How a Model Artist Won ail Heiress.
BY M. G. LEWIS.
* Desirable piles* J such us suit * Hist men,
are hard to find, ami when i'oitod, ow ing to the great
competition, a devilish sight harder to win ; to prove
this we will relate our own experience, for the bene
fit of all ‘laying for piles.’
Not being ‘manor born,’ nor heir to a maiden
aunt, gouty uncle, or rich governor, and feeling a
predisposition to circulate the ‘filthy lucre,’ instead
of circulating ourselves fur it, we early began to
look for specks, per centages, and safe operations.
After weighing the pros and cons, we concluded to
take a hand in the game of mater o'money (matri
mony) and play to win ; therefore consider an indi
vidual about our size of the hymenial scales, to be
weighed down by an ‘angel’ with a sufficient pile.
Having‘set our nags,’ we determined to fly high,
make or break, do or die, and ‘stand up to the rack
in spite of landlords, flash tailors, wash wimm, cruel
fathers, fighting brothers, or rivals, remembering that
Washington was once a boy, anticipation’s better
than participation, ‘faint heart never won a fair
lady,’ and determining that if we should fail twenty
times, to never give it up so, but ‘ try again,’ for al
ways
“There is a good time Coming boys.
Wait a little longer.”
We stuck to the text for several years, exercising
talents enough to send a man to Congress, make a
respectable hero in an ‘ower true tale,’ a star lawyer,
or keep a rascal out of States Prison.
First turned Jew ; was Jewed by a Jewesss, seced
ed to Methodism and shad bellied coats; a rake cut
us out; was converted by Catholicism; found the
‘needful,’ went to church ; whirled into the Quaker
ranks, said thee and thou; found the old one a dead
shave ; landed among drunkards, wore a long beard,
talked Dutch ; had too sharp a nose, and could’nt
■come in; and lastly pitched into the Mormons; had
a good time generally, but found the ‘root of all evil’
scarce in that community.
We now give up religion, as we found by clear
experience that it would not pay; courted boarding
school misses, serenaded rich ‘viders; eulogized
belles in poetical columns; flirted at the Springs, and
flattered, admired, loved and proposed to daughters
innumerable. We did not come off bootless in the
game, as w e had rings, affections, gifts, boquets, bil
let douxes, valentines, vows, protestations, sweet
smiles, soft glances, stolen kisses and moon light
meetings enough to satisfy all the lovers in this large
country.
The ‘consumation devoutly to bo wished’ was al
ways knocked into a ‘cocked hat’ by a cross father,
kicking brother, fighting rival, covenant, visit to re
lations, or by our craw-f thing , whenever the pile
had too large a devisor, dependant upon the demise
of a kale, hearty, old one, doubtful or non cst; for
we had no idea of trying a doubtful experiment;
objecting in tola to devoting the remainder of our
span to the raising of Berkshires, Dorkings, Dur
diams and Cherubs; the latter suckers , the raw ma
terial from which grow men w ith patched pants and
milliners.
At last, the‘time and tide’came along and we
jumped into the flood in a manner never dreamed of
in our philosophy.
W e met a quondam friend at the races, one Ben
lxinyon, who had lately doubled himself and
estate by matrimony. Being up for ‘Cowesand mark
et,’ we accepted a seat in his tandem, and were soon
posting along a spanking pair of bays, three min
ute nags! Near sundown we arrived at this ‘box,’
where we found his bride and a visitor absent.
Leaving Ben to superintend his bays, vm retired
to our room, and finding it fitted up in mod; J n style,
with baths, Ac., we were soon luxurating hyvropatlii
cally. While thus a ‘Model Artist,’ enjoying the
balmy freshness and coolness of the evening, welio
ticed across the hall, the door of the library open
and abstractedly walked therein. Becoming deeply
engaged, we entirely forgot our Adamizcd appear
ance, till we heard females approaching the hall;
there was no chance for escape, no behind the door,
cubby hole or fig leaves, whereby to hide ourselves—
what a fix for a modest man !
Standing on the shaded side of the room were
IMaster of Paris statues of Venus, Hercules, Di
ana, Jove, Ac., which Ben had lately ordered, and
which had been unpacked, aud set up during the
. absence of his lady.
As quick as thought we sided up to Jove, drew
back one our peifal extremities, expanded the chest
—folded the arms across it threw back the head with
a stern expression of the phiz, rolled up the eyes,
and stood as firm as the rock of ages. The dim shad
ows of evening enveloped us in a hazy light that
broke the distinctness of the outline, hid the soft
tints of flesh and blood, and so confounded the real
with the ideal, that we flattered ourselves we should
, pass muster, and make a very respectable statue.
How short sighted is man!
In came Ben’s lady with her companion, to view
the statuary.
‘llow beautiful in this soft, mellow’ light—they
look like living figures!’ exclaimed the visitor.
iWe involuntary rolled an eye, and thought ‘how
i beautiful/ of her.
’♦Yes; splendid specimens of the antique,’ answer
