ALL FOR MOIEI.

What a funny world is ours,
Very funny!
Full of sunshine, full of flowers,
Full of money ;
But the Inst is hard to get,
What a pity !
Many are in want of it,
In the city;
In the village, in the town-
Men are wandering up and down,
Through the valleys, o'er the hills,
Selling notions, vending pills,
And Ids land the farmer tills,
All for money,
That is funny !
What a funny world is ours '
Very funny!
Full of thorns at*l lull of flowers,
Full of money;
Moncv, MOVE v, is the lage,
"All are striving,
In this truly GOLDEN age,
To be thriving.
•Concert singers travel round,
Murdering all harmonious sound,
Dandies undertake to preach,
Rustics leave their plows to teach,
Statesmen oft will make a speech,
All for money.
That is funny!
What a funny world is ours,
Very funny !
Full of sweets and full of sours,
Full of money ;
Men for money toil and slave,
Ceasing never,
From the cradle to the grave,
Striving ever.
Priests and coblers take their tools,
Blessing, PATCHING up our SOULS,
Doctors either "cure or kill,"
Clerks will rob the merchant's till,
Tailors bring a WICKED BILL,
All for money,
That is funny !
What a funny world is this,
Very funny !
Full of misery, full of bliss,
Full of money,
Magic money ! PASSING strange
Is thy power;
Meu will change, but for CHANGE
Every hour.
Editors and printers toil,
Writers, sense and grammar spoil,
Teachers learn our boys to read.
Many men will shape their creed,
Lovers, lawyers, lie and plead,
All for money.
That is funny !

BENITED FELLF.R SITTYZANS—I draw
-de subjec ob my lectur disevenin frum tie
animal kingclum kum and 1 tend to inter
duce to you one of your oldest frens whose
name when you bar it will make your bind
tingle wid delite and your lips smoke wid
joy. You will no doubt recomlect scenes
in your past life, while huntin dis critiur,
dat will sharpen your appetite like degrine
stone; you muss all know by dis time dat
1 mean to 'lucidate de manners and kus
tums ob DE POSSUM.
De Possum am a animal de same as
man, and he hab a great many ob de tricks
ob man: one ob de tricks dal dey learned
frum man am de trick ob stayin out all
nite, for you muss noe, dat .Mr. Possum
sleeps moss all day, and den loafs "bout
in de lute time, derefore, dat am de reason
dat dey am hunted in de middle ob de
lute, jis like de ole koon.
De Possum am a kurious kind ob crit
tur, 'bout de size ob a koon only not half
so sassy, llis skin fits wid bout de same
titeness and grace as a bed quilt would an
empty barrel of flower. He hub got
pockets under each arm in he fur skin
obercoat, wliar he carries his young chil
dren, and it am a beautiful site to see de ole
one pretendin to be sleep and delude ones
all playin round, some wid deir beds jis
out ob de pockets, and odders climbin all
ober him, den if you want to see fun, jist
wissel fur a 'maginarv dog and see de way
dese little rat looking fellers will scramble
in de pockets, and see de ole one make
tracks lor de tallest tree he can find,
whar he am sure ob safety.
De Possum aint gof no feet, de hole
four extremities am hans; he back foots
am hans an so am he fore fools ; which
enable him to crawl up a small twine wid
de same ease and quickness dat he clime
up a tree. His tale am ob de greates use
to him, jis like Hoz's tales am to him for
he can hang by it and slepe all day, way
out on de end ob a limb, wliar de ban ob
sareltin darkey kant moless him.
You hub all heard, no doubt, ob de long
Yankee who hab such a big nose lie cood
hang it to de lim ob a cherry tree and
pick w id boll hans, but my stingy hearers,
tie possum kan do more, he kan hang by
liis tale, eat and Hie wid all fore ob his
hans; derelore, de possum have de "van
tage ob de Yankee.
Dar am a kurious ting conncckted wid
de mouf ob dis animal. It am shaped a
good deel like de little pig, but dat aint
nuiliin; be got ears too like de pig, dat
aint nufiin ; but de kurious part ob
mouf arn dis ; 011 he lower jaw he got jis
twenty-five teef, and 011 he upper one lie
only got two dozen and one, which 1 tink
fully 'counts lor de bitin an scralehin
pensity.
De Possum 'semble de darky in some
tilings. lie lubs young chickens jis like
de darkey, ami in order to Ylulge de ap
petite, lie w ill steel dem jis like de dar
key. In size dis animal am 'tween de
raekoon and de tomcat, in color Don
Dorety Dray, in specy possum, 111 dispo
sition womanv.
I hab dus lar spoken only ob de crittur
while he am alibe, but he is one ob dem
animals dat de deader be am de more useful
he ain to mankind. De poet aud de anther
are more 'preciated artur dey am dead,
and so am a hen, a hog, de bullock, and de
possum. Who in dis vast assemblage hab
not luxuriated 011 tic fat ob (lis chap nil lie
face shine all over like a glass bottle, and
bis nose git so greasy dat it coodent be

