JIJA DEPENDS ON PURE BLOOD
Brandreth'sPilispurify t he Blood;
NJ) DISEASE: CAN 'RESIST TIIEIR JUDICIOUS USE!
. -- Mild °porn Lion with eitecrioLfuleffect are the peen
tiarity of Brentiretle,s Pills. -
nUlt.rare are sulliect to a redundancy of vitiated bile,
at this season, and it is as dangerous as it is prev
alent, but Brandreth's Pills afford an invaluable and
efficient protection: By their occasional nee we prevent
the collection of these impurities, which, when in stint
dent quantities, cause so much danger to the body's
health. They soon cure liver complaint, tlyspepsia ; loss
of appetite, pain in the heed, heart burn, pain in the
breast bone. sudden faintness and costiveness. In brief,
Brandreth's Pills work their way to the very roots of
the disease, cleansing in their passage, removing every
unhealthy accumulation tilt the blood is purified, the
whole system renovated, and the functions and duty of
life become a pleasure, where before they had been sad
and weary burdens. Often when nothing has relieved
vomiting of the most serious character, whether from
sea•eickttess or otherwise, where the retching bus been
appalling, a single dose of four L'randreth's Pills has at
once cured and the patient has fallen into a sweet sleep.
When the mind cannot collect itself; when the memory
fails; when it is an effort to fix the attention ; when our
skapis bruken and our waking hours harassed with
forebodings of evil,then Brandreth's Pills should be used.
If those warnings remain unheeded, rheumatism, con
sumption, disease of the heart, bilious affections, jaun
dice, dropsies, piles, appoplexies and costiveness will sud
denly present themselves. These Brandreth's Pills would
have preventcd,but nevertheless rn ass they will also cure.
Use them et once; do not let prejudice prevent the use
of this simple but potent remedy.
Brandreth's Theory of Disease.
Never extract blood. Mood is the life. By abstract
ing it in painful diseases you may occasion the patient
ease, but remember, this ease is only the reduction or
ilysseniug the power to feel. And by thus taking away
nature's tools, you may prevent her from fully repairing
t,he meagre of intiaMmation, s; convert what might only
have been 4,lte sickness of a few days or weeks into a
chronic affection of months and years.
Brandreth's Pills accord with Nature !
Nature's remedy in fact. When sudden, acute or con
tinued pain occurs from any cause, then to insures quick
return to health, you must use lirandreth's kills; which
wilt soon 'relieve every organ from undue pressure, and
remove those humors whose presence often occasions
such terrible suffering.

Improved Fire and Water Proof
COMPOSITION ROOFING,
HA R RISLIT.7IW, PA.,
'RESPECTFULLY inform the citizens of Rar
-13, risburg, Reading, Lancaster, Lebanon, and
their vicinities, that lie are prepared to put on
roofs on most liberal terms, and at the shortest
notice.
We respectfully call the attention of persons a
bout to build, to our invaluable method of roofing,
now much used throughout the principal cities of
the United States and their vicinities. This mode
of roofing having all the combined requisites of
cheapness, Durability, and Security against Fire
and Water, and dispensing with high gablewalls;
the roofs require au inclination of not more than
three-quarters (*) of an inch to the foot, and in
many eases saving the entire cost of rafters—the
ceiling joist being used.
The gutters are made of the same material,
without any extra charges', consequently, our
roofs are put up at almost half the cost of either
Tin, Slate, or Shingles. The material being of
an imperishable nature, it surpasses all others in
Durability ;—besides, in case of any casualty, it
is the most easily repaired of any other roof now
in use. Yet, the best proof we can offer as to its
being both fire and water proof, are our many re
ferences; to any one of whom we aro at liberty
to refer.
N. .13.—But let it be distinctly understood,
(sinco we manufacture our own composition, and
rlo the work in person,) that wo warrant all our
work proof against both Fire and Water ; if they
prove contrary, we will most willingly abide the
results.
The materials Wog mostly non-conductors of
heat, no roof is so cool in summer, or so warm in
winter. Those wishing to use our roof should
give the rafters a pitch of about one inch to the
foot. [nrcy 27,1954.-4 m.

