Hen Brisk is now a leading member of
the Sons, and W. P. of a certain di
vision in the interior of Ohio. 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 ! He
slept till morning, and woke up a reformed
man —Xonpareif.

the follow ing :
A little incident transpired some weeks
ago at one ol our Frank ford hotels, which
under the present temperance excitement
is not unworthy of notice. 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 Well, how do you like your husband,'
said a lcmale fin ad to .. uuvvl, married
lady.
4 Oh, lie's a duck of a man,' replied she
who was enjoying the honey-moon.
4 A duck, eh V said the querist, 4 ah !
then I have been mistaken in my opinion
of his species ; 1 always believed him to
be a goose /'
WANTED TO SEE HIS FATHER.- —We
have heard that, previous to a recent well
contested battle, a young volunteer officer
asked leave of a certain celebrated Major
General to go and see his father, who was
on his death-bed.
'Go,' said the commander, smiling
sarcastically ; 4 you honor your father and
mother, that your daya may be lung in

mill's". PILLS are composed entirely of Vegetable
-4- Substances, and in ninty-niuecases out of every hun
dred, will perform a perfect and Complete eto-r in three
days. 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.

from the mucous membrane of the stomach of the Calf
in which various articles of food, as meat and eggs, will
be softened, chanocd. and dioeeted, ju*l ,n tie same man

case ot A. A Kaufman, ESQ. head what he sans I
LANCASTER, April 20, 165".
Respected Sir : I 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
1 to render me quite until for the transaction ofany kind
of business. After consulting many eminent physicians,
and using tln-ir prescriptions, and after using the most
popular remedies oflhe day, supposed to be applicable to
my case, I always failed to have permanent relief. A
friend, with much persuasion, induced me to try a bottle
of your celebrated Hitters. I have Used one bottle, and
this day commenced the second. 1 can with cheerful
ness slate that it has happily improved inc. 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.
Yours respectfully, A A. KAUFMAN

j " Dr. Hoofland's German Hitters, manufactured by Dr.
Jackson, are now recommended by some of the mo-t
prominent members of the ftcullv, as an arlicle of nun It
efficacy in cases of female Week ness As such is the
case, we would advise all mothers lo obtain a bottle, and
thus save themselves much sickness. Persons of debili
tated constitutions will liud these bitters advantageous
to their health, as we know from et|>erieiice thesalulary
effect they have upon weak systems."
j That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and Dys
pepsia, no one can doubt after using it as directed It
acts specifically upon the sluiuac h and liver ; it is prefer
able to calomel in all bilious dtsea. es the effect is imme
diate. They can be administered to FEMALE or I.\r ANT
with safety and reliable benefit, at any time.
Beware of Counterfeits J
j This medicine has attained that high character which
is necessary for all medicines to attain to induce coon
tcrfeiiers to put forth a spurious arlicle, at the lUUot the
