The fields put on their verdure ; the small rills Dance merrily along with shout and glee ; The sloping woodlands, the uprising hills, Blue vale, gray rock, brown bush und emorald tree, . Taste the sweet influence which th« air instils; White snow-clouds in Heaven’s .unruffled sea, On their bright voyage from shore to shore, Like angel ships majestic sail and soar.

A Skbtch Fbom Life. Some months past, an advocate's clerk, placed in one of the first offices of Paris, and well esteemed by his employer, despairing of raising the means sufficient to purchase a study, undertook the adven turous risk of attempting to make a fortune in the new El Dorado. • “Now,” quoth he, “I have no longer need to marry an heiress, 5- and he addressed a young milli ner upon whom he had cast glances of affection for some time back. “ Now-you see me despoiled of all conjugal ambition; I will marry you willingly, could you prevail upon-yourself to venture upon the hazard of the journey?” ; u I accept,” responded the milliner, with an in trepidity belonging to her social intuition. . It was arranged that the young clerk, who had already secured his passage on a vessel about to sail, should start forthwith, and the joung woman should follow him as soon.as she collected her debts due and make a package of her worldly wealth. She thus avoided the embarrassment of a new establish- | ment in an unknown country, and'on her arrival, i would be received by her future husband and in stalled in a ready furnished lodging. The young clerk then departed s in advance, the voyage was prosperous: the deserter frum the no tarv’s office, contracted in resources, but filled with ; abundant expectations, landed on the California shore The greater part of his illusions were quickly : dispelled. He discovered the opulent country al ready cleaned out; that all the gold laying on the surface of the earth and concealed beneath the chrysial waters of the streams, had # disappeared; that the thousands of adventures who “had enriched themselves have left their successors a difficult means of support. There still remained treasures in California; great fortunes could be made in course of tirre; there, like elsewhere, tfcio rich gained most, and those possessing stiver reaped a harvest of gold. _ One of the richest settlers arrived among the first in California, discovered to the new cbmer the con dition of the country. * 6 “It requires twelve years of hard labor to acquire one quarter of what I have amassed in the first six. months from my arrival in this country. Thanks to a lucky commencement, my business arrange ments progress royally, and nothing is lacking to comp ete my happiness but a woman, acornpanion, .a wile 1” ' , . “ I dully expect one to arrive, replied the ex clerk, who started in affright at this new-subject of expen >o in a country where every thing is already 100 . 11 You are indued blessed,” responded tho Califor nia nabob. * A low days offer tho milliner arrived; tho nabob, .who was present at tho disembarkation, drew tho fix-clerk aside, and said to him—“ What will you lake to let me got married in your place?” / “ You aro doubtless joking ” '“Not at all. First listen to me and have the goodness to answer me. How much do you calcu late to earn in this'country? At .what figuro do you set down a fortune?” . “ I always thought that about ten thousand francs a year would suffice to create my happiness. Ten r thousand francs a year—that's the extent of my imagination 1” j “ I’ll give it to you.” “What say you?”- exclaimed the bewildered stu dent. “I,” resumed the nabob, “already have some mill ions, and I still desire more. Two hundred thous and francs are a mere trifle, and I am charmed to purchase a wife at such a price. You on your part will see your expectations realized, you can return to Paris, where you can find a number of damsels to take your pick from ” “ Yes, but my bride ll ” “ She will- accept,” responded the C alifornia na-- bob, with an air oNuperiority, the fact of his being the Crcesus of the country gave him. In fact milliner the acceded to the proposition. The-ex-clerk returned to Paris last month, he gave a sumptuous banquet to his ancient companions of the law to celebrate his happy consummation of fortune on a-.voyage to California. Have A Trade. By all means have a trade. Don’t go up and down in the world, and find nothing you can put your handsto. No matter it you don’t have to