NEW YEAR'S NIGHT- THE CONCERT
We trust our benevolent and music-loving citi
zens will remember the Concert announced by the
Choral Society, to transpire next Tuesday evening,
atCouce-t Hall. Apaft from the admitted musicaj
ability of the generous volunteers, the object ot the
entertainment is most praiseworthy ; and surely it
requires no labored attempt at rhetoric to induce
this community to respond liberally to the appeal
which will be made, in dulcet strains, in behalf of
the indigent, but Sabbath-School-loving little ones
of “Canaan.” Bear in mind, reader, the sententious
sermon of Dus Swikt. On a certain occasion, this
was bis text: “He that giveth to -he poor leudeth
to the Lord;” and this was his sermon : Ifyou like
the security, down with the dust.
THE DANCING PARTY.
On Friday night Professors Bioos and Gans
gave one of their charming entertainments at the
Masonic Hall.
In consequence of the general business depres
sion, the school is not so large as usual, and we
missed several of the gracetul girls, who made
the ball beautiful last winter—Alice, Carrie and
Lon, among them.
Anew Danish dance was peculiarly charming,
from and lightness of the movement.-,
and the intense enjoyment of it, by the children.
But the most interesting item, was the fancy
dances bv little Miss Whyte, and .Miss Isabel
Robison, the latter appeared twice, and both were
graceful and beautiful.
Whatever opiuiou may be held of dancing, it
must be right for children, since it makes them
happy; and those who mingle with them will
catch the sunshine of iheir gladness, even as the
orb of night borrows the brightness of the day.
DISUNION.
This is the last titae we can address our readers of
the Weekly Constitutive,alUt, before they are called
upon to decide that .ssue which involves freedom
or servitude to us had our children, and which
issue should alone be written—“ Victory or Death ”
Oh, that when young men ask the daughters of
the land for song, they wtnld sing the Marseillaise
hymn; and that the old end the waiting would
learu wisdom of the girls aid young children ; for
the blue cockade of secessioncontrasts with many
dark or golden tresses, and the lonely, golden star
of Georgia shines bright amid be robes of little
boys and girls, just old enough tojisp es—Mother,
God, and Liberty.
From the great popular heart, however, the
anxious question is, “ Watchman what of the
night?” and while we cannot “Day is
breaking, and all is well,” yet RevotHjou twines
her crimson wings with the snowy Humes of
peace, and both look on, as the great vAJ of the
future slowly lifts upon the second ac 0 f the
drama of the West.
The stage is yet dim, and the characters sha
dowy; but the scenes are those of Southern. .
pire, and the figure plainest seen is Hope.
But dramatic rhetoric does not satisfy the qu.?_
tioning heart, and the varied question is, “Wh i
of Georgia ?” The answer is, she trill secede tie fur I
the 4th of March, 1861.
There is no majority in Georgia for secession ;
but every county meeting, save two or three, has
resolved as the sense of its members, and the
faith of its nominees for delegates, that disunion
is either a necessity now, or will be on the refusal
of new guarantees, and even the most conserva
tive will reluctantly vote for immediate secession,
because the Abolitionists are not base enough to
ask them to delay.
Commercial relations will force Georgia out,
for she cannot afford to have a siring of custom
houses on her Alabama, Florida, South Carolina,
and perhaps Tennessee frontiers; and kindred aud
fraternity forbid that we should remain aliens and
strangers amid those glorious sisters, which have
begun to embroider Independence, upon the robes
of tbeir empire.
We are told that in all our contests with the
North, until this last disastrous one, the South
has uniformly been victorious; victors in 1820,
victors (it was said) in 1850, victors (in truth) in
1552, victors in 1854, and in 1856, besides innumer
able great or less contests scattered over the bo
som of the past forty years. Let us grant it all,
grant ihe victories aud forget how many such
victories would be worse thau defeat; but before
we thank God for such success, let the solemn
question be answered, why were we assailed?
Was it the purpose of the “ more perfect Union,”
which our fathers sealed in blood, that we should
be an eternal target, warding off with fear and
trembling, the shafts of a relentless foe, that foe
our brothers? Were we ever the aggressors, and
have they not always been?
