But iqe must, not;, omit ,strelt! 080*, faults as the extreme tardiness and false title page of the volume, which is called the Almanac for 1866, while its entire stook of information is drawn from the records of 1865, and refe.rs to facts now goin&o,n three years old. Nor cagive help noticing with :unqualified condemnation, the insertion of a long series of book notices,. all referring to the current issues of the day, good, bad and indiffer ent, thrust into the body of the arti cle on Manses and ministerial libraries and impliedly recommend ing„ that literature for filling, the shelves Of those libraries. Among the books adfnitted to , this po sition by our sagacious critic, are the rebel Harry Gilmor's , Four Years in the Saddle, navels or "Victor Hugo, Wilkie Collins. and Anthony Trol lops, Gail Hamilton's 13ooks, Giiffith Gaunt, (commended without ?serve) and the like. Now Mr. Wilson haii:allight to repay publish ers for sending him their "li'boks, by placing the notices, in the usual ; form, fit some appropriate part of the Almanac.,, But to use an article on Manses as the vehicle of indiscriminate puffing of clean and unclean things in this line, is an impo sition, at least on those who care to know what Mr. Wilson's views on Manses are. We say these things with regret; and we can add, that imperfect as Mr. Wilson's work is, it is the only attempt of the sort we have in the Pres byterian. Church in any part of the world, and as such is worthy of far greater.patronage than it rec eives.

A plain statement of facts. I inherited Scrofula, and many of my re'ations have died of it. In 1838 my case was frightful. Tu nazis and ulcers , sproad until in 1842, under the advice of my physi cians I went to Avon Springs. I received no benefit—tried every medicine and did every thing I could. I bad to rest my arm on a cushion, and , had not been able to raise it to my head for over a year. The discharge from two ulcers was nearly a pint a day. Amputation was recommended; but pronounced dangerous. I could not sleep, and ray sufferings were intolerable. A friend brought me an English physician who applied a salve, with which he,sidd'he had accomplished 'extraordinary cures in the hospitals in England. It commenced to relieve: I persisted in its use; it finally effected a pifect 'and entire cure: lt is ItowlB4B. It is fivi; years elms I had the appearance of a scrofulous sore, and my health has been good ever since. I procured the recipe of this wonderful ar ticle—this bless ng of humanity—and have called it "PAGE'S Cm- SUE SALV.;” and allow the public to use it or not as they choose, This is a-brief but candid statement, given more fully in my circu lar.

AS YOU LIKE IT SKIRT This is not only a new fashion, but a new article of Skirt, made on an entirely new principle, so novel and yet so perfect that the ladies contend it should be called Perfection. We would here call particular attention to the As You Like It, or flexible joint, extending down the front of the skirt; it is so constructed. that the springs fold inwardly, but not outwardly, and readily yield to the slightest pressure, ihus allowing therit to collapse, so that the skirt occupies thd smallest possible space while sitting, riding, or in passing through a crowd, and yet the moment the pressure is removed, the skirt resumes its original and beautiful shape. The novelty and utility of this contrivance needs but be seen to be appreciated. But for want of space we might here publish thou sands of extracts from letters we are daily receiving, speaking iu the highest praise of these Skirts. OUR CORSETS are now so well known for their superior shape, mate erial, and workmanship, that it is perhaps unnecessary for us to speak of them further than to say that we have greatly enlarged our assortment of styles, both of our own make and importation, and can now safely defy competition. We ask but a trial and are sure of your future patronage. Manufactured by the SHERMAN SHIRT AND CORSET COMPANY, exclusive owners of the patent for the United States.
