This derange ment produces deficient nutrition and assimila tion. By assimilation I mean that process bv which the nutriment of the food is converted into blood, and thence into the solids of the body. Persons with digestion thus impaired, having the slightest predisposition to pulmon ary disease, or if they take cold, will be very liable to have Cousumtion of the Lungs in some of its forms; and I hold that it will be impossi ble to cure any case of Consumption without first restoring a good digestion and healthy as similation. The very first thing to he done is to cleanse the stomach and bowels from all dis eased mucus and slime, which is clogging these organs so that they cannot perform their func tions, and then rouse up and restore the liver to a healthy action. For this purpose the surest and best remedy 1s Schenck’s Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach and bowels of all the dead and morbid slime that is causing dis ease and decay in the whole system. They will clear out the liver of all diseased bile that has accumulated there, and rouse it up to anew and healthy action, by which natural and healthy bile is secreted. The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus clean sed by the use of Schenck’s Mandrake Pills; but there remains in the stomach an excess of acid, the organ is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bowels the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength and support, it is in a con dition like this that Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valuable remedy ever dis covered, It is alkaline, and it use will neutra lize all excess of acid, makii*f tlie stomach sweet and fresh; it will give permanent tone to this important organ, and create a good, hearty appetite, and prepare the system for the first process of a good digestion, and ultimately makegood, healthy, living blood. After this preparatory treatment, wliat remains to cure most cases of Consumption is the free and per severing use ol'Schonck’s Pulmonic Syrup. The in'cblood, and is readily absorbed mro uiu ii. dilation, and thence distributed to the diseased lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters, whether in the form ol' abscesses or tubercles, and then assists Nature to expel all the disease matter, in the form of free expectoration, when once it ripens. It is then, by the great healing and puril'ving properties of Schenck’s Puunonic Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound, and mv patient is cured. The essential thing to be done in curing Con. sumption is to get up a good appetite and a good digestion, so that the body will grow in ilesli and get strong. If a person has diseased lungs.—a cavity or abscess there, —the cavity cannot heal, the matter cannot ripen, so long as the system is below par. What is necessary to cure is anew order of things,—a good appe tite, a good nutrition, the body to grow in flesh and get fat; then Nature is helped, the cavities will heal, the matter will ripen and be thrown oil'in large quantities, and the person regain health and strength. This is the true and only plan to cure Coi sumption, and if a person is very bad, if the lungs arc not entirely destroy ed, or even if one lung is entirely gone, if there is enough vitality left in the other to heal up, there is hope. 1 have seen many persons cured with only one sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old age. This is what Schenck’s Medizinesjw ill do to cure Consumption. They will clean out the stomach, sweeten and strengthen it, get up a good digestion, and give Nature the assistance she needs to clear the system of all the disease that is in the lungs, whatever the form may be. . , It is important that while using Schenck s Medicines, care should lie exercised not to take cold; keep in-doors in cold and damp weather; avoid night air, and take out-door exercise only in a genial and warm sunshine. I wish it distinctly understood that when l recommend a patient to be careful in regard to taking cold, while using my Medicines, I do so for a special reason. A man who has but par tially recovered from the effects of a bad cold is far more liable to a relapse than one who has been entirely cured; and it is precisely tlie same in regard to Consumption. So long as the lungs are not perfectly healed, just so long is there imminent danger of a full return of tlie disease. Hence it is that Iso strenuously cau tion pulmonary patients against exposing themselves ro an atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives’ lungs are a mass of sores, which the least change of atmosphere will inflame._ The grand secret of my success with my Medicines consists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead of pro voking it, as manv of tlie faculty do. An in flamed lung cannot, with safety to the patient, be exposed to the biting blasts of Winter or tlie chilling winds of Spring or Autumn. It shoul be carefully shielded from all irritating influ ences. The utmost caution should be observed in this particular, as without it a cure under almost anv circumstances is an impossibility. The person should be kept on a wholesome and nutritious diet, and all the Medicines con tinued until the body has restored to it the nat ural (inanity of flesh and strength. 1 was myself cured by this treatment ol the worst kind of Consumption, and have lived to get fat and hearty these many years, with one lung mostly gone. I have cured thousands since, and very many have been cured by this treatment whom I have never seen. About the First of October I expect to take possession of mv new building, at the North east Corner of Sixth and Arch Sreets, where I shall be pleased to give advice to all who may require it. ~ Full directions accompany all my Remedies, so that a person in any part of the world can be readily cured by a strict observance ol the ! same.