It is true that we hare escaped annihilation in a
series of conflicts, from each and all of which, the
Constitution have been our shield ; but
each one of these fratricidal blows would bare
been fatal had it succeeded. Like convicts on the
wheel, we have contented ourselves with avoiding
the “mercy stroke” which was intended to finish
us, and put up each time the piteous petition—oh,
say you wont do it agaiu ! The war is against us
and defeat is ruin; this day we are defeated, and
we must seek the embattled heights of southern in
dependence, o; be captives in the next battle on
the plains of the Union.
It is truly said that the South has never yet been
disgraced and ruined. That is true; but with fair
notice that the Abolitionists intend to do it, aud
have just received the power to do it, shall we
wait till they do it? Does it become us to stay and
court dishonor?
Perhaps the most absurd, and yet universal ar
gument against us, is the Psalm to the Stars and
Stripes. Strange that “sensible” men can find no
evidence of the value of the Union, save a flag, a
few graves and some facts of past history! Stran
ger still when we remember that there is no copy
right on the flag to prevent our having one like it;
that the graves, worthy to be,
“The Delphic vales, the pilgrim shrikes, the Mecca* of the
mind,”
are on southern soil, and that it ts a task for our
schoolchildren now to remember those historic
memories of glory, which are all our own.
We are referred to the growth of this country,
as evidence of the value of onr Government ; but
emigrants came when there was no Government
at all, and its rapid spread is hardly commensurate
with the triumphs of Saxcn blood, under the
cross of St. George, against old empires, Thugs,
Asiatic cholera, and the spotted, striped, creepiag,
and miasmatic dea;b in Dengal.
We are told that the Federal Government has
done no wrong. Granted; but it is as well to
recollect that it has never been more than the paid
agent of the States, powerless for harm ; and as
our old servant has taken -errice under Abolition
ism, we simply discharge him, with a good char
acter and a recommendation to the new master.
Those avoid the issue who say we quarrel with
the Government. We do cot; but our partner
States have sinned, and they, or we, shall quit the
firm.
It is said, by our ablest opponents, that we Lave
only two causes of complaint, to-wit: The Terri
torial question, and the fugitive slave law. That
is not true, for it is probable we will abandon
the Territories, and are able to let a million or
two a year be stolen from us in slaves. It is the
northern heart wLich we complain of, and no
marriage bond can be 6acred enough to make us
cling to a termagant that don’t love us.
It is said to be the extreme of folly to resist
sviis before they come, but we are accorded per
mission to get ready to resist. Exactly ! And our
idea is to form a Southern Union, get armies,
navies, treaties, etc. etc., so when an attempt is
made to abolish slavery, we will be ready to re
sist.
The Georgia platform is pled. That never
was right, for it held the Federal Government ac
countable, instead of the States, and ignored State
rights. It is said the North threatens but dares -
notact. Well, it is certainly the first time that a
big crowd was afraid to attack a little one, and if
it is all bluster, let us go South out of the cold and
let them bluster by themselves. “They lack the
power!” Ah, indeed! and who found that rut?
They will, by the secession of cotton States, have
every department of the government by March,
; and with all the power that is, they are probably
satisfied. “Lincoln tied !” so is the devil, but bis
! chain is long enough to let him walk over bell,
earth, and heaven, {tide Job). ZZZZ!!
P “The South will have the whole military power
I of the Government to aid her,” in defence of her
| Constitutional rights, says a great man ; and of
! that “whole military power,” Abe Lincoln is Com
j raander-in-Chief!
‘Pray don’t precipitate things,’ cries one and
another, and where was ever recorded more calm
deliberation, than is seen in the call of the South
; Carolina and Georgia Slate conventions ?
But there are disunionists, perse! Yes, and all
honor to the men who braved the howl of “treas
on,” by being the first to say ‘so. Traitors let
them be called, but such was Washington.
The last hope is exhausted, and Toombs did vio
lence to his own feelings, that he might demnn
i strate the hopelessness of Constitutional amend
’ ments, by the votes of Republican Senators. Aboil
j tionism will not even listen to that old sage of the
: Union, Crittenden, and it tells us as plain as it
! can talk—“there is no compromise.”
