R EAD IT is well known to Doctors and to Ladies that Women are- subject to numerous diseases pe culiar to their sex—such as Suppression of the Menses, Whites, Painful 1 M’nthly ‘Periods,’ Rheu matism of the Rack and Womb, Irregular Men struation, Hemorrhage, or Excessive ‘Flow,’and Prolapsus Cterior Fall ing of the Womb. These diseasesliavesel •lorn been treated successfully. The profession lias soughtdill igently for some remedy that wold enable them to treat these diseases with success. At last, that remedy has l>een discovered by one of the most skilful physicians in the State of Georgia. The remedy is Bradfield’s Female Kesmlator, It is purely vegetable, and is put up in Atlan ta, by 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 as quinine is in Chills and Fevers. For a history of diseases, and certificates of its worderlul cures, the reader is referred to the wrapper around the bottle. Every bottle war ranted to give satisfaction or money refunded.

This derange ment produces deficient nutrition and assimila tion. By assimilation I mean that process by which tlie nutriment of the food is converted into blood, and thence into the solids of the body. Persons Willi* digestion thus impaired, having the slightest predisposition to pulmon ary disease, or if they take cold, will he very liable to have Consumtion of the Lungs in some of its forms: and 1 hold that it will he 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 nuieiis and slime, which i> clogging the.-e organs so that they cannot perform tlieir 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 idea 1 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 tlie liver of all diseased bile .hat has accumulated there, and rouse it up to anew and healthy action, by which natural and healthy bile is secreted. TRe stomach, bowels, and liver are thus clean sed bv the use of Schenck’s Mandrake Pills; hut there remains in the stomach an excess of acid, the organ is torpid and tlie appetite poor. 111 the bowels the laeteals are weak, and requiring strength and supnort. It is in a con dition like this that Schemk’s Seaweed Tonic proves to he the most valuable remedy ever dis covered, It is alkaline, and it use will neutra lize all excess of acid, making the 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 make good, healthv, living blood. After this preparatory treatment, what remains to cure most eases of Consumption is the free and per severing use of Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup. The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, purifies the blood, aiid 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 the disease matter, in the torm of free expectoration, when once it ripens. It is then, by the great healing and purifying properties ofSchencVs Putmonic Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound, and ray patient is cured. The essential tiling to be (lone 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 body to grow in flesh and get fat; then Nature is helped, the cavities willneal, the matter will ripen and be thrown oft'in large quantities, and the person regain health and strength. This is the true and only plan to cure COl 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 manv persons cured with only one sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old age. This is what Schenck’s Mcdizincs§*« 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 1? in the lungs, whatever the form may be. It is important that while using Sclienckls Medicines, care should he exercised nqtr to take cold; keep in-doors in cold and damp weathef; avoid night air, and take out-door exercise only in a genial and warm sunshine. I wish it distinctly understood that when I recommend a patient to be careful in regard to taking cold, while using my Medicines, 1 do so for a special reason. A man who lias but par tially recovered from the effects of a bad cold is far more liable to a relapse than one who lias been entirely cured; and it is precisely the 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. Hence it is that Iso strenuously cau tion pulmonary patients against exposing themselves to an atmosphere tli.it is not genial and pleasant. Confirmed. Consumptives’ lungs are a mass of sores, which tlie least change of, atmosphere will inflame. The grand secret of my with my Medicines consists In my ability to subdue inflammation instead of pro voking it, as many of the faculty do. An in flamed lung cannot, with safety to the patient, he exposed to the hiting blasts’of Winter or tlie chilling winds of Spring or Autumn. Itshoul l>e carefully shielded from all irritating influ ences. The utmost caution should he 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 lias restored to it tlie nat ural quanitv of flesh and strength. ] 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 mostlv gone. I have cured thousands since, and very many have been cured by this treatment whom I have never seen. \boat the First of October 1 expect to take possession of mv new building, at the North east Corner of Sixth and Arch Srccts, where I shall he 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 he readily cured by a strict observance of the same. ' J. H. fiCHENCK, M !