constitutions / of multitudes of men.It either produ.cc3 or\u2014n* jUffif 0m blpp.d, \\vherein «piqt fluid becomes in-j competent to sustain j the vital forces in their L Vigorous action, and Bfeftyqs the.system to ^fall intçt disorder and decay.The scrofulous (lûntamiqation is variously caused by mercurial (liseuse, low living, disordered digestion from unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection.Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in tho constitution, descending \u201c from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation ; \u201d indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, \u201c I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children.\u201d The diseases which it originates take various names, according to the organs it attacks.In the lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally Consumption ; in the glands, swellings which suppurate and become ulcerous sore-3 ; {tj the stomach and bowels, derspgçmehts which produce indigespmq, dyspepsia, spd liver com-BlmntSi qn the skin, eruptive and cqtaneons affections.These all having the same origin, require the same remedy, viz.purification and invigoration of the blood.Purify the blood, and these dangerous distempers leave you.With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, vou cannot have health ; with that \u201c life of thé flesh \u201d healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease.Ayer\u2019s Sarsaparilla is compounded from the most effectual antidotes that medical science has discovered for this afflicting distemper, and for the cure of tho disorders it entails.That it is far superior to any other remedy yet devised, is known by all who have given it a trial.That It does combine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect upon this class of complaints, is indisputably proven by the great multitude of publicly known and remarkable cures it has made of the following diseases : King\u2019s Evil or Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Ery-sipelas, Rose or St.Anthony\u2019s Fire, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tuberculous deposits in the lungs, White Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases, Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole series of complaints that arise from impurity of the blood.Minute reports of individual eases may be found in Ayer\u2019s American Almanac, which is furnished to the druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be learned the directions for its use, and some of the remarkable cures which it has made when all other remedies had failed to afford relief.Those eases are purposely taken from all sections of the country, in order that every reader may have access to some one who can speak to him of its benefits from personal experience.Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far more subject to disease and its fatal results than are healthy constitutions.Hence it tends to shorten, andt does greatly shorten, the average duration of human life.The vast importance of tliç;j considéra, lions has led us to sperm years in perfecting a remedy which is adequate to its cure, This WC now Offer to the public under the name of Ayer\u2019s Sarsaparilla, although it is composed qf ingredients, some of which exceed the best of Sarsaparilla in alterative power.By its aid you may protect yourself from the suffering and danger of these disorders.Purge out the foul corruptions that rot and fester in the blood ; purge out the causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow.By its peculiar virtues this remedy stimulates the vital functions, and thus expels the distempers which lurk within the system or burst out on any part of it.We know the public have been deceived by many compounds of Sarsaparilla, that promised much and did nothing ; but they will neither be deceived nor disappointed in this.Its virtues have been proven by abundant trial, and there remains no question of its surpassing excellence for the cure of the afflicting diseases it is in-tended to reach.Although under the same name, it is a very different medicine from any other which has been before the people, and is far more effectual than any other which has ever been available to them.JDZSZEÏOTJTPJEÏID A.-S'ER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, The World\u2019s Great Remedy for Coughs, Colds, Incipient Consumption, and for the relief of Consumptive patients in advanced stages of the disease.This has been so long used and so universally known,

JANUARY 28, 1868.OUR COTTAGE IN THE YALE.I remember many forms That were dear in early years, When life was like the sweet spring-time, Sunshiny in its tears ; From memory\u2019s pale, uncertain page, The names have passed away, The voices echo round me still, The merry cries of play : The old, delighted oft would seem, Among us girls and boys, Grow young again, or seemed to do, Amid our glee and noise ; And the Thrasher with his flail, And the Milkmaid with her pail, Are mingled in the memory Of our Cottage on the Yale.When many years had passed and gone, Again I sought that scene ; The leafy wood, the singing stream W\u2019ere there, our happy green ; And merry children blithe as we, Weie out with hoop and ball, But ah ! my mates like birds had flown, None answered to my call : Our humble cottage swept away, The g'irden choked with weed ; Amid the vreek one rose I found, A prize, though none else heed ; And the Thrasher with his flail, And the Milkmaid with her pail, Came mingled with the memory Uf our Cottage in the Vale.J.W.Thirl wall.tietam, where he is represented as having stood the whole brunt of the contest till he was wounded.Newspaper correspondents put into his mouth a saying that will be looked on as fanfaronade or heroism, according to the sympathies of the critic\u2014that he would have compounded for a ball in a fatal place, if it had been postponed so as to give him another hour on the field.He may or may not have said this, which may bo remarked also of another saying, perhaps more unequivocally foolish, when, before going into battle at Fredericksburgh, he is reported to have affirmed that he was going to put this thing through in half an hour.