Dyspepsia, Dyspepsia, Dy.pepsia
I, Elizabeth Branson, of Brandywine,
Del., formerly of Old Chester, Del., do
certify that, for one year and a ball', I suf
fered everything but death from that awful
disease called Dyspepsia. My whole sys
tem was prostrated with weakness and
nervous debility; I could not digest my
food; if I ate even a cracker or the small
est amount of food, it would return just as
I swallowed it; I became so costive in my
bowels tivt I would not have a passage in
less than from 4 and often 8 days ; under
this immense sull'erm,l., my mind seemed
entirely to give way. I had dreadful hor
ror and. evil forbodings. I thought every
body hated me, and I hated everybody ;
could not bear my husband nor my own
children ; everything appeared to be hor
ror stricken to me; I laid no ambition to
do anything; I lost all my love of family
and home; I would ratable and wander
from place to place, but could not be con
tented ; I telt that I was doomed to hell,
and that there was no heaven tbr me, and
was often tempted to commit suicide, so
near was my whole nervous system de
stroyed, and also my mind, from that awful
eomplaint, Dyspepsia, that iu„y friends
thought best to have me placed in Dr,
Kirkbride's Hospital, West Philadelphia;
I remained there nine weeks,
and thought
I was a little better, but in a few days my
dreadful complaint was raging as bad as
over. Hearing of the wonderful cures per
formed by Dr.' Wishart's Great American
Dyspepsia Pills, and his treatment for Dys
popsia, my husband called on Dr. Wishart
and :tatted my ease to him. Ito said he
had no doubt he could cure me. So in
three days alter 1 called and placed myself
under the Doctor's treatment, and in two
weeks I began to digest my food, and felt
that i zlisease was fast givint , way, and

DR. WISIIART—Sir:—It is with much
pleasure that I am now able to inform you
that, by the use of your great American
Dyspeptic Pills, I have been entirely cured
of that most distressing complaint, Dys
pepsia. I had been greviously afflicted for
the last twenty-eight years, and fi_r ten
years of that time have not been free from
its pain one week at a time. I have had
it, in its worst form and have dragged on a
most miserable existence—in pain day and
night. Every kind of food filled the with
wind and pain, it mattered not how light,
or how small the quantity. A continued
belching was sure to follow. I had no ap
petite for any kinds of meats whatever,
and my distress was so great for several
months before T heard of your Pills, that, I
frequently wished for death. I had taken
everything that I bad heard of for Dyspep
sia, without receiving any benefit; but on
your Pills being recommended to Inc by
one who had been cured by them, I con
cluded to give them a trial, although I had
no faith in them. To my astonishment
_I
found myself getting better before I had
taken one-fourth of a box, and, after taking
half a box, I ant a well man, and an eat
anything I width, and enjoy a hearty meal
three times a day, without inconvenience
from anything I eat or drink. If you think
proper, you are at liberty to make this
public and refer to me. I will cheerfully
giro all desirable information, to any one
who may call on me. Yours. respectfully,

Ike's Panama Het
BY JAMES S. \WATKINS
"Ada artcripra indicant interiora nerds." In forna
ing• ou r opinion of tee dispositions of men, we can
alone be guided by a reference to their past con
duct.
On a visit Ike went to the city,
To see all the fashions and shows,
But his wardrobe—alas what a pity,
Was minus the "latest style" clothes;
Bo had trowsers, last style a-la-mods,
And a "waistcoat" all bordered with plait,
While in excellent taste, too, ho showed
A beautiful Panama hat.
He'd fine dickies, and bosoms as rare
As most of the genties possess,
While the barber had "curried" his hair
Well suiting his excellent dress:—
Ike himself then he dreamed was a beau,
While beside Zatlinrina he sat,
With a cane, upon which he could show
His beautiful Panama lint
'Twas the evening he went to the play,
.“Wit Kataripa von Anna Sophia,"
That he made a most pleasing array
In all hie extensive attire ;
For he put on his plait bordered vest,
His trowserloons—striped at that,
They bet matched well the style of his best—
'that beautiful atimma hat.
He strutted as proud as a King, sir.
A handle was pat to his name,
And "Mr. Ike" prevailed, ust the thing, sir,
To place him among men of fame;
Yet, he neer once forgot his attire,
Ills trowscrlouna, vest, and all that
Would joy Katarina Sophia
The beautiful Panama hat.
And then "Mr. Ike" was cork o' the nra/d•,
The beau of Miss Nancy Estelle,—
As the beau of Hatfirina he'd always talk,
And don a most dignified swell;
He'd smile to young ladies, nod to old maids—
And think it "confoundedly flat,"
If no one world say, with a bow of their heads,
"Mat bercuttfa Panama hot,"
But ft is an old adage, I•ve often heard say,
And it fitted sir Ike to the letter,
In the course of events, •'every dog has his day,"
And the sooner he has it the better;
Mr. Ike then dons his dickey and vest,
With star-spangled banner cravat,
And oil' then ha goes, crowned iu his best—
Tbatbenntiful Panama hat.
13utlie It4l'nt gone far, scarcely a square,
All blooming as fresh as a lower,
When, alas! fate of fates! truth I declare,
His plumage Iras lost in a shower ;
His dickle returned n white cotton string,
His vest lost its border of plait,
And the ehimac was topped—a terrible thing

