WISTAR'S BALSAM OF
WILD CHERRY,
THE GREAT REMEDY FOR CONSUMPTON
And the best Medicine known to Man for the cure of
sthma, of every stage, Liver Complaints, Bron
chitis, Influenza, Coughs, Could's, Bleeding of
the Lungs, Shortness of Breath, pains and
~
weakness in the side, breast, &c.,
and all other diseases of the
Pulmonaty - Organa4
A, VERY important disease over which this 'Balsam'
exets a very powerful influence; is that °fa DIS
EASED LIVER. In this complaint it has undoubtedly
proved More efficacious than any remedy hitherto env:
ployed, and in numerous instances when patients had
endured long and severe suffering front the disease,
without receivir g the least hinefit from various reme
dies, and when MERCURY has been resorted to in.
vain, the use of this,Balsam has restored the ,-LIVER
to a healthy action, atunn many instances effected
PERMANENT CURES, after every known remedy
had failed to produce this effect.
Besides its astonishing efficacy in the disease above
mentioned, we also find it a very effectual remedy -in
ASTHMA, a complaint in' ibichit has been extensive
ly used with decided success, even in cases of years
,standing.
It not onl y emanates from a regular Physician, but
has also been well tested in all the complaints for
which it is recommended. It is not my intention,
therefore, either to cloak it in mystery, or in any was
deceive the public by. overrating its-virtues ; on the
contrary, I shall simply endeavor to give a brief state
ment of its usefulness, and flatter myself-that its sur
prising efficacy will enable me to furnish -such moors
of its virtues as will satisfy the mom incredulous, that