ed the other.
‘Here is Jove, ready to hurl his thunderbolts.’
‘And Juno —how queenly!’
‘Th is (tapping me with a fan) must be Adonis —
although the design looks new.’
o o
‘What an expressive cast of the face!’
‘Symmetrical neck, and superb bust.’
We felt flattered.
‘La me,’ did you ever !’
‘No, I never.’
‘JIow very unartistical.’
‘Yes, very. Whoever saw the arms of a statue fold
ed across the chest ?’
‘lt shant stay a minute here. Ben bought it to
plague me.’
‘But it is a fine specimen except —what muscular
power, strength and action, and firmness of form.’
‘But it shan’t stay,’ interrupted Ben’s bride as
she called a couple of black waiting women, order
ing them to set us carefully into the rubbish room,
and then started with her companion’ (who cast back
many a lingering look,) to give Ben a Caudle Lec
ture.
‘He’d be pert lookin’ es he’s only colored, said
one of the ebonys, examining us.
‘Yah, yah—ef lie’s alive he’d be some punkins,’
answered, the other.
‘Missus sez we must be werry keerful, not to break
it.’
They crossed hands, and lowering us between
them, carried us gently along.
‘He’s berry warm.’
‘De rays ob de sun concentrate on his body.’
‘What’s dat ? 1 smells de statuary’s href.’
‘lt’s a lie,’ we ejaculated unconsciously.
Kerwhop came we in contact with the hall floor.
Kertumble heels over head, pitched the yelling ebo
nys down stairs! We gathered ourselves ; gather
ed Hercules, and laid him where we had been drop
ped, bolted into our room and habiliments, and in
two minutes and a half was oft the sofa snoring.
No sooner done than the whole houshold came to
the top of the stairs.
‘Dare him lies, massa him swore like eberything,’
groaned the trembling, nose-flattened and face bat
tered ebony, shrinking back.
‘Hercules, you have got a bad name/ chuckled
Ben, walking up to the statue, amused; though lie
could’nt account for the various stories.
‘Don’t know what ye calls him, he’s de chap wat
did et,’ said the other curly head at the top of the
*tairs.
‘Some mistake,’ muttered the bride, approaching
—then looking into the library. ‘1 cau hardly believe
my’ senses.’
. T never beared the like,’ sighed the \isilor; ‘Ado
nis is gone!’
‘ 1 >is ’ere es no more de chap wat we dropped,
dan a nigger es a white man.’
The party retired to tell witch stories, ghost tales,
and ponder over the mystery, except Ben; who, af
ter restoring Hercules to his former position, came
in commenced shaking us, with—
‘Wake up! have you heard any noise?’
‘No—sleep cannon proof—what’s up!’ —rubbing
our eyes.
‘lt took noise enough to wake you, to start a regi
ment of soldiers. What do you say to a bachelor
set down, with a few bottles champaign to assist di
gestion ?’
‘Don’tdodge the question.’
I nder the mellowing influence of the ‘rosy god,’
Ben peached the mysterious secret—which we clear
ed up under the express consideration that it should
be kept.
W e were introduced to the ladies the next morn
ing, and saw by the twinkling eyes and rosy blush
es that the secret had been kept circulat
ing.
Sufficient is it to say that the young lady who ad
mired us as a statue, admired us much more in pro
pria personoi: that she had many charms, not the
least of which was a hundred thousand dollars; and
that in four weeks we sent the printer a cuke with a
wedding notice.
Reader, at the present time there’s talk of our
running for Congress) a pearly arm on our shoulders,
a little alabaster hand playing in our locks, a roguish
face with sparkling eyes, rosy cheeks, ruby lips
bending over us with (an explosion like unto a cork
popping from a beer bottle.) ‘You are real naugh
ty to tell all about it.’
From the Yankee Blade.
Deacon Marlow.
IJY LEOXADE.
Deacon Marlow was a very sober fellow, and I
heard him say the other night that he never laugh
ed'in church but three times in his life, and then,
he said, I would defy a turkey to keep a straight
lace;
I was preaching one Sunday evening, when I no
ticed a one-eyed little cliap away back in the corner,
take a pin out of his coat, and a piece of thread out of
his pocket; bite the thread and then poke it round
toward the fiery whiskers of a person who sat in a
pew ahead, and then pretend to thread his needle.
This lie did several times.
Another time I noticed a young man, with his
head laying back and his mouth wide open, snooz
ing it off” as comfortable its might be expected, when
an urchin in the gallery above, deliberately took out
of his mouth a chew of tobacco and let it drop, but
instead of its entering his mouth as intended, it took
him slap on the nose just as I made use of the sen
tence ‘And he caused the rain to fall in torrents,’ —
and being about half awakened, lie slowly put his
hand up to his face and exclaimed, ‘And oh, Lord
what drops.”
Thirdly, while preaching from a text in the elev
enth chapter of the First Book of Kings 1 I made
use of the sentence —‘And he had seven hundred
wives*/ —when an oldish chap, who was about half
awake, exclaimed enough to be heard all a
orundthe church, ‘ J-e-e-rusalem , it must cost him
something for broomsticks if they are all like my
Betty.

