The MEANS HOTEL, is one of the LARGEST and BUSfT ARRANGED Houses in the country—lt is fitted up in the most modern and improved style, and no paius are spued to ,c.ako it a pleaseut anil Agfter.blo Rtoppngi riico fur alf, vfl-c?Ry Yu TUB peculiar taint or fs infection which wo C (l % SCROFULA lurks in the constitutions of ay multitudes of men. It o either produces or is 1PV | produced by an en r.l'eeblcd. vitiated state £ , ifeof the blood, wherein fluid becomes in- K vital forces in their v igorous action, and SLL™®" eaves the system to V v£~3i--^ s *— fell into disorder and decay. The scrofulous contamination is va riously caused by mercurial disease, low living, disordered digestion from unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the constitution, descending "from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, " I will vi>it the iniquities of the fathers upon their children." The diseases it originates take various names, according to the organs it attacks. In the lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally Consumption; in the glands, swellings which suppurate and be come ulcerous sores; in the stomach onil bowels, derangements which produce indi gestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous affections. These, all having the same origin, require tho same remedy, viz., purification nnd invigora tion of the bloo-.1. l'urify the blood, nnd these dangerous distempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you cannot have health; with that "life of the flesh" healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease. Ayor's Sarsaparilla is compounded from the most effectual anti dotes that medical science has discovered for this afflicting distemper, and for the cure of the disorders it entails. That it is far supe rior to any oilier remedy yet devised, is known by all who have given it a trial. That it does combine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect upon this class of complaints, is indisputably proven by the great multitude of publicly known and remarkable cures it has made of the Nil lowing diseases: King's Evil, or Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fire, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tuberculous deposits in tho lungs, White SwelliEgs, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases, Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the w hole series of complaints that arise from impurity of the blood. Minute reports of individual cases may be found in AYEK'S AMERICAN ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein may bo learned the directions for its use, ana some of the remarkable cures which it has made when ail other remedies had failed to afford relief. Those cases are purposely taken from all sections of the country, in order that every reader nuiv have access to some one who can sjic-ak to liim of its benefits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far more subject to disease and its fatal results than are healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does greatly shorten, the average duration of human life. The vast importance of these considerations has led us to spend years in perfecting a remedy which is adequate l to its cure. This we now offer to the public under the name of Avtu's FVAIISAI'AHIJ.I.A, although it is composed of ingredients, some of which exceed the best of Sarsapai lila in alterative power, lly its uid you may protect yourself from the suffer ing and danger of these disorders, l'urge out the- foul corruptions that rot and fester in the blood, purge Out the causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow. By its pecu liar riiiucs this remedy stimulates the vital functions, and thus expels the distempers which lqrk within the system or burst out on any part of it. We know the public have heen deceived hy many Compounds of Sarsajxtrilla, that promised much and did nothing; but they will neither be deceiveil nor disappointed in this. Its virtues have been proven by abun dant trial, and there remains no question of its surpassing, excellence for the cure of the afflicting disease* it is intended to rcacii. Although under the same name, it is a very different medicine from any other which has been before lite peuple, anil is far more cf fottu.il than any other which luu ever botn Rvailublo to the in. AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, Tlio World's Great Remedy for Coughs, Colds, Incipient Con sumption, and for tno relief of Consumptive patients in advanced stages cf the disease. This has been so long used and so uni versally known, that we need do no more than assure the public that its quality is kept up to the la st it ever has been, and that it may be relied on to do all it has ever done.