lucretive sport, and kan fooly testify to my
stounding nolage ob de cnltur 111 debait
Derefore I lebe de subjec wid pride and

LOVELY.—An interrogatory of silver
sweetness, and an answer of diamond
beauty, are contained in the following
method of getting to go home with her:
The moon shines bright;
Can I go home with you to-night?
ANSWER :
The stars do too;
1 don't care if you do!
' Pomp, was you eber drunk ?' 4 No,'
but I was intoxicated wid ardent spirits
once, and dat's enough for dis darkie.

gers in the world appeared to be splittin
wood in it!'
4 Mother, send for the doctor.'
4 Why, my son ?'
4 Cause that man in the parlor is going
to die—he said he would, if sister Jaije
would not marry him—and Jane said she
wouldn't.'
A young lady being asked why she did
not attend a party to which she had been
invited, replied—' I forgot all about it, and
ate onions for breakfast.'

Completely Cured in Three Days,
By Dr. J. W. Cooper's Vegetable Compound
Fever aud Ague Pills.
THESE PILLS are composed entirely of Vegetable
Substances, and in ninly-ninecases outof every hun
dred, will perform a perfect and Complete cure in three
days. No instance has ever been known, where more
than six days have been required to perform a complete
cure, even ill the very worst cases, and on the strongest
constitutions. We would earnestly say to all who are
afflicted with this distressing disease, to get one box and
try them, and in all cases, two boxes are warranted to
eure, if taken according to the directions, or the money
returned.
These pills not only perform a -ptrftti cure in three
days, but remove the bile and create a healthy iction of
the liver, and consequently fortify the system against a
future attack.
ALSO,
My Vegetable Anti-Dyspepsia Bitters.
This Medicine is a certain cure for Dyspepsia in its
very worst forms. Thousands of cases have been com
pletely cured by it within the last year, which have
been entirely despaired of by the regular family physi
cians. We do not recommend it to cure everything—we
recommend it to cure Dyspepsia, and .he d seases origi
nating from it, and that it will cure in almosi every case,
and it is recommended for nothing else. In many in
stances, even the worst of cases have been completely
cured in two and lltree months, but it depends somewhat
upon the constitution of the patient. We would say to
all who are afflicted with Dyspepsia, give this medicine
a fair trial, and if it fails to do good, your money will be
returned.
ALSO,
My Vegetable Worm Powders.
This is the most wonderful Worm Destroyer ever
known, and at the same time, so pleasant nytake, that
almost every child will be fond of it, and many instances
have been known of children crying for more after once
taking it.
This medicine is in the form of a powder, the only ]
medicine ever used in that form, and it operates on a
principle entirely different from any other medicine ever
administered by any other physician. It is the only
medicine which has no Worm-seed Oil or Turpentine j
combined with it, which is believed by all other physi
cians, to be the only two things which will destroy
worms, and these two things combined, togeiher with
castor oil, are the active principles of all other worm
medicines, which every person who has ever tasted or
smelted, knows to be the most nauseous of all nauseous
medicines, ami on account of which, there is generally
something added to destroy this nauseous taste, and in
order to do this, it must he something stronger than the
medicine itself, and therefore, it must necessarily destroy |
some of its medicinal properties. These powders are
simple and so harmless, that a child may eat a whole box
at once, arid it will not be hurt, while at the same time,
the principle upon which it acts being different from any
thing else ever used, it will destroy all kinds of Worms
with a certainty never equaled. It will not only destroy
the seat worms, or Ascarides, and long, round worms,or
Teres, but is the most effectual medicine for the destruc
tion of the Tape Worm ever known. Ten doses have
brought as many as FIVE Tape Worms from one person.
If yonr children have any symptoms of worms, try
these powders, and in nine cases out of ten, you will nev
er use any other. These are also warranted.
These medicines arc all separate, and one for each dis
ease, and each for only one disease. They are not re
commended, as many other medicines are, to cure some
fifteen or twenty diseases, and all of different natures,
but they ate each to cure but one disease, and ti at they
will do in ninety -nine rases out of every hundred,and
where tlicv have a fair trial and fail in all cases, the
money will be returned.

