Slowly o'er the radiant ocean,
Rose the full-orbed harvest moon;
A thousand joyous waves beneath—
Above, the glorious sky of June;
And still, to the bewildered eye,
The sky was sea, the sea was sky,
While, ever more, with ceaseless roar,
The billows beat the patient shore.
Out spoke then to his sister dear,
A little brother standing near,
Pallid• and lame, but in his eye
The light of immortality:
"Even such a night our God had given
To angels—were there night in heaven!"
Again he spake—that

For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate
A Letter from Ohio.
MR. EDITOR :—ln visiting the town of
Sharon, in the County of Noble, a short
time ago, I found there in session the Pres
bytery of Zanesville ; and as I am a Pres
byterian, I attended its sittings with much
interest and satisfaction. It is comparative
ly a large and influential body. By refer
ence to the Records, I learned that seven
years ago it Met iu this place. Its number
then was thirteen ministers, one licentiate
—no candidates. It now numbers twenty
ministers, one licentiate, and fourteen can
didates, and has a prospect of soon having
its number of ministers increased to twenty
four. They are generally young, active,
and energetic, and are united. The unanim
ity of their deliberations and conclusions is,
in the highest degree, commendable. There
is not aD. D. among them. Can this be
the cause of the abounding of so much
brotherly kindness? In all the speeches I
heard, there was certainly no manifestation
of imperiousness, selfishness, or ambition.
The people attended in crowds. The
church building was large, and was filled
with a respectable and attentive audience,
all the time. This may have arisen, in some
degree, from a circumstance that seemed to
give, to the occasion a special interest, viz :
the reception of two ministers from other
denominations. One of these was the Rev.
S. Finley, late President of Madison College,
and minister in the Associate Reformed
Church. The other was a Rev. Mr. May
nard, of Cambridge, Ohio, minister in the
Methodist Protestant Church.
The examinations of those brethren on
Theology were highly satisfactory. Atirci,
observed that when Mr. Maynard was giving
Presbytery the account of the transition of
his faith from Arminianisru to Calvinism,
the people actually rose up from their seats,
and leaned forward to hear. They did the
same when Mr. Finley was narrating his
change of views on Psalmody. None who
heard their statements could help concluding,
that anything but the force of truth moved
them to change, as they have done, their
ecclesiastical relations.
Two other ministers, one from the Cum
berland Presbyterians, and the other from
the German Reformed, are expected to ask
to be received into this Presbytery at its
meeting in October. Old School Presby
terianism is becoming very popular in this
regitin:
This Presbytery has under its care an
Academy, named after the celebrated Dr.
Miller,-of Princeton, which was reported as
being in a highly prosperous condition. In
cipient measures were taken for its partial
endowment. It is located at Washington ;
and the pastor of that church bore marked
testimony to the Christian deportment of
the students generally, saying they were a
credit to the town, and an example to his
church. This I was the more pleased to
hear, since I have been pained to learn that
both Antrim and Muskingum Colleges, in
this State, have been compelled to suspend
almost all exercises, through the insubordi
nation of the students. If I am correctly
informed, the former has entirely, and the
latter nearly, ceased operations ! I think a
well directed Academy much preferable to a
College, for the formation of the moral char
acter of the young.
From Sharon, I went to Plymouth, Wash
ington County, and passed through a region
of country exceedingly broken. The land
is poor, and miserably farmed, and, conse
quently, quite unproductive. The roads in
some places are so precipitous, as to be al- '
most impassable ; and as I. followed them in
their zig•zugs and tneanderings around the
rocks, crags, and bluffs, they made me think
of the crooked streets and avenues of Bos
ton, spoken of so frequently.
The drought here has been, and still con
tinues to be, very severe. Every species of
vegetable is dried up. There is literally no
corn nor potatoes. And there is a like fail
ure in both garden and orchard. The beds
of the streams are dry; the heavens seem
to have turned to brass; the earth, iron; and
the waters of the beautiful " Muskingum "
look like green oil.
