combines tin- improvements made by the medical faculty,
with discoveries of his own that are unknown to any one

THIS INSTITUTION, (Incorporated by the
Legislature ol  the State ol New York, capital
SIDO 000,) was; lonmicd for tlio purpose of supply-
iito; the public with tlio celelnated GRAEFEN*
liMRG MEDICINES. The series coinprisefe retoe-
dies for newly every disease adopted to every
climate. For Families. Travelers. Seamen, Mia-
use thev are unequalled. All the Medicines

cure all diseases with one or two medicines. Our
series consists of ELEVEN dillerent kinds, adapted
to the various diseases incident to the temperate
and tropical climate. The following comprise tha
series of Graefenberg Medicines :
THE   GRAEFENBERG    VEGETABLE PILLS,
Are considered the standard Pill of the day,
aud are infinitely superior to any Pill before tLs
public. The operate without irritation on all the
excretions, purging the blood by the bowels,liver,
kidneys, and skin.
MARSHALL'S UTERINE CATH-
OLICON.
An infallible remedy for all diseases of the
womb and urinery organs, weakness in the back,
pain in the breast, nervousness, debility, etc. In
California and Oregon, out of more than a thousand cases where tbis medicine has been used, it
has in no single instance failed to give permanent
relief or to effect a certain cure.
THE  GRAEFENBERG  SARSAPARILLA.
A powerful extract. One bottle equal to ten
of the ordinary Sarsaparilla for purifying the
blood. A sure cure for scrofula, rheumatism, ulcers, dyspepsia, salt rehum, mercurial diseaseo,
cutaneous emotions, ifec.
THE GREEN MOUNTAIN OINTMENT.
Invaluable  for  burns,    wounds,  strains,  chit'
blains, sores, swellings, scrofula, etc.   As a Pain
Extractor it cannot be excelled, affording immedi-
te relief from the most excruciating pains.
GRAEFENBERG   DYSENTERY
SYRUP.
This extraordinary article is a speedy and infallible remedy for Diarrhcea, Dysentery. Cholera
Morbus, Cholera Infantum, aud tbe Asiatic
Cholera, if taken with the first symptoms ofthe

GRAEFENBEliG    CHILDREN'S
PANACEA.
For Summer Complaint, and most diseases to
which children are subject. Its true worth cau
never be set forth in words, but it can be fdt and
appreciated by parents whose children have been
saved.    No mother should be without it.
GRAEFENBERG PILE REMEDY
Warranted a certain cure for this painful disease. With the Ointment there are very Jew
cases which cannot be radically and permanently-
cured. A surgical operation for Piles and Fistula
should never be resorted to until this Ointment
has beeu thoroughly tried.    It never fails.
GRAEFENBERG EYE LOTION.
For diseases of the eye this Lotion has no equal.
It is a positive cure for inflammation of the eyes,
weaknesses, dimness aud tailing of sight. It will

complaint. These Pills are composed principally
of Quinine, with other vegetable tonics, antispasmodic and febrifuge articles. Thousands have

roots, barks, herbs and yiucs. An invaluable
tonic and health restorer.

