CURB OF CONSUM PTION. —The primary cause ofConsumption is derange ment of the digestive organs. This derange ment produces deficient nutrition and assimila tion. By assimilation l mean that process by which the nutriment of the food is converted into blood, and thence into the solids of the body. Persons with digestion thus impaired, h iving the slightest predisposition to pulmon ary disease, or if they take cold, will be very 1 iAble to have Consumtion of the Lungs in some of its forms; and I hold that it will be impossi ble to cure any ease of Consumption without first restoring a good digestion and healthy as- ] simßation. The very first, tiling 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 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 .hat 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 Schenok’s Mandrake Pills; but there-remnins 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. Tt is in a con dition like this that Sehenok’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 the stomaeh 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 j process of a good digestion, and ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. After this 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 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 purifying properties of Schenck’s Puunonic Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound, and my 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,—h 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 oif 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 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 only one sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old age. This is what Schenck’s Medizinisjyy 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 fichenek’s Medicines, care should be 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 I 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 blit par tially recovered from the effects of a bail cold is far more liable to a relapse than one who has 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 pulmouary patients against exposing themselves to an atmosphere that is not genial ami pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives’ lungs are a mass of sores, which the least change Os atmosphere will inflame. The grand secret of mv success with mv Medicines consists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead of pro voking it, as manv ofThe faculty do. An in flamed lung cannot, with safety to the patient, be exposed to the biting blasts of Winter or the chilling winds of Spring or Autumn. It shoul be careiully shielded from all irritating influ ences. The utmost caution should be observed i in this particular, as without it a cure under I almost any circumstances is an impossibility, i The person should be kept on a wholesome j and nutritious diet, and all the Medicines con tinued until the body has restored to it the nat- j ural quunity of flesh' and strength. j I wa> myself cured by this treatment of the j worst kincl 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 1 expect to take! possession of my new building, at the North east Corner of Sixth and Arch Sreets, where I 1 shall be pleased to give advice to all who may require it.

Music in October Number Peters’ Musical Monthly. " Twns on a beauteous Summer morn, When things were up nnd cornin', And all among the punkin vines The bumble-bees were hiunmm’; I took an early half mile walk, As every bodyd* outer, When in the cowpnth I was met By Widdtr Spriggjns’ Daughter. Her eyes were black as David’s ink, Her cheeks were red as fury, Aud one smack of htr luscious lips W ould bribe a judge or jury. I bow'd—she curcheyed just the way Her nice old Mar had taught her; She smiled—aud oh! my heart was gone To Widder Sprigging’ Daughter. Says I, “My dear, how do ye do ?” Says she, “I reckon finely;” Says I, “Os all the gals I know, You look the most devinely.” I suatched a kiss—she slapped my Lee, In fact, just as she’d orter; “Behave yourself, how dare you, sir?” Cried W’idder Spriggius’ Daughter. Just then an old rampageous sheep Who had boon feeding near, sir, Squared off, and like a ton of bricks He took oie with his head, sir; I landed in a pond, chuck full Os frog and iil liy water, And then she stood and larfed and larfid, Ihut W it.dcr Spripgii s’ D .lighter I rather guess I crawled out quick. Picked up my hat and mizzled, W T hile love’s bright torch so lately lit Out in that frog pond fizzled. Wi 11, she was married yesterday, A lawyer chap has got her; So 111 forget, if not forgive The Widder Sprigging’ Daughter. Chorus — Widder Spriggius* Daughter, Another teller’s got her; So here’s good bye, without a sigh, To Widder Spriggius* Dar ter. Early Rhing. We confess that there is some philosophy in the sentiments expressed in the extract below from the New York Times. “A light I breakfast, a cracker, and a pinch of salt,’’ i are all sliere nonsense. The writer says: All this talk about early rising is moon shine. The habit of turning out of bed in the middle of I lie night suits »ome people; let them enjoy it. But it is only folly to lay down a general rule upon the subject. Some men are tit for nothing all day after they have risen early every morning. Their en ergies are deadened, their imaginations are heavy, their spirits are depressed. It is said you can work so well in the morning.— Some people can, but others can work bes 1 at night; others again, in the afternoon. — Long trial and experiment form the only conclusive tests on these points. As forget ting up early, because Professor Gammon has written letters to the papers proving the necessity ts it, let no one be goose euough to do it. We all know the model man, aged eighty: “I invariably rise at five; I work, three hours, take alight breakfast —namely, a cracker and a pinch of salt —work five hours more; never smoke, never drink any thing, but barley water; eat no dinner, and go to bed at six in the evening.” If anybo dy finds that donkeyfied sort of life suits him by all means, let him continue it. But few' people would care to live to eigh ty on those terms. If a man cannot get well withered and crumbled up on easier terms than those, it is almost as well that he should depart before he is a nuisance to himself and a bore to everybody else.