>.. Philadelphia. Onward and Upward I* O E T 11 Y . [From thelikmthwn Magazine. The Font Cause. —r” 1 Twas on the bucks of Ruanoke, Iu a cabin begrimnued by time and smoke, Beside a ligUt-wixxMire, On a dreary, cold December night, That a maiden fair, in wretched plight, Sat with her grey-haired sire. His eyes were bent with a sudden gaze Upon the light-woodV dickering blaze; While through the dusky room Fautastic shadows came aud fled: Phantoms of images long dead Swept ghost-like through the gloom. Above the mantel-piece there hung A sword whose deeds were never sung, Though worthy of a hero’s fame, For he who bore it in the fray Went down on Gettysburg’s sad day, And sleeps without a name. An old grey jacket, faded and worn, With a single rent in the left breast torn, Hung by the chimney side; But he who wore it at Giiiues’ Mill, And rode the foremost at Malvern Hill, Will never more homeward ride. In the corner a rusty rifle stood, Leaning ag.tiust the wainscot-wood, With its breech upon the ti ,or; But the steady hand and the steady eye That ranged it at (Jhickahominy, Will draw the bead no more- The maiden looked upon her sire, • While he upon the fl ekoring fire r'His mournful gl tGces cast; mfet ever and anon his g z-s turn’d from tlie light-wood’s fitful blaze To these relic-, of the past. v ~ He murmured words she could no; hear, But she Matched Lis face as a single tear Stole down his furrowed cheek; S. e felt that words were all in vaiu To turn the current of such pain, And so she did not speak. And thus they sit while the fire burn ed low, Aud the old clock's pe. dulum to and fro Kept beating a doleful time; Without, the storm-winds shrieked and wept, And thro’ the tall pine forests swept A symphony sublime. At length the maiden spoke and said: ‘ Father, we know that they are dead, That they in honor died; But shall we not lei the dead past sleep ? * What profits us that we should weep For what is lost ? ’ she cried. “A, child !” the father made reply, “It is not all of death to die”— And here he seemed to p -.use: “It is not for them alone 1 mourn— The rifle, the sword, the jacket torn: I weep for our lost c *use! “Hud we but won I could have died Strong iu a patriot father’s pride, I could haie borne the cost; But I weep with a bitter paiu To think the sacrifice was Vain— That all, all, all is lost.” “Not lost, not lost!” the maiden cried: “The cause for which my brothers died Can never be lost to me; They fought, you say, the bitter fight To prove a people’s sacred right To shape their destiny. “I feel, tlio’ conquered, that they won; For every Southern mother’s sou Will learn by griif and wrong, When these dark clouds at length - t I J shall lift, That life’s race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong. “To lose sometimes is the surest gain; Life’s grandest blessings spring from paiu; And when their work is done, Those who have lost in this bitter fight Will prove that wrong can be conquer ed by right— That they iu trufh have won. “Our mothers shall teach our South ern youth To conquer yet with the sword of tiuth, Aud high and lofty aim; Aud the world shall see that a con quered race A nobler destiuv can trace Than ever a victor’s fame.” “God bless your words!” the old man said, As he laid his hand upon her head, With a choking voice ancS low; “I never the cruel past will blame If all my j>eopU cau say the same Before 1 hither go. “May every Southern daughter and son Feel that our cause is truls won; And that whatever thecost, In the eyes of Him who wniteth long, Who marketh the sorrow and sees the wrong, * ■! Wo cam w? ever lod !" Truths in broken doses. Without a friend, the world is a wilderness. If every oue would mend one, all would be melided. Great initials are easy in prosperity, and quit in adversity. Begin life with but little show; you may increase it afterwards. Tell not your secrets to your ser vant, for tiieu he will be your master. Religion is the best armor that a man can have; but it is the worst cloak. Experience without learning does more good than learuiug without ex perience. He is not only idle who does noth ing but he is idle who might be bet ter employed. Practice without knowledge is blind, and know ledge w ithout practice is lame. Glory is well enough for a rich man, but it is of weiy little coin* quence to a poor man with a large family. What you keep by you may change and mend, but words once spoken, you can never recall. Have nothing to do wi h a mail in a passion, for men are not like iron, to be wrought upon when hot. The world would b • more happy if persons gave up more time to uu iu u roourse of friendship. iEve.r) iliing here is as we estimate 1 /and the changes m our heart make the charges that we feel. He that lias no fiii lid and no ene my, is one of :he vulgar, and without talents, power, or energy. If you have been tempted to evil, tiy from it; it is not falling in the wa- j ter, but l}ing in it, that drowi.s. The tli -ee t hings most difficult are to keep a secret, to forget injury, and 10 make good list; of leisure. Every man lias his v e;.k side; and it is \'eiy often the case tLat this weak side is tne best part of the man. An humble man is like a good tree — he more uni of fiuit the branches art* ttie low. r beud themselves. The ear and ey es are the mind’s re - j eeivets; but the tongue is only busied in expending the treasure received. If every man would reform himself, the world’s reformation would be ac complished, and philosopher would be useless. If you would be pungent, be brief; | for it is with words as with sunbeams the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn. Leisure is a vi ry pleasant garment to look a', but it is a very bad one to wear. The luiu of millions may be traced to it. A terse writer says that Nature hkes to let the best of us find out, from time to