The following is a statement of the entire vote
I cast in the United States, after separating and dis
| tnbuting the fusion ticket:
POPULAR VOTE.
i Lincoln, 1,785,480
: Douglas, 1,354,428
j Breckinridge 784,806
1 Bell, 605,801
The Douglas vote being almost double that of
Breckinridge, and the popular vote against Lin
coln, nearly a million.
The causes which led to the election of Lincoln
have been most minutely enquired into, to show
that it is not an Abolition triumph.
Breckinridge men in the North voted for him,
from dislike to the great opponent of the Admin
istration. Douglas men voted for Lincoln, because
they feared Breckinridge would get in the House
Bell men, because they hated Democracy. For
eigners and others, because of the fusion with
Americans. Pennsylvanians, on the tariff on iron,
aud other manufacturers for other tariff mterests.
New Englanders, for the homestead measure, and
ten thousand lesser causes were at work. Yet all
these things but demonstrate two great truths;
first, that a Government which cannot prevent
such accidents, is worthless; second, that whoever
may have been the first choice of our northern
brothers, the second choice was generally an Abo
litionist.
We are told that interest will compel the North
to do right, but have before demonstrated that it
is religious zeal which impels them against inter
est; aud thefoctof the committee of thirteen in
the idenate, of thirty-three in the'House, refusing
alLcompromise even now while their constituents
are out of work and bread, proves tbe desperate
tenacity of fanaticism.
But we cannot expect these legislators now
elect, to do right, in State or Congress, but wait
for the ballot box to speak ! It has just spoken.
Let us be unanimous ! Certainly, and who
keeps us from it ?
We will not be able to control fanaticism—it is
said—even if we separate from it. That may be
so; but we can make the incendiary get a passport,
and the peddler and drummer pay duty at the
spites of the land.
We can open our ports to the world, and not
longer feed the beast which wants to eat us. We
can risk our lives upon the chances of glorious
battle, and if slaves we must be, we at least, can
avoid the mockery of being called their brothers.
Some say the border States are frightened; if
they are, let them sell their negroes cheap and
turn Abolitionists.
But we will lose their sympathy if we do not
consult them ! We intend to consult, as soon as
we get free enought to do it without perjury. Was
the Confederacy formed before or after tbe war of
the revolution began ?
The brightest idea however is. thai slavery
cannot extend South, for the Indiana, Ci-eoles,
Spaniards, et sic de similibui, would be in ihe way
•s lords, proprietors of the soil, opposed to slavery,
M therefore we are stopped that way. It is con
ned that slavery must expand; or to use the eles
S al wish of the northern Senator, “the viper will
itself to death.” It was never expected to
expan North; deserts, free States and oceans, bar
it Wes aß( j East ; W e are now informed that it
can t g'South, therefore it seems to us that the
premises ro uo { t rue( or W e ure in a bad predica
ment, ana the continued Union does not aid it a
particle.
It is the oi argument which was laughed at in
the cases of F rida, Louisiana, New Mexico, Calls
fornia, and M s „„ rl) for the dominant race will
supplant all oth ttn( j s i aV ery will expand South
to Brazil, and fr. a till stopped by snow. I
inay be an evil, bni;| (e cholera, no power can check
it but frost.
The British presi n f orms us—and unkindly it
is repeated by the y o rgia born—that England
lets us alone uow only oni f ear 0 f our National
greatness, but will no It g er respect the Monroe
doctrine after we divide. ft uc h is the argument
to scare us from iudependi ce i
Take heed, oh men of the ou ,h,how you shrink
from your destiny; for, when , e children of Israel,
terrified by the report of V. Bpjes ,| lat there
were “giants in the land,” sLr back from the
! fords of Jordan and the lulls f Canaan thev
were led back, and for forty y rg strewed tbe
desert with their graves. Josh, atlc i Caleb
alone said, “we are able to take an( j they
alone of all that myriad host lived to over—the
one to dwell in the fertile vales of Lij rou ,j leu
his own ; the other, to die with his peoj e ar ound
him, amid the hills of God.