JOSIAH C. YOUNG, Dauphin, Dauphin county, Pa.,
in a letter to Dr. Jackson, of May 5,1651, said :
"For a long lime I was afflicted with general debility
and intestinal weakness, euetiveness, sc., for which I used
many different remedies, without change. At last 1 acj
cidentally stumbled upon Hoofland's German Bitters,
prepared by you. 1 took a few bottles according to di
rections, and was completely cured. I have not been so
healthy for ten years as I have been since I took your
bitters, which was about one year ago. Some of my
neighbors are now using them, and deriving great ben
efit."
ANOTHER LETTER,
From Dr. J. C O/LKS, Jfewton Hamilton. Pa , said:
'•I have used a half dozen of your German Bitters my
self, for I.iver Complaint and diseases of a nervous char
acter, resulting from the abuse of mercury. I was poi
soned and affected with spasms from the use of this lat
ter article, and your German Bitters was the first article
from which I obtained relief, although 1 have not >et
quite recovered. All who have used this medicine of
yours speak well of it."
DYSPEPTICS AND SKEPTICS, READ.
In three-fourths of the cases of diseased Liver, Stom
ach and Nerves, the effect of Dr. Hoofland's Celebrated
German Bitters, (prepared only by Dr. Jackson, at the
Medicine Store, 120 Arch street,) is as positive as in the
case of A. A. Kaufman, Esq. Read what he sans!
LANCASTER. April 30, 1830.
Respected Sir: 1 have been for a series of years afflict
ed with Dyspepsia, Inactivity of the Liver, and Nervous
Debility. My mental powers have been so reduced as
to render me quite unfit for the transaction ofany kind
of business. After consulting many eminem physicians,
and using their prescriptions, and after using the most
popular remedies of the day, supposed to be applicable te
my case, I always failed to have permanent relief. A
friend, with much persuasion, induced me to try a bottle
of your celebrated Bitters. 1 have used one bottle, and
this day commenced the second. 1 can with cheerful
ness state that it has happily improved me. My appe
titc and spirits have astonishingly improved,and 1 begin
to feel as though I had grown (suddenly) ten years
younger, and really, 1 am almost prepared to say that I
now consider myself calculated for any business, while,
ten days ago, 1 would have as soon undertaken to squurt
a circle as to have attempted it.
Yours respectfully, A. A KAUFMAN.
To Dr. C. M. Jackson,
120 Arch street, Philadelphia.
The Editor of "Scott's Weekly Paper," one of the
largest literary and family newspapers published in Phil
adelphia, says: '
"Dr. Iloofland's German Bitters, manufactured by Dr.
Jackson, are now recommended by some of the most
prominent members of the faculty, as an article ofmuih
efficacy in cases of female weekness. As such is the
case, vve would advise all mothers to obtain a bottle, and
thus save themselves much sickness. Persons of debili
tated constitutions will find these bitters advantageous
to their health, as we know front experience the salutary
effect they have upon weak systems."
That this medicine will cure l.tver Complaint and Dys
pepsia, no one ran doubt after using it as directed, "it
acts Specifically upon this stomach and liver ; it is prefer
able to calomel in all bilious diseases— the effect is imme
diate. They can be administered to FKM.U.K or t.\r ANT
with safety and reliable benefit, at any time.
Beware of Counterfeits!
This medicine has attained that high character w hi. h
19 necessary for all medicines to attain to induce coun
terfeiters to put forth a spurious article, at the riskof the
lives of those w ho are innocently deceived.
Look well to the Marks of the Genuine.

upon the wrapper, and the name blown in the bottle,
