HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
Bad laog.n, Bail Breasts, Sores atirt Ulcers.
11 description of sores are  remediatjle   hy   tho  proper
and diligent use of tii is inestimable   preparation.    To  attempt to cure bad   1cjj;s  bv   plastering   the edges  of  the
wound together is a    folly"; for should the skin   unite,  a
boggy diseased condition rem a-ins underneath to break out
itii tenfold fury in a few   days.    The  only rational and
ncf'ssful  treatment., as indicated  by   nature,   is  to re-
Lee the inflummatioi! in  and  about" the w«und and to
«the the neighboring parts by rubbing in plenty   ofthe
Ointment an salt is forced into meat.
Dlpthcria, Ulcerated Sine Tliroat, arid Scni-let
and oilier Fever*.
Any ofthe above diseases may tie cured by well rubbing
the Ointment three, times a day into the chest, throat and
Beck of the patient; it will soon penetrate,  and  give im-
ediate relief.    Medicine taken by trie   inmrli   must ope-
,te upon tbe whole system ere its   influence  can he   felt
i any local part, whereas the  Ointment will do its   work
at once.    Whoever irios the   unguent in the  above  manner for the diseases named,  or any similar  disorders  affecting tbe   chest and throat,  will  Iind  themselveds   relieved as by acharm.
Pile**, Fistulas, Strictures,
The above tjbiss of comploiiits will be relieved by nightly fomenting the parts with   warm   water,   and   then   by
most effectually rubbing in the Ointment.    Persons   siT
fering rrom these   direful   complaints   should lose  not;
moment in arresting tbeir progress.    It should bo unde
stood that it is not sullieieiu  merely to   smear the  Oiir
ment on the affected parts, but it must be  well rubbed i
fur Rome considerable time two or three times a day, that
it may be taken into the system,  whence  it  will remove
any hidden sore or wound as effectually as though palpable to the eye.    'there again   bread  aiid water  poultices
after the_rub!-ing io oi tii-.:   Ointment, will   do great   ser.
cancer in the stomach, or where there  may be a general
hearing down.
Indiscretion or Youth;--Sores nnd Ulcers.
Blotches, as also swellings, can, with certainty, he
radically cured if the Ointment bo used fieely. and the
Pills he taken night and morning as recommended in thr
printed instructions. When treated in anv oiher way
they dry Dp in cue place to break out iu another; where
as tbis Ointment will remove the humor from the sys
tern, and leave the patient a vigorous and healthv being.
It will require time with the use of tho 1'ills to insure a
lasting cure.
Dropsical Swellings, Paralysis and S( llT.Tolntt,
Although the above complaints ililTer widely in theii
oripin and nature, yet they all require local treatment
Many of the worst cases, of such diseases, will yield in t
comparatively short space of lime when this Ointment \,
diligently rubbed into the parts alloc ted, even after even
other means have failed. In all serious maladies th'i
Pills should be taken according to the printed direction:
accompi.ying each box.
Both the   Ointment   and   Pills should be used in the fit
lowing canes:

1 know how beautiful it is
Where forest leaves aro green,
And little silver-throated birds
To music turn the scene.
With poet winds that in their joy
Make every bough a lyre.
Whose harmony is sweeter far
Than Art's diviue:-t wire.
0, what an ecstacy is his
Who hears that oiuslo roll,
If a true love of nature makes
An altar of his soul,
From which perpetual incense soars
In praise and prayer above
To him who sits the Father-Lord
Of wisdom, Light, and Love!
But, mighty woods! it's only when
Your robes are on, that ye
Can to the true, religious heart
Give glorious ministry ?
For it, must birds for ever sing?
And winds weave delicate tunes
Beneath the proud unclouded suns
And azure tinted moons?
No, mighty woods ! though bare yo wave,
Though all your crowns are lost,
And round ye, like o'er tortured souls,
The writhing clouds are tost—
Yet still ye have a ministry,
And still ye shake the heart,
With feelings beautiful and grand
Beyond the touch of art.
What lessons in your leafless boughs !
Though bare, thy wrestling still
With al! the stern, unpitying storms,
Nor sink beneath the ill ;
So when misfortune strikes the soul,
If truth and courage reign,
He nobly takes each iron blow,
And smiles at all the pain.
