Ayer'sSarsaparilla
A compound remedy, in which we have la
bored to produce the most effectual alterative
that can be made. It is a concentrated extract
of Para Sarsaparilla, bo combined with othex
substances of still greater alterative power as
to afford an effective antidote for the diseases
Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed
that such a remedy is wanted by those who
eutfer from Strumous complaints, and that one
which will accomplish their cure must prove
of immense service to this large class of our
afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely thU
compound will do it has been proven by exper
iment on many of the worst cases to be found
of the following complaints :
Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints,
Eruptions and Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers,
Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af
fections, Mercurial Disease, Dropst, Neu
ralgia or Tic Douloureux, Debility, Dys
pepsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rosa
or St. Anthony's Fire, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from Impurity op
the Blood.
This compound will be found a great pro
moter of health, when taken in the spring, to
expel the foul humors which fester in the
blood at that season of the year: By the time
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders .
are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, oy
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you hnd its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores ; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
blood healthy, and all is well ; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lasting health.- Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great machinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation, of accomphshing these ends. But
the world has been egrcgiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years the public have been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extracts of
Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the .
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.

THE: ARKANSAS TR.4TEL1ER.
In the early settlement of ArkaDsas, a
traveler, after riding some eight or ten miles
without meeting a human being, or seeing a
human habitation, came at length, by a sud
den turn of the wood road, to a miserable
"shanty," the center of a small clearing, in
what had originally been a "black jack thick
et, whence the only sound that proceeds is
the discordant music of a broken-winded fid
dle, from the troubled bowels of which the
occupant is laboriously extorting the monoto
nous tune known as the "Arkansas, or Radc
ensack Traveler " Our traveler rides up
within a few feet of the door, which was
once the bed frame of a cart body, now cov
ered with bear skins, and bung upon two big
wooden hinges. After much shouting, the
inmate appears, fiddle in band, and evidently
"wrathy" at being interrupted in the exercise
of bis art. The following colloquy ensues,
the indefatigable fiddler still playing the first
strain of "The Arkansas Traveler," which in
fact be continues, at sudden intervals, until
the dialogue, as will be seen, is brought to an
unexpected conclusion. If this be not "seek
ing lodgings under difficulties," we should
like to know what might be legitimately so
considered ;
Traveler 'Friend, can I obtain accommo
dations for the night with you V
Arkansas Artist' No sir nary commo-dation.'
Traveler '3Iy dear sir, I have already
travelled thirty miles to-day, and neither ray
self nor my horse has bad a mouthful to eat ;
can t you accommodate me for to-night :
Arkansas 'Artist' 'Just 'case it cant he
did. We're plum out of everything in the
house Aill s cone to mill with the last nub
Lin of corn on these premises, an '11 be nigh

Traveler i'ou surely have something that
I can feed to my horse ; even a few potatoes
would be better than no food.
Arkansas 'Artist' 'Stranger, onr eatin'
roots gin out about a week ago : vour chance
is slim thar.'
Iraveler 'Hut my mend, 1 must remain
witn you, any way. 1 can t co any lurtner
whether I obtain anything to eat or not. You
certainly will allow me the shelter of your
roofi'

premises, and me an the ole woman alius cc

Iraveler 'Allow me to hitch my horse

blanket 1 11 make a bed in the fence corner
Ark. "Artiet' 'Hitch your horse to that
Simmon tree in a norn l ay you must
be a natural tool, stranger ! Uou t you fee
that's me and the old woman's only chance

