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 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! Mrs. Turtledove—“Dearest Alfred will you decide now what we shall have for din ner?” Mr. Turtledove—“Let me see, poppet.— We had a wafer, yesterday—suppose we have roast butterfly to-day.” A regular physician being sent for by a quack doctor, expressed his surprise at being called in on ari.occasion apparently; trifling. “Not so trifling, my good sir,” replied the quack; “for, to tell you the truth, 1 have by mistake, taken some of my own “Fnever shot a bird in mv life,” said a fellow to his friend, who replied—“For my part I never shot anything in the shape of a bird, except a squirrel, which I killed with a stone, when it fell into the river and was drowned.” A Western paper has the following ex hortation to its ; readers:—‘Be sure you’re advocate of slavery; J tight, then gb a-head.’ 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, ‘‘I’ve lost sheep; I’ve lost bosses, and I’ve lost caaves, but this is the wustofthe whole lot X'—Knickerbocker for July. An excellent cement for seems in the roofs of houses, or in any other exposed places, is made with white lead, dry white sand, and as much oil as will make it into the consistency of putty. The cement gets as hard as any stone in a few weeks. • “John how’s your ma?” ’‘Oh, she’s fat and strong. How’s yours ?” ‘Feeble e- ough; IVe got so that I can lick her now, and have everything mv own way.

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.

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 married women. An ohi Clergyman, whom she was addressing assured her that they had not been omitted and that she would find them included in one of the preceding verses under the description of ‘vapours, ‘and storms.’ f-i ■m Love, the plague, and the small pox, are | often communicated by clothing. JIST A learned Irish Judge, among oth er peculiarities, had a habit of begging par don on every Occasion. Once his favorite expression was employed in rather a singu lar mariner. At the close of the assizes, as he was about to leave the bench, the officers of the court reminded him that he had not passed sentence of death on one of the pris oners as he had intended “Dear roe” said his lordship, “/ beg his pardon; bring him in.” ‘ ' One Scotchman complained that lie had got a ring in his head. “Do ye ken the rea son o’ that?” asked his worthy crony. ‘No.’ ‘I’ll tell you—it’s because its empty.’ ‘And have ye never a ringing in your head?’ quoth the other. “No never.” “And ye ken the reason? It’s because it’s cracked.” ladebted to the People.—It appears that Gordon D. Boyd, the great defaulter of Mississippi, was a stump orator. In a pub lie harangue, sometime since, he exclaimed, at the top of his lungs—“No man in th® nation is more indebted to the people than I am ” “Except Swartwout,” retorted a by stander, “he owes a million and a quarter, while you owe only seventy thousand.” f3T In opening a bale of cotton recent ly, at Cincinnati, the body of a negro was iound pressed into it, and so great was the pressure, that the body of the man was not more than three inches thick. ; * The author of this wonderful story does not state whether the negro wa» alive.— Sav.Wews. .