“O, mine cot 2” exclaimed the sufferer —“I pit
minesef very pad mit a snake, out in ter field.’’ —
And he pressed the wounded part with a tighter
g ra; P* . . , .
“ You pit youself mit a snake!’’ exclaimed tho
terrified and humane proprietor. “Den mine cot
a-rnitys, vy you don’t make fase and tie a bantage

Tiie Wood-Shed.—“ My dear Amelia,” said a
dandy falling upon his knees before his adorable.—
“I have long wished for this opportunity, but hard
ly dare speak now, for fear you will reject me; but
1 love you—say, will you be mine ?” You would be
to me every thing desirable —everything my heart
could wish—your smiles would shed .” Here
the fellow came to a pause. “Your smiles would
shed,” and again came to a stop, for he could not
think of a word suitable to be applied.
“ Never mind the wood-bhed,” exclaimed Ame
lia’s younger brother, who had slipped into the room
unperceived, at this moment, “ but go on with jour
courting.”
Mrs. Partington hearing the cry “Extra Herald!
Arrival of Jenny Lind!” exclaimed: “Ah, me! then
the Sweedish Martingale has come! How electa
ble it must be to listen to the sweet hominy of her
incanting voice ? Oh, the dear charmin’ bird of pur
adoq! how I should like to hear, for they do tell she
concedes all the music executioners in the melodra
my for the revokal powers!” and then she fell to read
ing the almanac.
Names for wives.—Shoemakers’spouses should
be Peggies; gambler’s ladies, Bets; and Sue would
he just the wife for an attorney. Sophias should be
of a sedative disposition, and confectioners’ wives
should always be Patties. Sometimes a name will
excite a remark ; all the papers copied the marriage
of Henry Apple and Sarah Apple, but wc could see
no impropriety in the making of two apples into
a pair.
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin has perpetra
ted the above. We do not see why he has left out
printer’s wives, who are always notes of admiration!

