ABRAHAM J. CLEMER, residing at 66, Mott
street, New York, was afflicted with Dyspepsia
in its most aggravated form. The symptoms were vi
olent headache, great debility, fever, costiveness,cough,
heartburn, pain in the chest and stomach always after
eating, impaired appetite, sensation of sinking at the
stomach, furred tongue, nausea, with frequent vomit
ings, dizziness towards night and restlessness. These
had continued upwards of a twelvemnnth, when, on
consulting Dr. Wm. Evans, 100 Chatham street, and
submitting to his ever successful and agreeable mode
of treatment, the patient was completely restored to
health in the short space of one month, and grateful fnr
the incalculable benefit derived, gladly came forward

Metter Bargains than ever, at the Three Dig
Doors.
Tr HE subscriber would respectfully inform his cus
tomers and the public generally, that notwithsuud
ing the unprecedented sales at the Three Big Doors,
daring the present season; he has still on hand the lar
gest and most varied assortment of elegant CLO
THING that can be bought west of the mountains.—
The public may rest assured that all articles offered at
his store are maufactured from FRESH GOODS, pur
chased in the Eastern markets this spring and made in
to garments by Pitttsburgh workmen.
• In consequence of the multiplication of slop shops in
our city, filled with pawn brokers clothes and the musty,
cast off garinents of former seasons, from the eastern ci
ties, the public should be cautious to ascertain the char
saw of the establishments in which they are invited to
purchase, before they part with their money. The arti
cles offered at am eral of the concerns in this city, are
thgs mere offal! of New York and Philadelphia slop
shops, and sent out here to be palmed off on the Pius
burgh public. Purchasers should be on their guard a
gainst these impositions, and they may rely on the fact
shun° establishment thatadvertises eastern made Clo
thing, can give as good an article or as advantag eous
bargains as can be had at the "Three Big Doors. '
The public will please remember that all the subscri
bees garments are mule in this city, by competen t work
men, and not gathered up like the goods now offered by
the "birds of passage" from the shreds and patches of
eastern slop shops. It will always be his endeavor to
Maintain the reputation that the "Three Big Doors"
have obtained for furnishing a superior style of CLO
THING in every respect, and at prices below those of
any otheresuiblishment.
He'vroold again return his thanks to his friends and
the public for the unprecedented patronage bestowed
upon his establishment, and believing that they have
'found it to their advantage to deal with him, he would
repeat his invitation to all those who wish to purchase

HE attention of those who have been somewhat
1 sceptical in reference to the numerous certifi
cates published in favor of Dr. Swayne's Compound
Syrup of Wild Cherry, on account of the persons being
un known in this Section of the State, is respectfully di
rected to the following certificate, the writer of which
b as been a citizen of this borough for several years, and
is known as a gentleman of integrity and responsibility.
To the Agent, Mr. J. KIRBY.
I have used Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild
Chem fora Cough, with which I have been severely
afflicted for about four months, and I have no hesitation
in saying that it is the most effective medicine that I
have been able to procure. It composes all uneasiness,
and agrees well with my diet,—and maintains a regular
and good appetite. I can sinceuely recommend it to all
others similarly afflicted. J. MINSICE, Borough of

A TALI; OF THY TIME OF LOUIII Xi/
In one of a suite of apartments in the magnifica!'
chateau of Versailles, appropriated to the President els
Conseil des Ministres, sat John Frederic Phalli
Count of Maurepas, and Premier of Fred. Habited
in a rich morning-gown of figured brocade, and seated
at a small table, carved and gilt after the fashion of
time of Louis XVI., the Count's attention seemed te he
wholly absorbed by some papers before him, which,
from certain signs in his manlier, contractions of the
brow, shruggings of the shoulder, and wmings of the
hand and pen, might have reasonably been supposed to
have had relation to some subject of intense interest...—.
At length anew idea seemed to strike him; his tomtit*
nance became irradiated, with a triumphant staihn his
hesitation vanished; he placed his pen to the paper,
tes
ted a few rapid words, dashed the pen upon the table,
and, throwing himself back in his chair, rubbed his
hands in an ecstasy of delight.
"Ah!" he exclaimed, `•that is just the very word! It
is the best epigram I have ever written! Terse, point.

jealous; but it has cost me the whole morrent••d.

ly indignant at such an attack upon her brother, in ber

"Your Excellency is very kind!"