Though richly dressed, there was nothing of the fop about him. lie wore no jewel- J ry beyond the small diamond ring that shone upon the ungloved hand. His eye was drinking in the scene around him. The paiutiugs, the works ot the fa mous artists of the olden time—the massive doric pillars, the richly frescoed ceiling, the tcssclated aisles, the narrow pews of j polished walnut, the pulpit of porphyry, j ornamented with Latin inscriptions and cherub faces—the windows of stained glass, the sombre organ with its high lluted front; ] as he calmly surveyed these, and felt the holy presence that filled the pal;K:e, a beau tiful placidness rested upon his featueis, and more than one girlish face was turned at furtive moments towards his. The ceremony was drawing to a close, and the de< p, solemn tones of the organ floated through the church. It was a mas ter hand that touched the keys. Music seemed to assume personification in that, dim old room. Now the tones were loud, ! Tevorbefating, then low, soft, flute-like, and ever and anon changing from allegro adanfe, in which the improvised introduc tories seemed more cnclrmting than either. The playing was superb—and yet it was not that which made him bend his head more attentively, and a brighter light to irradiate his face. It was toe soprano voice in the choir that was touching bis heart with its exquisite sweetness. lie seemed to hold his breath lest the smallest intorva- melodious voice it was. Others had list ened to its witchery, and had felt their worship touched by a better inspiration. It rose and fell in a sort of easy volupt uousness. When it trembled it was the tremor of pathos, and w hen it changed to its rigidness, it was thcassurar.cc, the pos itiveness of faith. The young man looked up at the choir, and among the array of beauty there, his keen eye detected the singer. Her face was upturned, her eyes were closed, and the light f:om the window oyer head seem ed to change into spiritual radiancy as it fell around her. After the closing of the ceremony, the young tyan waited at the foot of the nar row stairs leading from the gallery. The singer was leaning upon her father's arm, and her eyes were still closed. She was blind / The young man was startled at first when this fact dawned upon his mind, but as he took another glance at that sweet face, his heart went out toward her with a yet warmer glow. It was an ova! face, and spiritually fair; the skin was almost transparent, and the velvet lips were tinged with vermillion.— Iler form was well developed, every mo tion expressive of grace, and the beauty of her attire consisted in its simplicity alone ; almost anv other fabric or airanjjiment would hav4uAn in antagonisn) With that trusting, child-like face. Her dress was of plain calico, unadorned by jewelry, while a shawl of a sort of neutral lint was thrown negligently over her shoulders, partly con cealing her full ripe bust, and covering but to the elbow the plump, snowy arm that rested within her father's; ****** Earnest Ilarcourt, the young stranger, was seated beside the blind singer of the catlircdal. One arm was thrown confid ingly around his neck, while the face up turned to his was lightened with the new life that had been born in her soul. They were in an artist's studio, and a face, a very, prototype of the blind girl's, that rested against the easel, told the story of hours of such communions. " Miriam, my beloved," spoke the young man, 44 you must be ray wife. You must come to tny home." 44 And my father Ernest ? 0! I cannot leave him !" your home and his." 44 Ernest, I know I love you. I cannot see your face ; I cannot see your eye kin dle wbepyou speak; but I can hear your voice and feel your warm caress. There is, too, R spiritual essence about yon that draws me towards you, and that lolls my instinct, and assures my reason, that you are all that is toble and true. Bit, think of it, Ernest! I— but a poor, ignorant blind girl —A very child !" 44 For this do I love yon above aught else. You are not ignorant. 1 have sat at your feet for hours, a quiet, listening pupil. You have revealed to me how beautiful I can make my life. You have turned my aspirations towards all that is noble and grand. Floating, idly on the sea of life, a reckless, aimless voyager, did you not come to me and direct me in the beatcu channel — becoming to me compass chart and guide.? You are blind ! Should 1 uot love you all the more for that?" Let my eyes be your eye 3. I will bo sight uu- to you, the same as you have been spirit ual sight unto me." " But your family, Ernest. What will your sister say when you bring home a fragile, blind, portionless girl 1" " My sister Ella is a WOMAY, Miriam— kind, loviug, appreciating — subject to de licious transports, happy in her organism, and a dreamer of beautiful dreams. Had you not one redeeming quality, she would love you for my sake alone. #**•* " Ella, this is my wife 1" This was all that Ernest Ilarteourt said. I The driver was unstrapping the trunks from the coach, and was placing them on the giaveied walk. Ernest was standing on the verandah, with his beautiful wife leaning on his arm. " Welcome home, MV sister. I can speak those words with a willing heart to any bride my dear brother would bring to his I home." | " Thank yon, thank yon, Ella ; and be foro many days you shall say it for MY sake, O ! how kind and sweet your voice is ! 