Notice to Distillers,
AND ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
NIETHEREAS, I, Jacob Weitzel, of the city of
Vl' Lancaster, coppersmith, have received by let
ters Patent, recorded in the Patent office in the city
of Washington, certain useful improvements in the
construction of Stills, which improvements consist
of an additional tub, called a dc ,z , ing tub, which
is placed partly above the still, , r which tub the
doubler is inclosed, the beer which is pumped into
the upper tub passes down by a plug pipe into the
doubling tub, where it is brought to a boiling state
before it is let into the still, which pipe is opened
or stopped when requisite by means of a plug made
of wood, copper, or any other material.
What I claim as my improvements are the above
described doubling tub and the plug by which the
beer passes Irons one tub to the other, or from the
tub into the still.
Having received infonnation,amounting to proof,
that my patent for the above described improve
ments has been violated by several distillers in this
county and in various other places; I hereby give
notice, that unless those persons who have made
use of my invention, or have it now in use, without
being authorized by me, come forward and make
full reparation for having infringed my patent right,

GIVE THANKS.
When softly came the wreathing Spring
To dance around the rosy ring—
And still to raise the early flowers,
The sky flung down refreshing showers,
The Lord was pleased to bless our land,
To scatter round his favors kind ;
Then praise Him for His liberal hand,
And all His mercies bear in min I.
When Summer came, with twilight eyed,
Her path a rainbow in the skies;
Her hands with fragrance dropping sweet,
And rose; gathered at her feet,
ie•brushed the blossems from the trees
And left the fruit unformed and bare,
To court the sunshine and the breeze,
And ripen in the balmy air.
Then Autumn claimed the sovereign
And swept the clustering leaves away ! •
Yet nourished still the branching root,
And filled the earth with ruddy fruit.
Then raise your fervent hearts to heaven,
Give gracious thanks to God above;
Who all these glorious gifts hath given;
And praise His mighty love ?
And also on the venturous deep,
•
Our God a watchful eye did "keep !
He bade the billows rage no more,
And brought our vessel safer° shore.
Then bless. Him for His Wondrous grace;
Give thanks for His almighty care;
And bending low, with veiled face,
Lift up the voice of praise and prayer !
Give thanks to God ! Glad homage pay '
He swept destruction from our way
He let no fell disease appear,
But bless'd us with a healthy year
Then sing loud praises o'er and o'er—
All honor to the Lord Divine
For he has overflowed our store
With waving corn and flashing wine
With reverent awe, and holy fire,
Exalt the heart and strike the lyre
Oh, sing to Him a sacred song,
To whom all sacred things belong!
With earnest soul, with humble voice,
We'll breathe our thankful prayers to Heaven
Praise our kind Father and rejoice
For all the thvors He path given!

PATCHOULI(;
Or, the Test bf the Lips
IZEIZIEI
It is known to all lovers of sweet aromas that
there is a very costly and fashionable perfume hear
ing the unseemly-looking term which we has e
placed at the head of our story.
But as much in vogue as this charming scent
now is, it is not a very long time ago it was first
introduced upon the toilets of the fair ladies this
side the Atlantic. Its origin is Parisian, and when
first discovered, its rare and delicate odor, with its
costliness, united it exclusively to royal patronage.
It is at this period that our story opens; the
scene, however, is not laid in Paris, but in Boston.
By a window in a drawing room of a handsome
ly furnished house sat a young married woman, her
cheek resting upon her fair hand, and her eyes fixed
upon a small parterre of flowers that intervened
between the mansion and the street. The roseate
glow of a rich twilight lent a glory to her brow,
which was lofty and very beautifully shaped. The
lady was dressed with simplicity and taste in white,
her dark brown hair bound about her head in a
graceful band of folds, with a tress or two falling
beneath the ear and resting upon the snowy neck.
Her beauty was without fault, save that her cheek
was something pale, and her looks disturbed and
She sighed heavily, and lifted her eyes from the
parterre for an instant, let them rest upon the
moulded arm which had supported her cheek. The
arm was bare in its loose sleeve and clasped at the
wrist by a bracelet of golden links. The shape of
it was incomparable.. A painter would haiie done
homage to its faultless outline. She regarded it
for a moment or two, and sighed heavily.
