D MANY a human being has passed away. for whose death there was no other reason than the neglect of known and indisputably 1.1-oven means of cure. Those near and dear to family and friends are sleeping the dreamless slumber into which, had they calmly adopted mi. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE TREATMENT. and availed themselves of liis wonderful effica eious medicines, they Would not have fallen. Dr. Selienck has in his own case proved that wherever suflicient vitality remains, that vital ity, by his medicines and his directions for their use, is quickened into healthful vigor. In this statement there is nothing presump tuous. To the faith of the invalid is made no representation that is not a thousand times substantiated by living and visible works. The theory of the cure by Dr. Scheack’s medicines is as simple as it is ui failing. Its philosophy requires no argument. It is self-assuring, self convincing. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the first two weapons with which the citadel of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the cases of consumption originate in dvspepsia and a functionally disordered livei. With this condition the bronchial tubes “sympathise” with the stomach. They respond to the morbific action of the liver. Mere then comes the cul minating result, and the setting in, with all its distressing symptoms, of CONSUMPTION. The Mandrake Pills are rsmposod of one of Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podophillum Pelta tum. They possess all the blood-searching, alterative properties of calomel. But unlike calomel, they “LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,” 'Phe work of cure is now beginning. The vitiated and mucous deposits in the bowels and in the alimentary canal are ejected. The liver, like a clock, is wound up. It arouses from its torpidity. The stomach acts responsi velv, and the patient begins td feel that he is getting, at last, A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD. The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food. < hylitieation is now progressing without its previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless, and the cure is seen to be at hand. There is no more latulence, no exacerbation of the stomach An appetite sets in. Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever yet given by an indulgent father to suffering man. Schenck’s Pulmonic Svrup comes in to perform its functions and to hasten and com plete he cure. It enters at once upon its work. Nature cannot be cheated. It collects and ripens the impaired portions of the lungs. In the form of gatherings, it prepares them for expectoration, and lo ! in a very short time the malady is vanquished, the rotten throne that it occupied is renovated and made new, and the patient, in all the dignity of regained vigor, steps forth to enjoy the manhood or the woman hood that was GIVEN UP AS LOST. The second thing is. the patients must stay in a warm room until they get well ; it is almost impossible to prevent taking cold when the lungs are diseased, but it must be prevented or a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding out, especially in this section of the country in the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians who recommend that course lose patients, if their lungs are badly diseased, and vet because they are in the house they must not sit down quiet ; they must walk about the room as much and as fast as the strength will bear, to get up a food circulation of blood. The patients must eep in good spirits—be determined to get well. This has a great deal to do witli the appetite, and is the great point to gain. To despair of cure after such evidence of its possibility in the worst cases, and moral cer tainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Schenck’s personal statement to the Faculty of his own cure was in these modest words : Many years ago I was in the last stages of consumption ; con lined to my bed, and at one time mv physicians thought that I could no live a week; then, like a drowning man catch ing at straws, I heard of and obtained the pre narations which I now offer to the public, and they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to me that I could feel them penetrate mv whole, system. They soon ripened the matter in mv lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of offensive yellow matter every.morniug for a long time. As soon as that began to subside mv cough, fevei, pain and night sweats all began* to leave me, and my appetite became so great that it was with difficulty that T could keep from eating too much. I soon gained my strength, and have grown in flesh ever since.” “I was weighed shortly after mv recovery,” added the Doctor, “then looking'like a mere skeleton; my weight was only' ninety-seven pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and twentv-flve pounds, and for years I have “ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.” Dr. Sobenck lias discontinued his professional visit to New York and Boston. He or his son. Dr. J 11. Schenck. Jr., still continue to see patients at their office, No. 15 North Si xth street, Philadelphia, every Saturday from !) a. rn., to 3 p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination with the Respirometcr will be charged five dollars. The Respirqmeter declares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readilv learn whether they are curable or not. Tba directions for taking the medicine are adapted to tlie intelligence even of a child Follow these dircctons, and kind nature will do the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man - Pills are to he ta«en in increased doses ; the three medicines need no other accompani - ments than the ample instructions that do accompany them. First create appetite. Os returning health hunger is the most welcome symptom. When it comes, as it will come, let the despairing he of good cheer. Good blood at once follows, the cough loosens, the night sxveat' is abated. In a short time both of these morbid symptoms are gone forever. * Dr. Schenck’s medicines are constantly kept in tens of thousands of families. Asa laxative, or purgative, the Mandrake Pills are a standard preparation; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a curer ofooughi and itold*. may lie regarded as a prophylaeteric against consumption in any of its forms.