time, that, after all, we do not know much. “ Grief kuits two in arts in closer bwiitis than happiness evtr c.m; and common suite ing is a far stiongei link tnan common j >y. A generous mind does not fee 1 as belonging to itself alone, but to the whole human ruce. We are born to serve our Ichow’ creatures. Four things are grieviously empty: A head without brains, a wit without judgment, a heart without houesty, and a purse without money. Happines and pride are absolutely iui compatible. Continual vexatious, fanc.ed slights, and injuries, provoke and wound .Ue self sufficient mind. Wd Conscience is a sleeping giant; we uiuy lull him into a longer or shorter slumber; but his stars ale frightful, and terrible is the hour wheu he i awakes. The heart o? man is a of secrets from which we bring up but one buek etfull at a time; and truth —that is, the whole tiulh—ln s still at the bottom. A contempt of the sacred rite of marriage not only endangers the mor ality of the individual, but strikes at the very foundation of social order and domestic happiness. That man only is truly brave, who fears nothing so much as c'nmiiting a mean action, ana undauntedly ful fills his duty, whatever be the dangers wlicb impede Ins way. The microscope, like most useful in ventions, has been brought to its pres ent perfection, not by a single vault of inventive genius, bao by slow and thoughtful steps of progression. ftSF* An Irishman noticing a lady passing down the street, espied two strips depending from under her man tel.

A young friend of ours, named Onmtiv, undertook to stm t a paper out in C mbrin county, a short time ugo. He said in his prospectus that he in tended to make the Milky Way lively, spicy, vigorous, fearless and entertain ing; and he did. Iu the first number he called the editor of the rival paper “a diabolical Hr.v, nil unmi ignted scoundrel, and a remorseless assassin.” He alluded t-o the mayor iu a cheerful paragraph, as n corrupt magistrate, whose torments from the remorse which festered in his soul were only surpassed by the physic 1 agony which is always the punishment of the de praved aid riotous debauchee." He soothed the feelings of the postmaster with the remark that “the. p« dilations of riiis official Dick Turpin can be compared to nothing hut the terrific robberries committed in the past by those dastardly Spanish buccaneers whom he so closely resembles in gen eral character.” He announced, un der the head of ‘Social Gossip," that a certain young man had be< n rejected the evening before by the lady of his love, and volunteered the information that it was “the wisest thing she could have done under the peculiar circum stances;” and he related how, upon the proceeding day, he heard another youth nameo Alexander Jones remark to a friend that “if anything will make a man feel juicy about the heart, it is to talk velvet to a pair of sky-colored eyes, by moonlight, iu a clover-field.” The next edition of die paper was not issued at the regular time. Finally, some copies were sent, over the town iu balloons, and they contained these remarks: “The editor has found it impossible to go out .0 hunt for news items, be cause the mayor at and the editor of the Times, aud the postmaster, and Alex ander Julies, and a number of other individuals whose names we have not been able to learn, have beeu sitting on the curbstone uml roosting mound on the back fence all tue morning w iih shot-guns aud other murderous wea pons, and looking as if they were iu earnest.

The Noble Revenge. The coffin was a plain one—a poor, miserable pine coffin. No flowers on the top; no lining of white satin for j the pale brow; no smooth ribbons about the coarse shroud. The brown hair was laid decently back, but there was no crimped cap with neat tie be neath the chin. The sufferer from cruel poverty smiled in her sleep; she had found bread, rest, and health. “I wain to see mother,” sobbed a poor little ,as the undertaker sere-top., WT oifc.ai lioLf' get' - otit of the way, bwW < Why don’t somebody take the brat ?' “Only let me see her one minute!” cried tlie helpless orphan, clutching the side of the charity box, agonized tears streamed down the cheeks on \ which no childish bloom ever lingered. Oh, it w s painful to hear him cry tlje words: “Only ouce; let me see her on ly ouce!” Quickly and brutally the heartless monster struck the boy away, so that he reeled with the blow. For a mo ment the boy stood panting with grief, and rage; his blue evils distened, his lips sprang apart, fire glittering j through his eyes as he raised his little , arm, with a most unchildish accent, I and screamed, a man I’ll kill you for that!” There was a coffin and a heap of earth between the mother and the poor forsaken child —a monument stronger than granite built in the boy’s heart to tlie memory of the heartless deed. * * * * * * * The court house was crowded to suffocation. “Does any one appear as this man’s counsel?” asked the judge. There was a silence when he had tiuished until, with lips tightly pressed together, a loc k of strange intelligence blended with haughty reserve upon Ins handsome features, a young man stepped forward wall a firm tread and kiudty e}-e, to plead for the erring and fi iendlesa He was a stranger, but at the first sentence there was silence.— The splendor of his genius eutrauced —convinced. The man who could not find a friend was acquitted. * “May God bless you, sir, I caunot,” said he. “I want no thanks,” said the stran ger. “I—l—l believe you are unknown to me. ’ “Man, I will refresh your memory.

