Dr. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, Has discovered in one of our coMMON PASTURE WEEDS a remedy that cures EVERY KIND UF HUMOR; FROM THE WORST SCROFULA DOWN TO A COM- MON PIMPLE. E HAS TRIED IT IN OVER ELEVEN hundred cases, and never failed except in two eases, (both thunder humor ) He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its vir- tue, all within twenty miles of Boston. ‘two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing sore mouth. One to three bottles will cure the worst kind of pimples on the face. Che to three bottles will clear the system of Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst canker in the mouth and stomach. Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the worst case of Erysipelas. One to two bottles are warranted to cure all humor fn the eyes. ‘Two bottles are warranted to cure running of the ears and blotches among the hair. Four to six bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and running ulcers One bottle will cure scaly eruption of the skin. Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the worst case of ringworm. Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the most desperate case of rheumatism ‘Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the salt rheum. Five to eight bottles will cure the worst cases of scrofula. A benefit is always experienced from the first boitle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the above quantity is taken. Reader, I peddled over a thousand bottles of this in the vicinity of Boston. I know the effect of itin everycase So sure as water will extin- guish fire s sure willthis cure humor. I never sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after a trial it always speaks for itself. There are two things about this herb that appears to me surpris- ing; first that it grows in our pastures, in some laces quite plentiful, and yet its value has never n known until I discovered it in 1546—second, that it should cure all kinds of humor. In order to give some idea of the sudden rise and great popularity of the disco » I will state that in April, 1853, I peddled it, and sold about 6 bottles per day—in April, 1854, I sold over 1,000 bottles per day of it. Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been in business ae thirty years, say that no- thing in the an of patent medicines was ever like it. There is a universal praise of it from all quarters. In my own practice I always kept it strictly for humors—but since its introduction as a general family medicine great and wonderful virtues have n found in it that | never suspected Several cases of epileptic fits—a disease which was always considered incurable, have been cured by a few bottles. U, what a mercy if it will prove effctual in all cases of that awful malady—there are' but few who have seen more of it than I have. I know of several cases of Dropsy, all of them ‘ed people cured by it. For the various diseases ofthe Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever and Ague, Pain inthe Side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly im diseases of the Kid- neys, &c., the discovery has done more good than any medicine ever known. No change of diet ever necessary—eat the best you can get and enongh of it. Directions for Use.—Adults one table spoonful Per day—Children over ten years dessert spoon ‘al—Chlidren from five esa ae tea spoon- fal.

WRIGHT'S Vegetable Liquid Cathartic; OR, PLEASANT FAMILY PHYSIC. iE UNEQUALED SUCCESS AND WUN- derful popularit; of my “LIQUID CA- THARTIC”’ amongst all classes of people—phy- sicians, heads of families, goveraors of the ditfer- ent almshouses, and overseers of various public institutions—can only be regarded asa united VERDICT OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY in its favor. Asa Family Physic and Alterative, it has never yet been ao Some pe'sons, who have been cing the page for years with their nauseous and debilitating compounds, have endeavored to bring my ‘‘ Liquid Cathartic”’ into aed he but with so trifling effect that a notice would be superfiuons. This medicine is not a cure-all, but may be con- sidered a specific for the folio com! its :— Liver Complaints, Affections of the Bladder and Kidneys, Bilious Fever, Bronchitis, Costiveness, Pleurisy, towel Complaint, Piles, Blotches on the Skin, Dropsy, Dizziness, Dyspepsia, very effica- cious, Erysipelas, Feverand Ague, Gout, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Impurity of the Blood, Mer- curial Diseases. all Cutaneous fy nab irhe any remedy, Pains in Side, Back and Breast, Second- ary Symptoms, Ulcers of a'l kinds, and for all the pur, ofa Camily Physic A es, conditions cases can be beneficial- ly treated with it; and in all cases of Debiiity, ‘eakness at the Stomach, and Affections of the Throat, and Tysrepeta no physician should be without it. I¢can be « nistered as easily as water ; it does not nauseate the weakest stomach, nor produce griping pains, nor leave the bowels costive. I have ever held all quack pre| ions in the great abhorrence, and can safely that I have avoided all assimilations to quackery in its preparation. THERE 18 NOT A PARTICLE OF MERCURY IN IT.