LOVE IN A PRINTING OFFICE.
I once heard an old Jour remark that
a printing office was no place for love
making, and I have since experienced
the truth or the expression ; being now
perfectly convinced that the flower of
love can never bloom in the midst of
type cases, and printing-ink.
It was my furtuna once to sojourn for
a few days iu the village of
Directly opposite the office was a pretty
white cottage, with a rose-bush clamber
ing aronul the ca,ictnent, and I was not
long in m•tking the discovery that the
aforsaid cottage with the rose•shadei win
dow contained a fair inmate—a flower
whose beauty outshone the roses that
eltutered around the window. She was
the belle of the village. Her name was
Mary. I have a passion for the name
Mary.
It was a beautiful summer morning,
and I had raised the window to admit
the breeze from the flower-decked fields,
and it was not king ere I perceived the
cottage window also hoisted, and the
sweet little Mary was sitting buisily en
ga,,ed with her needle. I worked but
a little that morning. My eyes constant
ly wandered toward the cottage where
Mary sat, and all sorts of fantastic no
tions whirled through my brain, and I
began to think I felt the light touch of
what the poets call love, lying in one
corner of my heart.
A few days passed away, and chance
made me acquainted with Mary. Oh !
she was a sweet creature; she had a
form that would shame the famous de
Medici—a cheek that flushed the rich
est peach, and a lip that would have
tempted a bee from his hive on a frosty
morning. I-thought, as I gazed on her
in mute admiration, that I had never
looked on one so ciquisitly beautiful:—
She seemed the embodiment of every
thing lovely and bewitching. Well,
time passed on, and Mary expressed a
desire to - visit the printing office. 'Good,'
thouget I, "what a chance! I'll have a
kiss there—yes, there, in the very im
plements of mine art—why shouldn't I ?
Love in a printing office ! Oh! there was
something original in that, and I resolv
ed to try at all hazzards."
Well, Mary came to the office, and I
explained to her the use of various im
plements of the black art—the press, the
roller, the ink and the stands, and- the
boxes of the A B C's. I took an oppor
tunity to snatch her pretty little white
hand; she drew it back and knocked a
stickful of matter into "pie."
"I must have a kiss for that, my pret
ty one," Said I, and at it I went I man-
aged to get my arm round her waist, and
in struggling to free herself, she upset a
galley of editorial, a long article on the
Oregon Question.
Nothing daunted, I made at her again.
This time I was more successfal, for I
obtained a kiss, by Saint Paul, it was
a sweet one, and that little witch bore it
like a martyr; she n3ver screamed once.
But as I raised my lips from her, she
lifted her delicate little hand - and gave
me a box on the ear that made me see
more.stars than were ever viewed by
Herschel through his big telescope.—
Somewhat nettled, and my cheek smart
ing with pain, I again seized her waist,
and said:
For the Spy.
"Well, if yon don't like 'it, just tale
back the kiss."
She made a desperate struggle, and as
jerked herself from my arms, her foot
struck the lye pot, and over it went.—
Another galley of' editorial sprinkle.)
over the floor, and in her efforts to
reach the door, her foot slipped, and she
fell, and in endeavoring to sustain her
self, her hand—her Lilly-white hand—
the same little hand that came in con
tact with my ear—oh ! horrible ! was
stuck up to the elbow in ink ! Shades of
Franklin ! She slowly drew it from
the keg dripping with ink, and asked
what use I made of that tar. I began to
be seriously alarmed, and apologized in
the best manner I could, and to my sur
prise she seemed more pleased than an
gry; but there was a lurking devil in
her eye, that told me there was mischief
afloat. As I stood there surveying the
black covering of her :hand, scarcely
able to suppress a smile at the strange
matamorphosis, she quickly raised it on
high, and brou..;ht it down kerslap upon
my cheek. Before I could recover from
my surprise, the same little hand had
again deceuded, and left its inky imprint
upon my other cheek.
"Why, Mary," I exclaimed, "what
arc you about ?"
‘.l think you told mo you rolled ink
rlM'eMtliValltrrsos e i: 7
with a loud laugh, and again her liana
lit upon me—taking me a broad slap in
the middle of my countenance, most
wonderfully bedaubing my eyes. With
a light step and a merry peal of laughter,
she skipped through the dour. She
turned back when beyond my reach, and
her roguish face peering through the
doorway shouted :
"I say, Charley, what kind of a roller
does my hand make !"
"Oh," said I, "you take too much ink."
"Ha! ha !" she laughed, "well, good
bye, Charley, that's my impression."
I went to the glass, and surveyed my
self for a moment, and I verily believe
that I could have passed for a Guinea
nigger. without the slightest difficulty.
"And so," said I to myself,-"this is
love in a printing office ? The devil fly
away with such love."
The next morning, when the editor
came to the office, I rather calculate he
found things a little topsy turvy. How
ever, that made no difference to me, for
I had mizzled before daylight. I bore
the marks of that scene many a'day, and
now, whenever I see a lady entering a
printing office I think of little Mary, and
keep my eye on the ink keg.
How Poetry
Bayard Taylor, in his new novel of
"John Godfrey's Fortunes," has a satire
on a woman poet, who held literary re
ceptions in New York, and entertained
her guests with accounts of her own po
etry and the way she made it: This is
her story of the "fine; phrenay of com
position :"
"I feel the approach of inspiration in
every nerve; my husband often tells me
that ho knows beforehand when lam
going to Write, my eyes shine so. Then
I go up stairs to my study, which is next
to my bed-room. It always comes on
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when
the wind blows from the south. I change
my dress, and put on a long white gown,
which I wear at •no other time, take off
my stays, and let my hair down my back.
Then I prance up and down the room as
if I was possessed, and as the lines come
to me, I dash them on the black-board,
one after another, and chant them in a
loud voice. Sometimes I cover all four
of the boards—both sides—before the
inspiration leaves me. The frail body is
overcome by the excitement of the soul,
and at night my husband often finds me
lying on the door in the middle of the
room, panting—panting I"

