JOB 1V0KK ff all kinds done at An aperient and stomachic preparation IRON purified of Oxygen and Carbon by com bustion in Hydrogen. Sanctified by the highest Medical Authorities, both in Europe and the United States, and prescribed in their practice. Tlif experience of thousands daily proves tfiat iVpxeparat:on t f Iron can be compared with iW Impurities of the blood, depression of vital -energy, pale and otherwise sickly complexions in dicate its necessity in almost every conceivable cae. Innoxious in all malladies in which it has been tried, it has proved absolutely curative in each of the following complaints, viz: In Ddiility, Xercous Affections, Emaciation, Dyspepsia, Cun.sthxition, Dianhora, Dysentery, Incipient Consumption, Smfulous Tuberculosis, Salt Rheum, Mismenstruaiion, lYliites, Chlorosis, Liter Complaints, Chronic Headaches, Rheuma tism, Intermittent Fevers, Pimjies ou the Face, $-c. In cases of General Debility, whether the re sult of acute disease, or of the continued dimi nution of nervous and muscular energj' from Chronic complaints one trial of this restorative has proved successful to an extent which no description nor written attestation would render credible. Invalids so long bed-ridden as to have become forgotton in their own neighbor hoods, have suddenly re-appeared in the busy world as u just returned ironi a protractea travel in a distant land. Some very signal instances of this Kinu are aiiesieu cu iciu.ue ouutrers, cmaciaieu victims of apparent marasmus, sanguineous ex- j haustion, critical changes, and that complication of nervous ami dyspeptic aversion to air and exercise for which the physician has no name. In Nervous Affections of all kinds, and foH reasons familiar to Medical men, the operation of this preparation of Iron must necessarily be salutary, for, unlike the old oxides, it is vigor ously tonic, without being exciting and over heating, and gently, regularly aperient, even in the most obstinate cases of costivenesa without ever being a gastric purgative or inflicting a uis j agreeable sensation. 1 It is this latter property, among others which I makes it so remarkably effectual and permanent ! a remedy for i'iles, upon which it also appears : to exert a distinct and specific action, by dis l persing the bjcal tendency which forms them, j In Dyspepsia innumerable as are its causes, i a single box of these Chalybeate Pills has often sufficed for the mo?-t habitual cases, including ! the attendant ovsticentss. In unchecked Diarrhrea, even when advanced to Dysentary, confirmed emaciating and appa rently malignent, the effects have been equally deci.-ive and astonishing. In the local pnins, loss of liesh and strength. J debiliatihg cough, and remittent hectic, which generally indicates Incipient Consumption, this remedy has allayed the alarm of friends and physicians, in several very gratifying and in teresting instances. In Scrofulous Tuberculsis, this medicated iron has had far more than the good effect of the most cautiously balanced preparations of idione, without any of their well known liabilities. The attention of females cannot be too confi dently invited to this remedy and restorative, in the caces peculiarly affecting them. In Rheumatism, both Chronic and inflamatory in the latter, however, more decidedly it has been invariably well reported, both as alleviating pain and reducing the swellings and stifuess of the joints and muscles. In Intermittent fevers it must necefStiriiy be a great remedy and energetic restorative, and its progress in the new settlements of the West will probably be one of high renown 8nd use ulness. No remedy has ever leen discovered in the whole his tory of mediar.e, which exerts such prompt, happy and fully restorative effects. Good appetitee, complete digestion, rapid ac quisition of strength, with an tmusual disposi tion for active and cheerful exercise, imftiediate lyfollow its use.