Or on what soft, pillowing breast
Is the cherub form at rest,
That ere long, with darkened eye;
Sleeping to no lullaby,
Whitely robed, and, still, and cold,
Pale flowers slipping from its hold,
Shall this dainty coach enfold?
Ahl what bitter tears shall stain
All this satin sheet like rain,
And what towering hopes be hid

Scarcely large enough to bear

Round our pathway cast a„ gloom,

Weeping round its vacant place,
Cannot rise its path to trace,

A RIVER ADVENTURE
In the summer of 1832, I was engag
ed with a young man named Lyman
Kemp, in locating land lots along the
Wabash, in Indiana. I had, gone out
partly for my health, and partly to ac
commodate one who had ever been a
noble friend to me, and who had pur.
chased a great deal of government land.
At Logansport, he was taken sick, and
after watching with him a week, in
hopes that he would soon recover, I
found that he had a settled fever, and,
as the physician said he would not prob
ably be able to move on under a month,
1 determined to push on alone. So I
obtained a good nurse, and having seen
that my friend would have everything
necessary to his comfort, which money
could procure, I left him.
As good fortune would . have it, I
found a party of six men bound on the
very route I was going, and I waited
one day for the sake of their company.
At length we set out, with three pack
horses to carry our luggage, and I soon
found that I had lost nothing by wait
ing,
for my companions were agreeable
and entertaining. They were going on
to St. Joseph's, where they had land al
ready located, and where they had mills
upon the river, intending to get out
lumber, during the remainder of the
sew on.
Qn the third day from Logansport,
we reached Walton's settlement; on the
Little River, having left the Wabash on
the morning of that day. It was well
on into the evening when we reached
the little log-built inn of the settlement,
and we were glad enough of the shelter
—for ere we had fairly got under cover,
the rain commenced to fall in great .
drops, and thiCkly too. And more still,
had Ito be thankful for. My
,horse be
gan to show lameness in one of hiS hind
legs, and when 1 leaped from the saddle,
I found that his tout pained him much,
as I could tell by the manner in which
he lifted it from the ground. I ordered
•the ostler to bathe it with cold water,
and then went into the house, where we
found a good substantial supper, and
comfortable fur that section and that
time.
About ten o'clock, just after I had re
tired, and just after 1 was falling into a
grateful drowse, I was started by the
shouts of men, and the barking of dogs,
directly under my window. As the
noise continued, I arose,,and threw on
my clothes, and went down.
"What is ill" I asked of the land-
lord, who stood in the entry.way.
"Ah—don't you know, stranger 1"
the host returning. "You've heard of
Gustus Karl, perhaps 7"
Who in the west at some time, had
not heard of him 7—the most reckless,
daring, and murderous robber, that ever
cursed a country. I told the host I had
heard of him often.
"Well" he resumed, "the infernal vii.
Tian was here only this afternoon, and
murdered and robbed a man just up the
river. We've been out after. him, but
he's gin us the slip. We tracked him
as far as the upper creek, and there he
came out on the bank, fired at us, and
killed one of our horses, and then dove
into the woods. We set the dogs-on,
but they lost him."
"And you've come back hostless," I
said.
"Yes," the landlord growled. "But,"
he added, -with a knowing shake of the
head; "he, can't run clear much longer.
The country is in arms, and - he'll either
leave these..huntins, or be dropped."
"What sort of a.man 'Mite?" I asked,
"The very last roan in the world you
would take for Gus Karl. He is small
—not a bit• over five feet six ; with
light and curly hair, a smooth white
face, and not very stout. But, Lord
love ye, he's quick as lightning, and his
eye's got fire in it. He dresses in all
sorts of shapes, but generally like a
common:hunter. Oho ! he's the very
devil, I do believe.
After the 'tub full of whiskey. - and
water' whibh the host had - provided, was
all thank, the crowd began to disperse,
and shortly afterwards I went up again
to bed ; and this time I slept on unin
terrupted till morning.
I had just eaten my breakfast and-had
gone out to the front door, when a
horseman came dashing up to _ the place,
himself and animal all covered with
