Whites Painful M’nthly ‘Periods,’ Rheu matism ol'the Back and Womb, Irregular Men struation, Hemorrhage, or Excessive ‘Flow,’ and Prolapsus fterior Fall ing ol the Womb. These diseases havesel dom been treated successfully. The profession ha-- sought, dill i gently for some remedy that wo'ld enable them to treat these diseases with success. At last, that remedy has lieen discovered by one of the most skilful physicians in the State of Georgia. The remedy is Bradfield’s Female Regulator. It is purely vegetable, and is put up in Atlan ta, !>;, BRA DFIELD & CO. It will purify the blood and strengthen the system, relieve irritation of the kidneys, and is a perfect specific for all the above diseases; as certain a cure a< Quinine is in < hills and Fevers.

This derange ment produces deficient nutrition and assimila tion. By assimilation I mean that process by which tiie 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 ven liable to have Constitution of the Lungs in some ofits forms; and 1 hold that it will be impossi ble to cure any case of Consumption without first restoring a good digestion and healthy as similation. Tiie very first thing to be 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 is 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 ih.it 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 ideali 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 lactcals are weak, and requiring strength and support. It is in a con dition like this that Schenek’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, making tiie stomach sweet and fresh; it will give permanent tone to this important organ, and create a good, hearty appetite, and prepare the system lor the first process of a good digestion, and ultimately makegood, healthy, living blood. After thi'* preparatory treatment, what remains to cure most cases of Consumption is the free and per severing use of Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup. The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, purifies the blood, and is readily absorbed into the cir culation. and thence distributed to the diseased lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters, whether in the form of abscesses or tubercles, and then assists Nature to expel all tiie disease matter, in tiie torm of free expectoration, when once it ripens. It is then, by the great healing and purifying properties of Schenek’s Puimonic Syrup, that :ul 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 flesh 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 bodv to grow in flesh and get fat; then Nature is helped, the cavities will heal the matter will ripen and lie thrown off iu large quantities, and the person regain health and strength. This is the true and only plan to cure Cm sumption, and if a person is very bad, if the lungs are 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. I have seen many persons cured with onlv 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 tbe disease that is in the lungs, whatever the form may be. It is important that while using Schenek’s Medicines, care should be exercised not to take cob!; keep in-doors in cold and damp weather; avoid night air, and take out-door exercise only in a genial and warm sunshine. I tvisli it distinctly understood that when I recommend a patient to be careful in regard to taking cold, wnile using my Medicines, I do so for a special reason. A man who has blit par tially recovered from tbe effects of a bail cold is far more liable to a relapse than one wrho has lieen entirely cured; and it is precisely tiie 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 the disease, lienee it is that Iso strenuously cau tion pulmonary patients against exposing themselves to an atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives’ lungs are amass of sores, which the least change of atmosphere will inflame. The grand secret of my success with my Medicines consists in ray ability to subdue inflammation instead of pro voking it, as many of tiie faculty do. An in flamed lung cannot, with safety to the patient, be exposed to the biting blasts of Winter or tbe chilling winds of Spring or Autumn. It shout be carefully shielded from all irritating influ ences. The utmost caution should be observed in this particular, as without it a cure under almost any circumstances is an impossibility. The person should he kept on a wholesome and nutritious diet, and all the Medicines con tinued until the body has restored to it the nat ural quanity of flesh and strength. I was myself cured by this treatment of 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 1 have never seen. About the First of October I expect to take possession of my new building, at the North east Corner of Sixth ami 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 lie readily cured by a strict observance of the s i me. J. H. SCHEXCK, M I>„ > Philadelphia. JAS. W.

