UTERINE CATHOLIC ON.
The undersign
ed, having been
d u 1 y appointed
Agent for the sale
: of this truly fn-
" VALUABLE MEDI
CINE, would re
spectfully invite
the attention of
Ladies and Prac
titioners of Louis
ville and vicinity,
to the gratifying
success that has
attended its use
' wherever intro
duced, aud its happy adaptation to the cure of
all the distressing diseases for which it is of
fered ; being those incidental to the respecta
ble female, whether married or single, and
usually known by the name ol Female Com
plaints. Of these are Prolapsus Uteri, or
Falling of the TVomb; Fluor Alims, or Whites;
Chronic Infiamation and Ulceration of ike
Womb; Incidental Haemorrhage, or Flooding;
Painful, suppressed and Irregular Menstrua
tion, c$-e., with all their accompanying evils,
(Cancer excepted,) no matter how severe or of
how long standing.
That this Catholicok Is in every way wor
thy of the confidence of the afflicted as a suc
cessful, safe, and cheap remedy, is vouched for
by the fact of its having received the approbat
tion and liberal patronage of nuuiy prominen-
members of the
medical faculty
in the United States; and also by the volunta
ry testimonials given in the pamphlets, from
Ladies and Physicians of the highest respect
ability, as certified by the most satisfactory
authority.
This preparation is not a “cure all,” but is
intended expressly for the above-named com
plaints, so very distressing in their nature and
consequences, and which have heretofore re
sisted the skill and exertions of the most ac
complished Physicians of all countries, toa
degree beyond that of perhaps any other ma
lady to which the Human family is heir.
The ingredients, as certifieed by high med
ical authority, (see pamphlet,) are all vege
table, and are not associated with any article
unfriendly to the aDimal economy.

POETRY.
Noblemen.
The noblest men I know on earth
Are men whose hands are brown with toil,
Who, backed by no aneestral birth,
Hew down the woods and till the soil,
And thereby win a prouder fame
Than follows king or warrior’s name.
The workingmen! whate’er the task,
To carve the stone, or bear the hod—
They wear upon their honest brow,
The royal stamp and seal of God f
And brighter are their drops of sweat,
Than diamonds in a coronet.
God bless the noble working men,
Who rear the cities of the plain :
Who dig the mines and build the ships;
And drive the commerce of the main r
God bless them - for their swarthy hands
Have WTonght the glory of all lands.

ful for past patronage,
Mjwould respectfully inform
his Mends, patrons and the public generally,
that he continues to put up all kinds of ve
hicles—of his own manufacture—from a Jer
sey wagon to a pleasure Carriage. He feels
esnfident that his prices will be found low
enough to induce those who desire to purchase
anything in his line to give him a call. He chal-
leriges'ahy other establishment in the State,
in point of cheapness and durability; and lie
will warrant his work to stand equal to, if not
better, than the best, northern work. He in
vites all—both great and small—to call and ex
amine his present stock of BUGGIES; Fancy
WAGONS for families, a neat, convenient
and cheap one-horse vehicle; one and two
horse Wagons, &c. Also second hand Bug
gies, which will be sold extremely low. He
will sell new r Buggies cheaper than the same
article can be bought in Savannah or Macon
and laid down here. Any who may doubt this
assertion are invited to test its truth by a trial
of the markets. He is determined to sella

The notorious Theodore Parker had the
audacity to preach a half eulogistic, half de
moniac sermon in Boston upon the death
of Daniel Webster. Praise from such lips
were almost enough to make the great dead
man turn in his coffin. The serpentlike hiss
and the blasphemous rhetoric apparent in
a portion of the discourse, were more in
keeping with the character of the speaker,
and we may add more complimentary to-
the reviled deceased.
But what shall be said for the instincts
of a man whose hatred stops not at the por
tals of the grave, but who invades the house
of death with his malevolent curses and im
potent ravings ? We quote briefly from
the discourse, which is published in full, in
the New York Tribune, for the double pur
pose of showing tip the vile passions that
rule its hypocritical author and the estima
tion in tthich Abolitionists hold the depart
ed statesman and patriot
Speaking of Mr. Webster’s effort in be
half of the Union, Parker says :
“What was the motive of all this ? It
was to ‘save the Union.’ Such was the cry.
Was the Union in danger ? Here were
few non resistants at the North, who said :
‘We will have no Union with slaveholders.
There was a party of seceders at the South,
who periodically blustered about disunion.
Could these men bring the Union into peril?