WHAT A PAIR 'or_ ANDIRONS COST
By Peter' Piper, Jr
° Peter," said my uncle, knocking the ashes
from his pipe, and_
- laying it on , the corner stone of
the mantel piece,- and then fixing his eyes on. the
irons, °Peter, these andirons cost me one thousand
dollars."
Dear me!" exclaimed my aunt.
•
° Oh ! father !" cried the girls.
• True—evecy word true. One thousand did
say?- Yes, two thousand—full two thousand dot
tars."
=I
" Well, well," Said my aunt, folding up her
knitting, for the night, I.should like to know.
What you are talking about."
I My uncle bent forward, and planted his hands
firmly on his parted,kncee, and with a deliberate
air, which 'showed no doubt of his being able to
Prove his assertion, he began :
! Well ; you see, a good many years ago, we had
a pair, of common old "andirons. Your cousin
I.etty says one day: • Father, don't you think
these old andirons are gettingloo shabby V Shah.
: by 'or not, I thought they would hold up the wood
as nicely as if they were made of gold. So I paid
,no attention to Letty. I was afraid she was grow.
proud. Soon after that, Peter," continued my
'uncle, .4 your suet took it. Up.--'
" There it, goes," interrupted, my aunt, " you
cant get along without dragging me in." ,
" Your aunt took it up, Peter, and she said our
neighbors could afford brass andirons, and were
no better oat than We wero. And she said Letty
and her sister Jane were just getting old enough
to see company, and the stingy looking old. and
irlins might hhrt their market. I kneW that
wo
men will always havri their own .way, and there
was no use in objecting. and so I got the andirons.
The price of theiniwas ten dollars and a half—".
! that's more like it,".cried my aunt. " I
thought you said two thousand / dollars."
" My dear, I wish you would not interrupt me.
Ten and a- half.; Well, the first night after we
got them, as we all sat by the warm fire talking
over the matter, Letty called my attention to the
heartb-„tho stones of which were cracked and
even. The hearth was entirely out of keeping
with the new dbdirons, and I thought I might-as
well have it replaced first as leep,. The next day
a mason was sent for to exiinine it. He came in
my absence, and when 'I returned home your
cousins and aunt all beset me at once to have a
marble slab. • The mason had convinced them the
hearth• would not look decent without a marble
slab, and they put their heads together."
" La me !" exclaimed my. aunt,." there was no
putting any beads together about it. The hearth
was 'a real old worn out thing, not fit for-a pigpen."
"'They put their heads together, Peter, as I was
say hut, and continued till I got a7marble hearth, -
which Cost• me twenty,d,ollara ; yes, twenty dol
lars at least. Then I thought I was done with ex
penses, but I thOught :c sriong. Pretty soon I be.
gan 4o hear sly hintethrewn out about the brick
work around the fire-placm not corresponding with
the hearth...l stood out for. a mambo! two against
your aunt and- the-gine, but they at length gat the
better of me, and I was for Ced to have marble in
,stead of brick: And then the old wooden mantel
piece was so out of character that it was necessary
•to have a marble • ; The cost of all this was
'nearly one hundred dollars. • And now that the
spirit of improvement bad got .a start, there was
DO stopping place. The new marble mantel put
to shame the' old white-washed walls, and they.
must be - papered. The wood work had to be
painted of course, and to prepare it for paint sun
in
dry repairs were necessary.. While this was gog
on, your aunt and the girls appeared to be quite
satisfied, and whet] it was done, they had no idea
the old parlor could be made to look so spruce.—
But this wee only) , short respite.' The old rag ,
earpet begaa to .raise a dust, and I found there
would be no pesee --
"Now, my dear !" said the old lady ~with a
pleasing smile, accompanied with a partial rotation
of the bead— •
" Now, father'," exclaimed the girls—
" got a new carpet. That, again. shamed
the old finniture. and it had to be turned out and
replaced With new. • Now, Voter, count up, my
lad—twenty dollars for the hearth, end one hun
dred for the mantel.piece, and thirty for repairs.
What does that make?'
"One biutidred and fifty, - uncle." '
" Well, fifty for paper and paint."
"Two hundred, • '
't Then, fifty for a carpet, and ono hundred, et
least, for ' .
"Three hundred and fifty:" • • -
• Ahem Theres that clock, too, and the blinds
—fifty more." ,
"four hundrediexactly:". .
I ,Nly aunt and tannins' winked et each o et,.
'" Now," continued my uncle; "so etch for
this one room No sooner was the !On finished
than the complaints VIM from all_qtyrtemodeont
the dining min arid entry. Long beforethis;
1• . •
had eurrenddied at discretion. and handed in my
submission. The dining room cost two hundred
more. *hat does that count, Peter V'
Eight hundred. Uncle."
Tben the chambers—at least four hundred to
make them rhyme With
.the down atairs."
4. Twelve hundred."
a The outside of the house bad to be repaired
and Painted, of course. Add two hundred for that."
Fourteen hundred."
Then there must be a piazza in front—that
cost two hundred." ,
"Sixteen hundred!!
Here aunt began to yawn, Letty to poke the
fire, and Jane to twirl over the • leaves oPa book.
A new carriage came next, Peter, that cost
two hundred ddliare."
• •
".Eighteen hundred."
"'Then there was a lawn to be laid Out and
neatly fereed—a servant to be hired—parties air
en' ocespiimally—bonnets and-dresses double the
former cost, and a hundred other little expanses in
keeping With the'netv order of things. And all
this grew Lout of these very andirons. Yes: Peter,
was entirely within bounds when I said . two
thousand dollars"
. -
The opposition was silenced. Mraunt imme
diately rase and guessed it was bed-time. I was
left alone l with my uncle, who was not inclined to
drop the aulject. He was a persevering man. and
never gave up what he undertook, till be had done
the work thchoughly. So he brought out his books
and accounts, and set about making an exact esti
mate of the expenses.. He kept me up till after
midnight befose he got through. Hie conclusion
was that the pair *of andirons cost him twenty-fohr
himdred end fitly dollars.
PLEASING DISA • PPOINTMENTr:---An af
fair occurred in the First Municipality sta few days
since, that created quite an excitement in 11 cerr
twin select and fashionable circle. It appears that
a young titan from the North,:who, having been
in the employ of a rich merehantin street,
became acquainted some twelve months ego with
his eiriployer's •daughter; a blooming damsel of
sweet sixteen. . Each- being of •an age when the
heart isibriinful of Ire and sentiment; six months
had not passed when they had mutually_pledged
their hopes' and affections. They had, with ad
mirable skill, managed to blind the eyes of 'the
fair one's parents go effectually, that they had not
even dreamed of the existence of any feeling be
tween them warmer than that of common friend
ship. Not daring to avow -the paision, which
they confidently expected would be frowned upon
by the father, they at last 'resolved to brave all
danger and elope. '
While making the .necessary arrangementi,
which they imagined were -being conducted with
•the utmost secrecy, the father came to a know
ledge of the faces; he being of a kind and gener
011g disposition, and not wishing to thwart the
affections, and *destroy the happiness of hiallarlini
child, and entertaining a high respect `for the
young man, at once came to the happy determin
ation to disappoint the lover's, but in a way they
little expected; He secretly made preparations
for a wedding, and invited , a few intimate friends
to be present on a certain evening, at a little par
ty ho was about to give. Through bribes,-he had
obtained from a fen - tale servant who attended upon
his daughter, all the particulars of the intended
elopement. The evening of theilay, fixed at last
came, rind the maiden's heart throbbed with anx
iety and fear, when she reflected upon the step
she ems about to take; but love, as is usually the
case, proved stronger than her sense of duty. .
The gay Lothario bad. as he thought, fortu
nately found h boat that will to leave fur Niit
chez at nine o'clkick in the evening, and had en
gaged a passage fdr himself Ind intended bride.—
He engaged a carriage, and made all the arrange
ments to - leave the house St eight o'clock. The
father, through the means we_ have spoken of, ob
tained all the iliformatioiX-he---required, and the
Carriage driver, who,was - to wait upon`a corner
near the old gentleman's house, bad received his
instructions from' hart. The, lovers reached the
carijage - end a moment were whirling as they
supposed to the boat, but' what wee their,aston
ishinent, after ri:short drive, to find themselves
against the door of the wronged father. But no
pen can describe the confusion Of both, when that
individual supped out and kindly welcomed them
home. - They were ushered into the parlory and
there found a priest in attendance, and in a few
moment+ the happy pair were united. The girl
fell upon the neck of her father end wept tsars
of joy. The old man, , after lecturing his children
upon their -undutiful proceeding, generously fur.
gave themiand the next day his neighbor mer
chants were struck with Wonder by seeing a pain
ter adding ^ dc, C 0.," to the name on the sign.—

