is prepared from the liver of the Cod Fish for medical
use, expressly for our sales.
(Extract from Ike Loidon Medical ./our lull.)
"C.J. B Williams, M D., F. R. s., Professor of Mcdi
j cine in University College, London, Consulting Physi
| ciau to the Hospital for consumption, &c., says : I have
I prescribed the Oil in above four hundred casesof tubercu
j lons disease of the Lungs, in different stages, which have
\ been under inv care the last two years and a half. In
• ,he lar *e number of cases, 206 out of 234, its use was fol
lowed by marked and unequivocal improvement, varying
in degree in different cases, from a temporary retarda
tion of the progress of the disease and a mitigation of dis
tressing symptoms, up to a more or less complete restor
j ation to apparent health
I "The effect of the Cod Liver Oil inmost of these a—
was very remarkable. Even in a few days the cough
I was mitigated, the expectoration diminished in quantity
and opacity, the night sweats ceased, the pulse became
slower, and of better volume, and the appetite, tleah and
strength were gradually- improved.
"In conclusion, I repeat that the pure fresh oil from
the Liver of the Cod is more benefh ul in the treatment
of Pulmonary Consumption than any agent, medicinal,
dietetic ot regimenal, that has yet been employed."
As ice Aare made arraugrments to prornrr the Cod / iter
Oil, fresh from head quarters, it eau nor hi had ePrmi ally
port Ay the single bottle, or in boxes of one dozen each.
its wonderful efficacy has induced numerous > puriuus
imitations. As its success depends entirely on it. purity,
too much care cannot be used in procuring it genuine.
Every bottle having on it our written signature map be
depended upon as genuine.
Pamphlets containing an analysis of the Oil, with no
tices of it from Medical Journals, will be sent to those
who address us free of postage.

The Company add a BONUS at stated periods to the
insurances for life. This plan of insurance is the most
approved of, and is more generally In use than any other
in Great Britain, (where the subject is best understood by
the people, and where they have had the longest experi
ence,) as appears from the fact that out of ) 17 Life Insu
rance Companies there, of alt kinds, 87 are on this plan.
The first BONI S was appropriated in December, 1*44,
amounting to 10 per cent, on the sum insured under the
oldest policies ; to 8} per cent., 7 J per cent. Ac., Ac., on
others, in proportion to the time of etanding, making an
addition of <iHH); SB7 50; $75, tee., Ac., to every sl(K*i,
originally insured, which is an average of more than 50
per cent, on the premiums paid, and without increasing
the annual pay men! to the c mpany.
The operation of the Bonus will be seen by the follow

A PLEASANT SI R PRISE.
A young man, of eighteen or twenty, a
student in a university, took a walk one
day with a professor, who was commonly
called the student's friend, such was his
kindness to the young men whom ii was ;
his office to instruct.
AV hile they were now walking together,
and the professor was seeking to lead the
conversation to grave they saw a
pair of old shoes lying in the path, which
they supposed belonged to a poor man who
was at work in the field close by, and who
had nearly finished his day's work.
I he young student turned to the pro
fessor, saying, 'let us play the man a
trick ; we will hide his shoes and conceal
ourselves behind those bushes, and watch
to see his perplexity when he cannot find,
them.'
.My dear friend,' answered the profes
sor, 4 we must never amuse ourselves at
the expense ol the poor. Hut you are
rich, and you may give yourself a 11111011'
greater pleasure by means of this poor
man. Put a dollar in each shoe, and then j
we will hide ourselves.'
The student did so, and then placed
himself with the professor behind the
bushes hard by, through which thev could 1
easily watch the laborer, and see whatever
wonder or joy he might express.
'I he poor man soon finished his work, ■
and came across the field to the path, ,
w here he had left his coat and shoes.— 1
While he put on the coat, he slipped one
loot into one of his shoes; hut feeling
something hard, he stooped down and i
found the dollar. Astonishment and won- i
tier were seen upon his countenance ; he
gazed upon the dollar, turned it around and j
looked again and again ; then he looked
around on all sides, hut could see 110 one. i
Now he put the money in his pocket and j
proceeded to put 011 the other shoe ; but j
how great was his astonishment when he ;
tound the other dollar ! 11 is feelings over
came him : he It'll upon his knees, looked
up to heaven, and uttered aloud a fervent
thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his
wife, sick and helpless, and tiis children
without bread, whom this timely bounty
from some unknown hand would save
from perishing.
The young man stood there deeply af- :
fee ted, and tears tilled his eyes.
4 Now." said the professor, 4 are you not
much better pleased than if you had play
ed your intended trick V
4 O, dearest sir,' answered the youth, j
• you have taught me a lesson now that I