your horse is so tarnal hungry as you say h
is. he d girdle it as high up as he could reac
afore mormn . Hitch vour horse to that
tree? I spect not. ro, no, stranger,
can't come nary sich a dodge as that "
Our traveler, seeing that be had aa origi
nal to deal with, and being an amateur per
former upon the instrument on which the
settler was so ardently uttached, thought he
would change the tactics and draw his uetcr-tcrmined-not-to-be
'Lost' out a little before
informing him of the fact that he too could
play the 'Arkansas Traveler,' which once
being known, he rightly conjectured, would
be a passport to his better grace.
Traveler 'Well, friend, if I cant stay,
how far is it to the next house ?'
Ark. 'Artist' 'Ten miles f and you'll
think they're mighty long ones afore you get
thar. I came nigh into forgetting to tell you
the big creek is up, too bridge is carried off,
and there's nary earthly chance to ford it,
and, if jer bound to cross it, ycr'll have to
Co about seven miles up the stream, to old
Dave punchon bridge, through one of tho
bierest bamboo swamps ever you see. I
reckon tho bridge is staudin' yet 'twas yes
terday mornin', though one end had started
down stream about fifteen feet, or sich a mat
ter.'
Traveler 'Friend, you seem comaiunica
tive, and if it's no offence, I'd like to know
what vou do for a living.'
Ark. 'Artist' 'No offence on yearth,
stransrer : we list keep a grocery.
Traveler 'A grocery ! Where in the name
of all that is mercantile do your customers
.omfl from r Your nearest neichbor is ten
miles distant!'
Ark. 'Artist' 'The fact ia, me an the ole
woman is tho best customers yet ; but we
'spect these disrgens will improve, and m
course business will improve, too. Ilows'cvcr
we do suthin noic, even. Me and the ole
woman took the cart t'other day. and went to
town : we bort a bar'l of whiskey ; and after
we come home and 'gin to count the balance
on hand, we found thar war but just one
solitary picayune left, and as the ole woman
illers carries the tohss. in course she had it
L .
Well, I sot the bar'l agm one side of the
room, and shortly arter-the ole woman sc .
'Supposin you tap your end of tLc barl,' and
I did ; and she bort a drink and paid me a
picayune. Pretty toon I began to get dry,
and says I : 'Ole woman, spozen you tap
your end of the bar 1 ?' and 6he did ; and
then she sells me a drink ; and the way that
picayune has traveled back'ards and fb'ards
over the bung of that bar', is a caution to
them who loves 'red eye.' But. stranger,
losses is apt to come with every business ; and
me and the ole woman has lost some in the
procery lino , and I'll tell you bow 'twas.
The boy Kill, our oldest son, be saw how the
licker was coin', and didn't have nary red to
iino in the retail business : so one night be
crawled under the house, and taps the bar'l
atwlxt the cracks in the graooueon floor ; and
I r'ally believe he's got more than me and
the old woman ither; the good for nothin
vagadond, to come the 'giraff ' over his nat'-
ral born parents ; it's nuff to make a man
sour agin all creation ; that boy will be the
ruinaiinaiion oi us yet. Jle takes to trickery
is as nat ral as a hungry possum takes to a
len roost, ixow, stranger, what on vearth
am I to do ? He beats me and the old woman
entirely.'
Traveler 'It would bo difficult for me to
advise in regard to vour son. as I have no
family of my own. You say it's ten miles to
the next house ; the big creek is up ; the
bridge carried away , no possibility of fordice
it, and seven miles through a swamp to the
only bridge ih -vicinity ! .This is rather a
-.. -t " ii
gioomy pio&pi, particularly as me sun is
about down ; still uiy curiosity is excited. and
as you have been playing only one part of the
Arkansas Iraveucr ever since my arrival, I
would like to know, before I leave, why you
don t play tne tune throvgh V
Ark. 'Artist 'lor one of the best reasons
on yearth, old hoss I can't do it. I hain't
larn't the turn of that tchune, and drat me
if I believe I ever shall.
Traveler 'Give me your instrument, and
1 11 see if I can play the 'turn for you.'
Ark. 'Artist 'Look ahcre, my friend, do
you play the turn of that tchune Y
Traveler '1 believe I can.
Ark. 'Artist,' Lite, lite, old boss ! we'll
find a place for you in the cabin, sure. Ole
woman 1 (a 'hollo I' within the shanty was 1
the first indication the traveler bad of any
other human being on the 'premises,') the
ftranger plays the 'turn' of the 'Itackensack
Traveler.' My friend . hitch your boss to the
'simmon tree, or anywhere else you please.
Kill 11 be here Eoon, and he 11 take keer of

up from the spring ; tell Nance to go4nto the
spring house and cut off a good large piece of
boar steak to brile far the stranger's supper ;

get out some flour, and have some flour doin's
and chicken fixin's for tho stranger. (Bill
just haves in sight, twenty-four hours earlier
than he was expected a halt an hour before.)
Kill, O, Kill ! there's a stranger here, and
be plays the 'turu of the 'llackensack Trav

can have Futhin to set on, and skin a 'tater'