Did Daniel Webster think so ? I shall nev
er insult that giant intellect by the thought.
He knew South Carolina, he knew Georgia
very well, lie knew there was no danger
of the dissolution of the Union. But here
is a proof that lie knew it. In 1850, on the
22d of December, he declared ‘There is no
longer imminent danger of the dissolution
of the United States. We shall live and
not die.’ But soon after he went about sav
ing the Unon again, and again, and again-
saved it at Buffalo, Albany, Syracuse, and
then at Capron Springs.
Here is another specimen :
Do men mourn for him, the great man
eloquent ? I put on sackcloth long ago;
I mourned for him when he wrote the Cre
ole letter, which surprised Ashburton, Brit
on as he was. I mourned when he spoke
the speech of the 7th of March. I mourn
ed when the Fugitive Slave Bill passed Con
gress, and the same cannons that have fired
“minute guns” for him, fired also one hun
dred rounds of joy for the forging of a new
fetter for the fugitive’s foot. I mourned for
him when the kidnappers first came to Bos
ton—hated then—now respectable men, tbe
companions of princes, enlarging their tes
timony in the Court. I mourned when my
own parishioners fled from the ‘stripes’ of
New England to the ‘stars’of Old England,
I mourned when Ellen Craft fled to my
house for shelter and for succor ; and for
the first time in all iny life, I armed this
hand. I mourned when the Courthouse
was hung in chains, when Thomas Sims,
from his dungeon, sent out his petition for
prayers, and the churches did not dare to
pray. I mourned, when I married William
and Ellen Craft, and gave them a Bible for
their soul, and a sword to keep that soul
living and in a living frame. I mourned
when the poor outcast in yonder dungeon
sent for me to visit him, and when I took
him by the hand, that Daniel Webster was
chaining in that house.
And here:
He wanted to be President. That was
all of it. He must conciliate the South.—
This was his bid for tbe Presidency—fifty
thousand square miles of territory and ten
millions of jollars to Texas; four new Slave
States ; Slavery in California and New Mex
ico ; the Fugitive Slave bill; and two hun
dred millions of dollars offered to Virginia
to c rry free men of color to Africa.-
He never labored so before; and he was
al ways a hard working man. What speech
es he made at Boston, New York, Philadel
phia, Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse, Annapolis.
What letters he wrote. His intellect was
never so active before, nor gave such proofs
of such herculean power. The fountains of
his great deep were broken up—he rained
forty days and forty nights, and brought on
a flood of slavery over this whole land ; it
covered the market, and ware; house, and the
College, and rose high over the tops of the
tallest steeples !
After the 7 th of March; Mr Webster be-
the hero of Bunker Hill put chains around
Boston Courthouse; the applauder of Ad
ams and Jefferspn was a tool of the slave
holder and the-keeper of slavery’s dogs, the
associate of the kidnapper, arid tbe mocker
of men who loved the right, * *
Think of him at Buffalo, Albany, Syra
cuse, scoffing at modern men who periled
their lives, their fortunes and their sacred
honor, to visit the - fatherless and the wid
ows in their affliction, and to keep them
selves unspotted from the world ? Think of
him threatening with the gallows^such as
clothed the naked, fed the needy, visited the
prisoner and gave a cup of cold water to him
that was ready to perish. Think of Daniel
Webster become the assassin of liberty in
the Capitol.
But what was the recompense? Ask
Massachusetts—ask the North. Let the
Baltimore Convention tell. He was the
greatest candidate before it. Gen. Scott is
a little man; when the feathers are gone.—
Fillmore you know him. Both of these, for
greatness of intellect compared to Webster,
were as a single maggot measured by an
eagle. Look at his services: look at his fore
head: look at his face 1 The two hundred
and ninety three delegates came together
and voted. They gave him thirty-three
votes, and that only once I Where were
the men of the “lower law,” who made de
nial of God the first principal in their poli
tics—where were they who in Faneuil Hall
scoffed and jeered at the “higher law” or at
Capron Springs who “laughed” when he
scoffed at the law higher than the Virginia
bills? Where were the kidnappers? the
“lower law” men ? Kidnappers strained
themselves to the utmost, and he had thirty
three votes. Where was the South ? Fif
ty three times did theConvention ballot, and
the South never gave him a vote. Not a
vote. No l not one ?
• But enough:
Woman’s Rights,
Didn't Know Beans.—On a late trip of
one of the New Orleans steamers, she was
crowded with German emigrants. As might
be expected, their appetite for fruit and veg
etables, after a long sea voyage, was most vo
racious; At Selma, a short distance below St.