Most of the people in this region are ex
tremely old•fashioned. And they lack en
ergy, as well as the graces and polish of
education. Nearly all the women go bare
footed, both in and out of doors; and many
of them seem to have adopted a stereotyped
copy of the fashions, not only of their
mothers, but even of their grand-mothers.
Yet every neighborhood and village has its
beauties and its belle, who seem just as proud
in their sphere as the most costly-dressed
exquisite in Broadway. Pride knows no
geographic lines, nor localities, nor condi
tions in the human family. It belongs to
the heart.
The men, too, have their corresponding
peculiarities. They are as addicted to keep
ing their hats on as the ladies are to keep
ing their shoes off It is thought nothing
for men here to sit from . 44 dark till bed
time" in the house with their hats on.
And I do assure you, Mr. Editor, it is not
the lack of means, but a kind of rustic
carelessness, (perhaps independence,) that
superiuduces so much awkwardness among
this people. They live, in a great measure,
destitute of the conveniences of life. For
instance, where I called in two or three
places, to get water for my horse, they had
no bucket; and, consequently, my horse had
either to go thirsty, or I must carry drink to
him in a small tin pan ! It would have
made you laugh to have seen a modern, shoe
less Rebecca drawing from a well, with a
pole called a " sweep," and me carrying the
water to my almost famishing horse, in small
pan fulls, minus the " jibbles." It is not
poverty, as I intimated, that causes these
people to live so. It is a want of informa
tion as to what constitutes the comfort's and
conveniences of life. As I said before, their
habits are hereditary ; and if any one at
tempts a reformation, he, loses caste.
These remarks apply rather to the East
than the West side of the river. And here
I may as well relate a political anecdote, to
show how intensely this people are excited
on the subject of the Presidency. One old
gentleman said he did not know as he would
go to the election at all; but if he did, be
would just as leave vote for Gin eral Jack
son as eny on 'em," for he had understood
he was " a runen agin," and that he wasn't
yet dead, as reported l 0, ye political
"stompers," why do you not bestir your
selves, and give the dear, dear people light?
Unless you do, our glorious country will
crumble to pieces !—perhaps.
There was no small excitement here in
regard to the detection of a postmaster in
robbing the mail. He has been at it for
some years. And I learned that ten dollars
sent to you, Mr. Editor, as subscription
money for the Banner and Advocate, were
taken out by this man. You may get the
money yet.
I crossed the Muskingum at Beverly. In
I this town there is a College. Its roof has
an antique appearance ; and yet there is
neither shrub, bush, nor tree near the building.
It stands all alone., in a barren common,
without even a fence around it. 0 but it
looks hot: The mercury is now about 98°.
Two illy-clad students are in the door, with
books in their hands. Poor fellows ! how
they sweat ! If they ever graduate, I
wouldn't wonder if they would be consider
ably hot brained." There is, doubtless,
as great a contrast between this College and
Yale, as there is between the bare-footed
beauties, above noticed, and belles in Wash
ington. But it takes all kinds of people,
and of Institutions also, to make up the
world, and especially the United States.
When I got to Plymouth, I found that
the Presbyterians here bad just completed
a new church edifice, and that it was to be
dedicated the next day. Ot course, I staid
and participated in the pleasures and priv
ileges of the occasion. The church was
organized only a few years since, by the
Presbytery of Hocking. They had.but ten
members when they commenced building.
God blessed them, and the Church Exten
siOn Committee helped them; and they have
now the best finished and furnished house
of worship in all that country.
The whole work of organizing and build
ing up a church of our connexion in this
place his devolved principally on one or two
men. The new edifice cost about one thou
sand dollars, four hundred of which were
paid by one person, and be is comparatively
a poor man. It is wonderful how much a
man can do when he has a disposition to work.
If we have the mind, we can soon find the
means.
Rev. W. Reed is Stated Supply of this
church, and I was happy to see how easily
he and the minister who officiated at the
dedication, raised the sum necessary to liqui
date the debt on the building.
An opportunity was given for men.bers to
unite with the church. Seven were re
ceived, all heads of families but one. One
adult was baptized.
A number subscribers were received
for the Banner and Advocate; and I learned
that some of them , were not members of
any church, and that no one of them had
ever taken a religious paper befure.
