A Apeel for Are to the Sextant of the Old Brick Meetinouse. BY A GAsrErt [The following appeal to a sexton for pure air in the meeting-house should have a general circulation. The spelling is not very good, but the argument is irresist ible.] O sextant of the ineetinouse, with sweeps And dusts, or is supposed to! and makes fiers, And !ices the gess, and sometimes leaves a screw loose, In with ease it smells orful—worse than lampile; And wrings the bet, and toles it when mon dyes, To the grief of survivin pardners,and sweeps pathos. And for the sarvases gits $lO5 per annum, Wich them that thinks deer, let em try it; Getin up befoar starlit° in all wethers, and liindlin fiers when the wether is as cold AN zero, and like as not green wood for kindlins; I wouldn't be hired to do it for no some— But o sextant! there are 1 kormoddity Wish's more than gold, with doubt cost nothing, Worth more than anything exsep the Sole of 'Alan! I mean pewer Are, sextant, I mean pewer Are! 0 it is plenty out o dores, su p,enty it doant no What on airth to do with itself, but flys about Scatterin leaves and blowin off men's hatts ; In short, its jest "free as are" out dores. But o sextant, in our church it's scarce as piety, Scarce as bank bills when agents beg for misshuns, Wich some say is purty often (taint nothing to me; Vat I give aint nothing to nobody.) but o sextant, U stet 500 men, wimmab, and children, Speshally the latter, up in a mite place; Some has bad broths, none aint z swete, Some is fevery, some is scofilus, some has bad tenth, And some aint none, and some aint over cleen ; But every 1 on em breethes in .t out and out and in Sey 50 times a minit, or 1 million and a half breths an our. Now how long will a church fill of are last at that rate ? I ask you, say 15 minks, and then what's to be did? Why then they must brethe it all over agin, And then agin, and so on, till each has took it down At least 10 times, and let it up agin, and wat's.more, The same individible donut have the privilege Of brethen his own are, and no ones else; Each must take whatever comes to him. O sextant, donut you know our lungs is bellusses, To blow the fier of life, and keep it from Going out? and how can bellusses blow without wind, And aint wind are? i put it 2 your conschens, Are is the same to us as milk to babies, Or water is to fish, or pendlums to clox— Or roots and airbs unto an injun Doctor, Or little pills unto an omepath, Or boys to gurls. Are is for us to broths ; Wet signifies who preaches if I cant brethe ? Wats Poi ? Wats Delius ?to sinners who are ded ? Pod for want of broth? why, sextant, when we dyo Its only cause wo cant teethe no more—Chats all. And now, o sextant, let us beg of you let a little are into our church, (Pewer lit Is sortie prop Sundays liews,) And do weak days and ytew— ft aint much trouble—only make a hole And the are will come in of itself; luvs to come in where it can git warm;) -And o_bow it will rouse the people up, And split nit up the preacher. and stop the gasps And yawns and figgita as elfeetooal As wind on the dry Beans the Prthit tells of, Johnson vs. Johnson. Andrew Johnson, in his reconstruc tion veto, is shaken with the horrors be cause the measure disfranchises several 'thousand white rebels. On this subject let Johnson cope with Johnson. On the 21st of April, 1865, (six days after he was sworn in as President of the United States,) Mr. Johnson, alluding to the war for the Union, said to a delegation of his felloW citizens : "Why all this carnage and devastation? It Is that treason might be put down and traitors punished. Therefore I say that traitors should take a back seat in the work of restoration. If there be but five thousand men in Tennessee, loyal to the Constitution, loyal to freedom, loyal to justice, these true and faithful men should control the work of re-organization and reformation absolutely. I say that the traitor has ceased to be a citizen, and in joining the rebellion has become a public enemy. He forfeited his right to vote with loyal men when he renounced his citizenship and sought to destroy the Gov ernment. My judgment is that ho should be subjected to a severe ordeal before he is restored to citizenship." The patient of 1865 is the patient of 1867. Congress has simply administered a dose of Dr. Johnson's pills. Let not that distinguished practitioner go back on his own prescription. A Pleasant Church Incident. A little three-year old was being bap tized recently at a Presbyterian Church, in Newark, New Jersey, and after the sprinkling of the water, while the con gregation were praying, a drop of water that had been left upon the babe's fore head began to steal slowly down its face, a stray ray of sunlight falling upon it the while from a half open shutter, and caus ing it to glisten in its progress like a brilliant of the richest hue. Just as it was about to fall from baby's cheek to the floor, the little one made an impul sive effort as if to wipe it away, and the falling drop was caught upon the back of her hand. Speaking "right out in meeting" as the tiny hand was stretched _toward mamma,-she said,." See,.mamma, see! I dot'o baptize, an' I doin' to take it 'ome to dolly." Even the devout pastor was ill able to suppress a smile, and in the discourse which followed, the inci dent was illustrated, when ho said--our good deeds ever glisten in the sunlight of the Father's approval, and falling like blessings upon our little ones, are by them bequeathed to generations yet unborn."