work for a living. You may not always be pros perous like you are now. This is a mutating plan et Thank heaven, we live in no primogeniture, no hereditary succession. Each man is morally bound to labor. Have a trade, we repeat Educate your hands. . The man that is up to-dajrmay be down to-morrow. Have something you can turn your energies to when times pinch. Be an everlasting re source. We never knew a man who, with a good trade, could not get a good living, and much more with a right application. What though you are going to college, or into a professsionl The case is not altered. You need it just as much. It will come-in play every day of your-.life. It is so much the better. Discipline of the hand should always go before that of the head..' .We never knew a.col lege boy who wasn’t better for a substantial trade. He always graduates with the highest honors.. He is sure to be a scholar. The 6tory is he knows how to work—to pore—to conquer. .He but transfers himself from tfee shop to the study. Young men, decide at once to learn, a trade.— Apply yourself with all ypur mind and heart, and be its master. And wh<2ji you graduate and ask your diploma, if you do not want, or are not obli ged to; : work, at it, you have laid by so much, and such a s kind of wealm can never be lost or taken from you. Trom tta* Ifubrill* OWE OF IHE SSAKE STOBHEB. Near fifty years have past since l was first lies d to cry—many changes have come over society since that time. Twenty five years ago it was not thought amiss to play a little innocent melt jor your own amusement on others. N<? one • du. ben .you with the epithet of- wag,” or thought you *hn the road to Jruin but he who c.ou!d bring the greatest fund of amusement,- to the circle in he moved, was ever considered a good fellow, lfre elder portion of-society would say ‘‘he is a smart , fellow, and if he lives, will make a great man. j- The order of the day was to “laugh and grow tat , be happy yourself, and make all arouad you In musing o'er my young, days, not long since, for something to amuse me, I found myself in yie midst of a “ trick ” I played a young room mate of mine. He was a lawyer by profession, talented, and occupied a very high position at the bar-j-of fine personal appearance, and noted for his inoral and physical courage—but he was awfully afriid of snakes. Whenever he went about in “ snake times,” he waß ever looking out for them. Qur room was on the second ’floor in the tavern, having - a floset in it-i-we slept together. When sleeping hour came be would strip to his linen, fall iq>a.nd having an easy conscience, would soon be fast asleep; he, always -slept behind. i One day, as I passed through the back yardHo the tavern, I saw old aunt Molly cleaning the bowels of a pig. Knowing Is snakes, I told aunt Molly, that I would-give her a hall dollar if she would clean about three or four of small bowels, tie it tight at one end, and having blown it full of wind, tie it at the other end, then take it to my room and place if in a pan.of water, and put it in the closet. „ j « You must say. nothing about it, aunt Molly I “Oh f no, Massa, not a word.” I handed her the half dollar,"and passed on. I On my return to my room, I looked into the closet and found all deposited by aunt Molly ;as directed, safe and sound. Night came on, and tfie usual bed hour found I in bed, and fast asleep. £ undressed, went to the closet, took out the gjut Irom the pan—finding it very elastic, and bearing much of the serpentine motion of the snake. I went to bed with it in my hand, and drew the sheet over us. I commenced giving I—— my first les son in the way of “ snake crawling,” by passing the bowel on his leg. I felt its convulsive motijm and withdrew it, for I desired net to arouse him too suddenly, butby frequent and slight touches to ejet him to dreaming about snakes. On the second application he kicked—l now desisted awhile, and concluded that I had aroused the nervousness ,of that leg so much that I would try the other, jit was evident, from his moaning, that “hn spirits were moved.” I now applied it to the other leg, and no sooner had it touched it, than he a tremendous kick and snorted. I now became fear ful that he would awake, and at once applied it to his back, giving it all the serpentine motion possi ble. With one convulsive bound, he cleared tie bed, carrying the sheet with him, and bawling it the top of his voice; “ Snakes ! snakes