TO COXStTMJPTiVES: AS the possibility of a cure of coninption Is partially ad mitted from the fact that thr! professed consumptive curcrs have passed through this seritnn of country within the last six months. and from the benefit we have derived from the use of Dr. Fitch's prescription -e tfould point the con sumptive to the use of these rercMi-js, believm that from their use perseveringly, they will derive all the benefit that they can possibly exp.-ct, and probably beyond their most sanguine expectations. We have used them in our family, successfully, for the last 3 years, and by the blessing of the Lord, they have proved all ihev prefessed to be. We have been under the treatment of Physicians, both North and Sout h, of eminence, but with the exception of these (Dr. b itch s remedies.) have received but a temporary relief In ad--dition, we have used a poodiy portion of drugs and patent medicines ; Swaim's and Wistar's Syrup and Balsam of Cher ry we have fully tested ; the Pectorals and Expectorants row in use, we know but little, by experience, save Dr F's. which we have used and seen used with effect in many cases of coughs and colds, and do believe, if taken in due time, ac cording to directions, in recent colds, coughs, hoarsncss, sore throat, &c., &.c , may not only be freed from preseui distress but from the effects consequent thereon. His : IHarrhca. Medicines (Specific) especially, in ordinary lJiarrhea, Children's summer complaints. &c, are excel lent nnd in such cases as have prevailed the past summer and tall his additional remedies arc invaluable. His Pulmonary Liniment, as a substitute for harsher remedies, (which are generally used, Tartar Ointment, Croton Oil, &c.,) need but be tried to satisfy ; in fact his External and Internal reme dies, when used as prescribed, for the class of diseases in view, need no comment from us. Try and see. We have known cases where they have failed ; we know more that the prescriptions were not followed. If Dr. F.'s Medicines arc a humbug, they have humbuged U3 into the en joyment of better health than we ever expected to onjoy He flatters none ; he advises all. Sold by S. S. FITCH 714 Broadway.

Thc Ttrrjrs of Ugliness The last number of the Democralic Review is oi na- ' menteil (?) with a portrait of Mr. BenncU, of the Her 1 aid. It must beronfesseffthat Bennett is not a hand j some man. The Louisville Journal pokes fun at his i likeness in the following pitiless style : 7'here's one thin we wH rea.lily aJmit, an 1 that is, that if Bennett's portrait be correct, he is the ujrli ; est of the Democratic editors For a while we doubt i ed whether he or a certain neighbor of ours is the tig- liest mortal, but the twist in the eyes of Bennett deci ded the contest in his favor. We congratulate our ! neighbor that there is one editor uglier than himself in the Democratic ranks. Bennett's portrait is terrific. Such a thinjr Ought never to be painted or daguerreotyped. It ought lo be rnneiilorod n tiAnnl nflr"irf in mnlrp nnvthintr an rpvnl- " . m " -i c " ' ... iv . .:!,, i lu m V.m ,uert" 1" 1 i" " to monopolize so much ugliness. If Bennett's ugliness conM be distributed over a thousand faces, it would i make each of them intensely, hatefully ugly. He ought not to be permitted lo go into the streets with ! out a blanket over his awful frontispiece. No won- ler lhat so many of the New York children die of con l vulsions, since Bennett is permitted to walk abroad i with uncovered face. Wo once heard of a man's- face I that was so ugly lhat it was placed on andirons for j the purpose of frightening children from the fire with ! much effect. No child dared to approach the andirons, and liability lo combustion from cause was greatly lessened. If Bennett's ugly likeness were stamped on fire places, the effect would he decidedly bad, for ihe children would not dare to go near enough to the fire to keep warm, and would become-frost bitten and per haps frozen to death. We cannot conceive of any reason why anything should be so ugly as Bennett. He is uglier than a half starved hyena. He is ugliness perfected. There is a thoroughness about his ugliness which defies com petition. When Mirabeat: described himself as a li ger that had had the small pox, lid placed a Tery ugly idea in everybody's min:!, but it was beautiful when compared with Bennett's face. When Appelles made his beauly, his Venus, he took an eye from one wo man, a nose from another, a mouth from a third, and so on until the Venus was completed in her more than earthly beauty. Now, if any Appelles or artist of any appellation, wished to make the most indubitably per fect representation of ugliness, he would not be com pelled to take features from several very ugly persons, but all he would be compelled to do would be to get Bennett's face, and the enterprise would be accom plished. A Kentucky Scliool. We extract the following from one of Willis' west ern letters, lately published in the Home Journal : "I waited Darley at my elbow to sketch ihe inte rior of this school. Unconsciousness makes beautiful pictures tho rudeness and grotesqueness of real life groupings rather adding than otherwise to iheir effect. While three or four of tho girls just entering upon awkwardhood, had their heels on the benches and sat with their chins on iheir knees, feeling of their toes, there were three or four younger ones, wilh grace and beauty enough to equip angels the heaven they were leaving behind them still radiant in their delicious lit tle faces. One I could have taken to my bosom with a hug and stolen (to adopt and add to ihe " Orion's belt of three' who form my constellation at home ;1 a little fairy lying flat on her slomach on the top of a sloping desk, and with her hee's in the air, and her cheek in her hand, loo busy with her spelling book lo notice our coming in. Her heaps of curls were masses of brown tanned lighter at the curves, and the russet red of her cheek wa beaming with tranquil ! health eyes large and steady, hand plump and ditty, shoulders and back bare, and frock ragged. There she lay learning lo spell ; and meantime more beautiful than : she will be when the spelling' is learned, and better worth admiring and loving than when her heels are . kept down and her rags changed to the petticoats of I womanhood. How out of time and place come the things we most want in this world ! I am inclined to think Eden is still arnnnd us Its loveliness and hap piness are only misled, mislabelled and unrecognised "Of the troops on hoard the bench provided for the jacket and trouser department of the school, one half, at least, were picking the clay from between the logs, and so getting a look at the open air outside ; and they had so far succeeded that the four walls let- in the light like a honeycomb. There was one window a hole sawed through one of ihe logs, that is to say but the main supply of light came through the door. Near this stood the tall, erect, majes.'ie form of the schoolmaster certainly tho largest supply of dignity for the money twenty-five dollars a month) which I had yet seen in my travels. How so hand some a man could see-himself in the glass, once a day, and keep lhat school for the pay, I presume Providence knew and provided : but he seemed to me to have nature's ticket on his brow for the govern ment of older minds.'' An artist might make a beautiful picture of this. ! 's hwever Palpable enough to the eye as it is.. j A Hole ix mis Brtkches :A correspondenl of an ' exchange relates ihe folowinp anecdote ot a prominent lawyer in Alabama, who, by the way, is considered a " character :"' " M. has a habit rather an elegant one, I a Imit of feizing the seat of his inexpressibles, and pulling them energelically up and down, in the heat of debate especially when addresing a jury, leaning over, with his face nearly to theirs, as if lo read in theireyes the fate of his cause; wilh the nether end of his person apparently suspended in the air by his hands, he pre sents an attitude that would make Patience on a mon ument forget her province.

