__X less, appetite poor, digestion b*ftd, and PAINS
IN TIIE BODY, BACK AND HEAD? Reader,
much of this is caused from COLD, caught driwlt-
ly, or, in seven cases out of ten, SLUGGISHNESS OF THE LIVER AND BLOOD, and want
ofNATURAL PEBSPIRATION, indiscretion in
the use of FOOD AND DRINK, or from a dryness
n the atmosphere—wliich is a very unhealthy
part of this climate—many ofthe AWFUL, VIOLENT AND SUDDEN DEATHS thafoccur here
must be attributed to this. Now, reader, I have
made tins mv study for many years, and I do assure you that mv OR. WEBBER'S INVIGORATING CORDIAL will cure these causes—it will
nsure animation of the LIVER, BLOOD AND
BRAINS—it strengthens the nerves, and gives
to the sufferer a lightness of spirits, a mental and
bodily feeling of strength that is delightful. The
many respectable persons who have been benefited by and certified to its extraordinary qualities
in curing any of the following diseases, must satisfy all but the self-wise and ignorant skentic—

other causes ; in case of excitement from constant
intemperance, and where delirium tremens has
occurred, I have seen it change the sufferer, iu
half an hour from the most horrible state to calmness and placidity. It can, indeed, be couBCien-
ciousiy recommended to all suffering, and the proprietor regrets deeply that it is necessary thus to
advertise it, in order that its merits may be known.

where a permanent relief of their BuQ'eiSngfl may be
obtained, feels it Ills duty to thus publicly express
his sincere gratitude to Pr. L. J. C/apkny, for the
permanent recovery of his health. liorne down by
lhe distressing bvmpto.-ns incident to the *iCious
practice of uncontrollable pa.ssion in youlh. depressed in
body and mind, unable to perform even the most trifling
duty imposed upon the daily avocations of life, I sought
the advice of many physicians, who at first regarded my
disease as ot trilling importance—but alas] after a few
weeks, and in several instances months, of their treatment, I round to my unutterable horror that, instead of
relief, the symptoms became mure alarming in their torture ; and, being told hy one that; my disease, being confined principally io ilu; brain, medicine would be of little
consequence, I despaired of ever regaining my health,
strength and energy ; and, as a last, resort, and with but
rt faint hope, called upon Dr. C/.apkay, who, after examining my case, prescribed some medicine which almost
instantly relieved me ofthe dull pain and dizziness iu
head. Eneouraped by tins result, 1 resolved to place
.self immedia (ely under his care, Lind by a strict obedience
to his directions and advice, my .head became clear,
ideas culled ed, tlio const a nt. p;tin in my back and gro
the weakness of my limtis, the nervous reaction of my
whole bodj on the slightest alarm or excitement, tl
misanthropy and evil forebodings, the self-distrust ai

and'Want ot resolution, the frightful, exciting, and at
times plensurable dreams at night lollowed by invo'
tary discbarges, Iilivo ;;ll disappeared ; and in fact, in
months after having consulted ilie Doctor, I felt lis i:
spired with a new life—that life whieh, but a short time
ago, I tfoi-iten.plated to cud by -ny own hand.
With tt view to guard the unfortunate from falling :
the snares of incompetent quacks, .[ deem it. my duty to

I, the under signed, hav in.:.' been under the treatment ol
Dr. L. J. C/apkay, although unsolicited, feel called upon
to give publicity to the efficacy of bis treatment, hoping
that by so doing, I may be instrumental in preventing
others from the fearful suffering and misery which I ex
perienced, and which so often result from fhe perniclou
practice ol' pretenders. My disease has been that of pliy
sical and inenhrl debility, whieh follows in consequenceo
the inliseretrtm in youth. The agonies which I endured
are, perhaps, unnecessary for me to tletLiil ; they,
known to those who have experienced them. Sullice it to
say, that haying called the services of Dr. J,. J. Cv.apkay
into requisition, all my expectations which I may have
formed ■•( liim were more than realized. I would, there
fore, recommend Dr. CV.apkay to itli who may lind themselves Li.Jllict.cd with that dreadful malady, my object Ir
doing so being sympathy for snll'eriug humanity, aud :i

excretions, purging the blood by the bowels, liver,
kidneys, and sliin.
MARSHALL'S UTERINE CATH-
OLICON.
An infallible remedy for all diseases of the
womb and urinery organs, weakness in the back,