mud. It bad been raining all night.
The first thing the new comer did, was
to inquire for me. I anssvered at once
to the name ; and be then informed me'
that Lyman Ketiip could not live, and
that he wished to see me as soon as pos
sible?
"The doctor says he must die," said
the messenger, "and the poor fellow
now only asks for life long enough to
see you."
"Poor Lyman !" I murmured to my
self. "So young—so hopeful—with so
many friends, relatives in his far-olf
home—and taken down to die in a
strange land!" I told the man I would
set out on my return as soon as possi
ble; He ate some breakfast, and then
resumed his journey, being bound up
as , far as the Pottawatomie border.
I settled my , bill, and then went for
my horse ; but ,a bitter disappointment
awaited me. I found the animal's foot
swollen very badly, arid it *pained him
so, that he could hardly step on it. Had
the road been good, I should have been
tempted to try him ; but I knew that in
some places the mud would be deep.—
I went to the host and asked him if lie
could lend or sell me a horie. He Could
do neither. His only spare horse had
been shot the night before, by the Wa
bash
.robber. There Was not a horse in
the place to be'obtained for any amount
of money, returned 'to the stable,
and led' y horse out, but he could not
even walk with any degree of ease. I
could not use him. I was in despair.
"Lopkie," said mine host, as I began
to deepond, "can't ye manage a canoe ?"
"Yes—very well," I told him.
"Then that's 'your best way., The
current is strong this morning, and with.
out a stroke of the paddle, 'terould take
ye, along as fast as a horse c6uld wade
through the 'mud, You shall have one
of my canoes for just what it is worth,
and ye can sell it at Logansport for as
much."
I caught the proposition instantly, for
I saw that it was a good one.
• "If ye daren't shoot the'rapids;" ad.
ded the landlord, "ye can easily should
er the canoe, and pack it round.—
Tisn't. far."
I found the boat to tits a well fashion
ed "dug-out," large enough to bear four
men with ease, and I at once paid the
owner his pfice—ten dollars—and then
had air luggage brought down. .Igive
directions about the treatment of my
horse and then put off. The current
was quite rapid—say foot or five miles
an hour--but not at all turbulent—and
1 semi made up my mind that it • was
far better than riding on horseback.--
The banks of the river were thickly
covered with large trees, and I saw
game plenty ; and more than once-14as
tempted to fire the conteots.of - my pis
tols at some of the boldest "varmints ;"
but I had no time to waste, so I kept on.
Only one thing seemed wanting, and
that was a companion; but I was des
fined to find one soon enough.
It was • shortly after noon, and I had
just eaten my dinner of bread and cold
meat, when I came to a place where the
river made an abrupt bend to the right,
and a little further on, I came to an ab.
runt basin where the current formed a
perfect whirlpool. I did not notice it
until my canoe got into it, and found
myself going, round instead of going
ahead. I plied my wood paddle with
all my power, and soon succeeded in
shooting out from the rotary current;
but in doing So, I ran myself upon the
low, sandy shore. The effort had fa-
tigued me not a little, and as I found
myself thus suddenly moored, I resolved
to rest a few minutes.
I had been in this position some ten
minutes, when I was startled by hearing
a foot-fall close by me, and on looking
up t saw a man at that side of my boat.
He was a young looking person, not
over two-and-thirty, and seemed to be a
hunter. He wore a wolf-skin shirt, leg
gins of red leather,and a cap of hear skin.
"Which way are ye bound, stranger?"
he asked in a pleasing tone.
"Down river to Logansport," I replied.
"That's fortunate. I wish to go'there
myself," the stranger resumed. "What
say you to my taking your second pad ,
dle, and keeping your company ?"
"I should like it," I told him frankly.
"Iv'e been wanting company."
"So have I," added 'the hunter. "And
I've been wanting some better mode of
conveyance than these worn out legs
through the deep forest."
"Come on," I said, and as I spoke,
he leaped into the canoe, and - having de
.posited his rifle in the bow, he took one
of the paddles, and told me he was ready
when I was. So we pushed off, and
were soon clear of the whirlpool.
For an hour we conversed freely.—
The stranger. told me his name was Ad-,

