Over the dumb Campagna sea, Out in the offing, through mist and rain, St. Peter’s Church heaves silently Like a mighty ship in pain, Fnoing the tempest with struggle and strain. Motionless waifs of ruined towers, Soundless breakers of desolate land 1 The sullen surf of the mist devours That mountain-ridge upon either hand, Eaten away from its outline grand. And over the dumb Campagna sea, Where the ship of the Chureh heaves on to wreck, Alone and silent as God must he, The Christ walks 1 Ay, but Peter’s neok Is stiff to turn on the foundering deok. Peter, Peter, if such be thy name, Now leave the ship for another to steer, And proving thy faith evermore the same, Come forth, tread out through the dark and drear, Since He who walks on the sea is here! Peter, Peter!—he does not speak— He is not as rash as in old Galilee. Safer a ship, though it toss and it leak, Than a reeling foot on n rolling seal And he’s got to be round in the girth, thinks he. Peter, Peter!—he does not stir— HU nets are heavy with sillier fish t He reckons his gains, and is keen to infer, "The broil on the shore, if the Lord should wish; But the sturgeon goes to the Cmsar’a dish.” Peter, Peter, thou fisher of men, Fisher of fish wouldat thou live instead,— Haggling for penoe with the other Ten, Cheating the market at so much a head, Griping the Bag of the traitor Dead? vnt. At the triple crow of the Gallic cock Thou weep’st not, thou, though thine eyes he dazed: What bird comes next in the tempest-shock ? Vulturesl See, —as when Bomulus gazed,— To inaugurate Rome for a world amazed 1 Elizabeth Barrett Browning. POLITE T.TP.S “ Send to the city for it,” said Mr. Hart, “you know Mrs. West always stands ready to perform any errands for you.” “Very true,” replied Mrs. H., “but lam afraid she will not suit me, her taste and mine are some what different.” “I shouldn’t think it was a very nice piece of business to select a common dress,” added Mr. H. “I think I could do it successfully myself.” It was settled, however, that Mrs. West should be solicited to purchase the dress. She had done such things before for Mrs. Hart, and found much satisfaction in accommodating her friend. She was truly a kind, noble-hearted woman, never more happy than when performing some labor of love. So Mrs: Hart sat down and wrote to her old fa miliar friend in the city, telling her what kind of a dress she wanted, and closing by asserting that she did not know how she should get it unless she depended upon her, who was always ready to ac commodate, and whose taste was very superior. The Inst clause; slipped off her pen rather reluctantly, since it did not accord with the insinuation which she dropped to her husband about Mrs. West’s lack of good taste. It wouldn’t be polite, however, when asking a favor of another, to do less than to admit superior qualifications for the business. It was not long before the new dress came. “How could she think it was pretty?” ex claimed Mr, Hart, as soon as he saw it. “I could have done better myself. Nine-penny calico is pre ferable to that homely article.” “I confess that I am disappointed,” Baid Mrs. H. “I don’t like it at all. The figure is al together too set, and it is too dark for the season. Strange that she should make such aselection! But I was a little afraid to trust her; you know I sug gested that her taste waß not perfect.” J7hat would her husband have said if he had known that her letter bad something to say about su perior taste? The next time Mrs. Hart and Mrs. WeBtmet,the latter very naturally asked the former, “ how she liked her dress “Very well, Indeed,” replied Mrs, H. “I hope you did not put yourself to much inconvenience to make the purchase.” “Noneat all; and if X had, t should have been amply repaid for it by knowing that you were well pleased with it.” A person who was in the family secrets might have seen a roguish look in the corners of Mr. Hart’s eyes, who heard this conversation; but he Baid nothing until he found himself alone with his wife, when he laughingly remarked, “ I am glad you like your dress so well.” Mrs. H. understood the point of this remark, and replied: “ What could a person do in such circumstances ? It would have been extremely Tude to tell her that I did not like it. She Would never have forgiven me in the world. I did not wish to injure her feelings, especially when she had put herself to so much trouble to accommodate me. If I had told her just as I felt about it, she would have thought me an ungrateful wretch.” u All that may be true,” responded Mr. H. “I was only thinking how many lies are told for politeness’ sake. The world has such a rule of good manners that any quantity of Mrs. Opie’s white lira are necessary to observe them,” “ Well, I think if no worse lies are told,” added his wife, “that the world would get along better than it does.” “ And better still, if none at all were told, nei ther white nor blaok," responded her husband. All this conversation was brought up afresh some days after, when Mrs, Welby called upon Mrs. Hart. Now Mrs. Welby was a meddlesome woman, and a great tattler withal, just