I snakes!” “ Where ?” said I. j “In that bed, you d n fool—get out, or you are a dead man!” - I Out I jumped, and requested him to run down and light a candle, (matches not then in use.) Off he went at-the. top of his speed, clearing several; steps at each bound By the time he I had deposited the “ instrument oi torture safe jin the paiLot water in the closet, and shut the door. He retiu-ned with the candle, and examined every part of Ihe room, but could find no Bnake. I per suaded him that he was dreaming, adding that dreams were as bad as realities. This satisfied him, and he returned to bed. j It was some time before he could sleep, and when he did, was quite restless. I could no: move but that he would kick.. At last he went freply into the arms of the sweet “ restorer,” an 1 slept soundly. I silently repaired to the closet —ob- tained my gut, and returned to bed. He was on his back, stretched full length with his leg 3 close together. I comtirienced ray operations by f assing ) the bowel up between his legs. He suddenly threw his head and knees almost together, no part touch ing the bed but a small portion of his batk-j-he. then landed in the middle of the floor on his hands on’d knees, shouting,— 11 Again ! again ! again I'Mand down he bolted forfanother candle. Before his return, the bowel was replaced in| the closet, the door shut, and I standing on the f.oor.— He examined the bed, but his actions showed jthat he was alraid to touch it. He then examinee every, part of the room, 1 but no snake was to be found.— As he approached the closet, and put his hanjl on the bolt of the door, he observed that it [was t> n strange, 1 ’ and opend the_door. He looked in, and then turning bis dark fierceeyeonme, qgain eyed the contents of the pail in the closet, j He then turned to me, grinding his teeth together, his face almost lied in a knot, ami his eyes darting fire. I felt condemned and absolutely alarmed. ,1 knew that unless 1 could give another direction, to his feelings, I bhould soon be knocked down, bit and gouged, (biting and gouging were all the Irage those days.) So soon as he could open his rmulh, there fell upon me a storm of imprecations, he looking like the devil, and I trying to apnetjr ns innocent as n lamb. My mind was busy about an expediment. When ho was about to lean me, I said; smiling,'and-in a gentle tone, “ Wj is sleeping in iho other room, let us huve sotnb fun out of him I” Ho caught- the idea, anif in nil in stant was harmless. ! He observed, “ how 1 M * • | I replied, “he sleeps soundly, and is hard to wake. You hold up his head, and I will tio' the bowel cravat lunhion in a hard knot around his neck. You then go down, wako up the bar keepeV, and stay there. I will get under the bed, on| my hands and feet, and with my back keep pushing up until he awakes.” “ That will do,” said he, “ come on!” This W— was a large, fat, fun loving creature, weighing about- 250 pounds. We passed on to W/s room, and had no difficulty in arranging the bowel around his neck. - I went down to the bar room, and I under the bed. I hunched, aijd he snored —I still hunched, but he still snored on with a snort. At length he snored milder and milder, under the frequent hunchings, and at last aliens quiet tor a moment. He landed out of the bed with a force that shook the building from top to bottom. To say he ran down stairs would be wrong, for he rooted, he tumbled down. I was close after him. He rushed in the bar room, yel ling “ help! help ! for God’s sake, help 1” [ As he entered, I—- asked what was the majtter? «i : ve got the gondest snake around my you ever saw, and I’ve got him by the head,” said he holding-the knot of the bowel-tightly grasped in his hand.* I told him to let go, and that he would run away. “ I'll be sneezed if I ever let go this holt, he will bite then to a certainty.” After enjoying ourselves with him for some time, the bar keeper, at W.’s suggestion, took a knife went behind W and passing the knife l between, his neck and the supposed . snake, cpt it t asunder. No one can imagine W.’s surprise, > he saw what was in his hand. At last he broke ■ into a hearty faugh, saying, “ Well, boys, I njever •, was so scared in my life ” | >' We all then enjoyed it, and the story supplied 1 the villagers with food for laughter for some, time; Hold Him Iw.—An editor out west acknowledges the receipt of an Beir-s-a fourteen/p'ourider, and a boy at that.

CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY «, 1851. JESSIE m I. BY JOHN CX.AKKZ; THE PEASANT POET. It’s just upon tho eve ef May, The shooting blades ol com Are hung with dew at early day, And green the hedge-row thorn. But those with me have nought to charm. Though such was all to me, When roaming round the lonely farm W here Jessie used to be;. For there beneath the wood’s dark hr >w Pro loTcd—and cannot leave her now. Without her, life seems all alone | , I scarce can bear its noiie My heart feel* heavy as a stone, And lock* up fancy’s joys. The sun; looks from the happy sky On the fields of wheat and corn; The skylark meets the light on high, And singing wakes the morn j . Beside the thorn and woodland bough \ I’ve loved—and cannot leave her now, We met on such a morn as this, . The sun looked o’er the hill» But years have crept ’tween that and this And I love Jessie still. The cows had found a snug retreat Among the sweet green corn ; I never found a morn so sweet Since first love’s hope was born ; We loved between the white thorn bough, So true —I cannot leave her now. A Letter to Country Clriu. , BY MRS. SWISSHKLM. Dear Girls: It is a long time since I have writ ten to you, and all this time you have been making your dresses just as you used to do, with a long seam under the arm. Now, it is not straight but in the form of an inclined plane, or what the carpen ters call a bevel, and pressing your sides in . the shape of a tunnel. Yon have all heard about the Greek Slave, and know it is a marble statue, to show a most perfect and beautiful form, and I wish you could all see it. The outsidei of the sides are two hollow curves, as graceful as the undulation between two waves, or the bend in a willow wand. Every one has a shape more or less like this ac cordingly as is more or less beautiful, graceful and natural; is it not singular that dfter.the Creator has given you .a form of beauty—or undulating out lines and graceful sweeping curves, you should set yourselves into sharp angles, and straight stiff out lines, with n'o more pretensions to grace than the sides of a duich churn? This you nearly all do, and you do it by the shape of that under the arm. You sew it in a regular slope from the .arm pit to the bottom ol your waist, and that as long as it can possibly be made. This makes the smallest • part of your body below the ribs—that is, you squeeze the muscles and flesh where there are no bones to resist the force, and so crowd the liver \hat it cannot act; and you grow yellow, bilious, nervous —ugly as sin, even in your laces. It is very strange that you can be so foolish—that any one can deliberately ruin their health for "he priv ilege of looking ugly. It does make me nervous to see a woman on the street with this tight place below her ribs, and her wagging like the limbs of a supple jack! I have grown so perfectly disgusted with this way pf making dresses, by seeing .great, ugly, ig norant, vulgar girls waddling among the and wash tubs, with their apron strings drawr around below their ribs, and tied until they looked like a bag lied with a cord in the centre. It is very strange that one driving pretensions to gentility— to say nothing of good sense—would be caught dressed in a way that .proclaims to every one her ignorance of-the la ws? of physiology —of the rules of grace and symmetry of Greece and Rome. I never see a woman dressed so, but the thought is ? “Wonder,, if that woman; can lt is a sign of ignorance, and nothing else can be urged in ex ; tenuation of such folly. Slow to tircat a Wife, First, get a wife; secondly, be patient; You may have great trials and perplexities in your business with the world, but do not therefore carry to your home a clouded or contracted brow. Your wife may have many trials, which, though of loss mag nitude, may hhve been as hard to bear. A kind, conciliating Word, a tender look, will do wonders in chasing from her brow all clouds of gloom. You encounter your difficulties in the open air, fanned by heaven’s cool breezes; but your wife is oflen shut in from these healthful influences, and her health fails, and her spirits lose their elasticity. — But oh! bear with her; she has trials and sorrow to which yo,u are a stranger, but which your ten derness can deprive of all their anguish. Notice kindly her little attentions and efforts to promote your comfort. Do not take them all as a matter of course, and pass them by, at the same lime be ing very sure to observe any omission of what you may consider duty to you. Do not treat her with indifference, if you would not seer and palsy her heart, which, watered by kindness, would to the latest day of your existence, throb with sincere and constant affection. Sometimes yield your wishes to hers. She has preferences as strong as you, and it may be just as trying to yield her choice as to you. Do you find it hard to yield sometimes?