Tell me that sweet story, unole, That you promised to relate, When together we were walking Down the garden to the Gate. It reminded you of something You had read of, or had seen ; Something pleasant that had happened, May be, when you saw the Queen. Then my uncle touohed hia forehead, As the thought he would recall, But he seemed to be oblivious, Could not recollect at all. In his books, and in his travels, Many a gate ho know indeed, But of one with a sweet story, Who could over hear or read. If I would permit a sermon, Haply soon the doubt should cease Lo, tho narrow gate of Virtue, And its pleasant paths of peace. Enter at the radiant portal, Happy ever maiden there; Flowers of truth forever blooming ; Life immortal iu the air. Shun the fatal gate of Folly ; Huin in her jewelled arm, c Sorrow in her gaudy bowers, Death in every seeming charm. Sampson andthe gates of Gaza, Too were an instructive tale, How a beautiful Delilah May o’er mighty man prevail. You may read in Trojan story, How a luokless gate they made, To receive the fierce invader, In a wooden horse conveyed ; Noblo and heroic Ilium, Thus to meet so sad a fate, For a fair but faithless Helen, Tempted from her husband’s gate. Shall I tell you of the Hurl gate, Fast by Manhatta’s shore; Or the gate of Eldorado, Wheuco they bring the golden ore, Or yon toll gate, whero tho traveller, Prinoo or peasant, still must pay ; E’en as all on life’s brief journey Weep their tribute by the way. Gates romantio and historic, Crowding all tho paths of time, Ever since the gatos of Edon Opened earth to love and crime. Gates of ca3tles, gates of dungeons, And the flood-gate at the mill; But the ouo with a sweet story, He could not remember still. Boeing then my disappointment, Undo seemed to try again ; Oh, ah, yea —a scene last evening, Might the mystery explain. He was sitting at his oasemont, Musing in tho Moon’s bright beam, When a footstep down the garden, Broke his meditative dream. And, said he, would you believe it, As I held my breath in chook, I saw Edward at tho wicket, With —your arm around his neck ! And ho whispered a sweet story, As he drew you to his breast, And, but hero I stopt my uncle, — And didn't tell the rest. From tho Southorn Literary Messongor. MY DEBUT AT THE BAR. My client was a respeotable butcher ; his opponent a well-to-do farmer. On getting to the court house, I found the oourt in session. The clerk was just read ing ■ the minutes. My case —l oan well speak in the singular—was the first sot on the dooket for that morning. I looked around and saw old Kasm, who somehow had found out that I was in the oase, with his green bag and half a library of old books on the bar before him. The old fellow gave me a loßk of malioious pleas ure—like, that of a hungry tiger from his lair, east upon an unsuspeoting calf brows ing near. I had tried to put on a bold face. I thought it would be very unpro fessional to let on to my olient that I was at all scared, though my heart was running down like a jaok-sorew under a heavy wagon. My conscience—l had not prac tised it away then—was not quiet easy.— I oouldn’t help feeling that it was hardly honest to be leading my client, like Fal staff his men, where he was sure to be pep pered. But then it was my only chanoe; my bread depended upon it; and I reflect ed that the same thing is to happen in every lawyer’s praotice. I tried to arrange my ideas in form and ex-eogitate'a speech ; they flitted through my brain in odds and ends. I could neither think nor quit thinking. I would lose myself in the first twenty words of the opening sentence, and stop at a particle ; the trial run clean out. 1 would start it again with no bet ter luck; then 1 thought a moment of the disgrace of a dead break down ; and then I would commence again with, ‘ Gentle men of the jury,’ etc., and so on as before. At length the Judge signed the minutes, and took up the docket: ‘ Special oase— Higginbotham vs. Swink; slander. Mr, Glendys for plaintiff, Mr. Kasm for defen dant. Is Mr. G. in court 1 Call him, sheriff.’ The sheriff called three times.— He might as well have called the dead.