supply. But a very important part of this doctrine is, that they be left to regulate themselves. But using every possible means on 'change to raise the price of gold; to give fictitious values to stocks; to buy up immense quantities of the necessities of life and hold them for a forced advance in price; to "mark up" prices at every little rise of gold, but seldom or never "mark down" when it falls, is very far from leaving things to regulate themselves. We know of nothing, unless it be the downright opposition to the Government manifested in these times by so many scheming politicians, that so much embarrasses and imperils our Government as these unprincipled and selfish efforts to enhance the price of the necessaries of life. It is no new thing under the sun. We remember how prominent a feature it was in the Peninsular and Napoleonic wars. The unprincipled and traitorous did the same thing during our own Revolution, and it was a source of great embarrassment in our war of 1812. It is an exhibition of the wicked, disloyal, avaricious, and selfish side of human nature, and the common-sense of the people will so interpret it. The time will soon be when the excitements of the war having passed away, the honest and thoughtful people will review this whole matter, and many who are now amassing rapid fortunes out of the necessities of their bleeding country, will be left to enjoy them under the contempt and suspicion of the honest and loyal people. But again, said our merchant, "it is the depreciation of your paper money." It is true that the Government has found it necessary to issue large quantities of paper money. Perhaps it was not the very best way in which the expenses of the war might have been met; but pressing exigencies forced it as a policy on the Administration. It is very certain that the very best way to depreciate the value of this money is to declaim against it, to demand large prices for every thing that is purchased with it, and recklessly to squander it in extravagance and luxury. It is equally certain that the inference our merchant would have had us draw, from the plentifulness of money, is a false one; not only because reckless extravagance is always wrong, but because it would be the very course to increase the difficulty of which he complained, namely, the depreciation of the value of the money itself. Yet again, said the merchant, "The future is so uncertain, that if you save it, it may not be long till it will be worthless." We are satisfied that a thought, something like this enters the minds of many, and leads to extravagance. And yet this very extravagance, as we have said above, tends to produce this very result. The true patriot will never despair of the Republic. The money is the issue of our Government; it is every man's duty as a patriot to maintain his Government. If the Government fails, then, to be sure, all is lost; but the true inference, both with regard to interest and duty, is to see to it that the Government shall not fail. With this view the true policy of all our people is prudence and economy; let us do all we can to keep the prices of necessaries as low as possible; let us eschew needless luxuries that must be imported from abroad; let us aid and not embarrass our Government in its fearful struggle; let us save all we can, and then, to make our savings sure, let us loan them to our Government, that it may be able to meet the enormous de mands upon it without further issues of paper money, and without fear of financial failure.

The eye will first fall on our two excellent engravings. Every lover of true worth, learning, zeal, and greatness will be pleased to find the excellent portrait of Rev. Dr. Nast, and then will turn to the admirable sketch of this "father of German Methodism," from the pen of Mr. Nordhoff. The lovers of the beautiful will turn to Mr. Jones's fine engraving of the quiet and peaceful scene "On the Licking"-a scene which some of our readers will doubtless recognize as having witnessed in their excursions and picnics on the banks of that beautiful stream, which empties into the Ohio just opposite the city of Cincinnati. The Sydenham Palace" and "The Lake District of New York" will please the lovers of travel and fine description. A stern lesson of Christian history is told in the story of "The Exile of the Salzburgers." Dr. Tefft still introduces us more fully to the wonders of "The Boreal Nights," and Dr. Crane shows us the soldiers in "Camp Convalescent." "Aunt Helen" still amuses and instructs us with her "Tour," and Mr. Graham with his "Frontier Sketches." "Uninvited Visitors" have been in more houses than one, and the "Unclaimed Picture" tells a sad story more than once realized in our "cruel war." Woman as a Letter-Writer" may learn something from Mr. Brush, and have her attention drawn to a useful and import ant field for the exercise of her art; but we join with the writer of the article in utterly condemning the practice of young ladies, now in vogue, of carrying on correspondence with unknown young men in the army. We trust none of the readers of the Repository can be induced by the many silly "advertisements for correspondence" found in the newspapers, to engage in this exceedingly improper and dangerous practice. Every one should read the "Life and Genius of Pascal," and also the gems of "poetry" we have furnished. BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS. THE BEST REMEDY KNOWN FOR THE CURE OF CONSUMPTION, DECLINE, ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, WASTING OF FLESH, SPITTING OF BLOOD, NIGHT SWEATS, HOOPING-COUGH, COLDS, CROUP, COUGH, DIFFICULTY OF BREATHING, INFLUENZA, PHTHISIC, PAIN IN THE SIDE, AND ALL DISEASES OF THE LUNGS. R. HALL'S BALSAM STRIKES AT THE ROOT OF THE DISEASE