We are obliged to subsist ourselves, aided by the influence of Gov. Rat- ledge, who is one of the first characters I have met with. Our prospects are gloomy, not- withstanding these flashes of success. I hope Congress wiil not take into their heads that Lord Cornwallis is ruined from this fortunate event. There is wanted for the recovery of this country a well-appeinted army consisting of about 5,000 infantry and 600 or 800 horse ; these, with the auxiliary aid of the militia, would be cuperior to any force the enemy have or can maintain in this quarter.

A sensible lady correspondent of the Home Journal thus writes on this subject : ‘*Would that the women of America would arouse to # consciousness of the responsibility resting upon them, and firmly discountenance any demand of fashion which can seriously affect their health! Of what consequence will it be, some twenty years hence, whether they strictly conform to its every caprice or not? but if, by so doing, their health is in- jured, how fearfully will they then see the effects of their mad folly, not only in them- selves, but, it may be, in their children also. ‘In a world where we begin with mothers,’ it is not asking too much that they should see that their own duty is accomplished. “Look at the ‘sterner sex,’ who, though they vary their own dress as fashion dictates, seem to haye a more sensible leader to follow; for, in what particular can you find them sac- rificing health demands’? They may wear ‘continuations of the Vesuvius pattern,’ coats long or short waisted, yet they are carefal to dress so as to keep warm and dry. “ Look at their feet! You do not see ons in a bundred venture forth in damp, chilly weather with a thin-soled cloth boot. No! they wear boots with thick soles and high heels; while, on the other hand, you will not see one woman in a thousand who, when the rain is not pouring, but when the pavement is only damp and cold, wears anything thicker than « single-soled prunella gaiter! If you doubt my assertion, go look for yourself at the thousands who walk in our crowded cities. Now, L ask, “ie isitso? Why is there such adifference? Is it that women are inferior to men in the possession of good common sense; or is it that they dress in this absurd manner to please the eye of man? If so, he must bear some of the blame, if instead of boldly con- temuing ‘heir folly, he encourages them, by admiring the beauty of feet dressed in this manner. Let fair ladies dress as they please in their warm houses, or in warm, dry weath- er, but, for pity’s sake, in cold winter weather, lot them find something warmer than MR.

The editor of the Boston Transcript, on a visit to Cincinnati, on the 16th instant, thes writes of the steam fire-engine : large wooden building. shooting up quite fiercely sreseenes® a teat the ood of the burning building [ bad a good opportunity to > a mente of the various engines. Bayes on to the fire was by a hand engine. at in about ten minutes after the one of the steam fire-engines had been drawn & third of a mile, steam had been raised, bose placed in the reservoir, and two streams of water commenced playing on the fire with a power which very soon reduced the flames, and in a short time entirely quenched them. At the second fire the steam fire engines had a foe worthy their powers, as the most ex- tensive and destructive conflagration that has occurred in the city for several years took place on Sunday morning. An immense steam saw and planing mill, six stories high, and 260 feet long by 60 feet wide, and filled with doors, window sashes, cottage house and other com- bustible materials, was on fire. This struc- ture was surrounded with a lumber yard, and stables, and houses of wood. Everything in the building was of a character to make an intense and rapid heat, and before either the hand or steam engines could reach the spot from the oprre end of the city, portions of the walls of the large mill fell across the street, and the vest amount of burning lumber on the premises made @ beat nearly equal to that which was observed in Boston at the destruc- tion of the freight depot of the Marine rail- road, some years ago. The huge volumes of water from the steam engines which were poured on this burning mass, were in very naked contrast with the puny streams of the hand engioes. The buildings contiguous to the mill were saved without great damage. For six hours the steam fire engines kept up continuous streams on the burning property, and nobly did they sustain their reputation. The firemen evinced = daring and efii- ciency duripg the conflagration, and would at our aldermen, engineers, and fire compa- nies could have been present to witness the complete success of the new machines when subjected to such a test. The third alarm was occasioned by the burning of a ropewalk, and here again was witnessed the value of steam 43 an agent to arrest the progress of a fire. The people here, as