BT  QEO.  P.  MORRIS.
I never conkl find a good reason
Why sorrow unhidden should Stay,
And all tbe bright joys of life's season
lie driven unheeded away.
Our cares would make no mure emotion,
Were we to onr lr>i lait resigned,
Than pcblilua thrown  iuto Ihe ocean,
That leave scarce a ripple beliiud.
Tbe world has a spirit of binuty.
Which looks upon all for the best—
Ard, while it discharges ils duty,
To Providence leaves all thereat:
That spirit's the beam of devotion,
Which lights us through life to its close,
And *s^l lik(. the sun in the ocean.
More beautiful tar than it rose.
Cat a vvlni.
Before leaving Cincinnati, recently, while under
tbe influence of Long worth'a nectar, the poet
Mackay's exuberant inuse descanted the following
sweet song :
Ohio's tfreen hill tops
Grow bright in the sun,
And yield us mora treasuie
Thau Rhiu« Garonuu ;
They give us Catawba,
The pure and lhe true,
Ai radiant as sunlight,
Ah aoft us Ibe dew ;
Aud fragrant »s yardena
Wheu buuinuT in uew.
Cliampaign is too often
A trickster malign,
That flows from ihe apple
And not from the Tin*.
But thou, my Catawba,
Art mild as a rose,
Aud .«we«t as the lips of
My love, wheu tbey cloie
To give back the kissea
My passion bestows.
Thoirrt born of the vintage,
And fed on its breast,
Catawba the nectar
And balm oftbe West.
When pledging tbe lovely,
This sparkler we'll kiss :
Wben drinking to true hearts,
We'll toast them in this—
For Catawba is like them,
Though tender, yet strong,
As pleasant as morning,
Aa soft as a song,
"Whose delicate beauty
The echoes prolong ;
Catawba !    Heart warmer !
Sou! cheerer ! life zest!
Catawba, the nectar
And balm of the West.
The American Flag.
We are indebted to Samuel C. Reid, jr., Esq., oi
Washington, for a pamphlet entitled "History ol
the Design of tbe Present Flag of tbe United
States." The first national flag of the present de.
sign, adopted in 1818, was made under the direction of tho veteran and gallant Capt. Reid, who
commanded the privateer Gen. Armstrong, aud is
still living. Conclusive cotemporary evidence ol
this is presented in this pamphlet.
Let us supply a little prior history. A Boston
letter of January, 177G says—"I can see the rebels
camp very plaiu. whose colors, a little while ago'
were entirely red, but they have hoisted "the Uni
on Hag " Another Boston letter, January, 177fi<
speaks ef tbis L^uiou flag as having " thirteen
stripes," which was hoisted at " Mount Pisgah,"
(Prospect Hill) under a salute of thirteen guns
and thirteen cheers. And Washington says in a
letter dated January 4, 1776, tbat this Union flag
was hoisted "in couHpliment ta the uuited colonies, on the day which gave being to the new army." This, then, was the period of the oiigiu ol
lbe "thirteen stripes." This design and that of
Ihe stars was made the national flag iu 1777.
The stripes continued So multiply as Stales
were added to the Union, so that the number got
to be eighteen, and the beauty of the flag threat,
ened to be destroyed. At length Congress determined to alter it ; asd, on being applied to, Capt.
Reid suggested a number of devices, the main
ones being the happy onea to return to tbe origi"
nal thirteen stripes and to add a star for every
new State, On the 25th of March, 1818, a com
mittee of Congress made inquiries of him as to t
flag "with thirteen stripes and twenty stars, form,
ing one great luminary, as par pasteboard plan
you (Capt. Reid) handed" for the use of the co:
mittee. The act passed April 4th, 1818, and went
into effect on the following Fourth of July.—Boston Post.

Gkxeeal Havelcck.—This General, whose de.
cease in India bas been so much lamented, was noi
a soldier, but a preacher. He waa a member cf
the Baptist Church in Calcutta, and is said by
missionary Kincaid, who knew hira well, to have
been a devoted Christian, Ho was accustomed to
carry with him a preaching tent, in which to ex
ercise his personal gifts as a preacher of the gos
pel. Hia influence was great and good in Ihe
army. Lord Gough used to rely on his brigade
for the most difficult aod dangerous work, and at
one time, when required to send forward a force
on a particularly perilous and important enterprise, calling for great care as wall as courage, is
said to bare exclaimed, " Turn out the saints ;
llafelock never blunders, and his men never get
drunk."	
The Duke de Roquelaure was one day told that
two ladies of the Court had quarrelled, and very
much abused each other. '" Have Ihey called each
othrr ugly .'" asked (he Duke. " No." ■' Very
well," answered he, "then 1 will undertake to
reconcile them."

