THE QUESTIONER.
• BY ROBERT NICoLL.
I ask not for his lineage,
I ask not for his umbe—
l! manliness be in his heart
He noble birth may claim.
I care not of this world's wealth,
But slender be his part;
If yes you answer when I ask—
Has he a true man's heart
I ask not from what land he came,
Nor where his youth was nursed—
If pure the stream it matters not
The spot from whence it burst,
The palace or the hotel,
Where first his life began,
I seek not of ; but answer this—
Is he an honest man I
Nay blush not now —what matters it,
Where first he drew his breath
A manger was the cradle bed
Of him of Nazareth!
Be nought, be any, everything—
I care not what you be—
If YES you answer when I ask—
Art thou pure, and true, and free!

SHE'S A SEWING GIRL.
We have frequently heard the above
remark, when it excited in our mind a
sentiment of ineffable contempt for the
worthless piece of humanity that utter
ed it. It is a source of deep regret to
us that it should ever be our duty to deal
harshly with any portion of the fair sex,
who maintain a reputable standing in
society : but there are some, and not a
few, who, although their fame may be
unspotted, are so deeply imbued with
envy, jealousy and hatred toward those
of their sex s who happen to be less fa
vored of fortune s but more perfectly
moulded and finished by nature than
themselves, that their hearts are gall,
their souls are wormwood, their breath
is pestilence, whenever they can make
it convenient to speak to them. These
are they who, with a sarcastic leer and
a scornful turn of the nose, stigmatize
as "nothing but sewing girls," such fe
males as have the moral courage and the
virtue to work with their hands for an
honest livelihood, rather than be depen
dent, destitute or disreputable.
"Did you eVer see the like, how Mrs.
- dresses herself and children, of
late 1"
"La, yes, I've seen Hinny like her—l
know her when she was a sewing girl,
and her husband when he was a poor
carpenter, and worked for my father.—
Now they have got a little something in
the world, and they stick themselves up
for mighty somebodies. It's just so a'-
most always with such creatures. As
soon as they get a start in the world,
they forget the pbverty they sprang
from, and begin to put on airs of gen
tility. I can't bear them, for my part."
Reader, if you are a young man, and
should hear any thing like the above
sentiments uttered by a young lady, to
whom you are paying your addresses,
let that be your last visit. Even if you
are under promise of marriage, it would
be better to break off and incur the pen
alty of a breach of promise, than to be
united for lifd to one so utterly devoid
of that kind-hearted sympathy for those
of her own sex thus virtuously strug
gling with adversity ; and who holds it
disreputable in a young lady who is
without fortune or able friends, to draw
for support upon her own physical fac
ulties, in an honest and useful vocation.
We cannot conceive of any evidence
more conclusive, that a young female
possesses, in an eminent degree, that in
nate principle of virtue which would set
at defiance every seductive wile of liber
tinism, than to see her adorned with all
the native graces of her sex, heroically
braving the sneers of the proud and
scornful, and steadily plying her needle
as a means of independence. Such an
one rarely, if ever, fails to make a vir
tuous, affectionate and prudent wife, and
a good mother.
We never designedly listen to the
conversation of ladies in the streets ;
but we will confess that the above re
marks were prompted by hearing the
words which we have placed at the head
of this article, contemptuously uttered
by one of two ladies who filled a narrow
snow path so full that we were compell
ed to walk slowly after them for some
rods. We did not know them, but we
hope they may chance to light upon this
article for their own sakes. It will per
haps teach them to give their voices less
volume when they utter such uncharita
ble sentiments on the streets.
"Don't talk to me about your gun
cotton," said a gentleman, " I'll put my
wife against any invention in the world
for blowing people up. If the Govern
ment could get her to sit down opposite
San Juan deloa i the Mexicans would
leave instanter."

