Co1" J-fJay. Heard Mr. Cutler, of Ipswich
JZJalet ; dined at Dr. Putnam's with Col. Put
nam and lady, and two young gentlemen,
nephews of the Doctor and Col. and a Mrs.
Scollay.
..Col. Pntnam told a story of an Indian upon
Connecticut river, who called at a tavern,
in the fall of the year, for a dram. The land
lord asked him two coppers for it. The next
spring, happening at the same house, he
called for another, and had three coppers to
pay lor it. 'How is this, landlord ?" says he ;
"last fall you asked but two coppers for a glass
of mm, now tou ask three." "Oh !" says
the landlord, "it costs me a good deal to keep
mm over winter. It is as expensive to keep
ahoesheadof rum over winter as a horse."
"Ah !" says the Indian, "I can't see through
that ; he won't eat so much hay ; maybe he
drink as much water." This was t,her wit,

veiled the judge, with flashing eyes. "I tel
you, you are not !" retorted the counsel. '
nm rizht!" reitered the court, "curse a nig
car if I aint !" "I say you aint !" persisted
the counsel. "Crier," yelled the Judge, "I
adioura this court for ten minutes'."
Jumping from the bench, be pitched into the
counsel, and after a lively little fight, floored
him. after which business was again resumed ;
but it was not long before another misunder-
atarding arose. "Crier," said the Court, "we
will adjourn this time for twenty minutes !"
and he was about taking off his coat, when the
counsel said -. "Never mind, Judge, keep your
seat the p'int is yielded my thumb's out of

A student of one of our State Colleges had
a barrel of ale deposited in his room, contrary
to usage. He received a summons to at near
before the President, who said: "Sir, I am in
formed that you have a barrel of ale in your
room." "Yes, sir." "Well, what explana
tion can you make V "Why, the fact is, sir,
my physician advises roe to try a little each
day as a tonic, and not wishing to stop at the
various places where the beverage is retailed,
I concluded to have a barrel taken to my
room." "Indeed! And have you derived any
benefit from the use of it ?" "Ah, yes, sir.
"When the barrel was first taken to my room,
ten days since, I could scarcely lift it. .Now
I can carry it with the greatest ease." We
believe the witty student was discharged with
out special reprimand. Rochester Union.
It is ascertained that, in females, the ratio
ot cases of pulmonary consumption, to all o
ther diseases, is highest in those following se
dentary employment, less in those having mix
ed ia-door employments, and least in those
occupied out of doors. The highest ratio oc
curs in the case of females whose habits of
life arc irregular. In men, the ratio of cases
of pulmonary consumption to those of all oth
er diseases in the cases of those following in
door employments varies inversely as the a
mount of exertion being highest where there
is least exertion, and lowest in employments
requiring strong exercises.
Look Oct. When a young lady has
"turned the first corner," and sees no connu
bial prospect ahead, it is natural she should
look out.
When you find a man doing mora business
than you arc, and you want to know the reason
look at the advertisement he has in the news
papers and look out.
Look out for rain when the almanac tells
you to, and if it don't come, why you can keep
looking out.
It seems that a Church in MansfleM, Ohio,
put up in 1823, by volunteer hibor, is being

A gentleman was dining at one of our fash
ionable hotels. Peas had just come in season,
and everybody called for peas until they were
all gone. Tho gentleman was very fond of
peas, but he was too late ; so, rising and throw
ing himself into the attitude of Patrick Hen
ry, he exclaimed : "Gentlemeu may cry peas,
peas, but there is no peas !"
Ir yon meet with a man that is a man, or a
woman that is a woman, and nothing else, you
may flud soclh?ng human about them ; but
the quibbles and quirks, hypocrisy and mean
ness, the heartlessness, treachery and sordid
ness cf what is denominated "good society,"
are scandalous beyond all names for scandal.
Many years ago, men could be found to give
any evidence upon oath, that might be requir
ed; and some f these persons walked openly
in West Minster Hall with a straw in one of
their shoes, U signify they wauted employ
ment as witnesses ; hence originated the say
ing, TIe is a man of Straw."
Is the middle ages in France, a person con
victed of bcis a calumniator was condemned
to place himseif on all fours, and bark like a
dog for a quarter of an hour. If this custom
were adopted at the present day, there would
be considerable bow-wow-ing.
"Ned has rnn away with your wife," said
no friend to another. "Is it possible! I
truly pity bis sudden mishap."
The Moslem creed divides hell into seven
stories sunk one under tho other, the lowest

We need not speak to tlia public of Its Tlrtnea.
Throughout every town, and almost every hamlet of tbm'
American States, its wonderful cures of pulmonary com
plaints have ma.le it already known. Iay, ft-w are tho
families in any civilized country on this continent without
some personal experience of its effects: and fewer yet the
communities any where which have not among them
some living trophy of its victory over the subtle and dan.',
geroiw diseases of the throat and lungs. While it is the"
most powerful antidote yet known to man for the formi
dable and dangerous diseases of the pulmonary. organs, tt
is also the pleasantcst and safest remedy that can be em
ployed for infants and yoiirg persons. Parents should
have it in store against the insidious enemy that steals,
upon them unprepared. We have abundant grounds to
believe the Chkbrt PrcTOR-U. saves more lives by the eon
sumptions it prevents than those it cures. Keep it by .
yon, and cure your colds while they are curable, nor neg
lect them until no human skill ran master the inexorable
canker that, OiMened on the vitals, eats your life away.
All know this dreadful fatality of lung disorders, and as
they know too the virtues of this remedy, we teed not do
more th.:n to assure them it is' still made the bet it can
bo. We spare uo rost, no csjjv no toil to produce tt thi
most erfect pos.ile, and thus aff.Td those who roly on
it the best agent whu h our skill can furnish for their cure'.