'What is beauty to me if it no longer binds Ed
ward to my side?" she said sadly. "We have been
but a year and a half married and already his heart
is estranged. His love is another's. He once
praised my arm and called it faultless. He once
called me beautiful beyond all my sex. He used
to tell me that one hour of my society was dearer
to him than years would be passed in the presence
of others. He said that he had no eye or thought
or emotion for any other. But now how changed
is his conduct from those protestations! I know
he no longer loves me. He caret but lightly for
my society. I know that another has taken his
love froth me. That love! Oh, that he had never
beheld her! Her dangerous beauty , had ensnared
him, and my power over him is . gone. At this
moment, instead of sitting here by my side or
walkinewith . me abroad, enjoying my society and
sympathizing with me in the beauty of the scenery
and of the hour, he is with her! Perhaps at this
moment she leans upon his arm, and looking up
into his face with her deep blue eyes, listens enrap
tured to his voice as he bends tenderly towards her
and discourses of love. That low voice which in
mine only to listen to! That arm which it is lily
wifely privilege to be sustainer? by at such an hour
and time!"
" Sister Clara V' said a voice near her.
"Alt, Frank, how softly you entered!'' she ex
claimed with surprise and a slight confusion.
"No. I came in as usual: but you were so much
engaged in talking to yourself that you did not re
gard my step. What is this Are you really
jealous of Edward?" said the young man, laughing,
as he threw himself upon the ottoman by her and
took her beautiful hand in his.
"I am not jealous, brother; but I do not like Ed
ward's attentions to Miss Lawrence?''
'Why, it is nothing, Clara. You know he was
at College with her brother, and they were very in
timate; .and he looks upon Emma only as a sister."
"No, Frank. He doesn't look upon her only as
a sister. His manner in her society is not the same
that it is in his sister's."
" What is it like then r_
"It is like his manner to me when we were en
gaged.... He regards her with the same expression
with which he then . used to look upon me. You
need not smile, Frank. It is to me a very serious
matter. lam satisfied that Edward loves Emma
Lawrence."
"Folly Emma, you know, is a clever girl. She
is very fond of literature, and so is Ned. She writes
poetry, and so does he. ,
"I know all that you can say, and it is these
very accomplishments which, added to her beauty,
have ens,nared his heart. Why should he so often
seek her society and leave wine? The husband's
presence will be where his heart is. Edward now
scarcely passes an evening with me:'
'Do you know that he passe:: them with herd'
"I am sure he does.-
Dd you know it. sis
- Where else should he go? Besides he is so con
,
fused ur else he gets so angry when I ask him. I
ant certain he passes with her more of his time
evenings titan he does with me.?
"Well, it may be. Emma is 'very interesting,
and I know that Ned delights in hearing her con
verse. Be assured their acquaintance is merely in
tellectual. Ned's heart has nothing to do with it.
I know he loves you. I couldn't be made to be
lieve the contrary. His attentions to you are as
lover-like now as they were before you were mar
ried. As to looks, he certainly never looks at you
without making love-eyes. The truth is, Ciara,
you are too monopolizing.. You are suspicions of
any other lady's admiration of him, and tremble if
he speaks in civil terms to any lovely girl he sees.
This active, wakeful, selfish love has annoyed your
husband, who has more than once spoken to me about
it. He is of a social turn and loves intellectual con
versation ; you know you are very taciturn and do
not call up the resources of your mind as you
ought to do. You read very little, while he reads
much. Great readers love to interchange ideas
upon books and authdrs. You care little for books,
and such conversation can never be lr.ng continued
between you. if Edward meets with a lady like
Miss Lawrence, for instance, in whom he discovers
a mind congenial in its sympathies with his own,
it is natural that they should seek au interchange
of the treasures of their intellect. This alone is
the basis of their friendship, and be sure you have
nothing to fear from it as a wife!"
It Emma were not ,o beautiful
-Your own beauty is his protection. His heart
will ever be yours." •
But Ido not like this close intimacy. It robs
me. It vexes me that she should share his society.
I envy her—nay, I almost hate her. I confess that
it is with difficulty I can speak to her with civility.
She seems to me as it she knew she held a power
over my husband.'
"This is all your imagination." Clara.
"Do you think it possible that Edward can be
so much with her and not feel a deeper emotion
than mere intellectual friendship' , She has
fasci
noting eyes and dangerous voice and smile for such
a susceptible person as he is. TI T was sure he
never took her hand when he was with her. I
shouldn't care much.-
"It would be no great harm if he
"I should never care to have him take mine after.
An intellectual conversation does not require that
the hands should be locked together."
Do you suspect him of this enormous offence'!"
You may ridicule me, Frank. But I don't feel
like smiling, I know he takes her hand. Last
evening, when he came in after nine o'clock, he
sat by me and lifted up my hand to his lips. He
seldom does it. lie then began to play wills my
lingers. and to admire and speak of their shape:
he would turn my hand over and then look at my
arm, all in such a way that I am sure he was men
tally comparing me with Emma Lawrence ; and
so, snatching my hand from him, I told him plain
ly if he wanted to dally witl pretty hands and
arms, he had better go back to the society he had
just left."