Revolutionary Men.
A correspondent of the Petersburg Express,
writing from Leetown, Jefferson county, Virginia,
Bend") that paper an inteiesting le'.Ur abont revolutionary men and reminiscences, from which wi
take the following extract :
In the vicinity of the spot from whicb I addrc.si
you these line;-, are the dilapidated and antiqu1'
dences of three distinguished Major Generals
ofthe American Revolution. Withiu a radius of
one mile aad a balf lived leng and weary years,
Charlea Lee, the sinister hero of Monmouth ; Ho-
racio Gates, the loser of the battle of Camden, and
the Southern campaign ; aud Adam Stephen, the
early friend of Washington. In this little village
ou whose golden forest I am gazing—under the
shadow of the great woods here—remote from
camps and tbe flashing world, these three wa
riors rusted out the remainder of their lives ln in"
glorioiiB repose;.the rswords in moth-eaten scabbards, no more to be drawn. Here, if I mistake
not, two of them died, and soon even these fingering memorials of them will crumble and disappear, as their figureB are fading from the general
mind.
Lee's house is a hundred paces from the little
collectioa of houses called by his name, and is an
oblong building of atone, with chimneys at each
end and midway—low, with a rude porcb.depend-
iag, as it were, abeve the rough door, and with a
lew out-houses. Gates lived somewhat further
from the town, in a plain undecorated building
and Stephen occupied a mansion, probably built
by the earliest pioneers of the valley, in whicb
everything is small and confined but the fire-place.
But that is neither email or coufiued ; it is grand,
enormous. Around it how many good companions
must have gathered in the olden day, aud what
sounds of revelry shook the rafters overhead ;
You may have read of Adam Stephen in Spark's
edition of the writings of Washington, and there
you will And that among the hardy gentlemen
why stood shoulder to shoulder with the young
chief at Winchester, when the Indians ravaged
tho valley a hnndred years ago, was Lieutenant
Stephen. A large landed proprietor hereabouts,
be doubtless resented the trespass of the Indians
upon hie grounds, stretching toward tbe foot of
the great North mountain—at least he did good
service. He was afterwards au effective officer of
the revolutionary struggle, but left the armv
about the period of the battle of Princeton, disgusted with something or other—and so came
hither, and lived and died.
Of Gates and Lee more is known. The story of
the woful quarrel of the latter with Washington
at Monmouth, yon may read iu full as recently
published in the third volume of Irving's great
work. It is probable that history will finally
Lhow tbat Lee waB not ao much in the wrong as
the world supposes. That he made a blunder in
ordering his forces to retreat—and that this retreat very nearly ruined all the plans ot Washington, and lost the battle—this is certain; but it
was probably an error of judgment—not a want
of courage. In Lcutz's great picture he Bits hii
horse sullenly before the chief, whose hot anger
flames on. All that be did and said afterward8
was sullen, too, unfortunately. High words-
dignaot correspondence—Washington cold and
haughty—Lee raging, then a court martial—suspension for a year—and Lee, in utter disgust,
threw up bis commission and came hither " lo
hoe tobacco, that being tbe best school for a general," be said with a sneer at Washington. And
here in this poor and abscure dwelling, as I have
said, rusted out the sharp spirit of Lee, and fell
into dust and oblivion. With few neighbors—no
friends—surrounded by hounds and horses, and
making tbe chase his only occupation, nearly—
Thus lived the General and died. One day, long
afterwards, says a tradition of the neighborhood.
Washington sent bis old adversary a note, saying
that he would call on a certain morning, and see
him—that he hoped all past contention and bitterness had heen forgotten—he was coming to see
his old companion in arms—as a friend.
Ou tbe day fixed for the visit, Lee sent away all
his servants, placed upon the locked front door a
paper, with " No meat cooked here to-day " written thereon, and then followed his aervanta, leaving Washington to knock in vain. He never returned ; aud with lhe passing year, the eccentric
soldier grew more morose aud repelling. The
ground floor of bis house was divided by chalk
lines merely, forming thus four compartments. In
the first he kept bis books; in the second was his
bed; hia saddles ami hunting gear iu the third;
the fourth was used as a kitchen. He could thus
sit iu oue spot, he said, with grim humor, aud
overlook his entire household. Tired of his dogs
and his silent misanthropy at laat, he commenced
his " Queries, Political and Military," au attack
on Washington, hut the world declined listening
to him, and then, tired of life, the cynical spit it of
Charles Lee fled to other realms. His last words
were: Stand by me, my brave grenadiers!" and
ao he ended.
A word uow of the third one of my triad of warriors. Horacio Gates came to the old house yonder after Camden. It was the Gates who had
taken Burgoyne, and whose popularity at one
time overshadowed Washington's. But uow, alas i
how fallen! The breath cf an indignant public
opinion had blasted him, aud his laurels were ail
seared and withered. He had lost the battle oi
OamdeB—ha had been deposed from the command
of the army ofthe South, to make way lor Greene,
over his head lowered a heavy cloud of public
execration almost, and Congress, it was said, had
prepared its thunderbolt to strike him. But the
holt never fell. The sad soldier's Borrow was respected. They lelt him to die in peace here-
enough punishment that the magnificent drama
of the Revolution was played out, independent of
one who had enacted so splendid a part in its ear.