THci Tlirre LAttic Chairs. They sat alone by the bright wtxxl fire, The gray-haired dame and the aged sire. Dreaming of days gone bv; The tear-drops fell on each wrink led cheek. They both had thoughts they could not speak, And each heart uttered a sigh. For their sud and tearful eyes des cried Three little chairs placed side by side. Against the sitting-room w 11; Old fashioned enough *ts there they stood, Their seats of flag and their frames of wood, With their backs so straight and tall. Then the sire shook his silvery head, And with trembling voice he gently said: “Mother, these emptv chairs ! They bring 11s such sad, sad thoughts to-night, We’ll put them forever out of sight. In the small, dark room up stairs.” But she answered, “Father, not yet, For 1 look at them, and I forget That the children are away; The boys come back, and our Mary, too, With her apron on, of checkered blue, And si' here ev ry day. ‘ Johnny comes back from the bil lows deep, Willie wakes from his battle-field sleep, To say g t > me; Mary’s a wife and a mo'her no more, But a tired child whose playtime is o f er, Aid ouii.es to rest a f . my kuce. “So let them stand fiore, though empty now; And every time when alone we bow At the Father’s throne to pray, We’ll ask to meet with the children above, In our Saviour’s home of rest and lo\e, Where no child goeth away.” Tears. BY FATHER RYAN. Tears trickle down our eves They do not fall to earth and dry; They so..r like angels to the skies; And, like angels, cannot die. For oh ! our immortality Sounds through each ear —sounds iu each sigh. What waves of tears surge o’er the deep Os sorrows in our restless souls! Aud they are strong, not weak, who w<ep, Those drops, from out the sea that roll Within their hearts forever more; W ithin a depth—without a shore. But ah, the tears that are not wept; The tears that never outward fall, The tears that grief, for years has kept Within us—they are best of all The tears our eyes shall never know! Are deeper than the tears that flow’, Each night, upon earth’s flowers be low, The dew comes down from dark est skies; Aud every night our tears of woe Go up, like dews, to Paradise; To keep iu bloom, and make more fair The flowers of crow ns we yet shall wear. For ah, the sures! w’ay to God Is up the lonely stream of tears That flow, when bending ’ueath his rod, And till the tide of our past years. On laughter’s billows hearts are tossed — On waves of tears no heart is lost. Flow on ye tears! and bear me home! Flow on, ye waves of deeper woe !

A few nights since, at a late hour, the sj eaking tube at the office of one of New Haven’s popular physi cians was used by some midnight wag, to the following effect : The doctor was in a sound sleep, when he was partially awakened by a “ halloo” through the tube, when the following dialogue took place; “Well, wuat do you waut ?” “Does Dr. Joues live here ?” “Yes, what do you waut?” “Are you Dr. Jones?” “Yes— yes! what do j’ou want?” hy, how long have you lived here ?” ‘ Some twenty years; why?” “W hy? why dont’t you move?" “If you stay there about ten seconds more you 11 find lam moving!” and be bounded out of bed, but the pa tient was heard “moving” down the street at a rate that defied pursuit. Temperance.— One of the beat tem perance sermons ever delivered is this sentence by the late Rev. S imuel J. May: “If it is a small sacrifice for you to give up drinking wine, do it for the sake of others; if it is a great sacrifice, do it for your own sake.” There is no funeral so sad to follow as the funeral of our own youth, which we have been pumperiug with fond de sires, ambitious hopes, and all the bright berries that hang in poisouous clusters ov. r the path of life. “That man,” says a wag, “came to this city forty years ago, purchased a basket, and commenced gathering rags. How much do you suppose he is worth now?’ We gave it up. “Nothing.” he continued, after a pause, “aud he owes for the basket.” Suabbles, an old bachelor, shows his stockings, which he had just darned, to a maiden lady, who contemptuously remarked, “Pretty good for a man darner.” Whereupon, Squabbles re joins, “Yes, good euough lor a woman, darn her." Keep up Appearance*. The following closely practical ser mon on an approved maxim is copied from the Marine Farmer, in which it appeared some thirty-five years ago. The author of it is still living, and says he has found no reason to change his convictions: If a man be poor let him keep the secret of the fact lo himself. Let the secret out, and ten to one his friends will forsake him, and e-fen throw bar riers in his path. Belter wear your best coat, and carry a bold and inde pendent front, than to stoop to the earth, beg for employment aDd whine over your distresses. Human nature is such tnat mankind will assist the rich and throw opportunities in their wav to make money, whila they ex clude the poor from every privilege.