Yes, Winter woods! 'tis yours to roll
Grand music for us still,
If a true love of nature makes
An altar of the will,
From whenoe perpetual incense soars
Iu praise and prayer above,
To him who sits the Father-Lord

Heathen Mythology.
For the benefit of our lady readers, we collect
and publish the affinities of the Heathen Gods, so
often referred to in the mythology cf the an-
cientB:
Juno was the daughter ofSalurn and Ops. Ceres
presided over peach orchards aod other garden
sass. Mars was the god cf war. Pan protected
those rural citizens engaged in tending sheep.
Venus attended lo all-airs of love, and regulated
the motions of amatory youths. Jupiter was god
of*' "lhe Celestial Regions Apollo was a prophet,
a pretty man, aud consequently had the Nine
Muses, who were females, running aittr him. He
owned two servilures humble, named Triphod
and Lyre ; the latter is supposed to be the person
that invented lies, a commodity now extensively
used. Vulcan waa a master of a blacksmith shop,
and had a partiality for lire. Mercury was Lhe
avant covrrier ol the gods, and presiding genius
ofthe thieving fraternity. He used to go around
in company with Iris, the daughter of Thomas,
who was his better half. Diana had a great love
for Leasts and trees. Neptune ruled the ocean,
though it is not intimated that he had the control
ef anv venr larae tpibpIj ■ •> Pap iJ*»**l« .,-».. -u
that be could order to do his bidding. Hercules
was a teal buiaer ofthe Thom Hyer order ; nothing delighted him more than a forcible, elective,
aud well planted blow. Cupid always maitiiued
a great interest in aflairs of fhe heart, and wus
supreme ruler of the human gizzard. Hebe •
some pumpkins as a waiter, and tended table for
tbe divinities with marked approval. Bacchus
was tbe god of rum, and frequently had the delirium tremendous. Proteus was a fortune teller,
and could see as far into a millstone as the man
lhat packed it; he was a very changeable fellow,
hence the word protean. Pluto was a native ofa
tropical clime, and consequently had a penchant
for warm things and hell fire, llygera was a
protectoicss of health, and a very hind hearted
female. Mr. Joe Segar named the hotel at Old
Point Comfort after ber, Plutus used to "spend
his money free," (see songs of E'hiopian serena-
devs.) and was a "broth of a boy" on a midnight
carnival or a '■general bust." Olympus used to
tend a light house, and look after lhe hours.
Flora was I he mistress of a (lower garden—boquels
used to sell very high in her time. The Dryads
and Nymphs were generally utility folks, who
haunted around shady places, and did little chores
for a consideration. They bave had plenty of
imitators. Satyr was a rare old fellow, objected
to a man blowing hot and cold with the same
breath, and left a numerous progeny who cau do
the same thing ; he was always ready to go it,
but belonged to a short horned breed. The
Fairies were given to promiscuous dancing ; they
were always iu for a frolic on the lawn, and had
uo objection to a "cotton factory ball"—tickets
oue dollar and a fight in the prospective.—Petersburg {Va.) Express.
 «-*-•	
Marrtbd vs. Buried.—A clergyman who had, in
the lottery of matrimony, drawn a share that
proved worse than a blank, was just experiencing
a severe scolding from his Xantippe, wheu be was
called upon to unite a pair in the blessed slate of
wedlock. The poor parson, actuated by his own
feelings and experience, rather than by a sense of
his canonical duties, opened the book and began—
"Mau that is born of a woman hath but a short
time to live, and is full of trouble," &c. repeat-
inn a part of the burial service. The astonit-hed
bridegroom exclaimed—"Sir, sir. you mistake!—
I came down here to be married not buried.'"
" Will," Lj-iitd Hie victgjumu, -it you insist on
it. I am obliged to marry you; but, believe me,
friend,you had better be buried."'
Anrcdotc of Washington Irving.
(I'r.iiu tha H, v. Conrtw wd Bnqutrer.*]
We dined nl General Webb's, at his clmrming
"Pokahoe," in honor ol Dr. -Vainright. lately chosen to be Provisional UUhop of New Y/ork.
The cotnpsny OOneiatfflJ of Bishop Doane, Dr.
Waiuwriglu, Br. Creigliton, Dr. Vinton, and Mr.