Every hour that a child lives a quiet, tranquil, joyous life, of such sort as kittens live on hearths, squirrels, in sunshine, is just so much investment in strength and steadiness, and growth of the nervous system. Every hour that|a child lives a life of excited brain working, either in a school-room or in a ball-room, is just so much taken away from the reserved force which enables the nerves to triumph throughNhe sorrows, through the labors, through the diseases of late life.— Ag*. Men will often reprove in the weak what they will applaud in the strong. An Alabama Practical Joke. For twenty three year* eld Jake Wllll»i-d has cultivated the soil of Baldwin county, Alabama, and drawn therefrom a support for self aad wife. He is childless. Not long ago Jake left the house in search of a missing cow. His route led him through an old, worn-out patch of clay land of about six acres iu extent, in the center of which was a well twenty-five or thirty flpeef deep, ! and a', some time, probably, had furnished the inmates of a dilapidated house near by with water. In passing by this spot, an ill wind lifted Jake s “ tile” from his head and maliciously wafted it to the edge of the well, and in it tumbled Now, Jake had always practiced the vir tue of economy, and he immediately set about recovering the lost hat- —He ran to the well, uncoiled the rope which he had brought for the purpose of capturing the truant cow, and after several attempts to catch the hat with a noose, he concluded to save time by going down into the well him self. To accomplish this, he made fast one | end of the rope to a stump hard by, aud was quickly on his way down the well. It is a fact, of which Jake was no le<»s oblivious than the reader hereof, that Ned Wells was in the dilapidated building afore said, and that an old, blind horse, with a bell on his neck, who had been turned out to die, was lazily grazing within a short dis tance of the well. The devil himself or some other wicked ; spirit put it in Ned’s cranium to have a lit tle fun; so he quietly slipped up to the horse, and unbuckling the bell strap, approached with slow, measured “ ting'a-ling” the edge of the well. “Dang that blind horse,** said Jake, “he’s a coming this way sure, and haint got no more sense than to fall in here. Whoa, Ball 1” But the continued approach of the “ting a-ling,” said just as plainly as words that • Ball” wouldn’t whoa. Bcddes, Jake was at tho bottom resting, before trying to “shin it” up the rope. “Great Jerusalem!” said he, “the old cuss will be a top of me before I can say Jack Robinson. Whoa! dang you, whoa! ” , Just then Ned drew up 10 the edge of the well, aud wi h his foot kicked a little dirt into it. “Oh, Lord !” exclaimed Jake, falling on his knees at the bottom, “I’m gone now; whoa ! w-li-o a, Ball!—Oh, Lord, have mercy on ine.” Ned could hold in no longer, and fearful that Jake might suffer from his fright, lie revealed lumsclf. Probably Ned didn’t make tracks with his heels from that well. Maybe Jake wasn'n up to the top in short order; aud you might think he didn’t try every niglit lor two weeks to get a shot with his rifle at Ned. Maybe not. The editor who wrote Ills editorials with chalk on the soles of liis shoes, and went barefooted while theprinters set uptliecopy has purchased a ream of second hand en velopes, and _ngaged a girl to turn them inside out. Old Deacon sharp never told a lie; but he used to relat e this: He was standing one day before a frog pond and saw a large garter snake make an attack upon an enormous bull frog. 'llie suakc seized on the frog’s hind legs and the frog, to be on par with the snakeship, caught him by the tail, and both commeced swallowing one another, and con tinued his carnivorous operation until noth ing was left of them. Lime for Fruit Trees. — The Horticultur ist says: it is a good ptan for fruit growers to apply lime frely in their orchards every two or three years, A half bushel to each tree or one hundred bushels broadcast, per acre, will suffice.-Light loamy,lands will be the best benefittef by the lime and shell lime is better for fruit trees than the stone lime. Whitewashing Trees. Don’t whitewash the Dark upon the bodies of fruit and ornamental trees. We are at a loss to know for what purpose some persons thus coat the bark of fruit and shade trees about their premises with lime, unless it is to make them look nice. It certainty d_>es them more harm than good, as it serves to obstruct the respiratory or gans, and in a measure prevents a thrif ty growth. Should the bark become diseased and rough, or covered with moss, scrape it thoroughly with a hoe or scraper of some suitable description; after which wash thoroughly with a strong solution of soap and water. If this is done properly every season, it ] will prove a great benefit, by destroy-; ing the insects which prey upon the j b rk, and otherwise promoting a heal- j thy condition thereof, and increasing i the vigor and vitality of the trees.