1 wish I could sec your face and look into your eyes !" ll was a touching sight to see those two women weeping in each other's arms, just J as if that friendship had been a friendship of many yeais. Ella's face was beautiful, but ot a different style from Miriam's. It was full of freshness, and verging as close upon boldness as any face dare verge and | vet be thoroughly feminine. It was an in | tellectuaHaee, classic and prominent in its outline, with tempting lips, black eyes, and hair dark and luxuriant, a vexation, to the white fingers that daily essayed to bring it into a semblance of staidness. And Ella did learn to love that sweet girl for herself alone. She was so kind, so beautiful, so trusting! Ella grew better from hor companionship ; and Miriam gui ded her in just the same quiet way, seem ingly passive and yet positive withal that she guided Ernest. The latter was very happy; his aristo cratic friends wondered at his choice, but that was nothing to him. He loved his wife, and the warm, gushing manner in which she reciprocated il, was more than life to him. Often, in the still summer evenings, her voice would steal out on the air, echoing in the groves, and floating among the shrub the frescoed dome of the cathedral at llhcims. •**•• Again Ernest Ilarcourt stood on the ver andah. while the stage described a half circle in front OF THE door. Ho had been absent for a month, and his sister Ella again met him at the door. There was something very warm in her greeting, and her eyes twinkled with a more tbau com mon meaning. 44 llow is Miriam J" he asked. "Quite well. She is waiting for you in the parlor." She led the way into the room. Miriam was sitting on the sofa. The lashes of those closed lids were lying like a shadow upon her fair cheek. Eruest came up to her and took her hand. 44 Well," he said, kindly, "bow is my little blind wife ?" 4I Very glad to see her dear huband I" He started at the significance of tho words — but more so when a pair of sweet brown eyes flashed their radiancy into his face. They were welling in liquid light— on fire with a freshness come to them after years of dull heavy darkness. 44 Miriam, Miriam, how is this ?" Ernest knelt at her feet; he took her joyfully in his arms and covered her cheeks and lips with kisses. 14 All 1 know is, ' that whereas I was blind, 1 now see.' " 41 Blessed be God for this I" said Ernest. " Miriam's blindness was brought upon her through sickness, when she was about seven years old," said Ella. " When I be came anare of this, I consulted Dr. M , the celebrated optician. He examined her eyes and said that he could restore her sight, and he has done so." 44 Ernest, do you love me more now ? ' Miriam took his hand and looked up in to his face: 44 No, not more — but I am 60 happy — happy for your sake Miriam." HUMILITY. —If thou art a vessel of gold, and thy brother but of wood, be not high minded ; it is God that maketh thee to dif fer ; the more bounty God shows, toe more humility lie requires; those mines that are richest are deepest ; those that are highest seem smallest; the goodliest building has the lowest foundation ; the more God honoreth men, the more tlicy should huinblo themselves ; the more fruit, the lower the branch on which it grows: pride is ever the companion of einpliness. Oh how full was the apostle, yet how low was his language of himself, —least of all saints, last of all apostles, chief of sinners ; no sufficiency to think, no abilities to do ; all that he is, he is by divine grace, marriage of Edward A, Flint to Miss Henrietta Steel SHOWS that the spark produced "a tender glow." — JKT It is better to sow a young heart with generous thoughts and deeds than a field with com, since the hearts harvest is perpetual. It is now stated that the European Conference will meet not at Munich, but in Paris. England still hesitates, and de mands explanations before she will give | her official couacut. KKEP YOUR SCRAP BOOKS. —Every one who takes a newspaper which he in the least degree appreciates will often ferret to see any one number thrown aside for waste paper, which contains some mterresting and important articals. A good way toprfcserve these is by tho use of a scrap book. Ooc who has never been accustomed thus to preserve short articles can hardly estimate the pleasure it affords to sit down and tarn over the pleasant, familiar pages. Hero a choice piece of poetry meets the eye, which you remember you were so glad to see in the paper, but which you long since bad lost had it not been for your scrap book.