I can defi•nd you, unless something is done to discover
and punish the real author of this libel. You see I lux
very frank."
"Yes, and you shall see that I will be equally frank
with you. Tell the chief of the secret police that I
wish to sec him," exclaimed the Count to a servant—
" Now you shall hear, Monsieur le Duc t what I am go
ing to dictate, and you can represent it yoaraelf to the
Queen."
In a few moments, Monsieur Griffet, the head of ties
secret police and confidential secretary of the minister,
made his appearance, and was directed to seathimself,
and write after the dictation of the Count.
"In the name of the King." commenced the mini.
ter. "flaring learned that there has been published,
anonymously, a pamphlet, entitled "Joseph If. walks
Policy," we hereby offer a reward of ten thoestuwi
francs to any one affording information leading to the
discovery of the author. And considering, moreover,
that the work is highly disrespectful to his Majesty Jo

"You are too good," replied the Duke; "es to mine.,
I prefer to keep it."
"And so will the good people of Paris, muttered the
Count to himself, as he re-commenced dictating
“We order, moreover, that the author, if be is di**
covered, shall be sent to the Bastille.”
"You will add some fins--some forfeiture of prop r•

"Certainly; the reward of ten thousand francs aka
be paid to the author. Show what you have written,
Gritret, to Monsieur l'Ambassadeur. I hope it satis
fies your Excellency. What can Ido more?"
"Quite satisfactory! And now all that remains to
be done is to have this printed in the largest type and
posted in the public places."
"The in der shall be given to the royal priming of

will attend to it myself,''. replied the Count, bow
ing to the Duke out. "Gritret.! send for a workman of
the royal printing office.—Ha!" he exclaimed as the
door closed upon the retiring ambassador, "this will
give piquancy to my pamphlet; a better plan could not
have been devised to add to its notoriety, and tom.
sure its being universally read. Ah, Griffot, what are
you lookine- ' so puzzled about?"
"About the reason that could lance you to offer tea
thousand francs for the discovery of the author of your
own work—one that your Excellency made me copy
and carry myself to a printer."
"For that reason," returned the Count, "because I
am sure of compromiing no one."
"But your Excellency will allow me to remind you
of a similar case, in the time of Louis XV. in which a
certain minister lost his place."
"Yes, an epigram against Madame de Pompadour,
the original of which was unfortunately found in my
hand writing! But in this case, where I have again
I undertaken to serve the King in spite of myself, I have
been more prudent, and, with that view, I made you CO.
py the article and take it to the same printer who had a
press in the violation of the law. By the bye, I sec that
I h e has made a mistake in leaving out one of the most
piquant notes. I hope that you have not left any of
your copy with him?"
"I have the whole of it."
"And m y manuscript:—where is it? told yea to
return it to me. •
"Yes, your Excellency. I will return it to you—.."
“But where is it? 1 want to see k immediately."
"I hope your Excellency does not distrust me?"
"Not ut all. I pay you too high for that; but come,
where are my papers?"
With not a little embarrassment and agitation—sus.
noticed, however, by the Count—GrifTet drew &ton hie
pocket several sheets of paper. and handed themdowa
to his chief. The truth was, that one sheet of the orag'
nal w - 8.8 missing, and Monsier Griffin, unable to ac
count for it in any way, had taken the liberty of *apply

exchanges should be discovered. Form:molly fOr
him, the minister, without glancing at the writin4,
merely shuffled the sheets in his hand, and ascertain*/
that their number was correct, put his manuscript in Wm
pocks. t.
"If your Excellency has no particular orders for MO
this morning," said Griffet, recovering tmm his fear, "I
should like to have leave of absence for a while. I
wish to attend my intended bride."
"You marry! And pray who may be the unfortts•
nate?"
"Monseigneur is pleased to be facetious: my inten
ded is the daughter of the most renowned aubergine
of Versailles—sixteen and handsome."
"Young and handsome! Oh, that alters the ease. I
should like to see her." -
"Diable," muttered the Secretary to himself. "'My
vanity has betrayed me."
"1 am now going to the King," continued the Count.
- On my - return you shall present her tome."