This is a beautiful country, and is quite
fertile and well watered. A number of
Presbyterians, from Pennsylvania, have re
cently settled here. There is room for
more.
I saw nothing very curious here, unless
it was the log cabin in 'which the ion.
Thomas Ewing was born; and, after all, it
just looks like any other old cabin. I may
write ac:ain; but I do not know whence,
nor when. M. Y. N.

Bible Narratives—No. 14.
NIMROD.-OEN. X : 8-10 ; XI i 9.
Nimrod was the son of Cush, and the.
grandson of Ham. The peculiar Bible.;
statement in regard to him, seems to inti-
mate that he might be the eldest son, or ojie
of the eldest, though not named till the last,
that his remarkable character might be
described. " Ile was a mighty hunter be
fore Jehovah"; wherefore it is said, Even
as Nimrod, the mighty hunter before Je
hovah. And the beginning of his king
dom was Babel, and Lech, and Acad, and
Calneh, in the land of Sbinar."
Thou?b the word "bunter," as used else
where, (Gen: xxv: 27,) of itself might refer
only to taking and destroying wild beasts;
y,et, as used in connexion with "mighty," so I
recently applied to the renowned Ms of
antediluvian giants, it seems natural to
suppose that Nimrod was very like the sons
of those apostates whom God had destroyed. - 1
This view is strengthened by the declaration
that be was the founder and first prince of
a kingdom which extended rapidly and
widely its borders.
The phrase, " before Jehovah," literally,
" before the face of Jehovah," does not
contradict this sense; for the greatest' wick
edness is sometimes so described. Thus,
" The earth was corrupt before the face of
the Lord."—Gen. vi : 11. Adultery is an
abomination "before the face of the Lord."
--Dent. xxiv : 4. Sometimes it gives with
the verb the sense of resist ; as, " No man
shall be able to stand before the face of (re
sist) thee."—Deut. vii': 24. (See Esther
ix : 2, where it is rendered withstand.) So,
also, the word rendered Wore, sometimes
means against; as, "The wicked plotteth
against the just."—Ps. xxxvii : 12. There
' fore, the idea may be that Nimrod was a
mighty hunting one, or a mighty giant,
devisine and executing plans against the
laws of God, as the present God of provi
dence. The fact that he imitated, and was
the first imitator of the old renowned he
roes whom God had destroyed, would cause
his name to become a proverb among men,
by which to describe all persons of great
courage, and all acts of remarkable boldness
and intrepidity.
The period in which Nimrod lived, and
his connexion with the city and the tower
of Babel, confirms this view of his char
rioter.- 'ln the days of Eber, the great
grandson of Shem, a remarkable division of
THE PRES
the earth took place, which led this patri
arch to call one of his sous, born at the time,
Pe e., clicisiolc, to keep him in remem
brance of the event. This division of the
earth, mentioned (Gen. x: 25,) as taking
place at the birth of Peleg, was probably
social or political, and not physical, as some
have thought. it likely refers to some mu
tual agreement among the sons of Noah, by
which they divide the vacant world among
themselves; or perhaps to some remarkable
providence by which they are compelled to
separate into distinct families and nations.
The confusion of tongues , by which Nim
rod's ambition to be te ruler of the world
was broken, and by which the plans of the
children of men, to makethemselves a name,
were frustrated, most strikingly describes
such a providence.
Peleg was born one hundred and one
years •after the deluge. By allowing the
generations in the line of Ham to be the
same as in the line of Shem, Nimrod might
be sixty-four years of age at the confusion
of tongues, the birth of Peleg, and the di
vision of the earth among the sons of Noah.
As Canaan was the youngest son of Ham,
and Cush, the father of Nimrod, was the
eldest, it may have been about the same
time, and partly in view of the proud and
rebellious conduct in which the race of
Ham took the lead, that Noah pronounced
the curse to which we lave already re
ferred.