— Think you it in not difficult for her to give up al ways? If you never yield to her wishes, thero is dunger that she will think you ure selfish, ami care only lor yourself: and with such feelings she can not love ns she might. Agniu, show yourself manly ho that your wife cun look up to you, and loci that, you will act nobly, and that sho can confide in your judgment,— lJomc Journal 1 A Lesson For Cili’lH. An intelligent gentleman of fortune, says the Bangor Whig, ‘visited a country village in Maine, not tar from Bangor, and was hospitably entertain ed and lodged by a gentleman having three daugh ters —two of whom, in rich dresses, entertained the distinguished stranger in the pallor, while one kept herself in the kitchen, assisting her mother in pre paring the food and setting the table for tea, find after supper, ip doing the work till it was finally completed, when she also joined her sisters in the pailor for the remainder ot the evening. The next morning the same daughter was again early in the kitchen, while the other two were in the parlor.— The gentleman, like Franklin, possessed a discrim nating mind—was a close observer ot the habits of young ladies—watched an opportunity and whis pered something in the ear of the industrious one, and then left for a time, but revisited the same family, and-in about one year the young lady of the kitchen was conveyed to Boston, the ..wife of the same gentleman visitor, where she now presides at an elegant mansion. The gentleman, whose fortune she. shares, she won by a judiejous deportment and. well-directed industry. So much for an industrious young lady. Great Discovert. —The English Railway 1 Times has the following: The of water has at length been obtained, and that at a merely nominal cost, and with unerring precision. This great discovery, or iginating in Ameriga, has been perfected by the ex periments of an eminent German chemist, and pat ented in the three kingdoms by Mr. Shepard. The carbroetted hydrogen may be formed to any extent, which, while possessing an illuminating power equal to that of coal gas, is capable of being itself applied to the same purposes as steam at a remark ably high pressure. This gas is also capable oi [ producing an amount ol caloric equal to that of live coal, and consequently well and cheaply fitted to .act as a combustible agent in the conversion of '* water into steam. This tremendous pov.-er has 3 > been for some time engaging the' attention of our e > most eminent engineers, and. will, when sufficiently tested, be experimented upon before the public. If successful, as there is every present appearance of ™ its being, the revolution it must effect in the econ omic working 'of railways, and indeed in every branch of trade* and manufacture where steam is im employed as a motive power, is altogether incalcu “a table. It almost opens to the wandering-gaze the U.topian vista in which unskilled manual labor shadl be no longer necessary. It is sufficient for us, however, to state that several ol the leading railway ,y companies are in treaty with the patentee, and that, g. consequently,, if anything whatever is capable of • being made out of the discovery, the railway inter \t esjt will possess at once the first benefit and chief honor in itr realization. Early Life of Bishop Hughes. A Washington correspondent of the New York Son, writes as follows $ the eminent divine whose name heads this article: have recently brought to my knowledge facts connected with the former times of Archbishop Hughes, which going strong to il lustrate the lorce of fils character, can hardly fail to interest the general reader. A distinguished ger.tleman, now in this city, distinctly recollects when this celebrated, learned and powerful Divine, supported not only himself, but an aged .parent by sodding, planting and trimming gardens, in Cham bersburg, Pa, He has often seen him barrow, with rake and spade, from dwelling to dwelling, when engaged in this work, for which he was usually paid fifty cents per diem. John Hughes was one of the best Latin 'and Greek lin guists in America, when just entering upon man hood. Subsequently, he made,his'way to Emmits-' burg, Md., and entered into the service of the cele brated Jesuits’ College there as a grower of cab bages ! The institution, according to th‘e custom with the Roman Catholic Colleges in this country, has a highly cultivated small farm attached to it, and Hughes being employed as a laborer upon it, was placed in charge of the cabbage beds. On one occasion, seeing one of the lads of the Institution, puzzling over his* task in Cicero, Hughes requested him to let him look at the book, and asking him 1 to explain the meaning of a paragraph, to the as tonishment of the youth corrected hia reading.