Integrity.
A Chapter in the Lite ot a Merchant.
‘By the bv, James, have you advised
Messrs Lawrence and Parkinson oi our er
ror in the last chest of indigo we had from
them? said Mr. Watson, a much respected
merchant in Glasglow, to his principal clerk.
‘No, sir,’ replied the young man, smiling,
and looking very clever and knowing; ‘the
mistake being their own and in our favor, I
thought it as well to let them find it out them
selves. They wouldn’t have put us right, un
der similar circumstances.’
‘But, James, if they never find it out, what
then ? inquired Mr. Watson.
‘Why then, sir,’ said the former, again look
ing particularly knowing, ‘we shall be gain
ers by the sum of £7 10s.; the amount of dif
ference between Lawrence and Parkinson’s
invoice, and the actual weight of indigo.’
‘What, James!’ exclaimed Mr. Watson, with
a gravity approaching to the sternness; ‘and
do you imagine 1 would pocket £7 10s., or
any other sum so gained—that I W’ould take
advantage of an oversight on the part of those
with whom I deal, to rob them ?
‘They would not hesitate to do so to us,
sir,’ replied the young man, blushing, and a
good deal disconcerted by a consciousness
that he was advocating an unjust cause.
‘1 do not believe they would, James,’ said
Mr. W atson. ‘I have dealt with Messrs Law
rence and Parkinson for many years, and
have ever found them honorable and upright
in their transactions. At any rate, what they
would do under the circumstances can be no
rule tome. I know what / ought to do, and
that shall be done. Take a sheet of paper,
James, and write as 1 shall dictate. But,
pray, first tell me what is the amount of error
in the weight of the indigo ?
‘Twenty pounds, sir,’ replied the young
man.
‘They have invoiced to us 108 pounds in
stead of 1 ‘2B.’
‘Bo,’ said Mr. Watson, who was now en
gaged with his pencil in calculating; ‘twenty
pounds at 7s. twl. is £1 10s.—Now, then,
James, write. Date. Gentlemen—l have
your favor of the 24th instant, with invoice
of chest of indigo. Amount, £4O 10s. On
re-weighing the chest, I find you have com
mitted an error against yourselves of twenty
pounds; the chest weighing 128 pounds, as
invoiced. Hay—twenty pounds at 7s. 6d, is
£1 10s., which makes the whole amount
£4B instead of £4O 10s., and the former sum
I now remit you, which please acknowledge
at convenience. I remain, &c.’
On the the third day after the occurrence,
Mr. W atson entered his counting house with
an open letter in his hand, which he threw
down before his clerk, with an air of honest
exultation, saying, ‘there, James, read that.
There’s a letter worth a thousand pounds of
indigo; at least, Iso value it;’ and his honest
countenance beamed with rectitude.
James read—‘Dear sir, we have to acktnvl
cdge with thanks, the receipt of your favor of
the 20th ult., with remittance of £4B forchest
indigo, shipped for you per Isabel of Liver
pool. We note your correction of error in
weight of said chest, and beg to express a
deep sense of obligation for your honorable
conduct in that matter, although it is but
\\ hat we should have expected from the scru
pulous integrity which has marked all your
dealings with us. We deem it but right to
add, that the error would never have been
known to us had you not pointed it out. We
are, Am*.’
While Mr. W atson’s clerk was reading the
letter, a gentleman, a merchant in the city,
with whom Mr. Watson was slightly acqaint
ed, entered the counting-house and requsted
a moment’s private conversation with the lat
ter. They retired into an adjoining room.
‘Mr. Watson,’said the visitor, whose name
was Bremner, ‘finding that I can do no good
here, I intend shortly proceeding to South
America, to which I have been invited by a
friend, who has gone there before me. With
this view, 1 am now converting everything I
have info money to carry out myself and
family, together with some small matter in
the shape of an adventure. To accomplish
this object, 1 am obliged to make large sacri
fices in the disposal of my effects. Most ru
inous! But I cannot help myself, as lam
without any other resource—any othermeans
of raising money. Now, sir, my purpose in
calling on you is to say that I have a quanti
ty of rosin to dispose of, which as 1 must sell
at a loss, you may have a bargain if you
should incline to become the purchaser, and
I shall he greatly obliged to you besides.’