Louis, the boat received some fifteen or twen
tv sacks of castor beans consigned to Mr.
Blow. The appearance of the bean, ‘good
to the eye,’ excited the cravings of the em
igrants. Finally the curiosity and appetite
triumphed ; a bag was surreptitiously open
ed, a large pan full extracted, and a huge
luncheon of soup prepared. In a short
time, the passengers in the cabin, and the
officers of the boat, were startled by the re
port that the cholera, in the worst form had
broken out on deck. ' On going below they
found that the castor oil was doing its work.
The bag lay exposed, and a large pot full of
this rare delicacy steaming hot on the table.
The thing was soon solved, and the Cap
tain had to go into quarantine, because, as
he said the Dutch “didn’t know beans I”
Intercourse of the Sexes.—Neal asks the
questron. “What makes those men who
associate habitually with woman superior to
others ? What makes the woman who is
accustomed and at ease in the society of men
superior to.her sex in general? Why are
the women of France so universally admired
and loved for their colloyqnial powers ?—
Solely because they are in the habit of free,
graceful and continued conversation with
the other sex. Women in this way lose
their frivolty, their delicacies and peculiari
ties, unfold all their beauty and captivation
in the spirit of intellectual rivalry. And
the men lose their'pedantic,, rude, declama
tory or sullen manner. Their asperities are
rubbed off, tbeir better materials polished
and brightened, and their richness like fine
gold, is wrought into finer workmanship by
the fingers of women. The iron and steel
of the character are hidden like the harness
and armor of a giant, and studs in knots of
gold and precious stones when they are not
wanted in actual warfare-’^
“Dear mother,” said a delicate little girl,’
I have broken your china vessel.”
“Well, you are a naughty, careless, trou
blesome little thing always in mischief; go
up stairs till I send for you.”
And this was a Christian mother’s an
swer to the tearful little culprit, who had
struggled with and conquered temptation
to tell a falsehood to screen her fault!
With disappointed, disheartened look, the
child obeyed; at that moment was crushed
in her little heart thesweet flower of truth,
perhaps never again in after years to be re
vived to life. Oh, what were a thousand
vases in comparison!

a Story of Leap Year.
Sam Smith sat at home on Now-year’s
day in deshabille. His beard was unsha
ven, his hair uncombed, his Jong boots were
unblocked and he was leaning baek in a
picturesque attidue, wilh his heels against
the mantle-piece, smoking a cigar. Sam
thought to himself that as it was leap year
how glorious it would be if the ladies would
pop the question in accordance with their
ancient privileges.
As he sat watching the smoke which so
gracefully curled, his fancy glowed with
the idea, how delightful it would be to have
the dear creatures fondling on him,and with
their tender glances endeavoring to do the
agreeable.
As he meditated, his heart softened, and
he* began to feel a squeamish, -womanish
sensibility diffuse over his feelings, and he
thought he would faint with propriety tbe
first tithe a lady should squeeze his hand.
Rap, rap, rap, sounded at the door; Sam
peeped through the Venetian blinds.
“iMercy.” exclaimed he, “if there isn’t
Miss Jones, and I all deshabille, and look
ing like a fright good gracious. I must go
right away and fix myself.”
As he left the room, Miss Jones enter
ed, and with a composed air intimated that
she would wait. Miss Jones was a firm be
liever in woman’s rights, and now that the
season was propitious,, she determined to
ake advantage thereof, and do a little
courting on her own hook. It was one of
woman’s privileges, which had been usurp
ed by the tyrant maa, and she determined
to assert her rights in spite of the hbMow
formalities of the false system of society.
“Dearest, how beautiful you look,” ac
companying her words with a glance of un
designed admiratiou.
“Spare the blushes of a modest young
man,” said Sam, applying the cambric to
bis face to hide his confusion.
“Nay, my love, why so coy ?” said Su
san ; “turn not away those beautiful eyes,
dark as jet, but sparkling as the diamond.
Listen to the vows of fond affection. Here
let Us rest,” said she, drawing him to the
sofa, “there, with my arm around,thee, will
I protect my true affection.”
“Leave, oh ! leave roe l” murmured Sam,
“think of tiiy youth and experiefice—spare
my palpitating heart.”
