    POETRY:
WREN 1 DIE.
Here is a little flower, from the Louisville
Journal, whose perfume is the soul of sweet
ness :
Will the friends I Tone be near me
When I die
Will they shrink to touch the pallor
Of the lips that turn to meet them,
Trembling with the last "Good•bye I"
May my father's arms enfold me
- When I die I
They will ehield my heart from terror
When I go to meet the Ando.
That beneath the flowets lie.
And my mother, sweetest mother,
When I die,
I would have thy voice to soothe me
Till it mingled with the music
Of the angels in the sky.
Brothers, sisters, kiss me often
When I die ;
And my lips will smile in closing
As if clasped in dreams so golden
That I will not wake to sigh.
Ah, the world will soon forget me
When I die ;
And its flowers will bloom as brightly,
And its birds will sing ns sweetly,
Though I loved them and I die.
'WIT AND EMNEORi:
Growing in Grace.
At a western conference the bishop pre
siding was the victim of heart disease.—
Over his head the sword of Damocles hung
ever suspended by a hair, the death's head
was never absent from his banquet, and
the dread of sudden death had discolored
all his ideas of life. He was the morbid
and sworn foe of everything like gaiety,
and while not sour or sullen, his piety was
weighty and lugubrious. It may well be
imagined that such a chairman bad trouble
to keep in order a man like Peter Cart
wright, with whom humor and drollery
are as naturil as to breathe. Brother C.
bad the floor one day, an d by his irresisti
ble fun, set the conference in a roar. 'Stop,
brothe , Cartwright,' said the bishop, I
eancot allow such sin to be committed
among Methodist preachers when I have
the charge of them. I read in the Bible
be angry and sin not. but I nowhere see
laugh and sin not. Let us bow down and
confess our offence. Brother Cartwright,
lead in prayer.' The backwoods preach.
er kneeled and repeated the Lord's prayer,
and :hen rising, said : "Look here, Mr.
Bishop, when I dig potatoes, I dig pota.
toes; when I hue corn, I hoe corn; when
I pray, I pray ; and when I attend to busi
ness, I want to attend to business—l wish
you did tno, and I don't want you to take
such snap judgment on me again.'
'Brothel.' slid the Bishop; in a moni
tory tone, 'Do you think you are growing
in grace ?' Yes, bishop, I think I em—
irs spots !' It is hardly necessary to add,
that the bishop gave him up as incorrigi
ble.
A NIGGER STORY. —Two dorkeys had
bought a muss of pork in partnership; but
Sam having no place to put his portion in,'
consented to entrust the whole to Julius'
keeping.
The next morning they met when Sam

495 Broadway, N. Y. 790 Chestnut St., Phila.
These Machines sew from two spools, as par
chased from the store, requiring no re-winding
of thread; they Horn, Fell, Gather and Stitch
in a superior style, finishing each seam by thei
own operation, without recourse to the hand
needle, as is required by other machines. They
will do better and cheaper sewing than a seam
stress can, even if she works for one cent an
hour, and aro, unquestionably, the best Ma—
chines in the market for family sewing, on ac
count of their simplicity, durability, ease of
management, and adaptation to all varieties of
family sewing—executing either heavy or fine
work with equal facility, and without special
adjustment.
As evidence of the unquestioned superiority
of their Machines, the GROCER & BAKER SEW
ING MACHINE COMPANY beg leave to respectful
ly refer to the following
TESTIMONIALS.

to every variety of family sowing, by simply
changing the spools of thread."—Mrs. Dirabef4
Strickland, wife of Rev. Dr. Strickland, Editor if
N. y Christian Advocate.
"After trying several different good machines,
I preferred yours, on account of its simplicity,

seam, After long experience, I feel competent
to speak in this manner, and to confidently re
commend it for every variety of family sewing."
—Mrs. E. B. Spooner, wife of the Editor o/ Brook
lyn Star.
"I have used a Grover & Baker Sewing Ma

"I had a tent made In Melbourne, in 1833, in

dle and twine,"
"If' Homer could be called up from his mur

spring of woes unnumbered."—Prot. North.