My DEAR MR. EDITOR :-I have bee n
to the country for some days seeing some
relations who have been pressing me to
give them the pleasure of a visit, and,
although I am soeiable because my hus
band says it is a duty to be so, still I am
glad I am back to an humble home, where
my dear good man makes everything to
look as bright as his own face. He is
before nie now, reading the articles on
the first and fourth pages of "The Inde
pendent, (he keeps the sermon till sab
now and then (as he used to dO at rue
when he was courting we) whilst I am
writing this article fur your paper. There
is no place like home, after all. But the
Deacon is my home. I feel I have shel
ter and food and happiness and every
thing, when I am near him.
But (and dear Mr. Editor I hope you
will pardon my repetitiousness, but how
can 1 help it ?) I did not mean to talk of
him, though I always get him mixed up
with everything, especially with every
thing good ; but I wish to show you how
he gets so much satisfaction out of that
good day which so many feel to he a drag
or a drug.
I think T told you how we began Sab
bath. Well I always get breakfast my
self. Indeed we do not keep any help.
•I am thankful I am still so young, if not
in years at least in spirit, (and dear Mr.
Editor, that is what makes age or youth,)
that I can keep our home myself, I do
not need any "help." I would not let
any "help" wait on my husband. No
one is good enough to do that but my
self. Our breakfast is very simple. Tea
and toast with, perhaps, eggs boiled 2.4,
minutes. We take three•quarters of an
hour to breakfast. Not that we eat all
that time, but take that time to say pleas
ant words upon pleasant subjects. My
husband says that cheerful innocence as
sists digestion; indeed, he, says, that
pleasant intercourse is a refreshment it
self. Some persons think they rest on
Sabbath morning by lying an hour or
two later, but my husband thinks that we
rest better by rising just as usual, but
taking a little longer time chatting pleas
ant things over our simple Sabbath break
fast.
My husband does not make Sabbath
morning horrible to our little ones by re
quiring them to say pages, word for word,
of catechisms. Not that he is indiffer
ent to catechisms. Far from it. He
thinks them the best compendiums of
religious truth which there are. But he
thinks the right way to get their truths
into the minds of tte young is to do so
pleasantly; he puts the truths of the
catechism in his own words, and illus-
trates those truths by incidents which
children can understand, and in this way
be has taught our Timothy and Eunice
all that is in the catechism, and has done
it 7.1 i sucks manner that they were hardly
aware they were learning the catechism.
He makes it light and pleasant to them.
He is so patient and persevering, but
covers it all with each a happy, hopeful
manner that our little ones aro borne
along without seeming to know it. He
excites their interest by showing his own.
I have sometimes thought ho was wiser
than Solomon when I have seen how he
suited himself to them, and was drawing
$2,00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE; $2.50 IP NOT PAID IN ADVANCE'
them on to be like himself. The dear
man, I see he has written an article, in
your paper, on Sunday schools, and that
is just like him. I would have known
he wrote it, ^wee if I had not seen his
good name, which I am so prodd to hear,
at the close, you know, dear Mr. Editor,
how dyes spread themselves all through
water. Well, my husband's spirit seems
to be like a golden dye, and it spreads all
through me and the children, and we all
seem to see only what is golden in the
Sabbath day.
Dear Mr. Editor, I enjoy this writing
so much, and I hope you do too, and so
I - send you this article, which I have
tried to make light and pleasant just like
our Sabbath breakfasts, and I hope that
your readers enjoy theirs as we do ours,
!.and Jam very truly your thankful cor
respondent.

