I beg leave to call the attention of the citizens
rf the United States to the above Wines and Li
quors, imported by Udolpho Wolfe, of New York,
whose name is familial in every part of this coun
try for the purity of his celebrated Schiedam
Schnapps. . ilr. Wolfe, in his letter me, speaking
of the purity of his Wines and Liquors, says: "I
will stake my reputation as a man, my standing
as a mei chant of thirty years' residence in the
City of New Yortc, that all the Brandy and
Wines which I lottle are pure as imported, and
of the best quality, and can be relied upon by
every purchaser." Every bottle has the pro
prietor's name on the wax, and a fac simile of
his signature on the certificate. The public are
respectfully invited to call and examine for them
selves. For sale at Retail by all the Apotheca
ries and Grocers in Philadelphia.

Read the following from the New York Courier.
Euon.ious Business for one Aeio York Mer
chant. e are happy to inform our fellow-citizens
that there is one place in our city where the
physician, apothecary, and country merchant,
can go and purchase pure Wines and Liquors, as
pure as imported, and of the best quality. We
do not intend to give an elaborate description of
this merchant's extensive business, although it
will repay any stranger or citizen to visit Udol
pho Wolfe's extensive warehouse, Nos. 18, 20
and 22, Beaver street, and Nos. 17, 19 and 21,
ifarketfield street. His stock of Schnapps on
hand ready for shipment could not have been less
than thiny thousand cases; the Brandy, some ten
thousand cases Vintages of 1836 tol85G; and
ten thousand cases of Madeira, Sherry and Port
Wine, Scotch and Irish Whisky, Jamaica and
St. Croix Rum, some very old and equal to any
in this country. He also had three large cellars,
filled with Brandy, Wine, &c.i in casks, under
Custom-House key, ready for bottling. Mr.
Wolfe's sales of Schnapps last year amounted to
one hundred and eighty thousand dozeu, and we
hope in less than two years he may be equally
successful Kith his Brandies and Wines.
His busiuess "merits the patronage of-every
lover of his species. Private families who wish
pure Wines and Liquors for medical use should
send their orders direct to Mr. Wolfe, until every
Apothecary in the land make up their minds to
discard the prisonous stuff from their shelves,
and replace it with Wolfe's pure Wines and
Liquors.
We understand Mr. Wolfe, for the accommo
dation of small dealers in the country, puts up
assorted cases of Wines and Liquors. Such a
man, and such a merchant, should be sustained
aairt t his teus of thousands of opponents in the
United States, who sell nothing but imitations,
ruinous alike to human health and happiness.

DT MARGARET LY0S. "
A carriage stopped at the door, the bell
was rung, and a few moments afterwards
Amy Leslie had her arms around the neck of
dear good Aunt Phoebe . v
'Obi I am so glad to see you! . I am so
glad you've come!' exclaimed Amy, her face
glowing with pleasure. ' "' -:-
The old lady kissed her niece tenderly;
then held her off and looked at her with
motherly tenderness.
'Not a bit cLaoged! It is two years since
jou were - married, and your cheeks are as
round and blooming, and your e jes' as bright,"
as when I last looked into; them. A; happy
wife, I see. And why not? . John Leslie
was always a good son, and I hare .no fear
about his inakiDg a good husband lie was
a pet of mine, you know.' '
. 'les, L remember, said Amy. as she drew
her arm within Aunt Phoebe's and led Ler up
fctairs. He was your pattern young man.
But he isn't perfect. You don't know any
person until you've lived with them.'
: Aunt Phoebe stopped and looked up into
Amy's face a little curiously.
Oh, you need'nt fix you sharp eyes on me
after that fashion,' said Amy, laughing
Men are no more perfect than women.'
Husbands should be perfect in the eyes of
their wives,' remarked Aunt Phoebe.
'And wives perfect in the eyes of their hus
band?' 'Of course
'Then we are exceptions, said Amy, as
they entered the chamber prepared for Aunt
Phoebe. 'For neither of us thinks the other
perfect.'
