’s lightning gleamed—
I hear and see as ne’er before;
And Oh! how mild, how pure, how deep
Those words the loved Apostle Imre,
YY’ithin my conquered spirit sweep,
While round me all the moonlight air
Seems softly turning into prayer.
IV
Here, dear ohe, with thy hand in mine—
For thou with angel-instinct brought
My feet to this divinest shrine
YVhich but for thee had been unsought—
Here let us muse upon the clime,
This wonderous clime where every palm
Seems waving in the choir of Time,
The music of some solemn psalm,
That from the diademed Minstrel’s lyre
Rolled forth in mingled cloud and lire.
V
How pensive yonder pale moon leans
Above the land, as if she kept
A memory still of all the scenes
That through the long, long centuries swept;
As if she mourned the faded bowers
Of Hernton trailing ou the ground,
Arid ruins of the royal towers
That flung their giant shadows round—
Giving her benedictions still
In beams on every plain and lull.
VI
And Carmel smiles amid bis grief;
And Hebron faintly answers him;
And Zion, hearing, finds relief
In memories of her Cherubim;
Ami Lebanon litis his leafy glaives
To sad Cethsemen’s lonely tree;
And softer breathe the deep blue waves
Along the shores of Galilee;
And Sinai prouder holds his rock,
Still hallowed by the thunder-shock.
VII
In vain! in vain! for murmurs thrill
From where the Mount of Sorrow stands:
That vision rises, rises still—
The darkened Earth, the bleeding hands.
Though beams may light Moriah’s steep;
Though pilgrims kneel at Bethlehem’s shrine;
Though Jordan brood within his deep;
Though many a mountain bear the vine, ■
And memories crown Gilboa’s brow—
Jerusalem, bow dark art thou!
VIII
Above the column’s crumbling form
The saddening cypress weaves its pall,
And scorpions in the sunbeam swarm
Along the melancholy wall:
The marble place where music rolled;
The silent street, the fallen dome,
No longer rough with gems and gold-,
Are now the hideous Jackall’s home,
And on the temple’s broken shrine
The desert serpents hissing twine.
IX
For o’er thy brow, Jerusalem!
A crimsoned Calvary steeply towers;
Tie- blood that streamed from Jesse’s stem,
Still reddens all Gethsemen’s flowers.
Yes, fallen queen! thy harp is broke,
YY'hose music rose to God alone,
When sounding to the inspired stroke
Of him who made thine early throne
A shadowing terror with the cloud,
YY’hen Jaii the wondering heavens bowed.
X
But shall the harp forever sleep?
Oh, must the City always lie
A moaning wreck, and deemed to weep
Beneath the Ages marching by?
To some the inspiration sings
A radiant rising from the sod;
To some that Inspiration brings
Another Zion from their God; ’
If Ruin weaves eternal gloom,
YY’liat lessons in that City’s doom!
XI
Roll on thou pensive»pale moon, roll
Over this wondrous land, and bless,
Still bless, when like a pitying Soul,
Night brings her starry tenderness.
If while o’er Earth we pilgrims sweep
YY’ith awc-struck eyes, and haply find
Some other glorious Land may keep
The very lightnings of her mind,
YY’e know where throbs the noblest part—
For Palestine enfolds her heart’.

Causes of Ihe Decay of National Health
Two tilings are generally conceded, viz:
That the American women arc not as
healthy as the European; and the present
generation, especially the women, are not
as healthy and vigorous as former ones.
"What are the causes? Not our climate,
for that is the same as it was when the
women of this country were as healthy as
the English, Scotch and Irish, and xvlien
both sexes tverc as vigorous as their an
cestors or .any otlier^ieople. The change,
then, must ho owing to changes in our
domestic habits and modes of education.
Some of these will notv he indicated.
Nothing so certainly deteriorates and
undermines the body as habitually breath
ing impure air. The open fire-places in
in kitchens, parlors, bedrooms and work
shops, secured to our ancestors pure and
cool air. But at the present day close
stoves and close sleeping-rooms, with no
proper vantilation, are debilitating per
haps nine-tenths of the people, xvltilo chil
dren are crowded into schools heated with
stoves, and almost never properly ventila
ted.