the woman to be unpopular in a neighborhood. No one dis liked her more than Mrs. Hart, and Bbe always felt very unoomfortable in her presence. Yet she was so polite that she concealed her real feelings from her neighbor, and made herself as agreeable as possible. On the occasion referred to, she ac tually put on a most benignant smile, and said with seeming sincerity: ”1 am very happy to see you, Mrs. Welby, walk in; where have you been this long while? You have not been very neighborly of late.” There was so much apparent good feeling in this salutation that Mrs. Welby could but feel at home, and reckon Mrs. Hart among her cordial friends. It was a very pleasant call that she had on that afternoon, and she left resolved in her heart to be more neighborly in future. Mrs. Hart had time for reflection after Mrs. Welby took her leave. “Pity it is so, hut then Buoh aye the rules of etiquette,” she said to her self, ” Should I have told her that I did not wish to see her; that her room was better than her company? No, indeed. That would have been the climax of rudeness. I suppose that some people do not like me, but should I not feel insult ed if they expressed as mueh to my f ac e? Cer tainly I should. I don’t believe in such fidelity as that. We must be courteous and polite, or so ciety would soon become like pandemonium.” j She could but reeall the conversation with her husband a few days before, and conscience did not fail to class this last act with Mrs. Opifl’s white lies. However she satisfied herself with a irain of reflections like the above, and concluded that wbat was lost to truthfulness was made up in po liteness. The mind exhibits considerable tact in providing excuses for shortcomings, particularly those that grow out of social customs. It was so with Mrs. H., who was somewhat enslaved to the rules of etiquette, and she was quite of the opinion that her husband was not independent enough to forego polite lies on all occasions. Whether she was correct in this view or not, may he learned from the following incident; They were on a journey at one time, subsequent to the above period, and called npon some old ac quaintances about dinner-time. It was Saturday, a very busy time with housekeepers generally, when they are not exactly in a condition to wel come company unexpectedly, only so far as a plenty of food is concerned. Mr. and Mrs. Grimley were taken a little aback by the arrival of their old friends; for the dinner table was spread, and the pot of beans was al ready taken from the oven. If they had known that Mr. and Mrs. Hart were coming, they would hare provided something more inviting for the table than baked beans. Bat now they must make the best of it, though it was rather mortify ing. ' '' It was with many apologies that they drew around the table for no more sumptuous fare. We doubt if a dish of baked beans was ever slan dered more than that one. “ You must excuse out dinner,” said Mrs. Grim ley. “We would have had something better if we had expected company. My husband is very fond of beans, and expects to be treated to them on Saturdays; but many people do not eat them. For my part I do not think they are very pala table at any time.” “ Well,” added Mr. Grimley, in a jocose man ner, “ you will have something new under the sun to tell about, —that you were treated to baked beans on your visit to Lakeville. I think none of your neighbors can boast of such fare when away on a visit.” “You need not apologize at all,” said Mrs. Hart; “I am sure your dinner is good enough for anybody. You certainly could not have suited me any better, if you had known I was coming.” And she glanced at her husband as she said this, because she knew he had great dislike for such a dish, and for this reason she seldom cooked beans, “ No, indeed,” added Mr. Hart, who seemed to think he must say something for the special comfort of his host; “your dinner is good enough for a king, and I am quite sure you may be at ease about it so long as your guests do not com plain.” “Then you are fond of beans, are you?” in quired Mrs. Grimley. “VeryfoDd of them, indeed,” replied Mr. Hart, “ and- what is more, we seldom have them at our house, so that they are quite a rarity. Then I believe that the knowing ones say there is more nourishment in a pound of beans than there is in a pound of beefsteak.” Mrs. Hart could hardly contain herself when she heard this speech of her husband. All that he had said about “ polite lies,” and “ fashionable falsehoods,” came np afresh, and the most trium phant smile played in her eyes, which seemed to say, “ Now I have caught you; pity that preach ing and practice don’t harmoDize better.” How ever she managed to keep her countenance, though she felt somewhat like a victor. Not that she de lighted in lies, whether white or any other color, but it was pleasant to have an opportunity to pay back her pestering partner in his own coin. And then, it would prove what she had persistently advocated hitherto, that, constituted as society is, it would be accounted barbarous to he strictly truthful at all times. Her husband