John Burruss, Editor & Proprietor.
npiIIS PAPER is the organ of the Universalist De

of our lAird and Savior, Jesus Christ. The promulga
tion and defence of the benign doctrine of Universal
tlra.ee as inscribed on the pages of Divine Inspiration—
Literature, the Markets, Science and General Intelli
gence.
It will give energetical essays on supposed difficult
passages of Scripture—repel assaults that arc being
made against the doctrine of Universal Salvation, (for
which, all good people pray) and labor to establish be
yond successful cavil, “by proofs divine, and reasons
strong,” that God will finally destroy sin and misery
from the Universe and ‘ reconcile all things unto himself,’
[col. 1., 20.] thoroughly washed and regenerated!
The unprecedented success which has thus far atten
ded the ‘llerald,’ has induced the Editor to publish it
every week, in an improved form, commencing in Janu
ary next, at greatly reduced rates.
As additional expense will necessarily be incurred, it
is to be hoped that the friends of liberal principles, will
at once exert their utmost influence in procuring new
subscribers, and thus aid in sending the ‘Herald’ into
many desolate regions of our Zion, where the voice of
the preacher is but seldom heard.
The Editor is pleased to state that Revs. C. F. R.
Shehane, S. J. McMorrris, Almon Gage, D. B. Clayton,
and others are regular contributors to the work, from
whose instructive pens, the columns of the ‘Herald’ will
be weekly enriched.
The reputation of there brethren is too well known to
require any eulogium from our pen. Suffice it to say,
that with their concentrated action, the Editor will labor
dilligently to make his paper an acceptable exponent of
the greatdoctrine of “the restitution of all things/ [Acts,

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS
AND THE
LEONARD SCOTT it CO.,
jVO. 54 GOLD ST., XEfT YORK,
CONTINUE to publish the four leading British Quar
terly Reviews and Blackwood’s Magazine; in addi
tion to which they have recently commenced the publi
cation of a valuable Agricultural work, called the
“Farmer’s Guide to Scientific and Practical Agricalture,”
By Henry Stephens, F. R. S., of Edinburgh, author
of the “ Book of the Farm,” &c., <fcc.; assisted by John
l*. Non ton, M. A., New Haven, Professor ot Scientific
Agriculture in Yale College, &c., &c.
This highly valuable work will comprise two large
royal octavo volumes, containing over 1400 pages, with
18 or 20 splendid steel engravings, and more than 600
engravings on wood, in the highest style of the art, il
lustrating almost every implement of husbandry now in
use by the best farmers, the best methods ut ploughing,
planting, haying, harvesting, &.C.,’ &c., the various do
mestic animals in their highest perfection ; in short, the
pictorial feature of the book is unique, and will render
it ol incalculable value to the student of agriculture.
The work is being published in Semi-monthly Num
bers, of 64 pages each, exclusive of the Steel engrav
ngs, and is sold at 25 cents each, or $5 for the entire
work in numbers, of which there will be at least twenty
two.
The British Periodicals Re-published are as follows,
viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW (Conservative),
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Wliigr),
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal),
AND
BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory.)
Although these works are distinguished by the political
shades above indicated, yet but a small portion of their
contents is devoted to political subjects. It is their lit
erary character which gives them their chief value, and
in that they stand confessedly far above all other jour
nals of their class. Blackwood, still under the masterly
iruidance of Christopher Xorth, maintains its ancient ce
lebrity, and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from
the serial works of Bulwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in its col
umns bot!) in Great Britain, and in the United States.—
Such works as “The Caxtons”aud “ My New Novel”
(both by Bulwer,) “ My Peninsular Medal,” “The Green
Hand,” and other serials, of which numerous rival edi
tions are issued by the leading publishers in this country,
have to be reprinted by those publishers from the pages
of Blackwood, after it lias been issued Iry Messrs. Sco't tp
Cos., so that Subscribers to the Reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest reading oi these
fascinating tales.