an enormous serpent was on my breast.
When I tell you that the whole of my che8t,and:
even the pit of my stomach, were covered with tfie1
scaly proportions of the reptile, you will own
that it must have been one of considerable si«c|

mention my part, I can never hope to tell, in Ian;
guage sufficiently distinct and vivid to convey the
full force. It was evident that the loathsome creature had at length seltled itself to sleep ; and I
felt thankful that, attracted by my breath, it had
uot approached the upper part of my throat. It
became quite still, and its weighty pressure, ita
first clammy chillne-js, became gradually (ao it
seemed lo me) o/ a burning heat, and' the odious,
indescribable odor which exhaled from its body
and pervaded the whole air, so overwhelmed me
that it was only by a severe struggle I preserved
myself from shrieking.
As it was, cold sweat burst from every pore, r
could hear the beaiio'g of my heart; and I folt, to
my increased dismay, that the palsy of terror had
begun to agitato my limbs. It will wake, thought
j, and then ail is over! At that juncture, aomS:
thing—it might have been a wall lizard, or a large
beetle—fell from tho ceiling upon my left arm,
which lay stretched at my side. The snake, uncoiling its head, raised itself with a low hiss, and
,heu for the first time I Baw it, saw the hood, the
terrible crest glittering in tbe moonshine. It was
a cobra de capello I Shading my eyes to exclude
the dreadful spectacle, I lay almost fainting until'
again all Was quiet. Had its fiery glance have
encountered mine, all would have been over ; but
apparently it was once more asleep, and presently
I heard the Lascar moving about, striking a light.-
A thought suddenly struck me, and with an impulse I could ascriba to uolbing;sbort of desperation, though its effects were so providential, I uttered in a loud bnt sepulchral toue "Kulfust I"

"Sahib!" was the instantaneous response, and
my heart beat quicker at the success of my attempt*
I lay still again, lor tho reptile, evidently rouse^

upon my naked arm. Oh God ! the agony of lhat
moment, when suppressed feeling almost gave way
lo madness! I debated with myself whether I.
should again endeavor to attract the attention o*
the Kulassi, or remain perfectly quiet, or whether
:t would not be belter than cither to start up at
once aud Bhake the disgusting burthen from me.
But the letter suggestion was at once abandoned,
because of lbe assurance I felt that it would prove
fatal. Impeded by the coils of tho creature, weak
nervous fiom excitement, I 3ould not escape iti'
fangs. Again, therefore, I spoke with tbe hollow
but distinct accents which arise from the throe,!
when the speaker is afraid to move a muscle—
