THE WAY LAWYERS USE FEMALES.
I instituted an action for a large
amount in the county of —. The
suit was brought upon a plain promis
sary note, which I was assured was foun
ded upon good consideration, and I was
curious to know what defence could be
set tip. I was aware that I had to deal
with a wiley adversary, and when I
offered my note in evidence, and closed
my case, I was more terrified than sur
prised when 1 heard him direct the Sher
iff to call Mrs. Jackson. She appeared,
and to my surprise 1 beheld a perfect
beauty, possessing a sweet countenance
—with exquisite form. I saw that my
antagonist had formed the same judg
ment .of human nature that I had, and
that he was about to make the exper
iment of washing away the obligation of
a note of hand by the tears of a female
witness. I knew that nothing but a des
perate effort could save my client, and
her testimony must be excluded before
she had time to cry.
I rose at once. " I perceive," said I,
addressing the court, " that this lady
bears the same name with the defendant;
I therefore respectfully request that she
be placed on the voir dire." This was
done. " Will you be kind enough to
nay, madam, what relation you are to
the defendantr
" Sir," answered the lady, applying a
beautiful embroidered handkerchief to
hor eyes, "1 am his injured wife."
" Then, of course, your honor, the
lady's testimony is inadmissable."
" Oh, very well," interrupted my ad
versary ; "you wish to keep the truth
from the jury, do you 1 Gentlemen of
the jury, you see that technicalities are
resorted to, to procure a verdict against
my client. I hope you will appreciate
it, gentlemen."
By this time the lady was a beautiful
representation of Rachel of old ; and one
glance at the jury was sufficient to con
vince me that my case was ruined. 1
turned to my client—" You are gone,
my friend," said 1.
" Gone !" said he, " gone ! my dear
air, don't give up my suit so cooly. I
shall be made a beggar if I lose this
case, and then what will become of my
wife and poor daughters ?"
" Oh, you have daughters, have you 'I
Run and bring them my dear friend !
If they mine we must countermine.—
Bring them, one and all!"
My client rushed out, and as he lived
but next door, he almost instantly re
turned with a half dozen as pretty girls
as could be found anywhere. My antag
onist's face fell to zero.
" May it please your honor," I began,
" I desire to offer some rebutting testi
mony."
"Rebutting testimony, C-1 why
your adversary has not been permitted
to examine his witness. What have
you to rebut /2'
" A great deal, your honor. The wit
ness has given some testimony. She
called herself the " injured " wife of the
defendant. Injured by whom 1 By my
client 1 Injured how 1 By procuring
this, the subject matter of the suit, from
him. Now, sir, I wish to swear the
afflicted daughters of the plaintiff,
against the injured wife of the defend
ant."
Here my fair witnesses commenced
weeping bitterly, while several of the
jury looked on with evident commiser
ation. My triumph was complete ; but
I determined to pay off my legal friend
in his own coin.
"I do not seek, sir," continued I," to
take up the time of this court and jury,
by administering the oath to all these
witnesses. I am afraid their heart-rend
ing description of this nefarious trans
action (of which be it remembered, they
did not know a syllable) would unman
us all; your honor and this intelligent
jury would be tempted to inflict sum
mary justice on the base wretch, who,
with a heart like Caligula, and a spirit
like Nero, could attempt to doom to a
life of beggary, or shame, and perhaps
of infamy, the offspring of my unhappy
—nay, too credulous, too confiding
client."
" Sir, in the spirit of liberal compro
mise, 1 will swear but three of them."
This caused a burst of anguish from
the daughters, and a corresponding and
prolonged excitement of the jury. My
legal friend soon saw that I had out gen
eraled him, and so he said, " C-,
stop your nonsense, and take your ver
dict !"
Of course I did so; but to show my
knowledge of jury, nature, 1 will add
that as the foreman passed me, he said,
"I rejoice that you have gained your
suit, but before you offered to swear
those witnesses, your case was a very
dark one!"
EP-A friend relates an occurrence,
which fell under his own observation
a few days ago, in Andover. A recent
immigrant had applied for employment
to a farmer, and being asked if he was
acquainted with all sorts of farm labor,
replied without hesitation in the affirma
tive. He was accordingly engaged, and
the next morning sent to 'hold the'
plough,' with the son of his employer
to drive. After the horse was tackled
in the boy gave him a start; but hearing
an exclamation behind, turned and be
hold the son of the green isle, ploughing
up the ground with his heels, which
were firmly set, while he was straining
every muscle to maintain his position,
and crying out; 'stop! stop! how can I
4ould the plough, if you make the horse
drag it away from me!'—.Saleni Gazette.