Hall County Silver Mine-— We have in our office, says the Atlanta Constitution, a specimen of silver from the Hall county silver mine. The vein is six miles northeast of Gainesvilte, ten feet thick, and has only been open ed twenty feet. The assays in the United States Mint, and by Professors Shepherd and Hayes, and Drs. Bab cock nnd Jackson, show it to be worth from S2O to SGG »>er tnu for silver, and from $o to $lO for gold. The highest assay was $21,76 per ton, and the gen eral average $2 per ton greater than the Comstock lode in Nevada which last year yieldedlwelve million dollars. The mines belong to Mr. A. M.

Delirrum Tremens. A Western physician successfully used ipeeacuan na in delirum tremens. He first gave it as an emetic, and afterwards from 15 to 18 grains every other hour.— Connected with this remedy he used shower baths, and let the patients frequently drink strong beef tea, without any alcoholic stimulants.— It quieted the nervous system, excited the appetite, acted on secretions, aud uniformly produced sleep, curing the patients in nearly every case. Honor to the Sci-sous. —The news paper say:-: Some people, ignorant of whut good editing is, imagine the getting up of selected matter to be the easiest wuik iu tb ,* world to do, where-,, as it is the nicest work that is done on a paper. If they find the editor with scissors in hand, they are sure to suy, “Eu ! tins is .he way you get up origi nal matter, eh !” accompanying their new anil witty questions witu an idi otic wi> k or smile. The facts are, that thu interest, the mor.dity, the variety and usefulness of a paper depend, in no sin II degt ee, in itsse'ected mn.ter, and few m u are fully capable of the pt sition wno would not themselves be able to write many of the articles they select. A sensible editor desires c -n --stderab e -elected mat!er, because, be kuows that out mind cannot m .ku so good a paper as five or six. Anybody can soil the re nuta tion of an individual, however pure aud chaste, by uttteriug a suspicion that his enemies will believe and lr.s friends never hear of. A puff of the idle wind can take a million of .the seeds of a thistle and do a work of mischief which the husbandman must labor long to undo, the floating pu ticles being too small to be seen and too ligui to be stopped. Suca are the Seeds of slander—so easily sown so difficult io be gathered up, and yet so pernicious i . the r fi ullage. The slanderer knows that many a wind will catch up the plague and become poisoucd b) his insinuations without ever seeking ihe antidote. No reputa tion cm rtfute a sneer, nor any hu man skill prevent mischief. Games of Chance. A correspondent asks, “Why is it wrong per xt to play a chance game ?” YVe dia not know that anybody says that it is wrong, except ascetics who condemn nli kinds of recreation. It is not the fact that there is chin'd in the! games of c irds and dice that moralists oppose them; but it is because theie is such a factuation in those games that persons who play them are liable to spend too much time at them, aud be cause these are the games most gen erally used for gambling. It is dan gerous for any person to know how to j play cards, as it is sometimes difficult to resist the temptation to join in the game “just for amusement, you kuow !” —and then bv and by for small stakes—“just to make the game inter esting, yon know !”—and then— -facitis est descensus Aoerni —that is, the way of descent to the dogs and to the dev il is then made easy.

