Allow me to call your attention to my
Preparation Compound of
Extract Buchu.
*
The component parts are BUCHU
LONG LEAF, CUBEBS, JUNIPER
BERRIES.
Mode of Preparation.— Buchu, in
vacno. Juniper Berries, by distillation, to firm a fine
gin. Cubeba extracted by displacement with spirits
spirits obtained from Junip r Denies: very little
sugar b use l, and a small proportion of spirit. It is
more paiateable ti an any n- w in use.
Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a light color.
It is a plant that emits its fragrance ; the action of a
flnme destroys this (its active principle,) I*j ving a
dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color of
ingredients. The Buchu in my preparation predomi
mtes; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients
are added, to prevent fermentation ; upon inspec
tion, it will be found not to be a Tincture, as made
in Pharmacopcea, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore
can be used in cases where fever or inflammation ex
ist. In this,you have the knowledge of ihe ingredi
ents and the mo le of preparation.
Hoping that, you wtll tavor it with a trial, and that
upon inspection it will meet with your approbation
With a feeling of confidetce,
I am very respectfully yours,

SMITH'S TONIS SIRUP!
FOR THE CURE OF
AGUE AND FEVER
OR
CHILLS AND FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to the paolic for the safe, certain, speedy and per
manent core of Ague and Fever .or Chilis and Fever
whether#! short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him
testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case
whatever will it fail in cure, if the directions are strict
ly followed and ca ried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole
families have been cured by a single bottle, with a per
fect restoration of the general health. It is, however,
prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its
use i j continued in smaller doses for a week or two af
ter the disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this medi
cine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order; should the patient, however, require a
cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four
doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL’S VEGETA
BLE KAM’LY PIuLS will be sufficient.

Bull’s Worm Destroyer.
lo my United States and World wide Read
era:
I HAVE received many testimorials from profes
sional and medical men, as my almanacs and vari
ous publications have shown, ail of which are genuine.
Ihe tollowing from a highly educated and popular
phpdcian in Georgia, is certainly one of the most sen
sible communications I have ever received. Dr. Clem
ent knows exactly what he speaks of, and his testimo
ny deserves to be written in le ters of gold. Hear

DR. JOHN BULL—Dear Sir:—l have recently giv
en your “Worm Destroyer” several trials, and find it
wonderfully efficacious. It has not failed in a single
instance, to have the wished-for effect. lam doing a
pretty large country practice, aDd have daily use for
some article of the kind. lam free to confess that I
know of no remedy recommended by theablest authors
that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On the con
trary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object
in writing you is to find out upon what terms I can
get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it
upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. lam
aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the
teachings and practice of a great majority of the reg
ular line of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or good
sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be ef
ficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its com
bination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all
and aDy means to alleviate suffering hum < rfity which
I may be able to command—not hesitating because
someone more ingenious than myself may have learn
d its effects first, and secured the sole right to secure
hat knowledge. However, lamby no m« ans an ad
vocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nos
trums that flood the country, that purport to cure all
manner of disease to which hum in flesh is heir.
Please reply soon, and inform me of your bestterms.

Eleg) in a C ountry Churchyard.
*********
Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree’s
shade.
Where leaves the turf in many a smouldering
heap,
Kaeh in his narrow cell forever laid.
The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
*********
Let not ambition mock their tisefnl toil.
Their homely joys and destiny obscure;
Nor grandeur hear with disdainful smile
The short and simple annals of the poor.
The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power.
And all that beauty, all that wealth ee’r gave,
Await, alike, the inevitable hour;
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.
Nor you , ye proud, impute to these the fault
If memory o’er their tomb no trophies raise,
Wherethrough the long-drawn aisle and fret
ted vault
The pealing anthems swell the note of praise.
Can storied urn or animated bust
Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath ?
C an honor’s voice provoke the silent dust,
Or flattery soothe the dull, cold ear of death ?
Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid
Some heart once pregnant with celestial Are;
Ilauds that the rod of empire might have sway’d,
Or waked to ecstaey the living lyre.
*********
Yet even those bones from insult to protect,
Some frail memorial still erected nigh.
With uncoth rhymes and shapeless sculpture
decked
Implores the passing tribute of a sigh.
Their name, their year, spelt by the unlettered
muse,
The plaee of fame and elegy supply;
And many a holy* text around she strews,
To teach the rustic moralist io die.
For who to dumb forgetfulness a prey
This pleasing, anxious being e’er resigned,
Left the warm precinct# of the cheerful day,
Nor cast one longing, lingering look behind ¥
On some fond breast the parting soul relies,
Some pious drops the closing eye requires;
Even from the tomb the voice of nature cries:
Even in our ashes live their wonted fires.

