That ibis Catiiolicon 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 many 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 au thority. 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.

They're falling—they're falling, The leaves upon the ground; To fast decay; they pass ‘away, Beneath the Winter’s sound. They're falling—they're falling, What once was fresh and green; The myrtle bow’r—the fragrant tiovv'r, With all their Summer sheen. They're falling—they're falling, And thus shall pass away ; The days of man our earthly span; And clay will mix with clay. They're falling—they're falling, The earthly thing must die The Serf and Crown, the Priest & Clown All side by side will lie. They're falling—.they're falling, The road we all must tread, The blind and maim; the proud and vain, Will all soon soon be dead. They’re falling—they’re falling, Each by its kindred laws; When mortal dies, immortal rise, As gold from dross withdrawn. They're falling,—they're falling, Beneath the march of time ; -With steady tread, and vengeance dread; The woe of Eden’s crime.

REINHART. 49—tf “Greater i» be who ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.” “Come here, sir!” said a strong, athlete I man, as he seized a delicate looking lad by the shoulder. “You’ve been in the water again sir! Havn’t 1 forbid it 2” “Yes, father, but— “No \buts;’ havn’t I forbid—hey ?” “\ r es sir, I was— “No reply, sir!” and the blows fell like a hail-storm about the child’s head and shoul ders. Not a tear started from Harry’s eye, but his face was deadly pale, and his lips firmly compressed, as he rose and looked at his fa ther with an unflinching eye. “Go to your room, sir, and stay there till you are sent for ! I’ll master that spirit of yours, before you are many days older.” Ten minutes after, Harry’s door opened, and his mother glided gently in. She was a fragile woman, with mournful blue eyes, and temples startingly transparent. Laying her hand smoothly upon Harry’s head, she stooped and kissed his forehead. The rock was touched, and the waters gushed forth, ‘Dear mother,’ said the weeping boy. ‘Why didn’t you tell your father that you plunged into the water to save the life of your playmate V ‘Did he give me a chance V said Harry, springing to his feet with a flashing eye. ‘Didn’t he twice bid me silent, when I tried to explain 2 Mother, lie’s a tyrant to you and me.’ ‘Harry, he’s my husband and your fa ther.’ ‘Yes and I am sorry for it. What have I ever had but blows and harsh words ? Look at your pale cheeks and sunken eyes, mother.’ ‘It’s too bad, I say : lie’s a tyrant, moth er,’ said the boy, with clenched fist and set teeth, ‘and if it were not for you, I would have been leagues off long ago.’ ‘And there’s poor Nellie too, poor sick child ! What good will all her medicine do her ? She trembles like a leaf when she hears his footsteps. I say its brutal, rnoth- er!” ‘Harry, (and a soft hand was laid on the impetuous boy’s lips,) for my sake.’ ‘Well, ‘tis only for your sake—your’s and Nellie’s—or I should be on the sea some where anywhere but here.’ Late that night Mary Lee stole to her boy’s bedside, before retiring to rest. ‘God be thanked he sleeps/ she muTmur- ed as she shaded her lamp from his face. Then kneeling at his bedside, she prayed for wisdom and patience to bear uncomplain ingly the heavy cross on which her steps were faltering*; and then she prayed for him. * ‘No, no!- said Harry, springing from' his pillow and throwing his arms about her neck, ‘I can forgive him for what he has done to me, but I never will for what he has made you suffer ; don’t pray for him, at least don’t let me hear it!’ Mary Lee was too wise to expostulate.' She knew her boy was spirit-sore under the sense of recent injustice; so,she lay down beside him, and resting her tearful cheek against his, repeated in a low; sweet voice the story of the crucifixion. ‘Father forgive them they know not what they do!’ fell upon his troubled ear. He yielded to the holy spell. T will f he sobbed. ‘Mother you are an Ho w to Head Tricfey Animals* An exchange paper gives the following the management of tricky aui- angel, and if I ever get to heaven, it will be your band that has led me there !’ There was hurrying to and fro in Robert-' hints to LeeVhonse that night.