A Sure Pre'ventative of THIS WONDERFUL REMEDY was discovered and introduced about Ist enty years ago by Dr. S. Cheopsits, an eminent Egyptian physician. He had long seen and felt the want of some reme• ay would strike at the root of disease, and so prevent, much of the suffering which the human faintly was then compelled to endure. The great queslioh was presented to his mind every day in vivid colors as ho moved among the sick and dying, and observed the inethcieney pf nearly all the remedies then in pee. Thus Tie lead to thinic and egperinlept: andaftcr ten years'of study and labor, he presented to his fellow-man the wonderful Zinger' Bitters. The offoeb of this prep: Oration in the prevention :Pia eure pf disease, Ivo so marvellous and astonishing, that the mast, fiat: tering marks of royal favor were bestowed Upon him who discovered it. Isis name was placed upon the Roll of Nobles, and a gold medal with the mi. Wiring inscription—Dr, Cheopsus, the Public Bette actor—was presented to him by the Viceroy. The preparation has beep need in several epidem ics of cholera, both as a preventive and Curative measure, and with such great success, That It hip been introduced into nearly all the general hospitals of the old world. The old saying that an mince of prevention is worth a pound of cure, applies With marvelous force to cholera, and therefore any remedy that wqj pr o , toot us against this terrible disease should be freely and persistently used. MI pathologists now agree that the cholera poison acts on the excretory organs, and keeps them in working order, Twist, provent a sufficient accumula tion of thn poison to egert jts terrible effects on the organism. This is true not only of el;olera, but of nearly all other maladies, especially the ttiffet•ont, forms of fever. The Great Zingnri Bitters is just such a remedy as the abwo conditions requite. Its acts on the organs of excretion and secretion 2 lcooping up a per fect balance between them.