far as ge judge, are quite enthusiastic in their approval of the steam fire engines. They have three now in ~ epee and have contracted for four more. ‘hey would as soon think of housing the loco- motive engines on their railroads and return to the use of stage coaches for the conveyance of passengers, or of ignoring the existence of the magnetic telegraph, as they would to give up their steam fire engines. Boston would as soon vote to abolish the use of suction hose, and return to the old system of passing water in buckets at a fire, as Cincinnati would to dispense with the steam fire engine. a “WHAT'S THE USE.” ‘‘Where's Sam?’’ asked Joe Bennet, com- ing into Mr. Powers’ yard and sceing Mr Powers at the door. “Up in his study,” an- swered Sam's mother. ‘‘ And where’s that’’’ asked Joe; “I did not know that Sam had a study.’’ Sam’s mother smiled and told him to 5 into the garden, and may be he would find it. He did so, and shouted, “Sam, where are you’’’ ‘ Halloo,’’ said a voice from above. Joe looked up and saw his friend perched in the crotch of an apple tree, with slate and book in hand. “Come,’’ said Joe, “the boys are going a boating, and want you to go.” “Can't” an- swered Sam ‘I am trying to master this bra; we all missed to-day.’’ “ Why, it is Wednesday afternoon, and ‘sour . - would not study, I am sure; what’s the use,”’ asked Jue. ‘Weill, for my part, I am bound to get this lesson the first thing I do,”’ said Sam. ** Pooh, it’s too hot to study; besides, I hate algebra; what's the use of puzzling your brains over x plusy?’’ “I think it is of no use to get your lessons,” said Sam. “ What are you going to do after that ?’’ asked Joe. “T am going to weed the onion beds."’ “Ob, it’s too pleasant to work; what’s the use of tying yourself up here all the afvernoon!”’ “I know I would not,” said Joe Dennet. “ Well, I think it’s of use to do what needs to be done,”’ was Sam’s answer. ‘This was a fair sample of Sam Powers and Joseph Dennet, two boys who lived in the same neighborhood. Itis twenty-five years or more since this kind of talk took place, and the boys are now men. Sam Powers is called a man cf ‘iron wiil,”’ because he lays plans and carries them out with a patience and en- ergy which never gives up. He is one of the first business men in the State, and a truly pious man too. Howis it with Joe? He goes through life a man just as he did he did a boy. If there is any extra exertion to be made in his business, he asks, “What's the use?” And gves to it with so little heart, that he is sure to fail. He is always complaining of hard times, and wondering how people ahead so. As for his religion, he dues not live as if it were much use to him or any one else. There are some boys who, when they have any thing to do, or are called upon todoa littie more than usual, to shirk off by ask- ing, ‘Oh what's the use’’’ The fact is, boys, there és use in doing like a man what have todo. There és use in getting your io sons, and getting them well, and making extra exertions to get them, if they are difficult. There ts use ia weeding the garden, chopping at the wood-pile, finding the cows, cultivating ataste for reading, and in doing what your parents ask of you. th coaesge 3 sap & boy ing to excuse himself frem duty by gree fretfully, “Oh, what’s the use’’’ I m him asa lazy, shirking, shuffling boy, who will be very likely to be good for nothing when he grows up. You must have a hearty interest in your work; and always feel very suspieious of yourself, if you find an inclina- tion to dodge a duty with this meaningless excuse. Never Lixev Porrer.—In large assem- blages, made 2p of a promiscuous crowd, re- presenting all classes and conditions of socie- ty, we sometimes hear (says the Petersburg Express) not only strange, but really ludi- crous remarks. On Tuesday evening last, while the immense throng which came down from the western section of the State, were crowded around the South Side Depot, we were forced to indulge in a most immoderate “* guifaw,”’ and for which we were indebted to an elderly, butyery plain and unsophisti- cated lady. who, it seems, had never ventured to the precincts of any city. Upon emergi from the car, she was immediately . by s half dozen loud-mouthed darkies, all ex- claiming “ Porter, madam,”’ “ Porter, mad- am,’’ *‘ Here’s the Porter,” for such and such ahotel. Not deigning to answersuch rade in- ter ries and from colored individuals at that, she remarked to a by-stander, ‘I never did like ‘porter,’ but I am very thirsty, and if either of those feliows would say “emonade,’ I should talk to them in a burry.”’ greta od Warsaw (Mo.) Demo- erat has ¢ following : “We strike the names of two of our sub- seribers #m our books this week, who have recently been hung in Texas, We do this be- cause We are not advised, as yet, of their present locality. We shall take pleasure in sending the Democrat to their address as soon as we hear from them.’”’