The Child at the Tomb,
A traveller in the East relates the fol.
lowing of a little girl:
a little child
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death 1'
At Smyrna, the burial ground of the
Armenia, like that of the Moslem, is re
moved a short distance from the town—'
is sprinkled with green trees, and is a
favorite resort not only with the bereaved
—but with those whose feelings arc not
thus darkly overcast. I met there one
morning a little girl, with a half playful
countenance, busy blue eye and sunny
locks, bearing in one hand a small cup
of china, in the other a wreath of fresh
Rowers. Feeling a very natural curios
ity to know what she could do with these
bright things in a place that seemed to
partake of so much sadness, I watched
her light motions. Reaching a retired
grave covered with a plain marble slab
she emptied the seed—which it appear
ed the cup contained—into the slight
cavities which had been scoped out in
the corners of the level tablet, and laid
the wreath upon its pure face.
"And why," I inquired, " my sweet
girl, do you put seeds in those little
i bowls there's"
" It is to bring the birds here," she
replied, with a half wandering look—
"they will light on this tree," pointing
to the cypress above, " when they have
eaten the seed, and sing'!"
"To whom do they sing 1" I asked,
"to you, or to each other 1"
"0, no !" she quickly , replied, "to my
sister—she sleeps here. '
"But your sister is dead."
"0, yes, Sir! but she hears all the
birds sing."
. . .
" Well — , if she does hear the birds
sing, she cannot see the wreath of flow
ers."
" But she knows I put it there; I told
her before they took her away from our
house, I would come and see her every
morning."
"You must," I continued, "have loved
that sister very much, but you will never
talk with her any more—never see her
again."
" Yes, Sir," she replied, with a bright
ened look, " I shall see her again in
heaven." •

WALLISTER'S
OINTIVIENT.
Insensible Perspiration.
THE preceding figure is given to rep
resent the insensible perspiration.—
It is the great Evacuation for the impu
rities of the body. It will be noticed
that a thick cloudy mist issues from all
parts of the surface, which indicates
that the perspiration flows uninterrupt
edly when in health, but ceases when
we are sick. Life cannot be sustained
without it. It is thrown off from the
blood and other juices of the body, and
disposes by this means of nearly all the
impurities within us. The language of
scripture, " in the blood is the life."—
If it ever becomes impure it may be
traced directly to the stoppae of the
" insensible perspiration." thus we
see all that is necessary when the blood
is stagnant or infected, is to open the
pores and it relieves itself from all ha
purity instantly. Its own heat and vi
tality are sufficient, without one particle
of medicine, except to open the pores,
upon the surface. Thus we see the folly
of taking so much internal remedies.—
All practitioners, however, direct their
efforts to restore the insensible perspira
tion. The Thompsonian, for instance,
steams; the Hydropathist shrouds in
wet blankets; the Homoeopathist deals
out infintissiinals; the Ailopathist bleeds
and doses us with mercury, and the
blustering Quack gorges us with pills.
I have had physicians, learned in the
profession, I have had ministers of the
Gospel, Judges of the Bench, Aldermen
and Lawyers, gentlemen of the highest
erudition, and multitudes of the poor,
use it in every variety of way, and there
has been but one voice—one united,
universal voice—saying, " M'Allister
your Ointment is good."
CONSUMPTION.—It can hardly be cred
ited that a salve can have any effect
upon the lungs, seated as they are with
in the system. But if placed upon the
chest, it penetrates directly to the lungs,
separates the poisonous particles that
are consuming them, and expels them
from the system. I need not say that
it is curing persons of Consumption con
tinually, although we are told that it is
foolishness. I care not what is said, so
long as I can cure several thousand per
sons annually.
HEADACHE.---The salve has cured per
sons of the Headache of It year's stand
ing, and who had it regularly every week,
so that vomiting often took place.
Deafness and Ear ache are helped
with like success.
COLD FEET.—Consumption, Liver Com•
plaint, pains in the Side or Chest, falling
off the hair, one or the other, always
accompanies cold feet. It is a surd sign
of disease in the system to have cold
feet.
