Miscellaneous. SAFE AND WITTY. One of the old school books used to have a good story about Cardinal WOIBMV, who was hurrying to reach a city before the gate was closed for the night. Meeting a countryman, he asked if he could probably get in at the gate. The countryman, enjoying a good joke, looked at the portly body of the archbishop, as if estimating its girth, and quietly said : "I think you can ; a load of hay wont in this afternoon." Tne following is about as good : " As a pedestrian tourist," says the Orlean nuis, ' was lately proceeding towards Tours, he asked a man who was breaking stones by the roadside how long it would take him 'o reach that place ? The man looked at him without speaking, and then resumed his woik. The question was repealed wnh the same result, and at last the traveller walked on. He had not preceded more than a hun dred yards when the man called after hiin, and made a sign for him to return. When the pedestrian leached the stone breaker, the latter said to hun : " It will take you an hour to reach Tours." " Then why did you not tell me so at first?*' said the traveller. " Why," replied the man, it was nccessa ry for me to see at what rate you walked ; and from the way you step out, 1 am now able to say, that you can do the distance in an hour." AN ECCENTRIC PHYSICIAN- A friend relates t<-r ihe Agriculturist, the following anecdote of a skilful physician, Dr. M who is si ill practising in Riole Is land. Ho ha l away of doing things all his own, and no one Could tell beforehand, " where he would come out." On one <>c casion he was called to perferui a very tin portsnt surgical operation on a young man living in this country. Arriving there he found collected a large number of neighbor ing farmers and others, who had come from curiosity to witness the operation. He oh served that the house was scantily furnished, and other evidences of the poverty of the family were apparent, and he inquired wbelh er the mother, a widow, was ready to pan tile 850 he should charge. She replied that she could not at present, but he would do nothing until the money was paid, and ask ed them if they could not make up the amount, This was soon done, but not with out many condemnations of the hard hearted doctor, who, however, paid no attention to the remarks, but immediately went ud praises of those who had been just denouncing him as a grasping miser. USEFUL CAUTIONS. Ifa man asks you to go his security, say " No," and run ; otherwise you may be en slaved for life, or your wife and children may spend a weary existence, in want, sick ness and begrary. If you find yourself in possession of a counterfeit note or coin, throw it into the fire on the instant 3 otherwise you may he tempted to pass it, and may it to feel mean therefore as long as you live ; then it may pass into some man's hands as mean as yourself, with a new perpetration ol iniquity, the loss to fail eventually "n some poor struggling widow whose "ail" it may be. Never laugh at the mishaps of any fellow mortal. Tho very instant that you perceive your self in a passion, shut your mouth ; this is one among the best precepts outside of inspi ration. Th man who always exicts the last cert is always a mean ma. 13 there is no " -vicu ant" in all the " Materia Medica" efficient enough to " purge" him of his debasement ; he is beyond drnggery. Never effect to be "plain" or" bluif these aro the synonyms of brutabtv and boorishness. Strch persons are tnflio ing wounde which neither time n >r medicine can ever heal. Never be witty at an ither's expense ; trim generosity never dwelt in Mich a heart; it only wants the opportunity to become a cheat or rogue —Hall's Journal AN EYE TO BUSINESS. A legal friend in the west sen us the following : Several years ago I was practising 'aw in one of the many beaut iful towns in Wiscon sin. One very warm day while seated in my office at work, 1 was interrupted by the entrance of a boy, the hon of one < f my cb ents, Who had walked into town, six miles in a blazing sun, for the purpose t f piocuring a bible. He had been told, he said, that thete was a place there where they gave them away to people had no money ; he said he had no money and was very anxious to get one of the good books and asked me to go with him to the place where they were kept. Anxiouß to encourage him in his ear ly piety I left the brief on which I was ei - gaged, and went over with him to ihe stand of an old Presbyterian deac >n who had tie moch coveted books iti charge. I introduced him to the deacon telling him the circum stanceß. He praised the boy very hishlv ; was delighted to see a young man so early seeking after the truth, &c , and presented him with the be6t bound bible in his collec tion. Bubby put it i n his pocket, was start ing off, when the deacon said : " Now my son, that you possess what you so much de cired, I suppose you feel perfectty happy ?"

It either produce* or i produced by an en* reebted, vitiated state the blood, wherein -tW 11 * jjfethat fluid become# in- to sua tain IjSyK fyaFogrmthe vital forces in their BLfcSffL* Yl ttorouß action, and leaves to into disorder aod decay. The sqroifuloni, contamination is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, disordered digestion fro* unhealthy food, impure air, filth and fifcby habits, the depressing vices, and, above aR, by the venereal infection. Whatever be its origiw it is hereditary in the constitution, descending " from parents' to children unto the third and fourth generation ;" indeed, h seems to he tod rod of Him who says, " F will visit the intomi ties of the fatten upoti their childneu." TMb diseases which it originates take various Ram*/ according to the organs it attacks. In ton lungs. Scrofula produces ttibercles, and finally Consumption; in the glands, swellings whicn suppurate and become ulcerous sorts } til tbtf stomach and bowels, derangements which pro duce indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver conn plaints, on the skin, eruptive and cutanebu# affections. These all having the same origin, require the same remedy, viz. purification and invigoration of the blood. Purify the blood, and these dangerous distempers leave yoR. With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you eaq not have health ; with that •' life of the flesh' healthy, you canoot have scrofulous disease. Ayer's Saraaparilla is compounded from the most effectual anti dotes that medical science has discovered for this afflicting distemper, and for the cure of the disorders it entails. That it is far superior to any other remedy yet devised, is known by all who have given it a trial. That it does com bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect upon this class of complaints, is indisputably Eroven by the great multitude of publicly nown and remarkable cures it has made of the following diseases : King's Evil tf Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Ery sipelas. Bose or St Anthony's Fire. Salt Rneum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu berculous deposits in the Tongs, White Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases, Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole series of complaint* that arise from imppity of the blood. Minute reports of individual cases may be found in ATER'S AMERICA* ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein may bo learned the directions for its use, and some of the remarkable cures which it ha* made when all other remedies had failed to afford relief. Those cases are purposely taken from all sec tions of the country, in order that every reader may have access to some one who can speak to hitn of its benefits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far more subject to disease and its fatal results than are healthy constitu tions. lleuce it tends to shorten, and does greatly shorten, the average duration of human life. The vast importance of these considera tions has led us to spend years in perfecting a remedy which is adequate to its cure. This we now offer to the public under the name of Arm's SARSAPARILLA, although it is com posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the best of Sarsiparilla in alterative power. By its aid yon may protect yourself from the suffer ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out the foul corruptions that rot and fester in the blood; purge out the causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow. Bv its peculiar virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func tions, and thus expels the distempers which lurk within the system or burst out on aay part of it. We know the public have been deceived h> many compounds of Sarsapmritta, that promise much and did nothing; but thev will neither deceived nor disappointed in this. It* virtue have been proven by abundant trial, and there remains no question of its surpassing excellence for the cure of the afflicting diseases it is in tended to reach. Although under the same name, it is a verv different medicine from any other which has been before the people, and is far more effectual than any other which has ever l*;en available to them.