“What said Ned to that ?”
He blushed, was silent, and then laughed as if
he would treat the matier lightly."
"You take the course. Clara, to make him do just '
what you told him not to do. If you really think
your husband loves this fair girl, your proper course
should be to surpass her in attractions. In beauty,
beautiful as she is, you are her superior, in every
quality of the head and heart; you are her equal.
If you fear for your power over his heart, you have
' 1 only to rival her you fear is your rival. Read the
books he loves, and talk with him upon them.—
Study his tastes, and meet him with smiles, and
not suspicious looks. He sees only smiles on Miss
Lawrence's face. 'Let him see smiles on yours. It
, is no way for a wife who would retain a husband's
love, to make her face and herself as disagreeable
as possible. He will be sure mentally to contrast
it with the brighter face of her rival. She loses
by the comparison. The rival gains by it. His
affections are hardened by it. He is rendered indif
ferent and reckless as to your frowning, and, out of
opposition will perhaps give you the real cause for
jealousy. Ido not believe that Ned has either press
ed the hand or lip of Miss Lawrence; but I believe
; •
you could make him resolve to do both the very
next time he met her."
You are in conspiracy with both of them agaihst
"No, I any your friend, Clara, I know that Ed
ward's acquaintance with Miss Lawrence has been
honoMble. Did I suppose it to be otherwise, I
should be the last to defend him:"
"I do not doubt his honor; I do not question her
purity. No ! but if I knew that he had but kissed
her ; it would render me miserable."
"You are very foolish. I have seen Edward kiss
at least two young ladies in your presence."
"Those were my cousins, mid my particular
friends. I Solt mind that...
"Then I will tell you how to put this jealousy of
yours to death
" Make Miss Lawrence your friend. Seek her
society. Treat her with affectionate interest. Know
her good qualities, and you will love her. Once
you are good friends, you will no longer mind Ed
ward's attention to her, nor take it very much to
heart if he should kiss her. But as it is, you treat
her coldly, and he sees it, and sympathizing with
her, wilkbe sure to treat her the more tenderly to
atone for it. You make yourself see a bad matter
worse. :Make your rival your friend, and she will
then have too much generosity to suffer your hus
band to, take a liberty with her that he would not
take in your presence. But treat her as an enemy,
and you have no such protection from her gratitude,
and everything to fear from sympathy for her and
resentment at your jealousy. But I must go. I
have brought you this little bottle of Parisian scent,
that I by the merest chance succeeded in getting
before I left Paris. It is probably the 'only one in
America."
" Yes, it i 3 the most exquisite perfume in the
world. _du revoif ! To-morrow I will dine'with
you. Heed my advice, and be assured you will de
stroy all cause for jealousy."
" Now; said the jealous bride, as the door closed
on her brother, now I will put the test. I.know
that their meetings are not purely intellectual.
Emma loves him ; for I have discovered it also in
her looks. Never maiden loved her lo•'er more
than this beautiful, dangerous, talented girl loves
Edward.' I will think of what Frank has said, if,
after this trial, he proves innocent."

The following 'morning about eleven o'clock,
Emma Lawrence was prantising-upon her hare a
new piece of music, on the top of ivhich, in pencil
was written ‘ To Emma from E," A servant en
tered and announced' Mni. Cleves."
The lovely girl blushed deeply between surprise
and pleasure, and putting aside.her 'harp, arose to
receive her yisiter, who of late had been estranged.
Emma met her with frankness, and would havt
kissed her, but Mrs. Cleves slightlytkew back. The
interview was for a moment or two mutually em
barrassing. Emma had long felt Mrs. Cleves' cold
ness, and she hardly knew how to treat her. At
length Clara, glancing at her harp, asked her to
play. Emma, happy to have an end to the con
straint, seated herself by her harp and sang several
songs with exquisite effect, accompanied by the
rich music of the skilfully touched strings.
Gradually the restraint wore off, and they con
versed easily and cheerfully. Emma was delighted.
Clara was all the while envying her grace and
beauty, and trembling for her husband's loyalty.
She turned the conversation to Paris, and then to
her brother's return.
By the by. Emma, you are very fond of scents.
Frank has brought home one very, rare, that is only
in use with royalty. I have a bottle that Ica n
spare, and beg you will accept of it. It is called
by the odd name of Patchouly."
"You are too kind to remember me. 1300 can t
take anything so valuable from you.'