— No answer of course came. Mr. Kasid arose, and told the Oourt that he was sorry his brother was too much (stroking his ohin, and looking down and pausing) in disposed, or otherwise engaged to attend to the ease ; but he must insist on its being disposed of, etc.; the court said it should be. I then spoke up (though my voice seemed to me very low down, and very hard to get up,) that I had just been spoken to in the cause. I believed we were ready, if the oase must then be tried; but I Bhould much prefer it to be laid over, if the court would consent, until the next day, or even that evening. Kasm protest ed vehemently against this, reminded the court of its peremptory order ; referred to the former proceedings, and was going on to discuss the whole merits of the case, when he was interrupted by the Judge, who, turning himself to me, remarked that he should be happy to oblige me, but that he was precluded by what had happened ; he hoped, however, that the counsel on the other side would extend the desired indul gence ; to which Kasm rejoined that this was a case in whioh he neither asked fa vors nor meant to give them. So the case had to go on. Several members of the bar had their hats in their hands, ready to leave the room, when the case “was called up ; but, seeing that I was in it alone, suffered their ouriosity to get the better of their engage ments, and staid to see it out—a circum stance that did not dimish my trepidation in the least. " . / I had my witnesses called .up, posted my olient behind me in the bar, and put the oase to the jury. The defendant had pleaded justification, and not guilty. I got along pretty well, I thought, on the proofs. The oross-examinatipn of old Kasm did not seem to me to -hurt any thing ; though he quibbled, misoonstrued and bullied mightily—objected to aU my | questions as leading, and all the witnesses’ answers as irrevolant 5 but the Judge, who was a very olever sort of a man, and | didn’t like Kasm muoh, helped me along I and over the bad places, occasionally tak , ing the examination himself, when old Kasm had got the statements of the wit ness in a fog. I had a strong case ; the plaintiff show ed a good character—that the Lodge of Masons had refused to admit him to fel lowship until he had oleared up these charges; that the Methodist church, of which he was a class-leader, had required of him to have these charges judicially settled; that he had offered to satisfy the defendant that they were false, and pro posed to refer it to disinterested tuen, and j to be satisfied, if they decided for him, to i receive a written retraction, in which the defendant should only declare he was mistaken ; that the defendant had refused this proffer and reiterated the charges with increased bitterness and aggravated insult; that the plaintiff had suffered in reputation and credit ; that the defendant had de clared he meant to run off and buy his land at his (defendant’s) own price, and that defendant was rich, and often repeat ed his slander at public meetings, and ouce at the church door, and finally, now justified. The defendant’s testimony was weak ; it aid not controvert the proof as to the speakiug of the words of the matters of aggravation. Many witnesses were exam ined as to the character of the plaintiff; but those against us only referred to what they had heard since the slanders, except one, who was unfriendly. Some witnesses i spoke of butchering hogs at .night, aud ' hearing them squeal at a late hour at the plaintiff’s slaughter house, and of the dead : hogs they had seen with various marks, ■ and something of hogs having been stolen in the neighborhood. This was about all the proof. The plaintiff laid his damages at ten thousaud dollars. I rose to address the jury. By this time a good deal of the exoitement had worn off. The tremor left only gave me that sort of feeling which is rather favora ble than otherwise to a public speaker. 1 might have made a pretty good out of it if I had thrown myself upon the merits of my case, acknowledged modestly my own inexperience, plainly stated the, evi dence and the law, and let the case go— reserving myself in the conclusion ‘ for a splurge,’ if I chose to make one. But the evil genius that presides over the first bantlings of all lawyerings would have it otherwise. The citizens of the town, and those of the country then in the village, had gathered in great numbers into the court house to hear the speeches, and I could not miss such an opportunity for display. Looking over the jury, I found them a plain, matter of faot looking set of fel lows ; but 1 did not note, or probably know a fact or two about them, which I found out afterwards. I started, as .1 thought, in pretty good style. As I went on, my fanoy began to get the better of my judgment. Argu ments and. oouimon sense grew tame. Poetry and declamation, and at last pathos and fiery inveotive took their plaoe. 