ITow little waketh sleeping love,
Be it a look or a BJ'gp,
Or e'en a scarce discovered tear
That trembles in the eye ;
A shadow on the brow, perhaps,
A sweet, low-uttered sound ;
The sighing of a leaf or flower
May cause the heart to bound.
A gentle pressure ofthe hand,
A toying, soft caress,
May wake a tide of fondest love.
A lengthened life to bless j
A quiet tear of sympathy .
Shed oYr another's woe,
May bid the sweet outgtishihg tide
From inmost fountain flow.
And so a frown may chill the heart,
A careless look or tone
May freeze the love a moment more
We'd give a life to own I
Thus trifles barely claiming thought
May win or lose aheart,
Iu lieu of which no earthly gift
Could overjoy impart.
Then trifle not, 'tis risking much,
I'm sure you'll all agree ;
A smiling face is lovlicr
Thau any frown you see ;
The utterance ofa pleasant word
A trifle seems at best,.
And yet perchance it may relieve
Some weary, aching breast.
For sympathy's a mighty power,
The eye that kindly beams,
May wake a world of sweetest joy,
A life of pleasant dreams ;
Will cause desponding gloom to fly,
And in its darkened stead
Bright hope, the goddess, angel-eyed,
Will goldeti sunlight shed.-
My Motlitr's   Song—Sweet Home.
How oft we hear those gentle words!
We hear them breathed in song,
When music bursts from happy hearts,
That still to joy belong!
When rosy beams of daylight dawo,
Or when the shadows fall,
We hear the ghuUome echoes tell
"Sweet Home" hath charms for all.
These simple words?   That plaintive air !
My mother sang the strain
In days gone past, in happy days,
That may not come again !
She sang it by the house-hearth,
Our father sitting by,
And smiles were playing on his lips,
But tear-drops Clled his eye!
" On earth there is no place like home,"
She taught my lips to say, ..
But all that made my home so dear
"Long since has passed away!"
We bear no more lier" gentle voice,
At morning or at even ;
She has an an gel's golden harp,
Her song is heard in Heaven.
I hear it sung by-ofhers now.
And o'er my soul the while
. Steal memories Badly sweet that bring
A tear-drop and a smile !
And oh 1 'tis sweet e'en now tb hear
Those thrilling murmurs fall,
"Home, sweet, sweet home!" 'tis not of earth;
Heaven hath a home for all!