By comparing Gen. x : 10, with xi : 9,
we find that the confusion of tongues which
gave name to the beginning of Nimrod's king
dom, must either have been earlier than his
days, or he himselt was a renowned leader in
building the city and the tower. We have
stated that Nimrod might be about sixty
four years of age at this period. This was
made as a general statement from the
genealogy of Shem. But as Arphaxed,
born two years after the flood, was the third
son of Shem, as Cush was the eldest son of
Ham, and as we need not suppose those
named in the line to Abraham were the
eldest, as we know was not the case with
the first and the last generations, we may
only allow about twenty-one years for a
generation. Thus Nimrod, born to Cush
twenty-one years after the flood, would be
eighty years of age when his haughty plans
were frustrated by the Almighty. This was
the age of Moses when he entered upon the
perilous work of liberating his countrymen
from the bondage of Egypt; and, as con
nected with the longevity of man during
this period, Nimrod would be in the early
vigor of manhood.
To place the building of the city and the
tower earlier than the manhood of Nimrod,
would hardly allow a population large
enough to make them a name, and to call
for a destruction of their works. The
chronological difficulty is still greater, if we
suppose, with some, that only a part of the
race of Shem and Japheth united with the
Hamites in resisting the will of Heaven.
The greatest object lying against this view
which makes Nimrod the leader at so early
an age, is the fact that his grandfather,
father, and uncles, must have been his sub
jects, even if we suppose that the races of
Shem and Japheth, as such, did not join to
resist the dispersion of the family of Noah
over the earth. But, trusting to the Bible
for a faithful sketch of the real life of the
early post-diluvian patriarchs, finding Nim
rod to be the most remarkable p3rsonage up
rill the days of Abraham, and discovering
his name associated with Babel, we ought
not to deny, the leadership to him to whom
the Bible gives it, in order to give it, on ac
count of age and venerableness, to Noah, or
any of his sons, no one of whom is inti
mated to be a giant warrior of the forest, or
a first king of the world.
Nimrod, after his plans were defeated,
and his people were scattered, in obedience
to the law given to Noah to people the
world, (Gen. ix: 7) still reigned cver the
scattered fragments of his empire. By
natural increase of population, and by con
quest, his kingdom so strengthened that he
was able to hand it down to a successor, who,
in the
. ddys of Abraham, was one of the
powerful monarchs of the East. The early
greatness of Nimrod, and the fact that he
ruled for a time not only over the Hamites
but over parts of the other families of Noah,
is confirmed by the statement that, " Out of
this land," i. e., Shiner, the land of Nim
rod, " went Asshur, and builded Nineveh,"
thus founding the Assyrian empire.
Some suppose Nimrod to be the same •
Baal, or Bel, who was _.,m00 -
chief god, by the Babylonians,ln y some
other oriental tribes; or the same as BeJos,
of profane history. This is not inconsist
ent with the Bible account. Baal means
lord or master,.a title Which might be given
to the sun, as'"the ruler of the day, and the
monarch of the skies; or to the builder of
the tower and of the city which was to have
consolidated the human race into one great
empire, and which those who still remained,
hoped would give them a name, and dis
tinguish them from the rest of men. Thus,
Baal-worship may be considered as taking
its rise either in an admiration of the works
of nature or of man, to the neglect of God.
It is a little remarkable that the Bible name
given to this first monarch means rebel; or,
if we. take the reflexive action of the Niphal
conjugation of the Hebrew verb, which
gives us the form of the noun, it means
apostate, or one who has for himself as
sumed a fixed state of rebellion. The• his
tory of Nimrod confirms and unites both
meanings, presenting him as standing in
open war with every opposer, whether God
or man. This has generally been the char
acter of all who, like the builder of , Babel,
have aimed at universal empire, as that
alone which will satisfy the large and grasp
ing ambition that burns within their breast.

Mistresses and Domestics.
I. If books and newspapers are among
the means of parlor improvement, an appro
priate selection of both will have its value as
an appendage to the kitchen. If daily re
ligous services constitute part of the order of
the household, the servants will be wel
comed to the observance of them. Oppor
tunities to attend public worship will be
freely afforded, and such other appropriate
means of religious improvement as may be
suitable will not be denied them. Whatev
er would be done or forborne because of its
moral or religious bearing on the parlor, will
he equally done or forborne from regard to
the interests of the kitchen.
