SALEM, Mesa., April 26, BSI.
. William Wright, Esq.—Dear Sir—For many years
we have been the Salem agents, and also at one time
the county agents, for the sale of your valuable medi
cote, and during the whole of this time we are not
aware that,'ln any one Instance, have the pills which
we have sold been complained of as causing Injury, or
not accomplishing their proper mission. It 3 a doubly
gratifying When we receive voluntary testimony from
a source where the medicine which is sold has been
the means ofdoing great good and allaying many lives.
Lett year we sold three - dozen betes to go to a for.
sign port, and this day have received a letter from the
merchant who ordered them, giving an actountof the
woodefful 'effects which they did in curing a large
number of persons who were attacked with a prevail
ing epidentic similar to the yellow fever ; while those
under the reviler physicians' treatment, who were in
the Hospital. some three hundred, Including the
Governor. Magistrates,&e, fell victims MM.! disease.
If you would like a copy of our letter, we don't know
of any Impropriety In giting it yon, and perhaps tt
would be of service to have it published. together with
our names; as It Is addressed to its. We will eonsnit
the parties interested. and if you wish it, you will
please write us. Respectfully, yours,
W. & S. B. Ives.
The following is the letter alluded to above :
• CAYENNE, Match 22, 11331.
essrs. &. S. B lags. Merchants,- Salem :
Gemes—For some years past I have adopted In
my family, as a purgative, Dr. Wright's Indian Wye
'table Pull Mr whom yell are his agents in Salem)
-and have found that medicine 01 great worth.
Law November we were visited by a kind of inflam
matory fever. (the same I presume which greatly af
flicted our neighbors, the Brazilian.. for nearly a year)
the symplorne of which had an analogy to the yellow
fever, and nearly three htindred persons fell victims to
the epidemic (a great number fora population as small
as ours.) Otir doctors named It the true yellow fever,
but their (kill was inefficient to stop its progress, con
fining their mode of *refitment to the use of quinine,
and the 'application of leeches, forbidding the use of
purgatives, and of course all the soldiers and sailors,
who were; obliged to be sent to tite Hospitals, as also
the Governor, several Magistrat I, several officers,
and in fantail those whit were really afflicted with Ike
disease, fell victims under their mode of treatment.
A month previous. I had received three dozen boxes
of Dr. Wright's Pills, which I presume were bought
at your atom, by Measis. Goldsmith, Newcomb &
Fatless, nitre:mots In your city, and with whom I am
doing business. I had the opportunity to administer
these Pill's to several under my roof, who were afflict
ed with the same fever, and two doses of eight Pills
each completely cured them of the complaint. I then
gave away nearly all ury,Pllls to some twenty `or thir
ty persons. and all were . . relieved as it were by en
chantment.
I have r in consequence, remitted to Messrs. Gold
smith, Nswcomb and Fatless, the sum of forty dollar.
for the ;incense , : of that quantity of this medicine, and
I beg of you to deliver the Pills as &ebb as possible.
I requein you also to desire Dr. Wright to have his
directioni translated in French, which will tend great
ly to areal/Ms his •Pille-not only here, but also In the
othereoloales where thepo, @station is more numerous.
Emile me, gentlemen, in the liberty I have taken
to address you this letter*, which, for the sake of hu
manity, Elam been compelled to do, as I do not mean
to speculate on an article which proved salutary to a
number of poor people, and in feet most of the popu
lation is reduced to a state of indigence, and it would
be sinfol:forany one to seek lucre In welt a way. '
,
Accept, gentlemen, the most respectful salutations
of Your very obedient servant, A. Ptcuevta.