IN COXTIXUATIOX.
Having, in our late rambles, made our way to
the good City of the Plains, the .Capital of the
State, it maybe expected that we should say
something of what we saw there, especially respecting the assembled wisdom of the State, how
matters are conducted there, or as some have it,
misconducted.
As to the city of Sacramento, to say that it is
progressive, or improving, is merely to say tbat
it is not behind other cities in the State—as that
is characteristic of all California towns—but Sacramento is steadily going ahead, iu spite of the
pressure of circumstances sufficient to discourage
and depress any people. She has withstood tbe
fire, rising more glorious from her ashes, and the
floods have prevailed against her, only to develop
her energies, and have raised a sure barrier
against further inundations; now she is strug-
glliig against an enormous debt, incurred for improvements ofthe most extensive and substantial
character—praying relief from the Legislature, in
ber consolidation bill, which, as it is obviously
for her advantage, will,.we hope, be granted.
We find long lines of brick buildings ; there are
magnificent hotels, costly churches, and spacious
school-houses. The streets are planked, a poor,
but costly contrivance ; however, a commence
ment has been made in macadamizing, which we
hope will soon be extended overall the thoroughfares. ' The shade trees planted along the streets
will yet prove highly useful and ornamental.
Sacramento is a pleasant place,—barring when it
rains, and then the planks float, and the unwary
p'edestrian essaying to make a crossing, finds himsell bespattered with mud. This nuisance should
be abated,—and we have no doubt soon will be.
Called on the Governor, found him hard at
work, receiving visitors—vetoing bills (the pilot
bill) directing aud correcting legislation generally. His Private Secretaiy. Wl. T. Brocklebank,
Esq., we found to-be an obliging, courteous, and
attentive gentleman—took charge of our claims
agaiust the State, engineered llicm through the
Board of Examiners, and procured for us the
grand cash—for which we again tender him our
thanks.
Here met Major Gillespie—a gentleman who is
intimately connected with the conquest of this
country ; who, when fighting was to be done, was
always in the thickest of the lray ; still bearing
on his body the marks of many a well-fought
field. He speaks highly of all Califomiaus—the
Carrillos, Itequenas, Lugos, and others of the old
families, especially his friend, Gen. Pico, whom he
encountered at San Pascual, and ever esteems for
his coolness, courage and daring in the field ; his
generosity, hospitality, and firm and true friendship in peace.. For certain Others—not Califor-
niBn8,—encountered in those troublesome times,
the Major fails not to express his contempt,
. .lartliu'u' developments would the history of those
times discover—it may yet be written, and the
pilfered nlunies plucked from the pretending
;ayS tlnjMfcverhig, the deceitful and the treacherous du!Tooted and exposed.
concentrating the esteem, respect and confidence
of his fellows—rushing through three bills in one
forenoon, the rules being suspended at hia request—no slight compliment to his judgment, prudence and discretion.
Visited the Assembly—found nancock battling
for the cow counties against the mines, but forced
to yield to the pressure—revolving some plan to
cut loose from the incubus, and to set up for ourselves—found Gen. Pico busy with military matters, translation and rodeo bills, always voting
right on every question. .'   ,
Visited Marysville, our first visit to the " great
North." Started off in a great hurry,—no great
haste in getting there, however, ten hours crawling up the river, raining all the time—charming
view of the swamp and overflowed lands—made
the riffle at last against the muddy current—found
excellent accommodations at the Haun House-
The rain poured down in torrents—kept the house
all evening—didn't see much of the town.
Next morning set put at six o'clock for Oroville—had glimpses of the country from a closely
covered wagon—a plain, covered with goodrgrass
—plenty of fine wood—made the distance, twenty-fire miles, in five hours. Oroville is a large
busy, and thriving town—little more than two
years old—broad streets,—blocks of brick buildings—spacious court house, large churches, a
good theatre, daily and tri-weeky newspapers—
extensive raining, deep shafts, yawning tunnels
fearful underground works, bluffs undermined and
the ground caving in—interesting hydraulic operations—steam engines at work on claims pumping water and hauling dirt—stupendous river
operations—the people busy, happy and contented, business lively—pleasant friends and a good
time generally—much pleased with brief visit.
Next day returned to Marysville—the rain still
pouring its "gladsome" showers, which con.
tinned during our s'ay. Accepted an invitation of G. H. Beach, Esq., and visited his gardens, four miles from Marysville, on the Sacramento stage road. We cannot pass without noticing these truly beautiful grounds, the pleasure
experienced from our visit, and the elegant hospitality of our kind host, so gracefully dispensed
by his amiable lady. There are two hundred and
eighty acres in these gardens, laid off in the most
approved style. The peach orchard is a quarter of
a mile in length ;—there are three acres of strawberries, and one of raspberries ; there are, besides,
peaches, apricots, nectarines, plums, cherries,
pears and apples,—all valuable varieties. Ia the
grape department there are fifty or sixty varieties
ol foreign grapes, embracing the Cannon Hall,
Muscat of Alexandria, Sweet Water, Verdelho,
White Nice, Frontignac, the white Chassler, the
black Hamburgh, the Isabel and red Catawba,
both of which are adapted to mountain growth, aa
they stand frost; there are 5,000 imported figs'
for sale, white, black and brown, and 30 or 40,000
young vines. Last year Wh: Beach sold twenty
bushels of cherries, twenty-five bushels of plums,
and from 3 to 5,000 bushels of other varieties of
fruit. Although the weather was most disagreeable, tne visit to Mr. Beach's will long be remembered, as one of the most pleasing features of a
pleasant excursion.
The same evening, visited, on invitation, John
C. Fall, Esq., at his mansion, about a mile from
town. Here wealth delights itself in the cultivation of all the elegancies of life—there are the
choicest plants and flowers,—the most valuable
fruits of all kinds—gardens laid off in exquisite
taste—extensive conservatories, elegant buildings
—iri fact, everything that adonis life, and renders
home a paradise. Mr. Fall is president of the
State Agricultural Society, and is busily engaged
in forwarding its interests. The annual fair of
the Society is this year to be'held at Marysville.
Mr, Beach is of the visiting committee, and will
probably visit this section of country to note our
progress and report to the Society.
Had very little time to spend in Marysville—
found the city fully equal to what we had anticipated—extensive, substantially built, abusy mart,
the depot for the supply ofa large section of the
Northern mines, supported by au immense agricultural aud grazing country. The want ofthe
city is a railroad,—this we hope she will soon
have—with it Marysville will become the greatest
inland city in the State.
Had the pleasure of meetiug an old acquaintance in tho able and much respected editor of the
Express; and of becoming familiar with the accomplished writer and gentleman " Monibar."
Left the city uext morning for Sacramento—
thence for Sau Francisco, where we found the
Senator ready for the voyage.
In due time got under weigh, and had, as usual,
a delightful trip. , Stopped at San Luis Obispo—
a party went ashore, witnessed the labor aud risk
of landing freight ou the surf-washed rocks; enjoyed the luxury of a sea-bath; all wefat.fishing
for mussles ; aii excellent lunch, in primitive
style, every oue looking out for himself—had
Btewed mussels, a*:d fried, broiled and boiled,
cooked and raw, with condiments and without—
partaken of.with forks, spoons,—or fingers, if not
smart enough to find a substitute—the amusements closing with a dog fight. The freight having beeu landed, the order to embark was given ;
we were all soon on board again, the steamer under weigh, and five or six hours before we were
expected, found our noble Senator anchored once
more in the Bay of Sau Pedro.