HUNTINGDON WARM SPRINGS.
The Warm Springs at the base of Warrior'.
Ridge, five macs north of Huntingdon, overlook
ing Standing Stone Creek, and environed by ro
mantic hills and woodlands, hove been leased
by the former proprietor of the Learner Nonce.
The extensive Hotel buildings, bath houses,
&c., erected at great expense by General A P.
Wilson, have been completed—and the groves
have been beautifully laid out and adorned.—
The Hotel parlors and chambers airy and com
fortably furnished; and the prospect, from th e
verandahs for beauty, cannot be excelled.
For• half a century, these Springs hove been
celebrated for their medicinal qualities, and the
great notate of the waters in rheumatic and chro
nic affections. The temperature of the water
being fief degrees, renders the bathing delight
ful and invigorating. In the surrounding woods
and mountains, game abounds, and the finest
fish are caught in Stone Creek. Persons in pur
suit of health or pleasure, will find this a most
delightful and healthful retreat; and its nearness
to the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the cheapness
of the rates charged guests, give it a decided
advantage over any other watering plane in the
State.
The Proprietor has had years of experience in
the business and no pains or trouble will be spa.
red to make guests comfortable.

ANTIPHLOGICTA. MT;
• • • • • • A Perfect Substitute
Por the Lancet. Leeches and Blisters 1!1
when the undersigned, after a long series of
laborious and costly experiments, became fully
confirmed in his conviction, that the Antiphle.
gistic Salt which he now has the happiness to
present to the American public, won
PEUFECT SUBSTITUTE
for Thood•letting, Leeches and Blisters, his
mind was so agitated that he could not sleep for
ninny nights. The cause of his agitation was
the striking fact, that the manner of its operation
like that of the vim in vaccination, could not
he satisfactorlaly explained upon any known
principle. How, in what way, it so effectually
subdued lallonimatory Disease and no others,
was at first wholly inexplicable—but, on further
experiment, it was proved that it eralizes the
fluids of the body, the want of an equilibrinin in
which, is the sole cause of inflammation. Such
is Its potency, that like the vaccine matter, :it
requires merely :vat adheres to the point ofa quill
dipped into a solution of it, to effect the entire
system—but must bo instantly used to prevent
decompos'tion and secure its full virtue. Three
quills in acute, and two in chronic diseases,
every 24 hours, till the heat, pain and febrile ne
tion have subsided, and a perfect cure effected.
When it takes the place of blisters, ointment
and leeches in local affections, as Brain Fever,
Croup, Toothache, Pleurisy, &e. its mode of
administration is two-fold. (See d irecliin of dis
solving. &c.)
The discoverer eas withheld it from the pub-
lic till now, by the advice of a judicious physt•
cian and valuable friend whom he consulted—
.
a gentleman known and felt in the medical
world—and who desired to submit it to the test
o f experiment. After witnessing under his own
scrutinizing eye, its signal triumph over both
acute and chronic hylammatory diseases, in re
peated and re-repeated trials, he offered $25.-
000 to come in as n special and equal partner in
the Recipe for its manufacture, hut the propo
sal wan rejected.
The disuse of the lancet and blisters, is de
manded both by humanity by humonity and
science. Is it not a mistake, to suppose that
a kettle of boiling water (the inflamed blood)
will cease to boil, by dipping out a part of it—
or a cask of bad cider (bad blood) be mode
good, by drawing a portion of it? Is it not a
mistake, to suppose that blisters:and rnbefacients
will remove inflammation, when they virtually
superadd one inflammation to another? The
late Dr. B. Waterhouse, of Harvard Universi
ty, said "I am sick of learned rinaekeq„' One
of the most eminent physicians In New England
acknowledged just before bis death, that "he
has been doubting for many years, wether I land
letting and blisters did nut aggravate rather
than arrest disease." Some who stand
high in the Old and New school, have quite re
cently ezpousnd his views and now openly con
fess, they believe the lancet, setons leeches and
blisters injure ten where they benefit one—
They think there is a meaning to bout. 12. 23
—Gen. 9, 4—andLevit. 17, 54—tnat "TIM
111.00 D to THE LIFE." It is not the excess of
blood (there never is too much) that causes di
serve, but the want of a balance between the
fluids and solids.
The special excellence of the Antiphlogistie
Salt, is that without the useless loss of blood
and strength, it effectually subdued inflammato
ry dinette), (no others) by producing an equili
brium of all the fluids in the body and a conse
quent uninterrupted circulation. It exerte, like
the vaccine matter, and extraordinaty influence
over the Tens and arieries—resulting in a grad
ual decline of inflammation as indicated by the
pulse, which assumes its natural state as the
heat, pain an o fever disseppear.
eir Many medicines offered for sale, are
backed by doubtful certificates, (their cheif vir
tue) and claim to be universal remidies, curing
all malidics—a burlesque on common sense;
As the discoverer of this Salt, solemnly protests
against having it placed in the categcry of
frauds and impotitions- he has resolved that it
shall go forth to the world, like the pure gold
dollar, with no otherpasspori than its true val
ue. If the public find it genuine, they will re
ceive it—if spurious, they will reject and con
demn it. Instead of being n panacea for all ills,
it has control over but one ill,—has but one ruin