A nobleman in the city. of London,, who
kept a great number ofservants, reposed con,
siderable confidence in one of them, ,which
excited a jealousy with the others, who, in
order to prejudice their Mister against him,
accused him of being a notorious - gamester.
Jack was called up and closely interrogated ;
but he denied the fact, at the same time de
claring he never played a card 'in his life.—
To be more fully convinced, the gentleman
ordered him to be searched : when behold a
pack of cards was found in his pocket.—
Highly incensed at Jack's want of veracity,
the nobleman demanded, in a rage, hoW he
dared persist in an untruth ? "My lord,"
replied he " I certainly do not know the
meaning of a - tard ; the bundle found in my
pocket is my Almanac." -" Your Almanac,
indeed ! then I desire you will prove it
Well, sir, I will begin. There are - four
site in the pack, that : intimates the four
quarters in the year; and there are thirteen
cards Meech suit, and, there are thirteen
weeks iut quarter. There is also the i same
number ofiunations. The twelve court cards
call to my renaembrance the twelve Months
that compose the year, and the twelvel signs
of the zodiac, thriugh which the sun steers
his diurnal course n one year. There are
fifty-two,cards in a \pack; that directly an
swers the number of Weeks in e year.l Ex
amine them \ more mitlutely, and you will
find three hundred and S\xty,,five spits, as
many as there are days intir s year. These
multiply by twenty-four, and ixty. and you
have the exact number of hoursand Minutes ~
in a year. Thus, sir: , ,I hope I \have con-. I
vinced you it is my Almanac ; and 'hy l Lyour I
lordship's permission, I will prove t my
upon Prayer Book also. 1 loOk the fonr nits
`t si
as representing the four prevailing religio s:
Christianity, Judaism, J‘.lahomedanism, an&
Paganism. The twelve court eards remind
rue of the twelve patriarchs froth whom
sprung the twelve tribes of Israel, the twelve
Apostles, the twelve articles of the Christian
faith. The King reminds me of the allegi
ance due to his majesty. The queen of the.
same to her majesty. The ten brings Ito my
recollection the ten cities in the plains of Sod
ean and Gomorrah, ,' destroyed by fire and
brimstone from heaved; the ten plagties of
Egypt, the ten commandments, the ten tribes
cut off for their vices. The nine reminds
me of the nine muss, and the nine moble or.
ders among men. The eight reminds me of
the eight heatitudes,:the eight attitude 4 the
eight persons saved in Noah's ark, the eight
persons mentioned - in the scriptures to be
released from death to life. The seven re
minds me of the seven administering, spirits
that stand before the throne of God.: the
seven seals wherewith. the book of life is
sealed, the seven liberal arts .and sciences
given by God for thelinstruction of man ; and
the seven wonders of the world. The six
reminds me of the six petitions• contained in
the Lord's prayer. The five ramp& uie 'of
the senses given by God to man : hearing,
seeing, feeling, tasting, and smelling: The
four puts me in mind of the four EvangOsts,
and the four seasons Of the year. The.three
reminds me of the Trinity, the three hours
our Saviour was on the Cross,:and the Three
days he lay interred.l ,The two renaindS me
of- he two testaments,' and the two contrary
principles strugglinglin men, virtue and vice.
The ace reminds me ',61 the only true Gbd to
adore, worship and serve, one only faith to
believe, one truth td practice, and one good
master to serve and obey." "So far is, very
well," said the nobleman, "but I believe
you have omitted one card, the knavd."—
" True my lord, the one
reminds nfe of
your lordship's informer." The tiobleman
became more pleased' with Jack than before,
freely forgave him,, railed tiis wagei,l and
discharged the informer'. • I

MONEY LOVING OP THE HINDOOS
Bred up to love money from his cradle, the
common-Hindoo cuts his first tooth on a ru
pee, wears a gold mohu round his neck for
an amulet, and has cowry shells, the lowest
denomination of his god, given him to play
with on the floor. The multiplication table,
up to one hundred times one hundred, is his
first lesson ; and out of school he has -two
pice given to him to take to the bazaar and
turn into an anna before he gets his dinner ;
thus educated, Hindoos, of all others, are the
best adapted for middlemen, and the Bun
t oochee Mallick found in them a useful hut
double-edged tool. They calculated thetithes
due to him from the tuppeb, and told him a
false total much under the real one; they
then offered to buy them front him, and
cheated hith dreadfully ; and, lastly, they
collected the tithes from the people who
were equally ignorant, and took one hundred
for fifty, hacked by the soldiers , of the very
Mullick to whom they had given fifty 'for one
hundred. , If the laud-owner was distressed,
the Hindoo competed with the Mahommedan
priest for the honor ofrelieving him with a
loan upon his land ;• and, if the debt was af
terwards repudiated, he easily'-obtained jus
tice by bribing his friend the glullick.—Ed

