AND LIVER FILLS.
"TTTE beg  leave to call the attention of the W trade, and more especiallj-the phj'sicians of the country, to two of the most popular rem¬ edies now before the public.    We refer to Dr.   Charles M'Lane's celebrated Vermifuge a.nd Liver  Pills. W^e   do   not  recommend   them as universa cure-alls, but simply for what their name pur¬ ports,  viz:
THE  VERMIFUGE, For expelling Worms from tho human sj'Stem. It   has also   been adniinistered with thc most satisfactory results to various Animals subject to worms. THE lAi'ER PILLS,
For the cure of Liver complaints, all Bilious derangcments.Sick Head-acho, &c.    In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE, preparatory to or after taking ijuinine, tliey al¬ most invariably make a speedy and permanent cure. As specifics for thc above mentioned diseases, they are unrivalled, and never known to fail when administered in accordance with tne directions.
Their unprcco<1ented popularitj  lias induced the proprietors, FLEMING BROS.,

"Kind words can never die." Though long years may have swept over the earth since the time wheu they were spoken ; though the lips that gave tbem utterance may have long been hushed; tbe heart from which they flowed been long buried beneath the green turf—yet they are not lost, their memory still lives a cherished and blest influence from the past.
"Kind words make happy homes."
That home alone, however high or lowly, is blest, where love and gentle¬ ness reign ; for what are kind words but types of these heaven-born qualities?— "From the abundance of the heart the
kindly
thoughts fill our inward life, the outward life will show them forth in kind and gentlo words. They are the links iu the chain which binds together the forms that cluster around the fireside.

to gladden tho heart by some mission of love ; ever active to sooth the angry spirit of contention wilh the oil of their charity. Home is not home without lliem ; wheu kiud words are unheard in tbe dwelhug, aud all the graces that fol¬ low their footsteps have fled with them, theu indeed is home uo longer the rest- iug-place of the heart. The sunlight of love bas left the sky of life, aud the dark night of sorrow is brooding overhead, starleri.s aad drear.
We need kind words all along our way on earth ; iu joy and sorrow ; alike are I they welcome at the wedding-feast, aud I the buried service.    They are angel mes- ' sengers to earth's weary children, *'re- :joiciiig with them that  do  rejoice, and 1 weeping with them that weep."    As the I evening dew  drops, coming down from I the skies, fall upon the fair young flow¬ ers, fiesliening them into uew life, so do the gentle voices o( kiuduess come upon I the human heart.    And as the little sum¬ mer streams, bubbling up in glad music, greet the coining of the cheering sun-
JoYFUL Reunion.—The Richmond cor¬ respondent of the Petersburg Express says : "There was a joyful meeting under a humble roof in Sidney, Wednesday.— A young man who has been absent from home for nineteen years, and who was long since mourned as dead, unexpect¬ edly knocked at his father's door while the family were partaking of the usual morning meal. A beautiful sister, just attained to blushing womanhood, an¬ swered the knock, but of course did not recognize the brother, he being a mere lad when he left the parental roof. He then abked for Mr. K., and the old gen¬ tleman quickly appeared, but did not recognize the long lost son. The mother now made her appearance, and, scanning the features of the stranger but for a moment, suddenly recognized the long departed boy. Shrieking "My son ! my son I" her warm heart became too full for utterance, and she swooned away in¬ to the young man's arms. A neighbor, who is my informant, hearing the com¬ motion, and not knowing the cause, rush¬ ed ill. Tbe scene was indescribable and paiafully  affecting.    The   mother  still
furnished her with oil, &c., to remove the tar, and with clothing to hide her naked¬ ness.
mache picture in it, representing some I she escaped from the clutches of her in¬ famous view or monument; the seats are ! human persecutors, ran to the shop of a capacious,and the ventilators are numer-   blacksmith uear by, who received her, ous and apparently efficient.   The car,   shut tbe door upon her pursuers, and owing to the greater thinness of the iron sides, is eight inches wider than the nar¬ row guage cars are usually, and  weighs less by a ton than a wooden car of the same dimensions.   This is certainly  a desideratum, for in proportion to num¬ bers, the  battle of Solferino  was  not more fatal in the destruction of human life, than some of the late railroad disas¬ ters.
How and whk.\ to Eat Frvit.—Fruit should not be indulged in between meals, as though it was a luxury, but used in moderation at meal time, in the place of animal and other food. It should not be eaten for desert, after a full meal has been made, as is usually done—a custom which cannot be too severely reprehend¬ ed. Fruit may, with safety, be eaten at any meal, but it would be well to confine it to breakfast. The old saying will be found true by practice. "Fruit is gold in the morning, silver at noon, and lead at night," Let it constitute a part of the breakfast, and be eaten at no other period ofthe day; let it be ripe and not eaten immoderately, and incalculable benefits will arise from its use, both in preventing the access and staying the progress of disease during the summer aud fall months,—//a//'s Journal of Health.
Ciiir-D OP THE State Prisox.—One of the editors ofthe New York Commer* cial recently visited the prison at Sing Sing. He writes that the curiosity of the female prison is the prison child.— This is a beautiful boy about two years old, born in prison ofa convict mother, who was sent there for passiug counter¬ feit money. He is the pet of the estab¬ lishment, and the admiration of every visiter. A short time since a wealthy Southern lady offered to adopt it as her
Vall'e of Coal Beds.—The London Times says that the exhaustion of ths English coal beds wonld be thc final and utter catastrophe of British greatness, and she would immediately sink into a third-rate power. The bituminous coal area of Great Britain is 1,139 square miles ; anthracite, 3,730 square miles.— If these form the solid foundation of hef greatness, what shall we say for that of our own country ? The bituminous coal area of the United States is 133,132 square miles. The anthracite coal re¬ gion, 80 far as now discovered, ia not as large as that of England, though it is said to be much more valuable as an ar¬ ticle of fuel.
It is estimated that the American people consume annually about five HHU lions of tons of coal. The consumptiod will be greatly increased with the in¬ crease of business, the exhaustion of wood land and for the purpose of mantl- factures and navigation. There is no end to the coal treasures of the United Slates. Those of Virginia alone; coup¬ led with the iron mines, and commercial advantages, wonld make her in t'me as prosperous and populous as Great Brit¬ ain, if she would practice an enefgetitj development and economical husbandry of her vast and varied resources.