‘I will call at your warehouse in an hour
hence, and take a look of the article, Mr.
Bremner,’ said Mr. Watson, but without ad
ding more.
Punctual to his appointment, Mr. Watson
called at the time specified, examined the ros
in and being satisfied with the quality, inquir
ed the price.
‘I must, of course, sacrifice,’ replied Mr.
Bremner to this inquiriy.’ ‘I cannot expect
you should, under the circumstances, give me
anything like full value for the article. Let
us sav, then, os. 6d. per cwt.’
‘Send the rosin over to my warehouse,
Mr. Bremner,’ said Mr. Watson, ‘and call on
me to-morrow forenoon, at eleven o’clock
precisely, for settlement;’ and without a word
of lurther remark, he left the premises.
On the following forenoon, at the hour
appointed, Bremner called for payment of his
rosin, when, on counting over the sum hand
ed him by Mr. Watson, he found it to
exceed by £9 odd, the amount of his ac
count.
‘You have made a mistake, Mr. Watson,’
said Mr. Bremner. ‘Here is £9 ss. more
than 1 have a right to.’
‘No mistake at all, sir,’ replied Mr. Wat
son. ‘1 have been looking at the price
current, and find that the value of such rosin
as that you sold me is ss. tkl. per cwt., and
it is at that rate I propose to pay you. I cannot
take advantage of your circumstances, Mr.
Bremner, to bike your property below its fair
value. I could not do so to any man. I
have ever reckoned it a species of dishonesty
exceeding almost all others in meanness and
heartlessness, to take advantage of a man’s
necessities to rob him by giving him lessthan
they are worth.’
‘But, sir/ said Bremner, with honorable
feeling, ‘I offered you the rosin at 3s 6d. It
was a bargain.’
‘I deny that, my good sir/ replied Mr.
” atson, smiling. ‘There alway’s are, 3011
know, two to a Bargain. Now, although you
said 3s. 6d., I did not. I said nothing at all
on the subject.- 80, put up your 11101103-, my
friond, and say- nothing more about it.’
Overcome by such an unusual instance of
combined justice and generosity. Brenmer’s
heart filled; a tear started in his eye; he
seized Mr. Watson’s hand—pressed it. He
could not speak for some seconds. At length
he uttered a half audable ‘God bless, you ’
shook the hand he held \varnll3-, and rushed
out of the counting-house.
It was about fifteen years after the period
when the little incidents just recorded had ta
ken place—incidents, we may add, of fre
quent occurrence in the life of the worthy
Person whose humble History forms the sub-
ject of this paper—that he entered his count
ing-house one day with an air of desponden
cy in his look and manner that was quite
unusual with him, for he was naturally
of a remarkably ceerful temper, and which
at once gave his confidential clerk—the same
of whom we have formerly spoken, and who
was still in the service—notice that Mr. Wat
son had heard some unpleasant intelligence of
some kind or other; and it was so. Throw
ing down a letter which he had got that morn
ing at the Post-office. ‘There, Mr. Wood/
he said, ‘there’s the result of my unfortunate
speculation in those unlucky consignments
to Hobart Town. The market there is over
stocked by large and unexpected arrivals of
goods of the same description with those I
sent out, and the consequences is, they are
seeling below prime cost. It is ruin—utter
ruin.’ And Mr. YV atson, leaning his elbow-s
on the desk, covered his face with his hands,
and this attitude gave way to the painful
thoughts to which the bad news of the morn
ing were but too well calculated to give rise.
In the meantime, Mr. Wood proceeded to the
perusal of the letter which had been laid before
him, and found it to be from Mr. Watson’s
agents at Hobart Town, intimating that they
could not dispose of his consignment but at
a great loss, as the market had been sudden
ly and unexpectedly overstocked b3’ shipments
from Britain. They added, that had Mr.
