MRIEPLTfIBAk Power of a Horse's Se*-nt. —There is one perception that a horse possesses but little attention has been p J ''l aTV ' that is the power of scent. V ith some it is as acute as with the do?, and for the benefit of those who have to drive at night, such as physicians and others, this knowl edge is invaluable. I have never known it to fail, and have rode hundreds of miles on dark nights, and in consideration of this power of scent, this- is uiy simple advice: never check your horse at night, but give him a free bead, and you may rest assured that he will never get oft the road, and will carry you expeditiously and safe. In regard to the p>ower of scent in a horse, I onc-e knew one of a pair that was stolen, and recovered mainly by the track being traced out by his mate, and that after he had he-en absent six or eight hours. Biy Pears mid Pumpkins. —lf you want big pears or other fruit, just work on the stalk that bears them the point of an adjoining shoot, then you will see what you will see. So says a French amateur, en thusiastic in the fruit line. If you want big pumpkins and squashes, just bore a small gimlet hole in their rind when the fruit is a few weeks old. and push in along piece of candle wick with the loose end in a pan of water. The cotton will suck up the water, the pumpkin will suck the cot tun, and by the time your fruit is ripe you will have the largest pumpkin you ever seen. Unmarried Ladies. —The single state is no diminution of the beauties and the util ities of the female character ; on the con trary, our present life would lose many of the comforts, and much likewise, of what is absolutely essential to the well being of every part of society, and even of the pri vate home, without the unmarried female. The single woman is as important an ele ment ol social life and private happiness as the married women. The utilities of each are different; but it is vulgar nonsense, unworthy of manly feeling and discredit to every just one, to depreciate the unmar ried condition. Send your Child to bed. happy. —Send your child to bed happy. Whatever cares press, give it a warm good night kiss, as it goes to its pillow. The memory of this, in the stormy years which fate may have in store fur the little one, will be like Beth lehem's star to the bewildered shepherds 'My father—my mother loved me !' Fate cannot take away that heart halm. Lips parched with the world's fever, will become dewy again at this thrill of youthful mem ories. Kiss your little child before it goes to sleep. it very sickly here?' asked a son of the Emerald Isle the other day of a brother Irishman. 'Vis' was the reply ; 'a great many have died this year, who niv er died before.' New Spring and Summer Goods, 1) F.

' 1 Scrofula, or Kind's Evil, i> a constitutional disease, a corruption of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades the whole body, and may burst out in disease on any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis ! ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. What ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con stitution, descending " from parents to children unto the third and fourth generationindeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, " I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children." Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu tions not only suffer from scrofulous com plaints, but they have far less power to with stand the attacks of other diseases; conse quently, vast numbers perish bv disorders ' which, although not scrofulous ia their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consumption which de cimates the human family has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination; and many destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, j and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; their persons are invaded by this lurking in fection, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and in vigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in AYER'S Componnd Extract of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this every i where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com bined from the most active remcdials that have j been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the i system from its destructive consequences, j Hence it should be employed for the cure of i not only scrofula, but also those other affec tions which arise from it, such as ERUPTIVE : and SKIM DISEASES, ST. ANTHOXY'S FIRE, | HOSE, or ERYSIPELAS, PIMPLES, PUSTULES, | BLOTCHES, BLAIXS and BOILS, TUMORS, TETTER and SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, RIXGWORM, RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIC and MERCURIAL DIS EASES, DROPSY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief in " impurity of the blood " is founded in truth, for scrofula is a djgeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, ■ without which sound health is impossible in j contaminated constitutions. Ayer's Cathartic Pills, FOR All THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIO, are so composed that disease within the range of j ! their action can rarely withstand or evade them j i Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse, j and invigorate every' portion of the human organ- 1 | ism, correcting its diseasea action, and restoring | its healthy vitalities. As a consequence.of these properties, the invalid who is bowed di vn with pain or physical debility is astonished to find his nealth or energy restored by a remedy at once so j simple and inviting. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also many formidable and j j dangerous diseases. The agent below named is ; pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac, ; containing certificates of their cures and directions for their use in the following complaints: Costive- \ tiess, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid j Inaction of the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Ap}:e- ; I tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints, i arising from a low state of the body or obstruction | of its functions. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, FOR THE RAPID CURE OF Coughs, Cold 9, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump tion, and for the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced stages of the disease. So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu merous are the cases of its cures, that almost ' | every section of country abounds in persons pub- \ licly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its ; use. "When once tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate, j While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro- , . duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to I be forgotten. - PREPARED BY DR.