INFLAMMATORY DlSEASE—whatever be its form
or locality—wether in ihe bead, throat chest oh

it does this?—simply by restoring the lust bal
ance between the fluids and solid,
The lidlowing different /mina which the un
balanced fluids nssame, and many not here men

(no others)are as perfectly cured by the Anti
phlogistic Salt, as fire is ettinguished by water.

Sworn statement of David McCreary, of Na.
pier Township, Bedford county.
In April, 1850, as near as I can rememembee
a small pimple tootle its appearance on my up ,
per lip, which soon became enlarged and sore:
I used poultices of sorrel, and II wash of blue'
vitrol, without effect. Finding the sore extend
ing I called on Dr. Ely, of Schellsburg, who'
pronounced it CANCER, and prescribed a wash'
of sugar of lead and bread poultices. Finding
these remedies of no avail, I called upon Dr.
Shaffer, of Davidsville, Somerset county, who
also pronounced the disease Cancer and gave
me internal and external remedies—the latter
consisting principally of caustic ; but all to no
purpose, as the disease continued spreading to
ward the nose. I next need a preparation of ar
senic, in .the form of salve. This for a time
checked the disease, I lit the inflammation soon
increased. I next called upon Dr. Statler of St.
Clairsville, Bedford county, who also pronoun
ced the disease to he Cancer, and applied a Salve
said to be a never-failing remedy, but it had no
effect whatever in checking the spread of the
sore. In December, of the same year, the di.-
' ease had eaten away a greater part of my upper
lip, and had attacked the nose, when I went to
Cincinnati. where I consulted Dr. R. S. Newton
of the Electic Medical College. He pronoun
ced the disease "a cutaneous Cancer, superin
duced by an inordinate use of mercury." U.
applied mild zinc ointment, and gave me inter
, nal remedies. My face healed up, but the in
flammetion was not thoroughly removed, In
Fehruary, .1857, be pronounced me cured, and
I left for home. In April the disease again re
turned, and se violent seas thepain that I could
not rest at night. Late in May I returned to
Cincinnati. and again placed myself under the
charge of Dr. Newton, with whom I remained
midi September, during which time he used
I every known remedy, and partly succeeded in
: checking the disease, but when I returned
11 home there were still three discharging ulcers
• ',non my face. I continued using Newton's
; preparations, and also medicine that I got from
; Dr. Ely, but the Cancer continued growing un