ErtquErrE.- 7 -Western people go to the
death on etiquette. You can't tell a
man here that he lies, as you can down
East, without fighting. A few days
ago, a man was telling two of his neigh-
bors, in my hearing, a pretty large story.
Says I, "Stranger, that's a whapper."—
Says he,"lay there, stranger!"and in
a twinking of an eye,
_I found myself in
the ditch, a quadruped, the worse of tear
and wear. Upon another occasion,
says Ito a man I never saw before, as a
woman passed him, "That isn't a speci
men of your Western women, is it'!"—
Say he, " you are afraid of the fever and
ague; stranger, arn't you ?" " Very
much," says I. " Well," replied he,
"that lady is my wife, and if you don't
apologize in two minutes, by the honor
of a gentleman, I swear that these two
pistols, (which he held cocked in his
hand,) shall cure you of the disorder
entirely—so don't fear, stranger !" So
I knelt down and apologised. I admire
the Western country much ; but curse
me if I can stand so much etiquette, it
always takes me so unawares."
[a•The Washington Union says that
"the glories of this war cluster upon
the brow of the President." We think
that martial glories are just about as
likely to cluster upon Mr. Polk's fore-
head as corns are to grow upon Santa
Anna's wooden toes.—Louisville Journ.

CHINA & QUEENSWARE HOUSE,
T[IHE subscribers, successors to S. TYN.
I DALE, would call the attention of the
Merchants and Residents of Huntingdon and vici
itny, to their stock of
-. CHINA AND QUEENS WARE,
Which we have no hesitation in saying is the larg
est in the United States, and which, in the greater
part. is made for, and imported by ourselves.
Any person having used Queensware or China
for a number of years, will notice the general dote
rioration in the quality—this is owing to the great
ly reduced prices. In some of the manufactories,
where a good name has been established, and pride
taken in their character, no such inferiority is ob
served—from such houses have we constantly en
deavored to make our stock, and we are determined
to sell our wares as low as any quality, whether
equal or inferior, can be sold in the U. S.
There is a prejudice against Chesnut Street,
raised from a false notion of higher prices. Our
rents on this street are lower than on any other
business street, and nothing else could possibly
make a difference. But no house can succeed
here that does not keep the best qualities of goods,
and this does not suit all—hence the prejudice.
We have every kind of Ware, from comtnon
Painted Teas, Edged Plates, Mocha, Granite,
Printed, Flowi •g Blue, &c. &c. to the finest China
and Glass.
We arc,anxious to extend our business, and
Isle every proper means of doing so—but not ma
king personal application to strangers here, we
have ne other means of doing it, than by the aid of
our old friends, by advertisint, and by the quality
and prices of onr goods.

Insensible Perspiration
S the great Evacuation for the impuri.
I
ties of the body. Life cannot be 'sus
tained without it. It is thrown oft 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 stoppage 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 im
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 perspira4
tion. The Thompsonian, for instance,
steams; the Hydropathist shrouds in
wet blankets ; the Homoeopathist deal
out infintissimals ; 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.
CONSUDIPTION.—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 12 year's stand.'
ing, and who had it regularly every wcek,i
so that vomiting often took place.
Deafness and Ear ache are helped
with like success.
COLD FEET.—Consumption, Liver Coin. ,
plaint, pains in the Side or Chest, falling
off the hair, one or the other, always
accompanies cold feet. It is a sure 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 iere is no
medicine known probably so good.
BUUNS.—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.
WORMS.—If parents knew how fatal
most medicines were to children taken
inwardly, they would be slow to resort
to them. Especl.:ly mercurial lozen
ges,' called medicated lozenges,' ver ,
miuges," pills,' &c. 'The until is, s
one can tell, invariably, when worms
are present. Now 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 litorms,
OLD SORES.—That some sores are an
outlet to the impurities of the system,
is because they 2annot 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- .
geney.
MIEUMATISM.—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 ,
ment will in all cases of levers almost
instantly unlock the skin and brings
forth the perspiration.
We hate cured 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.
CORNS.—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.