2. The mistress of a family should feel
it to be a part of her mission to teach those
who are under her care the best way of do
ing house-work. There is a right and a
wrong way of cooking, washing, churning,
sweeping, &c. There are principles of econ
omy which a good housewife' must recog
nize in the use of fuel and food; in the
adaptation of means to ends, and in the time
and order of different departments of labor.
• The mistress of a family has quite as good
fright to feel proud of a notable housekeeper
the wife of some farmer, mechanic, or com
mon laborer, trained under h,:r care, as a law
ver has to feel proud of some eminent ad vo
cute or jurist whom he trained to the pro
fession ; or as a merchant or engineer has to
be proud of some eminent man in their line,
whose apprenticeship was served under their
eye. flow much poverty and suffering
would have been saved, if those who - had
been at service had been thoroughly instruc
ted by their mistresses in the art and mys
tery of house-keeping! .
A statement was made at the last meet-.
ing of the Board of Guardians at Leicester,
(England,) that out of the ninety girls and
young women in the Workhouse School,
there was not one who could iron a shirt, or
get up a linen properly.
3. Suitable opportunities for recreation,
and for cultivating the social affections,
should be afforded. So far as a proper regard
to the regulations of the family will allow, the
social sympathies of the servants should be
generously indulged; they should be allowed
to visit and be visited by their friends, and
should be permitted to reciprocate the rights
of hospitality ; so that, though their position
in the family is subordinate, it shall not fail
to be recognized as identifying them with
its interests:
4. That' the mistress of the family is
bound to care for the personal and moral
habits of a servant, is too obvious to require
a remark. If, unhappily, habits'of an oppo
site character have been contracted, it might
be 'a sufficient bar to employment; for we
cannot suppose the largest claim Uf humani
ty would embrace the admission into our
families of persons whose example and influ
ence would be corrupting. But when the
mistress' of a house observes in a servant a
dispositien to gad about, to dress inconsist
ently, to cultivate improper acquaintances,
or to indulge in vain or vicious amusements,
she is not at liberty to save herself all care
and trouble by just dismissing her. She
will gain little by exchanging her for anoth
er, who ha's pera.dventure been dismissed by
some other labor-saving lady for a like cause.
The observance of such faults in a servant,
imposes upon the mistress an obligation to do
what she can to correct them. It is her
mission as a woman, and as the head of a
family, to use her influence and station for
this end., If it is an honorable office to
make laws for the government of the people,
it is quite as honorable an office to train the
people to pay obedience to the laws when
made. And.this servant that now is, may,
in a few fleeting years, be at the head of a
little commonwealth of her own; and wheth
er they shall be hindrances or helpers to the
public weal, whether they shall lead quiet
and peaceable lives in all godliness and
honesty, or whether they shall be Ishmaels,
may depend on whether this young woman
is sent adrift, or retained in her present.
place and gently won to right ways.
5. The award of a just (not to say gen
erous) compensation for domestic service, is
an act not more of duty than of interest. There
is in every community a current rate at which
domestic service is obtained. Itis fixed, as
most other rates are, by measure of demand
and supply. The class of persons who seek
such employment, is of course ,a dependent
class, and when service is faithfully rendered,
it should be liberally recompensed. A young
half-orphan girl seeks the place of a child's
nurse. The 'Christian lady of whom she
asks the place, is willing to give her one
dollar per week; but she wants and asks one
dollar and fifty cents. One dollar and twen
ty five cents is offered and reluctantly ac
cepted. It is not long before a neighboring
lady of fashion is in want of a child's nurse
at one dollar and fifty cents a week, and our
poor young woman, tempted by the increase
of pay, seeks and obtains the place. Here
she falls into evil company, and in less than
a twelve-month is the disgraced and degra
ded inmate of a charity institution to which
the Christian lady contributes ten dollars , a
year. If these forty quarters of a dollar had
been distributed through forty weeks of ser
vice, rendered by the poor servant girl in a
Christian family, they might have been the
means of Baling a soul from death and hid
ing apultittide of sins. Ought not house
keepers to eorlsider more carefully their ob
ligations to make their position tributary.to
the highest degree of religious, moral and
social advantage of all who are or who can
properly be bought within their domestic
influence ? Is i fit not one of 'the designs of
the benevolen Founder of the family rela
tiOn that 4,24 ldle mainly instrumental in
'moulding the - haracter of society in all its
ranks and grado? And are not those who
use it chiefly,. if not entirely, to subserve
their own eclfialLintcrest, ehargeable with a
gross perversiOn of one of the most invalua
ble human hies:sings ?
