INTERESTING CA .
Er A Lady, to whom referem4::.i , made,
was for years afflicted with .101. , :4: , •ir neck,
lxcompanied with frequent ifelihrtir and
running sores. She had tried :various remedies
and had taken the best medical. advice, but could
got no permanent relief; and her case daily be
coming worse, fears woreventastained of a fatal
termination of her complaint, when a friend pro
videntially recommended the Botanical Drops,
four bottles of which effected a complete cure, to
the surprise andjoy of herself and friends.
ET A Child of 8 years, had lost the use of his
arms, one leg was almost crippled, hip dropped
out of place, thigh and arms swollen and broke
open in several places, and many of the sores had
penetrated down to the hone. On taking these
'Drops he recovered the use of his limbs, the sores
healed up, and ha was restored to health, although
thought incurable.
UT A young Man, near Boston, was reduced so
low by eruptions and sores in various Darts of his
body, especially his neck and hands; weakness
at the stomach, loss of appetite, general debility,
and gradual decline of the whole system, so as to
threaten an approaching Consumption. He was
entirely cured, and restored to a fine state of health
by five or six bottles of these Drops.
Martini' .Lady -was for years atllicted
with eruptions on the face, head, ears and various
parts of the body, attended with violent itching,

pieces of bone came away from my right leg; when
hearing of your Relfe's Botanical Drops, after try.
in enry thing else that I thought would allay my

nearly well; the ulcers began to heal up and cease
running."
A Gontlornnn writes, he had been - sorely afflic

having tried nll kinds of reinedies without success,
by the use of those DropS he was perfectly cured.
Another Gentleman Writes: "I have been Pori.

&c. and resorted to he use daintily medicines,-
without effecting a • c ire, or doing any essential'
good, until I obtains, some of your Botanical
Drops,which,on using a short tune, entirely cured
one. I therefore recommend it to "every person
afflicted with this complaint." .

years with intolerable bUrnings all ever my body,
a dreadful ulcer on my lOft leg, and " every other

Closing Sabbath! Ah, how coon
Have the sacred moments passed;
Scarcely shines the worn, the noun
Ere the evening brings thv last;
And another Sabbath flies—
Solemn witness!—to the skies
What is the report it bears
To the secret place of O,id?

Thouglits - which cling to earth's In,
Or has sweet communion shone
Thiough its hours, fr‘oin God
Could we hope the day was spent
with tont:taut - heart,

Knowing, thuti4ll so soon it part,
We should see a better day,
Which could never pass away

Teach us daily how to live,
That we ever may fulfil
All thy gradous love
Giving sabbaths to mankind.

The story is this:, A fly, in pursuit of
sweets, honey orougar, descended upon an
open pot of mustardonistakiwr it, probably,
for St. Croix. W hat 0. disappointment !
The one so delicious--;the other so odious,
-so-statiiTeatingr—Two - 4tidittrr-C - hieFs - were
once at table. One of them seeing other
guests taking mustard With their roast beef,
helped himself to a spoonfill and swallowed
4he whole at a dose. Too stoical to com
plain, he preserved impertureable serenity
of muscle, involuntary tears only marking
his internal agony. "Why you weep !"
inquired the brother Chief. "Thinking of
my thther's death," was tice • reply. Pre
sently the other, who had seen his fellow
taste the mustard, helped himself, and swal
low the fiery portion. Tears streamed a
pace. "And why those sighs of sorrow?"
inquired the first. "1 was sorrowing," re
plied the other, "that you had not been buried
with your father." The fact is—that to the
fly, as to the Indian, the mustard was a com
plete take in.
A young man went to pay his addresses
to a pretty girl, whom he had seen abroad,
neat as a pink, and mild us a summer eve

unexpectedly one day, he heard the voice of
his charmer an octave above, and at least a
demi-semiquaver too rapid for good nature.
Standing a moment; he saw her riassthose
silken tresses in wild disorder, "streaming

A-19"w WAY TO PAY OLD bEeTs.—A rather
novel Way of paying old debts, or of having
them paid, occurred in our town a few days'
since, and is worth recording. The circum
stances as related to us are these: and we
give them that tWsy may be of benefit to
some of our fair 'Alders.
A buxom young lass; remembering the
proverb )landed down to us from time im
memorial, 'that reap year was the. girls'
time to go a courting," made this laudable
resolve, "that she would offer her services to
some one of the "sons of men," and if they
were not accepted, the flu* of her not being
married should nut be attributed to her." The
first attack of this love-sick fair one,was made
on an honest, hard-working son of the "Va
ter-land," who it appears had been foremost
in her thoughts for sometime previous. Af
ter sundry preliminaries, and after whisper
ing many soft things in his oar, she popped
the heart-throbbing question, "will you mar
'ry me.." This sudden appeal to his love
quite. amazed the artless DutChman, who
'was . udfilactised in the "deception that.lurks
in woman's heart." However, afte'• mature-,

chance should':Aot be lot slip unheeded, he.

on Dec. 4, a Skunk found its way into the
cellar ofJeremiah Malbone, Pomfret, thence
up a flight of stairs through a cat.hole into
a room where - the family were asleep, and
bit Mr. M's. son Philip, seven years old, in
the arm, and hand. The father awoke by
the child's screams, and Wen the animal.
The wounds healed over; but five weeks af
ter, the scars become inflamed, attended
with numbness and sharp pricking pains ex
tending to the head and back, and at the_end
of 45 days genuine hydrophobia exhibited
itself, and the child died after seven days of
agony. - Two hogs had been bitten, and died