1 . assure you it would afford inn pleasure to re
ceive it. bliss Lawrence. Frank says it is used
only Inc the lips, to which it gives a charming red,
while it makes the whole breath as fragrant as the
perfume of a rose."
The gift was accepted, and the fair conapirator
took her departure.
=Ell
•I'he evening of the same day, Edward Cleves rose
from the table and took his hat.
" Where to-night, Edward ?"
I am going to walk, Clara."
To see Miss Lawrence, I dare say. I think
you had better divorce me and marry her at once."
"I shall not go there."
Will you promise me f"
No—not if you are so jealous as to make me
promise."
I have reasons to be jealous."
You have not. 1 have never said a word to
Miss Lawrence, or comported myself towards her
in any manner different than I should have said or
done in your presence. Yet you accuse me con
stantly of it. You will soon weary my forbear
ance, and I may do that out of revenge which your
suspicious are constantly charging me with. I shall
call and see her, Clara, and now! your jealousy
makes your society distasteful. Your beauty is
marred by it. You watch me with an active eye,
and mark all my movements. If lam ten minutes
from the post oifiea, that ten minutes you accuse
me of having passed on the way with Miss Law
rence. Try to make yourself as agreeable to me
as Miss Lawrence is, and I shall never seek her
society...or that of any other Person."
Thus speaking, the flirting husband left the room.

About hall-past nine the young wife heard the
footsteps of her husband. •
" Now I shall know;" she said, with feelings.of
painful triumph.
Good evening, Clara," said he, approaching her.
`• Good evening, Edward," she answered, rising
and kissing him on the lips.
" I am glad to see you meet me so, instead of
with reproaches."
" Reproaches do you not deserve them, sir?" she
demanded with vehemence : for she had detected
the aroma of Patchouly upon his lips.
"N o ra
How dare you answer me so innocently?
You have been to see Emma Lawrence."
"I told you I should go, because you were in
such a jealous mood.•'
Fine intellectual interview's! Very philosoph
ical, I have no doubt!•' said she scornfully.
" What is the matter?"
How innocent ! Pray which kisses the sweet
What do you mean?"
" I mean that I have found you out."
" 'Me?"
" Yes—xx!"
What have I done r
You have kissed Emma Lawrence !"
"Kissed her ?"
" I dare say you would call it extracting the dews
of wisdom from her lips!"
Upon my word Clara—"
" You may laugh. But it is true. You have
kissed her. Deny it if you can. Kissed her on the
lips tool"
The husband stood a moment in a state between
laughter and vexation. At length the former pre.
called, though he colored from conscious guilt."
" Confess it, Edward. Tell me the truth. I
won't bu uo angry."
"I will tell you the truth if you will tellme why
you suspect. -
"I do not suspect—l KNOW ! Am I not right ?"
Yes. But it is the first time. I did it out of
revenge upon you for so often having charged one
with it. I ask your forgiveness, as I had to do
hers. But now, how did you know it? Were you
peeping in at the window by some tell-tale crevice?"
No. I knew Emma was very fond of perfumes.
Frank brought me a new and costly one from Paris.
There is none like it in this country. I suspected
you. I made a present of it to Emma, telling her
it was used for the lips and breath. When you
kissed me just now I found your lips a.] fragrant as
doubtless her own were when yours met them.
This is the way I have discovered your treachery
to me. It has been, you will confess, a, successful
test."
The convicted husband laughed heartily at this
development orthe plot against him; and promised
his ingenious wife from that hour she should never
have reason to question the loyalty of his love.
" And I too, Edward," said Clara, "will endeavor
to consult your intellectual tastes, and so charm
you with society that you will never seek that of
Others for mental recreation; for you have been in
great danger. The love of the intellectual of beau.
ful women in a man of imagination may be trans
ferred to tlie person, and the friendship that had its
beginning in the head may end in the heart!!

Horse Story.
A jocose Boston auctioneer was called upon one
day by a country dealer from Vermont, who wish
ed to dispose of his horse. He was one of those.
distinctive characters peculiar to that section, with
countenance strongly indicative of simplicity and
shrewdness.
" I say," said he, " I want to: see the auctioneer
that auctions off horses here on Saturday."
" I'm the individual," said the auctioneer; "what
can I do for you!" •
" WelLI ve got a horse 1 waist to sell, provided I
can get enough for him; don't want nothing more
than his value neither. He's a good one, though
just now he's a lade thin ; but I reckon he ought
to sell pretty smartly."
Very good, will you have him advertised!"
"Well, I guess I don't know about that. What
do you ax
" One dollar first insertion, fifty cents for every
time aftet.
That's tew dollars for three times ; I reckon
that you may pmt him in the newspaper once, strait
ger, and after that let him slide
Very good, what color is he !"