The Employment of Time.
A TRANSLATION
In a christian plaint of view, time, t.
estate of God, has been loaned to us
Him, in order that we may gain the king
dom of Heaven. So from the commence
ment of christianity, the employment of
time has been strictly regulated by all
those who Wish to live agreeably to God's
will; and never has idleness been the
companion of the saint.
Time is also very precious in a Mere
human point of vie It enables us to
keep up wealth ; to acquire the capaci
ties and knowledge of which we have
need; to discharge in all their extent the
duties of that state in which we are
placed; and never, we venture to say,
will those duties be accomplished by any
person who knows not the preciousness
of time.
Daughters, wives, mothers, whatever
may be the good intention which ani
mates you, ualess you are avaricious of
time, never will you attain to the great
ness,of .our - obli_ tic , •.-I:Tite..A3a•s,-the.
away, and you will have accomplished
only the least part of your task, and you
will only bo. carried away with tardy ro
grets.
Without wishing to bind •our young
readers slavishly to a plan of life, we will
counsel them however,to make for them
selves a rule which may guide them, and
to divide the hours of their day so that
each of them has its labor,as well as rec
reation. Let the prayer, the study, the
reading, the accomplishments and the la
bors of the needle have their fixed hours.
Let the hour of rising be invariable, and
as early as possible; and the day will be
complete. In the :ivenirig when medita
ting upon the hours that have flown you
will not feel that insupportable regret,
that tormenting restlessness which idle
ness produces, that grievous scourge
which is followed by spleen 4nd the dis
gust of oneself.
Let us love order for God,since he has
displayed so much of it in his works; for
ourselves, since that is the way to employ
life, that gift from on high; and for
others, since that is the way for them to
be useful, and not to sojourn here below
without leaving one trace of their pas
sage,or a pleasant recollection after them.

To REMOVE PAIN.-Dr. Hall says
that neuralgia of the severest character
is sometimes removed by painting the
parts two or three times aday with a mix
ture composed of half an ounce of tincture
of iodine and half a drachm of the sulphate
of morphine. One of the most powerful
liniments for the relief of severe pain is
m ade of equal quantities of spirits of
hartahorn, sweet oil and chloroform; dip
into this a piece of cotton cloth doubled,
about the size of a silver dollar, lay it on
the spot, hold a hankerchief over it, so
as to confine the fumes, and the pain im
mediately disappears. Do not let it re
main on over a minute. Shako it well
before using; keep the Bottle closely
stopped.

An other miraculous escape from the
horrors of aetually.being buried alive has
just taken place in New Orleans. A
person by the name of Martin was sup
posed to hare died from disease of the
heart, and to every outward appearance
was dead. The attending physician had
given his certificate of burial certifying
to the cause of death, etc., and the sup- .
I posed corpse had been prepared, shroud
ed in the habiliments of death, and en
coffmed. Near and dear ones had shed
tears over the loss of one whom they
supposed dead, and whose body they had
carefully prepared for the silent precincts
of the tomb, when the fortunate thought
suggested itself that the body should be
embalmed. The necessary steps were
taken, the coffin carefully closed up, and -
the body sent to an embalming establish
ment adjoining Bell's Union tables, on
Carondelet street. Here the process of
embalming was in due time entered upon
It appears that in the process which pre- •
serves the body from immediate decom
position, the preserying quality is infus
ed into the system by means of an incis
into the main artery of the arm. The
incision is made with a ancet in the same
manner as in the case of blood letting.—
The embalmer had commenced his work - ,
by making the necessary incision ; and
to his surprise he discovered blood fee
bly oozing from the vein. He knew .
there there must be life where blood
would flow, and desisted from his work
of embalming. In few minutes 'more
there was a slight' motion of the boak;
and presently the Taal] in the coffin nude
an effort to raise himself, and with as:
aistanoe did rise and speak. Gentle res
toratives were administered, and ho was
soon able• to converse, and he desired to
knoir how it was that he found himself
in a coffin clothed in a shroud. The
matter was soon explained to him, his
friends to their joy were advised of what
had taken place, *ad he was sent to the
hospital instead of the grave, where he'
is now in a fair way of recovering.—
This is, indeed, a miraculous escape
from the clutches of death.—N: 0 Pio.
