ABORT BHANDRBTHtS PILLS AND
their effects.
A Vegetable and Universal Medicine, proved by
experience of thousands to be, when properly perse
vered with, a certain cure in every form of the Only
One Disease, ail having the same origin, and invari
ably arise from the UNIVERSAL ROOT of all
disease, namely, IMPURITY or IMPERFECT
circulation of (he BLOOD.
In a period of little m ire than three years in the
United States, they have restored to a state of health
and enjoyment over ONE HUNDRED THOUS
AND persons, who were given over as incurable by
Physicians of the first rank and standing, and in ma
ny cases where every other remedy had been resort
ed to in vain.
In all cases of Pain or Weakness, whether it be
chronic or recent, whether it be deafness or pain in the
side, whether it arise from constitutional or some im
mediate cause, whether it be from internal or externa!
injury, it will be cured by persevering in the use of
these Pills.
The great principle of ‘ PURGING’ is beginning
to be appreciated. It is found much more convenient
to take an occasional dose of half a dozen Pills, and
he always well, than to send for a Doctor and be bled,
blistered and salivated—with the certainty that if you
are not. ki led, you will be sure to hive months of mis
erable weakness, and the only one who is benefited is
your Doctor. Look at the difference between the ap
pearance of those two persons—one has been treated
by your regular practitioner—see how pale and debil
itated he is ; see how the shadow of death throws his
soli cry glance from emaciated his Countenancejsee how
he trembles in every limb ; his eyes sunk ; his teeth
destroyed ; his constitution, perhaps, irrecoverably
gone—yet, just hear how h • *rrogates to himself cred
it. He says, ‘ most inveterate case of liver complaint’
—■ nothing but the most energetic remedies saved
him.’ Energetic, measures ! i. e. Mercury and Bleed
ing ruined his constitution, better say. So to save
life you must half poison with that comforter of the
teeth and gums—MERCURY—and positively make
a man miserable the sad remainder of his existence ;
this is called curing. Shocking fo,!y.
Let us now look at your ‘ purged’ man — the man
who has taken Brandretli’s Pills for Liver Complaint
—lie has the firm, elastic tread of conscious strength,
his countenance is clear and serene, his eye is full and
sparkling with the feeling of new life and animation;
he has been confined a few days to his bed, but he
used nothing but the true Brandreth’s Pills,
and soon rose without any injury being sustained by
his constitution. Instead of being for months in a
weak sta'e, he will be stronger entirely
recovered fiom the attack; beeausehis blood and
lluitjj have become purified, and having purged away
:he old and impure fluids, the solids are thereby reno
vated, an J ho is not borne down By useless particles,
nut lias renewed his life and body both.
The principle of purging with Brandreth’s Pills re
moves nothing but tho useless and decayed particles
from the ho ly—the morbid and corrupt humors of the
blood; those humors which cause disease—they im
pede the functions of the liver when they settle upon
the muscles,produce rheumatism ; or, upon thenerves,
,i reduce gout; or upon the lungs, produce consump
tion ; or, upon the intestines, costiveness , or, upon
: he lining of the blood vessels, apoplexy and paralysis,
and all the train of disorders so melancholy to the
sufferer and all who behold them.
Yes, purging these humors from the body is the
lino cure for all these complaints, and every other
ibirn of disease ; this is no mere assertion, it is a
demonstrable truth, and eacli day it is extending it-*
seif; lar and wide it is becoming known, and more
and more appreciated.
The cure by purging may more depend upon the
laws which produce sweetness or purity than may be
generally imagined. Whatever tends to stagnate will
oroduce sickness, b cause it tends to putrefaction;
In i’ fore the necessity of constant exercise is seen.
When constant exercise cannot be used FROM
ANY CAUSE, the occasional use of Opening
Medicine is ABSOLUTELY required. Thus the
conduits of the Blood, the fountain of life, are
Kept free from those impurities which would prevent
its steady current ministering health. Thus, morbid
humors are prevented from becoming mixed with it.
It is nature which is thus assisted through the means
and outlets which she has provided for herself.

THE TALL YOUNG OYSTEKMAN.
BY o. w. holmes.
It was a tal! young oyesterman lived by the river side:
Ills shop was just upon the bank, his boat was oil the
tIUG.
The daughter of a fisherman, that was so straight ami
slim,
Lived over on the other bank right opposite to him.