must suc cumb now, since he had told a “ whopper,” in or der to be courteous and show his gratitude for hospitalities tendered. His own well-spun theo ries were exploded now by his own act, and he must either condemn himself, or yield to his wife. Suffice to say, that the dinner was disposed of in due time, and Mr. Hart made a desperate ef fort to swallow beans enough to prove his words true, “ very fond of them, indeed.” It was a se vere discipline, however, and he was happy when he had enough to leave no room for suspicion. No sooner had they left the housS of Mr. Grim ley to proceed on their journey, than Mrs. Hart relieved her overflowing soul by an outburst of merriment and triumph over her husband’s po lite lie. She was discomfitted, however, in a mea sure, by the manner of his meeting the case; for he did not defend himself at ail, nor seek an ex cuse for the deception, but positively affirmed that he was wrong in doing so, and that a little more independence and conscious regard for truth wouid have been more becoming in a being accountable to God. Here is presented just one phase of social in tercourse that demands attention. There is a screw loose somewhere. When courtesy is set higher than integrity, reconstruction is necessa ry. For there is no commandment that admits deceit even when it is deemed necessary to lie in order to be polite. But, polite lies are numerous. There is a great deal of deceit and falsehood, known, perhaps, by milder names, and that, too' when the truth might be told in a courteous man ner. God has not so constituted men, nor ordained that society should he so constructed, as to make “white lies” indispensable. On the other hand, he has so arranged all things that 'truth is the corner-stone of every institution that will stand the test of time, and the law of God. There is one text of Scripture, at least, with which this feature of society has some manifest connexion: “The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray as soon as they be horn, speaking lies.” ON LIME AS A SOIL IMPROVER. Old gardens are frequently unproductive through being manured year after year with the same kind of manure, and growing the same crops. In such cases the vegetables are rank in growth and ill flavored. Potatoes and other roots watery and liable to disease, and peas and beans unproductive, and cauliflowers and cabbage subject to club dis ease. When such is the case, use no manure for a couple of years. The first spare ground you get, trench it two spits deep, if the ground will allow of it, and thoroughly mix with the earth, as you turn it over, a good dressing of fresh slaked lime, the fresher the better. My plan is, when the top spit is thrown to the bottom of the trench, to throw over the hot lime and to fork it in, and to repeat the dose of lime over the lower spit thrown to the surface. Employed in this way, lime acts as a complete renovator of old and over-manured soils, as the produce afterwards will show. The second year, I repeat the lime dressing, (about half the quantity of the first year,) forking it instead of digging the ground, as by that means the lime be comes more completely mixed with the soil. I add also a surfacing of road scrapings, if the ground is heavy, or inclined to be so. By these means, giving up manure for two years, l have succeeded in bringing an old garden soil, which would posi tively grow nothing well, into a first-class soil, producing good crops and of the best quality.— Tamer's Florist. FIGHTING. A soldier in the Mexican war thus gives his experience in the line of his professional duties: Fightiog is very hard work; the mao who has passed through atwo hours’ fight, has lived through a great amount of mental and physical labor. At the end of a battle I always found that I had per spired so profusely as to wet through all my clothes. I was as sore as if X bad been beaten all over with a club. When the battle commences the feelings un dergo a change. Bid you ever Bee your house on fire? if so, it was then you rushed into great danger; it wassthen you went over places, climbed over walls, lifted heavy loads, which you never could have done in your cooler moments; you then have experienced some of the excitement of a sol dier in battle. I always knew my danger—that at any moment I was liable to be killed, yetj such was my excitement that I never fully realized it. All men are not alike; some are cool; some are perfectly wild or crazy; others are so prostrated by fear that they are completely unnerved.