THECAUSE ANDCure OFCONSUMPTION.
—The primary cause ofCousumption 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
bodv. Persons with digestion thus impaired,
having the slightest predisposition to pulmon
ary disease, or if they take cola, will be very
liable to have Consumtion of the Lungs in some
of its 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. The very first thing to be done is
to cleanse the stomach and bowels from all dis
eased mucus and sliine, which is clogging the?e
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’a Mandrake Pills.
These Pills clean the stomach and bowels of all
the dead and morbid sliine 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 bv 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, rt is in a con
dition like this that Soheuck’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, aud prepare the system for the first
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 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 purifving properties ofSchenck’s Puunonic
Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities are healed
up sound, and rav 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 grew in
flesh and get strong. If a person has and Leased
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 fs 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 Cot 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 Medizinesfw ill do
to cure Consumption. They will clean out the
stomach, sweeten and strengthen it, get up a
good digestion, anti 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 be exercised not to take
cold; keep in-doors iu 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,! 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 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 pulmonary patients against exposing
themselves to an atmosphere th.*t is not genial
and pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives’lungs
are a mass of sores, which the least change ot
atmosphere will inflame. The grand secret of
inv success with my Medicines consists in my
ability to subdue inflammation instead of pro
voking it, as many of the faculty do. An in
flamed lungcannot. with safety to the patient,
be exposed to the biting blasts of M inter or the
chilling winds of Spring or Autumn. It shoul
be carefully shielded from all irritating influ
ences. The utmost caution should 1>» ooserved
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 quauity 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 I have never seen.
About the First of October I expect to take
possession of my 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 bo
readily cured by a strict observance of the

THE SHADOWS IN THE VALLEY.
BY U. L FLASH.
There’s a mossy, shady ialley,
Where the waters wind and flow,
And the daisies sleep in winter
’Neath a coverlid of snow;
And violets, blue-eyed violets,
Bloom in beauty in the spring,
And the sunbeams kiss the wavelets
Till they seem to laugh and sing.
But in autumn, when the suulight
Crowns the cedar-covered hill,
Shadows darken in the valley,
Shadows ominous and still;
And the yellow leaves, like banners
Os an elfin host that fled,
Lined with gold and royal purple,
Flutter sadly over Head.
And these shadows, gloomy shadows,
Like dim phantoms on the ground,
Stretch their dreamy length forever
On a daisy covered mound.
And I loved her; yes, I loved her,
But the augels loved her too;
So she’s sleeping in the valley,
’Neath the sky so bright uud blue.
And no slab of pallid marble
Bears its white and ghastly head,
Telling wanderers in the vulley
Os the virtues of the dead;
But a lily is her toombstone,
And a d«_w urop pure aud bright
Is the epitaph an angel wrote
In the stiilnesa of the night.
Aud I am mournful, very mournful,
For my soul dotu ever crave
For the fading of the shadows
From that little woodland grave;
V
For the m» moVy of the loved one
From m} soul will never part,
And those in the valley
Dim the sunshine of my heart.
FORGIVE AND FORGET.
Forgive and forget—it is better
To fling every feeling aside,
Than allow the deep cankering fetter
Os revenge in thy breast to abide.
For thy step through life’s path shall be
lighter,
When the load from thy bosom is cast;
And the sky that’s above thee be brighter*
When the cloud of displeasure has passed.
Though thy spirit swell high with emotion,
To give back an injustice again,
Let it sink in oblivious ocean,
For remembrance increases the pain.
And why should we linger in sorrow,
When its shadow is passing away ;
Or seek to encounter to-morrow,
The blast that swept o’er us to-day ?
Oh, memory's a varying river,
And though it may placidly glide,
When the sunbeams of joy o'er it quiver,
It foams when the storm meets its tide.
Then stir not its current to madness,
Eor its wrath thou wilt ever regret;
Tho’ the morning beams break on thy sad
ness,
Ere the sunset, forgive and forget.
Sk aT* Is not this beautiful ? Ii was
contributed to the Home Journal by
Mrs. T. H. Beverige, of Galveston,, Tex
as:
I saw a youthful mother,
Once ou a summer’s iay,
Set down a smiling infant
To watch its frolic play;
It gamboled ou the tiowrets
That decked the carpet o’er,
And seemed with childish wonder
Each object to explore.
A something on ihe instant
its glad career arrests;
And earnestly it guzes where
A golden sunbeam rests,
While ou the new-found glory
It iixed its wandering ey^s,
And trustfully reached forth his hand
To seize the gliteriug prize.
And now i:s tiny fingers clasp
The treasure rich and rare,
W 7 hich in its baby innocence
It thought was surely there;
But ah ! that hand uncloses,
And to its earnest gaze
Reveals no gem of beauty—
No bright imprisoned rays!
And then the first of many tears
Fell ou the cherub face—
The first sad disappointment
Iu life’s uncertain race !
And thus it has been with us all,
W ho iis dark game have played—
We’ve sought to grasp the sunshine,
And only found the shade.