Southard of the clergy ; wilh Mr. Charles King
and Mr. Washington living. These guests, enlivened by lhe happy occasion of their gath"iiug,
enjoyed the day prodigiously. Mr. Irving was silent lor a long time, yet he seemed interested in
the conversation, till, gradually, his eye lighted
and his face beamed, and he ventured to drop a
word, here and there, sometimes spontaneously, iu
repartee, but chiefly in monosyllabic response.
The company evidently respected his accustom
ed taciturnity with strangers, especially as Our
host had hinted to us that Air. Irving reluctantly
allowed himself to h-,: drawn from his seclusion to
participate in a " clerical dinner party." Dinner
parties he abhorred ; and clerical dinner parties
he conceived to be the most dull, precise and formal of  social ceremonies.
To .Mr. Charles King we were indebted for brings
ing Mr. Irvta-g <■■'", and keeping him awake, and
cheating hiin of hia aecuslomed nap. He addressed Mr. Irving as Major, recounting the scnes ol
bis young mauhood when he was aid-de-camp to
Gov. Tompkins iu the last war. Mr, Irving enjoyed the reminiscence to such a degree that his reserve was entirely dissipated, and he volnnleered
an anecdote ofhis military service ou Fort Greene
and of tiie mishap of the Governor in being upset
from bis horse into the ditch of the fort, whicli he
told with inimitable humor and wilh a relish, characteristic of Dicdrich Knickerbocker.
The ice was fairly broken. The connection of
Mr. Irving and the soldier was itself a ludicrous
juxta-position, aud he himself made the most fun
ol it.
Our hest, first playfully and tben seriously endeavored to persuade him to apply for his " land
warrant," to which his services entitled him by act
of Congress. We severally promised to do the
writing if he wouJd sign the application. ' And

feed tne poor, or provide a chancel window, or
eveu tsaid one) to build a new church for Tarry-
town.
Mr. Irving was greatly amused by the persuasions ot the company, parrying the arguments one
after another, with «y t-kill and evident delight.
He hit the clergy with a gentle sarcasm at their
disinterested lsbb, and intimated tbat their zeal for
a new church or a chancel window was having "a
sinsle eye for the public good." And he bantered
Mr. King and our host upon tlie ai'VoLition of military esprit du corps. When the time cutce lor
parting, Mr. Irving invited us to call upon him at
"Sonnyaide,-" and whispered to our host, "when

The Memphis Daily Avalanche says:—In the
matter of admitting new States into the Uuicn,
as, indeed, all other matters, the Qnincy Herald
remarks, the Democratic party has done all that
ever has been done for this country. Under tho
administration of Washington the Democracy admitted three States—two new slave States and ono
free State—into the Union. These were Vermont
in 1794, Tennessee iu Willi, and Kentucky in 1798.
The Democratic Administration of Thomas Jefferson received Ohio into the Union in 1802, and
purchased Louisiana of France in 1801. The acquisition of Louisiana gave us territory enough
lor more states than were iu our original Confederacy, and what was t-carsely less valuable, gave
us control of the Mississippi river, whose month
wits previously owned by France and Spain. Under -fames Madison's Democratic administration,
the Stale of Louisiana was admitted into the Union in 1812, and Indiana in lSlfi.
During the Presidency ot James Monroe, a
Demooratio Congress admitted Mississippi into
the Union in 1817, Illinois in 1818, Alabama in
1818. .Maine in 1820. and purchased of Spain tho
Territory of Florida in 1821, The Demociatic
administration of Andrew Jacksou admitted into
Ihe Uuion Michigan and Arkansas in 1836. During the Presidency of James K. Polk, Texas was
acquired iu ISlo, the States of Iowa and Florida
admitted in 1815, Wisconsin in IS Hi, aud tbe Territories of California, Utah and New Mexico
purchased. The State of California was admitted
in 1850, while Fillmore, accidentally, occupied
the Presidential chair, but a Democratic Congress
did tho work of admission. Under the Democratic Presidency of Gen. Pierce, the territory of
Arizona was purchased ; aud under James "Buchanan, onr Chief Executive at this time, Minnesota came into the Union in 1858, and Oregon in
1859.
A soldier once ventured, in tho presence of tbo
whole army, to present with an air of complaint,
to Charles XII.. of Sweeden, apiece of bread that
was black and mouldy, made of barley aud oats,
which was the ouly tood they then had, and of
which they had not eveu a sufficiency. The king
received the bread, and without tbe least emotion,
ate every morsal of it; then coolly said to the
soldier, "it is not good—but it may be eaten."