M. s. THOMSON, n. R,
M.WON, GEORGIA.
I."'OR a period of over thirteen years, it liai been the province of
I’ the aißttrsigneA t® prevent to the |epJe of Georgia, and the
surrounding Stales, the results of the use of innocent Vegetable
Medicines, in the irealtin ut un I rure ofdi~ease,as contradistinguished
from poisonous substances, to which from ehikUsiod, tliey have been
accustomed, and to whose js rne iou cifecU upou the constitution,
many ofthem tire living witnesses.
The success which during tins brng series of years, has attended
his administrations, lias, in many instances, been such, as to over
come the most inveterate prejudici * m favor of the aid order of things,
and to produce insteadUtereriE u conviction that ev.tn in medicine, as
in other branches of the physical defence*, new idea* may be advanc
ed, and results achieved, that our ancestors would have deemed im
possible, but which our posterity, thanks to the eßbji'teniuent of a
coming age, may find easy of accomplishment.
This succeds in curing diseases of the ni’>st hopeless character after
alolther means had failed.and that too, in many instances, without see
ing-thr patient, has long been the subject of general remark., exhibiting
as it does, in bold relief the difference between restoring A case that
lias been absolutely abei ndoned, and simply raising another, that hun
dreds of others could cure.
isucli cases can be pointed out in almost every county in Gec-via,
where some poor, decrepid, helpless being, after testing every Iw at
means without avail have seat oif, as a dernier resort, a deserif’ on
of their diseases to a distance, in many instances hundreds of miles,
and received back those health restoring remedies that have restored
them again to health and to society, to their own astonishment and
their neighbors wonder, putting at naught the sneers of antagonistic
interests, and adding new finger posts at every post office and cross
roads, |inting the way the city of refuge.
Without subjecting himself to the charge of presumption, he would
yet boldly say, that he firmly believes that nine-tenths of the so called
incurable cases in Georgia, are yet within the reach of medicine,and
can be cured by pursuing a proper course of medication, with the ex”
erciseof necessary’ care and perseverance, on the part of the patient,
which in all cases of a lingering character, are of the last importance.
The great facilities for this kind of treatment presented in the cheap
postage system, has been taken advantage of by/1 hours ads who hap
pily can indirectly attribute their present good-health to that noble spe
. cinien of liberal government; and there art-thousands more who may
reap the same advantages, by simply pursuing a similar course. Let
the afflicted if he cannot write himself, get bis neighbor to do it for
him, give a history of Ins case, age, habits, and symptoms, the same
ns if talking to a physician. If able and it is convenient, enclose
the fee ; if not convenient just then, a due bill for the amount will
answer, (this obviates the inconvenience of making accounts at great
distances,) and if not able, pre-|siy and mail the letter to bis address,
when medicines suitable to the case will lie compounded and sent
with full directions.
The charge for treatment is only (Ss> five dollars, monthly, a sunt
suliiciently small to obviate the fear of risk to any one, and yet suffi
cient to preserve him from loss iu his extensive administrations.
This done, call at the post otiice in a reasonable time, and receive
your medicines with as much precision as you would a fetter; pre
pare and use them as directed, and persevere; report progress month
ly, or oftencr, as may be necessary, and closely watch the progress of
the cure.
Having been long and extensively engaged in the treatment of dis
eases peculiar to females, he would say that they may avail them
selves of bis knowledge, with the utmost confidence, in bis prudence
and integrity,so that in writing out their symptoms, they may express
themselves with the necessary freedom. In some of the diseases of
the renal anil procreative system, the medicines lieing more costly, the
charge will be increased.
Such cases as require personal attention, will be treated on libera
terms in the city, where the necessary accommodations can always
be had.
Those wishing further information in regard to results, will address
a post-paid letter to the who will immediately mail to

