    Perils of Falsehood.
The New York Dayßook quotes the
following beautiful language of an emi
nent writer:
When once a concealment or deceit
has been practised in matters where all
should be fair and open as the day, con
lidence can never be restored, any more
than you can restore the white bloom
to the grape or plum which you have
once pressed in your hand. How true
is this and what a neglected truth by
the great portion of mankind. False
hood is net only one of the most humil
iating vices, but sooner or later it is most
certain to lead to the most serious
crimes. With partners in trade, with
partners in life—with friends, with lov
ers, how important is confidence! How
essential that all guile and hypocrisy
should be guarded against in the inter
course between such parties ! How
much misery would be avoided in the
bistdry of Many lives had truth and sin
cerity been guiding and controling mo
tives, instead of prevarication and de
ceit. 'Any vice,' said a parent in our
hearing a few days since, 'any vice, at
least among the frailties of a milder
character but falsehood. Far better that
my child should commit an error or do
a wrong and confess it than escape the
penalty however severe by falsehood
and hypocrisy. Let me know the worst
and a remedy may possibly be' applied.
But keep me in the dark—let me be mis
led and deceived, and it is impossible to
tell at what unprepared hour a crushing
blow—an overwhelming exposure—may
come."
This parent was right. The first ex
hibition of such a detestable vice in a
child should be met with the severest
scourging. Lying of all kinds, whether
of malice, of concealment, or of vain
glorious boasting, is not only vicious
but contemptible, and, if permitted to go
unpunished in a child infects the whole
character with a moral plague which
will cling to the man to his grave.
'Bob,' said a tormenting friend to a
bachelor acquaintance, 'why don't you
get marriedl'
'Well I don't know. I came very near
it once; just missed it.'
'You dim 1 Let's hear it 1'
'Why. I asked a girl if I should see
her home, one evening, and she said
'No!' If she had said 'Yes,' I think 1
should have married her.'
A sailor being asked if he were allow
ed to gratify three wishes, what would
they be
'My first wish would be for all the
rum in the world.' 'And the nextV—
'All the tobacco in the world." Now,
the third l' Jack was at a loss, turned
Isis quid with his tongue, and at last
answered, , 11 hy, darn my eyes, a little
more rum.'
Qom' Can you tell me, Jim, where
they get so much corn from to manufac
ture into whiskey 1'
' Why, no,' says Jim, 'but I can tell
very well where the corn comes from
after the whiskey is model'
STREET PREACHERS.—Joseph Barker, Ilugh
Kirkland and John Sharp, (street preachers,)
have been indicted for nuisance, and their trial
is now in progress in the Court of Quarter Ses
sions at Pittsburg. The offence laid is the ob
struction of the street or highway, and using
obscene quotations from Den's throlog, y, Ligon
ri, and the Garden of the soul.
A Few THINGS TO AVOID.—A bottle of
wine at a public dinner. A short cut
when you are in a hurry. Walking be
tween two umbrellas on a riany day,—
Just another glass before you go:—
Going to church without a shilling. Be
ing the mediator of a quarrel between a
man and his wife. And, lastly, taking
tt new hat to an evening party.
4 My friend,' said a keeper of a hotel
to an over-voracious boarder, you eat
so much that I shall certainly have to
charge an extra half dollar." An ex
tra half dollar !' replied his boarder,
with a countenance the very picture of
despair. 4 For goodness sake don't do
that; I'm most dead now eating three
dollars worth and if you put an extra
half dollar's worth on, I shall certainly
'bust'--I shall.'
87. A celebrated eccentric preacher
was once warned that he must be very
guarded in his language in a town where
he was to preach,-'tor the people were
noted for their high ititelectual and mo
ral character. On observing a great
number of molattoes in the gallery, he
said as he arose--' Brethren and sisters,
I have been told that I must be very
Careful in my language—that I am to
address a highly intellectual and tnoral
congregation ; but I would just like to
ask a question of this moral congrega
tion Where did all them yaller gals in
the gallery come from I'
re• A stammering blacksmith atten
ding as a witness at the county court in
a money dispute, between two of his
men, was asked by the judge why he
did not advise them to arrange the mat
ter. His answer was,--- , I to-old the fo-o
-ols to se-e-ttle ; for I said the clerk
would take their co-ate, the lawyers
their sh-i-rts, and if they got in your
honors clutches, you'd skin 'em.'

