A Gay Deceiver. ,
The elder Weller once admonished
his son Samuel to “beware of widdeie,"
and added the opinion that one widder
was equal to five end twenty single gals,
in the pint of coining it over you. This
mey be true in Her Britanic Majesty’s
dominions, where gullible gentlemen
are supposed to be numerous, bnt in
this great (?) and glorious (?) and hnp
py (?) and free country, without mean
ing to disparage the smartness of our
American widows, we have numerous
sharp thorns in pifurcated integumeuts,
who would give Sam. Weller’s smartest
widow the odds of a pawn aud two
moves and then beat her out afterwards.
An instance of this has lately come to
light, which proves this assertion, and
proves to what extent a widow can tbe
deceived.
On one of the streets ofthis city resided
e widow whom, for prudential reasons,
we will call Mrs. V. The lady was left
a widow about three years ago ; an
ounce of lead had penetrated Mr. V’s
lungs, and bis few remaining days were
passed in a hospital. Mrs. V. uever
saw him after the evacuation of this city,
and was a widow some mouths before
she knew it. Except the house she
lived in, some jewelry, and a lot of com
fortable furniture, there was little of the
world's goods left to her, but apart from
the fact that she had to struggle for food
and reinvent lor herself and little ones
she was quite comfortable. Mrs. V.
was lonely, and determined to relieve
that loneliness aud increase her income
by taking one or two bonrders. Accord
ingly she let it be known that for a
reasonable compensation she would pro
vide snug quarters tor one or two single
gentlemen who were willing to exchange
references.
In due time ft very respectable look
ing individual ot about five and forty,
who was soberly dressed, and who rep
resented himself as a quiet bachelor in
quest oi a quiet home convenient to his
business, presented himself, and being
a stranger could not give city relerence,
but could give any required reference in
New York. Mrs. V. was well pleased
•with his appearance, deportment and
conversation, and concluded to take
him in, this nice, quiet bachelor, and ac
cordingly so informed him. Some little
bargaining was then made us to the
price of board, she charged him just
fifty cents per week more than he want
ed to pay. remarking that as a strictly
jnst man he always drove a close bar
gain, and always stuck to it.
Mrs. V. unwilling to lose so quiet and
gentlemanly a boarder, finally consent
ed to the reduction; he' was duly in
stalled in a snug room, the best carpet,
the best bed, and a comfortable arm
chair being prominent features therein.
He surveyed his domicil, aud expressed
himself delighted, and delivhted Mrs.
V. by handing over two weeks bourd in
in advance.
He gave his nhme as Turpin, talked
much of his business, and led the lonely
widow to believe that he was a man of
considerable means and of great
business qualifications. His plausible
manners and smooth tongue soon won
for him the friendship and esteem of
not only the lonely widow, but of all her
friends, who had called aud cultivated
the acquaintance of the quiet bachelor,
bnt thorough business man.
In a short while he began to speak of
Mrs. V. to her friends and on one or two
occasions volunteered the opinion that
“ she was devilish good looking.” This,
of course, reached Mrs. V.’s ears, as it
was intended, and there is little doubt
but the lonely widow began to think,
though she didn’t say it, that Mr. T.
was a devilish nice man. By and by
he began to talk to Mrs. V. about her
lonely situation. Next, he got to laying
his right paw on his left breast, and
then he would raise his eyes ceiling
wards, and “sigh like a furnace,”
which meant “ love” as plain as the lan
guage conld speak it. To shorten the
story, Mr. T. proposed, the widow ac
cepted, and the wedding was to have
taken place last Wednesday a week ago.
Luring the courtship he. paid several
visits to his New Y’ork house, and
always came back deiighted with the
large busiuess that was being done
there.
Every arrangement was made (or the
wedding, the company was invited, and
things were progressing finely ; a house
keeper was engaged to take care ot
things at home white the happy couple
went off on their bridal tour, and every
body was delighted. Wednesday morn
ing came and everything was bustle ;
Airs. V. was busy, one or two of her
intimate friends were busy, and things
progressing finely. The subject of
cake and such “fixius” was undertaken,
by Mr. TANARUS., ‘‘just, to help,” and during
the day he called Mrs. V. one side,
and remarked that as she might ieel
some little delicacy in allowing him to
pay for the confections, she cbuld give
him thirty dollars to pay for them, and
to morrow you can pay yourself hack
from our pocket book.