1 grew as 1 quotations ’ as Richard Swivel ler. Shakspeare suffered. I quoted among other things of less value and aptness, ‘He who steals my purse steals trash,’ eto. I spoke of the woeful suffer ings of my poor client, almost broken hearted beneath the weight of the terrible persecution of his enemy ; and growing bolder 1 turned on old Kasm, and con gratulated the jury that the genius of slander had found an appropriate defender in the genius of chicane and malignity. I complimented the jury on their patience, on their estimate of the value of character; spoke of the public expectation, of that feel ing outside of the box which would welcome with thundering plaudits' the righteous verdict the jury would render ; and wound up by declaring that I had never known a oase of slander so aggravated in the course of my praotice at the bar; and felicitated myself that its grossness and barbarity justified my olient in relying upon even the youth and inexperience of an unpracticed advocate, whose poverty of resources was unpaid by opportunities of previous preparation. Much more I said that happily has now escaped me. When I concluded, Sam Hicks and one or two other friends gave.a faint sigh of applause, but not enough to make any impression. I observed that old Kasm held his head down while I was speaking; 1 entertained the hope that 1 had cowed him! His usual forte was that of cynical composure, or bold and brazen defiance. It was a special kindness if he only smiled in covert scorn ; that was his most amiable expression in a trial. Bat when he raised up his head I saw the very devil was to pay. His face was of a burning red. He seemed almost to ohoke with his rage. His eyes were blood shot, and flamed out fire and fury, ills queue stuck out behind, and shook itself stiffly, like a buffalo ball’s tail when he is about making a fatal plunge.’ I had struck between wind and water. ! There was an audacity in a stripling like me bearding him which infuriated him. —He meant to massacre me, and panted to be a long time doing it. It was a regular auto de fe. I was to be the representative of the young bar, and to expatiate his malice against all. The Court then adjonrned for dinner. It assembled again after an hour’s reoess. By this • time the publio interest, and especially that of the bar, grew very great. Thero was a rush to the privileged seats, and the sheriff had to command order, the shuffling of feet and the press ure of the crowd forward was so great. I took my seat within the bar, looked around with an affection of indifference, so belying the perturbation within that the same power of acting on the stage would have made my fortune on that theatre. Kasm rose—took a glass of Water; his hand trembled a little—l oould see that; took a pinoh of snuff, and led off in a voice slow and measured, but slightly, very slightly tremulous. By a strong effort he had recovered his composure. The bar was surprised at his calmness. They all knew it was affected ; but they all wondered that he oould affect it. Nobody was deoeived by it. We felt assured that ‘ it was the torrent’s smooth ness ere it dashed below.’ I thought he would oome down on me in a tempest, and flattered myself it would Boon 'be over. But malice is oumting. He had no idea of letting me off so easily. “THAT COUNTRY IS THE HOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”- LANCASTER CITY. PA., TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 25, 1859. He commenced by saying that be had been some years in the practice. He would not say be was an old man ; that would be in bad taste, perhaps. The young gentleman who had just olosed bis remark able speech, haranaue, poetic offusion, rigmarole, or whatever it might be oalled, if, indeed, any name could be safely given to his motley mixture of incongruous slang—the young gentleman evidently did not think he was an old man, for he oould hardly be guilty of such rank indecenoy as to have treated age with such disrespeot —he would not say with suoh insufferable impertinence; ‘ and yet I am,’ he con tiuned, < of age enough to recollect, if I had oharged my memory with so incon siderable an event, the day of his birth, and then I was in full practice iu this court house. I confess though, gentle men, I am old enough to remember the period when a youth’s first appearance at the bar was not signalized by impertinence towards his seniors ; and when public opinion did not commend flatulent bombast and florid trash, picked out of fifth-rate romances, and nambypamby