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 8 J. H. 9CHKNCK. M D„ Philadelphia.

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. -***- JtegrSowebody started the report the other day that Chicago was set ou tire by the “rebels.” it wouldn't sur prise us much if the young man who was milking the cow that kicked over the lump that set the barn on fire should turn out to have been a Major General in the Confederate army.— Courier Journal. 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. [ Plantation. 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.

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. Ahe present sink is not iu the water, but inside the wharves, Ate., on the spuoe over which the roads of the A'oncharirain and Chattanooga Rail road Companies pass. Iho companies have beeu coinpeliea to fill up as the ground gave way, and will probably have to keep filling for some tune to come. Our Public Hen. Jefferson cued comparatively poor.