—an awful sinking and relaxation of their energies takes place awfui to behold; they tremble like an aspen, slink into ditches and covert places, cry like chil dren, and are totally insensible to shame—dead to every emotion hut the overwhelming fear of instant death. We had a few, and but a few, of such in our army. ’ Thayer's Home Monthly. Sutmcati fftuesilriftmatt and G&vawijieliiat. mad dogs Every one knows that dogs are liable to a terrible disease which can be communicated .to other animals and to man; a disease frightful in its symptoms, and fatal in its effects. x>ut very few persons know what are the signs and symptoms of this disease; and since cure is impossible, prevention becomes tenfold more important. We propose, therefore, to treat this subject with the minuteness which its im portance warrants. vulgar, errors. Under this head it will be necessary to in clude almost every single notion which is popu larly held about mad dogs; for it is surprising that on a subject of this fatal interest, the cur rent ideas are not simply inaccurate; they are utterly and dangerously wrong. To begin with the one expressed in the sam e Hydrophobia, which means horror at water. This is not sun ply a misnomer, otherwise we should scarcely mention it, but a misdescription of a very seri ous kind. The name hydrophobia having been fixed in people’s minds, and the idea that rabid dogs dread water, having become part and par cel of the general belief, the sight of a dog eagerly lapping water, or willingly plunging into it, would naturally lead ninety-nine out ot a hundred to exclaim—“He drinks, therefore there can’t be 'danger.” The fact is that a burn ing thirst is one of the characteristic symptoms of rabies, in its early stages. True it is, and very curious it is, that in man an indefinable dread of water, or any other liquid, does characterize the later stages of the disease; and for the disease in man the name of hydrophobia is not inappropri ate. ,Of this we shall see examples presently. But in dogs, so far from a dread of water being a reliable symptom, it is a symptom which does not show itself more than once in fifty cases. Another popular error attributes the madness of dogs to the heat of the “ dog-days.” In July and August all kinds of precautions are taken which no one thinks of for a moment in Novem ber and December. On the Continent, a pater nal police is minutely solicitous in summer about the enforcemenfc'of its regulations. Bat the sim ple fact is, that the “ dog-days” have no more to do with the rabies than the moon has to do with lunacy. Dogs are liable to attacks in every month of the year; but it so happens that July and Au gust are precisely the months in which the fewest cases occur. Against the loose estimate of popu lar opinion, we can place the exact records of the veterinary schools of Alfort, Toulouse, and Lyons, and these show that it is not in the hottest months, but in the wettest months, that the great majority of cases are seen. In April, November, and De cember, the recorded eases are double and triple those in June, July, and August. That “heat of the weather” is not the cause of rabies, is strikingly proved by the fact that in hot countries the disease is rare, and in some, even unknown. M. Du Chaillu notiees that al though “most of the West African villages are crowded with dogs, the natives do not know, even by report, of such a disease as hydrophobia.” Dr. Watson remarks that rabies is unknown in the Isle of Cyprus aDd in Egypt. “ I fancy that South America is, or was, a stranger to it. It ap pears to have been imported into Jamaica, after that island had enjoyed an immunity for at least fifty years; and Dr. Heineker states that curs of the most wretched description abound in the is land of Madeira; that they are afflicted with al most every disease, tormented by fleas and heat, and thirst, and famine, yet no rabid dog was ever seen there. On the contrary, 1666 deaths from hydrophobia in the human subject are stated to have occurred, in Prussia, in the space of ten years.” Finally, we may remark that it is by no means true, as popularly supposed, that a man or ani mal, bitten by a road dog, will certainly take the disease. The chances are very greatly against such an event, even if no precautions be taken. Of course, no sane man would run the risk. But it is comforting to know, after surgical aid has been employed, that, even without such aid, the chances are against the disease being communicated. The errors we have just noticed are pernicious in varying degrees, but mainly because they mask the real symptoms, which might otherwise call at tention to the danger. And how great that dan ger is may be expressed in a single sentence — there is no remedy. The physician that cures is Death, Man or beast, once infected with the poison, is doomed to a certain and horrible end. This infection may be prevented, even after the bite has been given, either by surgical aid, or by a natural indisposition of the organism to he af fected by the poison; but the infection.once esta blished, no remedy avails. The records of medi cal experience contain numerous cases of harm less bites from rabid animals, but no single case of declared rabies having ever been arrested. ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE. Inasmuch as the disease may be communicated to all animals, there is practical interest in the question of its origin. No sooner, therefore, is any one bitten by a dog or cat, than immediate re course should be had to the following simple pre cautions: First, he shonld ascertain, if possible 1 , whether the animal manifests, or has manifested the signs of rabies; and secondly, having satisfied himself of the madness'of the animal, he should place himself at once in the hands of the surgeon. If he have no means of ascertaining the condition of the dog, he bad better assume the existence of rabies, and have the bitten part cut out, for safe ty. But when, as mostly happens, there can be an inquiry made respecting the dog’s condition, it would be exposing himself to needless suffering to rush at once to the surgeon. To save men from this needless suffering, and from the still greater pain of terrible anxiety, which in itself will sometimes produce insanity, the widest pub licity should be given to a knowledge of the in variable and characteristic signs of rabies. Peo ple must clear their minds of all the common er rors which the ignorance of ages has accumulated on this subject. They must learn steadily to dis credit those opinions which have hitherto formed their superstitions, and engrave deeply on their memories the certainties of scientific observation and experiment. It is indeed of great importance that the pub lic at large should know that the characteristic sign of rabies are as certainly recognisable as are the signs of measles or Bmall-pox. There are ab solute and-invariable tests by which we may prove the existence of the disease; and there are several premonitory symptoms , which, once observed, may warn us in time to escape all danger. These we shall now proceed to describe. SLATES TAKING CARE OF THEM SELVES. Says an exchange: “ The invariable argument of slaveholders when urged to emancipate their slaves, is, ‘they are unfit for freedom, and would not know how to take care of themselves. They are better off in slavery than if set free/ ‘ Many of the Northern States have similar feelings, but the following incident from the experience of Mr. Nelson, the distinguished author of the “ Cause and cure of Infidelity,” is instructive on this point. Although himself a slaveholder for many years, he could not ieel that slavery wos right, and. when the colonization scheme was started, he entered heartily into it, hoping it would do away with the evil entirely; but, soon satisfied it would never accomplish that for his country, he turned his at tention to the duty of “immediate emancipation;” and after.long and prayerful consideration of the subject, he consulted his wife, about the matter, and they decided to set their negroes free at once. So calling them together, he told them of his convictions of the sin of slavery, and that he had decided to give them free papers. Their joy was unbounded, and he was overwhelmed with their vociberous exclamations of “tank you, massa!” “ Old Isaac,” as he was called, was a very stupid, carelese, indolent fellow, who seldom did anything right, even when he was told. If sent to the barn to feed the horse, he was spre to leave the measure where the horse would kick it over, and everything he undertook seemed to go wrong. So Dr. Nelson and his wife conscientiously concluded that it would not be right to set Isaac adrift, for he never could take cafe of himself, and would be in danger of starving. I Soon after, the Doctor began to reason witn his neighbors on the sin of siaveholding, and the duty of emancipation, appealing to his own example as evidence of his sincerity. They replied that he had not liberafed all,/as Isaac was still a slave. Dr. Nelson said that it was very true, and that for conscientious reasons he did not think that it would be right to turn off such a stupid fellow, and he retained him oht of pity for him. “That is just the lease with our negroes,” they replied. “They candot take care of themselves, so we keep them for tpeir own good.” Dr. Nelson was ink quandary. He saw that he must liberate Isai) at all events, if he would have any influence with others in the matter. So he went to him as helsat in the kitchen one day, with the same leaden look upon his face, seeming more asleep than awake. “Isaac,” said Dr. N. “ Yes, massa,” drajgled Isaac. “ I have been tbiiling of giving you free pa pers.” " (Isaac loakequp, wonderingly.) “ But I am afraid if I do, youpill suffer.” (Isaac opened his eyes wider than before.) “I don’t think you can take care of yourqlf; I have no idea you can.” (Isaac looked anxioi i.) “But I have made np my mind to set you 1 ee.” “0, tank you, tan: you, massa!” < “ And Isaac, if y< i ever get hungry, just Te member there is en ugh to eat in my kitchen, and come and help ; rarself.” Isaac no sooner re ized that his master was in earnest than his face ighted up, aud he burst out, “O, tank you, tanl you, massa; freedom is de sweetest ting in de y ife world, massa!” He took his paf m and left, and for some months Dr. Nelson wmrd nothing of him." But one day, as he was tr Celling, he saw sone one ap proaching on horseh ek. As he drew near the “ivory” began to shni the eyes rolled about in rather an unusual n inner, and who should the stranger be'but “Oh Isaac" not the slave, but Isaae the freeman, ii J new suit of clothes, and with a face no longenthpid, but full of the con sciousness, and impo;ance and happiness of his new life.