A Lavnidar Cloud. ’Tis strange that here, mid nature’s laharynth Os countless beauties, earth and heavenly, We wind along a dark and narrow way. Unconscious where these striking beauties lay! And yet,-too well we know or think we tk>, To what this sombre life is doubtless flue. There is a tem’pramenr of human mind, That seeks for nothing higher than to find, While toiling in the vineyard of our God, Where sinners ride, and Christians loug have trod, The fruits which act like good Commedians, j In lieu of those like true Tradgedians. ■ Alas! with such as these, we meet too oft, And grieve to think they’ll never look aloft, But still, amid one light aqd buxom crowd, Some faces shine with wisdom ri6b?y Proud,‘ A nd like o’er nature's forest wild to roam, I And read the beauties of the azure dome! Though changeable the clouds, alike as we, Vet ne’r from these are they entirely free; But sometimes as an angel fair on earth, This beauty startles many at its birth! ’Twas this, when once upon a Summer eve, I stood upon the steps to take my leave, That drew the admiration from my soul, And poised it there, upon a spot of gold— With Lavendar and brilliant gilt Brocade, : Tlie cloud would wave, and make a deeper shade, Which, sparkling with those flowers fair of gilt, You’d thihk was gold-dust on that surface spilt. This pretty cloud, called Strata-Cumula, With base so broad, and jagged cupola, All hung upon its scalloped edge with fringe, Which gave tlie Lavendar a golden tinge, Was thus a Lavendar of Gilt-Brocade, But soon, like flowers, its beauty ’gau to fade! M. A. T. ISaT* Indiana young ladies tempt the feet of 6rring swains from the paths of dissipation by sweetly proffering bowls of butter-milk instead of the accus tomed giu and tanzy. Be nut stingy of kind words and pleasing acts, for such are fragrant gifts, whose perfume will gladden the heart and sweeten the life of all who hear or receive them. A little Loy, after watching the burning of the schoolbouse until the uuvelt} of the thing had ceased, start ed down the street, saying: “Golly, Is glad the old thing’s burned; didn’t have my j'-gfry lesson nohow 1” A lazy chap was lying in bed one morning, when a man, stepping in, said, ‘Joe, breakfast is coming on.’ ‘Let it come,’ exclaimed he, with a look of defiance, ‘l’m not afraid of it.’ S&" I don’t n.iss my church so much as you suppose,” said a lady to her minister, who had called upon her during her illness, “for I make Betsey sit at the window as soon as the bell begins to chime, aud tell who are go ing to Church, and whether they have got anything new.” t@F You must not occupy this birth with your boot ou,” fiercely said ft steamboat captain to a passenger, to which the latter st rendy replied, “Oh, never mind, Captain, I guess the bugs won’t hurt ’em much. They’re an old pair. Let ’em rip, any how.” The people of Georgia now see the result of Radical rule aad oflice holding in the Slate, in the develop ments of the State Road swindlings now being made in Atlanta. \LaGrange Reporter. B@P A bill for the emancipation of slaves has been introduced into the Brazil Chamber of Deputies, and pass ed to a second reading. It is a terrible thought to remember that nothing can be forgotten. I have somewhere read, that not an oath is uttered that does not vibrate through all time, in the wide-spreading current of souud; not a prater is lisped, that its record is not to be found stamped on the laws of nature by the indelible seal of the Almighty’s will.— [Cooper. There is a rumor in Atlanta to the effect that It. Boots 8., the celebrated Cobb county farmer, is gone to Cali fornia. That State lioad busiuess is too much for him. S££o.A drowning man plucked from the jaws of death is happier with three feet of bare rock than others with thousan of broad acres; so is the humble Christian happier with the hope of heaven than tiie men of the world are when their com and wines do most abound, and all things go well with them. * ®gk>Boys, remember you grow old every day, and if you have had bad habits they grow old too, and the ord er both get, the h .rder you are to separate. It is told of Robert Hall that, being one day engaged in a sort of world frolic with some of his clerical friends, he saw a certain bilious gentleman of the cloth approaching, and cried out; to his companions: “Let us be serious, boys ! here comes a fool!’’ The amount of freight received at Chattauooga going southward, during the month of July, was greater than it has ever been known for the same length of time since 1857.