Let those, however, who would shrink oni gj.
a nts, remember, before us we have but th, world
’ of aliens to appose ; behind us, the work st ju
I stands in arms, and our own Government is c, e s
conspirator. Tbe alternative is not peace at |
but other nations, or other nations and our o\*
We cannot get Cuba if we go out of the Union
P erliapg not, but ave have an excellent opportunity
to lose what we have got by staying in the Union.
We will save ourselves and look out that En
gland does no! get Cuba.
If slavery is only respected because the North
lends it her countenance, its credentials are very
bad, and the sooner we earn it a better reputation ;
the better we shall do.
It is a fact that England had some thoughts
about freeing slaves in Texas at the time she
became free, but the whole course ufßritisb states
manship only show their sublime ignorance of the
slavery question, and slavery must stand in spite
of England and the North, its enly bulwark being
truth and the sword.
JJLet us hear no more then of the craven voices
which croak of the future.
Grant that the world is opposed to us and our
property rights, grant that the tariff, the slave
trade, the banks, the moutlisjofthe Mississippi, may
be difficulties yet unsettled; but the deck of the
Union ship is on fire behind us, aud whether there
be sharks in the ocean of the Future or not, we
must leap and swim, supported by truth and
guided by the stars.
We would be glad to argue at length each o f
the positions taken against us; but time will not
permit. It has simply been our purpose to give a
key to every door in the “ Doubting Castle,”
which the foes of secession use to imprison
thought.
In conclusion, we are happy to be able to inform
our readers, that Georgia is committed to dis
union, on the failure of new guarantees—a respec
table minority of the couuties having decided for
immediate secession—and all amendments to the
Constitution having been refused, we can enlertain
a i doubt of her being out of the Uniou by the 4th
ot March, IS6I.
Then alone, or with others, she will still be
Gsobgia—
“Forever strong in conscious might.
Her pillared fla* in faith unfurled.
Aud her star still shining in steady light,
Ou the very evening of the world.”
Cranberry Culture is New Jersey. —Much j
attention is given to the cultivation of cranber- !
ries in Burlington county. About 150 acres ‘
have been planted this season; of this, one far- j
tner named Chetwood set out 25 acres; another, !
named G. Gowdy, 17; and Mr. Allen is plant
ing 10 acres. This patch yields 150 bushels per
acre. Mr. Allen is selling his for S4 per bushel, ;
delivered at the house. The whole expens per |
acre, for building a dam. clearing the ground of
roots and settiugvmt the plants, is only about
SIOO. Alleu’s patch has cost $25 per acre for
merely setting out the plants, but this is unusu- j
al. It costs fifty or sixty cents per bushel to |
gather them, a process which is accomplished
simply by scooping up the berries with the
hand. The work is mostly done by womeu and
children.
JOINT RESOLUTION PROPOSING AMENT-
M £NTS TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED STATES.
Whereas, serious and alarming dissensions have
arisen between the northern and southern Statep,
concerning the rights and security of the rights
of the slaveholding States, and especially (heir
rights in the common territory of the United
States; and whereas, it is eminently desirable
and proper that these dissensions, which now
threaten the very existence of this Union, should
be permanently quieted and settled bv Constitu
tional provisions, which shall do equal justice
to all sections, and thereby restore to the people
that peace and good will which ought to prevail
between all tbe eitizens of tbe United States:
therefore,
Resolrei, By the Senate and House of Represen
tatives of the United States of America, in Con
gress asembled, two-thirds concurring, that the
following articles De, and are hereby, proposed
and submitted as amendments to tbe Constitution
of tbe United States, which shall be valid to all
intents ami purposes as part of said Constitution,
when ratified by conventions of three-fourths ot
the several States:
Art. 1. In all the territory of the United States
now held or hereafter acquired, situate North o
latitude thirty-six degrees , and thirty minutes,
slavery or involuntary servitude, except as a puns
ishment for crime, is prohibited, while such terri
tory shall remain under territorial government.
