Scrofula, or King's Evil,
a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Doing in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
Atom its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
eausod by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
'bore all, by . the venereal infection. What
ever be its ongin, it is hereditary in the con
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation ;" indeed,
h seems to be the rod of Him who says, "1
sill 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 lunge liver, and internal organs, is termed
tuberclee ; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depressor
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
svhieb, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de
cunstcs the human family has ite•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.
*Odom and their health is undermined byit.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alterative medicine, and in.
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
inset 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 cora.
blued from the most active remedials that have
teen discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the reecue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Bence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other aft.,

OVER THE RIVER
Over the river they beckon to me,
Loved ones who've crossed to the farther side;
The gleam of their snowy robes I see,
But their voices are lost in the dashing tide.
There's one with ringlets of sanity gold,
And eyes the reflection of heaven's swn blue;
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him front mortal view.
We saw not the angels tuba met hint there—
The gates of the city we could not see ;
Over the river, over the river,
My- brother stands waiting to welcome me.
Over the ricer, the boatman pale,
Carried another, the household ; .
Her brown curls moved in the gentle gale—
Darling Minnie 1 I see her yet.
• She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark ;
We felt it glide front the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know cbs is safe on the further side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be;
Over the ricer, the mystic river,
My childhood's idol is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores,
cross with the bt atman cold and pale;
We fi n , t!!e dip of the golden oars,
And eaten g 'leatn of the snowy sail ;
And lo! they have p:m74 from yearning hearts,
They cross the stress, r:2ic Are Pee for ace;
We may not sunder the veil api,:r
That hides from our vision the gateiir
We only know that their barks uo more
May sail with us o'er life's stormy sea ;
Yet somewhere, I know, on the unseen shore,
They watch, and beckon and wait for me.
And I sit and think when the sunset's gold
I's flushing river and hill, and shore,
I shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list for the sound of the boatman's our;
I shall watch for a gleam of the flapping soil,
I shall hear the boat as it gains the stiwtal,
I shall pass from sight with the boatman pale,
To the better shore of the spirit-land.
I shall know the loved who 110S0 gone before,
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be,
Wino, over the river, the peaceful rivet,
The Angel of Death shall carry.me.
STZLE-ST
A STRANGE RETRIBUTION
Henri Du Barre, a young French rir
t,t, became enamored of the only &nigh.
ter of a well to do autiergiste in the town
of eircossono, in the South of France.—
Lucille Montaigne hod beauty and money.
and Henri Du Barre, had wit and talent ;
but these latter were nu fair equivalent
for the former in the eyes of the purse
proud father, who declared that no dough
ter of his should merry a poor earth, though
he were blessed with the wisdom of Solo
mon.
Now Lucille loved Henri—at leant elm
told him so—but she was too prudent to
elope with him and rink disinheritance; for,
after all, what was love without money?—
poverty, coating in at the door would send
it (bin through tho window.
Poor Heart was in despair. He really
did love Lucille, whether she did hint or
not—loved her madly; and his was one of
those dark. fiery natures which makes love
a wild terrible passion.
How much money was necessary to
make hint her•equal in the eyes of her
worldly father? The aubergiste named
the sum. It was large and Henri sighed,
and felt more despair at his heart than ev
er. Suddenly he brightened up with the
tecollection that he had youth and genius
and that in some Irrge city, Paris, per
haps, where the latter would be apprecia•
ted, he might acquire both fortune and
fame
But would Lucille wait?—well, Lucille
was willing to vruit awhile—for just them
as she admitted to herself, she could thick
duo one she liked better than the poor
artiste; but everything earthly must have
a limit, and the fair coquette thought her
patience ought not to extend beyond a
year. . _
.1 year is a very short limo (or a man
to acquire fame and fortune, with the lat
ter depending on the former; but Henri
was young, and youth is sanguine, and al
all events he would make n trial , hoping
great things, and knowing that he could
do no worse than fail.
So he finished his engagements hur
riedly, declined any new ones, sold a few
pictures on hand, for a moderate aunt,
gathered together his scanty effects, bode
his friends end Lucille adieu, with a hope
ful but heavy heart, set off for the great
metropolis of France.
It was a long, long journey from eir•
cassette to Paris in the slow cenveyances
of the period when Henri Du Bar., 'wide
it; and it nes nearly two weeks before he
reached the gay capital. And then began
his struggles with poverty, which clung to
him in spite of his hopes, his exertions and
his prayers, for six weary months; when
he gave up in despair, and secretly left
the city, to beg his way back to Circassone
see his Lucille once more, bid her an eter
nal adieu, and end a life no longer of any
value to its possessor. . _
Henri IA Barre set out from Paris afoot
and alone, depending solely upon char'ty
of French peasants fot food and lodging
Ile had six sous in his pocket when he
started, and these he invested in a deadly
poison. which he carried no a dernier re
port, determined not to suffer beyond what
nature might reasonablv bear, but which
it was Ids hope to retain till Ito had again
seen Lucille.
In this manner he reached and passed
through Lyons, foot sore, ragged and die
heartened—an object indeed Mr commiser
ation. Twenty leagues beyond Lyons, its
passing t h rough a long, dark, lonely wood,
he met a Jew, carrying a heavy pack on
his luck. The poor artist asked the Isra
elite for charity, his appeal was answered
by a few coins, for which he thanked the
giver and then offered to carry hie pack.