Four-fifths of all the food and drink
taken arc throivn off through the lungs
and skin. Every pair of lungs vitiates
one pint of air at every expiration. That
is equal to one hogshead of air each lionr
for every pair of lungs.
No room, then, can be properly vantila-
ted that docs not receive from without at
least one hogshead of au for every pair of
lungs. This is always secured by open
fire-places, but by a stove almost never
Thus it is that the greater part of this gen
eration have had every bodily tissue nour
ished by imperfected blood, thus induchig
a delicate or feeble constitution.
A second cause of debility is the waste
of vigorous exercise, especially the mus
cles of the arms and trunk. In former
days the children worked with their par
ents in pure and cool air for several hours
a day, and thus exercised the muscles most
important to health.
But these days, school children, espe
cially the youngest girls, have little vigor
ous exercise. And where exercise is
manded, a walk of a mile or two is de
manded sufficient, while the exercise of the
muscles most important to health is entire
ly neglected. Thus both sexes, but es
pecially that of the children, are ex*ery
year becoming more delicate and sickly.
The third cause of national debility Is a
change from a simple to a stimulating and
luxurious diet. Stimulating food prox'okcs
an unnatural appetite.
A gTeat variety tempts to excess.—
Both combine to overload the organs of
nutrition, and the Yvhole organism is strain
ed and overtasked to throw off the excess.
The more food tve eat and the richer it
is, the more exercise is needed. But, in
stead of this, the people consequently are
eating more and exercising less. Meat is
the most stimulating food there is, and
there is no other nation on earth where all
clas#s devour such quantities of meat, fat,
butter, sugar, molasses, hot cakes and hot
tea and coffee. Xnd no nation on earth
have such bad teeth and ex'ery other indi
cation of a debilitated constitution.
A fourth cause of national debility is ex
cess in stimulating the brain, unbalanced
by exercise and recreations. Fifty years
since, to read, Yvrite and cipher were all
that Yvas expected out of the College
course. No daily drilling in hot school
rooms in all manner of sciences, with e\*en-
lessons at home. No Sunday lessons,
no books for children at every turn, both
Sundays and weekdays. There isfifiy
times as much intellectual stimulus of the
brain in childhood as was ever known in
former generations. Then the care, busi
ness and excitements of all kinds, for both
men and women, have increased at an
equal ratio. Everything is going on at
high steam-pressure. Now the more the
brain is thus stimulated, the greater the
need for pure air, exercise, and seasons of
relaxation. But contrary to this, the more
the brains of children ar.d adults are
stimulated, the less pure air and exer
cise are secured. And so the nervous
system is exhausted, and the Yvhole organ
ism becomes delicate or diseased. To use
the words of a medical writer, “the con
stant exorcise of the brain takes up the
chief strength of the system, and consumes
it in feeling and thinking.”
Another cause of general debility is the
fashions of female dress. The stays of our
ancestors were trifles compared xvitli the
accumulated enormities that have been
practised on the female form during the
last txventy years. The thin covering for
the upper portion of the spine and vital
organs in cold weather, the accumulation
of clothing on the lower portion, the pres
sure of tight dresses around the waists, and
the weight as Yvell as the heat of the enor
mous mass of clothing resting on the hips,
all these combining with delicate constitu
tions have produced, and are increasingly
producing the terrific results that are but
little known or understood.
Dying Advice of non. Mr. Smirk.
Simon Smirk Yvas on his death bed.—
His son Samuel was standing by his side;
and Yvhile he Yvas holdinghis father’s hand,
his father spoke to him as follows:
‘Sammy I am dying—at the age of fifty
five. I Yvish you to pay strict attention to
my dying ad\’ice!’
‘Father I Yvill.’
‘And I Yvi-di you to follow my advice
after I am dead.’
‘I will; father.’
‘Sammy, the neighbors, and all my
friends tell me I haven’t an enemy in the
world, and I believe I haven’t. I want
you to understand why I haven’t. It’s all
owing to policy Sam; policy and nothing
shorter. When I was of your age, my
boy, I Yvas as poor as a broken down vil
lage horse turned out to die. Age has at
last broken me down, but I ain’t poor,
thank policy! Follow my example, and
you will become richer by far,' than your
father, Sammy, and die without an enemy
as I do.’