On a beau iful summer’s day, a cler gyman was called to preach in a tow Q m Indiana, to a young Episcopal cim givgatiou. At the clone of his dis course, ho addressed Ins young hearers in, such words us these: Learn that the present life is a pre paration for and has a tendency to eternity. The present is linked to the future throughout creation, in the veg etable, in the animal, and iu the mor al world. As is the sets!, so is the fruit; as is the egg, so is the fowl; as is the boy, so is the muu; and as is the rational beiug iu this world, so will lie be in the next; Dives estranged from God Mere, is Dives estranged from God in the uexi; and Enoch walking with God here, is Enoch walking with God in a calm and better world. I beseech you, live, theD, for a blessed eternity. Go to the worm that you tread upon, and learn a lesson of w isdom. The very caterpillar seeks the so al that ten ters it for another and similar state; and more wisely tliau man, build*, its own sepulchre, from whence iu time, by a kind of resurrection, it comes forth iu anew creature in almost an angelic form. And now that which crawled Hies, and that which fed ou comparatively gross food, sips the dew that revels in neb pastures, an emblem of that paradise where flows the river of life und grows the tree of life.— Could the caterpillar have been divert ed from its proper element and mode of life, if it had never attained the but terfly’s splendid form and hue, it had perished a worthless worm. Consider her ways and be wise. Lei it not be said that ye are more negligent than worms, and that your reason is less available than their instinct. As of ten as the butterfly flits across yarn path, remember thiiFit whispers in its flighjj, “live ter the futnre.” With this the pretteher closed his discouise; but to deepen the impres sion, a butterfly, directed by the Hand which guides alike the sun mul an at om in its course, fluttered through the Cnurch, as if commissioned by Heaven t‘> repeat the exhortation. There wsw neither speech nor language, but its voice was heard saying to the gazing audience—“ Live for the Future." Wliat Age to I*lant Fruit- A correspondent of the H-tr/ieuHm id makes some very sensible remarks on this subject. He says: A great many think that a three or four-year old tree will bear sooner than, one two years younger, and the nur seryman can testify well to the demaud for trees for “immediate fruiting;” but I consider it a costly, unsatisfacto ry practice. Nearly every tree of age from the nurse lyfldTiT? future bed, and in order to lutilhtain a healtby, progressive state tlie top must be shortened in the same proportion, sometimes and by the time tuis is coftpfSted, the tree is little or no better vrafrn oue a year Or two younger, happens,/ however, it^ the majority dff cases, the trees Are neither well planted nor pruned, and the first year’s growth af ter planting iu its new' hffim? is weak, sickly, stunted, with theTehst prosp ct of fruit. ** We believe that one and two-year* old tm s are better in the end than those older; and though w’e may have to wait some time longer to get fruit, the trees are far healthier aud more productive, and give more satisfac tion.— German fmen Telegraph. Rules to Rake a Farmer Poor*' 1. Not taking a good agricultural paper. 2. Keeping no account of homo op erations. Paying no attention to tbe maxim: “A| stitch in time saves nine,” iu regard to the sowing of grain and the planting of seed at the pi oppr sea son. 3. Leaving the reapers, ploughs, cultivators, e 0., uncovered from the ruin and the neat of the stii. More money is lost iu this way tbau must people are willing to believe. 4. Permitting broken implements to be scattered over the farm until they are irreparable. Oue of the Seven Wise Men of Greece said only this to prove his sense: “The time to mend a plough is when the plough break**-” 5. Attending anctiou sales and pur chasing all kinds of trumpetry, be cause in the words of the vender the articles are “very cheap.” 6. Allowing fences to remain unre paired until strange cattle are fouud graziug in your fields and Urmaiug the fruit trees. 7. Planting fiuit trees w’ith the ex pectation of having fruit, without giv- i ing the trees half the attention requir ed* to make them produce.