FINE FUR UNLAWFUL CUMMUNICATION FITE!

dollars fur conversing with a jurcr in regard to
a capitol case he was sitting on, and Chat les B.
Kanapaux, Deputy Sheriff, tato called the ju

a rule for contempt of Coutt. flume stated to
Kanupaux that he wanted to see the juror, Ad

for the information of his wife, whether he
would be kept out all night.—Kanapaux there.
upon ordered the juror to be called out, and
lime after speaking to Gibson about family
affitirs began to talk about the ease the jury
were deliberating on. He told Gibson that he
understood the jury good six to nix, and that
he (Gibson) was in laver of bonging Mitchell
the prisoner on trial. He also said why don't
you find the prisoner guilty? fir there is an
outcry among the citizens of Charleston that
you don't find hitn guilty." Mr. Fume prompt.

its' The Hon. Linn Boyd has written a
letter with a view to the recent election
in Kentucky, in which he declares himself as
follows, on one of the groat questions of the
day
.t By the legislation of Congress, it is clearly
thO right and duty of the Territorial Legisla
ture to give adequate protection to persons and
property ( slaves included) in the Territories,
and I earnestly and most confidently hope that
the duty will be so performed, as that no ocea•
sion trill ever arise for an appeal to Congress
ou that subject. If, however, doomed to dis•
appointment in this hope, and from bad faith
on the part of the people of the Territories, the
rights of slaveholders should be disregarded
and outraged, I trust that very few trill be found
to deny that to Congress belongs the power and
the duty to offer just protection.''

when the frosts of autumn have chilled
them unto death. Ambition, with its hol
low promises, and pride, with its lofty look,
have vanished away. The world, with its
deceitfulness; pleasure, with its gilded
temptations, are gone ; and alone, in utter
destruction of all that time promised, it
must start on its solemn journey across the
valley of the shadow of death!

An iiihdel who was traveling, and who
was uverteken by nightfall in a lonely and
dangerous place, confessed that he was re

In exercising hospitality to a clergyman
who arrived at a dwelling late in the eve
ning, the heads of the house surrendered
to him their own chamber. Their little
daughter. three years of age, was asleep
in the crib, and they concluded not to die
m b her,. Quite early in the morning she
awoke, and looking toward the bed usual
ly occupied by her parents, saw a stranger
there. At first she WaLl startled, and cov
ered her head with the counterpane.—
Soon, however, she peeped out and said:
—"Man do you pray to Godf" "Yes,"
was the answer, "1 love God, and pray to
him every day." This satisfied the little
inquirer; shy smiled, turned over, and
dropped asleep.