Samuel wept, as in duty bound, but
grief and his handkerchief choked bis nt.
terance, so be said nothiHg.
‘It has ahvays been my policy,’ resum
ed the dying Smirk, “to avoid giving of
fence to any one. No matter what people
said or did to me—or any one else—right
or wrong—I haY*e ahvays endeavored to
avoid the exhibition of any sign of resent
ment. By long experience in this course,
I have found, that by perserving to agree
Yvith everybody skillfully is a sure eventu
al guide to universal popularity.’
‘But have you never had any difficulty
with anyone?’
• ‘Not since I was twenty one,’ said the
dying man gasping for breath. ‘Reach
me a little water, and wet my lips—they
are two parched to speak plain. There,
there.’ he added as his son obeyed him;
‘that will do, and you shall he initiated into
my invariable, and invaluable policy. Be
deferential, Sam, deferential, and control
your temper, and flatter whenever you get
a chance, have a bow, aud a smile, and a
shake of the band for everybody, mark!
everybody, and then you will get along.’
.‘But 1 musn’t be friendly to villians,
must H’
‘Friendly! humph! be friendly to nobody,
seem so. Villians; they compose two
thirds of the community, and are most in
fluential. As for tbe other third, though it
is well to keep their good opinion, they
are only subordinate agents in the building
of a man. But don’t get affronted with
them. Oh, no Sam; never do that!—
Never kick a dog unless yon are sure he
hasn’t any owner, then kick away, if you
like.”
Though his father was dying, Samuel
could not help smiling at such language.
‘That’s right,’ said the elder Smirk; ‘I
like that. Smile again, Sam, smile again.
By smiling I have gained many a friend
But be careful you don’t smile at the wrong
time. A smile is a powerful weapon, but it
must be used with judgment.’
Do you know, Sam, why I was always
such a favorite with the women?’
‘No, father.’
‘I was always careful, in the place, to
feel my Yvay with women; took care to
understand their characters, their senti
ments, their particular vanities and hobbies,
keeping my own ideas in the back ground,
until I could coincide with theirs. I al
ways took care neY*er to speak disrespect
fully of the sex—I never, in the presence
of a woman, called a woman a ‘woman or a
female.’ I had but one name, ladies, for
all the feminine gender.’
IIow did you do when they differed,
and asked your opinion.’
I would agree with one, and at the same
time wink at the others slyly, as much as
praise her virtue- I’d seldom miss the
mark; for it is ugly, immoral, and a fool in
the bargain. In fact, it is hard to find any
body who hasen’t some good point, or who
isn’t susceptible to flattery in some way or
other; and a man must be a fool, who, de
termined to flatter, and make his flattery
acceptable, can’t sieze hold of some merit,
in mind, heart, form or face of the person he
Yvishcs to please, and feigning to admire it,
mak^tliat person friendly.’
‘Mhst I be stingy, or liberal?”
“Oil, be liberal, he liberal, by all
means,”- said the dying man, with a ghastly
smile, ‘tKat is, in sentiment. Whenever a
generous deed is done, exalt it to the skies.
ABvays praise generous people. Clap
your hands for philanthropy, and then
clap them in your pockets, and keep them
there.’
‘Suppose a beggar ask alms of me or
I am called to contribute to some charitable
object?’
‘If any person begs, say ‘certainly my
poor woman,’ or ‘my man, or ‘my child’ and
then quickly feel in your pockets. You
will find no money, of course; but yon must
say, with a sigh and a tear in your eye, if you
can scare it up, ‘I’m really ashamed to
own it, but unfortunately, I haven’t a
cent about me.’ If you don’t get a ‘God
bless you,’ for that, I’m mistaken. I neY r cr
found it to all.’
‘But a subscription ?”
‘Read the paper, praise the object, but
say that you have just subscribed for more
than you could afford for au another object
of similar nature. If your applicant be
lieve by this that you are in the charitable
line, he will let you oft’, whereas if you re
fused out aud out, without an explanation,
he might abuse you behind your back.' I
have made myself a groat reputation for
benevolence by merely refusing to sub
scribe in this way. This is a queer world,
Sam.’
Here the old man was seized with a
Y’iolent fit of coughing which nearly
took him out of this queer world.
“I fear, father, that talking so much will
be fatal to you,” said Samuel.