The Nonplussed Landlord. Perrin, the landlord of the West minister Hotel, in New York, is not often nonplussed, but last August a dapper little Frenchman staggered him for a moment. Walking up to the office, he accosted Ferrin with : ‘lf you please, Monsieur, you shall send bill to fire in m3' room.’ ‘A what!’ said Ferrin looking at the thermometer, which indicated 92 degrees. ‘I wish zo bill de fire in my apart ment,’ replied the Frenchman. ‘All right, sir,’ said Ferrin with that outward imperturbility with which the true hotel-keeper receives an or dt r for anything, if it be gold dust puddling with daimoad plums. ‘John! fire in 10,001.’ Yes, sur-r-r!’ said John; and by the time the Frenchman had arrived at Ins room, John, with perspiration pour ing out of him, had the grate filled and a blaze roaring up the chimney like mad. ‘\ at ze diable you do ?’ said the as tonished foreigner. ‘l3ui!t a fire, sir, as 3*o ordered,’ re plied the other exile. ‘lne pe turn !’ s; id the Frenchman. ‘I shall roast myself wiz ze heat !’ and, rAI&hyAgjJQWli staii B T l,»v at toned shirt collar, exclaiming : ‘I n.sk 30U not for the fire.—What! think 1 wish to make myself more hot, eh ?

They who pasted safe The perils of their tiny infancy, The dangers that lay hid amongst ihe flowers here heedless childhood gamboled, and the shafts Os sickness that beset the paths of youth ; They long have triumphed o’er the pains, the ills, Ihe saddening trials of life's downward road ; They long have borne the aching heavi ness, The burdens various of protracted year*: ; But, though life's cord be yet unloosed, Death's summon’* comes to them, and they too die. Death cometh to the aged, as the night Comes to tlie weary child. It is ‘so tired,’ So heavy with the yearning of repose. It nsketh not for food, or toy, or play ; Its only wish is to lie down and sleep. So to the aged comes the night of death. With slow, still step, and lays his shad owy hand Softly and reverently on their brow, And they anew put on the robes of youth. And meet the loved—long since accounted lost, All radiant with celestial brightness, And loving with the ever-raptured joy Os beatific spirits, as they welcome home The “good and faithful servant” to liis rest, The place prepared by his approving Lord. Tears drop, all gently, when the aged die, For now their work is done, and they have long Craved heavenly domicile. This world, for them, Has nothing more; mortality at best, Is but a burden, a deep throe of pain ; On earth they labored, loved, yet suffered oft— Now heavenly fruition comes. We do not weep As when the lovely spring-bud of life’s hope Lies cold upon its mothers heaving breast; We do not mourn as when our summer joy Is withered in the blooming; or as when The fruits of autumn perish, immature. It is as when the full ripe sheaf is borne, All rich with treasure, to the granary; And therefore they are blessed who attain The reverend estate of winter’s years. /\ 11 Illlgv,* O V Utot/ Jst wV . - the dead Who die in Christ the Lord,” for they rest —ay, They rest !

Ail Unknown Land. Sailing down on the bright river of life, we seem evermore approaching the green shores of an Unknown Land, where the most beautiful flowers charm the eye, where the sweetest of bird songs greet the ear; where earth and air seem to vie with each other in the endeavor to reach perfection. On the nearer bank there are sunny flowers fragrant, as memories, and there are shady woods and smiling plains stretched out before us; and voices of pleasant duties call us thitherward. There is the lapse of murmuring streams, where little children play all day long; there is fair fruit hanging on j low branches, that wo may pluck and eat; there are bright sunrises, and glowing goings down of the sun; there are fresh airs blowing from gardens of delight, and gentle airs whispering to us of Heaven. But from all these we turn aside to gaze wistfully toward the glories of the Unknown Land. For one, there rises a fair summit of eminence, from wheuce he believes he j can see the whole world at his feet; men bowing down before him, and wo men and children singing his praises in the sunshine. For another, there are restful reach es of green meadow, stretching away under the tenderer light of stars; and when once reached, there shall be no more vexing debate about the baser things of life, but only eternal peace and quietuess. For one, there is the shining of gold on the beautiful emerald shore; gold, which will gain him power and influ ence among his fellow-men, and spread tlfenforts in his path. For one, there is the gain of friend ship, the joy of true love, to lighteu all the labors of life. He may still have to work, but his toil will be pleasure, and pain will no longer be penance when soothed by the sympathy of a kindred mind. You and I are sailing with the sil ver tide, bnt we shall never reach the shore of that unknown land ! In the spring we wait for the sum mer time; when the green, bud of the spring is full of life and colored, and bursts into a sweet blossom, we long for the joys of the harvest held; when | we are gathering the golden grain and ! the rij>e fruit, then we begin to look forward to the winter of happy fire sides; the long and silent vvinters, when we rest from onr labors. But how often, oh, how often, death steps in and breaks onr plans! How often our search ends iu disappoin rueut, because we liaYe trimmed our sails, while the sunshine lasted, for bright, little voyages to this unknown land, and forgotten the realityof that shining shore uj>on which we hop© some day to stand secure. We neglect too often the duties of to-day; we forget the blessing that surround us on every hand; we slight real friends and real joys for au un real glimpse of to-morrow. Yes, this is the Unknown Land which no one of us ever reaches! We look up to the sky, and mourn because a cloud bangs dimly above the horizon; but then we turn away and say : “It will be bright to morrow!” But to morrow’ never comes. It is al\va3's before* us, a bright picture in the air; and the sun of to-day may go down and another sun arise, yet it will only be another day after all. Let us take care of the present—let us look well to our deeds of to-day, assured that all the Future is iu His hands, who caretli for ns all. anwmstOTi, Stopping; a Newspaper. One of our exchanges has the fol lowing allegory, which we commend to the careful consideration of those gentlemen, who, the moment they see anything which displeases them in the columns of their local journal, rush to the pointing office and cry out, “stop my paper.” It is certainly anew song upon the old subject: “A certain man hit his toe against a pebble and fell headlong to the ground. He was vexed, and under the influence of auger and self suffi ciency he kicked the earth right sauci lj T . With impel curable gravity he looked to see the earth itself dissolve and come to naught. But the earth remained, and only his poor foot was injured in the encounter. This is the way of man. An article in a newspa per touches him in a weak spot, and forthwith he sends to stop his paper. With great complacency he looks to does not perceptibly feel the bhock, and injures no one but himself.” Lo! the Poor Mormon. —lt seems that the United States Court in Utah has commenced tue proseciitiou of Mormons who have more wives than one, for adultery, excluding all Mor mons from the juries.

