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. — BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY*,isput up in Paek- rges, in the form of Powdert", with full directions for mixing it into liquid form b fore taking.

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. PUBLISHED BY* JOHN P- JEWETT & COTIPAWT, No. 117 Washington Street, Boston.

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.*