Oo a certain occasion, when Charles II. was dining In state, he made Grammot remark that he
was eerved upon the knee, a token of respect uot
common at other courtB, "I thank your Majesty
for the explanation," answered Grammot; "1
thought they were begging pardon for so bad a
dinner."
Dr. Johnson told Mrs. Piozzi, that he "hufied"
hia wife so often about the dinner not being well
prepared, that at last she called to him when about
to say grace, with—"Ney, Mr. Johnson, do not
make a farce of thanking God for a dinner which
in a few moments you will pronounce not eatable."
The first dumbwaiter was a Frenchman. "Louis
XV. of France, invented a round table, the center
of whicb decended by machinery to a lower floor,
bo that supper might be served and removed without the presence of servants."
Jn La Mancha, Spain, a dish of eggs and bacon
fried in honey, is call the "Grace of God."
The next day wo called on Mr. Irving at Sunny-
side. It was the day of Mr. Webster's funeral at
MftTShfleid. It was one of the glorious days of
October, wheu the mists ol Tappan Zee lluug a
veil over the charms of the Rockland Hills, obscuring the landscape of the Highlands in that half
light whicli Doughty kuew so well how to paint.
The sun was warm and genial aud the air balmy,
insomuch that we adjourned Irom the parlor tothe
porch. The conversation turned on Mr. Webster,
his life, his labors, his successes, and disappointments ; his death, and the Iobs to bis mourning
country. Thence it changed to Mr. Webster's com-
peers, and ihe era of the Beoubtifl when thev livo.l
miu to a comparison witii the preceding epochs,
and thence to prognostications and politics in
general.
Just then, my eye was attracted to an apple tree
loaded with a precious freight ot bright red apples,
to which 1 quietly walked, unperceived, as I supposed. I picked an apple irom the ground ; it was
very good. I tried another ; it was somewhat decayed. I then threw some of them at the sound,
bright apples in the iree.
While thus busied, I heard a tenor voice crying
out: " Au old man once saw a rude boy stealing
apples, aud he ordered him tu come duwu."
Looking round, I saw Mr. Irving eoming towards me, to whom I replied: 'But the young
saucebox told him decidedly that he would uot."
Mr. Irving rejoined "then the old mau pelted
him with grass."
I replied, "At which, fhe young saucebox
laughed; whereupon the old man begautopelt
him. saying, I will see what virtue there is in
stoues."
" Aii! you've read it, you've r^ad if," exclaimed Mr. Irving, clapping his hands in great glee,
and fairly running, in a dog trot, to my t-ide.
"I hope my guests wili excuse me," he said,
but I could not refrain Irom comiug to you."
■' Yet they were conversing on very grave and
interesting topics," said 1, "and I wonder you
could break away eo easily to detect a young
saucebox stealing your apples."
"Well, I must tell you how it happened," he
replied. " To be sine the topics are grave and
patriotic, and all that, yet when I see you eating
my apples from this grand old tree, and trying to
knock some down with the rotten apples spread
about here, it brought to my mind a circumstance
which happened to uie, on this very spot, some fifteen years ago. I had lately come from Spain,
and was building yonder nondescript cottage, half
Moorish aud half.English—an olla podiida sort
of tiling—about which 1 wtis excessively interested, considering my woik as patriotic and as grave
a mailer as ihe conversation down there. I was
watching tbe workmen, directing this one and
that oue, lest the idea of my fancy might not be
realized, when in luruing, my eye caught this apple tree loaded with Its fruit, (just as your eye
did.) It was a day like this, one of our October
days—our Highland October days—such as one
light:- upon nowhere else in the world. Aud this
anole tree bore that s„»r,.^ it -Wo »a* 1.0— .--.j
year, yet just like this. Well, 1 lelt my workmen
and my talk, (just as you did.) and ate one of
these wind falls, (just as you did.) and liked it.
(just as you did,) aud then I tried to knock some
down, (just as you did.) Now while I was enjoying these fine apples, (it was for the lirst time.)
"Just as I am now," I interposed. "Yes, yes,"
be continued. " A little urchin—such as infest
houses in building—a ragged little urchin, oot at
the knees and out at (he elbows—came up to me
and said, soto voce, "Mister> do you love apples?'
