NEW AND VERY WONDERFU: EYGQBDAN A Brought home to the door of the Million? WONDERFUL discov made by Dr. Curtis, of t ment of Consumption, Asthma, diseases ofthe Lungs. We referto Dr. CURTIS’S HY- GEANA, or INHALING HYGEAN VAPOR AND CHERRY SYRUP. With this new me- thod, Dr. C. bas restored many afflicted ones to health, as an evidence.of which he has innumera- Die certificates. Speaking of the treatment, a phy- sician remarks, ‘*It is evident that inhaling—con- stantly breathing an agreeable, healing vapor—the medicinal properties must come in direct contact ‘with the whole erial cavities of the lungs, and thus escape the many and varied c! es produced upon them when introduced intothe stomach, and subject to the of digestion.»> The Hyge- ‘gna is for sale at all the Dr its throughout the country. —N. ¥.

Dr. CHEEVER, of New York, testi- es of our medicine in the following language : New York, Nov. 15, ish. Dear Sir: 1 think highly of Dr. Curtis's Hyge- ‘gna as a remedy in diseases of the throat and lungs. Having bad some opportunity to testify its ettica- % 1 am convinced that it is a most excellent rem- ly, both the Syrup and the inhaling application to the chest. Prof. 8. CENTER writes us as follows: Gentiemen—I have secenny moe herarsre to test your Cherry Syrup and Hygean Vapor, ina cage of chronic sore cima, that had refused to yield @ other forms of treatment, and the result has satis- fied me that, whatever may be the composition of preparation, it is no imposition, but an excel- nt remedy. 1 Wish, for the sake of the afflicted, that it might be brought within the reach of all. DR. JOHNS, one of the most celebrated Physi- ians in New Y ork writes as follows: Dr. Curtis—Dear Sir—Having witnessed the excellent effects of your Hygeana or Inhaling Hy- n Vapor and Cherry Sieg 5 in case of Chronic Bronchitis, and being much in favor of counter ir- ritation in affections of the throat, Bronchial tubes and lungs, I can therefore cheerfully recommend your Medicated Aparatus as being the most con- venient and effectual mode of applying anything of the kind I have ever seen.

An article in the last number of Black- wood’s Magazine, on the above subject, holds out the iden that the age of man should be one hundred years instead of three-score and ten. The author says: “We do not simply die; we usually kill ourselves. Our ‘habits, our passions, our anxieties of body and mind ; these shorten our lives, and prevent us from reaching the natural limit of human exist- ence.’ Gluttony, he asserts, destroys more lives than intemperate drinking, and yet, ‘it is the fashion to restrict the term sobriety to the moderate use of liquors."’ A sober life implies moderation in all thin; in eating, drinking, and in the enjoyment of all the plea- sures ol life, But although we have heard wuch of moderation in eating and in drink- ing, the difficulty has always arisen in our minds respecting the trae standard of modera- tion. What is it? who will define it? The standard suitable for one is not fer another. Nomancan doubt for a moment the benefits of moderation—temperance in all things.

A sbort time ago Ferris returned to Chester, and think- ing his betrothed still innocent, married her. Gordon—who had really never forgiven Ferris the injuries of the past—placed a kage of his wite’s lettersin his way, which told the whole story of her crime. His first thought was to take tho life of the destroyer of his ace, but not meeting him, and reflecting hat his wife might be equally guilty, he lett the viilaye, and has never yet returned. The excitement growing out of the affair was intense and the Masons promptly expelled Gordon from their Lodge.

There are some a who are never sick without thinking t Ives very much worse off than they really are. Of this class was Mrs. Hoskins, 8 young married tady, and the mother of two fine On one occasion, being visited with a fever, the consequence of imprudent exposure, she gave herself up to the melanehely fancics which usually assaile:! —— persuaded herself that she was going to In consequence of this melancholy preseati- ment she assumed so woe-begone an sppear- ance that even her medical attendant was startled into believing that she was really much worse, from her symptoms than he hel je her to be. ‘under these circumstances he advised her to make what earthly preparation she had yet to make, while there was time to do so. Mrs. Hoskins was an affectionate mother, and the thought of parting from her children, to whom she was so warmly attached, at a time when, more than any other, they needed & mother’s care, was peculiarly di ing. “Their father will be kind to them, no doubt, and sce that they are amply provided for, but nothing that he oan do wal cooly bw ee. “eg 4 a a. radually the idea of a stepmother . gested itself to the lady's imagination, mo such was her care for the haj of her children that she became reconciled to an idea so repugnant to most wives, and adtually be- gan to consider who, among ber acquai' » ener fitted t» become a Mrs. Hos- ns. At length her choice fell upon a Miss Par- ker, an intimate friend of her own Feeling anxious to have this matter satisfactorily set- tled, she dispatched a messenger, haste, for Miss Parker, who, after a brief interval, made her appearance at her friends bedside. ‘«My dear friend,” said Mrs. Hoskins, in a feeble voice, ‘I have sent for you for what, perhaps, ycu will consider a slight reason. But velieve me, it is a mother’s anxiety for her children that prompts me. I am very sick, and shail not live long. So the doctor tells me, and my own feelings tell me that it must be so. The situation in which I shall leave my poor boys, who will thus be deprived of a mother's watchful care, distrosses me beyond messure. There is only wey in which my anxiety can be relieved, and this it is which has prompted me to send for you. Promise me that when I am gone you will marry Mr. Hoskins, and be to them a second mother. Do not refuse me; it is my iast mest.” Desirous of comforting her friend, Miss Par- ker assented to her request, adding: “I will comply with your request, and the oe ey: for I always liked Mr. Hos- ins. “Always liked Mr. Hoskins!” exclaimed his dying wife, raising herself on her elbow, hor feelings of conjugal jealousy for a moment overpowering maternal affection, “you always liked my husband, did you? Then I vow you shall never marry him, if I have to live to pre- vent it.’” Aud Mrs. Hoskins did live. The revulsion of feeling resulting from Miss Parker's unex- pected declaration accomplished, in her case, what the skill of physiciaus had beon unable to effect. There is an old saying, which, like most old sayings, has in it nota little truth, that ““when & woman wills, she will, depend on’t; and when she won't, she won't, end there's an end on’t.”? So it was in the case of Mrs. Hoskins. She was determined that if Mr. Hoekins ever aria @ second wife, it shall not be Miss ‘arker.

I think it is a very pretty bonnet.’ “I'should let Gorham keep that too.” “Perhaps he might marry !? was the little one’s last query. Wasn't that decidedly “‘ fast?’’ Maxaxcroty Dears sy Drowninc.—On Wednesday afternoon (the Troy, N. ¥., Whig of the 6th instant says) a number of quite small boys were bathing off Fish Island. Be- fore they left the water they were joined by four larger boys, including* Charles Perkins. The latter party had been in the water but a short time when they discovered that two or three of the smaller boys appeared to be struggling in the water and drowning. They immediately went after them, and Perkins succeeded in bringing two boys to the surface after they had gone down. In this effort Per- kins apparently became much exhausted, and was observed to be st ling; and as he let one of the hoy whose life he had saved, 6 himself weit down to riseno more. The death of young Perkins cast a gloom over & wide circle of acquaintances.
