.UHJ amt WOman's Right?, OR MASSACHUSETTS IN 1553. Mr. and Madam Dr. Kinewall, a couple in moder ate circumstances, had retired to bed on a bleak win ter's night, when a loud rap was heard at the door. ‘Get up,’ said the wife, “and see what is wanting.’ ‘I do not see why you had not as well do so yourself, as the day has gone by in which man has any rights, ami of course gallantry.’ However, he answered the demand. The messenger came in haste for the Madam Doctor. ‘Ah! ha,’said the husband, ‘some more pf your privileges, rather pleasant ones, too, 1 should think, to night.’ Madam got out of bed rather reluctantly, saying : ‘You saddle my horse while I make teady. ‘No, madam, have the full extent of your privileges; lam not sent for, and shall lie still. Now this may seem very unfeeling, and even uugen tlemanly, but who had instilled these feelings in men but the women? they had told them ‘tho idea of sexes should be abolished, both coming under the head of humanity.’ and Mr. K. with others had by degrees been led to surrender acts of gentleness in proportion as woman assumed the masculine, then releasing her com forts and real rights for imaginary ones; as this fami ly were not able to keep a hireling, there were many opportunities for madam to carry out her independ ence. The messenger volunteered to saddle the horse whilst doctor was making ready. Now’, as pantaloons ha/e in 1850 been ably discussed, and decided to have originally belonged to woman, of course they will wear them in common with man, for 1 doubt if they can be persuaded, much less driven to wear the petticoats with us: besides, on an occasions like the present, pants are indispensable, which compelled madam to borrow a lit tle of the i coman to effect another loau. ‘My dear, will vou lend mo them warm heavy pants of yours ?’ ‘I never applied to you for petticoat or dress In the days of your wrongs, but I suppose wardrobe and all are in common now ; take them.’ The pants w’ere full tight; off snapped a button ; and being too long, she gave them a reef, w hich made her almost exclaim ; ‘I almost w’sh we had left your foolish wardrobe out of our rights.’ ‘However,’ says the husband, ‘as you have adopted it, and cannot rid yourself of the woman in taking ail -age to dress, I would advise for the good of your pa tients, you do not undress at night.’ “Oh ! Mr. K., 1 hope you will take good care of the child ; if it wakes and frets give it some warm milk, which you will find in the basin there.’ ‘Why not order me to nurse it at once V ‘And you will fiud its wrappers here in the chair ; and mind, if I do not return until morning, and th babe is very fretful, give it four drops Irom this vial.’ ‘ls there anything more to be done? for I think your patient will find ample time to get well or die, one or the other, before you get there.’ The doctor and guide mounted their steeds and as ay they sped. Every thing save eternity has an end, so had the ride, which brought them to the neat little village of . The doctor was shown the room where his patient was to be found, and told that lie was evidently better, as he was in a profound slumber. This could not be doubted it the nasal or gan could be relied on, so the cheerful fire called more loudly for attendance. The doctor seated hersell to enjoy a good warming before the sleeper awoke. Ibis was pretty well accomplished, when she was aroused by a scream from the bed. saying. ‘Let me go, let me go,’advancing to the sufferer with‘what's the matter my friend ?’ She found it to be an enormous black man, whose curley hair and ebon skin contrasted strangely with the snow white sheets. ‘What is the matter with you ? lam the doctor that was sent for, to relieve you.’ The man stared about him as if to be certain he was not still dreaming; ‘well now’, you see, missus, ‘Don’t call me by that halted Southern title, but as a friend—you are my equal.’ ‘Well, the truth is dis, I was long time striving to get to Canady, where fugive law did'nt come. I got on the steam ear. when I see Mr. N. in next room. 1 knowed what he was arter, so 1 gin one jump in de ditch, hurt my leg and got lirium trimbles, I believe deeall it, for I shook all to pieces. Some good gemman find me and bring me here.’ The doctor found but little necessary to restore the physical of her patient, so she administered large doses, called for a room, saying, ‘I won’t go home till morn ing, no matter how husband and baby make out, for he has as much right to take care of it as I have.’ During this time poor Mr. K. was undergoing such a multiplicity of difficulties as made him a perfect mar tyr to woman’s rights, for the child awoke crying. He took it m liis arms, rocking it to and fro, as he had seen mother do, but baby nestled to liis bosom, and not find ing its rights, screamed the more. “Well, what shall Ido with this child? I’ll sing. So he not only gave baby a sample of his vocal pow ers but wit also, for he began on a high key, ascend ing as he went, to drown his r.val, ‘Oh Susanna, don't you cry for me, Mamma’s gone a riding, a patient for to see.’ Now, the child being named Tommy, seemed to take this as an indignity, and cried for any one who might he in hearing. ‘Thunder and murder, what shall 1 do ?—ah yes. give him milk.’ So up lie got, hauling baby out feet foremost, but instead of getting the basin lie was told, he nnfortunately got the one containining cold starch. Not being accustomed to feeding baby, he neither tasted nor warmed it but gagged the child, craming it in by spoonfulls. ‘There, I should think that ought to suffice,’ said he, as he set the basin aside, and so thought baby long since, if the little creature had the power of thought. * What next was I told to do ? I wish she had left me a written prescription. Now I will try the wrappers she said something about.’ So he got hold of the ironed clothes that had been laid on the back of the chair to get the benefit of the fire, seizing hold of a ta ble linen he envelopes the screamer in it; but that did not quiet it, for the cold raw starch by this time had thrown the little one into a violent cholic, causing it to writhe with such agony that the father became alarmed. ‘I think she said something about a vial.’ So he hit on the right one, by chance, but not having heard the spe cified quantity, or thinking the urgency of the case de manded a large dose, he poured out a spoonful, clutch ing little Tommy in his artn, he forced it down, that is, the greater portion. By-and-by the child’s screams became more and more subdued, and finally ceased, as it fell into a slumber. Mr. Iv. laid it in tho cradle, covered it up, looked at the clock, saw it was so near daylight that he deemed it unnecessary to retire, so he sat himself down to ponder on the evils arising from this new order of things. ,Now,’ said he to himself, ‘my wife has taken on her this profession. I shall be forced to become nurse, and I know what I'll do. 1 will act out that character with this boy, but hang me if there shall be any more need of nurses in my family, and as I have had a hard task to night in my first les son, I will reduce it to a science.’ About sunrise Mrs. Dr. rode up, put her horse in the stable and walked into the house. ‘Merciful heaveus!’ she exclaimed, as 6he found Mr. K. rigged out in her petticoat, frock and apron, with one of her medical works in his hand, silting by the cradle, ‘what is the matter with you? Arc you going crazy?’ said 6be, eyeing him with suspicion. ‘ M hy, where is the evidence ?’ replied the husband. ‘M hat have you got on my dress for ?’ ‘Pray, have you not my pants on ? I intend to learn the art of being nurse, even wetnurse, if possible, •o long as it is forced on me, and for that purpose think this the most suitable costume; and to facilitate my purpose, I have concluded to examine some of your medical books, and have hit upon a chapter to young mothers and nurses in general. 1 hope you will see the propriety of teaching me all you can, for I have had such a trial to-night as would put to shame old Jobs patience. Indeed, I seem to have been mesmer **d by the child's depend* nee on me. and endowed with hat pai ient forbearance that belonged to women, when T * had them.’ The wife could not repress a smile, but there was Ir y and self-reproach mixed with it, yet she would ’>ot have admitted that t any being ob earth, much **• husband. H was the isttDtiOD of Mr. K. to ridicule the wife into her duty, as mother at least, if it were possible, sohe mildly said, ‘you will go feed the stock, cut the wood, and go to mill to-day; if you need any instruc tions I am willing to give them, for I may need the same at your bands.’ ‘lndeed, I shall do no such thing, I assure you,’re sponded the wife, ‘so get up, divest yourself of those elothes, and attend to your affairs.’ ‘What is the use of my trying to attend to my work and yours too? I cannot do justice to both. You may be sent for in an hour to visit some more patients, when I should have to leave my work and fly to the nursery. No, no; I will stay here and learn my vocation, for 1 begin to have hopes, since I succeeded so effectually in putting the boy to sleep.’ This caused the mother to go to the cradle to see the babe. It looked strange to her; she shook it, but found it incapable of being aroused, ‘llow much pare goric did you give him ?’ ‘Only this spoonful,’ said the husband. ‘Oh, mercy! my child is dead ! I thought you had more sense ; I told you only a few drops ; run to neigh bor L.’s, tell liis wife to come here ; but stop, you are not going in that garb., ‘Yea lam.’ So off he ran. The dress, it is true, was short enough to show off his pants, which served as pantalets; but yet it impeded his progress; so he gathered it up in liis arms and away he flew. The neighbors saw him coming in this strange plight, and met him at the gate, half inclined to believe him insane. He told his errand, and made his way ‘'home with the lady. On reaching his house lie found mad am in paroxysm of tears, with the apparently lifeless child in her arms. Mrs. L. immediately prepared a bath, striped the child of table cloth and all, put it in, and commenced a gentle friction. ‘Now,’ said she, ‘get a few drops of vinegar, dilute it, and pry the babe’s mouth open and give it some.’ This was done. After a length ol time the child exhibited slight symptoms of returning life. Mr. K. was bustling about in his wife’s dress, doing all lie could to undo the mischief he had done, but still bent on gaining a point. Mrs. L., finding the child out of danger, in the after noon returned home, leaving this interesting trio to fur ther trials. ‘Now I think it high time you had returned to your senses; doff that garb and attend to business, since you cannot take care of the child one hour without killing it.’ ‘Very well said, indeed, my dear doctor wife, provid ed we both return to our senses at once. I did the best 1 knew how with the child; but Providence did not foresee the day when the mother would force her rights upon the father, or lie would surely have provided him with the means to satisfy the infant without starch or paregoric. Now if you, as a woman, or a mother, if you will agree to take care of the child for the future, not leaving it under my charge until he is large enough tor me to know how to manage him, then I’ll put up this volume and give up learning to be a young mother; and it you will never put on pantaloons, I pledge you never to be canght with your dress on while I live.’ ‘Do you mean by that I must give up my profession altogether ?’ said she. Y did not make that stipulation in the treaty; but consider before you decide. In the meantime I will go feed the stock, and give you time to think.’ Now, as Mrs K. gazed on the pale, prostrate, help less first-born, who had been snatched from death, the mother got the better ol \N Oman’s Rights, and she said, ‘I must yield; but, then, what will Mrs. 11., Miss P. EXTRACT From an Oration, delivered before the Irish Citizens of Macon, on St. Patricks Dak, March 1? th, 185 1, by Osborne A. Lochrane , Esq. I will now bring to your notice a few of the great men Ireland has produced; and first, of Robert Emmet, snatched from life in the bloom ot youth, and consigned to a felon’s grave for patriotism—bis only crime the lave he bore and the ambition he had to redeem his country. hen his lamp ot life was nearly extinguished; when the grave was opening to receive him, he towered above the affliction and sadness of the moment, and vindicated his character in a speech that will live for ever. Burke, who held enchained by his eloquence the British Senate eliciting “ The loud collision of applauding hands, ” dazzling with his variety of imagery, his flights of fancy, and the brilliancy of bis metaphors. Sheridan, the brightest wit, the most polished writer, and one of the most eloquent orators that ever lived. Pitt said of his speech against Hastings, “that it surpassed all the eloquence of ancient or modern times.” Fox said: “All that he had ever heard, all that he had ever read, when compared with it, dwindled into nothing, and vainished like vapor before the sun.” “ His mind was an essence, compounded with art, !