Deacon Goolwiu was the very best man that ever lived. So at least said his friends and neighbors, who certainly ought to know, and for enemies, he had probably not one in the world. It is true, however, that the re mark above quoted, was generally made as a sort of apologetic preface to something like the following: "Hut then he bas such queer notions; be is so unlike anybody else, that we hardly know what to make of him " Perhaps these worthy people were oblivious of the fact that in order to be very good, it is often a painful necessity to be different from one's neighbors. . We cannot better illustrate Deacon Good win's peculiarities than by describing a little entertainment given by him at bis country scat not long ago. For the Deacon, with all his unworldly goodness, is a prosperous mer chant in New York, and the owner (by per fectly fair means) not only of a brown stone front in the city, but of a charming suburban residence. The Deacon's wife, though a very good woman in her way, was a far less pecu liar personage than her husband. She fell quite gracefully into an amiable conformity with the ways of the world, and is not to be distinguished from the thousands of good wo men of the wealthy class who throng our city churches. Their two daughters, Adelaid and Miss Ellen, had just left the restraints of their fashionable fcchoo!, and enjoyed the pros pect of "coming oat' another winter, as full fledged members of society. "Husband," said Mrs. Deacon die May moi Ling, soon after the family migration to the couutry, "Husband, you know we did not give that dinner that we were proposing last wider, what do you say to having it here in stead. We are so coavenient to the city that they can easily come in coaches." "You gave a large party, did you not, which included all that should have been your dinner guests." "Dear me, yes! but that wa3 quite a differ ent thing. Now at this little affair I am speaking. of, I should want only our most par ticular friends." - 3 "Oh! if that is the plan, I like it well," re joined tba warm hearted Deacon. '13ut why not ask them to pass a week with us?" "Ask whom?" Well, your brother John's family first, the children would enjoy it and then " Oh! you dou't undetstand me at all! I mean only a few of the best families, whose acquaintance it is most desirable to cultivate.' 'Really, wife, it does not seem quite hon orable to invite guests for our own selfish pur poses. I can sell hardware with a clear con science, but the hospitalities of my house" "Who wants to sell the hospitalities of your house. No, no, my dear; that is one of your odd notions. Everybody in society does just as I am proposing. And after all, this invi ting is only doing as we would be done by." "True, true," said the Deacon, with a mer ry laugh, "but why not do this favor to some one who will value it; to whom it will be a real kindness? There are hundreds, now. whom I could name, to whom a day spent among these green trees, in the fresh, sweet air of the country, would ba an event to re member for a year." ' Oh. if you mean a charitable visit, that is very good in its place, but very different from the matter I have in hand. For our child ren's sake, my dear, it really is a duty to hold our place in good eociety." The Deacon was always accessible to con sideration of duty. Die merely said: "Well, name your day, and give me the list. I will have the invitations sent from my office." "A capital thought; your accountant there is such a splendid pecsman; and as to the cmes, you know the families to whom we are under (he greatest obligations. I would have the company as select as possible, and I will try to make the whole affair pass off finely," said the worthy lady, beaming already with amiable complacency upou her prospective guests. The expected day arrived Mrs. Goodwin and daughters, their elegant toilets at last perfected, were seated in the drawing room, whose long windows looked across a cool ve randah, and commanded the way of approach from the city. Though the fingers wery oc cupied with light fancy work, expectant eyes were glancing cont nually down the road to meet the first arrival. No one will come for an hour yet. you may beture," said Mrs. G. "Your father has such a horror of late hours, that he wan ted us to be dressed and waiting by 4 o'clock." "I never saw an omnibus on this road be fore," said Miss Ellen as one of those plebe ian vehicles made its appearance over the brow of the hill. "Chartered for some special purpose," said her mother absently, as 6he mused upon the dinner. "There is another," said Adelaide. And another," added Ellen. "There is quite a procession of them," said the mother. "And the first one is stopping at our gate," exclaimed Ellen. "What in the world can all these forlorn looking creatures want here?" cried Adelaide in consternation. "Do go and send them away before our company comes," said Miss Goodwin. "I have seen some of them at the Indus trial School," said Ellen with a sudden gleam of merriment; "can this be one of father's cu rious tricks?" "It certainly is," replied Adelaide, 'for there he comes himself out of tho last omni bus." And in fact the good Deaeon was now seen making bis way through the crowd of poor people, who stood humbly waiting near tho gate, and offering his arm to a withered old lady, in rusty bombazine, who had boon auioDg the first arrivals. He presented her and the foremost of the guests to his lady, who stood all in a rustle of astonishment and stiff brocade on the verandah stens. and to his elegant daughters; who were half way be- tween laughing and crying at the novelty of the scene before them. Mrs. Goodwin fortu- nately had the good sense cf philosophy to perccire iuai a staic oi iQings wtuca was manifestly not to be cured, had better be en dured with the best grace possible; and her innocent guests, tho' somewhat awe-struck at such undreamed of magnificence of apparel, were all uncousciou3 of the struggle and tri umph, too of grace that was going on be neath the studied hospitality with which she received them. There was the old lady in black, who pro ved to bo a widow, .and utterly alone in the world; about the supply of" whese wants the Deacon knew more than any other man living And there was