Watson’s consignment arrived hut eight day’s
sooner, he would have cleared several thou
sand pounds b3 r the speculation.
‘Very unfortunate/ said Mr.Wood, throw
ing down the letter.
‘Yes, ver3 r unfortunate/ repeated Mr. Wat
son, raising himself up from the desk as he
spoke. ‘However, I shall he able still, thank
God, to pay all m3’ debts, although there will
be little left behind. Nobody but myself
will suffer by my unfortunate speculation.
The satisfaction still remains with me of
thinking that I have not, as many others have,
been gambling with other people’s proper
ty/
In saving this, however, the worthy man
had not reckoned on the possibility 7, or rather,
perhaps, likelihood of any further misfortune
of a serious nature. He had not dreamed of
the possibility of the bank of- stopping
payment; yet it did stop payment, and
that within eight days after Mr. Watson had
received the letter above spoken of from his
Hobart Town agents, and by this additional
misfortune he was loser to the amount of
£SOOO. In these unhappy 7 and most unex
pected circumstances, Mr. Watson found it
necessary 7 to call a meeting of his creditors.
Letters were accordingly written to them all,
and a day 7 and place of meeting appointed.
The largest of Mr. Watson’s creditors was
a South American house, Messrs Damson,
Rippant & Cos., who were the onerous hold
ers of his acceptances to the amount of £3500,
the parties to whom the acceptances had been
originally granted having become bankrupts
and lied from the country. Being wholly 7
unknown to, and neverhaving had any trans
actions with the firm above named, Mr. Wat
son looked for no indulgence at their hands.
011 the contrary, seeing the largeness of the
sum he owed the m, and the character, (as it
had eventually turned out) of the original
drawers, he thought he had reason to fear
that they would be disposed to treat him harsh
ly, and that they would be very difficult in the
matter of settlement. By and by 7 the day of
meeting arrived, and Mr. Watson resolved on
attending personally in order to afford what
ever explanation might be demanded. The
creditors had all met when he entered the
room, and the way in which he was received
was remarkable, and, it may be added, very
unusual in the circumstances. Instead
of the cold and stern looks, and constrained
civility, which, in the common case, awiat the
bankrupt on such occasions, Mr. Watson
was received with smiling countenances, hands
were extended towards him from numerous
points around the table at which the per
sons composing the meeting were seated, and
many encouraging greetings and gracious in
vitations from individuals to seat himself be
side them, marked the high opinion which
was entertained of his character by those as
sembled on the present occasion. The hour
of the worthy man’s misfortune was, in short,
the hour of his triumph. MO3l of those pre
sent at this meeting were known more or less
intimately to each other—but there was
one amongst them whom nobody seemed to
know, and who had that sort of air about
him that marks the entire stranger. This
person was observed to look at Mr. Watson
with much earnestness and much apparent in
terest. But he said nothing, and did not seem
disposed to interfere in any way with the pro
ceedings.
Having exhibited the state of his affairs to
the meeting, and made an offer of composi
tion, Mr. Watson said that those present
would see from the statement submitted, anil
which he trusted he need not say was a faith
ful one, that he could not possibly offer more
than the sum proposed with any reasonable
prospect of its being realized. They would
observe, he said, the payment of this compo
sition included the necessity of his parting
with the last remnant of his property. But
he gave it up not only without hesitation, but
with the utmost readiness. With one excep
tion, all present at once acceded to Mr. Wat
son’s proposal of composition—most of them
without even looking at his statements, so
high was the opinion entertained of his integ
rity.
It was not without emotion that Mr. Wat
son arose to thank the gentlemen around him
for their ready acquiescence -to the terms he
had offered them. Having expressed his
gratitude in such broken phrases as his agi
tated feeling would permit, Mr. Watson pro
ceeded to say that he deemed it but proper to
state that he had still to obtain the sanction
of his largest creditors, the Messrs Damson,
Rippant & Cos., and if that firm refused their
consent, which he thought by no means im
probable, a sequestration would necessarily
be taken out, ‘and the result of this proceed
ing, gentlemen/ he said, ‘will be utter ruin to
me, and serious to you/
At this moment the unknown gentleman
rose front his seat, and looking towards Mr.