rhymes, repeated by the upstart sauciness of a raw popinjay toward the experienced members of the profession he disgraced. And yet to some extent this rantiog youth may be right. lam uot old in that sense which disables me from defending myself here, by words, or elsewhere, if need be, by blows ; and that this young gentleman shall right well know before 1 have done with him. You will bear iu mind, gentle men, that what I say is in self-defence— that 1 did not begin this quarrel—that was forced ou me ; and that I am bound by no restraint of kindness, or of courtesy, or of respect. Let him charge to the aocount of his rashness and rudness whatever he receives in return thereof. Let me retort on the youth, that he is a worthy advocate of his butcher client. He fights with the dirty weapons of his barberous trade and brings in his speech the reeking odor oMiis client’s slaughter Bouse. Perhaps something of this congeniality commended him to the notice of his worthy client, and to this, his first retainer ; and no wonder, for when we heard his vehement roaiing, we might have supposed that his olient had brought his most unruly bull-calf into court to defend him, had not the matter of the roaring soon convinced us the animal was more remarkable for the length of his ears, than the power of his lungs. Perhaps the young gentleman has taken his retainer, and contracted for butchering my client on the same terms as his client contraots in his line—that is on the shares. But I think, gentlemen, he will find the con tract a more dirty than profitable job. Or perhaps it might not be uncharitable to suggest that his olient, who eerns to be pretty well up to the business of ‘ saving other peoples’ baoon,’ may have desired, as far as possible, to save his own ; and, therefore, turning from the members of the bar who would have oharged him for their services aooording to their value, took this oooasion of getting off some of his stale wares ; for has not Shakspeare said—the gentleman will allow mo to quote Shakspeare, too, while yet his reputation survives his barbarous mouthing of the poet’s words—he knew an attorney ‘ who would defend a oause for a starved hen, or a leg of mutton fly blown.’ I trust, however, whatever was the contract, the gentleman will make his equally worthy olient stand up to it; for I should like that on one oooasion it might be said the excellent butoher was made to pay for his swine. I find it difficult, gentlemen, to reply to any part of this young man’s effort, except his argument, whioh is the-smallest part in compass, and next to his pathos, the most amusing. His figures of speech are some of them, quite good, and have been so considered by the best judges for the last thousand years. I must confess that, as to these, I find no fault than they were badly applied and ridiculously pronounoed; and this further fault, that they have beoome so common-place by constant use, that unless some new vamping or felicity of application be given them, they tire nearly as muoh as his original matter— videlicet, that matter which being more ridiculous than we have ever heard before, carries internal evidence of its being his own. Indeed, it was never hard to tall when the gentleman recurred to his own ideas. He is like a cat-bird—the only intolerable discord she makes being her own notes; though she gets on well enough as long as she copies and cobbles the songs of other warblers. But, gentlemen, if this young orator’s argument was amusing, what shail I say of his pathos ? What farce ever equalled the fun of it ? The play of ‘ The Liar ’ probably approaches nearest to it—not only in the humor, but in the veracious character of the incident from whioh tke humor comes. Such farce—so woe-begone, ko~ whimpering, as if the short period sinoe he was flogged at Bohool (probably in reference to those eggs falsely charged to the hound-puppy), had neither obliter ated the remembrance of his juvenile affliction, or the looks he bore when he endured it. There was something so exquisite in tljis picture of the woes, the wasting grief of his disconsolate client, the butcher, Higginbotham, mourning as Rachel mourned for her children—for his charac ter, because it was not. Gentlemen, look at him! He weighs twelve stone now.