when you come to the house bring np a dried
hide and a bar-skin, for the stranger to sleep
on ; and then, Kill, I reckon he'll play the
turn of the Yilacbensack Traveler' for us.'
The 'punkiu' was brought; tho Maters'
were 'fctmnca ana eaten ; tne turn oi tue
'Rackensack Traveler' was repeatedly played
to abundant edification ; and the 'gals' finally
announced that supper was ready, and altho'
instead of 'store tea' they only had "sassafax
tea doins without milk, yet the repast was one
to be long and gratefully remembered. The
traveler remained all night, and was piloted
safdv over tha big creek early the next
morning, vjr a trutu, music lias cuarms to
soothe the savage breast !'
To see an old hunter or trapper in his
buckskin carb, armed with rifle, knife, and
tomahawk, is not a very unsual thing in the
city of St. Louis, for that town is the head
quarters of the Nortn Western Fur Compa
ny, and the names of the Choteau, Aubrey s
ike, are historically affixed thereto.
Some few years ago, I was sitting in the
reading room of the Virginia Hotel there,
conversing with a gentleman on business,
when an old man dressed and completely
armed as a hunter or trapper is when in his
accustomed ' wilds, entered and minutely
scanntd the feature' of every cne?present
He was evidently quite old, and very thin,
and feeble, loosing as if he had recently
risen from a couch of sickness. Yet his dark
eye beamed brightly, even "fiercely in its
sunken socket, and bis erect form seemed to
struggle against the mortal darkness which
prevade it.
The old man shook his head as be finished
his gaze around the room and muttering in
a low voice, "The cuss is not here !" be
turned away.
Having finished my business, I also left
and went up to the Planter's House where I
boarded. When I arrived, it lacked but a
few minutes of dinner time and tho guests
were gathering in the sitting-room waiting
for the gong to sound. I had just entered
when the old hunter, who had before attract
ed Tny attention also came in. and as before
commence! an inspection of every counte
nance.
Suddenly bis eye flashed with a fire more
fierce than I ever saw glow m human face
before, and be strode up to a young fellow
who bore the name of being the most daring
hunter of the North-West Company, of which
he was trading agent when on the hunt, and
the most reckless gambler and wildest bau-
chee of ihe crowd, when he was in the city

stepped up before him, and he caught

and clear as a bugle, rang in his ear.
"I have sought you long, Auguste St.
Vrain and found you ? Ptemember Edele I"
As he spoke, the oninious click of the old
man's rifle was heard. Astonished into silence
the crowd drew to cither side, while St Vrain
tearing his shirt bosom open, said in a low,
opeless tone :
"Fire old man, I deserve it 1"
The old hunter had scarce waited for the

Loekport, communicates the following reme
dy for scratches in horse?, which we have
seen tried with good enect :

Barney K is a resident of the 'Smoky
City,' and belonged to that sharp-witted class
who are generally 'up to snuff,' and not very
easily imposed upon. At one period be was
argely engaged in the wholesale and retail
grocery business, ana among nis numerous
customers was a contractor on the Pennsylva
nia canal, (then approaching completion,) -
who by some means managed to contract,
along with his original one, a pecular liking
for Barney During the course of his inter
esting acquaintance, be managed to get into
the affections of our hero to the tune of eleven
hundred dollars, which might be regarded as
a slight token of esteem.
t The honesty-of the contractor had never -
been questioned until near the close of hia
job, when it was whispered abroad that he
was preparing to take 'r reoch leave, of his
creditors, and for that purpose had collected
all his funds, and, perhaps, in a few days
would depart for a more congenial clime.
Karney heard the rumor, and gave it full
credit. He saw that he could only secure his
claim by 6tratagera, and accordingly he laid
his plans for coming the 1 ankee over his
customer. Passing along the street one day
he met Mr. Kuck. .
'Good morning, Mr. Kuck 'an bow are ye?
An' how are ye getting aloDg wid yer job V
was the ealution of our friend Karney.
Pretty well,' said Kuck. very confidently,
for he did not imagine that hi3 villainous
scheme was suspected. 'Pretty well, my old
friend, I expect the present contract to be
finished in a few days, when I will take a
new one.'
Is it farter away than this one '''asked
Karney.
No, it's rather nearer. and Mr. Kuck col
ored slightly.
An' don't you wish to buy a nice lot of
goods ? The owld stock must bo pretty nigh
sowld.'
Well, no,' said Kuck, hesitatingly. I
would rather not purchase until 1 enter on
niv new contract."
"'Och, man, it's a jokin' ye are ? Do ya
think ycr men can live on ihe wind and drink
cowld wather ? Coma along wid ye an' let
me sell ye about $3,000 worth .
Thus talking, Karney and Mr Kuck reached
the store. Afler some coaxing Karney sold
him a bill, consisticg of flour, bacon, coffee,
sugar and whiskey the latter an mdespensi
ble article in those days and the wholo
amounting to abont $3,000. The goods
were marked and rolled on the pavement.
After making out the bill, Karney presented
it to bis customer, remarking:
Mr. Kuck, dear, don't ye think ye could
be afthcr letting me have the amount of that
small bill that's due. This big purchase will
lave me rather bare, an' I muit have a little
to begin on again.'
Mr. Kuck feeling that 3,000 was better
than 1.100. with that philosophy so well
becoming the man, concluded to pay the old
bill, and still have $1,000 clear in the op
eration. The money was taid and a receipt
given, when Karney remarked :
I will have tho goods delivered lor ye
imagently. So ye need give yourself no far
ther about Ihirn.'
The place was designated where they were
to be taken, and Kuck went away. No sooner
turned than Karney called to

ing a scat on an empty bairel, to await the
return of Kuck, who. finding the goods- were
not fotthcoming, would como back to learn
the cfcuse.

One week afterwards, a few of us, who

as quietly as if he had laid him down by a