\u201d The probabilities are that he did not say so, since it was shown on the court-martial that he was opposed to making the attack and doubted its success, though he promised his best assistance.The United States are in the common predicaments of Governments making war for the first time, after a long term of peace.They have no one known to be a great commander, and they must change over and over till they find the right man ; but the process is a ruinous one, and before it is ended by the discovery of a commander like Wellington, who closed the series of failures in our great continental war, the ruin may be complete.rxteo nfStK MOiy «JEA1.H WKDNE&DAY MORNING,

Gotc BanktIOnale\" the Mexicans, and that where equal numbers of i B.Jacques Cartier both meet, there is the greatest probability of a', the Mexicans being defeated.It therefore seemg to be nearly impossible that, as the report of the English officer of the Ossian says, four thousand French were defeated by eight hundred Mexicans, The French account, published in the Opinion of Jala pa, states that the greater part of the French and Mexican troops stationed in that city, had set out in the direction of Perote, leaving a sufficient garrison and the necessary artillery ; also, that a report was circulated in Jal-apa that the French troops who left Perote had had a combat with the guerillas, but the Opinion denies that anything of the sort had occurred.It says that as far as San Miguel del Soldado, the French troops had not met with any enemy or fired a single shot.On the other hand, all the accounts, Mexican as well as French, contradict the rumor which some days ago reached us, via Sau Antonio, that the French had taken Puebla.It is certain, on the contrary, that Peubla is to be defended with the utmost vigor.The Buletin Official of that city declares that for no cause whatever the escorts from Puebla to Mexico would be with drawn.The French, however, were inclined to believe the report that all the field artillery had been taken from Puebla, leaving only the siege guns, and that a part of the troops bad been withdrawn for the defense of the City of Mexico, which, it seems, was^threatened by the movements of Gen.Mejia, one of the chief generals of the Conservative party, which has adopted the intervention of the French.According to the Her dido of the City of Mexico, re-enforcements for the Mexican army had arrived at Puebla and at Mexico, and, on Dec.10, Gen.Doblado had won a decided victory over a hostile force, numbering two thousand men.On the other hand, the French and their Mexican allies claim to have won victories at Meddelin and St.Andres.Marquez is reported to have, on Dec.13, won a victory in Cerro de Leon, and Gen.Mejia to have, by a successful raid, taken $500,000.Reports of dissensions among the leading Mexican Generals are repeated, but still lack confirmation.The financial condition of the Republic, however, is, according to all accounts, most deplorable.The Heraldo of Mexico states that the General-in-Chief has been authprize i to disburse the public revenues of several States, and even to seize private property.In the capital there is a great scarcity of money, and commerce has been greatly injured by the infinite taxes.In Puebla (according to the French) a decree had been published imposing a monthly contribution of £152,400, divided into £7,000 to $500; and at Guanajuato, Gen.Doblado tried to raise a loan, but has been unsuccessful.It is this wretched condition of the Mexican finances which seems to be at present the greatest danger to the Republic.Still the nature of the country and the climate may cost the French enormous sacrifices, and it is at all events a fact worthy of consideration, that Gen.Prim, who is as competent a judge of the matter as any foreigner can be, still adheres to his opinion that the French will not accomplish the object of their expedition.\u2014 Tribune.Am\u2019t of\tPaid\tDividend Shares.\tup.\tlast 0 mos $ 200\twhole\t4 per cent £50 stg:\tdo\t3 per cent $100\tdo\t3J pr cent 80\tdo\t3Î pr cent 30\tdo\t3 ner cent 50\tdo\t4 per cent 50\tdo\t4 per cent 40\tdo\t4 per cent 40\t10 p c\t 100\tdo\t4 per cent 100\twhole\t4 per cent 50\twhole\t4 per cent 40\twhole\t31 pr cent 50\t30 p c\t4 per cent 50\t60 p c\t4 per cent lOOstg\twhole\tNone.100\tdo\tNone.82\tdo\t1% pr ct.200\tdo\tNone.20\t$15.10\t30 cts p sh 4\t12%\t20 p C 5\t75\t 8\t$4 10\t 40\twhole\t5p c.6mo 40\tdo\t4p c.6 mo 50 100\t70j> c\t6p c.6 mo Closing Prices.113,1131 98{g)99 91 @92 105@106 106,106* 99@100 101i, 102 100,100J 82# dis 2@3 dis $2.50 40c sh 122.122i 1124,113 95@97 115,116 BY TELEGRAPH.Via Montreal Liao., Montreal Water Works 6 per cents, stg 96 @ 9(1>^ Montreal City Bonds, 0 per cents.95 Montreal Harbour Bonds, 7 per cents.103 Quebec City, 0 per cents.94 Toronto City Bonds, 6 per cent, 1876.89 Champlain R.R.7 per cents.00 Champlain R.R.Bonds, (Montreal & I N.Y.6 percents).( EXCHANGE.Bank on London, 60 days.UQV @ H0M Private do .i09\t@ no Do with documents.\u2014\t@ ___ Bank on New York.1.34\t@ m dis Private\tdo .35 @ 36 dis Süver.04 @ 04X dis Prentice, Moat & Co., \u201e\t,\tBrokers, No.16 Exchange.Montreal, Jan.37, 1863.(RY telegraph.)