He Bartow Count} Fair.
The scarcity of money greatly re
duced the aiteudnnee «t this lair.—
This was to be regretted, but to be ex
pected. Never baa money been less in
circulation, in this section, than at
present. The wheut aud out crop
tailed. There is i.o corn to selL The
small amount of land in cotton has not
yielded a half crop. The only meu
who have mude any money, are* those
who had hay to sell. The hay crop
was fine and brought good prices.
The great feature of »the Fair, was
the address of Coi. Thus. Hardeman,
of Macon. This was an admirable ef
fort aud made a strong impression.—
The two lending points in the address
were the folly of yielding to despond
ency in view of our pact losses and the
consequent necessity and diguity of
labor to repair them. These points
were illustrated both by souud argu
ment, inimituble pathos and humor.—
The young people present will not
soou forget it. The address will add
much to the reputation of Col. Harde
man us a souud thinker and eloquent
speaker. As it will be published, we
loibeur an analysis.
Mr. Rochester, of Kentucky, had on
the ground a really splendid herd of
young Durham cuttle—with two ex
ceptions, with full pedigrees. We
hope Mr. Re Chester will take the
round of the Full's. Those who desire
to purchase Durham catile, can make
excellent seitciions from this herd.—
The bull, a little more thuu two years
old, is an amnial of extraordinary size
and beauty. With the exception of
Mr. Rochester’s stock, there were only
a few grade and ualive animals pres
ent.
Not more than half a dozen hogs
were ou exhibition. A pair of fiue
Berkshire were showu by Col. Abda
Johnson.
Dr. Young exhibited some very fine
Merinos. He übsured us that one of
tue rams exhibited, had sheared six
teen pounds ol unwashed wooL One
of tin be bucks was sold for S4O. Dr.
Young aloo exhibited u pen of haud
ooine grade Cots wolds.
Mrs. Spioull also exhibited two pens
of thorough-bred Meriuts. We were
informed that one or two bucks could
be purchased from her. The Meriuos
of Dr. Young and Mrs. Sproull, are
from the, flock origmully established
by Colonel W utts. They are the Slo
cum Merino, and most excellent sheep
they are—large size, heavy body, har
dy aud thrifty, and yielding heavy
fleeces of fine wool. We hope that
this Block will be preserved in its pun
ty •
The show of horses was small, but
presented some very fiue specimens.
Tue Ladies’ Department was very
limited, but exhibited some creditable
needle-work, preserved fruit, butter,
&c.
On the whole, we were disappointed
—we may say grieved. We kuew
what there was in the couuty, and
how fine the exhibition might have
been, if the people had been willing to
encounter a little trouble, for there
would have been scarcely any expense.
We venture to suggest to the Asso
ciation, that the Fair woulu receive a
rnuen larger patronage if held in a po
sition more central to the whole coun
ty, say, at Cass Station, or Kingston.

