WAYNE COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCitTY.

Fever and Ague, from which mankind suffer over a !ars;e part of the globe, ia the consequence of a diseased action in the aystem, induced by the poisonous miasm of vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolt ed by the action of solar heat'nn wet soil, and rises with the watery yapor from it. , While the sun ia below the horixon this rapor lineeTS near the earth's aurfare, and the Tints is taken with it through the lur.K into the blood. '1 here it aet as an irritatinR poison on the internal viscera and excreting organs i f the bouv. The liver becomes torpid and fails to aecrn'e not only tiiU irui, hut alo the bile from the blood. Both the virii ani the bile accumulate in the circulation. Bud produce violent contitutionsl disorder. The apleeti, the kidneys, and the stomach, sympathize with the liver, and ln-rome disordered also. Finally, the instinct cf our organism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious infusion, conctnir.tes the whole blood of the body in the internal excretories to force them to cast it out. The blond leaves the surface, end rushes to the central ersirn wiih consre-tive violence. This is the Chill. But in this effort it f.iiis. Then the Fetes follows, in whit h the blood leaves the central organs and rushes to the surface, as if in another effort to expel the irritating poison through that other prrat excretory the skin. In this also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt exhausted, wainnir for the recovery of strcrpth to repeat the hopeless elfort another day. Thee are the fits or puroxysnis of r EVEa AWD Aoir. Such cotiiiiiiti!inal disorder will of course 'xadermioe the health if it i not removed. We have labored to tin J, aud hate found, an antidote, Ayer's Ague Cure, which neutralizes this malarious poison in the bloed, and stimulates the liver to cxpt l it from the body. As it should, so it does rure this aiHicting disorder with perfect certainty. And it tioes more, or rather does what is of more service to those subject to this infection. If taken in season it expels it from the system as it i abeotbed, and thus keeps those who use it free from its) attacks ; keeps the system in health although exposed to the disease. Constquentlv it nit only cures, but protects from, the (neat variety of affections which are induced by this malignant influence, such as Kemittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout. Blindness. Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, 1'alpitations, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Hysterics, Colic, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising from this cause, will be found to assume more or less the intermittent type. 'Ihis " Aot'B Cube" removes the cause of these derangements, and cures the disease. Thia it accomplishes by stimulating the excretories to expel the virus from the system ; and these organs by degrees become habited to do this their office of their own accord. Hence arises what we term nccimatation. lime may accomplish the same end, but often life is not long enough, or is sacrificed in the attempt, while this "Aoi'E Cure " does it at once, and with safety. We have great reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer remedy fur the whole class of diseases which are caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other which has been discovered ; and it haa still another important advantage to the public, which is, that it ia cheap as well aa good. yfiXriRED BT DR.

Youth aiij beauty have many admirers while living; have many mourners when dying. M.my te.trful ones bond over their coffined clay, and many sad hearts follow in their mournful irain. Cut ae lias few adnnrers. f( w in mrners. This was an ol 1 man and a circle of mourners. Two chilJren.who themselves had passed the middle of life, and who had children of th-jirovvn to rare for, and be cared for bv them. Lt'siik-s ihie, and a few friends who had visited him while sick, and possibly had known him for a few years, there were none other to bhtsd a tear exoept his wife. And of l Ins small company, the old wife seemed the only heart -mourner. It is respectable for friends to be sad for a few moments till the service is p rt' irmd and the hearse is out of silit. It is very proper aud suitable for children who hive outgrown the fervency aud affections of youth, to shed tears when an aed jiar.n'. says farewell, and lies down to ijuie slumbers. S-m regrjts, some recollections of the past, soma transitory grief, an 1 the pans are over. Not always so. But often how little true genuine heart-sorrow there is! The old wife ro;e with diffijulty from her seat, and went to the colli i to look her last look to takf. her las', farewell. Through the fast falling tears, she gizexl long and fondly down into that 1? and unconscious face. Whom did she see there? Och rs ssw noth ing but the tigid features of the dead; she saw more. In every wriukle of that browi she read the history of years. From youth I to manhood; from manhood to old ae in ' joy and sorrow, in sickness and health ill was all thete; w ten those children, who had outgrown tin sympathies of childhood, were infants lying on her b som, and every year since then here it was! To others, those dull, mute monitors were uninintelligible, to her they were the nlphabat of the heart, familiar as househol I wirds! And the future? What will become ef me? What shall I do now? S:ie did not say so she did not say anything but she felt it. Tne prospect of the old wife is dark and ulonded. The home circle is broken, never to bi uni!ed. The visions of the hearth-stone are scattered lor-ver. Up to that hour, there was a home, to which the heart always turns with fondness.