The Salve will cure every case in
Scrofula, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum, Liver
Complaint, Sore Throat, Bronchitis,
Broken or Sore Breast, Piles, Chest Dis
eases, such as Asthma, Oppression,
Pains, also Sore Lips, Chapped Hands,
Tumors, Cutaneous Eruptions, Nervous
Diseases, and of the Spine there is no
medicine known probably so good.
BUR NS. -It is the best thing in the
world for Burns, (Read the directions
around the box.)
Pimples on the face, Masculine Skin,
Gross Surface.—When there is grossness
or dull repulsive surface, it begins to
soften until the skin becomes as smooth
and delicate as a child's.
Woaius.—lf parents knew how fatal
most medicines were to children taken
inwardly, they would be slow to resort
to them. Especially mercurial lozen
ges,' called medicated lozenges,' 'ver
mifuges,' pills,' &c. The truth is, no
one can tell, invariably, when worms
are present. Nov let me say to parents,
that this salve will always tell if a child
has worms. It will drive every vestige
of them away. (Read the directions
around the box.) There is probably no
medicine on the face of the earth at
once so sure and so safe in the expul
sion of worms.
OLD Sosss.—That some sores are an
outlet to the impurities of the system,
is because they cannot pass off through
the natural channels of the Insensible
Perspiration. If such sores are healed
up, the impurities must have some other
outlet, or it will endanger life. This
salve will always provide for such emer
il gency.
RHEUMATISM.—AImost every case cu
red with this ointment.
FEVERS.—In all cases of fever, the
difficulty lies in the pores being locked
up so that the heat and perspiration can
not pass off. if the least moisture could
be started, the crisis has passed and the
danger is over. The all-healing oint-
wient will itt all eases of fevers almost
instantly unlock the skin and brings
forth the perspiration.
We have cuied cases of Scald Head that
defied every thing known, as well as the
ability of fifteen or twenty doctors.—
One man told us he had spent $5OO on
his children without any benefit, when a
few boxes of the ointment cured them.
ColtNs.—Occasional use of the oint-
ment will always keep corns from grow
ing. People need never be troubled
with them if they will use it.
As a family medicine, no man can
measure its value.

SPRINGFIELD, Ky,, Mny 14., 1845,
Messrs. Sanford 4. Park—Gents :-1
take this opportunity of informing you
of a most remarkable cure performed
upon me by the use of Dr. Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry.
In the year of 1840, I was taken with
an inflammation of the bowels, which
labored under for six weeks, when I gra
dually recovered. In the fall of 1841, I
was attacked with a severe cold, which
seated on my lungs ; and for the space
of three years I was confined to my bed.
I tried all kinds of medicines, and every
variety of medical aid, without benefit ;
and thus I wearied along until the win•
ter of 1844, when I heard of "Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry."
My friends persuaded me to give it a
trial, though I had given up all hopes of
recovery, and had prepared myself for
the change of another world. Through
their solicitations I was induced to make
use of the genuine IN istar's Balsam of
Wild Cherry. The effect was truly as
tonishing. After five years' offliction,
pain and suffering, and after having
spent four or five hundred dollars to no
purpose, and the best and most respect
able physicians had proved unavailing,
I was soon restored to entire health by
the blessing of God and the use of Dr.
Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry.
I am now enjoying good health, and
such is my altered appearance that I
am no longer known when I meet my
old acquaintances.
I have gained rapidly - in weight, and
my flesh is firm and solid. I can now
eat as much as any person, and my food
seems to agree with me. I have eaten
more during the last six months than I
had eaten in five years before. •
Considering mr►y cure almost a mira
cle, I deem it necessary for the good of
the afflicted, and a duty I owe to th
proprietors and my fellow men (whu
should know where relief may be has')
to make the statement public.
May the blessings of God rest upoa