“Leave thee !” said Susan, pressing him
closer to her, “never until thestory of rest
less nights, of unquiet days of aspiration,
fond emotions and undying love is laid be
fore thee. Know that for years I have
nursed for thee a secret passion. Need I
tell you how each manly beauty moved me;,
how I worshipped like a sun flower in the
lurid light of those raven tresses ; how my
fond heart was entrapped in the meshes of
thoso magnificent whiskers, how I would
yield to the government of that imperial;
thy manners so modest, so delicate, en
chanted me—joy to me—for thy joy was
my joy. My heart is forever thine—take
it—but first let me snatch one kiss from
those ruby lips.”
The overwhelming feelings of the deli
cate youth were too strong, and he fainted
from excess of joy. Meanwhile, the enam-
orated maiden hung fondly over him, and—
Slowly the eyes of Samuel Smith open
ed—he gazed wil-d-ly about him—then meet
ing the ardent gaze of his lover, he blush
ed deeply, and from behind his handker
chief faintly faltered out. “Ask my ma.”
How Hard They Take It.—-“A young
lady of our acquaintence,” says a friend in
a recent note to the editor, “riiarried re
cently, and the mother ofber husband be
ing in very poor health, she was taken im
mediately home by her liege lord to nurse
arid take care of the “old folks.” In the
course of a few months the mother was re
moved by death. The dutiful, and sym
pathising daughter-in-law thus expressed
her grief at this event, to a company of her
neighbors, who called in to take tea with
her on an afternoon soon after her sad be-
reavments “Oh, dear !” said she, “how
much I miss my poor, dear mother! Why,
it seems to me I can see her now, just as
she used to sit at the breakfast-table, reach
ing out her fork for the best potatoe !”_ This
reminds us of “a man without a tear,” a
Missouri husband at the grave of his wife ;
“I have lost cows,” be said to a neighbor,
as the coffin was lowered into the grave,

Anecdote of Bnckland*
This distinguished geologist one day gat'd
a dinner, after dissecting a Mississippi Alli
gator, having asked a good many of the
most distinguished of his classes to dine with
him. Ilis house and all his establishment
were in good style and taste. His guests
congregated; the dinner table looked splen
didly, with glass, china and plate, and the
meal commenced with excellent soup/
“How do you like the soup?” asked the
Doctor, after having finished his own plate*
addressing a famous gourmand of the day.
“Very good, indeed,” answered the other;
“Turtle, is it not??” “I only ask because I
do not find any green fat.”
The Doctor shook his head.
“I think it has somewhat of a musky
taste,” said another; “not unpleasant, but
peculiar.”
“All alligators have,” replied Buekland.
“The Cayman peculiarly so. The fellow
whom I dissected this morning, and ©fwbpKi
you have just been eating—”
There was a general rout of tbe whole
guests. Every one turned pale. Half a
dozen started up from the table. Two or
three ran out of the room and vomited; and
only those who had stout stomachs remain
ed to the close of an excellent entertain-,
roent.
“See what imagination is,” said Buekland,
“If I had told them it was turtle, or terra
pin, or bird’s-nest soup—salt water amphib
ia or fresh, or the gluten of a fish from the
maw of a sea-bird, they would have pro
nounced it excellent, and their digestion
been none the worse. Such is prejudiee.”-
But was it really an alligator?” asked a
lady.
“As good a calf’s head as ever wore a
coronet,” answered Buekland.
Seven great Foolsr
1. The Angry Man—who sets his own
bouse on fire in order that he may burn that
of his neighbor
2. The-envious Man—who cannot enjoy
life because others do.
3. The Robber—who for the considera
tion of a few pounds gives the world liberty
to hang him.
4. The hypochondrias—whose highest
happiness consists in rendering himself mis
erable.
5-. The jealous man—who poisons his
banquet and then eats of it.
6. The miser—-who starves himself to
death in order that his heir may feast.
7. The slanderer.—who tells tales for
the sake of giving his enemy an opportune?
ty of proving him a liar.
What did it Mean?—A. young couple
with a‘responsibility’ attached, having seat
ed,themselves in the cars, the other day,
the husband turned to the wife, and whis
pered—“Did Bub perfect his arrangements
before we left home? —‘Yes dearest, he
did,’ answered the kdy.
A bachelor friend of oars, on the next
seat, having overheard tbe question and
answer, began to cudgel his brains severely
to ascertain their purport. But he could
make nothing out of it, and meeting a mar
ried sister soon after he applied tuber for a
solution of the mystery. In return he re
ceived a sharp box on the ear, accompanied
with a bit of advice “to go and get married,
and leai n what’s what.”
New Classification.—A married lady, al
luding in conversation to the 148th Psalm,
observed that while “young men and mai
dens, old men and children,” were express
ly mentioned, not a word was said about
