Scrofula, or King's Evil,
is a constitutional disease, a corruption of th
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 fre
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous .Jaint 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 he its origin, it is hereditary in the con
stitu jon, descending from parents to children
unt ,the third and fourth generation indeed,
it r cms 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 by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in 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,
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
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Ilence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec
tions which arise from it, such as Eacrnv
and Sxix Diseases, St. Akthoxv's Pike,
Rose, or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules,
Blotches, Blains and Boils, Tumors, TErrxm
and Sa.lt Rhecm, Scald Head, Ringworm,
Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mercurial Dis
eases, Dropst, Dyspepsia, Debilitt, and,
indeed, all Complaints abisikq trox Vitia
ted or Impcbb Blood. The popular belief
in " impurity of the blood " is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration 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
contaminated constitutions.
Ayer's Cathartic Pills,
F03 ALL THE FURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC,
are so composed that disease within the range of
their action caa rarely withstand or evade them
Their penetrating properties search, and cleans,
and invigorate every portion of the .human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to find his
health or energy restored by a remedy at once so
impiknd inviting.
Not only do they cure the every-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and
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-i Costive
nest, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered
Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid
Inaction of the Botcels, Flatulency, Loss of Appe
tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints,
arising from a low state of the body or obstruction
of its functions.
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
. rOH THE RAPID CURB OP
Coughs, Colds, 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.
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
be forgotten.