Hard( e, of Florida, who is well ki o vn amoi g rciei.tific men, ad vances his theory of concussions as a means of preventing epidemics, &c. This theory, it is jnsL to say, has b een well received by physicians aud scien tists. Mr Hciiv.ee writes as follows : I believe in the theory advanced, that yellow fever and cholera is caused by animlacule, aud if I prove that con cussion will destroy curculias, c.dapill urs and other insects, and then it is proven that concussions will not des troy cholora or yellow fever, I claim and submit to a generous public to condemn this theory of animalcules and let the medical and scientific world look to other causes of epidem ics. But to the proof. I propose, if means be furnished me, to arrest the yellow fevJr now raging in Charleston. I will risk my own life end not charge for my personal services, find pledge my reputation for this discovery, that I will effectually arrest this fell des troyer within ten days from the first combustion, and for the benefit of mankind, I would state my action in the premises. For the city of Charleston, I wou’d use one ton ot gunpowder every night for twelve consecutive nights. I would commence at 9 o’clock p. m., using five pounds for every combus tion. I would order the windows of every bouse in the city closed, and I would use small quantities of powder in every room and cellar in the city. I would order heavy concussions in every damp lane or avenue in the city, and in fact I wuuld hunt out the pla ces most likely to be invested with an imalcules, and at the end of ten days I would ask the physicians to report the health of the city. I think they w’ould report not a single case of any discription of fever in the city, and that it would be as healthy as the mountains. Election Row in Putnan.

But there is a development surpassing this in beau ty and grandness—the developme it of human character. What object more worthy our contemplation than that of a human soul passing through each successive stage of its existence, the cultivation ol our intellect, and the bringing out that which God has en dowed 11s with ? We are born with the germ of character within us; and as our bodies develop themselves, so do our character?. Some traits of character necessarily unfold themselves with our growth; others need to bo stimulated and excited into growth by some particular influence. The man of genius has that within him which is to stamp him as such. The great gen eral has the foundation of generalship born within him; all that is needed is some powerful influence to develop it. “Grace Greenwood.” in a letter from Denver to the New York Times, siys: “Nature did antelopes an ill turn originally in affixing to them a mark by which they can be seen, and ‘a bead drawn on them’ at a great distance.— It renders them especially liable to at tacks in the rear, which reminds me of a little story. A small Colorado boy, who had been playing, ran into the house in a state of great excitement, saying that he hud seen some antelopes in a gulch near by. At his entreaty his mother went out to hok at them, but nothing of the kind was to bo found. She became inciedulous, aud said at last: “I don’t believe you saw any antelopes; it must have been your imagination, my child.” To this the little mountaineer indignantly respoi d ed: ‘Humph 1 I guess my imagination isn’t white belliud !’ ” There is a reconstructed rebel in Southwestern Georgia who employs three hundred and sixt} negroes, and will raise a cotton crop this ye; r worth SIBO,OOO.