— There is a witty anecdote, it does you good to laugh over it yet, though for the twenti eth time. Next is a valuable receipt yoa had almost forgotten, and which you found just in time to save much perplexity, There is a sweet story, the memory of which has cheered and encouraged you many a time when almost ready to despair under the pressure of life's cares and trials. Indeed, you can hardly take upasingle paper with out re-perusing. Just glance over the sheet before yon and see how maoy valuable items it contains that would be of service to you a hundred times in life. A choice thought is far more precious than a bit of glittering gold. Hoard with care the precious gems, and sec at the end of the year what rich treasure you have accumlated. A CAUTIOUS JUDGE. —An Irish Jadge tried two notorious fellows for highway rob bery. To the astonishment of the court as well as of the prisoners themselves, they were found not guilty. As they were being removed from the bar, the judge, addressing the jailor, said : "Mr. Murphy, you wonld keep those two respectable gentlemen until seven or half past seven o' clock, for I mean to set out for Dublin at five, and I should like to have at least two hours start of them. EATING AT THE WRONO TIME.— It is very wrong to load the stomach with food while the body is fatigued. Men will come from their shops and counters with their bodies or brains almost exhausted, sit down and hurriedly eat a hearty meal and then return to their labor. If any part or organ of the body becomes unduly fatigued, the whole system requires rest J so that the nervous influence and the circulation of the blood may become equalized before another demand is made upon the vital energies. ETIQUETTE ON STREET ,„ V of gentlemen towards ladies on street cars is just now attracting considerable attention and discussioD, Corry O, Lanus the quaiot humorist, in a discussion whether the ladies ought to have seats, says : "I believe they ought. I a' ways side with the ladies. When lamina crowded car, and a lady comes in, I think it is the duty of some other man to get up and give her his seat. I look around in the car to see if any man in the crowd looks like making a move in that direction, aud when I see them all keep their seats, I bury myself in my newspaper and blush for my sex. Some of your male correspondents think that the ladies ought to thank us for giving up our seats. Ladies, don,t you be impozed upon by any such idea. Get the gentlemen in the hsbit of being thanked, and they'll expect iL" ONE is not sure that he gazes on a picture of perfection when he sees a well gotten up woman. A fine form, a heavy suit of hair a transparent complexion — all are so com mon now-a-daya that they arc no longer appreciated with the same intense -enthusb astic emotions of admiration that they formerly excited. Not that they have ceased to be admired —O, no ! But simply because any woman may have them. W hat with enamels, eye liquid, false hair, corsets pulpitators, false calves, bustles, how can a man teil when to admire ? How can he distinguish between a skeleton and genuine natural beauty. Here is a great risk to run. It beats lotteries or faro. Sup pose a man wishes to marry — he finds a pretty girl, but can't go the chaDces. why There is no way in the world to find whether she is artificial or natural. ACORBESPOKDENT writing from Wiscon sin says ; At the junction, a clean, well dressed mtn attempted to enter the rear car of the train, but was stopped by the brakeman and told to go to the Dext car forward as the rear one wus reserved for ladies, and gentlmen ac companied by ladies. A merry twinkle was in the young man's eye as he stepped from the car to the platform. He walked straight to a robust and somewhat remark able female representative from the land of shamrock, and very corteously offered to assist her, in transporting her bundles, which were neither few nor slight, to the train. The words "may the Lord bless your honor," were the only ones which reached me ; bat it was evident that his kind offices were accepted. Then, after some conversation in an under tone, the pair who had so recently, and in plain view of Mr. Brakeman, become travelling com panions, approached tho forbidden car. When about to enter, the brakeman inter posed his person, and directed them to go to the next car. The man insisted that his lady and himself had under the rule laid down, a right to enter. The biakeman replied :' 4 It is not your lady." The trav eler, turning confidently to his new found appendage, asked, in the most whinning way, " Arn't you. my dear ?"[The woman had cheeks like a cheese-rind, and nose like a piece of decayed beefsteak ] Clear, and to the point came the answer, 44 Shure I am, dariifit." There was no resisting such proofs, and the pair marched in triumph to a seat, amidst roars of laughter from the passengers, who had been attentive spec tators of the scene, TERMS, $2.00 Per.

KISSING A YANKEE TAII.OR' Wire.—Wil liam the IV., Fate King of England, when Prince of Wales, and daring his service off the coait of Canada, made an excursion into Upper Canada, and crossed over to the State of Vermont, fie entered a Tailor shop, asd on seeing the tailor's wife, and exceedingly beautiful woman,he without eeremony ravish ed a kiss from the lady,, ami remarked : "There no, tell your country woman that the son of the King of England, has kissed a Yankee tailor's wife." Unbapily for him at that moment her has* band, the tailor,appeared from the back reom and being a stout fellow, gave the scioo of royalty a tremendous kick and exclaimed. "There go and tell your country women that a Yankee tailor has kicked the son of tbo King of England. 1 X SAW HER BUT A MOMENT. - She wore a handsome crinoline on the day when first we met: and she scudded like a schooner, with a cloud of canvass set.