been wasted. According to Parton's life of Burr:
He was sitting oue eveni ng w ith Mrs. Prevost
when the approach ef a parfy of horse was heard,,
and soon after a lady, veiled and attired in a rising habit, burst into the room, and, hurrying tdp
ward Mrs. Prevost, was on the point of addressing
her. Seeing a gentleman present, wham, in the:
light of the apartment Bhe did not recognise;,-
she paused, and asked iu an anxious tone—■
■■ Am I safe?   Ts this gentleman a friend-?
■ Oh, yes," waa Mrs. Prevost's reply, " he is my
most particular friend, Col. Burr."
"Thank God!" exclaimed Mrs. Arnold, for stie*
it was; "I've been playing the hypocrite,aud I'me
tired of it."
She theu gave an account of the way she deceiv--
cd Washington, Hamilton, aud other oflicers, who,,
she said, believed her innocent of treason, and had
given her a safe escort from West Point. Sho1
made no scruple of confessing the part sho had
borne in the negotiation with the British general*'
and declared it was she who had induced her hus*--
band to do what he had done. She passed tho-
nigbt at Paramus, taking care to resume her acting of the outraged and frantic woman, whenevor'
strangers were present. Col. Burr's relation with
thePhlpps family, of which Mrs. Arnold was a-
member, had been of the most intimate character*
from childhood. They had been his father's friends,
and the orphan boy had been taken from his mother's grave to their home .in Philadelphia. Ho
stood toward this fascinating, false-hearted woman
almost in the light of a younger brother:', and he-
kept her secret until she was past being harmed1-
by the telling of it."
A Devoted Wife—A correspondent of the Boston Pos** relates the following in referring to tho-
recent accidental death of Col. Wynkoop-:'
"With his wife, who ia an invalid, he was visit--
ing *the interior of Pennsylvania for recreation
and change of scene. The country is wild there'
and sparsely settled. One morning he went out
wiih his servant to shoot game ior his wife. In
handing him the gun, the servant by accident dis--
charged it; the contents took effect iu his legr

Tkue in a Measure.—" I bave found," soy:
Addison, " that the men who are really the most
fond of ladies—who cherish for them the highest
respect—are seldom the most popular with thi
sex. Men ol great assurance, whose tongu s are
lightly hung—who make words supply the place
of ideas, and place compliment in the room of
sentiment—are the favorites. A due respect for
women leads to respectful action towards them,
and respect is mistaken by them for neglect or
want of love."
