$c salt* Thb Hkathbn. —The Knickerbocker re lates ihe following : “A Sunday school teach er was in the habit of inking up a collection in his juvenile class for missionary objects every Sunday, and his box receivd scores of pennies which other wise would have found their way to the drawers of the confectioner and toy man. H« was not a little surprised, however, one Sunday, to find a hank bill crushed in among the weight of copper. He i was not long in finding ii to be a broken bank, and on asking the class who put it there, the donor was pointed out to him by his class mates who ha I seen him deposit and thought it a very noble gift. “Didn’t you know this bill for nothing ?” said Ihe teacher. “Yes,” nn-iwered the boy. “Then what did you put it in the bo* for?” “1 didn’t s’pose the little heathen would know the difference, so I thought it would do just as well for them.” A Bad Pbomise. — My friend Richards, says an eastern correspondent, was an in veterate chewor of tobacco. To break him self of the habit, he look up another, which was that of making a pledge about once a month thm he would never chew another piece. He broke his pledge just as often as he made it. The Inst time I had seen him he told me he had broken off for good, but now, as 1 met him, he was taking another chew. “Why, Richards,” says I, “you told me you had given up that habit, but I see you are at it again.” “Yes,” he replied, I have gone to chewing and left off lying. Is.—An oblivious son of ihe Emerald Isle, in passing over llio Great Western Railway a day or iwo since, made a singular mistake, much to the amusement of the passengers. He had imbibed at every available place, and seemed inclined to continue the operation ad libitum. He was coiled up in a seat, with his head swinging like a broken pendulum, and his eyes hall closed. The tram wassdowing, and ihe brakesman stuck his head into the ear and calhd nut “Fairchild’s Creek.” Our hero incontinently straightened up and tod dlea towards me door, muitering, “Fair chance to drink, eh ? be gorra I’m in." Work! —Richard Burke being found in a reverie shortly alter an extraordinary display of powers in Parlimenl by his brother Ed mund Burke, and being questioned by a friend as to the cause, replied : “I have been wondering how Ned con trived to monopolize all ihe talents of the family. ■ But then again, 1 remember when we were ai play, he was always ai work. The force of ibis anecdote is increased by the fact ibu; Richard Burke was considered not inferior in Inlenis to bis brother. Vet the one rose to greatness, while the other died comparatively obscure. Don’t trust to your genius, young men, if you would rise, but —WORK Candiep Orange or Lemon Peel.— Boil the rind from thick skin oranges or lem ons in plenty of water, unlit they are lender, and the water once or twice, if necessary.

Henrv Ward Beecherism. —This cler. gyman recently preached a sermon against old school Calvinism, in which he said he wished it fully understood fay his people, that he served them not ns the minister of a sect, but of the truth, “t am'not,” he declared, "a Calvanist, an Armenian, a Universnlisl, a Unitarian, a Pelagian, nor a Swedenborgian; but I am simply Henry Ward Beecher, n preacher of the Gospel, a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ; and make other,people believe in him—that is all I” Fact. —A man might as well try to pull feathers from a tailor’s goose, or try to wheel himself to glory in a wheelbarrow, as to convince a fashionable woman lhal economy consists in slaying at home and taking care of the babies and other chicken fixens, and in figuring up the grocer's bill.

He says that picture of despair reconciled him to his fate.

Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers, Gout, Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamma tions, Headache, Pains in the Breast, Side, Back, and Limbs, Female Complaints, &c. &e. Indeed, very few ore tho discoscs in which a Purgative Medi cine is not more or less required, and much sick ness and suffering might he prevented, if a harm less but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No person can feci well while a costive habit of body prevails; besides it soon generates serious mid often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided bv the timely and judicious use of a good purgative, ■fliis is alike true of Colds. Feverish symptoms, and Bilious.derangements. Tuoy all tend to become or produce the deep seated nnd formidable distempers which load the hearses all o\er the land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first importance to the public health, and this Fill has been perfected with consummate slri!! to meet that demand. An extensive trial of its virtues hy Physicians, Profes sors, and Patients, has shown surpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures •have been effected beyond belief, were theymot sub stantiated by persons of such exalted position and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Among the many eminent gentlemen uho have testified in favor of these Pills, we may mention : Du. A. A. Hayes, Analytical Chemist, of Boston, and State Asnnycr of Massachusetts, whose high professional character Is endorsed by the Hox. Ki)W\un Eveubtt, Senator of the V. S. ItonKUT C.

I.ut.AKi) & Co., Propr’s of the Metropolitan Hotel, and others. Did space permit, we could give many hundred certificates, from all parts where the Pills have been used, but evidence even more eomincing than the experience of eminent public men is found in their, ell'ei ts upon trial. These PilU, the result of long investigation and study, are ollered to the public as the best aud most complete which the present state of medical ccivnce can allord. They ero con.pounded not of tho drnrs themsohes, but of the medicinal urines only of Vegetable remedies, extracted Ivy chemical process in a slate of puritj, and combined together m such a manner as to insure the best result' l . 'I bts system of composition for medi. Inc- has he**n found in the Cherry Pei loral and Pills both, to produce a more efficient retard) than had hithe*. io been ob i tained by anv process. The reason is perfectly ob vious.