Amy laughed again a gay little laugh the
sound of which was not pleasant to the old
lady's ears.
'IIow is John? she asked.
'Ob, he's well; and will be so glad to see
you:'
'IIow does he get along in business?'
'Very well, I believe. But he complains
of being worked half to death.'
'He's young and strong,' said Aunt Phoebe
'And a close application to business won't
hurt him.'
'Bat be comes home so tired out as to be
right down ill-natured sometimes And I
don't like that.'
I'm sorry,' was all Aunt Phoebe replied,
and then asked for the baby. . .
'Oh, he's sweet!' and a gleam of sunshine
irradiated the young mother's countenance.
'Come; he's sleeping in tht next room;' and
she drew Aunt : Phoebe into the chamber,
where her baby treasure lay. 'Isn't he love
ly, Aunt?'
Dear Angeir said the'old lady, bending
over the crib, and gazing with delighted eyes
upon the rosy infant.
'And so John is a little cross sometimes?
remarked Aunt Phoebe, as they eat together
in the sitting room, not long afterwards.
'Yes, as cross as a bear now and then, if I
must say to,' replied Amy.
'Oh, not so bad as that,' said Aunt Phoebe
'Cross as a bear is pretty strong language.. I
can't believe it of John
Amy's face grew serious; then fell into
deep shadow.
What's the matter, dear? You don't look
happy. Nothing wrong, I hope?' and Aunt
Phtebe laid her hand on Amy's arm and
looked at her rather anxiously.
'Oh, no nothing very wrong. Bat and
Amy paused.
But what? Nothing very wrong. Then
there is something wrong?'
Well, the truth is, Aunt Phoebe, John
isn't as amiable or good tempered as be used
to be. He's careless and disorderly about
the house, and if I say a word to him, he gets
into a huff. Now, if there is ono thing I do
lik, it is order and neatness at home; John
tries me dreadfully. I don't know what has
come over him.'
'I'm sorry.'
It was Aunt Phoebe's oply remark on that
subject at the time But she determined to
look on with open eyes, and see where the
evil lay, that was casting a shadow on the
heart of her niece. . .
'John will be borne in a little while,' said
Amy, as the twilight began to fall. 'Ah,
there is his key in the door, and that is his
step in the passage; and she went out to meet
him, closing the room door after her.
Aunt Phoebe listened as they moved along
the passage to where the hat rack stood.
'There!' she heard her niece say in rather
an unamiable tone: 'don't throw your bat on
the chair in that way. Why don't you hang
it up? . i
John made some reply, but she did not
hear it distinctly. His voice struck her as
being a little rough.
'On that lower peg again! Don't you see
that your coat touches the floor?'
' 'It won't hurt the floor,' came to Aunt
Phoebe's ears, in an annoyed tone.
Incorrigible!' responded Amy.
A few moments of silence followed. Then
she heard her niece say:
Aunt Phoebe is in the parlor.' ...
In the next instant the door flew open, and
John hurried across the room, and, grasping
Aunt Phoebe's hand, said, with warmth:
This is a pleasure! IIow glad I am to
see you! and be held her hand tightly, look
ing fondly into her face
A crowd of questions and answers followed
each other closely on both sides, in the midst
of which Amy broke in with: .
Don't put your.' foot on the round of that
chair, John; you'll rnb'the varnish off."
John removed hi foot' without making any
answer.; But Aunt Phcebe saw his brow
gather slightly with a sign of displeasure.
They went on talking, and presently the
voug mad, who had taken a eat near the
window, toob hold of th oord which looped
back the curtain, and commenced running it
through his fingers. - . ...
You'll fray that cord,! John, said . Amy.
Do let it alone!
-John still kept it in his hand as if he had
not heard her, and still toyed with it in an
absent way. ,
John, don't you'll ruin that cord.'