It often happens that they are the best people whose character have been most iujiiieti by slander, as we often liiul that to bo the fcweett at fruit which the birds have been pecking at. A quarrelsome couple were dis cussing the subject of epitaphs and tombstones, nud the husband said: “What kind of a stone do you sup pose they will give me when I die?”- “Brimstone, my love!” was the affec tionate reply. “Georgia promises,” says the New Orleans Picayune, “to become as noted for the uumber of fairs as for her many miles of railroad and the ex tent of her manufactures. No fewer than eight will be held between the close of September and November 21.” It would be decidedly agreeable to have Georgia noted on such grounds. The development of the State is well advertised through the medium of Fairs, and Georgia ought to have just as many of them as can be made m d itabie. Tarities, A miuister asked u, little boy who had been converted, “Does not the de vil tell yon that y' n are not a Chris tian ?’ “Yes, sometimes.” “Weil, what do you say to him?” “]. tell him,” replied the boy, with something of Luther’s spirit, “Unit, wuether I am a Christian or not, it is none of his business.” tetTA high officer in the sons of temperance presenting himself with the smell of grog he had been chink ing at the door of a ‘Division for ad mission, was waited upon by al4 lush sentinel, to whom he gave the pass word, when the following passed: “Sir,’* said he, and ye are Mister O’Wright, the Grand Worthy Patri arch of the State of Khaintucky, I do be after belavin. “A s,” said Jim, you are perfectly rigut my friend, but why do you ut-k the q-n stiou? ’ “To tell the truth, then sir, and shame the devil,” said Pat, “ye do b,o having the right and wold for a s>u ol Temperance, entirely; but by the* Holy Virgin and the blessed Saint Pathei lck ye’ve got the wrong shmeli!” The Horse from a Mo.uf Stand point. The driver who tights his horse has not got through the first, lesson iu the management of these anim.ds. Some strike theu* horses in a tit of auger; o.heis beat them as a punishment for what they conceive to be sinful nets on the part of the hor*e. Now, the fact is the horse never does wrong on purpose. Iu this respect he is better than most men. If lie refuses to puli, it is the fault of education, and if ho runs aw iy, and breaks things to pieces, it is because he is frightened. Men, when they tire sc ired do some very foolish things, and they are excused; but no allowai ci is iu .de for tlie ruii away horse. He is kicked and culled and beaten, as if wiiat wis done was done purposely to hint somebody, and not in consequence of some supposed danger, whien the p >or a aim and was trying to flee from. H uses nev r kick without a motive. They use their heels for defense; the tir t kick at the traces is given lo ward oil' what to them seems danger. No hoi he ever kicked for any other purpose. They cherish no ill feeling against any ODe, i and alwayi do as far as they know, what is right. All horses cm be edu cated to whatever the driver wishes. I hey obey cheerfully and without grumbling, even although put to rest at half rations in a cold, filthy, muddy stable. A horse cm be taught to know the harness will not hurt him.— Then lie will not kick at it ami run away. He is easily taught to pull by the traces, or by the haltei-su ap. If yon want him to pull on the ha! ev, and! you have to do is to In.eh him to something lie can easily bieak and he will soon learn to pull b;uk with such force that no biidie can In Id him. If you want him to pull well id file tra ces, give him u light load until be learns to move it, and he tviil § nil ins best at heavy loads. Horses balk or pull just as they are taught. It opes uot matter which end of the you fasten the vt ight to. '1 hey' wi.l balk us readily when hitched by "tie li'uceb, if pioperly trained, ne when Intciiei by the hulter; usd th<y pull back as faithfully by the halter, if trained to do so. as they phi! for ward when liitolnd by the hat* sto a wagon. It is an euby matter to teach a horse to refus.; to puli ;it either .Urn halfer or tracts, and it .is c as. easy'to teach him to pull by “the fi nue means.
