p are particularly pleased with this vol
fle °f Mr*. Whitaker's poems, which we
f conten t to send forth to the world, as a
r-inien of Southern poetical talent. Un-

of sense ; partaking in its character

‘° nes > books in the running brooks, and
in everything” but we never heard, un
-19 other dav that the business of trunk
making had been brought to such musical
perfection as will be shown by the following
anecdote, which we can Vouch for as au actu
al occurrence to a friend of ours. Our friend
stopping one evening, while traveling, it the
houseof a friend in the country, had his valise
brought into the piazza. After tea a couple
of young ladies who were also there on a visit,
bogan whispering among themselvesand pre
sently one ot them requested the hostess to
call upon our triend for a song he being ns
they had heard, something of a musical man.
The request was accordingly made but owing
to a baJ cold, declined. The young ladies
said nothing, but, presently, hearing an ord
er given to take the valise up stairs, the whis
pering recomencce. and presently the follow*-
iog petulant halt suppressed exclamation es
caped one of them. “Well now, that’s mean.
He’s got a cold and he can’t sing, but his va
lise lias’nt got any cold, and he might give
us a tune on that.”
Our friend says he followed his valise up
stairs instanter.
An Old Legend with a New Tale. — In her
Memoir of a Hungarian Lady, Theresa Pul
sky tells the following story, tipped with a
sharp, political sting: —“A miller at the
Branyisko, (a steep mountain path,) when his
mill had stopped, being overwhelmed with
sorrow at the prospect of starvation for his
wife and children, plunged into the forest.
There he met a fine gentleman with a cloven
foot, a red cloak, and a cock’s feather in his
hat, who promised to get him water for the
mill if he gave up an object ho possessed
without knowing it. The miller, it is not
doubted, recognized the gentleman ; but need
proving more powerful than conscience, he
acquiesced in the proposition, and hastened
home. There he found the mill in full activ
ity 7 , and his mother in-law met him joyfully,
with the news that his wife had happily borne
him a son. The poor man was struck dead
on the spot with horror. The fine gentle
man soon carried the baby away under his
red cloak. For a long, long time, the little
one’s mother heard nothing about him, and
mourned for him ; till at last the tidings
reached her, that her son, owing to his emi
nent education, had grown a doctor of laws,
Hilda mighty grand gentleman, Minister of
the Interior at Vienna !”
A Family Ready Made. — A strange scene
occurred at St. Peter’s, in Eastgate Church,
Lincoln. A simple man named Hardwick
was “ asked,” fur the first time, to a widow
named Salter, having ten children for a
dowry*. No sooner had the customary com
mand been £iven, “If you know any just
cause or impediment,” &c., then up jumped
a person named Herriogshaws and forbade
the marriage, on the ground that he had a
prior claim to the widow with half a score
children. The man proceeded to give his
notion of the validity 7 of his pretence, and
the scene became so ludicirous that many of
the congregation could scarcely repress a
hearty roar of laughter. Nods and becks
did not silence the eager competitor for the
widow’s love and bantlings, nnd the cleik
was obliged to go up and toll him to hold his
tongue. He was taken into the vestry, after
the service, and reproved. —Dublin paper.

Turner’s Compound Fluid Extract of
CNYZA and STILLINGIA.
THIS Preparation is a highly Concentrated
Extract, containing all the Active Medicinal
Properties of the Conyza, (commonly known
as Black Root,) and the Stillingia, or Queen’s
Delight.
These Plants have long since been used among
our Southern Negroes and in empyrical practice,
with the happiest results, in cases of Chronic
Rheumatism, Ulcers of long standing, and Sec
ondary Syphilis. It is much superior to any pre
parations of Sarsaparilla as an alterative, being
more active and prompt in its operation on the
system. These facts have induced the subscri
bers to present to the attention of Physicians a
preparation prepared according to strict Chemi
cal and Parinaceutical science, devoid of all
the feculent and inert parts of the root, not doubt
ing that it will supercede the unscientific and
crude preparations hitherto used.

AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL.
For the cure of Coughs, Colds,
Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Croup,
Asthma, Whooping-Cough,
and Consumption-
The uniform success which h is attended the
use of this preparation—ifs salutary effects—
its power to relieve and cure affections of tile
Lungs, have gained for it a celebrity equalled
by no oilier medicine. We oiler it to the af
flicted with entire confidence in its virtues,
and the full belief that it will subdue and re
move the severest attacks of disease upon the
throat and Lungs These results, as they be
come publicly known, very naturally attract
tile attention ot medical men and philanthro
pists everywhere. What is their opinion of
CHERRY SECTORAL may be seen in file
following :
VALENTINE MOTT, M. 0.,
Prof. Surgery Med Cot., A'eic York , says :
“It gives me pleasure to certify the value
and efficacy of Ayer’s CHERRY PECTO
RAL, which 1 consider peculiarly adapted to
cure diseases of the Throat and Lungs.”
THE RT. REV. LORD BISHOP FIELD
writes in a letter to his friend, who was fast
sinking under an affection of the Lunas ■
“ Try the CHERRY PECTORAL, and dauy
medicine can give you relief, with the bless
ing of God, that will.”
CHIEF JUSTICE EUSTIS,
of Louisiana, writes That a young daughter
of liis was cured of several severe attacks of
Croup by the CHERRY PECTORAL.”
ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS.
The Canadian Journal of Medical Science
states, “ J hat Asthma and Bronchitis so preva
lent in this inclement climate, has yielded
with surprising rapidity to Ayer’s CHERRY
PEC'I ORAL, and we cannot too strongly rec
ommend tins skillful preparation to the Profes
sion and public generally.”
llatrford, Jan. 2u, 1850.
Dr J. C. Ayer—Dear Sir : Having been
rescued lr m a painful and dangerous disease
by your medicine, gratitude prompts me to
send you this acknowledgement, not only in
justice to you, but for the information of oth
ers In like affliction.
A slight cold upon the lungs, neglected n
first, became so severe, that spitting ot blood,
a violent cough and profuse night sweats, fol
lowed and fastened upon me. 1 became ema
ciated, could not sleep, was distressed by my
cough, and a pain through my chest, and in
-diort, had alt the alarming symptons ot quick
consumption. No medicine seemed at all to
reach my case until i providentially tried your
CHERRY PECTORAL, which soon relieved
and now has cured me.
Yours with respect. E. A. STEWART.
