Scrofula, or King's Evil,
in a constitutional diving, 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 fete
front its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercuriel disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure tic, filth
and filthy habits, the deprwring vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever ha its origin, it is hereditary - in she con
rtitution,deseending from parents to children
unto the third ;and fourth generation ;" indeed,
it comae to• be the rod of Slim who says, "1
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
tubercle.; in the glands, swellinga ; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This fool cor
ruption, which genders in tho blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu

aro still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consinnption which de

in this scrofulous contamination ; mad many
destructive discus, of liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the urger;, arise from or
are aggravated by the some cause.
One quarter of all our people ere scrofulous;
their persons lire invaded by this lurking in

A Word to Apprentices.
JanLThoUlty
A married court. ivsicling on Friend
street, near the canal, found that, after a
• • few years of connubial felicity, they were
I the most miserable mortals alive, be'ngllll
- to agree upon any point of domestic
economy and dipleinucy. Their daily cares
• Were sure• ►u culminate in au evening quer

other with blue s,. accompanied by the use
al marks of their respectiv., considerations.
Finding life disegieetthlc and being able
to agree upon no other point, they filially
; concluded to try the last experiment toge
ther by jumping into the. Scioto. Night
before last was the time set fur the attempt.
A now and biting air prevailed, but their
I resolution was flied, and they descended
thu bank together, each trying to nerve the
other by depreciating his and her cottrag' ,
with bitter words. They reached the bunk
of the Scluto—hand in hand they stood up •
on the bank of that abyss witch mortality
is wont to regard with horror. The air
was cold, end so was the water—neither
congenial, neillteT was the existence they
were about to leave. This thought was
decisive, and they plunged int, the water,
which touts nut deep, but wary cold. The
man could swim, and his first impulse on
rising to the surface was to strike out for
the shore, but he wanted to see what his
wife would do. Shy came sputtering and
blowing to the surface, supposing in the
darkness that her lord was at the bottom,
called loudly for help, and sank nem,—
When she next appeared the husband caugt
her, and they both reached thy shore in