,1
6. But not : yaly should domestic servants
receive liberalrand prompt wages, but their
employers shoUld be on such terms with
them,' that a friendly hint as to the mode
of spending their earnings, would be wel
come. By a little seasonable counsel many
a one might ',be persuaded to receive a por
tion of each month's wages, not only with
out inconvenience, but with positive advan
tage; for the \very effort to save would in
duce habits of prudence and economy, for
want of which, multitudes come to poverty,
and not a fe ' to shame and contempt.
We have mind at this moment a female
;
servant, who,has lived perhaps twenty years
in the same family. There were times dur
ing that period in which the relation was
almost terminated, in consequence of a sin
gle infirmity 'hi which she was subject at
long intervals. .1 Her wages were never more
than one dollar and fifty cents a week, and
yet she has managed to dress very respecta
bly—to pay for her seat in a place of wor
ship—to render pecuniary assistance to sev
eral relatives—and to save of her earnings
in less than ten years, the sum of six hun
dred dollars, the interest of which is equiva
lent 'to twenty four weeks of hard labor.
There are thousands in our country who
might with equal ease reserve a portion of
their wages; and thereby save themselves
not only from the reproach of extravagance
and folly to which they are now open, but
from that abject dependence which is so
prolific a source of danger and suffering.
There are practices prevalent among
housekeepers in the treatment of domestics,
which greatly prejudice the relation, on
both sides, and lead to inextricable difficul
ties. Among them may be mentioned the
enticing of servants from , their places, by
the offer of high wages—concealing the
faults, or exaggerating the good qualities,
of those whose characters are asked—giving
extraordinary privileges to servants for the
sake of retaining them, or to compensate
for extraordinary Services—and making
costly presents Of dress or ornaments, such
as few mistresses can afford to give, and few
servants expect to receive. Every house
keeper is interested in preserving a health
ful sentiment on all these subjects. Of the
injury she inflicts on a neighbor to-day,
1 by her neglect or inconsideration, she may
feel the re-action not many days hence. If
every mistress would do her best to improve
her own servants, the "good time" would
not be long in coming, when the whole class
would be elevated in character and useful
ness, and the relation, assume its true inter
est and in3portance.

Pacific Railroads.
A few days before the adjournment of
Congress, Mr. Denver reported a billovhich
had been prepared by a committeo of thir
teen members of the House of Representa
tives, providing for the construction of sev
eral railroads to the Pacific coast. It was
made the special order for an early day in
December. A few days previously the House.
Committee on Public Lands reported this
same bill. Having thus the endorsenient
of two committees, it is presumable that a
strong effort will be made to pass it. It pro
vides for an extension of the. Pacific Han
nibal and St. Joseph Railroad, of Missouri,
and six lowa railroads, from the West line of
the States of Missouri and lowa Westwardly
to Fort Kearney, on the Platte river, and '
grants to each company six sections of ? land
per mile, to enab.e them to build the rail
ways. From Fort Kearney it allows these
companies jointly to build a railroad to Cal
ifornia, and gives them thirty sections of land
per mile, part of the way, and forty sec
tions per mile for the remainder, as material
aid in the construction. These companies
are to receive $5OO per mile for carrying the
mails. The bill provides, that when the
joint railway reaches the Western base of the
Sierra-Nevada it shall divide there, and one
branch proceed directly to San Francisco,
while the other goes to the left along the
base of the mountains, through the cities of
Marysville, Sacramento, and Stockton, to
San Jose. A grant of land is also provided
to secure the construction of a railroad from
Benicia to Sacramento. For the Northern
route from Lake Superior to Puget's Sound,
the grant of land embraces twenty sections
per mile. West of the Rocky Mountains, a
branch is indicated, to run to a point on the
Columbia river, atur near the mouth of the
Willamette, to which a grant of forty sec
tions per mile is made. The Southern rail
road to the Pacific, Congress can only aid
partially, as all the lands in Texas, not owned
by private hands, belong to the State of Tex
as. The latter has long been vainly endeav
oring to build a railway from the Louisiana
line, near Shreveport, to a point in New
Mexico, near El Paso. The bill before Con
gress grants land to aid in building roads to
connect with the East end of this road, and
leading to New Orleans, Springfield, Mo.,
Memphis, St. Louis, etc.,and, with the West
end in New Mexico. rom the latter point,
the road goes to San Francisco and San Di
ego. Forty sections of land per mile are
granted in aid of this Western division, and
the whole of the roads are to receive the
same price for carrying the ivail as the North
ern roads.