— He also disclosed to the boy in the same way the fact that he was a proficient, in Greek. Shortly'; afterwards, the boy stumped -on a lesson in Homer,, repaired to the garden and procured a translation, which when offered as his own, satisfied his tutor by the elegance and perfect correctness with which it was rendered into English, that it was not the. work of the boy. The latter was then questioned as to who had helped him on in the lesson, and surprised all by declaring that it was u only Johnny, the gardener lad.” Hughes was instantly summon ed before the faculty, who were incredulous as to the truth of the pupil’s story. A Prefect under took to examine him, when it turned out that he was by far the best Greek and Latin scholar in the Institution. With the capital judgment of those who manage the affairs of the Jesuits everywhere, John Hughes was instantly made to exchange his cabbage for the humanities, and at once became a tutor in the Institution. u This was .’the commencemenf of the super structure of his fortune and fame, the foundation being his native intellect and his energy, industry and probity, from his earliest infancy. He soon became the leading spirit, where he remained until his fame spreading through the country, his church authorities called him to labor in, the wider and more important field of the world. There are lessons in these extracts from the history of John Hughes, which youth everywhere may treasure in memory to its great future advantage]” Last Words of the Presidents. When Washington was 67 years old he laid uphn his death bed. “ I find lam dying,” said he; u my breath cannot last long.” And again ; “ Doctor, I die hard, but I am not afraid to go ; I. believed, from my first attack, I should not survive it ;-my breath cannot last long.” And so he ceased to breathe. More than a quarter of a century elapsed before a simitar scene was witnessed. Then, on the same day, the jubilee of the nation, Adams, at 90 years of age, and Jefferson at 83, came down to their last hour. I resign myself to God,” said Jeffer son, and my child to my country.” Soon after Adams exclaimed, “ Independence forever!” and all was over. They, too, had ceased to breathe. Five years .after this, at 71 years of age, Monroe ceased to breathe. 'Five years after this, af 85 years of age, Madi son ceased to breathe. Nearly five years after this, at 68 years of age, Harrison remarked : “ Sir, I wish you to understand the true principles of the Government; I wish them carried out; I ask nothing more.” And he ceased to breathe. • Four years after this, at 78 years of age, Jack son observed, in substance: “ My sufferings..though great, are nothing in comparison with those of my dying Saviour, through whose death I look for ever lasting happiness,” and he ceasqd to breathe. - In less than three years after this, at S 7 years of age, the second Adams declared : “ This is the last of earth; lam content.' 1 And he ceased to breathe. In a little more than one year after this, at 55 years of age, Polk bowed his head in baptism, con fessing his Saviour. And he ceased to breathe. The lamented Taylor, at 65 years of age, sub mitted to the solemn decree. “I am ready for the summons,” said he, *• I have endeavored to do my duty. I am sorry to leave my friends,” and he ceased to breathe. PaKBEnYiNG Cohn most Worms. —ln the spring of 1847, we plowed up one acre in a corner of u six acre meadow, which had been several in gi;ass, and the whole of which was much infested with cut worms and the yellow wipe worm. The acre was planted with corn, and totally destroyed by the wormß. Late the ensuing fall, the whole field was manured and turned over smoothly; f the spring of 1848 the whole was bowii with barley, which was very much injured by the worms—in many places entiraly destroyed. In September, it was sown with wheat with thosamu result