A DILL IX A HALLOOST.
An affair of this nature took place on the
occasion of the last ascent but one of the cel
ebrated and lucky aeronaut, Mons. Godard.
Mr. Godard took with him that day as his
compagnon du voyage, a wealthy private gen
tleman, who had paid 1000 francs for the 1
privilege of sharing in the perils of his expe
dition. The weather could not have been
more propitious, and the balloon shot up
rapidly to a considerable altitude.
What effect does that produce on you?'
asked Mr Godard of his companion.
Nothing 6aid the latter laconically.
My compliments to you,' sid Mr. God
ard. 'You are the first whom I have ever
seen arrive at such an altitude without be
traying some emotion.'
'Keep on mounting, said the traveler, with
gravity supreme.
Mr. Godard threw out some ballast, and
the balloon ascended some 500 feet higher.
And now !' added Mr. Godard, 'does your
heart beat V
Nothing yet,' replied his companion, with
an air whieh approached closely to impa
tience, 'The deuce !' exclaimed Mr. Godard ; 'you
have really, my dear sir, the most perfect
qualifications to be an aeronaut.'
The balloon 6till ascended ; when 1000 feet
higher, Mr. Godard interrogated his com
panion 'And now?' 'Nothing, nothing, not
the 6badow ef fear whatever !' answered the
traveler discontented, and like a man who
had experienced a profound deception.
'Goodness mel so much the worse then,'
said the aeronaut, smiling ; 'I must renounce
all hopes of making you afraid. The balloon
is high enough ; we are going to descend.'
To descend !'
'Certainly ; there would be danger in
mounting
higher !'
That don't make the slightest difference
to me, I do not choose to descend.'
'You! what?' asked Mr. Godard.
I say that I wish to ascend higher ; keep
on mounting. I have given you 1000 francs
in order to experience some emotion ; I must
do so, and will not descend before I have felt
some emotion !'
Mr. Godard commenced to lauh : he be
lieved at once that it was all a joke.
Will yon ascend t once more demanded
the traveler, seizing him by the throat and
shaking him with violence' 'when shall I feel
some emotion V
iUr. Oociard relates that at this moment
he felt himself lost. A sudden and dreadful
revelation broke upon him in recardinz the
strangely dilated eyes of the compagnon du
voyage ; he had to deal with a madman ;
To try to make a maniac listen to reason !
To ask for help amidst the clouds !
If even the unfortunate aeronaut had had
any detensive weapon, he would have been
incapable of defending himself; but it is not
usual for people to furnish themselves with
pLstols for a voyage in a balloon, and certain
ly one would not dream of meeting with a
warlike encounter in the stars. The earth
was 5000 feet beneath most horrible depth.
and the least movement of the now furious
madman might cause the car to capsize. Mr.
Godard, with the presence of mind acquired
by him in so many of his daring aerial expe
ditions, had all these reflections, in the short
space of a second.
Ah ! ah ! you are mocking me, my fine
fellow,' continued the madman, without loos
ening the grip. Ah ! you think to rob mo
of my 1,000 francs as well as my emotion.
Very well, be quiet. It's my turn to laugh.
It's you now who is goiDg to cut a caper.'
The madman was possessed of prodigious
muscular force. Mr Godard did not even
attempt to defend himself. 'What do you
wish from me ?' asked he, with a calm tone
and submissive air.
'Simply to amuse myself in seeing you turn
a summersault,' answered the man, with a
ferocious smile. But first,' (the madman
apppeared to bethink himself.) I have my
ideas. I wish to see if I cannot find tome
emotion up there. I must put myself astride
on the semi-circle.'
The madman indicated with his finger the
upper part of the balloon. Juetin speaking,
he commenced to climb along the cords which
held the car attached to the ballon. Mr.
Godard, who had not before trembled for
himself, was forced to do so now for the mad
man.
'But miserable man, you are going to kill
yourself ; you will be piezed with vertigo.'
No remarks.' hissed the madman, seizing
him again by the collar, 'or I will at once
pitch ycu into the abyss.'
At least, observed Mr. Uodard, 'allow me
to put this cord around your body, so that
you may remaiQ attached to the baloon.'
'Be it so.' said the madman, who seemed
to comprehend the utility of the precaution.
This done, furnished with his cord of safe
ty, the madman commenced to climb the rope
with the agility of a squirrel. He reached
the baloon and placed himself astride the
semicircle, as he said. Once there, he rent
the air with a shout of triumph, and drew
his knife from his pocket.
'What are you going to do?' asked Mr.
Godard, who feared that he might have the
idea of ripping the balloon. 'To make myself
comfortable forthwith.' Uttering these words
the madman cut slowly the cord of safety
which Mr. Godard had attached to his body,
With a single puff of wind to shake the bal
loon the miserable creature must roll over the
abyss. Mr. Godard shut bis eyes in order
not to see him. The madman clasps his
hands; he cannot contain himself with delight,
lie spurs the balloon with his heel, as if on
horseback, to guide its flight.
'And now, yelled forth the madman bran
dishing his knife, we are going to laugh''
Ab, robber, you thought to make tne descend
Very well It is you who are going to tum
ble down in a moment, and quicker than
that.' Mr Godard had no time to make a
movement or put in a single word, Before
be was able to devine the infernal intention
of the madman, the latter, still astride the
semi-circle, had cut oh I horror! four of
the cordages which suspended the car to the
baboon. The car inclines horribly ! it only
holds by two it was by one cord, so slight
do they appear I It would have been all
over witn Dir. Vjroaard if he had not grasped
desperately at the two remaining. The knife
of the madman approaches the last cord yet
a moment and all will be over.
I do not ask for pardon : on the contrary.'
'What is it you wish then ?' said the madman
astonished.
At this moment, now,' continued the ccro-
naut hurriedly, -we are at a height of 5000
feet.'
'Stop,' aid the madman, 'that will be
charming to tumble down such a height.'
'xes. said Mr. Godard, 'my experience as
arseroaut has taught me that death is not
certain to ensue from a fall from that eleva
tion. Tumble for tumble, I much prefer to
fall from such a height and be killed out
right, ralher than risk being only lamed ;
have the charity to precipitate me from a
height of 9000 only.'
'Ah, that will do,' said the madmau, which
the mention of a more dreadful fall charmed
amazingly.
Mons Godard follows heroically his pur
pose, and throws over ao enormous quantity
of ballast. The balloon made a powerful
bound, and mounts five hundred feet in a
few seconds. Only, and while the madman
surveys this operation with a menancing air
the aeronaut thinks to accomplish another
quite contrary. The quick eye of Mr Godard
bad remarked that among the cords spared
by the madman, figures the one leading to
the valve. His plan is taken He draws
the cord, it opens the valve placed in the
upper part of the balloon for the purpose of
allowing any excess for the hydrogen gas to
escape, and the result which he hoped for,
was not long in making itself apparent.
Little by little the madman became drowsey,
asphyxiated and insensible by the vapors of
the gas which sourrounded him.
The madmau being sufficiently asphyxiated
for his purpose, Mr. Godard allowed the bal
loon to decend slowly to the earth The
drama is finished !
Arrived oxi-terra firma, Mr. Godard. Dot
bearing any hatred to the author of his peril
ous voyage, hastened to restore him to ani-
mation, and had him conveyed, hands and
feet bound, to be neighboring station.
A C'ood story.
A capital story is told of Judge Tappan, a
Senator in Congress, who is unfortunately
cross-eycu A number of years ago he was
Judge of a newly organized County Court,
in the eastern part of Ohio.
In those days or pnmative simplicity, or
perhaps poverty, the bar-room of a tavern
was used as a court-room, and the stable as a
jail. One day during the session of the court
the Judge had occasion to severely repri
mand two lawyers who were wrangling. An
odd looking customer who sat in one corner,
listening apparently with great satisfaction to
the reproof, and presuming on old acquain
tance, and the Judge's well-known good hu
mor, sang out:
Give it to them, old gimblet eyes!
Who was that?' inquired the Judge.
It was this ere old hoss,' answered the
chap, raising himself up.
Sheriff, observed the Judge with great
gravity, 'take that old boss and put him in
the stable.
Rather Touglir
The following story said to be true, but it
is rather tough to be swallowed in one mouth
ful:
A farmer living on the line of the Lebanon
Valley railroad, not long since concluded he
would send a lot of beans to Ilarrisburg, for
sale. Not being acquainted with the modus
operandi of shipping goods for market by the
cars he stationed himself by the side of the