It is also the first time that a nation has put to risk its re pose, its property, its integrity, its very existence) and has steadily advanced towards a point at which rupture and war were deliberately threatened, rather than become parties to any act which would make living men voluntary abettors of the consoli dation and extension of slavery. This the United States have done, and never did their citizens feel sp sorrowful as in surveying the conflict; never so proud as in reviewing the principles and steps which brought them into it. “ May God grant to them a glorious deliverance after they have suffered what may be appointed as their chastisement for past complicity in slavery! And may no doubt fall upon the mind of the nations as to whether Englishmen do or do not hate slavery more than they value favorable tariffs, or desire manageable rivals! “The Continental press is now triumphantly quoting some of our papers in proof of their favor ite doctrine that England has' neither heart nor conscience when trade is concerned.' It is utterly untrue. Mere politicians never justly represent the British people; but even among them, few, would accuse the North of acting only from sordid motives; and scarcely one would sympathize with the South. Why some have chosen to assert that not slavery, but protection, land or power, are the cause of dispute, I do not care to know. How they dare to say in the face of the British public that there is little to choose between the two pai ties, I cannot understand. ** Let us cordially sympathize with the Northern churches and pray for them, while under the grie vous sorrow, into which they and their country have been brought by their anti-slavery influence, rather than accuse them of sordid designs in their noblest deeds, accusations as groundless as those of Ame rican politicians, who ascribed our zeal for eman cipation to jealousy of their country. “ I am, dear sirs, your obedient servant, “Wm.

JEFF. DAVIS Olf TREASON. Jeff. Davis, in the Summer of 1858, in Faneuil Hall, pronounced an anathema upon traitors and treason, in language to be remembered, when he is captured. I Among culprits, there is none more odious to my mind than a public officer who fakes an oath to support the Constitution —the compact between the States binding each other for the common de fence and general welfare of the other— yet retains to himself a mental reservation that he will war upon the principles he has sworn to maintain, and, upon the property rights, the protection of which arepart ofthe compact of the Union. (Applause ) It is a crime too low to be named before this as sembly. It is me which no man with self-respect would ever commit. To smear that he will sup port the Constitution—-to take an ■ office which be longs in many of its relations to all the States, and to use it as a means of injuring a portion of the Stales of which he is thus ilte representative, IS TREASON TO EVERYTHING HONORABLE TO MAN. It is the base and'cowardly attack of him who gains the confidence of another, in order that he may wound him. ADVERTISEMENTS. MELODEOSr MANUFACTORY.

WATCH THE HEALTH OF YOUR CHIL DREN. Worms are a prolific source of sickness in children. They are seldom free from them, and by their irritation ail other diseases are aggravated. Convulsions, as well as St. Vitus.’ Dance, have been superinduced by them, and death has resulted in extreme cases. Whenever the symptoms are observed, such as disturbed sleep, grinding of the teeth, itching of the nose, weakness of the bowels, slow fever, variable appetite and fetid breath, JAYNE’S TONIC VERMIFUGE should be resorted to without delay. It is entirely harmless, is readily taken by children, effectually de stroys worms, and by its tonic action invigorates the whole system. It is prepared only by Dr. D. Jayne & Son, 242 Chestnut St., Philadelphia. COUCHS, COLDS, CONSUMPTION, Asthma, Bronchitis, &c, JAYNE’S EXPECTORANT huv brim for thirty years the Standard Bemedy. will be admitted that no better evidence of the great nrative powers of this EXPECTORANT can be offered than the grateful testimony of those who have been re stored to health by its use, and the wide-spread popu larity which, for so long a period, it has maintained in the face of alt competition, and which has created a con stantly increased demand for it in all parts of the world. As far as possible, this evidence is laid before the public from thpie to time, until the most skeptical will ac knowledge that for all pulmonary complaints, it is truly an invaluable remedy. RECENT COUGHS AND COLDS, PLEURITIC PAINS, &c., are quickly and effectually cured by its dia phoretic, soothing and expectorant power. . ASTHM Ait always cures. It overcomes the spasmo dic contraction of the air vessels, and by producing free expectoration, at once removes all difficulty of breathing. BRONCHITIS readily yields to the Expectorant. It subdues the inflammation which extends through the wind tubes, produces free expectoration, and suppresses at once the cough and pain. CONSUMPTION—For