— Let it be known that your property is all gone,, and every bill will be sent and an immedate settlement insisted upon; wheu, if you were considered wealthy, your creditors would wait a twelvemonth for their dues, and then press the payment very lightly.— Therefore, resolve Dover to make kuoVfrn yoor poverty, but keep up good spirits, aud you will see your way clear to a good livirtg. tile Printer’* Proverbs. Never sendest t hou an article for publication without giving the editor thy name, for thy name oftentimes se cures publication to a worthless arti cle. Thou should’st not rap at the door of a printing office, for he that answer eth the rap sueereth in his sleeves aud looaetb time/ Neither do thou loaf about, ask questions, or knock down type, or the boys will love thee like they do shade tress—when thou leaveth. Thou should ’st never read the copy on the printer’s case, or the sharp and hooked container thereof, or he may knock thee down. Never inquire thou of the editor for the news, for behold, it is his business at the appointed time, to give it thee without asking. It is uot right that thou should’st ask him who is the author of an arti cle, for his duty requireth him to keep such things to himself. When thou dost enter into his office, take heed unto thyself that thou dost not look at what may be lying open and concerneth thee not, feu: that is not meet in the sight of good breed ing. Neither examine thou the preof sheet, for it is not ready to meet thine eye, that thou mayest understand. Prefer thine own town paper to any nther, and subscribe for it immediate- Pay for it in advance and it shall be well with thee and thine. I£?*A gentleman in Alabama, in ex erting himself one day felt a sudden pain'and fearing his internal machine ry had been thrown out of gear, sent for a negro of his plantation, who made some pretentions to medical skill, to prescribe for him’ The ne gro, having investigated the cause, prepared and administered a dose to his patient with the utmost confidence of a speedy cure. No relief being ex perienced, however, the gentleman sent for a physician, who, on arriving, inquired of the negro what medicine he had given his master. Bob prompt ly responded— “ Rosin and alum, sir.” “What did you give them for?” con tinued the doctor. “Why,” replied Bob, “de alum to draw the parts togedder, aud the ros in to sodder 'urn.” The patient eventually recovered. W6“A duel was fought at Grantville S. C., on Sunday morning, between Captain Wm. D’Antignac, of Augusta, and Mr. John Dell, of St. Louis, Mis souri, who has been living at Augusta for some months past. It was the re sult of a quarrel, Friday night, which ended in D’Antignac’s striking Dell, who thereupon sent his assailant a peremptory challenge. The weapons used were Colt’s navy pistols, and the distance fifteen paces. Two shots were exchanged, the second of which resulted in Dell’s being shot through both legs just above the knee. His wound is considered a serious one. Both parties returned to Augusta the same day. News Items. A Surprise. -The Democrats of Georgia will doubtless be surprised at the following extract from the edito rial column of the New York Herald. We have certainly heard nothing of any such line of action being taken by the Democratic party as is stated by the Herald : The Georgia Democrats claim that Gov. Bullock has been absent from that State for three months, and that his title to the office is vitiated. As there is no Lieutenant Governor they propose to name the Speaker of the House as Governor and leave their action to be approved by the Legisla ture. Tnis is rather a high-handed proposition, and it would be well for Bullock to hurry back to his charge.— Monroe Advocate. Mr Simmes, late postmaster at At lanta, was in Washing!on a few days ago endeavoring to relieve himself from the charge of embezzling the government post office funds to the amount of thirty thousand dollars. Simmes says he eaunot understand where the missing funds have gone. It is thought his own paper and ac count will convict him. A specjil agent is now in charge of his office.— Monroe Advertiser. It is believed that Paymaster Hodge’s defalcations will amount to $1,200,000. His penitential letter to Generul Brice is published. He con fesses to stealing $450,000, and says he is glad the truth is known for he has been “in a hell upon earth for years.” Hodge has been lodged in Fort McHenry. The name or Gen. Joseph E. John ston has been suggested by a corres pondent of the Savannah Republican as a canidatefor Mayor of that city. If the people of that city desire » change in their municipal government, we are quite sure they could not se lect a truer, better man than General Johmton.