In all the territory South of said line of latitude,
slavery of the African race is hereby recognised
as existing, aud shall riot be interfered with by
Congress; but shall be protected as property by
all the departments of the territorial government
during its continuance; and when any Territory,
North or South ot said line, within such boundaries
as Congress may prescribe, shall contain tbe pop
ulation requisite for a member of Congress, accord
ing to the then Federal ratio of representation of
the people ot the United States, it shall, if its form
of government be republican, be admitted into the
Union on an equal footing with the original Slates,
with or without slavery, as the Constitution of such
new Slate may provide.
Art. 2. -Congress shall have no power to abolish
slavery in places under its exclusive jurisdiction,
and situate within the limits of States that permit
the holding of slaves.
Art. 3. Congress shall have no power to abol
ish slavery within the District ot Columbia, so
long as it exists in the adjoining States of Vir
ginia aud Maryland, e,r either, nor without the
conseut of the inhabitants, nor without just com
pensation first made to such owners of slaves as
do not consent to such abolishment. Nor shall
Congressat anytime prohibit officers of the Fed
eral Uoverment or members of Congress, whose
duties require them to be in said District, from
bringing with them their slaves aud holding them,
as such, during the time their duties may require
them to reuiaiu there, aud afterwards taking them
from the District.
Art. 4. Congress shall have no power to pro
hibit or hinder the transportation of slaves from
one State to another, or to a Territory in which
slaves are by law permitted to be held, whether
that transportation be by land, navigable rivers,
or by the sea.
Art. 5. That, in addition to the provisions of
the third paragraph of the second section of the
fourth article of tbe Constitution of the United
States, Congress shall have power to provide, bv
law, aud it shall be its duty so to provide, that
the United States shall pay to the owuer
who shall apply for it, the full value of
his fugitive slave, in all cases, when the
marshal, or other officer, whose duty it was to ar
rest said fugitive, was prevented from so doing by
violence or intimidation ; or when, after arrest,
said fugitive was rescued by force, and the owner
thereby prevented and obstructed in the pursuit
of his remedy for the recovery of his
slave, under the said clause of the Constitution
and the laws made in pursuance thereof. And in
all such cases, when the United States shall pay
for such fugitive, they shall have the right, in their
own name, to sue the county in which said vio
lence, intimidation, or rescue was committed, and
to recover from it, with interest aud damages, the
amount paid by them for said fugitive slave. And
the said county, after it has paid said amount to the
United States, may, for its indemnity, sue aud re
cover from tbe wrong-doers, or rescuers, by whom
the owner was prevented from the recovery of his
fugitive slave, in like manner as the owner him
seif might have sued and recovered.
Art. 6. No future amendment of the Constitu
tion shall affect the five preceidng Articles, nor
the third paragraph of the second section of the
first article of the Constitution, nor the third para
graph of the second section of the fourth article
of said Constitution; aud no amendment shall, be,
mad to the Constitution which will authorise or give
to Congress any power to abolish or interfere
with slavery in any of the States by whose laws it
is or may be allowed or permitted.

THE PEKIN GAZETTE
Few of our readers have a correct idea of the
importance of the Pekin Imperial Gazette the
official organ of the Government, and will be sur
prised to hear that it is conducted on a greater
scale than any paper in Christendom, not even
excepting the London Tim s. The Gazette which
may be properly considered as the patriarch of
periodicals, is a daily paper, got up in pamphlet
form, of about sixty or seventy pages each num
ber. The price oi subscription amounts to only
fourteen dollars a year, or less than four cents a
number, and might consequently defy any coni’
petition, eveu in these Uuiteil States, the country
of cheap publications. Nothing can be put iu the
columns of the Gazette without being previously
and carefully read by a committee of political or
literary men, according to the nature of the article.
The official portion of ttie paper|is sent directly
from the Cabinet of the Emperor, and is made up
with a brief account of the principal events of the
day, judiciary reports, a leader on the political sit
uation, petitions and memoirs addressed to the
Sovereign, together with his auswers, his orders,
instructions to the mandarins, and whatever he
chooses to give of ins views on various questions.
Nothing is to be altered in those official articles
even involuntarily, under the penalty of death !