It was the pensive ovsterman that saw the lovely maid,
Upon a moonlight evening, a-sitting in the shade ;
He saw her wave her handkerchief, as much as if to’
say,
“ I’in up to snuff, young ovsterman, and dad is gone
away.”
Then up arose the ovsterman, and to himself said he,
*• I guess I’ll leave the skifi’ at home, for fear thalfolks
sh iu and see:
I’ve read it in the story-book that for to kiss his dear—
Lcander swam the neliespont, and I will swim this
here
And he has leaped into the waves, and ha has cr-ssed
the stream,
And he has clambered up the bank, all in the moon
light g'eam ;
O there were kisses sweet as dew, and words as soft
as rain—
But they have heard her father’s step, and in he
leaps aga n !
Out spoke the ancient fisherman —“ O what was that,
my daughter,!”
*• ’T'.vtis nothing but a brickbat, sir, I chuck’d into the
water;”
“ And what is that there funny thing that paddles off
so fast ?”
“ It's nothing but a porpoise, sir, that’s been a swim
ming past.”
Out spoke the ancient fisherman—“ now bring me my
harpoon 1
I’ll get inso my fishing boat, and fix the fellow soon ;”
Down fell the lovely damsel, as fails a slaughter’d
lamb;
Her hair dropp’d round her pallid cheeks, like sea
weed on a clam.
Alas for those two loving ones ! she waked not from
her swound,
And he was taken with the cramp, and in the waves
was drown’d;
But Fa'e has metamorphosed them in pity of their wo,
And now they keep an oyster snopfor mermaids down
below.
THE LIGHT OF LO\ T E-
From anew volume , entitled “ The Indian Captive,”
andpth.tr Poems by Louisa Margaret Hull.
A pale, gray streak, from the eastern skies,
Broke through the gloom of night:
Slowly and dimly I watched it rise,
Till a radiant burst of light
Shot forth, from morning’s earliest beam,
O’er every hill and grove,
And looked, in its fair and brightening gleam,
Like the sunny light of Love !
The noontide sun, with fervent heat,
Streamed full on the blooming fiswers j
The tur was filled with odor sweet
That breathed from their perfumed bowers,
But anon a murmuring sound passed by,
Like the moan of the lovely dove;
And clouds obscured the bright blue sly
Like the changing light of Love.
A fair star rose in the shining w'est,
When evening’s shadows fell:
Far brightei if.-hone than all the rest,
O’t r moss and moor and dell.
I w atched it coursing its brilliant way
Through the dark, clear skies above;
And I thought it seemed, in its glorious ray,
Like the sunny light of Love.

THE TWO JCNOTS, OR TWICE NOOSED. )
On reading that a young man in Georgia,
named Barber, got married on the 20ih ull.
and shot himself on the 21st.
This, to the Homoeopathic plan,
Is like as brother is to brother ;
Since we behold a wise young man

ANECDOTE.
The stage was seen to drive up to the tav
ern of a village in the Stale of a short
time since, and being pretty eariv in the morn
ing, one of the passengers, after performing
his ablutions, took a stroll around the public
square. The villagers were pretty generally
awake and stirring, and a few were collected
at the market house, where the carcase of an
ox was about to be dissected pro bouo publico.
There was an old well by the market place,
which seemed to have been long disused, be
ing closed up at the top with boards, rails,
See. To this old well were seen to go two or
three of the villagers, at first peeping down
curiously, and exchanging mutual glances of
suspicion and fear; they were presently join
ed by others, who proceeded to take off a
plank or two from the covering, and very
shortly a crowd had collected, who with ea
ger looks and gestures were striving t© get a
peep into the old well. Some were seen to
turn very pale when a voice from the bottom
called out,
‘ Take ofFanother plank, up there, will you?
for it’s devilish dark down here.’
‘ Who is down there ?’ said one of the by
standers to his neighbor.
‘ Don’t know—ax him Jones.’
‘When did you get down there? who are
you ?’
‘ That’s a pretty question to ax a man,
when you know as well as I do; let down
the bucket, will you, and pull a body up ;
don’t you hear how my teeth’s chatterin’ with
the cold ?’
‘ There has’r.t been a bucket here, friend
this ten years, for the well’s been dry eleven.’
‘ That’s a bit of a scrouger,’ said the voice
in the well, ‘for I drawed a bucket fuil myself
yesterday evening, though it does seem to be
dry now.’
‘ It must be that some poor crazy man has
managed to fall down there without breaking
ins neck/ said an aldermanlike-looking per
sonage, with a round of beef hanging by a
hook in his I and. ‘ Wonder who it Can he ?’