Tiie Lancaster (Pa.) Express says that
Mr. Wise has made arrangements with re
SDonsible parties in New YorK for some ex
tensive and important aeronautic experiments
this Summer. He will soon leave for that
city, to make the necessary arrangements.
One of these experiments is to be demonstra
tive of the practicabilily of crossing the At
lantic with precision, within a due cource
from West to East, and within the paralell of
two degrees, and will consist in sailing from
St. Louis to the Atlantic ecaboard, at a point
between Baltimore and the city of New lork

Another is the propelling and guiding of 'the

also to test Mr. Page's plan of directing the
baloon, which was patented some weeks ago,
Tndenendent Order of Odd FelloiCS
was first established in the city of Baltimore,
on the 20th of April, 1819. So rapid has
been the increase of the Order that there are
now 39 Grand Lodges under the jurisdiction
of the Grand Lodge of the United States.
These are scattered through the States and
territories of the Union and through Canada
There are 3,390 subordinate lodges, having
179,000 members.1 During the past year
$507,000 were expended in carrying out the
benevolent work of the Order, to wit : Re
lieving the distressed, burying the dead, and

IIoto mike Fagran Doctored Ills Pig-.
Mr. Michael Fagan is a very worthy rep
resentative from "Green Erin," residing in a
small dwelling in a small village near Boston.
Michael is industrious and strives hard to turn
an honest penny to account, whenever, and
however, there may be the slightest prospect
of profit. Michael has a little patch f ground
behind his house, where he supports a few
aucss ana cmccens; ana toe iresnest eggs in j
the neighborhood can always be found on his
premesis, for he never allows himself to be
possessed of more than a single dozen at any
time befors disposing of them. In addition
to his stock of poultry, Michael purchased a
young pig, which after four months petting
and nursing, he prided himself upon exhibit
ing to his friends and acquaintances, as one
of the "swatest and kindest craythers in the
world."
But Michael's pig took sick, and from his
coughing and sneezing symptoms, it was cer
tainly evident that he had contracted a very
bad cold.
Close by the residence of this honest ITi
bernian, there dwells the village physician, a
kind hearted man, and very skillful, whose
practice is none of the largest. As he came
from his house, a short time since, Michael
stood at his gate, ruminating upon the chan
ces in favor of his favorite porker, and obser
ving the doctor, he hailed him with: The
top uv the morning' to yc docthur?"
"Ah. Michael, how are you?"
"It's very wall I am meself docthur but
perhaps ye'll be tellin' a poor man what he'd
be afther doin, for his pig; ahone! ah one! he's
very sick, docthur.
"Pig, exclaimed the doctor with a smile,
'what piff, Michael, and what's the matter
with him?"
"Shure he's very bad indade, so he is, A
cowld, docthur, shneezen and batkm the
head off him and divil blasht the thmg I can
do wid him."
"Well, really, Michael, I can't say, I'm
not a pig doctor!"
"Shure it's meself that knows that. But
if it was a gossan instead uv the darlm cray
ther what would I be afther doing wid him
for the cowld he has?"
"Well," continued the doctor, considerate
ly, "were it a child, Michael, perhaps I
should recommend a mustard poultice to his
back, and his feet put in hot water."
"It's meself that's obliged to ye docthur,
be dad I am," responded Mike, as the phy
sician passed along, and he entered his house.
"Biddy!" he added, addressing his wife,
"we'll cure the Di2. so we will." In a short
time the poker was invested in a strong mus
tard plaster from his tail to his ears. Not-
withstanding his struggles, and his wheezings
and torture irom uis action ci iuo uuyiuiuiug
.. - . r -1 1 1: I
plaster, a tub of almost
boiling water was
prepared, and into it poor piggy
. .. i mi - l.
was soused
above his knees. The result may be easily
conceived.
Next morning, bright and early, Michael