A resolution was adopted, adhering to the policy previously announced regard ng Illinois and Wisconsin currency. Tlie branches will continue to treat the paper as uncarrent.

Slander.

Slander . , . , . is the essence ol many other Yices, raucea . ,.

He is that kind of a thief who steals for the love of stealing. Could yon crowd the work of the slanderer into one great ware-house, where at a glance you might see all. what a sceno vou would behold! Families in discord, neighbors at variance, friendships of long standiag broken; in the midst of all this moves the slanderer, smiling at the ruin he has produced. The agony of despair, the bitterness of revenge, the groans of the innocent, the breaking of hearts, the production of a hell where heaven ought to be enjoyed, is glory enongh for the most detestable wretch. The thief who robs your house or picks your pockts is a gentleman in comparison with the defamer of character. The slanderer is subtile and puts on a look of wondor. lie interludes his speech with many expressions of sorrow and regret. Hi professes (hypocrite that he is.) that he speaks from impulses of Iriendship, from regard to virtue and truth. The most detestable way of propagating slander is to surmise, to intimate that some awful thing is known, bui the backbiter will not tell what, lie is more base than the asstsiu. lis plunges the dagger to the heart which he hides behind his dark and lying insinuaiions. O, ye tattlers, why fill the world with tales of slander? Look at its effects. Churches embroiled, blighted, blasting to decay. Chief friends separated. Brothers in discord. Strife and hatred in the domestic circle, creating j jalousy which is as cruel as the grave. If you carry an ear trumpet for evil sayings, your ears will be filled. D) you ask why everybody comes to you with tales of slander? Cast away that ear trumpet, and you will cease to be the grand depot of evil reports It destroys all the fair fljwers which adorn the social scenery. It is the frost of life's summer. Ye false accusers of bleeling innocence, pause and reflect upon your work. It will not end in evil only to your neighbor; it will return upon your own head. The flame your tongue of fire shall kindle will reach your own dwelling; it will consume your social joys, and leave you an immortal living cinder, cast out from G id, and despised of mm. Yon are raising a tempest which will drive your bark a frightful wreck. You are a blot on Gjd's fair hef itage bolow a deadly wound, whose odious gangrene spreads putrid death over the living face of social happiness. Do you ever think that at the judgment you must father your own? Were I an artist and could I paint him on canvass, I would clothe him with the gossamer robe of the hypocrite. His eye should smile with a bitter look ot subtile malice. riis i cev.il oi uniuicu aicri b'i'iuiu &'tL 11 u:- . .1. r :..l ..k.l 1 llb , ... . - - . . ,T. . i i a horrible picture of death.

Preseutation. It willbj recollected that James M. Smith, Esq., has lately resigned his position as Superintendent of the Indiana Central and Davton and Western Railroad. By invitation, we witnessed last evening the presentation to Mr. S., by the employees of the Roads, of a roost superb gold watch, costing over 8300. It is one of the handsomest time keepers we have ever seen, and the princely liberality of the gift is a token of the esteem in which Mr S. is held by those lately under his charge. Inside of the watch is the following appropriate inscription ; "PrLOantAft t.-i Jimt f Rmitfi Kvr thai Ernpioyeea of ,Ue I. C. Sc D. & W.

As the rain commenced a party of emigrants stopped at the point named—the women and children taking shelter in a house hard by, and the men under trees. An old gentleman, some sixty years old, put himself under an elm tree, scarcely had he done so when a flash of lightning struck the tope of his shelter, glancing off, and then struck the old man at the foot of the tree, striking him on the back of his neck, running down the middle of his back, dividing at the hips, forc- ing its passage down his legs, and tearing the boots from his feet, and throwing one of them some thirty feet from him!