some companions who had gone on to
Logansport by horse, and having got
separated from them in .the night, had
lost his horse into the bargain. He said
he had a great sum of money about his
person, and that was one reason 'why
he disliked to travel' in the forest.
Thus he opened his, affairs to me, and
I was.fool enough to be equally frank.
I admitted that -I had some money, and
told him my business; and by most
quiet, and unpresuming „course of re

Finally the-conversation lagged, and
I began to give my companion a closer
scrutiny. -I sat in the stern of the 'Ca
noe, and he was aboUi' amidships, and
facing niti. He was not a large man,
nor waslke tall. His hair wag - of a light
flaxen hue, and; hung , in long Curls about
his neck ;;his features were regular and
handsome; and his complexion very

And for the first time, too, I now look
ed particularly at his eyes. They were
gray ; in color, and had the brilliancy of
glaring ice. Their light was intense,
but cold and glittering like a snake's.
When I thought of his age, I set him
down for not much over thirty.
Suddenly a sharp, cold shudder ran
through my frame, and my heart leaped
with a wild thrill. As sure as fate—l
knew it—there could be no doubt—l

I knew I was not mistaken. P could

at length managed to overcome all
my outward emotions; and then began
to watch my companion more sharply
and closely: My pistols were both
handy, and I knew they were in order,
for i had examined them both in the.
forenoon when I thought of firing at
some game.
They were in the breast pockets of
my coat, which pockets had been made
on purpose for them, and 1 could reach
them at any instant. -Another hour
passed away, and by that time I had be

for worlds." ;.
"Oh !—you'llineet him, - ilever fear,"
said my companion.
Ah—he spoke that with too much
meaning. 1 understood it '•well. 1
knew what that sly tone, and that gleam
ing of the eye meant. He meant- that
he would put- me on the -road to meet
Kemp in the other world I I wondered
only now that :I had not detected the rob
ber when first I saw him, for the expres
sion of his face was so heartless, so icy
—and then.his eyes had such a wicked
look—that the most unpractised physi
ognomist could not have failed to detect
the villain at once.
During the rest of the afternoon we
conversed some, but not so freely as be
fore. I could see that the villian's eyes
were not so frankly bent upon ne es-he"
spoke, and then he seemed inclined to
avoid my direct glance. These move
ments on•his part were not studied,nor e
ven intentional; but they were instinctive
asthough his very nature led him thus.
At length night came on. We ate our
supper, and then smoked our pipes, and
finally my companion proposed • that I
should sleep before he did. At first I
thought of objecting, but a few mon - teats
reflection told me that I had better be

so I agreed to his proposition. He
took a seat at the stern, and I moved fur

thwart, upon Which my companion had
been spread my cloak in the
bottom of the canoe, and then having
placed my valise for a pilloW, lay down.
As soon as possible, I drew out one of
my pistols, and beneath the cover of a
cough,•l'copked it.,, Then I moved my
body so:that my right arm would be at

having entered it about three o'clock.
"You will call me at midnight," I said
drowsily.!'
"Yes," he returned..
."Good night."
Good night—and pleasant dreams.—
I'll have you further on your way 'than
you think ere you wake up again.
"Perhaps so," thought I to myself, as
Iloviered my head, and pretended to
lower myself. to sleep._
For half an hour my companionsteered
the canoe very well, and seemed to take
but little notice of me ; .and at the end
of that time I could see that he became

nerved himself for the stroke.

measured the distance from his hand to

he held a thick handkerchief, all wad

All that night I sat there at my welsh,

He had fallen with his knife true to its
aim, for he had struck very near the
spot where my heart must have been,
and the point was driven so far into the
solid wood, that I had to work bard to
pull it out, and harder still to unclasp
the marble fingers that were closed with
dying madness about the handle.
Swiftly flowed the tide, and ere the
sun again sank to rest I had reached Lu.

of Gustus Karl at once, and when I had
told them my story, they poured out a
thousand thanks upon my head. A,
purse was raised, and the offered reward
with it, and tendered to me. I took
the simple reward from the generous
citizens, .white the the remainder, I di•

I found Kemp sick and miserable.—
He was burning with fever, and the
doctorslad shut him up in a room where
a well man must soon have suffocated.
"Water! Water ! In God's name,

"Haven't you had any 7" I asked.
He told me no. I threw open the
windows—sent for a pail of ice•water,

from that time, he sat in his saddle by

I found my horse wholly recovered, and

adding one quart of boiling water. Let
the mixture stand twenty-four hours,
stirring occasionally ; then strain off
the liquor into a cask to every gallon add
two pound of sugar. Cork tight, and let
stand till following, October; and you