Speakiug of the great benefit to Augusta of the Augusta Factory, the Chronicle and Sentinel, of Friday, gives these figures: Over two millions and a half of dol lars have found their way directly into the pockets of our citizens from this factory in six 3ears, besides the bene fits derived from the increase of popu lation, etc. The factory has paid out here annually more money thau it re quires to suppoF the entire municipal government and pay off interest 011 the city bonds. Putting our popula tion at 16.000 —the ceusus figures— the factory has declared since the war a cash dividend of one hundred and sixty-two dollars to each inhabitant.— At these figures the new mill which the Factory Company proposes to erect will more than compensate for the en largement of the canal. fteS* The Attorney General decides that the Government has no priority over private creditors of insolvent Na tional Banks. The question grew 7 out of the First National Bank of New Or leans which failed in 1867. &2T* A Western dairyman says the best remedy he has found for prevent ing cows holding up their milk is to “take a log-chain, double it, then lay it gently over the Cow’s back—or the small of the back—so that tne ends of j the chaiu will clear the floor. The cow loses the power of holding up her milk, and after a few trials will forget the habit.” S.II.

The last Palatka lltTald has a letter from Orange county. Flu., containing a thrilling narrative of the sinking of a good portion of OrangG county and the formation of a lake where it once stood. After relating the experience of one man, he goes to auothor, whose account is as follows: More and more wonderful. Mr. Alexander K. Foster, has just come in wit h more marvelous and startling re ports. He says that on his way from Orlando to Mil 100 vi lie, after crossing Fort Metliu branch he left the road to avoid !he constant hogging to which he was subjected. The safest placo he thought would be on the crown of m high black jack ridge, which he accor dingly took. After ridiDg perhaps a mile his horso commenced hogging/md for some dis tance it was questionable whether he * could get through, he however, reach ed more solid footing; again ho com menced bogging at this time he notic ed remarkable and portentions sounds in his rear. Ihe bogging grew worse as he progressed, until he had to dis mount, there seemed no escape for him, both he and his horse wore still bogging. The sounds in his rear in- ci eased more and more and became more alarming and the route in front more boggy—he dare not stop, as this would have rendered it impossible to have extricated himself—he neither dare nor could look behind him, his whole thought was to reach terra krma. At last, after the most super human exertions, both ho and bis horse exhausted to the utmost degroe, reached solid grouud. Turning to examine into the cause of those fear ful sounds in his rear, ha saw the most terrific and appaling sight it has ever been my fate to listen to. The first tbiug that attracted attention, was that the trees were moving, first a gir ntory motion of the top, then tome sinking gradually out of sight the top* revolving more and more rapidly aB it sunk and disappeared, others follow ing, and as they foil revolving and describing arcs of a circle against the sky. Then the whole earth as far as the eye could reach was sinking, and its place supplied by a Sea of waters, rushing, seething boiling with the noise of O ies of mighty pines and oaks. If I could only tell it to you in the language of the awe stricken witness. It must have been beyond comparison, the most fearfully, appalliuing and awe inspiring sight ever witnessed. The horse and man lie now panting at the memory of the horrors they have so miraculously escaped. AN HOUR ANl> A HALF LATEIC People are rushing from the scene of disaster. Our camp is crowded with the terror stricken inhabitants form the country in our rear. Every body is waiting with forebodings aud horrible expectations. They believe the day of judgment has come. This extraordinary phe nomena appears more and more ex traordinary. The country from two to three miles from here to Lake Medio, is entirely submerged aud is now one vast Lake. Nothing authorativo from beyond, though rumors are rife, that Orlando is swallowed up aud the wholo chain of Lakes to Lake Conway are now united aud form an immense sea. We leave immediately and iu terror for our own fate. Iu haste yours, A. F. iStruoek. Apopka, Fla. State Road Rumor*. It is rumored that Attorney-General Farrow will not ouly be aided by Hon. B. H.
