Tow Hill Papers.—No. 1
It is mident to inc, Wrignt, that you
atie pot a man of proper di•eernment, or,
Itke the distinguished Bonnet', you would
have handed me your cheek on the Colum
bia Bank fur at least ten thote.and dollars,
and in the most complimentary manner be-
sought me to write tifty-tWo papers to be

character and circulation, and to add to
your wealth, fame and honor. I felt, sir,
almost insulted by this neglect ou your part.
and were you an I I like sundry politicians
who have ;Lethally disgraced the honorald ,

you will make the "amend , holionthle," hr
:fleet me in the unsequestered nook of that
beautiful location euphoniously termed "Cat
Hollow,'" and submit to have your earthly
tabernacle handsomely pierced near the re
gion of the heart.
But to convince you, that I have a noMe
aim in view than the mere acquisition of
money, and that I write for fame alone by
letting others see how well I can write, 1
inform you, that time and health permitting,
you may expect from me, whenever I can
steal the necessary time from my other
great literary efforts, a paper that I trust
will be weir[) reading, not only by your
numerous subscribers, but by the friends of
Lettres throughout all literary chid.,
tendom. to the great astonishment of Mr.
Bonner and all others connected with his
wonderfUl enterprise.
I base selected the term "Tow llill Pa

known over the [llion than ••Tow 11111," as
• ,
• toe resort of a distinguished class of pa
triots who, hunting for freedom, are daily
seeking its classic shades, and make their
pilgrimage t...) this shrine of Virtue, Liberty
and Independence, either on foot, by utaler
ground rail-road, Irish sulkey, or any other
means, that men who have been tyrannized
aver until they are black in the face, can
use with hope of successful !light and es
cape front a disgraceful despotism mid

ter term, and very probably, as you arc a
gentleman of considerable taste, you can,
please du so, an 1 shoald it meet my appro

in such n matter as this, when the psi - wt...
themselves must achieve an immortal fame
fur both you and me: for they will certainly
agitate the world, revolutionize the literary
taste of all pulite nations, make me the
President of these United States, and when
they have accomplished this great and all
important work, will be bound up together
in book form and sold at sis cents a copy
as other great works have heretof,sse been.
if heathenish grocers and druggists do not
use the sheek fur wrapping paper.
Tow Hill is it place entirely unique in
itself. It is emphatically "the land of the
free and the home of the brave." Located
on the Eastern bide of the majestic Susque
hanna, it almost rivals that ether distin
guished spot designated on - Mitchell's map
of this terrestial globe as "Columbia," which
too has its stars and its shupeq, (altho' on a
whiter ground than their most favored cotem
pararies of "Tow Ilill,") to float over the
battlements and flout in the air like a wet
sheet on a clothes line of a March morning,
as has been several times very elegantly
expressed by one of our most distinguished
pulpit orators, its several grand displays.
'.fusv liill is an Institution of itself. It is
the area of freedom, where the large-t lib

Were 1 to scan critically the history of the
dignitaries of Tow 11111, there i , but little
doubt their origin might he traced to a el,
assimilation if not affiliation with the don
ble F's or F. V's, which in common par
lance means the First Families of Virginia;
of which and of whose chkalry so much has
been repeatedly said.
Many of them, without doubt, are the lin
eal descendants of the most distinguished
men, not only of that and other kindred
States, but of the nation; fur Nye know that
among them are persons named Thomas
Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe,
and others. Therefore it is that I am able
to solve the enign.a that has been no long a
stumbling. block to others, that when our
greatest orators and politician., speak or the
F. V's and F. . re, they wean or course
the first families of Virginia, and the lir , t
families of Tow Hill.
It is particularly observable, with what
in% idious jealousy the respective families
vier• each other, and with e•hat arist , ,eracy
of feeling they contend for distinction; for
unless an individual can tr.u•e his awe-try
back to tho names of huelt distinguished
pai ties as I have mentioned, he is consid
red as only "a cotrunon nigger," and um
worthy the countenance or Upper Tendon)
that is quite as exclusive as their aristocratic
brethren in the relined and elegant society
of Columbia.
thin great characteristic among them is
their entire obliviousness of the charms of
society in the "Sunny South,'' whither CO
of our northern ft itu.dq are glad to re
pair fur the benciit of the delightful climate,
which is said in many instances to hat ef-
Lctel wondrous. cures in cases of a bilious
nature, especially aumng that class of nota
hiluies whu think al.tsg.tatulatian necessary
in their country's good.
It may he that the climate is too hot for
persons of so delicate a texture as the citi
zens of Tow Hill, but it is presumable they
do not so much admire the "domestic insti
tutions" there. which seem to require of
certain portion of their population, some du
ties that are not entirely compatible with
their aristocratic notions of right and wrong.
It is on this account, that many, when they de
clat c their intentimf to cxpattiatc themselves
an d bo,me citizens Of a northern State, are
so freyn•ntly asked, whether in their hast 2, ,,