• rom the finest and best of all other men’s powers ; He ruled like a wizard the world of the heart, And could call up its sunshine, or bring down it showers. ” Byron said:— “ Pity that Nature made but one such man, And broke the die in moulding Sheridan .” Grattan, one of the noblest, purest, patriots. In liis style, be was sincere and eloquent; his fancy was bright; but his eloquence needed not ornament; his mind towered like the Alps, and his arguments crushed opposition like an ‘valanche. Curran, the matchless orator, whose name the patriots of all ages i shall revere. His style, now flowing calmly as the stream, now tliun- j dering like the cataract. liis genius blazing through the clouds of death, lent hopes to his fated client, and he forgot his grief to listen, j Whether we look upon him in the house, or at the bar, ’tis all the ; same. The vivid flash, that broke through bigotry in the one, con- : sumed corruption in the other. His language never tired, for thought ■ and fancy, wit and poetry, led attention captive; and the images his fancy created decorated liis composition, as statues on the face of some magnificent temple. Flood, the wise, learned statesman. Plunkett, the I>emosthenes of his age. McNevin, the pure honest patriot, who struggled thirteen years for Ireland. W olfeTone, who was truly the life and soul of the insurection of’9B. F>r. Green, endeared to many of us by fond remembrance.— IP* fled from the storms of English tyranny that raged over desolate Ireland, and came to this land a wanderer from the halls of his fathers, and the shores of his native country, because of ’9B. Asa patriot, philosopher and man of letters, he was highly eminent; and his love of Ireland increased with his age, and left him only with his life. Sir Philip F'rancis, the reputed author of the “Junius Letters.” Charles Philip, the morning-star of rhetoric. His fancy soared to where angels sang, and to where “ Peris of ocean by moonlight have slept. ” O’Connell, the voice of liis country, tho echo of its people. He combined the facilities of a great statesman, the capacities of a great lawyer, and the talent of a great speaker before the people. He was anything a occasion demanded it—now humorously retailing jokes with illimitable drollery ; now tender and pathetic, as the widow’s tear or orphan’s ci v came to notice. No man stood so long the idol of the nation, and was as invincible to British prejudice and British oppres sion, as Daniel O’Connell. Richard Lalor Shiel, one of the greatest orators that ever lived- His style is like a seraph’s strain, all harmony. What Irishman that reads his reply to Lord Lynnhurst, in 1837, but loves his name, and is proud of his eloquence. When that Lord, lost to all sense of honor and of justice, denounced the Irish as aliens in blood, language, and religion, in the British House of Commons, Shiel rose, and in language that should be engraved on an Irishman’s mem ory, nobly repelled the charge, and made English glory rest on Irish valor; showed how Irish bayonets gained Vimiera; how Irish valor filled the moat of Badajos; how Irishmen precipitated themselves upon the foe, and dragged reluctant victory from the French at Water loo; how Irishmen had poured out their life-blood for England’s sal vation, and were entitled to the glory, having shared the peril. Standish O’Grady, whose definition of Enthusiasm, springing up, as it did, in the midst of a forensic argument, should have place for its truth and beauty. “It is, (said he,} a wild and ill-fated passion that gives the appearance of virtue to extravagance and vice and dwells with rapture on the delusion of hope, even to the moments of its dissolution. t\ ie * tal , ellt f d : e^ue ” t aT) d impassioned Whiteside, in his defence of Duffy in the State 1 rials, ” said, alluding to Ireland : “The hand of Omnipotence, by whose touch this island started into existence, from , atmd the waters that surround it, stamped upon its people noble quali ties of the intellect and the heart. Directed to the wise purposes for IreUnd 13 ” aVe “ redeem ’ exalt > re^nerate Meagher, the young orator, with fervid imagination, glowing thoughts, and flaming eloquence; equal in intellect to the greatest men of ancient or modern times. “ His love without ambition grew ” and the thought of liberating his country dwelt in his young heart, ’* “ As dwells the gathered lightning in the cloud. ” Mitchell; a noble soul animated his generous heart, a patriot’s fire burned there, that not all all the terrors of a dungeon, nor the bleak ness of exile, could extinguish. He would have robed Ireland in glory • lie would have exalted her above the nations of the earth. The noble, pure, magnanimous O’Brien. He strewed at the altar of his country bis hopes, his fortune, and hie sacred honor. He dedi- and a?I the band say. I hate to be the first to yield ; yet 1 I will assure them it is only for a time, till Tommy is larger; and husband may believe as he pleases.’ ‘\s ell, have you decided which is my work and what is yours ?’ said Mr. K., on his return. ‘Yes, I'll tako care of the child, myself,’ sulkily re plied she. ‘And leave me the pantaloons to myself, ha?’ said Mr.K. ‘Yes,’growled the wife. ‘Now, remember, though Ido not know all things, yet if you fly from this contract, I vow to put on your old dress, take Tommy and go South until I again meet with women—for they still exist there.’ So off’ he tore the dress, took up the axe, went out and re sumed the man again—thinking if woman felt as much cramped in the privileges she had wrested from man as he did under those she imposed in their stead, she was amply punished for her folly. MADELINE. “Rare Mosaic this I ween, Quaintly wrought witli shade and sheen.” ‘What blessings children are!’ as the parish Clerk said, when he took the fees for christening them. A fashionable lady of color who gave a splendid party the other evening, received this reply from one of the gentlemen to a note of invitation : ‘Mr. White regrets that circumstance repug nant to the acquiesce, reluctantly constrains him to decline.’ In the time of Forrow and care, souls draw near to one another. When outward adversity storms around us, we gether together the most beautiful flowers of friendship, and they grow beneath the tears of sorrow. A Slight Discrepance.—Editor Wright, of the Commonwealth, seem to think that a lofty oak is not exactly the same thing as half a dozen saplings, nor the Belgian giant a mere composition of Lilli putians. In dissecting a witness who testified against him during the late examination, he says : ‘First, he saw him behind a tall nigger, but the ab surdity of that being remarked; he altered his !es titnony, and saw him over the heads of three small niggers.’ How queerly does a lady feel A walking in the street, When just below her pantalettes You see her naked feet; Her stockings are not darned a mite, They are darned full of holes : I’d rather, a darn- ation sight, See shoes without their soles. Timon says, when men marry now a days, they get more whalebone than women, and more coffee hags than tin. About these days, Timon should avoid broom handles. A Yankee once said, the most remarkable oc curence he ever saw was a fight between a snaki and a frog nigh his frog-pond. The snake got hold c l the frog’s hind leg, and the frog seized the snake by the tail. Both began to swaller, and the last seen of ’em they had ho*b fii-Hnoarp(|, cated himself to her service, and liis life to her redemption; but, alas! in other lands they dream away uncounted hours; amid rocks and waving trees they wander. When the sun sinks to rest, their eyes fol low its setting, but to them there is no rest. Sleepless they behold its rising; day on day, as the agony of separation from wife and children, friends and country, presses upon them, the Spring may come dressed in verdure to their island home, but they cannot bless its coming, or rejoice amid its beauties. Spring only brings regret, and revives the recollection of misfortune. Amid solitude and grief, their minds, whose brightness kept warm the emotions of the soul, will soon be chilled and dimmed in gloom; for the mind, like the fire-fly, emits its brightness only when active. These men were torn from their coun try, from weeping wife and crying child; and yet Irishmen, with i hearts of solid ice, looked on their expatriation. The widowed wife and artificial orphanage created by this act, will tell to the world the tears that mark their absence. Let but the Irish act /reeinen, and they shall be restored. England bT nqf the tHundersoq Jupiter, nor the inscrutable decrees of fate to sj*>nj%l,W inyill her cruelties. Let but the Irish feel and act as men.’nt. pqper of England in Ire land would melt as ice before the Ireland, liberated from the ; chains of oppression and injustice, would ‘‘rise erect and free,” and ! wear as the brightest jewels in the diadem of her glory, the names of | Meagher, Mitchell, and O’Brien. j Ireland has produced poets of a first order. Goldsmith, the author j of the “Deserted Village, ’’ and “The Traveller,’’will live as long as the i English language, and Time, gasping in the beat that heralds eternity, | may exclaim with him— “ Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that little long. ” The fascinating and sparkling Moore, whose songs are embalmed in music, and whose Lalla liookh seems written in the odors of Eastern lands. Byron said, “he would live in his melodies forever. ” Ireland has produced in Science many high and gifted names. In martial glory her sons are proudly eminent. She has given to the world a Wellington, the hero of Waterloo; Guyon, the friend of Hun garian liberty; Devereux, who fought bravely under Bolivar in South ; America; Montgomery, who led the Northern army in ’76; Shields, who fought in Mexico. It is enough to say, that when Maria Theresa, Queen of Hungary, instituted fifty crosses of the Legion of Honor to | be distributed among those who would most distinguish themselves in • her wars, forty-six were gained by Irishmen. Admiral O’Dwyer com manded the large fleet of Russia into 1787 in the Bay of Naples.