Mr. Leslie dropped it, without looking
towards bis wife, or replying, and still kept
on talking with Aunt Phoebe. , ...-"
Soon, in his earnestness, the young man
forgot himself again, Graspiag the top of
the chair which stood near him, and balancing
it upon one leg. he moved it backwards and
forwards with a see-sawing motion. Amy's
sease "of propriety was outraged again. The
act annoyed her, and she could not repress
her annoyatKiJ&!- This time she said nothfo,
but reached towards the chair to attempt to
remove it from his hand. John did not
choose to let go, however. ; Amy drew firmly
on the chair, and he held on to it firmly.
Let me have the chair,' said the persistent
little woman.
Do jou wish to sit down on it?' said John,
looking steadily into her face.
No, but'
Bat what?' asked her husband, knitting
his brows.
Why will you play with chairs in that
fashion?' said Amy, with slight irritation.
It makes me nervous to see you.'.
'I am sorry your nerves are so delicate,'
said John Leslie, pushing away the chair.
'My wife, Aunt, has grown as particular as
an old maid.'
Aunt Phtebe made no reply. She felt un
comfortable. For nearly a minute silence
pervaded the room. Then the tea bell rung,
and the scene changed. They were scarcely
seated at the table before John was guilty of
some little breach of etiquette which brought
on him a reproving word from his wife. lie
did not seem to notice her.
Why, husband, how can you do so?' broke
from her lips a few moments afterwards.
You really seem to be trying yourself.
'What has he done, child?' said Aunt Phcc
be, looking across the table in some surprise
at Amy.
- 'Done? Just look at his cup on the table
cloth. A nice stain it will make.'
Where are your cup-plates? asked Aunt
Phojbe.
Oh, dear! nobody has cup-plates now-a-days,'
answered Amy.
That's just it, Aunt.' said John. 'Our
Amy has grown excessively genteel. She
won't have cup-plates, and I'm not the fool to
burn my mouth with hot tea and coffee. Both
being self-willed, there haa, as yet, been no
compromise.' "
'Nonsense, children,' spoke out Aunt
Phoebe. 'This is a little worse than trifling.'
The old lady's rebuking tono rather chilled
them, and neither made any additional re
mark. But the buoyancy of their feelings
was gone, and was not fully restored during
meal time. After sapper they all went up
stairs into a cosy sitting room. They were
there only a few minutes, when John com
menced drawing off one of his boots, saying,
as he did so:
IIow my poor feet do ache. They have
been bound up in this tight leather since
morning,'
Don't take them off here!' exclaimed Amy.
Why don't you go over into our room? Your
slippers are there.'
But he paid no more attention to his wife
than if he had not heard her The boot just
removed he placed against the wall, and went
on deliberately taking off the other.
There, that feels better,' he said. I tell
you what. Aunt Phoebe, it's no joke to go all
day with a pair of tight boots on. My feel
feel as if taken out of a vice.'
Well,"" I'm downright ashamed of you,
John,' said his wife.
'I hope you will never have anything worse
to be ashamed cf,' he replied, and not in a
very kind tone of voice. "I think it is a pity
if 1 can't take my boots off where I please in
my own house
Oh. as to that retorted Amy, her face
reddening, 'you can take them off in the par
lor if you choope, and put them on the what
not for an ornament! I don't care.'
'I'm clad to hear you say that,' retorted
John. . ; .
You are?' said Amy, sharply.
Yes, I shall have some peace of my life
now.'
I don't understand you said Amy, show
ing some irritation of manner.
'Oh, it's very plain answered the young
man. lf 1 can leave my boots in the parlor,
I can leave them anywhere. Much obliged
to you for condescending so much.' .
And he laughed in a inockiog way that
was particularly irritating to his wife, who
lost temper, and said a great many things to
her husband; and then giving way to a pas
sionate flood of tears, left the room.
'Is that right, John?' said Aunt Phoebe,
looking soberly into the young mau's face.
Is what right?
Right for you to do what is annoying to
your wife?'
'She's no right to be annoyed with trifles
of this kind he answered firmly.
