It is said that the late Chief Darm Thompson
Was a very facetious companion over the bottle,
which he much enjoyed. At one of the Judges |
dinners during the Assizes, there was present a|
certian dignitary of the church. "W hen the |
cloth was removed, “ I always think my Lord,” |
said the very reverend guest, “that a certain j
quantile of wine does a man no harm after a 1
good dinner !”—“ Oh, no. Sir !—by no means,” |
replied the Chief Baron ; “it is the uncertain
quantity that does the mischief!”

Prince Albert, it is well known, is exceedingly
fond of whist, and plays remarkably well. A
few evenings since he sat down with a parly, one
of whom was Lord Alfred Paget who was op
posed to h m. “ What slakes shall we play for?”
asked his Lordship. “ Five shillings the rub,”
said the Prince. “You used to play for a save- .
reign” observed Lord Allred. “Ah, that was
before I was married, jocosely replied Albert;
“ I won that stake, and therefore now play for a '
crown.”

The Soldier of Tippecanoe.
/ ir—“ Some love to Roam.”
The slars are bright, and ourslops are light
As we sweep lo our camping ground ;
And well we know, as we forward go.
That the loe fills the greenwood round ;
But we know no fear, though the fiebe near.
As we tramp the greenwood through.
Chorus—For oh! have we not for our leader got
'1 he Soldier of Tippecanoe?
Now the deep green grass is our soft matrass
Till the beating of reveille;
No light’s in our camp hut the firefly lamp,
No roof but the green wood tree.
Uriel slumbers we snatch, till the morning watch;
But one eye no slumber knew !
One eye was awake tor his soldier’s sake,
’Twas the soldier of Ticpecnnoe.
For oh ! have we not f.r our leader got
The hero of Tippecanoe.
The faint dawn is breaking,'our bugles are speak,
mg.
Quick rouses our lengthened line,
Sweet dreams are departing, the soldier is start
ing
And w elcome the morning shrine ;
But hark ! ’tis the drum ! the foe is come.
Their yells ring the dark woods through;
But see mounted, ready, brave, cautious, and
steady.
The soldier of Tippecanoe.
For oh ! have we not for our leader got
r J he soldier of Tippecanoe!
Now nigher and nigher though hot is the fire,
And ceaseless the volleying sound.
We press down the hollow, and dauntfessly fol
low,
Then tramp upon the rising ground,
With dtath-dealnig aider, we piess them yet
harder,
And still as ihey come into view.
“Now steady, hoys, steady; be quick and lie
ready !”
Cries the Soldier of Tippecanoe.
For oh ! have we not tor our leader got
The soldier of Tippecanoe.
Down, down drops the foe, and still we go.
And each ihicket and dlng’e explore ;
Loud our shrill bugles sing, till the wide woods
nng,
0T- And their rifles are heard no more.
Now weave the green crown ol undying renown
For the patriot hero’s brow,
And write his name with the halo of fame,
The Soldier of Tippecanoe.
For oh ! have we not for our leader got
The soldier of Tippecanoe?

Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
1 am satisfied Tom Tunstali has descended fiom as
I good a stock as any horse in the United States. —
He was a race horse of the first order, but I lear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of the dara of Tom Tunstali.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus : —“ Highland Mary
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough
breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Kosey Carey by Sir
Archie ; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charleraaine,
. (son of O’Kelley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand
dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great
great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
great-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught;
grcat-gieat-great-great-grcat-grand-dam by Lee’s
old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou
key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better attested pedegree!—

MOFFAT S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
fi>HESE medicines are indebted for their name
A to tin ir manifest and sensible action in puii
fying the spring and channels ot life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In many hun
dred certified cases vvhicn has been made public,
and in almost ever) species of disease to which
the human frame is liable, the happy effects of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHENIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac
tnovvledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beauiilully
philosophical principles upon which they are*
compounded, and upon which they
act.
The LIFF3 MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ot every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from tlie coals of the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon tanlly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened faeces which collect in the
convolusjons of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected messes behind as to produce habitu
al coslivencss with all its train ofevils. or in a sud
den diarrhoea, wit h its eminent dangers. This tact
is well known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death; and hen?,e
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack medicines—or medicines prepared and her
alded to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. r J he se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the
liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blood, Which lakes its red color from
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the heat, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely through the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Lite Medirinex have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy for dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation ol
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head
ache, Restlessness, ill-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Cosiiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds. Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump
lion, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and olher disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysij*elns, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complamis
which afflict the human frame. In fever ami
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
most eminently successful; so much so that in the
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according lo the directions, it is not by a news
paper notice, or any thing that he himself may say
in their lavor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is
alone by ihe result of a fair :rial.

as a domestic guide to health.—This little pamphlet