"Aye. that I do,' said 1. 'Well, come with me,
and I'll show you some belter than them are '—
'Aye,'said I,'where are they?' 'Just over the
hill, there,' said lie. 'Well, show me," said I.
'Come along,' said the little thief, 'but doift lit
the old man see us. So I went with him and
stofe my own apples.

Machiavel.—-This is a name often referred to
in political writing, by classing this net as Mach-
iave'.ism, or that man as Maehiavelian; yet the
origin of it is not generally understood—wherefore, wc copy the following from the works of
Rev. James Barclay, as explanatory thereof:
NIcolo Maohiavelli, the celebrated statesman,
political writer, and historian of Florence in tho
lli tii ceulury. He received a careful education,
and catered the oflice ot tho Cliaucellor of tho
State, as sccietary. He was advanced to a subordinate chancellorship after some years, and
was next made secretary to tlte Council of Ten,
who managed the foreign aflairs. During tho
period in whicli he held this oflice, he discharged
many important ambassies lo tbe Emperor Maximilian, to France, to Home on the death of Alexander VI, to various of the lesser States of Italy,
aud iu particular to Cie-ar Borgia, when some
connection between him and Florence was attempted. The return ofthe Medici brought with
it his downfall ; and on the plea ol conspiracy, he
was arrested, tortured, and imprisoned. Released
at length, hu retired to the country, and devoted
himself to literature, in the hope of winning some
favor aud some occupation from hia triumphant
enemies, in whicli, after many years ho was successful. This introduced him again to public
life, and ho fuund a good friend aud patron iu
Clement VII.
He was employed again in embassies, but the
overthrow of Medici again ruined his circumstances ; and partly from the intense chagrin ho experienced at this reverse, he died in 1827, aged
50 years, in the deepest poverty.
Of his diplomatic skill there can be no doubt;
and though ueed made hrm anon** norviri, wl*<*r-
ever ollered. and his consciousness of skill impelled him to seek any occasion oi displaying it, ho
was at heart a republican. His Florentine History is his greatest work, aud his commentaries on
Livy show his scholarship and taste. His smaller
productions were numerous and soma of them
were poetical. His letters ara greatly admired.
But tbe work which has made most noise, and converted his name into a proverb of no favorable
kind, is his Priuce, in which is taught the whole
art of tyranny, especially as adupied to men who
regard the violatiou of word aud oath as a matter
of no moment, if some advantage be secured by
it, Thia systematic inculcation of public falsehood has been paiiated by various excuses, derived
from the morality of the times, and from liis desire
for employ uuder the Medici ; but no defense han
yet been attempted which can set aside the verdict
pronounced upon it, by the making Ins name tho
designation of a system of political craft and
falsehood, which has been handed down to our
days from those which immediately succeed his
own.
No Di vouch.—tn South Carolina there is no divorce after marriage; wed for life must be tho
fact in law when an instance of divorce haa never
been known there! It has been authoritatively
settled tliat no judicul tribunal in the Elate has
authority to declare a decree of divorce for any
cause wnalcver. If the power exist* at all, it is
the Legislature, which has hitherto never
thought proper to exercise the power. Further,
it has been determined by tlie courts of South Carolina, that a marriage solemnized Ifl that State is
indissoluble by the sentence of any court in a sister State, so as lo all'eet the rights or condition of
the parties in South Carolina. It will be seen,
then, that it ia much easier to tie the knot than to
undo it. With rare exceptions, the ceremony of
marriage is performed by a clergyman; but the
'tidissolubility of the mairiage contiaol is not only
part ol ihe law, but it ia the fixed and habitual
seiuiment of the comrauuity on the subject of divorce.

Painting on porcelain seems to be quite thorago
at present to Paris. It is the pastime of all fashionable youug ladies. The aet of porcelain is
purchased and then painted according to the fancy of the purchaser, with paints prepared for the
purpose. Then it is sent lo the porcelain baker
ho bakes it three times, which so fixes lhe colors
that they become permanent, and will \u:-.l an long
as ihe China. Of course, the baker must thoroughly understand liis business, aB the process of
baking is apt, if not properly attended to, to
crack the China. Not long since a baker fell
asleep and broke |8,000 worth of porcelain, for
which he waa obliged lo make restitution.