'>0b! deem it not an idle thmg,
An angiy word to speak: The look you wear, tbe thought you bring,
A heart may heal or break,"
Kind words cost us nothing ; and yet to those around us they may be blest.— There are, in the crowded streets of our cities, thousands ofthe poor and needy, the weary and the aflBicted, those with whom fortune has dealt harshly, to whom, though we canot give things of great value, or sympathy and kindness may be doubly welcome.    There are many of our
long mourned son ; the father's eyes were suQused with tea''s; and the sister, with two or three younger members of the family, sobbed aloud. Ascertaining the cause of this joyful weeping, a sympa¬ thetic cord in the visitor's heart was touched, and for a brief period all were completely overcome, "He that was lost is found!"
Handsome; Wo.mf..v to Travel ^ith.— If it is iu contemplation to spend several days at a time in hotels in cities or in small  towns, or  to be a good deal iu steamboats ; to do so with the greatest amount of comfort and complacence, iu consequence of having the best things and the best places, the first and best and promptest attention from landlords, clerks and servants, travel with a hand¬ some woman.    There is nothing like it. No fai'y hand will transmogrify things so.    Beauty "rules   the   roost" every- where.    It commands everybody, from hostler to host.   You may yourself be nobody, you may have a pug nose, a red head'; yon may be a perfect duck of a man—so short and fat  that you can't make a respectable waddle; your back may be humped j your shank a perfect spindle, and your leg a perfect bov/— ouly have a magnificent woman  along, aod for her sake you will be treated all your journey through as courtiers treat their king.

Death of Ge.\. Edward Watts.—This venerable and well known citizen of Vir¬ ginia died on the 9th instant, at his late residence in Roanoke.