IV atson with a smiling countenance, said—
‘Sir, allow me to assure y 7 ou that you have
nothing to fear from the house of Messrs Dam
son, Rippant & Cos. Os that house I am a
partner, and I am here as its representative—
a circumstance with which there is connect
ed a little history which I beg to relate. Mr.
Watson, gentlemen/ he said, now addressing
the meeting generally, ‘may have forgotten,
but there are others who have not, that, about
fifteen years ago, a gentleman, a merchant of
this city, came to him,and under the pressure
of peculiar and urgent circumstances offered
him a quantity of goods at a price considera
bly below their value. Mr. Watson bought
the goods, gentlen^n; but mark the issue.
Instead of taking these goods at the low rate
at which the seller’s necessities had compelled
him to offer them, as many who call them
selves respectable, and imagine themselves
honorable, would readily have done, he hand
ed him over their full market value. The
person/ Mr. Watson now looking towards
the latter, ‘to whom you acted thus honora
bly, was, you know, a Mr. Bremner, Well,
sir, Mr. Bremner is now the principal partner
in our house. He usually resides at Valpar
aiso, but happened to be in London when
your letter announcing vour misfortunes
reached us. Having a lively recollection of
the incident I have just related, and entertain
ed the highest opinion of the integrity of your
character, as expressed to me in the letter,
Mr. Bremner immediately wrote to me—l
chancing to be here at the time —to attend
this meeting, and to offer you not only any
indulgence you may require regarding the
bills now pending in our possession, but any
further assistance which your circumstances
may demand. As to accepting your offer of
composition, that we do at once/
Overpowered by this unexpected testimo
ny to his integrity, and the personal kindness
it included, it was some seconds before Mr.
Watson could make a reply. Nor, when he
was able to do so, did he say 7 much, for he
was no speech maker. He, However, did
say enough to convince all who heard him,
that if he could not speak elegantly, he could
yet feel deeply, perhaps the better gift of the
two.
Having obtained the consent of all his cred
itors to his offer of composition, and having
paid the latter, Mr. YVatson, in a very short
time, found himself in possession of a full and
free discharge from all his debts. Three
weeks afterwards, he received the following
letter from his agents at Hobart Town : —‘Sir,
we are happy to inform you that in conse
quence of destruction by lire of a large store
here in which was an immense quantity of
goods of the same description with yours, and
which are all consumed, we have sold your
consignment at an advance on invoice price
of nearly 7 *2OO per cent. We have but time
(ship being about to sail,) to advise you of
this, but shall, within a week or ten days, re
mit your proceeds with account sales/ By
this unexpected occurrence, namely, the des
truction of the store, Mr. Watson was a gain
er of £7OOO. 011 receiving his remittances
he called his creditors individually, and hav
ing made known to each how strangely his
fortunes had been bettered, paid him down
the full amount of the debt for which he had
ranked on his estate when insolvent.

as much ease and a great deal more convenience
than they did their fireplaces. Its utility is evident in
the very handsome and thorough manner in which
food is cooked with it, and its economy in the great
saving of fuel, and

Dr. dfGRAFFENRIED’S
CELEBRATED
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT.
In introducing this medicine to the people of the Unit
ed States,, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit
the following statement of Dr. de Granenried, its discov
erer and inventor:
The undersigned frankly states that be has prescribed
this medicine for the last twenty-two years, in all forms |
of Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, with a success un- ;
paralleled in the annals of medicine ; and he has no he-- j
itation in saying., that it is decidedly the most valuable J
remedy ever vet discovered for the relief of this most pain- !
ful and distressing malady. ... , , I
Hia note-hook contains upwards ot three hundred ea
ses, in which it lias been used within the above named |
period, and in no single instance has it coineto his know!- j
edge, ofits having tailed to effect a cure when persereved j
in. M any of the cases were from fiiir to ten years stand- j
ing; and what may appear yet more remarkable and ex
traordinary, is, that when the patient has been once re
lieved, the disease is permanently cured, remains so. not
a solitary instance having t een reported to him ot its re
turn. . „ .