That is not speaking like a kind and sen
sible man, John. Your wife is neat and or
derly by nature,' and cannot help being an
noyed at what is disorderly. This is no place
for your boots ' - - .
I know it, Aunt. But when a man's tired
half to death on coming home4 he might be
excused far pulling his boots off anywhere
Yes, if he were more thoughtful of him
self than anybody else. Bat we won't dis
cuss this matter now. " I must go to Amy,
poor child.-
And Aunt PhoBbe arose and went from the
sitting room, leaving John Leslie in no very
comfortable frame of mind. She found Amy
in her own apartment, sitting on the side of
her bed, sobbing violently. Aunt Phoebe sat
down beside her,- and taking her hand, said:
. .'As soon as you have grown calm enough
to listen to me, I wish to say a few words to
you
Amy sobbed more violently for a little
while, and then, the paroxysm abating, she
became silent. . , .
'In the first place then," began the old
lady, 'I would like to know if it is in this
way that you receive your tired husband eve
ry evening when he returns from business?"
"In what wayy Aunt Phoebe? - I don't
know what you mean."
'In a fault-finding way, I mean.
"Bat, Aunt." Tcannot let him act in such
away?" - -
Stop, my child" said Aunt PLoebe.
You are wroDg. The love of your husband
is more to you than these trifles. If his heart
i -all right;: if he. is manly, honorable 'and
kind ; do not these qualities far out way the
small defects of which you complain ? You
did not meet him to-night when he came
home to you, with tender words, but in re
proof. It would have been but a little thing
for you to have hung up his bat, which he
thoughtlessly placed ou the chair ; or to have
raised his coat to a higher position on the
rack, if left too low for your fancy. You
would both have felt happier for this forbear
ance and attention on jour part, and surely
your own piece of mind and the happiness of
your husband, are things to be first consider
ed. What is the varnish on a chair-round to
the smile of a husband ? Or the freshness of
a tassol-cord to his tender and loving thought
of you : hy, child, you are throwing away
precious gems far glitter and tinseL Wast
ing love and gathering up bitterness of heart
for the time to come,. IIow much better
would it have been, when be drew of his boots
in the sitting-room, and complained of their
tightness and of his weariness, for you to
haveeaidto him, in kind consideration, 'I
will take your boots, John, and get your slip
pers That would have have been wisely
and lovingly done ; and he would have rewar
ded you with a gratified smile. But how
does it stand now ? lie is angry and you are
unhappy Are a few little home proprieties
to be valued more than love and peace V
Aunt Phoebe paused Amy locked at her
for some moments in a half-startled, half-bewildered
way, a light breaking in upon her
mind. Then she laid her face down against
her Aunt and wept for some time silently.
Am I not right, my child ?' said Aunt
Phcebe.
Yes, you are right, and I have been wrong
Thoughtless, foolish woman ! how weak and
uuwise I have been. Thanks, dear Aunt
Phoebe, for your plainly uttered reproof
When Amy returned to the sitting-room,
she had her husband's dressing gown on her
arm, and his slippers in her hand
Give me your coat; John she said with
a pleasant smile, 'here is your dressing gown.'
'Oh, you needn't have taken that trouble
returned her husband in surprise.
'It's no trouble, dear answered his wife,
putting her hand upon the collar of his coat,
and then helping him to remove it.
There she added, as she drew off the last
sleeve is your dressing gown, and here are
your slippers. I will take your coat and boots
over to the chamber
All this was so unexpected to John, that
the whole thing was dono before he had time
to object or remonstrate.
There was no more fault finding on that
evening ; co more sharp or complaining words,
but considerate kindness and gentle attentions
from one to the other. It was a long time
since the hours had passed away so pleasantly.
A shadow had fallen on the brightness of
their home ; a spirit of accusation had come
in ; alienation had begun ; their frightened
bark had passed from calm water to a troubled
sea; they were in danger of a shipwreck;
but Aunt Phcebe came at the right moment,
and by fitly spoken words, restored order,
harmony, and peace.
Is It Cheaper?