an old mac with one wooden leg; and a blind man, who was strongly sus- pected to have been seen at the way-siie beg- . ging, until some benevolent individual name . unknown had supplied him wuh a basket of saleable articles, by means of which he was j now able to support himself and family, i There were women, too, with wan faces, who j seemed to have never enjoyed the freedom of God's blessed air, and puny children in the arms, whose heavy eyes brightened at the j sigat oi green grass ana waving trees. itie older persons were soon seated in the house, or on the piazzas, while the children, under convoy of Miss Ellen, who entered heartily into the spirit of the occasion, scattered about j in merry games on the green lawn. Never j was such a play before; and to El!cn herself j it seemed tuat tne little birds never sung so sweetly, nor the fresh summer air breathed so so lily v- and never was it so delightful to have a home in the country as on this very day. The company once disposed of. a sober se cond thought occurred to the lady hostess, more distressing doubtless than the first. An appealing look brought her husband to the corner. "What in the world am I to do," she said. "I have not half provision enough for them to eat." "That is all right," replied the Deacon, pointing to a market wagon which was just unloading at the kitchen gate. "There is abundaucc for them all, and I have given di rections to the cook." Anxiety was needless; every arrangement had been completely made; and the entertain ers devoted themselves again to their guests. Happily passed the hours of the golden after noon. The ladies of the family recovered speedily from the shock of disappointment, and coul4 not help admitting that thy had never so thoroughly' enjoyed a company be fore. It was only because the real delight cf social life, that of conferring happiness on others, had never been sa fully within their reach. It was a lesson worth the learning. At six the company were assembled around ths long tables, which by the Deacon's direc tions, had been spread upou the shady lawn; and never, probably, did guests more heartily unite in thanksgiving for the bounties of Prov idence. Defore they rose from the banquet, there was a gorgeous sunset, and all in full view, to be enjoyed by many who, within their narrow walls, were almost as effectually excluded from God's free picture gallery in the heavens, as from man's aristocratic ones on earth. At the same time, the full moon was rising ia the east, and then there was a delightful eveniog, with the glancing fire flies among the grass, and the cool breezes that never dreamed of brick wall and heated pave ment and by nine o'clock the whole party departed in their train of conveyauces for home. The lady hostess was too tired, too thought less to demand explanation now. When the children and servants had silently assembled iu the sitting-room at the hour of pi aver, the worthy fathy of the family read from the great Bible the story of a feast given of old at the house of a chief Pharisee; and his voice lingered with special emphasis on the follow- mg words: " W hen thou rnakest a dinner or supper, call not thy friends nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen nor thy rich neighbors; least they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. But when thou taakest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, and thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot re compensed at the resurrection of the just." L,avv fort lie Ladies. The fact that the ladies of Turkey have of late iudulged in wearing very thin veils and dresses, which their persons to be seen too much, has elated an imperial edict, of which the following are the essential features: "Henceforth all women, whoever they may be, on leaving their houses, must wear thick veils, which completely cover tbeir features, fc be clad in dresses of cloth or other suitable material, without embroidery, trimings or ex ternal ornaments of any kind. Tbey must not show themselves out of doors simply in stockings and slippers, but must wear half boot in yellow morocco leather, or some oth er suitable and decent covering for the feet. When they go out to make purchases they are strictly forbidden from entering shops, but must stop on the outside to be served, and must not wait longer than is absolutely necessary. When they are on tha public promenades, they must confine themselves to the part reserved for females. Any woman wh shall bo guilty of acts against the law will be severely punished. No family shall keep equipage beyond tbeir means, and the drivers must be most carefully selected. JTSTTo b6 hated by her friends is the lot of every good looking girl; but to be secretly cursed by the whole neighborhood, is a joy reserved for the traoscendently beautiful only. Without even seeing a young woman, you can tell her appearance by just carefully ana lyzing the seandal in circulation against her. Chinese Salutations. The salutation betweeu two Chinamen when thev meet consists n each t-lasrinir and ha- i king his own hands, in?teal of each others, j and bowing profoundly, almost to the ground .' several time. A ouestion more common t than "how do vou do:" is "have you eaten ?' This Wing the great article of food rice iquette req versatioc ach should complement the other and everything belonging to bim, in the most laudatory style; and depricato himself with all pertaining to him, to the lowest possible point. The following is no exageration, though not the precise words: ' ""What in your honorable name? 