Ei-enatsr Rltett a TTailoai 4 Hon. R. B. Rbett, formsrlf D)mocrvi.s Senator ia Congress from South Carolina, delivered an oration at GrabamvilU. in tht , State, on the 4th. What he thinks of wiia ; and disunion, of tha rclativs position of R- , pab'ican ani Democrats on that question, and of the Slavery agitation in general, will j be seen in the following extracts wHch we take from his speech as reported ia the Charleston News: i '-When in the Senate of ths United S'ltes. j I deemed it expedient, plainly and frankly. t advocate a dissolution of this Union, an 1 t!.j j establishment of a Siuthern Conftderacy, I , was not so ignorant of human affairs as not : to know that my opinion was exceedingly adverse to the greater part of the people of j the United States, and to none mora so than ; to the political abolitionists, tha Sewards. t'-o ; Hales, and the Sumuers of tha North. For ,this Union was absolutely necessary to their carrying out their policy the subiuga i vi f , the South. Thrt are, therefore, union mm ? ail haziard. You have made them union 'men; for, with nothing in the North to support their pretensions, they are the last peapie to desire a dissolution of the Union." i "After the compromise of 1852, what wns , tha result? Have you had the. peace and , quietness, the peace and safety which was" ( told you that compromise would bring you? j Why. ever since the foundation of thw g-v-,ernment, has it ever been so fierce as within :the last few Years? The present Presi lent .of the United States is a practical exponent .of public opinion. Personally, he is my i friend. In the controversy of 1S52. he WM'ti j a letter to a meeting in Philadelphia. In th it he says: 'The agitation at the North on the subject of domestic slavery will have its d a v. ; We have already reached or passed 'the rrisis. Should this prove to be the case, ' co in try will be the better for the agitation, smi the atmosphere be purer. That was in IS52. But how is it now? Mr. Buchanan was elected President of ti e ; United Stat. . and before the first Congress ; met, his administration was prostrated mi J this very subject of slavery. Then was got ; up the Kansas compromise, the most discreditable and most disgraceful that was evtr j brought up on a public occasion." j So much for the notorious English bid Mr Rhett further said: j My friends, prognostics of a Union ia j the South ar not without encouragement. i There are premonitions of a moral as well as ; physical remedy. Did you hear the mutteiings of the tempest coming ou the eve of j the Presidential election? It is true heretoi fore our policy has been submission. In that j policy, we have lifted up some of the i... ,t ; bitter enemies of the North. It has been i i j vain that such men as a Dickinson ami an j Everett have told them you will dissolve this Union. Are you willing to be ruled by such men as the Wilsons, the Chases, aud the Sumners of the North? s "Let us make up our minds. The North becomes sectionalizsd; we will gectionillzs for our own defence. We hare done this. If we do not sectionaliza for our defence, the result is we may be overwhelmed. Throughout the continent of the Southern States, we see the people of the South onitiog tin,;. forces. The Whig party are taking the position for the rights of the fSouth, and tha D emocrat party dare not tall. "If, in the Presidential election, our right are victorious, then we have a guarantee and an augury of a batter future; if, on tha contrary, which I think most certain to be the case, then, my friends. let us separate f.on the North; let the glorious daw-spring of a Southern Confederacy at length arise itpun our troubled counsels." The mail roata from Isdianapolis fo Bloomington, via Waverly, Brooklyn, Centerton, Martinsville and other places, has been discontinued. Cause: the inability of the Post Office department to pay the contractor. This stopping of mail routs is a common thing all over the country. When the people go to vote, let them remember that the Administration of Mr. Buchanan cau piid millions ot dollars to spread slavery and ward political favorifies, hut refuses to f reover a few hundreds to aAeommnrla'a tl people with mail conveyance. Marti m cille Gazette. J&ai? The Hamilton, C. W., Times says an extraordinary circumstance took place on the farm of Mr John Wilson of Osliawa, on Tuesday morning tha 28th alt., a mare owned by him giving birth to three healthy foals. Strange to say, the mother took flight at tho singular predicament in which she found herself placed, and ran off and left her offspring. After a little persuasion, howcr?r, ! she consented to one of them and gave it food, but would have nothing to do with the other two, one of which she kicked so as to canse its death. The other forsaken one has reen carefully nursed by hsnd and Is do.cg well.