Upon one occasion .before the jury,. hi was making his pet gesture, and certainly, with ' great efivct,' for not only the jury, the addience, but his Honor him self, with ill-disguised . : attempts tci f maintain the dig nity of the ermine.

Very soon after his arrival, he presented himself at the office of one of the leading journals, and requested to see the ed itor, lie was desired to give his name and business, which he did, and an answer was speedily brought that the editor was engaged. By dint of great ur gency, he at last succeeded, in making his way to the room of the sub-editor, and, having nercr futimf any difficulty in obtaining a hearing from gentlemen of the pres in his own coantryi" where the time of an editor is considered almost public property, ho proceeded at once to explain his discovery, supposing that it would be received as a favor, and duly glori fied, as a matter of course, in the next day's impres sion ! Before ho had fairly made his bejrinninj:, I however, the sub-editor cut him short, politely but nrm:y, oy saying he had no time to fpare, and that he presumed his visitor's object was to havo his dis covery noticed. " Why. yes, sir, I Rhould like " it'ean1 be done, sir, without trouble; write what ever you like, it shall go in : of course you wM leave your name and address. The clerk in the office will arrange with you as to terms. Good morning, sir.' Finding himself bowed out, Mr. R. went to the office where he was furnished with pen, ink, and paper, sat down, and in the course of some twenty minutes produced an editorial paragraph of perhaps, twice that number of lines. This he handed to the clerk, merely asking whether it would appear the next day. - 1 " Certainly, sir. Editorial 1'' ? "Yes, sir, in the editoral columns." " I presume you would not wish it in tho largest typo usd in the paper' 'Why, yes, sir, I should prefer that." "In that case, sir, the charge willb ten' guineas J if in smsiller, five." Air.

The practice of composting, though one of the highest practical importance to the agri culturist, is nevertheless one that has unfortunately attained hut a limited adoption among farmers, and especially among those who most need the assistance of manure. ' Everything of a vegetable origin, is capable ofThc coming food for plants, and conoequen'.ly is of valuo in the business of composting. 4 The farmer as he looks down upon apparently nn succulent and adust mosses, which so scantily clothe with a bristle-like foliage, the steri'o fence, or the clifted rock, is ready to inquire, perhaps with a sense of contempt, how such productions can be rendered of value in the fecundation of soils, or the matura tion of .valuable crops ; or how the haulm from which to all appearance, every particle of sustenance has been extracted, or the dry leaves of the fores t, borne upon the wings of the lightest breeze, as if rejected by nature, can be rendered serviceable in the great labor of enriching the soil, and imparting vigor, an-1 sustenance to vegetable forms. , . . , . All vegetable fibrous matters consist of carbon ox ygen and hydrogen; three principles which may"'. regarded as stricily indispensable to vegeMiblr'lifo" In one hundred parts of this substance, we find : by analysis, of carbon, 52.5, oxygen, 42 3,hydxo2en,5.ii.