I uarcountablc Trick u Ith a Bottle.
The following singular feat was lately
performed by Professor Anderson before
Queen Victoria, during the festivities of
Prince Albert's birth-day. It is called the
'• Inexhaustible Bottle," and it was such a
bottle, sure enough:—On receiving the
royal command to perform it, the Profes
sor called for a champagne bottle, and j
handed a large number of glasses round,
and asked Lord Portman what he would
drink. His Lordship replied whiskey—
whiskey was poured out. .Mr. Anson
preferred brandy, which he got. Several
demanded wine, which passed freely, and
one of the proprietors of the royal distil- j
lery, Mr. Begg, thinking to bathe the Pro- j
lessor, asked him if he would give lum a !
glass of his best Loehnager whiskey. No i
sooner said than done ; and the Loehnager
whiskey became in great demand. A
large number of additional glasses were |
distributed, and some called for Irish whis
key, numbers brandy—the Highlanders
patronized Mr. Begg, and a noble lord
who was present, wishing to try the
wizard's skill, asked for a glass of rum,
which was immediately supplied, and his
lordship pronounced it excellent. The
London portion of the domestics and po
lice called for gin, which was freely poured
out of this extraordinary bottle ; and the
wizard was returning to his seat, when his
royal highness, anxious to test the bottle—
presuming, as he was returning, it was ex
hausted —asked if more could be poured
out. Glasses were brought to her Majes
ty and Prince Albert, and, on bring asked
what thev preferred, requested Begg's
best Loclinager, which immediately ran
forth, and her Majesty and the Prince,
tasting it, acknowledged its purity ; and
the wizard nave the bottle to the Prince
New Series—Vol. I—No. .
anil asked him to look it it was empty —it
was. Mr. Anderson brought some water,
and in the Prince's hand, filled it, ordered
glasses, and asked the Prince what wine
he preferred. Port was selected. The
Prince poured p>,t, and then sherry, then
milk, then champagne, then broke the bot
tle, and in it was discovered a beautiful
turtle-dove.— Caledonia Mercury.
| ' LAMENT OE THE IRISH GOI.D HUNTER.'
—A poetical miner thus writes in the Aha
! California :
" Tin silting on the stile, Marj,
Awny up in the mines,
A looking out for lumps of gold,
And pockets all I finds,
Hut the lumps I find are precious small,
And very few at that.
And 1 feel that I have been, Alary,
A most almighty flat.'
A flat he is, most decidedly, to be sit
! ting on a fence , 'a looking out for lumps
of gold—the lazy dog—let him get down
and take up 'de shubble an" de hoe.'
' AIODESTV to the female character, is
like saltpetre to beef, imparting a blush
while it preserves its purity.
! The above is only equalled by Ollapod,
; who says :
'Female lips are but the glowing gate
way of so much beef and cabbage '
Did any one ever !
A Locofoco paper says "the Whigs
now have to ply the laboring oar." To
which Prentice replies, "they are perfect
ly willing to do so, and they will ply it in
■j rowing the Locos up Salt River."

ODD FISH. —In all waters there are fish
| that love to swim against the stream : and
in every community persons are to be
found who take great delight in being op
posed to every body else.
OUR YOUTHFUL DAYS. —Youth never
! comes but once ! Hence we should, in
our youthful days, improve our time.—
The sun rises in the east, and rolls on in
his upward course until noontime, when
it gradually descends and hides himself in
the west. So with youth. I: rises in the
morning of life, and keeps rising until the
noontime of life, when old age, with all
j her infirmities comes upon us. The youth
should not undervalue their days, for the
day is coming when all this world's riches
would be given for the return of one hour
misimproved. Boys, do not mispend your
time, but improve even- moment as it flies,
and you will reap your reward hereafter.
BUR-BITERS.
Every community holds in its bosom a
species of viperous bipeds called back
biters. eaves-droppers, or slanderers, who
igo about doing evil continually. They
introduce discord where peace before resi
ded—they wake up ill-will between peace
: aide and friendly neighbors—excite suspi
; cion in trusting hearts, and substitute bitter
controversy for social amity and quietude.
They malign private character with impu
nity, because they are too cowardly and
hypocritical to make their assaults boldlv
aiui manfully, so that those whom they
traduce can have no chance to defend
themselves. They run up behind you and
strike in the dark, and then fly to elude de
tection. They put on great suavity and
friendliness to your face, but when your
back is turned, look out for them for they
will cling to your back like a rabid dog.
Avoid them as you would a poisonous rep
tile—refuse their company—and, above all,
do not admit them to your happy family
circle—do not induct them into your fire
side secrets ; for if you do, they will leave
the baneful stain of their footsteps on your
very threshold, and happiness will flee
before them as from a deadly foe. For
the love of peace, of order and of friend
ship, do not countenance their slanderous
imputations against your friends and neigh
bors.
GRAFTING. —It is often, in grafting upon
slender slocks and branches, very inconve
nient to attach and support a great lump of
clay, which, in spite of the greatest care
and attention, will either in very wet or
very dry weather, crack and fall away.—
Last spring 1 made trial of sheet India-rub
ber, cut into narrow strips or bandages,
from to 4of an inch broad, which I ap
plied to the graft—having first fixed the
graft with h.ust—and with success. The
India-rubber presents all the requisites
sought for in clay ; it is air-tight, and water
tight, and, moreover, it will not fall away ;
and it is elastic, which admits of the swel
ling of the scion in its growth, and it is ap
plied with perfect ease and quickness.
Wtcr wrapping the bandage round the'
graft and stock, as you would a linen
bandage on a cut finger, the last turn only
requires securing by tying with a bit of
thread or thin bast, and it has a very light
and neat appearance, when the operation
is completed.— The Plough', the /.com,
