A TIME AND SEASON FOR ALL THINGS.
ANI) now is the time to purify the blood, and brace the
physical systein so as to be able to bear up against the
oppressive heats of the coming summer., The impure state
of the blood at the close of winter, owing to inactive per
spiration during the cold season of the year, and from va
rious other causes, is not in a proper condition to resist
disease. Neither ure the digestive powers which are over
taxed by the appetite in the cold season, in their full strength
and vigor. And to meet a new climate a change in the
animal system is as much needed as a change of clothing.
Now, therefore, all ye, both great and small, high and
low, rich and poor, hond and free, black and white, spend
not your money for that which will do you no good, but
come to my store at No, 142 Westininster street, corner of
Eddy, and buy the article that will purify the fluids of the
body and neutralize in the blood the active principle of
disease, and strengthen the digestive powers, and regulate
the appetite, and entirely remove the dull, stupid and
drowsy feclings; in short, it will reinforce the whole gys
tem, and enable it to bear up against the enervating heats
of the coming summer.
And now I sappose you want to know what it is that
will do al this—it flmo COMPOUND SYRUP OF DOCK
ROOT, DANDELION, and SARSAPARILLA prepared
by myself, at No. 142 Westminster street, Please just look
inat my window and see the bottles standing there, and
read the certificates, and then I am almost sure yon will
come in and buy a bottle. New cnses reported almost
every day, of the good effects and enres that has been per
formed by the use of the above medicine,

THE GREAT SCOURGE OF HUMANITY,
A SCOURGE more awfnl and more terrible than the
eruptionsof a Voleano—more devastingthan the throes
of an Earthquake—the great scourge of the Cholera is at
this moment advaneing towards us with silent but indom
itable rapidity, if we may believe the intelligence received
almost Jnily from different parts of Europe. We have
overy reason to helieve that it will reach this continent

There is a Sarsapariila for sale in the differont town

ferinents—this is false ng we have kth it through the
whole year in New Orleans, Texas, Mexico, and South
Amaricanand the \West Indies,—in fact, the older it growe
the better it hecomes, We made a few bottles by mistake
last #pring that nl‘mned. T'his we regretted and exchanged
as soon as possible ; such an accident will never oecur
agring, Thls they attempt to make a great story of, and =ay
hiat the whaole of our Sarsaparilla sours, &e., when they
are aware that they are publishing falseliocds,

The great beauty and superiority of this Sarsaparilla ov
er all other medieines is, that whrlo it eradicates the dis

Ever known ; it not only purifies the whole system, and
strengthens the person, but creates new, pure and rich blood :
a power possessed by no other medicine. And in this lies
the urnm‘ secret of its wonderful success, It has perform
ed within the last five years, more than 100,000 eures of
sovere cases of disease ; at least 15,000 were considered ine
curable. It has saved thelives of morethan 5,000 children
during the two past seasons.
10,000 cases of Gene 'al Debility and wantjof
Nervous Energy.
Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla invigorates the whole sys
tem permanently, Tothose who have lost their muscular
encrgy by the etfects of medicine or indisecetion cowmnit
ted in youth, or the gxcessive indulgence of the passions,
and brought on a general pliysical prostration of the ner
vous system, lassitude, want of ambition, fainting sensa
tions, premature decay and decline, hastening towards
that ftul disonse, Conswinption, can be entirely restorad
by thispleasant remedy. “This Sarsaparilla is far superior

' INVIGORATING CORDIAL,
As itrencws and invigorates the systemn, gives activity
to the limbs, and strength to the muscular system, in a

has been the means, throngh Providence, of saving my life,
I have for seveinl years had a bad Cough, It became

To Mothers and Marvied Ladies,
This Extract of Sarsaparilla bas been expressly prepar
ed in reference to female complaints, No femalo who has
reason to suppose she is approaching that eritical period. -
& The turn of Life,”? should neglect to take it, as it is u cer
tain preventive for any of the numerous nm‘ horrible dis
eases to which females are subject at thistime of life,—
'his period may be delayed fuor several years by using this med
ieine, Nor is it less valuab'e for those who are approach
ing womanhood, a<it is caleulated to assist nature, hy
quickening the blood and invigorating the system. Indced,
this medicine is invaluable for all the delicate diseases to
which women are subjoud. 2
It hraces the wholo system, renews permanently the nat
ural energies, by removing theimpuritiesof the body, not
go far stimulating as to produce gubsequent relaxation,
which is the ease of most medicines taken for female
weoeakness and disease. By using u few bottles of this med
icine, many severe and painful surgical cperations may be
prevented.
Grent nleumr to Mothers and Children,
is the safest and most etfectual medicine for purilying
the system, and relieving the sufferings attendant upon
child-birth ever discovered. [t strengthens both the mo
ther and child, prevents pain and disease, increases and
enriches the rum‘, those who have used it think it is in
dispensable, Itis highly useful both before and after con
finement, ag it prevents diseases attendantwpon child
birth—in Costiveness, Piles, Cruunps, Swelling of the Feet
Desghndencey, Heartburn, Vomiting, Pam in the Back and
Loina, False f‘ninn. Hemorrhage, und in regulating the <e
eretions and equalizing the cireniation it hus no egnal,—
The great beauty of this medicine oo it is always «ate, and
the most delicate use it most successfully, very few cases
require any other medicine, in some a little Castor Oily or
Magnesin, is useful. Exercize in the open nir, and light
hxwllh this medicine, will always ensure a =afe and
easy confinement.