[CP- WHAT IS THE MATTER with
me, Doctor? What is the cause of this sallow
complexion, jaundiced eye, depression of spirits,
pain in the side and shoulder, wearinest, of body,
bitter taste in the mouth Such is the inquiry,
and such the symptoms of many a sufferer! It
is the liver which is diseased, and the Cholagogue
is the remedy always successful in curing tt.
Try it, and judge for yourself. For sale by
above named agents.
ID— BETTER DIE THAN LIVE, if
I am to be tortred from day to day with this
horrible Ague, exclaims the poor sufferer whose
life has become a burden from the racking parox
ysms of an intermittent, and whose confidence
in human aid iv destroyed by the failure of rem
edies to produce tha promised relief. Such has
been the situation of thousands who ore now
rejoicing in all the blessings of health from the
use of Dr. Osgood's India Cholegogue. In no
instance does it fail to effect a speedy and perma

"How few who think aright among the thinking
few,
How many never think, but only think they do."
Kr THE SENTIMENT IMPLIED
in the above exclamation is on no sut•ject more
fully exemplified than on that of health. But
few give it a single thought, and fewer still re
flect upon it with the observation and good sense
which matters of minor consequence receive.
As observation teaches the tact that Dr. Osgood's
India Cholagogue is a never failing remedy in
Fever and Ague, good BCIIBC would surely indi
cate its prompt and immediate use. For sale by
the above named agents.

Severe Case ofDyspepsia.
From R. P. STOW, Esq., .dsst. Clerk
U. S. House Representatives.
WASHINGTON, D. C.,June 15,1846.
Dn. Gso. B. GREEN: --Dear Sir—l feel it not
only a pleaeure, but a duty, to make known to
you and to the public, (if you desire it.) the sur
prleing effects of the Oxygenated Bitters," ill'
relieving me from that most discouraging tlisor.!
der, Dyspepsia. I have been afflicted for about
seventeen years with the usual attendant symp
toMs, viz: constipation of the bowels, headache,
pain tit the cheat, flatulence. acidity of the atom =
ach, and ileinte !lemma; and for months at a time
not the least particle of moisture would appear
on the surface of the chest or limbs, and most
of the time I was etfreinety bilious. I have used
various remedies, have been strict in my diet;
have been dosed with calomel and emetics day
after day by physicians, but all to no pia pur
pose. Hearing of the wonderful effects of the
"Oxygenated Bitters," in the cure of Dyspepsia;
I procured some as a last resort , have used four
bottler' of the medicii e, and find the bad sytnti;
tome all removed, and myself once more in the
enjoyment of health. None but the DyspePiii
sufferer, who has felt all the horrors of the die. ,
ease, can at all appreciate the value of the medi:
tine. I most sincerely hope that all will make'
trial of the medicine, and with me be able to re
joice in ihe return of health.
Lady Cured of Neuralgia.
From Rev. T110.41./IS KIDDER, of
Vermont.
Wtstison, Vt.,Aug.5,18413.
Been SIR gives me great pleasure to in
form you that the Oxygenated Bitters," with
which you furnished my wife, has wrought a
cure in her case. About two years since, say
wife was violently attacked with neutalgia in
the face, through the chest, in the wrists and
ankles. So violent was the disease, added to a
general derangement of the female system, that
her strength was completely prostrated, her flesh
wasted, and she rendered miserable indeed. I
feel grateful for the restoration of her health, and
in duty bound to give puldietty to the above
facts, that others similarly afflicted may know
where to seek for cure. Truly your friend,
THOMAS RIDE/ER.
From lion. .3/"YROX L. , ITYREATE,
of Mass.
"For some twenty years I had sufferdsevere
ly from humoral Asthma. I was compelled to
sit up one-third of the night, and the rest of the
time my sleep was interrupted by violent Ills of
coughing and great (lithe' hy of breathing. In
all my attendance upon our courts I never went
to bed in Northampton in twenty years but twice,
and then was compelled to get up. Now I lie
in bed without difficulty, and sleep soundly,
tools the " Oxygenated Bitters," according to
directions. The violent symptoms immediately
übnted, and perseverance in the use of tl c ICER
edv Ins removed all its troublesome consequen
ces. Phe value of such a remedy is incalculabl e ,
and I hope its virtues may be widely diffused end
its beneficent agency extensively employed."