— I could repeat until the sun’s decline the glories and greatness of the Irish people ; but I must pass over many noble names now filling the world with their achievements. The light of Irish genius circles in other lands. Go to England ; There you will find Irishmen higti in position and influence. Go to France, they are there ; Russia, they are there ; but it was the Provi dence of God to lead them to this Western continent. Irishmen should love America, for here they have been protected. This country opened its arms to receive them, to share their sorrows, and extend them sympathy. Shall we not say, God bless America ? Here we are floating on the bosom of an unruffled stream, rushing evenly on to the sea of greatness; no rocks of power arrest its course; no foam of distinction rests upon its waters; a land where reason crowns the head of merit, and whose feudal crest is not the heraldic emblazon ment of a name, but the brilliant of intelligence. A land in which all are noble, under the smile of a cheering God; a land where Pro vidence has placed the book of fame in each one’s hand, and all he has to do is, to write his name, with industry and energy, on its gilded pages. America, just born, with the dew of the baptism wet upon her forehead, struggled with the giant monarch of the old world for reedom, and gained it. Trenton and Lexington, Concord and Brandy wine, attest the bravery of her sons; and Art has brought its best gifts to her. Washington— “ His name a watch-word, such as ne’er Shall sink, while there’s an echo left to air. ” The land he rescued from the grave of tyranny shall send its spirit into the courts of foreign princes, and tyrants shall quail in its pres ence. Jhe red hand of bloody war shall be lifted oft many a strug gling Em pi re, at its appeal; aud haughty England and insolent Rus sia tremble for their existence, while down-trodden Poland, weeping Greece, bleeding Hungary, and broken-hearted Ireland, shall hail its approach as sacred, and hold a jubilee for its presence; Communism and Socialism go to the archives of oblivion, and France rise regen erated a,nd disenthralled by the pure spirit of republican liberty before itg Switzerland be free, and the spirit of Tell recall Montgomery’s Wanderer; Hofei's spirit return to the hills of Tyrol, and inspire iiis country men to live an hour in war, that years of peace might follow. It will create new worlds, and give new laws to the old ; buried, it will rise again ; dead, it will come to life; torn and separated, it will survive, for its genius is freedom, and it will be eternal as eternity! America has risen from weakness to power; from the grasp of tyranny, to free dom ; her Eagle , flying above the skies, protects her 31 bright stars, glistening in the light of liberty. May the iron band of friendship rivet these State, and not one be “ Like a limb from the country cast bleeding and torn !” America has produced brilliant orators, profound and philosophic statesmen, sparkling writers, and eloquent historians. She has pro duced a Fulton, who has enriched the world’s commerce by his art, making ships “walk the waters like things of life”; Franklin, who caught the fiery element of heaven, and tamed it to man’s use. Is it not astonishing to our credibility to see news fly ing faster than the wind had it a tongue, could proclaim it? Her generals stand forth wreathed in the laurels of victory. But look upon her daughters, “ Created by Heaven with a smile of grace, And wearing the smile that made them on the face. ’’ Fairer than the virgin Spring; brighter than the opeuiug eye of morn ing ; pure as morning’s early balm, and sweet asevening’s balmy sigh. Oh, may she be u Like the flower New opened in the valley, where no foot Hath trodden, and no living thing hath left Trint of this world’s pollution. n Babies.