Therefore, the unfortunate compositors and proof
readers of the Imperial paper live in a continual
state of trepidation ; for all know how easy it is
for a type setter, in a hurry, to mistake one letter
for another. The newspapers in the provinces are
obliged to republish that official portion of the
Gazeite for which the public has the greatest rev
ereuce, and which is, by that way, a powerful in
strument of government, centralization, and of
justice. It can be understood by that, how impor
tant it is for Christian diplomats,concluding treaties
with the Chinese Government, to insist on having
them published in the Imperial Gazette. It is the
best sanction which they cau receive, and, more
over, a kind of public consecration.
The remainder of the paper is made up pretty
much as our own newepapers, with various pieces
of intelligence, items of all kinds, and literary ar
tides; with this difference, however, that the
greater number of columns is devoted to poetry,
tables, odes, and poems, particularly on the virtues,
genius, and one thousand and one admirable quali
ties of ilie Emperor. The Gazette has also, as well
as the French papers, hftuilUton, or serial novel,
generally writlen by the most popular pens of the
age. With the exception of the ugly things said
in those novels of the Western devils—i. e., the
Fou-lanq-sai, (French,) and Inki-li, (English,)
which are, of course, nonsensical falsehoods, the
Gazette is written in a most creditable manner,
and we may hope, one day before long, to see that
model of Chinese newspapers exchanging with
our owe, and contributing a fair quota of extracts
to the American periodicals.
<PEKIMENTS WITH PLASTER ON PEA FAL
LOW.
-’ast year had two barrels plaster, (all I had)
SOVk on a part of my pea fallow ; the plaster
was -.plied to the poorest and lightest part of
of tlu.j e y a t the rate of a half bushel per aero;

THE SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE
This excellent paper bolds its own, and we bor
row from it ihe following, which i‘s editor bor
rowed from somewhere:
BENNY'.
I had told him Christinas morning,
As he sat upon my knee.
Holding iast his little stockings,
Stuffed as fitll as full could be,
And attentive listening to me,
With a face demure and mi id.
That old Santa Claus, who filled them,
Did not love a naughty child.
“ But we’ll lb good, won’t we, moder ?”
And from off my lap he slid,
Digging dee? among the goodies
lu his crimson stockings hid;
While X turned me to my table,
Where a temptiig goblet stood.
Brimming hi <h with dainty egg-nog.
Sent me try’ a neighbour good.
But the kitten, thee before me,
With his white ptw, nothing loth,
Sat, by wav of entertainment.
Slapping"off the mining froth;
And, in not the gentlest humour,
At the loss of suca a treat,
I confess I rather rutely
Thrust him out Into the street.
Then, how Benny's Hue eye kindled!
Gathering up the precious sture
He had busily been touring
In his tiny “pinafore.
With a generous look that shamed me,
Spraughe from the tarpet bright,
Showing, by his mien indignant,
All a baby’s sense of right.
“ Come back, Harney!” called he, loudly,
As he held his apron vhitc—
“ You shall have my candy wabbit! ”
But the door was fastend tight;
So he stood, abashed and lilent.
In the centre of the floor.
With defeated look altermto
Bent on me and on the ifcor.
Then, as by some sudden impulse.
Quickly ran he to the firn
And while eagerly his hri girt eyes
Watched the flames go high and higher,
In a brave, clear key, he shotted.
Like some lordly’little elf,
“Santa Kaus, come down de thimney,
Make iny moder ‘have hemlf t”
“ I’ll be a good girl, Benny,”
Said 1, feeling the reproof; i
And straightway called poor Harney,
Mewing on the gallery roof.
Soon the anger was forgotten.
Laughter chased away the friwn,
And they gambolled ’neath the live oaks
Till the dusty night came dorn.
In my dim, fire-lighted chamber,
Harney purred beneath mvelilir.
And my play-worn boy beside nb,
Knelt to say hisevening prayer:
“ God boss Fader—God boss Moder,
God bless Sister”—then a pause,
And the sweet young lips devout,y
Murmured, “God boss Santa Ktus!”