‘ Why Squ re,’ said the butcher, how could
he git down there without raakin’ an openin’;
the well has been kivered over this ten year—
yes ten! for it was jist after Mike Harrigan
was missed, and never heered from after
wards, the well went dry, and how could he
a got down there ?’
‘ Bother your eves, up there, why don’t
i ye let the bucket down ; isn’t it meseif that’s
! froze inti rely ?’
1 Y< s. yes ! Billy, you run and get the lad
der at the end of the house ; and Sanderson
you send for your’n, and we’ll splice ’em;
one won't do.’
‘ Hallo! be qnick up there, for it’s shiver
in with the cold I am.’
‘ Wait a little, friend/ said t/ie squire, ‘in a
minute. How did you get down there?’
‘ Be the powers I fell down, if that’s wlat
ve’re alter askm’ rne ; ye’re not supposin’
such cold quartors are of my own sakin’r
Hurra up there/
1 Aye, aye, here comes the ladders/
‘How did you fall down there; and who
in the devil’s name are you ?’ said the butch
er-.’
‘He w did I! and who am I! why I wo:-1
drunk ; couldn’t puil the bucket to me after 1
drawed it up; so I kept its company down
here, and be d—d to it.’
4 Well, who are you ?’
‘Thunder and turf, don’t ye know my
spaclie ; u’s Mike Harrigin, to be sure !’
4 Mike Harrigan!’ exclaimed twenty fear
stricken voices at once— 1 it’s ten years since
Mike was missen.’
Here the village Doctor, with much im
portance in his manner, was seen talking in
a low tone to the tavern keeper, who had
likewise been attracted to the spot, about
‘cerebral inflammation,’ manifold cases of
somnolency, catalepsy, and other epsys, at ions ,
&c. ’till at length turning to the crowd, he
gave it to them as his opinion that the person
in the well was the veritable Mike Harrigan,
who had so mysteriously disappeared ten
years previously—‘and now, gentlemen,’said
he, ‘ you that have heretofore been so scep
tical, shall witness one of the triumphs of
medical science. I’ll just step to my shop and
order some revulsions to he in readiness, and
I’ll bring my instruments hack with me in the
twinkle of a pulse;’ and away the Doctor
scattered, leaving a host of pale and honor
stricken faces gazing ‘on space,’ in silent
wonder and amazement.
At length the ladders came —were lashed
and let down—the doctor returned with his
instruments—and now the question was who
should descend.
‘ Do you go down, Bob,’ was addressed to
a square built loafer who seemed to be the
most darng of the group.
‘No you don’t,’was the reply, ‘when it
comes to sperrits this infant aint there.’
After some persuasion, an old negro was
at length induced to descend ; but he quickly
reappeared, his eyes di.tended, and every
mark of horror and affright upon his counte
nance:
‘ Ki, nobody dar—nuts be de debbel fo’
true!’
The butcher swore he would ‘ see for him
self,’ and accompanied by two of the stoutest
hearted in the crowd, descended ; it was but
a short time ’till they returned, however,
climbing the ladder very rapidly, and with
haggard and disordered countenances, each
as soon as he reached the top, by a common
impulse streaked it towards his own home,
with all the power and strength he could put
into his heels.
‘ This is strange! very strange!’ they
murmured, ‘ What can it mean ?’ ‘Call down
to the man again, Squire!’
‘ Hallo, you, down there !’—there was no
answer.
‘ Call again.’
‘ Hallo 1 you!’ said the squire, in nervous,
trembling accents, the piece of beef uncon
sciously dropping from his hand, and no an
swer being returned, the doctor, when no one
else would venture down, boldly descended
alone. He returned, however, in a short time,
but not so rapidly as his precursors, and the
most visible and prominent emotion depicted
on Ids countenance was mortification.
‘Gentlemen,’ said he,’ ‘ there's nobody
down there,’ and he gathered up his ‘fixins
and cutout for his office.
After breakfast was over and the stage,
with its passengers, had left (he tavern, the
Doctor was seen very curiously peering over
the Register —* Humph,’ said he, compress
ing his lips when his eve had lit on a nnme>
‘ tool that I was—l must go down 100 ! I’—
continued he, speaking to himself-—‘l that
have studied the subject, written on it ! lec
tured on it! to beguiled along with all the
rest by that d — d ventriloquist Ken worthy.’