ns with the barley. In tho spring of we manured it well with fresh barn yard immure, turned under; hurrowed ami marked throe feet and a half apart by two and a half and planted corn, four grains in a hill, the first of June, It came up in five to seven days, and is now a very promising piece, ns forward ns any planted the middle of May, The seed was soaked in a decoction of pound of tobacco in four gallons of water. There were plenty of worms in the ground, ns I found in plant ing and hoeing ; but they would not touch the to bacco scented corn, while there war not a single weed to be found;; and indeed they did no small benefit in destroying the grass- and weeds, j The field was kept as clean of everything but corn as it well could be. At the first hoeing I observed a large mullen plant, the leaves of which were eaten through like a riddle, and upon digging around it I found over twenty cut worms. —Albany Cultivator A FRAGMENT. j The storm was widening darkly o’er the akyj And terribly. The deep blue fields of space^ The glistening stars that for brief while before, Had hung o’er earth in beauty, pure, untainted A* angels’ joys, were veiled j' gloom unredeemed Fell thick o’er all below, and yet above, — Far, far above the clouds —that calm bright scene Unchanged, unchangeable, still stretched away In distance dim. Methought ’twas like the smile— The approving, smile of God, that still the same Hovers above the good man’s path, thdugh storms, Wild storms of dark adversity, and clouds Of unrelenting fate, should round him close And for an instant hide its soothing beam. H. E. Tub SusauxaiwiVA Raileoad.— The bill which finally passed the Legislature, ipcorporating the Susquehanna Railroad Company, to construct a railroad irom Harrisburg, or the .point of intersec tion of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Susquehanna river, was that originally introduced by Gen. Pack, er. In speaking of the enterprise, the Sunbwy American says: u The people of the Susquehanna are resolved to have a railroad up the valley of their noble j river, which will not only connect with the New! York and Erie Railroad at Elmira, but will be 'carried up the West Branch, and from thence to Erie.— We understand that a sura nearly sufficient to build the road from Harrisburg to Sunbury, is ready for the work.” ; The’bill contains authority for the company to build on either side of the,Susquehanna—the House amendments limiting it to the east side being re jected by the Senate, and .the House receding therefrom. The final voto on it iu the Senate was 23 to 3.

[July 30-20-tf NO other Medicine has ever been introduced to the public that has met with such unparalelled juccess, as Dr. Soule’s Oriental Balm Pills.—*• Having been but six years before the public, and the advertising small when compared with most other medicines, yet they have worked their way nto every State in the Union nnd Canadas. They have absolutely become the standard Medicine of the day. They are purely vegetable and so admi rably compounded that when taken in large dose* they speedily cure acute diseases, and when taken in small doses they operate like a charm, upon the most delicate, nervous female, and have raised numbers from their beds when all other remedies had failed. We here refer to but a few of the many miraculous cures effected by the use of said Pills.- Spinal Affection. —Anna Wood, of Rutland, Jefferson county, N. Y., Was cured, after she had been confined to bed 5 years, with Spinal disease and Abscess of the Lungs. The bill ofher regular Physician (Dr. Johnson, of Clay,) had amounted to ‘.5600. See circular. _ Scrofula and Nervous Debility.— Mrs.Down, of Clay, N. Y., was cured of Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility, and Scrofulous affection of the head, after tihe had* been confined six months and all other medicines had failed. Couoii and Consumption Cured. —Wm. Bentiy, of Pickering, C. W., was cured of a severe cough i.fter he had been confined to his bed for a long time, and was given up by the Physicians. He had I'scd most of the cough medicines of tho day, and was supposed by his frie'hds and physicians to be ia the last stage of Consumption. Dyspepsia.— A. B. F. Ormsby, of Syracuse, N. Y., was cured of Dyspepsia, so severe as not to be able to work for two years. Wm. Smith, of Greenwich, Conn., was cured o! s severe case of Dyspepsia, Costivencss and Nervous Debility, of years standing, after expending large Bums.of money to no purpose. See circular.