'My significant appellation is Wrong " "Where is your magniScent palace?' "My contemptible hut is at Suchao." "How many are your illustriou? children?" -'My vile, worthless brats are five." "'How is the health of your distinguished spouse?" "My mean, good for nothing oil woman is well." Such is 31an. Who is rich? He who is contented with his lot. Who is happy? He who love? everybody. Who is honored? He who pursues" the eveu tenor of bis way. Who is good? He who has the fear of God before him. How easy then to be rich, happy, honored and good. Uut yet multitudes, iu striving for these blessings, take the very steps that are sure to defeat their objects. In getting rich, they find no end to their desires. In striving for happiness, they bate everybody who docs not follow in tho steps they have chosen. In gaining honors, they push them selves forward, crowding aside the most wor thy, until they have outstripped themselves and sink. In their desires for goodness, they forsake the source of all good, and hug the most evil passions to their bosoms. Thus is poor feeble man. He labors for what he can never obtain, and at last dies with vanity all is vanity upon his lips. The simple path is the true path. The humble walk is where Heaven's blessings are showered. They who are meek and humble live nearest the truth, and receive the richest blessings. .A-l Yankee paper says: A Mr. .Mewings' was courting a young lady ofsjme attractions and something of a fortune into the bargain. After a liberal arrangement had been made for the young lady by Ler father, Mr. Mow ings demanded a little brown mare, to which he had takes a particular fancy, aai this be ing positively refused, the match was broken off. After a couple of years the parties ac- j cilentally met at a country ball; Mr. Mcw I ings was quite willing to renew the engage ment; the lady sppoarei not to have the slgbt est recollection of him. "Surely you have not forgotten me?" said he. "What nam?, sir':" she inquired "Mcwings," he replied; "1 had the honor of paying my address to you about two years ago." "I remember a person of that name," she rejoined, "who paid his addresses to my father's brown marc." The Drouth or the South. A correspondent of the New Orleans Ihlla gives the following dark picture of the crops in a portion of the South: "I have just returned from a trip through many parts of the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, and, as I am iut-rested in the planting business, I ob served closely the crops in the several locali ties through which I passed. "Never in my life have I witnessed such injury to the growing crops, by drought, as I have in the above States in the last three weeks. I also met with intelligent planters at all points, who were journeyingJ"rom home on business or for amusement, and thev unan j io testified, though reluctantly, to the , wjde-tpread destruction of corn and cotton, vegetables and fruits, not only at their own homes, but in various sections they bad seen away. "The corn in places is entirely destroyed, even unfit for fodder. Planters waited, ho ping for rain; and so the blades and stalks have dried from root to tassel, having not even a shoot upon them. "Cotton is welting shedding leaves, forms blooms and bools. Even copious and contin uous showers henceforth will not only fail to arrest this destruction, but aggravate it, by causing more sheding and a second growth, will be too late for maturity in the fall, be it ever so late. A Hurricane. A very destructive hurricane almost amoun ting to a tornado, passed over a belt of the country about thirty-fire miles South-Wtst of Chicago on Friday night last. It is repre sented as the most terrible and destructive storm that ever occurred in that section. It came up from the West, about 9 o'clock and for a time the roar of the wind and thun der and the constant glare of lightning were appalling. In the vicinity of Joliet, numer ous chimneys and fences were blown down The dwelling of Mr. A. C. Dewey, cue mile South of the city, was completely raised from its foundation, and Mr. Dewey and his wife were compelled to find shelter in the bouse of a neighbor. After crossing the river, the tornado seem ed to gather greater force Forests were prostrated, and orchards and grains of all kinds were greatly damaged. The unhar vested oats and wheat were laid almost level with the ground. Barns were unroofed, and in many cases blown down. ' The path of the hurricane was about four miles in width, embracing one of the richcji farming districts in the country. throughout the empire, and farming the chief j pt cully as its drainage i sail to be very fcaj. and indispensible part of every meal it h ta- j As " average. 2l bouses m Philadelphia ken for granted that if you have eaten rice w'l contain more than 2'J fimi.ies.

The fuiiowmg account of the ravages of the drouth are indeed cf a shocking character: Mr. D. N. Siuith, of Chariton, was in our office yesterday, and informed us that the drouth still continued in Northwestern Mis souri and Kansas that fce had just been through several counties ic that pars of Mis souri, ana found wheat, corn, oat, hay and all ether crops totally destrcijed. Farmers were selling off thtir totk, and many cf them moving out. He purchased COO hogs, and bas promised to return and buy 900 ajore.

Within the past three weeks, there Lave been half a dozen tornadoes, in different sec tions of the country One of the most des tructive was on the ISth, in Wayne county. Michigan. Its course was from S. W to N. E., and extended some three miles in IcDcth by twenty-five to fifty rods in wedth. A hot suffocatiug vapor accompanied the storm, which, in many instances, withered the ildi agc. on the trees. No lives were lost. Another was in Will county. Illinois, on the l!0th. By this forests were prostrated and orchards and grains of ail kinds greatlv damage 1. The nnharveste-d oats and whea't weare laid almost level with the ground. Barns were unroofed and in many cases blown down. The amount of damage done must be immense, for the storm was about four miles in width, and swept over the richest farming district in the country. Acruital of Judge Terry. Judge Terry has been acquited of the of fence of killing Senator Broderick in a duel by a jury in Marion county, California, uo der such circumstances as leave no doubt of a collusion between the prosecution aud the defence to pioduce such a result. The wit nesses establishing the guilt of Terry were all on their way from San Francisco to Marion in a small boat. They were delayed so that they did not reach the court bouse until 12 o'clock. J udge Hardy opened the court at 9. a.m. The District Attorney announced that his witnesses had not made their appear ance. The case went to the Jury without a word of testimony, and under the charge of Judge Hardy, a verdict of acquital was ren dered before 10 o'clock. 5T It is announced that the Constitution.