this insidious and fetal disease, no remedy on earth has ever been found so effectual. It subdues the inflammation, —relieves the cough and pain,—removes the difficulty of breathing and produces an easy expectoration, whereby all irritating ami Ob structing matters are removed from the lungs. WHOOPING COUGH is promptly relieved by this Ex pectorant. It shortens the duration of the disease one half, and greatly mitigates the suffering of the patient. In all PULMONARY COMPLAINTS, in CROUP, PLEURISY, &c., it will be found to be prompt, safe, pleasant and reliable, and may be especially commended to Ministers, Teachers and Singers, for the relief of Hoarseness, and for strengthening the organs of the voice. Bead the Following Statement: REV. RUFUS BABCOCK, D. D., Secretary of the American and Foreign Bible Society, writes:— “Having given Dr. D. Jayne’s medicines a trial in my own family, and some of them personally, Ido not hesi tate to commend them as a valuable addition to our materia medico.. The EXPECTORANT especially I con sider of inestimable value, and I know that it is highly esteemed, and frequently prescribed by some of the mo,t respectable of the regular practitioners of medicine.” Rev. B. V. R. James, Missionary in Liberia of the Pres. Board of Foreign Missions, writes:— “Your EXPECTORANT has been administered with the most happy results, and I feel assured I never used an article of medicine that produced a more sure and certain relief for the complaints for which it is recom mended.” Rev. John Dowling, D. D., Pastor of the Berean Bap tist Church, N. Y., writes:— “I have long known the virtues Of your EXPECTO RANT, and frequently tested them on myself and family, when afflicted with coughs or colds. I believe it to be one of the best remedies ever discovered for these mala dies.” Rev. N. M. Jones, Rector of Church of St. Bartholo mew, (Prot. Epis.,) Fhilada., writes: — “In ail cases resembling Consumption, I recommend your EXPECTORANT, having In so many cases wit nessed its beneficial effects.” Rev. J. J. Walsh, Missionary of the Presbyterian Board at Fultegurh, Northern India, writes:— “ Your EXPECTORANT was the means, under Provi dence, of curing a case of incipient consumption, which had been pronounced incurable by competent medical men.” Rev. Jonathan Going, D. D., while President of Granville College, Ohio, wrote:— “ While laboring under a severe Cold, Cough, and Hoarseness, my difficulty of breathing became so great that I felt in imminent*danger of suffocation, but was perfectly cured on using Dr. D. Jayne’s EXPECTO RANT.” Mrss Mary Ball, of the Protestant Episcopal Mission, Cape Palmas, West Africa, says:— “ In our mission families your medicines are a general specific, and among the sick poor they enabled me to do much good. Your EXPECTORANT has proved of great value in the case of Rev. Jacob Rambo, and in that also of Rev. Mr. Green, two of our missionaries.” j.v. o. L. Fisher, formerly pastor of the Dell Prai rie Wis. Baptist Church, writes:— « A little daughter of mine, aged seven years, had been afflicted for some time with Asthma and Palpita tion of the heart, and having tried various remedies without relief. I was persuaded to get your EXPEC TORANT and SANATIVE PILLS, and after using them she was restored to a good degree of health.” REV. SAMUEL S. DAT, Missionary of the Baptist Board, at Nellore, India, W ites “By the use of your Expectorant my Cough and Sore Throat are now well. I find, occasionaßy, an un- 3 leasant sensation in my throat, as if mucus had lodged tore, but your Expectorant usually relieves it by two or three applications.” REV. J. R. COFFMAN, of Winfiellf, Tuscarawas eo., Ohio, writes «One bottle of Javne’s Expectorant, cured my daughter of Lung Fever, after having been beyond the hope of recovery. During the attack she had a number of convulsions. She is now perfectly well.” This Expectorant, and all of Javne's.Fadui.v Medi cines, are prepared only by Dr. D. JAYNE & SON, 242 Chestnut street, and may be had of agents throughout the country. DISEASES OF THE SKIN. THOUGH THE remote or primary causes of SKIN DISEASE may be various, as IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD, LIVER COMPLAINT, SCROFULA, &e., &c., yet the immediate cause is always the same, and that is an obstruction in the pores of the skin, by which the perspiration, in its passage from the body, is arrested and confined in and under the skin, causing an intolerable itching, or an eruption of Pimples, Pustules, Ringworm, Tetter, Salt Rheum, &c., Ac. For all these affections, JAVNE’S ALTERATIVE hasbeen found an invaluable remedy, as it removes both the primary as well as the immediate causes—purifying the Blood, curing the Liver Complaint, and effectually eradicating Scrofula from the system, while, at the same time, it frees the pores nf their obstructing matters, and heals the diseased surface. Prepared only by DR. D. JAVNE & SON, 242 Chest nut St., and tor sale by agents throughout the country. WHAT CAN AIL THE CHILD?—Is its sleep dis turbed?