Cured by "dishier's Herb Bitters When Mishler's Bitters were first intro duced to the public the propriotor did not feel justified in recommending it as a spe cilie for Cholera. During the fall of 1865, Dr. Mishler received the following note from Jacob L. Baker, Esq., of f.ancaster Pa., a member of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Mr. Baker had a great deal of experience in the treatment of Cholera is a druggist of sixteen years standing,was Hospital Steward in the Jefferson klospital, Philadelphia, for three Years and is withal a gentleman of undoubted integrity and one in, whose statement the most implicit confidence can be placed : Lancaster, ITovember 3d, 1865. Dr. r— Sir:—KnoWing that the Cholera with its dreadful ravages is now uponourthat no medi cine now in our country possesses such a l‘rishie land, knowing caloric influence "which is the vital reme dy for all diseases of •this kind," Bitters you now malting I request you to prepare such a quantit. of your hitter as would suit all demands,as the as I assure you they will be an invaluable remedy, and will be hailed as a blessing by all who will use it. 212,335,00 8,091,959,51 570,198,3( Yours respectfully. J<'-COB L. BAKER. Being thus urged, and having noticed the Bitters were constantly curing the most violent cases of Diarrhoea, Cholera Morbus and kindred complamts,Dr. Mishler at last offered his compounds us a cure for Cholera 'rho result has exceeded.his most sanguino e ß x a p k e e c r t a s t a i 3 o , i s i s i n m i l i c i l s fully note, justifies It certainly all that Mr. proves that Mr. Baker's practical knowledge of medicine far exceeds that of most doctors who too often dose their patients with de leterious drugs on some absurd theory.— For tho purpose of showing that lklishler's Herb Bitters will cure Cholera we give below a few facts. All intelligent persons who have investi gated the origin of cholera, agree that it is caused by poison introduced and generated into the system by impure water, damp ness, filth and over - crowded rooms with deficient ventilation. This is proved by the fact that cholera always rages worse on board of ships where all of the above causes are found more or less combined. To cure cholera, and also to prevent it,it is necessary to neutralize this position, and that Mishler's Bitters will do this is proven by the following : Tho steamship Virginia, arrived at the Port of isr.ew -York: about the middle of April with cholera a board a number of the passengers having died duri ng the voyage with this complaint. Among the passen gers were a family named Schmith, from Baden, Germany. This family was at tacked with cholera. Fortunately for them they had friends living in this city I an easier. Pa.,) who knew the virtues of Mish ler's Bitters and who procured a bottle and sent it to the Schmith family. When this package arrived at Quarantine the doctors examined it and confiscated the contents. Another bottle was procured and packed in a mono secure manner: it safely reached the Schmiths. On its arrival aboard the Vir ginia, Henry Schmitt) and Christ. Schmitt' were both laboring under choleric symp toms: Mrs. Marcia Schmith, wife of the former was very bad, not expected to re cover, and a son had died of the dread com plaint and had been buried theday previ ous. It was in this plight a bottle of Mish- ' ler's Bitters, sent forth like an Angel of Mercy found the poor Schmith family.— Henry Schmith was the first to try it, and so instantaneous was i the relief he experi enced that he gave tto his lyi fe and brother both of whom it at once relieved. They used the entire contents of the bottle and all three were so much relieved that the Physicians permitted th Ain to leave the Virginia,afier being confind at quarantine aboard that scourge ship forty-two says. — The Schmiths proceeded to their relatives in Lancaster, and at an early opportunity called 04 T ) F!Nishier to express their grati tilde for the timely relief they had found in his Bitters. Mr. Henry Schmith stated that all the compounds the doctors had given him died no good, but that one glass of Mishler's Bitters made him feel like a new man, warming his whole system, giving him a healthful heat and causing him to perspire freel y - • Ills stateMent was subst:LOtially was substantially abovix, * lid he further said that if the doc tors lit, not kept the first bottle from as given reachh , hint, his son would ety brve been living. - Mrs. Schmitt'. was still weak from the oft' • of cholera, but the continued use of th Bitters were. most surely restoring her a-customed vigor. It i not to be expected that regular M. Ds. will adlllit Plat any remedy not to be ci. found in the Dispensatory will cure Chol era or any other c omplaint, but candor compels Dr. D. H. Bissell of the Cholera Hospital ship " Falen" to admit that he . believes Mishler's Bitters to be I a " very good Tonic."

Tnis letter together with the statement Of the Schmith family—who while In the Steamer Vir ginia, were under Dr, Bissell's control, shows what the Bitters have done and can do.

The effect was instantaneous ; lief) a frlehdad)iii'nikarea heat was generated in the body, perspira gishler's tion was induced and after using one bpt tle Mr. Pearsol was entirely restored. misk-ler's Bitters cures Cholera by coun teracting the poison which is' the cause of the disease. Poison in the system,whether Cholera, enerated by bad air, filth, &c., as in Cholera, orintroduced by the bite of a venomous snake or mad dog will be ex pelled and all bad symptons allayed by the use of .fielder's herb Bitters.