Geo. Fru.dcrick Cook, the tragedian, meant,
when, conversing with one of the F. F's of
Maryland, he termed the hand-cutTs and irons
that gracefull/ornamented his ancestors in
Newgate, before they were shipped as settlers
for that incipient State. Most of them :ire,
however, contented with exhibiting their
"scars and stripes," that have mathemati
cally tattooed their bodies, as the best evi
dence of the extreme happiness they enjoy
ed, and appeal to them as evidences of their
due appreciation or the favors bestowed up
on them while reaping or harvesting for oth
ers the fruits of their labor in the cotton and
rice fields. Enough for the opening paper.

"gentlemen in lodging-." A story is told
of one of these sufferers, an artist, who was
called upon by his landlord with the usual
warning tbut his rent would be raised at a

from one hundred dollars to two hundred

no intention, says the Cleveland Pia /leo/ ex,
of making fun of serious matters in telling
the following story; we merely relate a fact:
There is a rule at Oberlin College that no
student shall board at any house where
prayers are not regularly made. A certain
man fitted up a boardinghouse and filled it
with boarders, but forgot until the eleventh
hour the prayer proviso. Not being a pray
ing man hinthelf, he looked around fur one
who was. At length he found one—a nice];
young man from Trumbull county, s\llo
agreed to pay for his boarding, in praying.
For awhile all went smoothly, but the hoard
ing master furnished his table so poorly diet
the boarders began to grumble and to leave,
and the other morning the praying boarder
actually struck. Something like the follow
ing dimlogue occurred at the table:
Landlord—`Viii you pray, Mr. MilJ?

Landlord —W hy not, Mr. Mild?

D WILSON.
April Srr'y :int! Treun'r.
Scrofula, or King's Evil,
is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy, The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. 'What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and Murth generation ;" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of him Acho says, " I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children." ' •
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases ; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de
cimate, the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination ; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it front the system we must renovate
the blood by an alterative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply in
AYE R's
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com
bined from the most active remedial:: that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system front its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec
tions w hich arise front it, such as EnurrivE
and. SKIN' DISIASTIS, ST. ANTHONY'S Finn,
Rost:, or EaysiPl:L.ls, PIMPLES, PUSTULES,
lli.Anss and DOILS, TUMOIZS. TT.TTE/C
and S trr ltn; est, Sevim Ilt.in, litsmwonm,
lthuum.vrism, Sven it.rric and MmicentAL Dis-
LAsts, Duorsy, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING PROM V/11.1-
TED OR IMPUME 13LOOD. The popular belief
in .‘ impurity of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
Ayer's Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC,
are so composed that disease within the range of
their action eon rarely withstand or evade them
Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate e ery portion of the human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalitics. As a consequence of them*
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to find his
health or energy restored by a iemedy at once so
simple and im sting.
lot only do they cure the every-day complaints
of every Lody, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named is
pleased to furnish matis my American Almanac,
containing certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Costive
'ass, Heat tburn, Headache arising from disordered
Nomad,. Nausl a.. I nellyi stu., Attain and Morbid
inaction if the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss or Appe
tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints,
arising from a low state of the body or obstruction
of its functions.
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
MI Tilt CURE or
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump
tion, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So nide is the field of its usefulness and so nu
merous arc the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known. mho have been restored from alarming
and es en dmperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
obsonation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
'hile many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro
duced cures too numerous and too remarkabk to
be forgotten.