— Talking about the babies, we always lov ed a baby—not any of your sour, suspicious, squalling specimens; but a bright rosy, dimpled thing, full of fun and frolic, running over with glee, and of such a con fiding unsuspecting disposition, as not to refuse to go to any body. What can be moro refreshing in this busy, tiresome world, than an occasional romp with a baby ! A letting down as it were of the chord of mind, until it vibrates in unison tvith a baby’s and then holding a con fidential chat, in real baby vernacular. Then to have a couple of white chubby arms thrown around your neck, and a pair of rosy lips, fresh as rosebuds ere the dew have left them, presented for a kiss! The man who can think of it without softening of the heart and a watering of the mouth, is no better than the swine be fore which the pearls are cast, and we hope he may never be blessed with a baby—or if he is, let it be a kicking, pugilistic baby, one skilled in the art of goug ing, which takes a delight in running his thumb into your eye, and is always trying to obtain a lock of your hair by a more summary process than clippling. A lady was lately waited on by a poor womi n, who lived in the neighborhood, and who solicited charity, urging that she had named a child after the lady. Y had understood that the little one was a boy,’ said the lady. ‘So it is,’ said the other.— ‘Certainly, then, you could not have given it my name.’ ‘I know it,’ said the other, ‘but your name is Augusta, and I named my boy Augustus, which is so near it that I thought you would give me anew frock lor him ; and will do without the apron, on account of the difference in the last syllable.’ Sal, don’t Founder ! —At the celebration ball in Coldwater, after the dancers began ‘to get in terested’ and commenced calling for ‘last tunes,’ a couple who had been particularly industrious, and were very much warmed up by the exercise, ‘hauled off’ for a drink* The lady drank immode rately, and the young iljan, probably having wit nessed the results of watting freely after‘fast driving.’ in a voice tliattt =t could'be heard all over the room, cried out—‘ Sal don't founder!’ The sententious warning it is said had the desired effect, and it is possible that the fair one’s life was saved by this means. Geographical.—A correspondent of the Bath, Me. Mirror, wjiting on the spot, says:—‘VViscas set is bounded on the north by land—on the east by water .and a bridge—west by land—south by land and water—and besides two stage lines, there is a telegraphic wire which runs through the place.’ Defining His Position.—‘Get up—get up,’ said a watchman the other night, to a chap who had fal len a grade below the door-step sleepers, and who had taken a lodgment in the gutter. ‘You must not lie here.’ ‘Lie! you’re another! y-you lie yourself! not lie here! I tell you wh-vvlmt, old fellow, that may do to t-teli in them slave States, hut I’ll let you know,’ said the agrarian, sputtering a mouthful of mud into the watchman’s face,‘that this is free sile.’ An acquaintance of ours boasts of having a smart wife. He says she urns her coffee, every morning, before breakfast. Father,’ said a roguish boy, ‘1 hope you won’t ouy any more gunpowder tea for mother.’ ‘Wliv not ?’ ‘Because every time site drinks it she blows me up ’ Are there ingering Doubts IN the minds of the people of Georgia, in regard to the supe rior efficacy of innocent Vegetable remedies, properly applied, over mineral and Vegetable poisons in the most skillful hands? If there are, a few more facts of a marked and remarkable char racter, tending to prove the affirmative of the question, will not be inappropriate. Convulsive Fits Cured!

Thomson —Dear Sir: Your success has been such in curing my son of Rheumatism and my negro woman of liver disease, Rheumatism, Syphilis &c. that 1 cannot re frain from giving you the credit that is due you, for your skill, and if you think that a statement of the cases will be any use in directing other sufferers, to the proper remedies, the following rel .tion of facts is at your disposal. Some 14 years ago, my negro woman Rhody was taken in a lingering way, supposed to be caused from Syphilis, treated by herself, which on discovering, 1 put her under the care of reveral mineral physicians, Drs. Little and White of Mil ledgeville, especially, who after mercurializing her a year or so. left her worse than they found her, laboring in addition under Mercurial Rheumatism. I then applied to Dr. Woodruff, who treated, and I thought cured her, but after a while, she became worse again, so much so that 1 despaired of relieving tier. Under these cir cumstances I applied to you, and 1 am pleased to be able to report, that notwithstanding it is a long time ago, she has had no return of her disease since, but is now doing me very good service. The case of my son was one of Mercurial Rhematism ari sing from salivation for a fever. After keeping lingering for three or four years, and getting worse all the time, till his limbs were drawn and stiffened very much; notwithstanding all that wecould do, he continued thus, till we applied to you when you soon relieved him, and I am happy to be able to re port that consider him relieved cured, and has been so twelve months. In conclusion, dear sir go on and prosper, you may have ene. mies, as who that is any account lias not, but success in curing such desperate cases must hear you up, and that your success may be commensurate with your merits is the earnest wish of yours truly, ’ GILLIS WRIGIIT.