AT ONCE, and is not entirely satisfied with its merits, may return it and receive back his money. The most distressing cough is frequently relieved by a single dose, and broken up in a few hours' time. The afflicted do not have to take bottle after bottle before they find whether this remedy will afford relief or not. Call on the agent and get a pamphlet gratis. The Treatise on Consumption alone is worth the price of the medicine. You will find certificates of Physicians in Cincinnati, and of others whose cures have been effected here at home, where they can be found. The public have been imposed upon by remedies recommended by certificates which have always originated from some unknown source. We believe that a MEDICINE POSSESSING REAL MERITS will effect cures wherever it is used, at home as well as abroad. This is no paregoric preparation, but one which, if used in season, will save the lives of thousands; and persons may MAKE THIS BARGAIN WITH AGENTS from whom they purchase, that in every case where it is used freely, according to directions, and entire satisfaction is not given in twenty-four or forty-eight hours, they can return the medicine, and their MONEY WILL BE CHEERFULLY REFUNDED. We have certificates of its cures from many of our most respectable citizens-men and women who live and have been cured among us. For particulars we refer those living out of the city to our agents. Against such preparations as never effect cures where they had their origin we would caution you. Unknown persons and places, and fictitious cases, are made subservient to the spread and use of remedies of this doubtful character. Accompanying each bottle of Dr. Hall's Balsam is a treatise, in pamphlet form, on Consumption, with directions for using, modes, treatments, etc., for which we bespeak your perusal. Have you a cough, which you are neglecting, under the idea that it is only a common cold, and that it will soon "wear itself out?" Let a friend tell you, in all kindness, what will soon be the probable result. In a short time, if you continue to neglect yourself, yor, will begin to feel a sense of tightness and oppression across the chest, accompanied with frequent sharp darting pains. Then a dry, hacking cough will set in, and when you raise any thing it will be a thick and yellowish or white frothy matter, streaked perhaps with blood. If you still take no medicine these unpleasant symptoms will increase, and you will soon have hectic fever, cold chills, night sweats, copious expectoration, and then great prostration. If you still neglect yourself, a few weeks or months will see you consigned to the grave, leaving your friends to mourn how rapidly Consumption did its work, and hurried you away. Friend! have you no cause to be alarmed? In the above sketch you may see, as in a glass, how every case of Consumption progresses, with more or less rapidity, to a fatal termination. Of all the thousands and millions whom this great destroyer has gathered to the tomb, every single case began with a cold! If this had been attended to all might have been well; but being neglected, under the fatal delusion that it would "wear itself off," it transferred its deadly action to the substance of the lungs, exciting there the formation of tubercles. Another and another cold added fuel to the flame, till these tubercles began to soften and suppurate, leaving by their ulceration great cavities in the lungs. At this crisis the disease is very difficult of cure, and oftentimes sets at defiance all human means. In the latter or worst stage this medicine will oftentimes arrest the disease, or check its progress, and will always make the patient more comfortable, and prolong his life, and it is therefore worthy of a trial; but in its incipient or forming periods Consumption is as curable as any other disease, and Dr. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs, if taken at this time, will cure it as surely as it is taken! PHYSICIANS WILL USE IT IN THEIR PRACTICE, Cincinnati. MESSRS. A. L. SCOVILL & Co.: Dear Sirs,-The public generally are fully aware of the thousands of remedies for diseased lungs, under the titles of Sarsaparillas, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, etc., that are daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by way of advertisements. My object in writing this note for publication is to induce the public, or at least those who are afflicted-if they will use patent medicines-to use one that contains articles of real use in Pulmonary Diseases. I am conscious that in so doing I am acting most unprofessionally, and derogatory to the interests of medical science and the regular practitioners of medicine. The medicine to which I refer is "Dr. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs." I have prescribed it in a large number of cases, and always with success. One case in particular, to which I wish now to refer, was given up by several physicians who had been called in consultation with myself. The patient had all the symptoms of confirmed Consumption, such as cold night sweats, hectic fever, harassing cough, with continued pain in the lobe of the right lung, attended with severe diarrhea! He commenced immediately to get better by the use of the above-named medicine, and was soon restored to his usual health! I have also found Dr. Hall's Balsam the most valuable expectorant for breaking up distressing coughs and colds that I have ever used. W. D. WRIGHT, M. D. MORE PHYSICIANS' TESTIMONY. Cincinnati. We, the undersigned, physicians of Cincinnati, certify that Dr. Wright's statements are entitled to the fullest confidence of the public, and we can fully corroborate what he has said, having used Dr. Hall's Balsam in a number of cases, with the happiest effect.