If this world, with its sunshine* it# flowers, its singing birds, its gorgeous sunsets, its distant, dreamy landscapes, is so beautifol, eursed ns it is with sin, how ti'an seen den tly beautiful must that sinless world, the borne of the home of the Christian, be; and bow earnestly should we strive to euter in to that rest promised in that home letem il in the heavens. How pitiful, how empty, how unsat isfying, are the perishing things of |this .ife when compared to those of an eternal nature. But though ibis b» jrue, how we grovel here beloW—how we toil to get gain, as though we ex pected to live here tbrougu endless ikges. In our mad lush with the gid dy throng after the things of earth, we seem to forget that w« are accounta ble beings that the body must die and the soul be resurrected to eter nal happiness or misery. The ministry of Christ, while upon earth, was endeed a beautiful one— “was one of full love, full of meekness, full of forgiveness, full of suffering— and what an incentive it ought to be td draw us poor earth-we ry pilgrims to Him —to induce us to love, honor and obey the teaching He then left on record. —And what is the reward promised? A home, an endless home, 1111 that “house not made with hands,’ eternal in the heavens.” No labor We can render—no amount of suffer ing we mav have to undergo in lias world—will compensate in the remo test degree for that home Christ died td purchase for us.—ls we are ever so fortunate as to get there, these weary, eiartn-burdened souls will tied rest—a so peaC' ful, so joyous, so overpow eringiy sweet—that we will be lost in wonder and praise at the matchless mercy and love of God in permitting us to enter such a rest. Eternal rest ! What a sweet and pleasant thought that when all these and; ys of pain and sorrow and work are ended, there will come the folding of InJnds, and the gates of that house, eternal in the heavens, will, if we are obedient and faithful Christians, be tlijowu open to receive our tired souls. Yes, sweet, when sorrow and weari ness are our only companions, to re member that the hour is not for away when the Father will hold the tired hands of His child in His, will seal the aching eye with sleep, and breathe un deb its trembling lid the sweet dream of that rest eternal in ihe mansions of the| redeemed. Health and Happiness. Tlhe two things which conduce most to L|ealth and happiness, are labor and abstinence. Spartan severities are not recommended, for they would not be c mjucive eitherto health or happiness; but that degree of labor which is not oppressive, and that quantity of food which suffices to support nature with out loadiug the stomach. But labor aud abstinence are two things which mankind take most pains to avoid. Yet what can ex rcise a more healthy influence, both upon the miud and body, than these? And not only should a man be temperate in food, but mod erate in all things. Moderation of disposition teaches us to restrain ail the evil working of the miud -to re press jealousies, envy, anger, malice, hatred, and all those baneful passions which have ruined the health and peace of thousands. It directs us, 00, to cultivate all the benevolent feelings of our nature, to moderate our desires, and, above nil, to do unto oth ers as we would they should do unto us. By this means we shall ensure peace and tranquility, w hich are ab solutely requisite to the full enjoyment of all the faculties of the mind* and that through performance of all the animal functions of the body without any impediment, pain, or molestation. Ihe mind thus disengaged from tu multuous passion, and the body free from disorders, render existence n happiness to us, and life an object to desiie, while the loss ofthise blessings implies the loss of everything pleasant, and delectable. ‘To enjoy good health/ say s St. E' remond, a celebrated Erench philosopher, “is better than to com mand lie whole world. Health is the fountain o: every blessing; for without this, w<j> could not relish the most ex quisite pleasures, or enjoy the most desirable objects.” Without beallh we can neither be happy in ourselves,, nor useful—at least in any considera ble degree— to our. friends or to socip ly* Much, undoubtedly, d< pend on original vigor of constitution; but, by a judicious attention to vauous partic ulars, health may, in many cases, be preserved, where it would otherwise lie lost. IJ/iusi raled Record and Mejwsitoi'y. A marble cutter near Lockport recently received from a German an order for a tombstone with the follow ing epitaph; ‘My wife Susan is dead; if she had lived till next Friday, slic’d been ded shust two weeks. Asa tree falls so must she stand. All things is impossible mit God.’ Os nil the duties, the love of truth, with faith and constancy in it,, ranks first and highest. Truth is god. To love God and to love the truth are one aud the same thing. —Silvio Fellica. A model institution-— the patent of fice at Washington. NUMBER ».