Poor Mike spoke truly. Through his ig

A Flsli Story.
Old Joe Phillips was an awful story teller!
When a stranger came to his tavern, if he
appeared at all credtilous. old Joe would tell
a loLg yarn. to his village acquaintences, bnt
talk at the stranger.
A 6hort time since a stranger came into his
bar-room, with a rod, line, and other fishing
paraphernalia, when Joe seized a friend and
startled him by the grand question :
Did you hear apout that big sb Col. Pot
ter caught to-day in the river ?'
The stranger pricked up bis ears, and Joo
and his friend talked on after the following
style :
'iNo, said the friend, in answer to Joe's
question.
'Biggest sturgeon ever caught in any riv
er.'
You don't say !'
Yes when'I came away, he hadn't caught
all of him, though he had about six feet of
him ashore.'
Now do tell ! how much did the mon
ster weigh ?'
'Three hundred pounds, and he made nina
barrels of oil !'
Nine barrels of oil ?' inquired the stranger.
advancing ; 'did you say nine barrels ?'
'Yes, said Joe, nercelv, I said nine bar
rels : is that anything very strange, sir ?
Oh no, beg pardon,' sid the stranger mu
singly ; 'only I was thinking it a little singu
lar that any man could extract twenty-seven
hundred pounds of oil from three hundred
pounds of fish !" and gathering up his fishing
tackle, he left.

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times writes: Capt Jerome Bcnaparte,
who lately returned to France, from a visit
to his parents at Baltimore has been placed
in the most dangerous service in the army,
lie will command in the Chasseurs D' Afii
que, a body of light cavalry, every man of
which is mounted on an Arab stalion of great
speed and endurance. This body is divided
up and terown forward in advance of the ar

all dangerous and rapid reconnoisances. The
captain, on arriving at Paris, ten days ago
left immediately for Algiers, to join his com-,
pany, from whence he will most probably
land at Genoa, on Sardinian territory, which
is to be on account of its proximity to Toulon
and Marseilles, the future base of operations
of the French Army.

The first locomotive that Sat ever eaw was
standing with steam up, and nearly ready to
go, making no noise save a suppressed hum
ming from the safety valve. Sut had, ia his
skeery, cautious way, clambered to the top of
the tender to find out 'what sort of a beastes'
it was, when the engineer slyly gave the
whistle lever a long pull shay-y-y ! Sut lay
twenty feet distant on a pile of cord-wood,
and after running until he got straightened
up, he turned round all eyes and said .
"What in the ducc did you do to it, mis
ter?" At this moment a negro came along trun
dling a truck, with a cooking stove, a joint
of pipe on the flue hole, and pots and pans
hanging all around' Sut took a look first aft
the stove and then at the locomotive ; a light
broke out over his perplexity, and he shouted
to the engineer :
"Oh, yes, I understand it all now ; th

Fidelity. Never forsake a friend. When
enemies gather around when sickness falls
on the heart when the world is dark and
cheerless then is the time to try true friend
ship. They who turn from the scene of dis
tress, betray their hypocrisy, and prove that
interest only mores them. If yoa have

adversity. Let him feel that his former kind
ness is appreciated, and that his love was not
thrown away. Beal fidelity may be rare, but
it exists in the heart. Who has not seen
and felt its power ? They only deny its
worth and power, who never have loved a
friend, or labored to mako a friend happy.