Tlie superior of Quinine and Sarsaparilla. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE. DR. I. T. HENDERSON’S EUREKA TONIC AND NEPENTHEAN PILLS, a safe, certain and permanent antidote against all forms of the pois onous effects of miasmata, effecting speedy and per manent cures of CHILLS and FEVER, and all the different varitires of Fevers; torpid liver, eulargemeut of the spleen, dyspepsia, dropsy, Jaun dice, and all kinds of constitutional debility and de rangement of the system, are speedily remedied by these invaluable medicines. These valuable antidotal rented e were discovered by Dr. I. T. Henderson, and have been successfully tested by some of the best Phy sicians in the South, and by thousands of other per sons. The medicines are wholly Vegetable, and are harm less under any circumstances. The principal ingredi ents are entirely new remedies, used by no other person in any form as a medicine. In malarial diseases, they act as an antidote against the poisonous effects of impure air, and require no pre ceding preparation of the system, as they comprise the C athartic, Diaphoretic, Sedative and Tonic princi ples ; thus accomplishing a desideratum in the treat ment of these diseases, long sought for before the dis covery of these medicines. All who have used Quinine, (the best remedy here tofore known for ‘ntermittent fever,) must say it is neither certain or lasting in its effects. Quinine, in many instances, from febrile excitement and gastralgia, and cephalic disturbances, is inad missible. But the Eureka Medicines can he used un der any circumstances or condition of the system, where a tonic, purge, or diaphoretic is needed, with the happiest effect. The tonic mildly acts on the bowels, carrying of the muco billions matter collected there ; correcting the action of the liver and spleen, and as sisting nature to throw of the impediments to a healthy action of the body by natural remedies, calling into action suspended animal laws; thereby removing the causes and effects of disease through the natural chan nels of the body. All that is asked for the wonderful medicines is a fair trial, which will satisfy all of their unpuralelled vir tues. 4 heir fame is built upon their own efficacy, and a comparison with all other remedies is challenged.— Physicians are requested to use the Eureka Tonic and Nepenthean Pills, as they would any other tonic, with any previous preparation of the system they please, and they will be convinced that they are superior to Quinine, and the whole catalogue of tonics used as in termittents. Their use is admissible at any time, even when the patient has the highest fever. For sick head ache or obstructed menstruatiou, they have no equal. For particulars, see tonic directions. Also, Dr. I. T. HENDERSON’S EUREKA PU- Rlf 4 ING CA IIIARTIC PILLS, for cleansing and purifying the Constitution, and establishing a health)* economy in all persons laboring under any form of con stitutional derangement. Also, Dr. I. T. HENDERSON’S OUACHITA \ ERMIFUGE, the greatest blessing ever bestowed upon the infantile world, warranted to expel worms of every kind and in every case, where they exist in the body. This Vermifuge has proved itself decidedly superior to any other in use. Also, Dr. I T. HENDERSONS NERVE AND BONE LINA.MENT.or HEAL ALL AND PUL MONIC AL. The use of this astonishing Liniment, has been attended with unparalelled success in all dis eases of man or horse. For a horse, it instantly cures Corks, Scratches, Chafes, Cuts, Wounds, Splints, Spavin, Stiffle, Swinney, Sprains, Film of the Eye, Whirlbone of any joint, and Distemper. lor a man, it speedily cures Rheumatism, Gout, Scrofula, Burns, Scalds, Tetter, Ringworms, YVens, Swellings,Risings, Cuts, Sprains and Bruises, Old Ul cers, Scald Head, Sore-throat, Salivation, Consump tion, Bronchitis, Snake-bite, Sore Mouth, Neuralgia, Piles, Ground Itch, &c.