And sure enough it turned out, as was seen
by bills posted up in the next town the follow
ing day, that that erratic gentleman,Mr. Ken
worthy,had been taking a morning’s rehearsal
at the expense of the good citizens of the
aforementioned village.
THE TOWN DRUMMER.
For many a year, one Robin Ross had
been town drummer; he was a relic of some
American-war fencibies, and was, to say the!
God’s (ruth of nim, a divor bodie, with no
manner of conduct, saving a very earnest en- i
deavor to fill himself sou as often as he could !
get Use means; the consequence of which!
was, that his face was as plooky as a cur rah [
bun, and his nose as red as a partan’s tae. j
One afternoon there was a need to send out;
a proclamation to abolish a practice tint was:
growing a custom, in some of the by parts of j
the town, of keeping swine at iarge—ordering J
them to be confined in proper styes, and other
suitable places. As on all occasions when;
matter to be proclaimed was from ihemagis- .
trates, Robin, on this, was attended by the
town officers in there Sunday gaibi, a;id with
there halberts in their bands; but ‘he abom
inable and irreverent creature was so drunk,
that he wamblet to aim fro over th ■ chum,as
if there had not been a bane in his body—j
He was seemingly as simple and as senseless ■
as a holster. Still, as this was no new thing
with him, it might haye parsed ; for James
Hound, tlie senior officer, was in the practice,
when Robin was in ihat state, of reading the
proclamation himself. On this occasion, how- ,
ever, James happened to be absent on some
hue and cry quest, and another of tie officers
(I forgot which) was appointed to perform
for him. Robin, accustomed to James, no
sooner heard the oilier man begin to read, 1
than he began to curse and swear at him ns
an incapable nincompoop—an impertinent |
term that he was much addicted to. The:
gratnrner school was at. t!,e time skayling, and
the bovs seeing the stramash gathored round
the officer, and ye ding and shouting, encour
aged Robin mo r<; and more into rebellion, till :
at last they worked up his corruption to rush
a pitch, tha.f he took the drum fr >m about his’
neck, a;,d made it fly like a bombshell at the!
officer’s head.
The officers behaved very well, for they
dragged Rohm by the lug ami the horn to j
the tolboulh, and then came with their com
plaint to me. Seeing now the authorities had
been set at nought, and the necessity there:
was of making an example. 1 forthwith or
dered Robin to be cashiered from the service
of the town, and, as so important a concern!
as a proclamation ought not to he delate 1, I
likewise, upon the spot, ordered ihe officers:
to take a lad that had Iren also drummer in
a marching regiment, and go with him to!
make the proclamation.
| Nothing could be done in a more earnest
I and zealous public spirit than this was done
iby me. But habit had - beget in the town a
partiality for the drunken i.eerdo-weel Robin j
and this just act of mine was immediately
condemned as a daring 1 stretch of arbitrary
power ; and the consequence was, that when
the council met next day, some sharp words
flaw among us, as to my usurping an undue
authority, and the thanks I got for my pains
was the mortification to see the wothless body
restored to full power and dignity, with no
other reward than an admonition to behave
better for the future. Now, I leave it to the
unbiassed judgment of posterity to determine
il any public man could be more ungraciously
treated by his colleagues than I was on this
occasion.— Gait.
Epigrams. —An epigram should never be
extended to eight lines. Four lines ought to
be the tiepins ultra— if only two, so much the
better. Here is one uttered by an old gentle
man, whose daughter Arabella impo'rtuned
bun for money :
‘ Dear Bell, to gain money, sure silence is best,
For dumb bells are i'uest to open the chest.’
Another, on a lady wearing the miniature
of an unworthy person around her neck:
1 “ \V hat ! bang from the neck of a lady ?” cries Bill,
•• Were ever sucli folly and impudence known ? .
As to hanging, indeed, he may hang where lie will;
But as the neck, let it be by his own.’”
Another by Dr. Jenner, sent with a couple
of ducks to a patient:
4 I’ve dcspa’ched, dear Madam, this scrap of a letter,
To say *h*s Miss is very much better.
A regular doctor no longer she lacks :
And therefore I’ve sent her a couple of quacks.*
Another by a disconsolate husband upon
the death of bis wife:
‘ Two bones from my body have taken a trip,
I’ve buiied my rib, and got rid of my Hyp.’
And the other, by the friend of a gentle
man who was expecting the decease of his :
4 Brutus, unmoved, heard how his Portia fell,
Should Jack's wife die, he would behave as well!
Ei lends hip. —Friendship is a dangerous
word for young ladies; it is love full-fledged,
and waiting for a fine day to fly.