The provisions of this bill seem to be suf
ficient for the purpose designed, and should
it become a law, it will, no doubt, greatly
expedite the settlement of the Western wil
derness. It looks to the construction of three
trunk roads, only, the Northern, the middle,
and the Southern. The trunk of the middle
and the Southern. The trunk of the middle
route lies entirely in Nebraska Territory,
and in a straight line with the railways lead
ing from Philadelphia and New York to and
through lowa. It is the one which appeals
most directly to the interests of these two
great cities, and shbuld receive all the aid
which their capital and energy can give it.—

It was formerly customary to announce, that no pay
would be required unless a perfect cure was performed.
That was done to show the people there would be no risk in
giving me a trial. But now, inasmuch as the leading citi
zens of Pittsburgh, know my cure never fails, it would be
superfluous to make another such announcement.

MTITTTERING AND STAMMERING
' " CURED, Without Pain or Surgical Operation_
The readers of the Banner and .rideccate will recollect I
published a notice last Winter, headed " The Last Call to
Stuttering and Stammering Persons," in which I announced
was the only chance they would ever have of getting cured,
and all who desired the cure should either send for it by
mailer call themselves before the 10th of March, as on that
day I had made arrangements to resign my profession, and
retire from the practice. Since the 10th, I have personally
consulted forty. and sent the cure by mail to sixty indi
viduals. In every instance perfect satisfaction has been
rendered. In justice to all who are so unfortunate as to
stutter or stammer yet. I have thought proper to give
another opportunity of being cured, and , therefore would
respectfully request them to send me $2O, tivhich is less
than my usual fee,) and I will immediately send them my
cure. By so doing they save the expert* of traveling.
am a responsible man. and if my cure is not effectual I will
agree to refund Ihe money. Recollect. this cure never fails.
Address Dr. WYOKOFF, Sox 746, Fitteburgh Post Office.
There tom been a floating population of imposters travel
ing the country, professing to cure impediments of speech
by my system, and many have had the audacity to advertise
in my name, and give the names of men for reference whom
they never knew or saw. When persons who stammer
called, those men would represent me,
and in several in
stances produce a certificate purporting to be mine, vesting
in them full power and authority to practice as my Agents.
I have frequently warned the Public of those men, an they
are not iu full possession of my system, and cannot cure.
Through, untiring perseverance. I arrested 'two of them,
and others will sooner or later share the same fate. This
cure for Stuttering or Stamintring is one of my own
discovery; for which I have a copy right, secured by law,
and have successfully practised the same for the term of
nine years.
My references are of the highest order, such as the Medi
cal Faculty of New York, Philadelphia, and the University
of Virginia, all the Press of Pittsburgh, Washington,
Greensburg, and Uniontown. Pa., besides fifty thousand
persons in different parts of the country.
This cure for Stuttering and Stammering is. performed in
less than one hour. There is no pain or surgical operation
attending it.
The beauty of all this is, it will cure children of live, and
adults at the age of one hundrOd years. A person who is
cured by it, can never again stutter, even if they try. I of
fer to forfeit $lO,OOO if any person can ever afterwards Stut