There’s Tewksbu ry; he’s been off again, down to Newport with his wife, two children and servant ! Where under heaven he gets money to spend in this way, is more than I can tell. He hadn’t a cent when he begau, five years ago. Look at him now—dives out of town keeps a horse, drives in and out every day. His expenses must be large—yet be seems to pay as he goes. I hope there is nothing wrong about Tewksbury. Then look at the money he spends for advertising! Why that is enough to ruin any man, I don’t care how rich he is. I have been in busi ness for thirty years, and I can’t afford any of these things. Wouldn’t I look well ta king my wife down to Newport, and’ stay ing there eight weeks %—eight weeks, in deed ! I sent her on a cheap excursion— but I eould’nt go myself, I can’t afford it; don’t take in money enough to do it. And then to see a man spend his money, just to let people see his name in the papers ; and seeding cards and bills all about the coun try. Tewksbury bleeds freely for bis vani ty I must confess ! They don’t catch me in that trap, no how. It don’t do no good; I got a lot of cards and bills printed five years ago, and there they are-in the desk now. Nobody ever calls for them. And then I advertised four weeks in a newspa per—money thrown away; wasted. Tewks bury is a fool, and he ipust fail sooner or later. I’m sorry for him--he was naturally a clever fellow 7 . It must cost him more to advertise than all the money I take! I wish somebody would buy me out—trade is so dull. All he said about Tewksbury was true enough with the slight exception, that Tewksbury was in danger of failing. The very thing that Perkins thought would fail him, was that which kept him up. He be gan business with nothing but his brains ; he let the people understand, through the newspapers of the country, where he was and what he had got to give them for their money, and he got a run of trade, which is constantly increasing. Perkins lost bis bu siness just as fast as his old customers died off or went off—he took no steps to get new ones, and the consequence is that he is just living upon what he made twenty years ago. He had better shut up his shop than try to live in these times without advertis ing. Reader, are you following in the tracks of our old friend Perkins 2 If you are, either shut up your shop or pitch into this great public : if you don’t do the latter your creditors will pitch into you and shut you up. Holding the Plough.—An Irishman new ly imported, made application for work On being asked if he could do that or any thing else. He w 7 as acordinglingly engag ed, and his master went with him to the field to see him commence operations. It was soon found that the Hibernian w r as new at the trade. “Did you not tell me, sir, that you could hold the plough 2” “Arrah ! be aisy now* “said Pat; “how the duce can I howld the plough, and two horses dragging it away after me ? But gives me it in the barn, and be jabers I’d howld it with ever a boy !” ness, aud these, sometimes, require a differ ent treatment. A horse accustomed to starting and running away, may be effect ually cured by putting him to the top of his speed on such occasions and running till pretty thoroughly exhausted. A horse that had a trick of pulling at his bridle and breaking it, was at last reduced to better habits by tying him tightly to a stake driven on the banks of a deep stream with his tail pointed to the water, he com menced pulling at the halter which sudden ly parted, over the bank he tumbled, and alter a somerset or two, and floundering awhile in the water he was satisfied to re main at his post in future, and break no more bridles. A ram has been cured of butting at eve rything and everybody, by placing an un resisting effigy in a similar position; the sudden assuit on a wintry day then result ed in tumbling his ramshipinto a cold bath, which his improved manners took good care to avoid in future. A sheep-killing dog has been made too much ashamed ever again to look a sheep in the face, by tying his hind leg to a stout ram, on the brow of a hill, while the flock were quietly feeding at the bottom. The ram being free and in haste to rejoin his friends, tumble and thumped Master Tray so sadly over the stones and gullies; that he was quite satisfied to confine himself to; cook ed mutton there-after. Lazy Boys. A lazy boy makes a lazy man; just as sure as a crooked twig makes a crooked tree. Who ever yet saw ahoy grow up iu idle ness that did not make a shiftless vagabond when he became a man, unless he had a fortune left him to keep up appearances? The great mass of thieves, paupers and criminals that fill our penitentiaries and alms houses, have come up to what they are by being, brought up in idleness. Those who constitute the business portion of the com munity, those who make our great and use ful men, were trained up in their boyhood to be industrious. When a boy is old enough to begin to play in the street, then he is old enough to be taught how to work. Of course we should not deprive children of healthful, playful exercise, or the time they should spend iu study, but teach them to work little by little as a child is taught at school. In this way he acquires habits of industry that will not forsake him when he grows up. . Many persons who are poor let their cliil dreu grow up to fourteen or sixteen yeai* of age, until! they can support them no longer, before they put them to labor. Such children, having acquired habits of idle ness, there is repulsiveness in all labor set befote them, aud to get it done, no matter how, is their only aim. They are ambi tious at play, but dull at work. The conse quence is they do not stiek to one thing but a very short time; they rove about the world, get into mischief, and finally find their way to the prison or the alms-house One of the Witnesses.—A queer excuse was made a few days ago by an old lady The good woman was subpoenaed to appear as h witness on a rather delicate case. She did not come, and a bench warrant was is sued for her appearance, on which she was brought into court. The presiding judge thought it. was bis duty to reprimand her. “Madam, why were you not here before?” “I could’nt come, sir.” “Were you not subpoeaned, madam?” “Yes sir, but ! was sick.” “What was the matter, madam?” “I had an awful bile, sir.” After a pause: “Upon your honor, mad am?” “No sir; upon my arm.” A negro feel into the dock the oth er day. He was fished out; and after hav ingbeen smartly rubbed for a couple of hours, he came to, pettishly exclaiming, “Dar, dar, daf 11 do! Gor-a-mity, don’t rub um skin so cussed hard!” ‘Julius, suppose there are six chickens in the coop, and the man sells three, how many are there left ?’ ‘What time ob de day was it V ‘Why, what the Jeuce has that, got to do wid it ?’ ‘A good deal, honey. If it was after dark dar would be none left—that is, if you hap pened toeome along dat way.’ ‘Look here, nigger, j ust stop them person alities. If you don’t I’ll explode your head wid a pump-handle, I will, sartin as Mo ses,’ A fellow laboring along the turnpike un der a heavy load of inebriety, was asked what made him stagger so, and gave his an swer : “Why—hie—I—hie—1 pays road tax and wants to get the worth of my—hie money by taking a longer route, that’s the reason I walks crosswise. Hie—do you see ?” Two merchants conversing together up on the hardness of the tiroes, and observing a flock of pigeons, one said, “how happy are they, they have no acceptances to pro vide for.” “Indeed,” replied the other, “you are mistaken, for they have their bills to provide for as well as we.” A drunken fellow carried a bible to pawn for a pint of gin, but the grocer would not take it. “What,” said the fellow, will nei ther my word nor the word of God pass cur rent with you.” A learned Doctor of Divinity was accus ed of rambling in his discourses, by one of his hearers, to which he. replied, “If you will ramble to the devil, I must ramble after you.” An Irish sailor, as he was riding, made a pause, when the horse in beating off the flies, caught his hind foot in the stirrup.-— The sailor observing it, exclaimed; “how now Dobbin, if you are going to get on, I will get off.” “My dear,’’ said a young gentleman to a young lady to whom he thought to be mar ried,, “do you wish to make a fool of me ?” “No,” replied the lady, “Nature saved me the trouble.” Sublime.—The fondest memories of years that lie entombed in the vast sepulchre of past ages, come rushing o’er the soul like molasses gushing and gurgling out of the bunghole into the pitcher, to put on buck wheat cakes.