Bribery. —Do not blame a judge if he sells
justice. Ii is too rare a commodity to be
given away for nothing.
Ladies’ Fashions.— ln Connecticut, in for*
mer times, they had their hair tijed so tight
upon the back part of their heads, that it
drew their lips apart so much they could ot
get them sufficiently near together to kiss
their lovers, without loosing the cord.
Singer's Excuse. —A Jfamous musician who
hail made his fortune by marriage, being re-*
quested to sing in company, “permit me,”
said he, 44 to imitate the nightingale, who
never sings after lie has made his nest.”
Quarrels.— iwo things well considered
would prevent many quarrels; first, to have
it well ascertained whether we are not dis
puting about terms rather than things; and,
secondly, to examine whether that on which
we differ is worth contending about.
Prejudice. —A sick man being urged to
send lor a physician, replied—“No, I wish to
die a natural death.”
Speculation in Chicago. —‘ I sav,’ said one
Chicago man to another, 4 what did von give
for your portrait?’ ‘ Twenty-five dollars—
and have been offered fifty.” *
The Age.—' They say that every age has
its ruling vice; I think impatience is that of
the present; we live in such a hurry we have
not time to be sorry.
•Advice. —Let those who would counsel thd
.voung, remember that it is easy to pluck the
flower open, but impossible to close it again.
The Philadelphia Ledger, speaking oF
Gieenviie Mellon as the author of a Tempe
rance Ode, calls him a / Eater Melon.
Napoleon aud Music. —When he was cross
he walked about with his hands behind him;
humming a tune as falsely as possible, and
then few dared approach/ 4 If you have any
thing to ask of the general,’ said Junot to M.
Arnault, one day, 4 1 advise you not to go
near him just now, for he is singing. 5
Taste.— A correct taste is ever the con
comitant oi a chaste mind ; lor, as a celebra
ted author has justly observed, 4 our taste
commonly declines with our merit. 5 A cor
rect taste is the offspring of all that is delicate
in sentiment and just in conception; it soft
ens the inflexibility of truth arid decks reason
in the most persuasive garments.
Charles the pretender.— The battle of Cul
loden, m which the Guelphs, under William
Duke of Cumberland, defeated the last of the
Stuarts, took place in April, 1745, near In
verness. Nearly three thousand of the Scots
were killed on tne field, or barbarously
slaughtered afterwards in the pursuit, while
the executioner made terrible examples of
many others. Prince Charles, after wander
ing as a fugitive, and experiencing many ro
mantic adventures, escaped to Prance, and
died at Rome, in 178S.
Fatality nf Fashions. — lt is a startling fact
that human life is shorter in New England
now than it was fifty years ago. T lie re are
diseases now which were hardly known then;
and which bring thousands lo\a premature
grave. Wliat is the cause of all this? Has
our climate essentially changed r No —unless
it be tor the better. The cause is to be found,
doubtless, in the corrupting fashions of the
times, which regulate the food arid the dress
of the people, and which make idleness more
respectable than honest sturdy industry. We
deprecate these fashions; they are rapidly
leading us, as a people, to those excesses
which have proved the ruin of other and
earlier nations. It is time this subject were
looked into with as much solicitude and care
a< politicians look for the causes of civil liber
ty and the public good.
I i olden times—in the days of the revolu
tion -when sons worked willingly in the fo
rests and ihe fields, and partook oi’ the simple
b it substantial fareol their own farms; when
daugnters wore tirck shoes, loose gowns, and
labored at the spinning-wheel arid loom, such
aw ases as consumption and dyspepsia were
seldom or never known. Doctors were rare
acquaintances then. But, now, if a voung
man would appear respectable, he must carry
a green bag to court rather tnan a bag to
m:il; he must wield a yard stick rather than
a hoc or shove! ; and, as fbr young ladies—
alas!—their shoes must he of kid thin a9
wafers; tiieir chests must be pent up in cor
sets as closely as a Chinese foot, and tfieir
time must Ire spent iu spinning street-yarn,
thrumiug the piano forte, or discoursing sen
timental songs. All these fashions are pre-.
judicial to human life and health. Oh, that
fashion would ever take the right direction,
and go upon the maxim of sanctioning noth
ing which interferes with the laws of health;
tlren would the hopes of our country brighten,-
and individuils would enjoy an amount ot
| comfort which is now too wiffingly hi t blind
ly sacrificed in false ta*V.--.Maine Cultivator.