Is it cheaper to build jails than it is to ed
ucate your children in good morals, and thus
prevent their becoming inmates of our pris
ons? What sort of men will these boys make who
are allowed to frequent ram boles, to smoke
swear, and play cards?
Do parents suppose they can hold the reins
of government over their sons, while they
permit them to spend their evenings away
from home, subjected to all the evil influen
ces which are always concentrated in a vil
lage? Is it cheaper for a father to pay for the mis
chief which his sons do, than it is to bay
them a library of books? If parents would
keep their sons contented at home, let them
take good newspapers so as to furnish them
with mental and moral food.
Is it not cheaper to famish good books,
good papers, and plenty of them, for our chil
dren, than it is to let them go without, and
run the risk of their contracting a taste for
immorality, tobacco and 6trong drinks?
The daughters, too, should not be neglect
ed. Take papers and magazines for them,
give them something to think about and then
they will not grow up silly, weak-minded wo-J
men, who late no interest, in anyimng out
fashions, dress and flirtations.

A short distance ' from tbe city of .Mont
gomery, in the State of Alabama, on one of
the stage roads leading from that city, lives a
jolly landlord by the name. of Toed. - In fair
weather or foal, in hard iiaici of soft; Ford
would have his joke It waaaiiticr stormy
night, or rather morning, abouflwo hours be
fore daybreak, he was aroused from his (lum
bers by loud shouting and knocks at Lis door,.
He turned out, but sorely against his will,
and demanded what was the matter It was
dark as tar. and as be could see no ece, he
cried out : , : - -
Who are Ijou there ?'
"Burder, "and Yancey, and Elmore,', from
Montgomery was the answer, 'on our way
to attend court. Weare ,bi8nighted,and we
want to slay all night '--" -
Very sorry I can't accomodate you eo far,
gentlemen. Do anything, to obligs you. but
that's impossible .
The lawyers, for they were three of tlo
smartest lawyers in the State, and all ready
to drop down with fatigue, hell a brief con
sultation, and then, as they could do no bet
ter, and were too tired to go another stp,
they asked :
Well can't you stable our horses, and
gi7e us chairs and a good fire till morning ?'
Oh, yes. gentlemen, can do that!'
Oar learned and legal friends were soon
drying their wet clothes by a bright fire, as
they composed themselves, the few remaining
hours, in their chairs, dozing and nodding,
and now and then swearing a word or two of
impatience, as they waited till daylight did
appear. The longest night .has a morning,
and at last the sun came along, and then in
due time a good breakfast made its appear
ance ; but to the surprise cf the lawyers, who
thought the house was crowded with guests.
none but themselves sat down to partake.
Why, Ford, I thought your hou&e was so
full you couldu't give us a bed Last night ?'
said Border.
I didn't say so replied Ford.
You didn't? What in the name of thun
der, then, did you say ?'
lou as&ed me to let you stay here all
night, and I said that would be impossible,
for night was nigh onto two-thirds gone when
you came It you only wanted Dels, way

A learned pedagonge at Nantucket
used every morning to read passages in the
Bible, and expound the same as he proceeded
in ord.rthat by askiEg questions as to bovr
much they remembered of his comments, be

the school. On one occasion he read from
the book of Job thus:
"There was a man iu the land of Uz, and
his name was Job, who feared God and es
chewed evil K-schewed cvi" that is", he es
chewed evil as I do tobacco, be would Lave
nothing to do with it."
With this tery clear, and forcible elucida
tion of the word "eschew" he proceeded, and
a number of verses were read and comment
ed on in a similar clear and intelligible man
ner. After a long interval, when the young mind
had time to digest its food, the pedagogue
called upon one of the youngest boys', and"
the following dialogae enscled:"
' ho was the dan that lived in Ui.
"Job.
'Was he a good mau?"
"Yes."
"What did he do?"
."Ho chewed tobacco when nobody else"
would have anything to do with it, was Bob
Holmes' answer. The boy was permitted to