All he would ask for this remedy is a lair, impar
tial and patient trial, for the results he entertains no ap
prehension. .
Up to the time ot this discovery, the undersigned had
well studied the origin, progress, and character of this dis
ease,and is well assured, had consulted every author on
its treatment, who had written or been translated into
the English language, and had used all the. remedies of
any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with
however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu
manity.
It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent
Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and ot every other
country. But the undersigned Hatters himself that Ills
remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all oth
ers have failed, and that he shall have been an humble in
strument in the hands of God, of relieving the human
family of a vast amount of suffering.

.Tone’s Hotel, Philadelphia, March 3d 1850
Col. A. B. Ragan —Sir It affords me great pleasure
to be. able to hear testimony to the efficacy ana virtues
of Dr. de Grajfenrieds Rheumatic Liniment.
I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with,
what I believed to be, and what eminent Physicians of
this city pronounced. Rheumatic gout,for several winters
past I have been confined to my room and bed nearly all
the time. In January last. I had an attack a* violent if j
not more so than usual, which pro.-Irated me for about
three weeks; on your receouimendation I commenced
the use of this Liniment. (With 1 must confess but little
faith). Its effects were astonishing and decidedly bene
ficial from its first application. In a few days my back,
wrists ancles were entirely relieved (and so contin
ue) of all soreness, pains, and the swelling’s reduced,
with the use of less than one bottle. I have been in the
discharge of my ordinary business ever since.
1 consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most
efficacious remedy lor this disease which I have ever met
with. And most cheerfully recommend its use to all
who may be afflicted with it.
Respectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGES.

Baltimore March, 30 1850.
Dr. de Graffenried — Dear Sir; For the last twelve
years I have suffered very severely with the Rheumatism,
having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to
my bed by it. I have had the best medical aid to be
found in various cities in the United States, with little
or no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly
recommended remedies, which have failed to effect a
cure. I spent the last summer at the White Sulphur and
Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose. After my return
home, 1 so far recovered, as to be able to walk about, a lit
tle. About six weeks since. I had a very severe attack
which again confined me to my bed, 1 was in great pain
and scarely able to move my limbs, when a friend of
mine called and informed me that you had discovered
an infallible remedy, arid had cured many, and amongst
them, one of my friends, and showed me a letter from
him stating the fact. I was induced to try your Rheu
matic Linament, and take pleasure in infnrminig you that j
in less than twenty four hours from the first application j
I was perfectly free from pain, and continue so, up to
this time. lam now able to attend to business, and
fondly hope all those afflicted, as I have been, may be as
speedily relieved, as I have been with your medecine.—
Wishing you all the Blessings you deserve Dear Sir.

Dr. De Graffenried—Dear Sir: 1 take pleasure in giv
ing you the particulars of my affliction by, and relief from
Rheumatism. During the spring of 1844 I was afflicted
with a very severe attack of Inflammatory* Rheumatism.
I employed all the most celebrated remedies then known
and used id similar cases, aided by medical advice, until
September. 1845, with no satisfactory result whatever.
I was then induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try
your Liniment, as something new, and which had cured
him ; and in one month, from the time I commenced the
application. I was well, and clear of the Rheumatism as
I ever was, and have continued so to this time.
Yours, truly, L. C. MORTON.
FROM COL. A. K. AYER.
Dr. E. 1.. de Graffenried—Learning that you arc about
to manufacture for the public, your valuable Rheumatic
Liniment, I take pleasure instating that I believe it
one of the most valuable remedies ever used for that
common and mot distressing disease, having witnessed
its effects upon a negro man of mine, who had been af
flicted tor four years, until almost every .joint was en
larged, anil the body otherwise, emaciated. By the use
of four or five bottles, in three weeks he was relieved en
tirely from pain

A. K. AYER.
Columbus, October 30, 1849.