. A. venerable American Judge relates the
following anecdote:
The morning following the battle at York
town, I had. the curiosity to attend the dress
ing of the wounded. Among others whose
limbs were so much injured as-to require
amputation, was a musician': who had re
ceived a musket ball in the knee. As was
usual in such cases preparations were made
to lash. him down to the table, to prevent
the possibility 'of his moving. Says the suf
ferer,
' "Now, doctor', what would you be at ?"
"My lad, I am going to take your leg off,
and it is necessary that you should be lashed
down."
"I'll consent to no such thing. You may
pluck the heart "front my bosom, but you'll
not confine me. - Is 'there a fiddle in the
camp ? If so, bring it to me."
A violin was furnished, and after tuning. ,
it, he said :

COSTLY PALACE
The ancient palace of the Popes, and the
most`magnifieent in the world, stands on
the right bank of the Tiber, at Rome. The
palace takes its name from the hill on which
stands, derived from one of those ancient
impositioas, \ known as ocular deities, called
by the Romans\"Jupiter Vaticanus." Who
begat] the building is not known, but it was
occupied by Charlemagne, more than a thou
sand years ago, and\has been increased by
successive .popes untillt has reached its pre
sent immense. extent. The number of rooms
in the Vatican exceeds 4,'f00, and its treas

A PRACTICAL JOKE
A gentleman of considerable talent as an
orator, became a member of the Legislative
body, in one of the:Eastern States. in speak
ing; he was addicted to an old habit of hand
ling his spectacles—first placing them on his
nose—then upon his forehead, and finally
folding them up and laying them before him
on the desk. One day a very . important
question came up , for consideration. and-lo
commenced a speech in opposition. A friend
to the proposed measure, who was a most in
corrigible wag withal, determined to spoil
the effect of the Hdn. Member's remarks, and
accordingly, before: he entered the house, pro
vided himself with a dozen pair of specta
cles.- The metnber commenced his speech
with his usual ability. But a few minutes
elapsed before be was at work with his spec
tacles. and - finally got them .upon his fore
head.,
At this juncture our wag, who stood rea
dy, laid another pair on. the desk before the
speaker. These were taken up: and by a
gradual gradation gamed a place on his fore
head, by the side of the other. A . third,
fourth and fifth pair was disposed of in the
same manner. 'A smile settled upon the
countenances of the Hon. Members, which
gradually enlightened into a grin, and at
last, when the speaker had warmed'into one
of his most patriotic and eloquent sentences,
he deposited a sixth pair with theothers, and
there was one long and loud peal of laughter
from ,all quarters of the room—Mr. Presi
dent,clerks,and membersjoined to thechorus.
The speaker looked around in astonishment
at this curious imerruption ; but raising his
hand,' be grasped the spectacles, and the
whole force of the joke rushed upon his
mjnd.. He dashed the glasses upon the floor,
took hi%hat and left the hall. The bill pass
ed by a triumphant majority, probably in
consequence of the.gentleman's silly and
useless habit. •

A traveller, saunteringthrough the Leh
Districts of England, sot years ago, arrived
at a small public house lint a the postman
stopped - to deliver a letter. A young girl
came out to , receive it. She took it la her
hand, tamed it over and over, and asked the
charge. It was a large suits—no less than a.
bhd ling.- Sighing heavily, she observed that.
it came ftom her brother, but that she was
too poor to take it in, and she returned it , to
the postman accordingly. The traveller was
a man of kindness as well as of observation;
he offered to pay the postage himself, and in
spite of More reluctance on the girl's part
than he could . well understand, he did pay it
and gaVe her the letter.
No sooner, however, was the postman's
back turned than she confessed that the pro.
ceedtrig had been concerted between her broth.
er and herself :;that the letter - was empty, :
that certain signs on the direction-conveyed
all that she wanted to know, and 'tat, as
they could neither of them afford to parpost
age, they had devised this theitiodiaffisaking
the intelligence desired. The traveller pur
sued his journey, and as he plodded ovet the
Cumberland fells be mused upon the bad
ness of a system which drove people to such
straits for means of correspondence, and de
feated its own objects all the time._ With ,
most men such musings would have ended
before the close of the hour, but this man's
name was Rowland Hill, and it was from
this incident and these rellections, that the
whole scheme:of penny postage was derived.