DONIPIIAN AND XENOPHON.—The ed.
itor of the New York Evening Pod, compares
Col. Doniphan's expedition from Missouri through
New. Mexico to the mouth; of the Rio Grande,
with. the famous expedition of the five hundred
Greeks under the renowned leader of nearly simi
lar nine Col. Xenophon. The last.has become,.
Classic, because it was told in..so charming a man
ner by Xenophon, and all Doniphan has to do, is
to write as perfect a histbry of his expedition to
make it be read with admiration two thousand
years hence. .The Greeks were led from near Bab
ylon through Amenia to the Black Sea, and thence
to Chryeopolis; . hree-thousand four hundred and
aixty-tive . Engliith miles. It was accomplished in
fifteen months, and a large part- of n through an .
•unknown, mountainous, and hostile' country, and
in an inclement season, the Greeks losing every
thing-except their lives and arms. Doniphan and
the Missourians travelled over six thousand miles
in twelve months, neither receiving supplies nor
money, but living exc)nrAvirly on the country
through which they'paseed, and supplying them
selves with-powder and. balls by capturing , them
from the enemy.'. • They fought threethatiles, in
each of which they were Victerioce over erectly
supertdr numbers. . Theca aro the two most re
markable. . e•peditions that have ever occurred.

to your town In the last iminber of four paper, I may
be permitted to say, that this visit was not altogether
a Man of pleasure, though Muth of the latter hasre
suited from it. 'The twentyi t tive children . ' took along
with me, pally belonged to my day-school, and Partly
to my Sunday school. They had for some time been
taught by me to sing, and to speak In public. itesidelt,
cultivating ho them a taste Tr- tttusie; I hoped to attain '
by this course several °that . objects. I expected that
the literary merits of the pieces they spoke would igot
be lost upon. them in. furnishing them with modela i ef
conposition ; I, at least; desired that the =nit sent!.

the latest fashion-Land;,ttecOmmon, certain ficti

American costume, and judging from appearance
hod donned as robust bustle as was eves 'amid

first I have seen worn by 'Meiicans, it was cep ,
tainly amusing' to. seri, them strut tlfrough. the
„
streets, as proud pr thetr bag of bran as a.mothet
is of her only child.' Surely, the Mexican ladies
are becoming enlightened. , -