Dear Sir—About the first of April last, I came to Co
lumbus to get medical assistance, and was advised to
call on you, as having a reme ly that would atford me
speedy relief. I was taken down in January last, with
a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints
so badly, that I could not pull of my shoes without aid ;
nor could I ascend or descend steps, or pull off my
clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand
were nearly useless : the lingers contracted and swollen;
the right kriee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not
bend it but very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all
the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your Rheu
matic Liniment my limbs three times, and was the next
morning enabled to descend a long fight of steps, with- j
out aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—l could j
also bend niy knee and bring it up to the chair, which)
the previous dav, 1 could not have done if m v life had de- I
pended on it. 1 could also use. open and bend my ting- j
ers, wich was an imbossibility the day before. I rose in ;
the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I ;
used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheu- j
matie Liniment, and in ten days, I was relieved. I |
would not have been in the condition which I had been, j
ten days before I called on you, for any amout of money j
which could be given me ; for what is life worth when !
in constant pain and misery ! I consider your Rheumat- i
ic Liniment, the most valuable medicine in the world. I
am, dear sir, your friend.

Columbus, Nov. 1, 1849.
Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a
stilffneck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or
seven years, and could not turn her neck except with the
body. 1 was induced to purchase a bottle ot your Lin
iment, which was applied in August or September of
1818. One bottle entirely relieved her and she now has
the use of her neck as well as ever she had ; and up to
this time, it has not returned.

Pr. do Graffenried —Dear Sir: Having been afflicted,
for some time past, with a severe attack of Rheumatism,
and having heard of the wonderful effects of your Rheu
matic Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle of it; and
after three days, I was so much relieved as to he able to
leave the house and attend to business. I have perfect
ly recovered from the disease, and would cheerfully re
! commend the Liniment to all who are afflicted
GEORGE HOOD, 27 Powell street.
Columbus Ga., Oct. 13,1849.
Dr. E. L de Graffenried—Dear Sir: Agreeable to
your request, I give my testimonial as to the virtue of
, your Liniment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being at
i tucked in one joint of my finger, last winter, with acute
; Rheumatism, and haying used many of the unnumbered
I prescriptions for its cure, with but fit tie benefit, I made
| application of two bottles of your Liniment, which I am
■ happy to say relieved nie in a very short time. I can re
commend its use to all persons affected in like manner.
Very respectfully, F. S CHAPMAN.
I can testify to the efficacy of Dr. de Grafienried’s
Rheumatic Liniment in the case of Mr. F. S. Chapman,
as it came under my immediate observation.
October 13,1849. R. A. WARE, M. D.
Dear Sir—Some time in Jauary last, Mrs. McKee
was taken very ill with Inflammatory Rheumatism in her i
shoulder joints, extending to her elbow joint and .
arm, which disabled her from using her arm almost en- !
tirelv ; and from the pain, want of sleep, and great rest- j
lessness, for not lew than six weeks, I was iuduced by j
my friend, Mr. Luke Reed, to cal! on you for a bot
tle of your Liniment, and by using half the bottle, she 1
was entirely relieved, and the relief was manifest or sen- j
sible after three or four rubbings. lam of opinion, it is j
one of the most valuable remedies that has ever been dis- |
covered, for Rheumatism: that is, from my own knowl
edge, and that which I have heard from others.

Dr. de Graffenried —Dear Sir : Itake pleasure in sav

matism, that he could not raise iiis hand to his head, and
had nearly lost the use of liis arm. I used the fourth of
a bottle of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth
and professional acquirements, will compare favorably
with the most distinguished in our country. The medi
cal faculty constitutes an anomaly in this or any other
country—all of them are able lecturers and the best of
teachers.
Those who contemplate our geographical position,
and the extent of our population, can have no doubt as
to the eligibility of our situation i'or an enterprise of the
kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year,
we deny that any other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds of many students
relative to the place of studying medicines ; those who
intend practicing among the diseases of the West and
South should certainly educate themselves at a school
| whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those
diseases.
That the public may be satisfied of the permanency of
this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus
tees and Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs
well for its future success ; and that the peculiar internal
organization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.