Mrs. V. handed over the thirty dol
lars, Mr. Turpin said he would proceed
at once to pay the bill and order the
things up. He returned about dinner
time, and remarked that the articles
would airive at 4P. M. “Oh I there is
another matter to be attended to,’’ said
he ; “your watch and chain, and indeed
your jewelry generally, is a little tarn
ished, and Freeman can rub them up
in half an hour, and make them look
like new.” Happy thought! and the
widow vyas delighted to think what a
thoughtful, accommodating man her
second husband was. She placed, her
watch aud trinkets in bis hands, and he
started off to have them rubbed up;
but that was the last seen or hesrd of
him, or the thirty dollars, or the watch
and trinkets.
Tbe guest* came in the evening, but
there was no confections to give them,
there was no groom and no wedding :
but tbe poor deluded and swindled
widow was there with but seventy-five
cents in her pocket to buy bread for her
self and little ones. The mean, sneak
ing, contemptible sinner stripped his
victim of money and effects to the tune
ot S2OO besides owing six weeks’ board,
which Mrs. V. did not like to call on
him for under the circumstances. Tony
Weller would have .had no occasion to
caution Sam against such “widders:"
but it Sam had been a widow it would
have been prudence to caution her
against aged gay deceivers with two or

PERRY DAVIS’
lIpV. VEGETABLE
mm!
STILL TRIUMPHANT !
\ ND AFTER A THOROUGH TRIAL
by innumerable living witnesses, has
proved itself to be
THE MEDICINE OF TIIE AGE.
Although there have been many med;ci
nnl preparations brought before the public
since the first introduction of Perry Davis’
Vegetable Tain Killer, and large amuuuts
expended in their introduction, the Pain
Killer has continued steadily to advance in
the estimation of the world as the best
family medicine ever introduced. As an
internal and external remedy, it is truly a
source of
Joy to the World!
One positive proof of its efficacy is, that
the sales have constantly increased, and
upon its own merits, as the proprietors have
not resorted to advertising to gain for it the
rank it now holds among the great number
of preparations of the present time. The
eflect of the Pain Killer upon the patient,
when taken internally in cases of Colds,
Coughs, Bowel Complaints, Cholera, Dys
entery, and other affections of the system,
has been *ruly wonderful, and has won for
it a name among medicinal preparations
that can never be forgotten. Its success in
removing pains, as an external remedy, in
cases of Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains,
Cuts, Stings of insects, and other causes of
suffering, baa secured for it such a host of
testimony, as an almost infallible remedy,
that it will be banded down to posterity as
one of the greatest medical discoveries of
the nineteenth century. The magical ef
fects of tbe Pain Killer, when taken or used
according to directions, are certain. You
have only to be sure that you buy the
genuine article and adhere to the directions
in its use, and you will admit its wonderful
medicinal properties.
The genuine Perry Davis* Pain Killer is
now put up in panel bottles, with the words
Davis' Vegetable Pain Killer blown in the
glass ; aud with two steel engraved labels
on each bottle—one an excellent likeness 01
Perry Davis, the original inventor of the
medicine, the other a steel engraved note of
hand. None others can bo relied upon as
genuine. f*rices of bottles 12£ cents, 25
cents, 50 cents, and sl, respectively.
Valuable Medicine —We presume no
medical preparation ever offered to the pub
lio has beeu more thoroughly tested than
PERRY DAVIS' PAIN KILLER. Thou
sands of persons, were they called upon to
do so, would cheeriully testify that they
have used it for various ills, with the most
satisfactory success. It is within our own
knowledge that an immense amount of suf
fering has been relieved by it. Its pro
prietors, Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, save
no pains or expense in order to satisfy the
public. Being strictly honorable men, they
observe tbe utmost uniformity in the man
ufacture of their celebrated Phin Killer.
Tbo materials of which it is composed afro
carefully selected—none but the best quality
being used. By these means the high repu
tation which the Pain Killer has long since
acquired is, at all times, triumphantly sus
tained. In view of these facts, we are by
no means surprised to learn that. Messrs.
Davis A Son's sales are constantly and
rapidly increasing.. While we congratulate
our friends generally that so valuable a
preparation as the Pain Killer is placed
within their reach, we most be permitted to
rejoice at the well-merited success of its
liberal aud enterprising proprietor.—Provi