BROWN’S
EftEK Tlilt PROGRESSIVE
POWER PRESS.
this new POWER PRESS, and its superiority
I over all others, are as Toilotvs:
The power applied is multiplied 440 times, by t lie Lever and Eccen
tric puily, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to the I-ever
wid exert a force 24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of
the bale box is o|ien to receive the Cotton, and it tnay lie put as near
the Gin House as is desired. * It is three times as |>owerfui as a screw
of 18 inches diameter, thatliasUi nine inch pitch of thread with the
same length of Lever, and of cotlVse the horse has to walk but one
third as far, for the reason that a lever is required but one-third as long
to do the same work. And further, the Press follower descends with
much greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, when
but little power is required, which shortens the distance travelled by
the horse, in proportion to the increased velocity of the follower at
the start.
Tins Press can be made very compact, and equally powerful, by
using the wheel and axle, and can be so modified as to answer any
purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic
purposes. For Cotton it requires one-fourth less work to build, and
three-fourths less work to raise, than the screws, and if acast iron Ec
centric wheel is used, it will not be much over half the i cork to build
as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, &e. it cannot
be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the
crew, and it is certainly the cheapest ever built.
The whole cost ofthe Irons will not exceed $45, which may be had
ofC. H. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person authosiz.ed to furnish
hem. This sum is exclusive of freight and the cost of right to use
the Press. If tlie Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, the cost will be
10 or 615 more for the Iron work,but it will materially lessen the
cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and will be the cheap
est in the end. Any good Mechanic can construct the Press from the
drawings and specifications which will accompany each riirht.
I shall sell a single right at 810, which sum can be sent by mail at
my risk, provided the fact of sending is certified to by the Postmaster
of the place where tiie letter is mailed. Each right will be accompa.
nied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will
be able to build tlie Press. Any communications, post-paid, will be
punctually attended to. A. D. BROWN.

—Certificate.—
Tills will certify that we witnessed, at the plantation of Mr. Wii
liarn Johnson, in this county, the perfortnnr.ee of a Cotton Press re
cently invented and patented by Mr. A. IX Bttovm, of this place, and
can, with confidence,recommend it to the public. Its great ;>ower,
conveniencennd simplicity of structure, renders it, in our estiiNUion,
eth best that we have seen. It packs downward, which we deems ve
ry essential; can be placed as near the lint room as desired, andean be
easily covered in and made very durr.Ue.

CERTIFICATE FROM MR. WILLIAM JOHNSON,
This teill certify, That I built and used one of Mr. A.IX Brown’s
Eccentric Progressive Power Presses last year, and am ftilly satisfied
that it is theltest that I have seen. I found no difficulty in building
fjotn the directions fu mished by Mr. Brown, anti found it much less
work than to build the Screw.
My brother Abram Johnson used the press for bis crop, aud was so
well pleased with it that he intends building one at his ow* place for
his next crop. WILLIAM JOHNSON.

of Dr. de (.ratfenried, its discoverer Ami inventor: ’ U * w

he has no hesitation in saying, tiiat it is derideifly the most™/
remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this moot painful7jT*

His note-book contains upwards of three hundred rases. m „
has been used within the altove named period, and in n, a
instance has it come to ids knowledge, of its having fciM t 0
cure when persevered in. Many of the cases we* fr,, w flm !T n *
years standing; and what may appear yet more remarkable and ***
ordinary, is, that v. lieu the patient has been once relieved. lhe and Cxttl
is permanently cured, remains so, not a solitary instance bay, JT®’*
reported to him of its return. • “ “**
All he would ask for tins remedy is a fair, impartial and
trial, for the results he entertains no apprehension. * J nent
Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had welt an,,’
the origin, progress and character of this disease, and is well a ,
bad consulted every author on its treatment, who bad written or T ‘
translate 1 into the English language, anil had used aW the ren*,i *
any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with
rarely any relief to jioor suffering humanity. ’ **7
It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent Hiyjp
and Surgeons of our own, and of every other country. But u,, B*’ 8 *’
dersigned llatters himself that his remedy will cure this aioii
disease, when all others have failed, and that he shah have t*,? “
humble instrument in the hands of God, of relieving tlie human f ai w
of a vast amount of suffering. “

which was an impossibility the day” before. I rose in the
morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain, I usedo ne