‘No, no,’ resumed Lis father, ‘I’m deter
mined not to die till I get through As I
was saying, Sammy, tln3 is a queer world,
as you can’t get along in it Yvithout re
ligion.’ —
‘Without wliat!’ exclaimed his son, in
amazement. He never mentioned religion
before iu his life.
‘Without religion. Hire a pew by all
means. Talk religion occasionally, and
you can soon get the hang of it. Profess
and practice when you are obliged to.—
But, at any rate, profess; it helps a fellow
along in business. I got some of the most
profitable customers and best friends by
professing religion. Pew rent is no object
when you come to think of that.’ •
‘But if you belong to a church you will
have to defend its doctrines; and religious
controversies creaie enmity, don’t they?’
‘Sometimes. But whenever I found
that I was getting into trouble on account
of my religion, I was always careful to
yield a point or two, or smile in a Christian
like way aud then back out of the scraj^.
That’s the way to do it, Sammy, that’s tho
way to do it.’
‘It is best, I suppose, to be some kind
of a political!?’ inquired the son.
‘By all means; but take care and always
be on the strongest side. You can, though,
be rabid as a mad dog in your views, when
nobody but your side is present; affect to
be very liberal in your sentiments when
you talk with those of an opposite, political
creed. Mankind love a liberal man;
and if you flatter your foes, you disarm
them.’
‘There’s a good deal in that,’ observed
Sammy, musingly, reflecting on many ex
isting instances of its truth.
‘That there is,’ responded the sick man,
nearly exhausted, and his lips as pale as
ashes. ‘Double dealing does Yvell. W T hen
I lived in Squealbnry, a hoggish set there;
Sam, I was a great gun. I was general
favorite OYving to my management, and I
had money. They were going to build
a town house. There were two parties
each favoring a different site. Thej sent
committees to ask my opinion. As the
parties were about equal in numbers and
influence, I hesitated at first which to
favor.’
‘,And how did you overcome this diffi
culty!”
‘I told the committees that if they would
call a meeting of both parties, I would
give them my opinion. That meeting
was called, and I went. ‘Smirk! Smirk!
Smirk!’ they all cried, and after compli
menting the rowdies generally, the town,
its character, and so forth, disclaimed my
right either to the distinguished honor con
ferred on me, or to deliver my opinion on
the subject. I would not express my pre
ference or opinion; I had confidence that
the intelligence of the Squealburians
would enable them to choose. I bowed
and withdrew, in the midst of the cheer of
parties.’ *
‘That was well done, father,” said
Sam, admiringly; “aud was that the
reason you were elected to the Legisla
ture.”
“Yes,” said senior Smirk, faintly; “I
made a hit. My firm-mindedness became
proY*erbial. I was compared to Cincinnat-
us and Washington, and pnt up for repre
sentative, and elected by both parties.—
Do as I did Sam, and you will prosper
‘God bless you, my dear father! what is
the matter?’
“I am going, Sam, I shall he off in a
minute! Call in the ministers quick! but
remember policy, Sam, policy!’
And with the unfinished word, which
had been his guiding star through life,
upon his lips, Hon. Simon Smirk ex
pired.
Intelligence of his death was telegraphed
all over the Union, and. a great many edi
torial obituary notices were written upon
him ending with
“None knew thee but to love thee,
None named thee but to praise.”
Sickness of Dr. Graham —Ft. Graham,
who was sentenced to the State Prison at
Sing Sing for a number of years, in conse
quence of the homicide of Col. Loring at
Hie St. Nicholas Hotel, is said to he so ill
that it is not thought he will live. The
Doctor was made apothecary when he en
tered the prison, and many persons grum
ble because he was not made to labor like
the more common convicts. It seems that
his immunities did not preserve his health
or keep up his spirits. ^
Cabbage Worms—John Farras, one of
the most practical fanners in the State,
says these destructive insects may be de
stroyed in the following easy and simple
^“Break off a large leaf from the bottom
of the cabbage, and place it on the top, :
upper side down. Do this in the evening
and in the morning you will find near or
quite all the worms on each cabbage have
taken up their quarters on this leaf. Take
off the leaf and kill them or feed them to *
the chickens, and place the leaf back if
there be any more to catch.*