Hois sleeping—brown and silken
Lie the lushes, long and meek.
Like caressing, clinging shadows
On his plump and peachy cheek;
And 1 bend above him, weeping
Thankful tears—Oh, Undefiled I
For a woman’s crown of glory,
For the blessing of a child.

has supplied to relieve the afflictions of humanity, there is no
more favorite one for a certain class of diseases than the “me

it is, its power to heal, to soothe, to relieve, and to cure, is
enhanced ten fold by scientific and judicious combination with

V&~ Cherokee Kemedy an Unfailing Cure for
Gouorrhre, and all diseases of tire Urinary Organs. Thjs
REMEDY cures when all other preparations fail. It is
entirely unlike every ether compound—coutaining no min
eral poison or nanseus drugs, as it is prepared solely from
Roots, Barks, and Leaves, and has been handed down from
one generation to another by the Cherokee Indians. It is of
fered to the public on its own intriasic merits. It perforins
its duty qu'cUy and thoroughly. The unfortunate of either
sex will be repaid by using this REMEDY iustead of placing
themselves at the mercy of some Quack or Professor. This
REM EDY strikes at the root of the disease. Its tendency is
not simply to suspend the poison, but to remove the cause oa
which it depends. Full directions in pamphlet form accom
pany each bottle. The speedy and permanent reliel af
forded by this REMEDY, iu all cases of Gonorrhce, Gleet,
Gravel, Stricture, Fluor Albus, (Whites in females), and all
diseases of the Urinary Organs has astonished the most sci
entitle urea of the age. This REMED Y not only eradicates
all poison from the system, but invigorates the most delicate
constitution.
It does not affect the breath, or interfere with any class of
business, or require any deviation from the usual diet.
It requires no assistance from other medicines.
And what enhances its value is the entire absence of all
nauseous taste, being a pleasant and delicious Syrup.

Bsipoit —Missus wants you to send her a box of Cephalic
Glue ; no, a bottleof Prepared Pills. But I’m thinking that's
not just it mother; but perhaps ye’ll be afther knowing what
It is. Ye see she’s nigh dead and gone with the Sick Head
ache, aud wants some more of that same as retaived her be

Druggist— You must mean Spalding's Cephalic Pills.
Bridget— Och, sure now and you’ve sed it. Here’s the
quarther and give me tbe Pills, and don't be all day about it

Constipation or Costivoness.
No one of the “many ills flesh is heir to” is so prevalent, so
little under.-toed, and sornuch neglected, as Costiveness. Of
ten originating in carelessness, or sedentary kablU.it Is re
garded as a slig ,t disorder of too little consequence to excite
anxiety, while, in reality, it is the precursor and companion
of many of the most fatal and dangerous diseases, and unless
earlyeradicat-d.it will bring the sufferer to an untimely
g'ave. Among the lighter evils of which Costiveneas Is the
usual attendant are, Headache, Colic. Rheumatism, Foul
Breath, Piles, and others of like nature, while a long train of
fri rlitful disrnsea, such :is Malignant Fevers, Abctsses, Dy
seutery, Dlarrhopa, Dyspepsia. Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Pauly,
sis, Hysteria, Hypochondriasis, Melancholly, and Insanlty4tirst
indicate their presence in the system by “this alarming symp.
tom. Not (infrequently the diseases named originate in Con
stipation, but take on an independent existence, unless the
cause is eradicated In an early stage. £From all tiiese consid
orations, it follows that tho disorder should receive immediate
attention whenever it occurs, and no person should neglect to
get a box of Cephalic Pills on the flrst appearance of the c no
plaint, as their timely use will expel the insi ious approac :,n
of disease, and destroy this dangerous foe to human life.

Physician.— You can get them at any Druggists'. Cal! for
Cephalic Pills, I find they never fail, and I recommend them
in all cases of Headache.
Mrs. Junes. —t shall send for a box directly, and shall tell
all my suffering friends, for they area real blesssng.

greater service bycuringal! the aching hpads with his Cephal
ic Pills, and if they ar as good as his Glue, Headaches will
soon vanish away like snow in July.