— He has three inches of fat on his ribs this minute. He would make as many links of sausage as any hog that ever squealed at midnight in his «laughter pen, and has lard enough in him to cook it all. Look at his face! Why his chops remind a hungry man of jowls and greens. If this is a shadow, in the name of propriety, why didn’t he show himself, when in flesh, at the last fair beside the Kentucky ox ; that were a more honest way of making a living than stealing hogs. But Higgin botham is pining in grief 1 I wonder the poetio youth, his learned counsel, did not quote Shakespeare again. He never told his woes, but ‘ let concealment, like the worm in the bud, prey upon his damask oheek.’ He looked like patience on a monument smiling at grief—or at beef, I should rather say. But, gentlemen, prob ably I am wrong; “*?t may be that this tender-hearted, sensitive butoher was lean before, and, like Falstaff, throws the blame of his fat on sorrow and sighing, which ‘ has puffed him up like a bladder.’— (Here Higginbotham left in disgust.) There, gentlemen, he goes, ‘ larding the lean earth as he goes along.’ Well has Dr. Johnson said, ‘ Who kills fat oxen should : himself be fat.’ Poor Hig! staffed like one of his own blood puddings with a dropsioal grief whioh nothing short of ten thousand dollars of Swink’s money oan oure. Well, as grief puffs him up, I don’t wonder that nothing bat depleting another man oan cure him. Aud now, geDtlemen, I come to the blood and thunder part of this young gentleman’s harangue, empty and vapid words, and nothing else. If any part, of his rigmarole was windier than any other part, this was it. He turned him self into a small cascade, making a great deal of noise to make a great deal of froth; tumbling, roaring, foaming; the shallower it run, all the noisier it seemed. He fretted and knitted his brow ; he beat the air, and he vociferated, always empha sizing the meaningless words most loudly ; he puffed, swelled out, blowed off until he seemed like a new bellows, all brass and wind. How he mouthed it—as those villainous Btage players, ranting out fustian in a barn, theatre mimicing—‘ Who steals my purse steals trash.’ (I don't deny it.) ‘ ’Tis something,’ (query ?) 1 nothing ’ j exactly. ‘ ’Tis mine ; ’twas his, and has j been slave to thousands—but he who ’ filches from me my good name, robs me of that which not enrieheth him,’ (not in the least) ‘ but makes me poor indeed,’ (just bo, but whether any poorer than before he parted with the encumbrance is another matter.) But the young gentleman refers to his youth. He ought , not to reproach us of maturer age in that indirect way ; no one would have suspected it of him, or him of it, if he had not told it; indeed, from heariog him speak, we were prepared to give him fcredit for almost any length of ears. But does not the youth remember that Grotius was only seventeen when he was in full practice, and that he was at torney general at twenty-two ; and what is Grotius to this greater light! Not the burning of my smoke house to the confla gration of Moscow! And yet young Grotius tells' us in the next breath that he never knew suoh a slander in the course of his praotioe ! Wonderful indeed ! seeing that his prac tice has all been done within the last six hours. Why, to hear him talk, you would suppose he was an old Continental lawyer grown gray in the service. H-i-8 p-r-a-c -t-i-c-e! Why, he’s just in his legal swaddling clothes ! His practice ! But I don’t wonder he don’t see the absurdity of such talk. How long does it take one of the canine tribe, after birth, to open its eyes 1 He talked, too, of outside influence ; of the public expectations, and all that sort of demagogueism, 1 observed no evidence of any popular demonstrations in his favor, unless it be a tailor I saw stamping his feet; but whether that was beoause he had sat cross-legged so long he wanted exercise, or was rejoicing because he had got orders for a new or a prospect of payment for an old one, the gentleman oan probably tell better than I oan. (Here Hicks left.) However, if this oase is to be deoided here, the gentleman will allow me the beuefic of a writ of error to the regimental muster to be held next Friday at Reinhart’s distillery. But I suppose he meant to frighten you into a verdict by intimating that the mob, frenzied by his eloquence, would tear you in pieces if you gave a verdict for defen dant ; like the equally eloquent barrister out West, who, ooncludiog a case, said, ‘ Gentlemen, my client is as innqpent of stealing that ootting as the setting sun at noon-day, and if you give in agin him his brother, Sam Kotchius, next muster will maul every mother’s son of you.’ I hope the sheriff will see to his duty, and keep the orowd from you, gentlemen, if you should give us a verdict! But, gentlemen, I am tired of- winnow ing chaff; I have not had the reward paid by Gratiano for sifting his discourse—two grains of wheat to the bushel. It is all froth, all wind, all bubble!’ Kasm left me here for a time, and turned upon my client. Poor Higgin botham caught it thick and heavy. He wooled him, then skinned him, and then tock to skinning off the under cutiole.— Hig never skinned a beef so thoroughly. He put together all the facts about the witnesses hearing the hogs squeal at night; the different marks of the hogs ; the losses in the neighborhood ; perverted the testimony and supplied omissions, until you would suppose on hearing him that if had been fully proved that poor Hig had stolen all the meat he had ever sold in the market. He asseverated that his suit was a malicious conspiracy against the Metho dists and Masons to crush his client. But all this I leave out, as not bearing on the main subject—myself. He came back to me. with a renewed ap petite. He said he would conclude by paying his valedictory respects to his juve nile friend, as this was the last time he ever expected to have the pleasure of meeting him. The poetic young gentleman had said, that by your verdict against his olient you would blight forever his reputation and that of his family—th'dPyou would bend down the spirit of his manly son, and dim the radianoe of his blooming daughter’s beauty. Vary pretty, upon my word!— But, gentlemen, not so fine, not so poeti oal by half, as a precious morceau of poetry whioh adorns the columns of the village newspaper, bearing the initials of J. C. R. As this admirable production has excited a great deal of applause in the nurseries and boarding soliools, I must beg to read it, not for the instruction of the gentleman, Rnt-farthe entertainment of the jury. Iv is addressed to R ■ B , a young lady of this place; Here it goes. Judj-e of my horror when, on looking up, | saw him take an old newspaper from his pooket, and, pulling down his specta cles! begin to read, in stage actor style, some verses I had written for Rose Bell’s album. Rose bad been worrying me some time to write her something. To get rid of her importunities, I had soribbled off a lines and copied them into the precious volume. Rose, the little fool, took them for something clever, (she never had more, than a thimble full of brains in her doll baby head,) and was so tickled with them that she got her brother Bill, about four teen, to copy them off, as well as he could, and take them to the printing office. Bill threw them under the door., The printer, as big a fool as either, not only published them, bnt, in his infernal kindness, puffed them in some critioal commendations of his own, referring to the “gifted author” as “one of the most promising of the younger members of our bar.” 9 —BUCHANAN. The fun by this time grew fast and furi ous. The country people, who have abont as muoh sympathy for a young town law yer badgered by an elder one, as for a young oub beset by ours, and who have as muoh idea or respeot for poetry as for witoheraft, joined in the mirth with glee. They crowded around old Kasm, and stamped and roared as at a oirens. The judge and sheriff in vain tried to keep or der. Indeed, his honor smiled out loud once or twice, and, to cover hig retreat, pretended to cough, and fined the sheriff five dollars for not keeping silenoe in oourt. Even the old olerk, whose im- ; memorial pen behind his right ear had worn the hair from that side of his head, 1 and who had not smiled in court for : twenty years, and boasted that Patriok Henry conldn’t disturb him in making up i a judgment entry, aotually turned his ! chair from the desk and put down his pen ; j afterwards he put his hand to his head three times in search for it, forgetting, in his attention to old Kasm, what he had done with it. ! Old Kasm went on reading and com menting by turns ; I forget what the inef fable trash was. I wouldn’t recollect if I could. My equanimity will only stand a phrase or two that still lingers in my memory, fixed there by old Kasm’s ridi cule. I had said something about my “bosom’s anguish”—about the passion that was consuming me ; and, to illustrate it, or-to-make-tfaß~liae jingle, put in some thing about “Egypt’s\Queen taking the asp tether bosom”— for the sake of rhyme or metre, I oalled the venomous worm—how the confounded thing was brought in I neither kntow nor want to know. When old Kasm came to that, he said he fully appreciated the young bard said—he believed it. \ He spoke of venomous worms. Now if he (Kasm) might presume to give the young gentle man advice, he would reoommenS Swaim’s patent vermifuge. He had no doubt but that it wonld effeotually oure him\of his malady, his love, and last, but not \east, of his rhymes—which would be the happi est passage in his eventful history. I couldn’t stand it any longer ; I had borne it to the last point of human endur ance. When it came only to skinning 1 was there ; but whep he showered down aquafortis on the rit>.v, and then seemed disposed to rub it in, I fled. ‘ Abii, erupi, evasi.’ The last thing I heard was old Kasm oalling me back, amidst the shouts oi the audience—but no more. *- * * * * * The next information I received of the case was a letter that oame to me at Natchez, my new residence, from Hiok’s, about a month afterward, telling me that the jury (on which I should have stated that old Kasm had got two infidels and four anti-masons) had given a verdiot for defendant, that before the oourt adjourned Frank Glendy had got sober and moved for a new trial, on the ground that the verdiot was against the evidenoo, and that the plaintiff had not had justioe by reason of the inoompetenoy of his oounsel, and the abandonment of his oause ; and that he got a new trial, as well he sohuld have done.

A CARD The subscriber having several hundred dollars of bill* of the Lancaster Bank, is desirous of collecting them off the stockholders, as the Bank refuses payment. Now, a* it is hard for one man to tight a thousand, I take this method of equalizing the expense, and hope all who have Lancaster Bank bills will immediately send them to me for collection, for soon they will be worthless for the want of attending to. It will cost from Five to Tea Thousand Dollars to push the matter through the Court*. I wtfnt parties to seua me at the iute of Five Dollars to the hun dred to pay Court 'charges. In good money, otherwise no one can afford to enforce collection, and the poor bill holder will lose all. The Bank failed November, 1860, and at this date, August, 1869, It owes depositors slB3,ooo—owes out standing bills $175,000 —has several hundred stockholders who are mostly wealthy, uud can be made to pay, first the bill holders ami then the depositors. I also find the Bank has about $50,000 owing it. which is good, but they are purchasing the bills at 10 cents to 15 cent* on the dollar / to pay their notes with, and when they are all paid, there will be no value to the bills, without it is attended to as I propose. ‘•FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED”—send on your motley immediately, Addross or call at the EXCHANGE HOTEL, on tho sub scriber.

In love, affairs she never fails. She has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex. It is this fact which induces illiterate pretenders to try Jo imitate her. She shows you tbe likeDoss of yonr future wife, husband, or absent friend; she warrants and guarantees the single a happy marriage, and makes tbe married happy. Her aid and advice bas been solicited in innumerable instances, and tbe result has always been the means of securing a speedy and happy marriage; she is therefore a sure dependence, fche has been tbe means of bringing many hundred hearts and bands together. Thousands of broken hearts have been healed and made happy by her. It is well known to the public at large that she was the first, and she is the only ponton who can show the likeness in reality, and who can give entire satisfaction on all the concerns of life, which can bo tested and proved by thon sands, both married and single, who daily and eagerly visit her at NO. 1336 LOMBARD STREET, PHILADELPHIA.

CJMMINOS , only, over Sprecher A Bro.’s New Store, North Queen st*, Lancaster. EXPLANATION. The term AMBROTYPE, by which these Pictures are designated; is derived from the Greek word Ambrotas, sig nifying indestructibility, permanency, Ac. The Picture is taken upon plate glass, to which another plate of corres ponding size is secured with an indestructible cement, by which the picture will retain its original brillancy for ages; it will not corrode by acids, nor be injured by water or climate. It is bold in its effect, beautiful lu tons, surpasses any thing in the gradations of light and shade and may be seen in any light. The public are cautioned against imitations made on tingle plates of glass, with the black Tarnish In immediate contact with the Picture.— Such are not permanent, as the rarnish must crack and destroy the Picture.