"Rather brown than otherwise."
" Is he sound r'
•' Sound! Oh, sound as a dollar; shouldn't like
to warrant him, though."
"All right. I'll advertise and sell him on Sat
urday. Have tour," critter" at the mart by twelve
jes wan to tell, Mr. Auctioneer, I should like
to have the animal limited at fifteen dollars, but
you may let him go for live
"Exactly, and you won't take a great deal more
than is offered for him, will you r'
Well, no, I'm not dispositioned to be hard, any
how, I calculate' not:'
Saturday came, and one dollar and a half was
bid for the animal brought up by the horse dealer.
"Go on, gentleman, I have only one dollar and a
half bid for the horse; how much more do I hear f
One dollar and ; half—going, going."
"Sell him, sir, he's dying !" whispered the Vermont
horse dealer into the ear of the hammer.
"Goner shouted the auctioneer, and down went
the old horse at a dollar and a half.
After the sale the horse dealer was the first one
up at the desk to settle.
" Well, I reckon it won't take long to settle up
this little trade of Mine about the horse," said he.
Not long," said the clerk;' there's yohr account
of sale; you have just to pay us fifty cents mott
than the horse brought::
"Po-litical de-struction exclaimed the Vermont•
er, with a humorous affectation of astonishment.
Then with a satisfied manner, he. continued, "It's
cheap enough! Ther's a fifty cent piece. Cheap
enough! I couldn't gin him away at no price, and
it would have cost tew dollars and a halt to bury
I him. Jest half a dollar saved. Good morning,
Mr. Auctioneer Cheap enough!"
Colored Men in Paris.
Robert Walsh, in one of his letters, to Littell's
Living .fige, writes :
Our French paragraphists are not particularly
struck with the capacity of the negro race to main
tain republican institutions, as it is exemplified in the
monopoly of the products of the soil, and of all
traffic, internal and external, by the government of
Hayti. The black man—the true ebony—in the
delegation of the Antilles, who sits in the centre of
the Montaguards in the Assembly, was the servant
of a white general resident in the capital. An in
timate acquaintance of the master told me, a few
days ago, that the representative had not resigned
his domestic post,
.whether from personal attach
ment or prudential motives, he would deserve credit
for either. &gentleman of New Orleans, on a visit
to Paris, relates to me that, a fortnight since, while
seated in a side box of the first tiers of the grand
opera, he distinguished a colored family in. the one
; immediately opposite ; by his opera glass he dis
covered that the he - ad of it, whom he recognized,
distinguished him, and was about to come round
to hip by the lobby. A feeling natural to a
Southern American induced him to prefer that the
interview should not be in the box which he occu
pied. He met the visiter in the lobby ; the latter
grasped his hand, and reminded him that he had
been his tailor at New Orleans. , I retired;' he
added, " with a good property ; we are well settled
here; thata.my box, once a week; we shall be
happy to see you at our apartments."
Rebuilding of the Templet
The Jews, both here and in Europe, are just now
making great efforts to raise subscriptions for the
re-building of the Temple of Jerusalem, permission
to that effect having recently been given them by
the Turkish Government. The subject has been
in agitation in this city. of late, and at the Hebrew
Festival the other evening, at the Coliseum, it was
prominently discussed. Among the guests there,
not mentioned in our report of the proceedings,was
a Greek Rabbi, who comes here specially commis.
Sioned to raise money for the enterprise in question;
and we are told his errand, thus far, has beenpretty
liberally rewarded. The Rabbi goes next, South,
we are told, and, before going back to Europe, will
visit the Eastern States. However chimerical this
new movement may appear, to us there seems 'a
sublimity of purpose about it which must : claim
the respect, at least, if not the sympathy, of all
Christendom. —N K ,Ezpresr.,
Character of Penn.
NlAcA.uttr, in his new history, says of WILLIAM
PENN nations and hostile sects have agreed
in canonizing him. England is proud of his name.
A great commonwealth beyond the Atlantic re
gards him with a reverence similar to that which
the Athenians felt for 'rhesus, and the Roman
Quirinus. The respectable society of which he was
a member honors him as an apostle. By pion.,
men of Other persuasions, he is generally regarded
as a bright pattern of chrisiianyirtne.
Meanwhile, admirers of a veay different sort
have soundedhispraises. The French philosophers
of the 18th century pardoned what they regarded
as his superstitious fancies in consideration of his
contempt for priests, and of his cosmopolite benev
olence, impartially extended to all.races and .to all
creeds. His name has thus become, throughout
all civilized countries, a synonym for probity and
philanthrophy.