{9 The following letter on the imporiant sub
jeet of Evening Schools, froim the fortheoning re
port of our late School Commissioncrs, deserves
an attentive pernsal.
Provingxce, Jan, 22, 1510,
Hon. Hesry Danvann:
Dear Sir—l very cheerfully eomply with yoar
request to furnish you with some account of the
evening school eonnected with the ministry at
large in this city, together with such information
of similar institutions elsewhere, as is at pre-ent
in m|y possession.
This school was begun seven years ago, by he
voluntary efforts of tfic teachers in our Sunday
School. Itis, I believe, with one exception, the
oldest institution of the kind in New England. It
was opened to meet a class of wants then existing,
and every year since inereasing, that were not
supplied by the day schools. It was found that a
very large number of elaldren and youth of both
eexes, did not attend the Publiec Schools—same,
because they were destitute of decent clothing ;
others, beeause their parents were too poorto dis
pense with the income derived from their libor;
and others, becanse they were unwilling to betiay
their deficiencies helore pupils farther advanced,
thoulh younger, than themselves,
Besides the many between the ages of six and
twelve vears embraced in this ensmeration, there
were lurge nubers of boys and girls, of fifteen
and sixteen years, who had not yet mastered the
lessons of the spelling book, and who could with
ditlicnlty read words of three letters. These
would gladly atiend an evening school, whose pu
pils were alike deficient, when they could not be
persnaded to enter a publie school, where they
must rank with the prunary division, and stand in
class with the smallest children These. with other
causes, were aceinmnlating an alarming amountof
Juvenile ignornuce, to ripen, in a few years, into
adult vice,
Such were the cirenmstances under which this
school was established. It has been continned to
this day a voluntary imstitution, free to all, and
deriving its support from friends who have appre.
ciated its design. In the beginning, it was an ex
periment, and wore this the appropriate place, it
would be interesting to open its early history. Tts
perplexities, trials and ditficulties, arising from the
criudencss and waywardness of spirit of its first
pupils, combined with a fund of amusing incidents,
would turnish a graphie chapter of school experi
ence. But time, paticnce, firmness and fi-#«:hly
overcame them all. T'he experimenthas been en
tirely successinl—the graufying reward of’ those
ladies and gentlemen who bave volunteered their
labors in this department of philanthropy.
A general rule of the school is, to retuse admis
sion to children who do, or from enreful examina
tion we believe can, attend the pllblm schools.
Our purpose is to cobperate with the publhic schoo!
system, by receiving such, only, as for reasois al
ready assigned, are ent off' from the privileges of
these excellent institutions,
Our school is kept abont five months in each
year, commencing in November., 1t has at pre
sent twenty-onn teachers, iucluding the general
superiniendent and two assistants i the writing
depariment, For the last and present terms, a
registration bas been made of the names, parent
age, nativity, residence, ages and employments of
the pupils, with such other facts as may be useful
for future reference. For want of complete liste
of eacli year, I um unable to state the whole num
ber who have received instruction. 1 think. how
ever, that live hundred different pupils is not an
over statement. Many of these begun with the
study of the ulphabet. ~ Some have continuned with
us two, three and four years, nnd several have re
ceived their entire c.-J’ucu!mu at this institntion
It is impossible to estimate the good that Las thus
beendone. ‘Theredemption of evena single mind
from ignorance, is ypt to be valued by any rule of
arithmetie,
The nuber of pupils on our register the pre
sent term is one hundred and eleven—fiity-seven
males and fifty-four femnles. These were ullvol
untary applicants, About sixty applieations have

To Lonisville, Ky, so far as I know, belongs

For twelve years past, an evening school has

In 1546, an evening school was opened in Bose

assisted by seventeen teachers, whose services are

age. Twenty tiree pupils were adults. Most of
the pupils work in the mills. This school has
been very siuccessful.
D the winter of 187, an evening school was

It is opened by reading the seripture: and a short
devotional exercise. At recoss and at other intep

It may be sailicient to say, that these schools have
unformly sati-fied the expectations of their friends.
They have et wants, that under existing circnme
stances conld not have beeu et by other means.
I any one has accomplished less than its fouuders
hoped, it has been owing to insatiicient pecuniary
resvurces, and uot to a Jdelective plan. Of theie
ntliny, mo one who has watched their operations,

of a sctiled system of education, the future alone
can determine. That they will be necessary in
cities and manufieturing towns for nuany years to

been effected in social economy as will not proba