A GYPSY CHARM FOR' THE tionsz.
"Are ye not afraid of that beastrsaid the
smith, showing his fang. "Arrah, it's- vi
cious that he looks!" "It's at you, then! I
don't fear him:" and thereupon I. passed
under the horse, between its hind legs. "And
is that all you can do, agrah ?"said the smith.
"No," said I. "I can ride hint." "Ye can
ride him; and what else, agrah?". "I can
leap him over a six foot wall, said I. "Over

more," said L "What more would you

smith ; and he uttered a word which I never
heard before, in 'a sharp, pungent tone. The
effect upon myself was somewhat extraordi

with regard to the cob it was terrible; the
animal forthwith became like one mad, and
roared and kicked with the utmost despera
tion. "Can you do that, agrah?" said the
smith. "What is it ?" said I,..retreating, "I.
never saw the horse so before." "Go between
his legs, agrah," said the smith, "his hinder.
legs," apd he again showed his fang. "I dare
not," said I, "he would kill me." "Heviould
kill ye! and how do you know that, agrah?"
"I feel lie would," said I, "something tells
me so." "And it 'tells ye truth, agrah ; but
it's a fine beast, and it's a pity to see him in
such a-state. Is agam an leigeas," and liere
he uttered another word in a voice singularly
modified, but sweet and almost plaintive.—
The effect of it was as instantaneous as that
of the other, but how different: the animal
lost all its fury, and became at once calm and
gentle. The smith-went up to it, coaxed and
patted - it, making use of various sounds of
equal endearment ; then, turning to me, and
holding out once more the grimy hand, he
said, "And now ye'will be, giving me the
Sassanach tenpence, agmh ?"—Latiengro,

WHAT AN EDITOR. DOES NOT LIKE.
1. To pay postage on a letter ordering a
discontinuance of a paper, when the sub
scriber, perhaps,, is in arrears.
2. To pay postage on communications,
perhaps not more than ten lines in length—
a notice, it may be of religious interest only
in the writer's own charge.
3. To be in debt, and without the means
to pay because subscribers will not pay.
4. To send a paper-s* months or a year
to one who is dead or moved away, and the
postmaster or some one else taking them out
and reading them : after all receive from
the P. M. saying, "stop your paper sent to'
Mr.—, he is dead' or 'moved away ;"but
not a word about pay.
4. To have a man take the paper until he
is in debt eight or nine dollars, and then slip
' oft to parts unknown, and without paying;
leaving the postmaster to give notice of the
Tide to the editor.—[Methodist Protestant.
MANY A SLIP BETWEEN' THE . CTIP AND
TUE LIP. "—This saying was supposed to take
its origin from one ofPenelope's wooerirlieing
shot as he was going--to drink. But it arose
as Ainsworth has it, thus: "A. king of
Thrace had planted a vineyard, when one
of his slaves, whom be had much oppressed
in that very work, prophesied that he, the
king, should never taste the wine produced
by it. The king disregarded the prophecy,
and when at an entertainment he :held the
cup full of his own wine, and sent for this
slave, and insultingly asked , him what. he
thought of his prophecy now T The slave,
only answered, " there's many a slip betweep
the cup and the lip." Scarcely had he syo
ken, wheu the news was brought thata cage
boar was laying his vineyard waste. he
king arose in a fury, attacked the boar, and
was killed without ever tasting the wi'e."
U A MELANCHOLY SIGHT.--.Dr. Rid, a
traveler through the highlands .of Peru," ( is
said to have found lately in the desert of Ata
cama, the dried remains of an assemblage of
Litman beings five or six hundred in number,
men, women and children, seated - in a said
circle as when alive, staring into the burn
ing waste before them. They had not been
buried, life had not departed before they thus
at around, but hope was-gone, the Spanish
invader was at hand,and no escape being left,
they ha - d corie hither to die. They still sat
immoveablein that dreary desert, dried ; like
mummies b the effect of the hot air, ihey
gall kept th •ir position, sitting up as iftsol
thin council while over that dread Ari.ops
gu4lence I roods everlastingly.