The Wealth of Age,
Godly age is beautiful, because of
its wealth •of experience. A Chris
tian course of forty, fifty, or sixty
years, is a grand volume of history,
adorned wiiii admirable illustrations
of divine grace. What joys have
thrilled, what sorrows have suddened,
whut battles have been lost and won,
in that aged heart! What a testimo
ny he cun give of tne power of grace
to sustain, of the truth of the promi
ses of God, of the changeless love and
tenderness of the Brotner and Friend
Divine! It is delightful to sit at the
feet of such a patriarch, and draw from
him the story of a consecrated life,
it you visit the far-fumed hospital of
Greenwich or Chelsea, you secure the
companionship of some war-worn, scar
ied and buttered veterans, who can
tell you stories of flood or field. The
hoary hairs of the aged Christian cov
er the head of a veteran wiiose cam
paiugs have taken place on better and
more instructive fields. As you listen
to his record of the doings of the Cap
tain of his salvation, of. victories guin
ea in moral battle-fields, of valorous
deeds doue aud suffering nobly borne
by godly comrades who have fallen by
his side, you feel that the grace of
God invests old age with peculiar in
terest, and flings a beauty arouud
hoary hairs. Let the young man lis
teu to the voice of age, and take heed
to the counsels of venerable piety.

Sew Orleans Sinking.
The New Orleans Picayune says
that for some thirty or forty days the
buttuie in frout of the Bazaar Market
aid Red Stores has beeu gradually
sinking until to-day, just below the
Red Stores, it is seven feet below the
ordinary level, ami the settlement va
ries from three to seieu feet. The
length of the bat tore vrbich has thus
sunk, is about 750 feet, and the width
120, and there is no telling when it
will stop. The City Surveyor has
mude boring! to investigate the strata,
with a view to the construction of a
work that will preveut any further
siukage, but has nut been able to gu*r
an tee the permanence ol' any wotk.
At a depth of fifty feet uothi g
more stable was found than sand,
with a very slight mixture of tnay, and
just now the Surveyor is in a quandaiy
as to what is best to be done.
At intervals in the past, the hattuie
in this vicinity has sunk in the same
way, but not to such an extent, the
greatest sinkuge we believe, heretofore
not exceeding hve feet.

Leigh Hunt describes tbe latter. “It
is a delicious moment oerinit.ly, that
of being well nestled in bed. and feel
ing that yon will drop gently to sleep.
The good is to come—not past; tbs
limbs have been just tired enough to
render tbe remaining iu one position
delightful; the lubor of the day is
done. A gentle failure of tbe percep
tions come creeping over one; tl>«
spirit of consciousness disengages it
self more aud more with slow and
hushing degrees, like a mother de
taching her hand from that of heir
sleeping child; the mind seems to have
a balmy lid cl rsiug over it, like tbe

mysterious spiriithas gone to take its
rounds.”
What inextricable confusion, rs
m irks Horn, must the world forever
have been in but for the variety which
we find in faces, tbe voices and hand
writing of men ! No security of per
son, no certainty of possession, no jus
tice between man and man, no die*
tinctiou between good and bad, friends
aud foes, father aud child, husband
aud wife, male and female. All would
have been exposed to malice, fraud,
forgery, and lust. But now every
man’s face can distinguish him in tbs
light, bis voice in tbe dark, aud hia
handwriting can speak for him though
absent, and be his witness to all gen
erations. Did this happen by chance;
or is it not a manifest as Wll as an
admirable indication of a >n

“Our dairy ! our dairy !’* screeched

a b’ow on the back of her cringing
spouse.
Mr. Spillman retreated under the
bed. In passing under the bedclothes
his hat was brushed off He remain
ed under cover for several minutes,
waiting fer a lull iu the storm. At
last his wife saw him thrusting his
head out at the foot of the bed, muoh
like a turtle from its shell.
“What are you looking for,” exclaim

“I am looking for our hat, my dear,

Forty Years Ago.
Forty years ago literature and learn
ing was supported by common sense.
Refilled nonsense had no advocates,
aud was pretty generally kicked out of
doors.
Forty years ago there were but few
merchants or insolvent debtors m the.
country, and they were rarely lmpru*
oned for debt.
Forty years ago ladies of the first
rc spec ability learned music, but it was
that of the spinning wheel.
Forty years ago age was respected/
and children knew their proper places.
Forty years ago there was honesty
intellect and integrity iu the Govern
ment.
Forty years ago Presidents refused*
to ‘sell and mart their uffices for gold
to under-servers.’