Hiram Green’s Experience as an
Editor.
“Whooray ! Whooray! ” I exclaim
ed, rushiu’ into the kitchen door, one
mornin’ last spring, and addressin’
Mrs. G. “I’ve been invited to edit the
Skeensboro FBh Horn. Fame, madam,
awaits your talented pardner.”
“Talented Lunkhead, you mean/’
said this interestin’ femail; “you’d look
sweet editin’ a noose paper. So would
Henry Ward Beecher dancin’ ‘shoofly’
along with Dan Bryant. Don’t make
a fool of yourself if you know any
thing, Hiram, and respect your fami
¥'
The above conversation was the pre
lude to my first and last experience in
editin’ a country paper.
The editor of the “Fish Horn” went
on a pleasure trip, to plant a rich ant
who had died and left him seme cash.
Durin’ his absence I run his paper
for him. Seatin’ my form ontop of the
nail keg, with shears and paste brush,
I prepared to show this ere communi
ty how to run a noosepaper.
1 write the fullerin' squibs and put
em in my first issue.
“If a sertin lite complexion man
wouldn’t run his hands down into su
gar barrels so often when visitin gro
sery stores, it would be money in the
pocket of Skeensboro merchants.”
“Query.— Wonder how a farmer in
this town, whose name we will not rite
likes buruin wood from his nabor’s
woodpile ?”
“We would advise a sortin toothless
old made to leake off paintin’ her
cheeks, and stop slanderin her nabors.
If she does so, she will be a moro
interestin femail to have around.”
Stop Thief. —If that Deekin, who
trades at one of our grosery store, and
helps himself to ten cents worth of to
baker while buyin one cent’s worth of
pipc3, will divide up his custom, it
would be doin the square thing by the
man who has kopt him in tobaker for
several years.”
These articles was like the bustin of
a lot of bumsliells in this usual quiet
boro.
The farmers met at Sirnmonsee stoi e
After tryin on the garment about
steelin the wood, it was hard to decide
who the coat fit the best, but each
one made np his mind to pay off an
old grudge, and ‘pitch into the Lait
Gustice.’
All the old maids met together in
the village milliner shop, where the
Sore-eye-siss society held meetins once
a week, and their false teeth trembled
like a rattle snake’s tail, when they
read my article about old rnades
It was finally resolved by this an?
shient lot of caliker to “stir up old
Green.”
Headed by Sarah Youmans, the
crossest old made iu ihe United States,
and all armed with broomsticks and
darnin'’-needles the door of iny editori
al offis was buHtedopeu, tnd the whole
cabnodle of women, fnmUhin for my
top hair, entered.
They foamed at the month l;l|a a.
pack af disappointed Orpheus—C—v
Kerrs, as they brandished their wepins
over my bald head. ’ * **
‘Squire Green, irnid a mask aline-*
look in specimen of time-worn caliker,
holdin a copy of the Fish Horn iu her
bony fingers, ‘did you write that ‘ere?’
“Wall,” said I, feelin somewhat riL
ed at the sassy crowd, “s’posen I did
or didn’t, what on it ?’
“We are goin to visit the wrath of a
dowu-trodde . rose upon your frontis
piece, that’s what we is, d’ye hear, old'
Pilgarlick ?” suid the exasperated 17th
Amendmenter, as she brought doowu
her gingham umburellu over my shoul
ders. M? e htuv
At this they all rushed for me.—
With paste-brush and shear's I kept
them off, uutil sunebody pushed me
over a woman who had got tripped up f
when the army of infuriated Aina*oua,
piled oo to my aged form.
This round didn’t last mor*n two
minutes, for as soon as they got me
down, they all stuck their confounded,
needles into me, and they left me look
in’ more like a porkupine than a human
bein’.
NO. 9ft.
I hadn’t mor’n had time to pull oat a
few quarts of needles, before iu walks
2 big stmppin’ farmers.
“Old man, we’ve come for you,” said
one cf ’em. We’ll larn you to slander
honest fokes.”
At this, he let fly his rite bute at my
cote skirts.
I was borne-sick, you can just bet.—
Then t’other chap let me have it,
“Down stairs with him,” sed they
both, and down I went pooty lively so?
an old man.
Just as I got to the bottom I lit on
a man’s head. It was Deekiu Perkins
cornin’ to bust “my gizzard.”
‘ Hevings and uirtb,”sed the Deekin*
ns he tumbled over in the entry way.
I jumped behind a door, emejutly, and
as the farmers proceeded to polish off
the Deekin, I was willin’ to forgive both
of ’em, as the Deekin groaned and yelled.
Yes siree! it was soothiu’ fun for me,
to see them farmers welt the Doekin.
Steelin’ up stairs agin, I was brush
in’ off my clothes, when in walks Ebe
nezer Swatel.
Sed he, ceasin’ me by the cote collor
and shakin’ me, “I’ll larn you to rite
about steelin’ sugar; take that—and
that,” at which he let fly his bute, and
down stairs I went agin, Eben urgin'
me on with bis bute
Suffice to say the whole village called
on me that day, and I was kicked down
stairs 32 times by the watch—Hoss
wipt by 17 women—besides being stuck
full of needles by a lot more.
I got so used to being kicked down
stairs, that every time a man come in
the door, I would place my back to
wards him and sing out:
“Kick away, my friend, I’m in the
Editorial biziness to-day—to-morrow I
go bents—there’s rather too much ox
citement minin’ a noosepaper, and i
shall resiue this evenm , . , ‘
When I got home that nite, I looked
like an angel carrying a palm-leaf fan
j in his hand, and clothed in purple and
fine linen. My body was purpler than
a hucleberry pie, and my linen was
torn into pieces finer than a postage
! stamp.
“Sarved you rite, you old fool,” said
Mrs. Green, as she stood rubbin cam
fire onto me. ‘ln ritiu noosepaper ar
