He is a great friend to the cause, and a hitter enemy to ardent spirits is Benjamin Brisk, Esq., high shoemaker and cobbler general to the sole/ess inhabitants of Toppletown village, but Ben we are sorry to say, was not always so. There was a time when he liked his • tea' as well as the next man —to tell the truth, he did get ' beastlv' sometimes. Reeling home one night as usual, a little top-heavy; with gin, he blundered over every chair in the house? Well, Ben like you and 1, had a nose upon his face : and on gathering himself to his l et, he imagined that lie had clone bodily harm to his nasal projection, and that the red wine was pouring there in a perfect 4 stream.' Mo up went the window, and out went his head, it had been raining a lilde, and a small stream had been trickling from the eaves, and fell upon the pavement beneath him—patter, patter, patter—and Ben thought his nose was doing 4 the clean thing.' For the space of half an hour, he heard it distinctly trickling down upon the stones. He became alarmed. Still he heard it patter, palter, patter! lie felt himself growing weaker and weaker, until at last he sank down fully impressed with lite belief that he was bleeding to death !

The names of the p arty we shall withhold from the pub lic for shame sake. A little girl entered the tavern, and in pitiful tones told the keeper that her mother -had sent her there to get eicht cents. 4 Eight cents,' said the tavern keeper. 4 \\ hat does your mother want with eight cents ? 1 don't owe her anything.' 4 Well, said the child, 4 father spends all his money here for rum, and we have had nothing to eat to-day. Mother wants to buy a loaf of bread.' A loafer standing at the bar, looked first at the child and then at the tavern keeper, and said very gruflly, 4 d u the brat— kick her out.' 4 No, said the keeper, 4 1 will give her the eight cents ; and it her father comes here again I'll kick him out.' 4 AI.

No instance has ever been known, where more than sir days have been required to perform a complete cure, even iu the very worst cases, and on the strongest constitutions. We would earnestly say to all who are a'Hicted with this distressing disease, to get one box and try them, and iu all cases, two boxes are warranted to eure, it taken according lo (he directions, or the money rt turned. These pills not only perform a per/eft cure in three days, but remove the bile and create a healthy ictiou of the liver, and consequently fortify the system against a future attack. A LSO, My Vegetable Anti-Djrgfcpsia 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 i recommend it to core Dyspepsia, and the di.-eases oriei- i mating from it, and that it will cure in almost every case, and it is recommended for nothing else. In main in stances, even the worst of cases have been complete!, cured in two and three months, but it depends somewhat npon the constitution of the patient. We would say to all who are afflicted w ith Dyspepsia, give this medicine a fair trial, and ll it tails to do good, your money will be returned. ALSO, My Vegetable Worm Powders. This is <tie most wonderful Worm Destroyer ever known, and at the same time, so pleasant to take that almost every child will he fond of it, and many instances have been known of children crying for more after once taking it. 'litis medicine is in the form of a powder, the only medicine ever used iu that form, ami it operates on a prim i. le 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 combined with it, which is believed by all other physi cians, to be Ihe only two things which will destroy worms, and these two things combined, together with ; castor oil. are the active principles of all other worm medicines, which every person who lias ever tasted or suielled, knows to he the most nauseous of all nauseous med nines, and on accent of which, Ihere is generally something added to destroy ibis nauseous taste, and in order to do litis, it tniiei be 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 borf at once, and it will t.ot he hurt, while at the same time the principle upon which it arts being different from any thing els. ever u5,.,!, it will destroy nil kinds of Worms with a certainty never equaled. It will not only destroy tie* seat ivories, or Ascarid-*s. and long, round worms,'or : leres, hut is t tie most effect mil medicine for the destruc tion of the Tape Worm ever known. Ten doses have brought a> many as f 1 \ li Tape Worms from one person. It your children have any symptoms of worms, try these powders, and in nine cases out of ten, \ ou will nev- ' •r use any other. These are also warranted. '1 he so medicines are all separate, and one for each dis ease, am! eat h f.-r only one disease. They are not re- * . nmmended, as many other medicines are, to cure some fifteen or twenty diseases, and all of different natures, . hut they are each to cure but one disease, ant! that the\ ■ will do in ninety -nine cases out of evety hundred, and ' where they have a fair trial and fail in all cases, tin 1 money w ill be returned. ins.\v. rooniß s (Y!cbrated Wsrfablc Anti-Dysjcpsia Fills, A certain cure n r Indigestion, Debility, Sickness or I', lining iit ill- Stomach, I' in in the Side and Stomach, C wtirenees.

My appcj titc and spirits have astonishingly improved, and I 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, I would have as soon undertakenlo square a circle as to have attempted it.
