BY JAMES GARDNER, JR.
Two brokers, A and B, were travelling together
and, during the journey, traded in stocks, in
which operation A shaved B enormously. One
morning, after B had become conscious oi his
singeing, he told A|he had ajremarkable vision du
ring the night. ‘‘lndeed,” siys A, “what was
it?” “Why,” replied B, “I dreamed that I was j
dead, and was cast into the dominions of the
Evil One—the Black Spirit considered my case,
and assigned me a position in a very warm cor
ner of his dominions. Others of our acquain
tance and profe-sion, I saw present, and heard
doomed to various degrees of suffering: the docket
was nearly cleared, when an unusual bustle was
manifested by the attending fiends, and upon
looking up, I saw one of them lead you in and j
heard him announce your name to the cloven
footed chief, and relate a brief sketch of your
character. The judge seemed puzzled what to
do with you he ordered, the fiend in whose charge
you was, to repeat a portion of your history,
when after looking with an unsatisfied gaze into
some of the deepest pits around him, Satan sud
denly rose, and with an air of great deference,
said, “Mr. A, you may take my chair. Boston
Pott.
When the Due de Choiseul, a remarkably
meagre man came to London to negotiate a peace,
Charies Townsend, being asked whether the j
French Government had sent the preliminaries j
of a treaty, replied, “ He did not know, but they j
had sent the outline of an ambassador.”
How THEY PRESERVE ORDER IN AUSTRIA.— j
The Vienna correspondent of the London News j
describes the following shocking affair as having ;
taken place at Szent Maria, near Gross-Wara
dried, lately:
“ At a peasant’s wedding, when the procession ;
of the betrothed was moving towards the church, j
the gendarme approached the bride and sum- ,
moiled her immediately to divest herself of the •
red, white and green ribbons which she had in j
her dress, according to the customs of the coun- j
try girls, saying that these colors were revolu
tionary. The bridegroom objected, saying that !
after the ceremony the bride would comply with j
the desire ol the gendarme, but that now they \
could not keep the priest waiting at the altar.— |
The gendarme retired, the procession proceeded
to the church, but at the moment when the
bride was kneeling at the steps of the altar to re- j
ceive the benediction, the gendarme rushed :
forward and cut her tresses and ribbons, with !
scissors, from her head. In Hungary it is con-!
sidered a great insult to a female to cut her hair; '
it conveys the notion of infamy. Naturally an !
affray took place; the gendarme was assailed by
the bridegroom; other gendarmes arrived in aid
of their fellow-official. The people, though
without arms, rushed upon them, and the result
was the slaughter of seven men, three gendarmes >
and four peasants, among them the bridegroom .
and the brutal assailant of the bride.”
A Promise. —A promise should be given with j
caution and kept with care. A promise
should be made by the heart, and remembered
by the head. A promise is the offspring of in
tention, and should be nurtured by recollection. !
A promise and its performance should, like the 1
scales of a true balance, always present a mutual
adjustment. A promise delayed is justice defer- .
cd. A promise neglected is an untruth told. A
promise attended to is a debt paid.
Sai.lie St. Clair.— Sallie St. Clair was a
beautiful,darke-eyed Creole girl. The whole
of her iove was lavished upon Sergeant Jasper,
who on one occasion, had the good fortune to j
save her life. The prospect of their separation |
almost maddened her. To sever her long jetty
ringlets from her exquisite head, to dress in
male attire, to enroll herself in the corps to I
which he belonged, and to follow his fortunes
in the wars, unknown to him, was a resolution
no sooner conceived than taken. In the camp
she attracted no particular attention, except on :
the night before the battle, when she was notic
ed bending over his couch, like a good and gentle j
spirit, as if listening to his dreams. The camp
was surprised and a fierce conflict ensued. The
lovers were side by side in the thickest of the 1
fight; but, endeavoring to turn away a lance i
aimed at the heartof Jasper, the poor girl receiv- j
ed it in her own, and fell bleeding at his feet. '
After the victory, her name and sex were dis
covered. and there was not a dry eye in the corps
when Sallie St. Clair was laid in her grave, near
the river Santee,in a green shady nook that look
ed as if it had been stolen out of Paradise.
Editorial Courtesies. —The editors of the
Indianapolis Sentinel and the Journal are sworn
foes. The Sentinel threw the last brick thus:
“The above is a lie, and the author, John D.
Defrees, a liar. Let him wear the brand like a
coward, or resent it like a gentleman.” The ;
Journal responds. “We are asked to resent the j
courteous language appled to us ‘like a gentle- :
man.’ Now, we would like to know what the '
editor would consider ‘like a gentleman;’ and, j
should he determine it to be that we should
kick him through our streets, (if we could find
a pair of boots that would not be disgraced in '
coming in contact with him,) we should certain- j
ly undertake the employment. Will the editor ]
so decide?’ Matters are decidedly interesting at
Indanapolis. A “crisis” is not far off.
Legal Examination. —W. G. Tobin’was ar
rested in this city on Sunday evening, upon a
charge, founded upon a telegraphic communica
tion and a letter, that he had been concerned in
the murder of one Mr. McDaniel, of Barnwell,
South Carolina. Being brought up by Habeas
Corpus before the Judges of the Inferior, Court, I
he w'as discharged—there being no legal cause of
imprisonment.— Savannah Republican, 25 th init.
Worth Knowing. —A young lady of this city, ;
while in the country some years ago, stepped j
on a rusty nail, which ran through her shoe and
foot. The inflammation and pain were of course
very great and lock-jaw was apprehended. A ,
friend of the family, however, recommended the j
application of a beat, taken fresh from the garden
and pounded fine, to the wound. It was done, j
and the effect was very beneficial. Soon the
inflammation began to subside, and by keeping j
on the crushed beet, changing it for a fresh one
as its virtue seemed to become impaired, a spee- j
dy cure was effected. Simple but effectual rem
edies like this should be known by every body
An exchange defines meanness thus:—Steal
ing the reading of a paper and then grumbling
at its contents. It is next to changing a man's
politics for the sake of keeping an office.
A curious and laughable exhibition at the
London Fair, is a bedstead containing a spring
in a matras, which being set at a certain hour,
wakes the sleeper, by turning him strait over on
the floor.
A man met an old woman in an English town
driving several asses. “Adieu, mother of Asses,’
cried he. ‘Adieu, my son,’ w‘as the old crone’s
reply. The fellow went his way feeling for his
ears.
Barn Burnt. —We gregret to learn that the
barn on the farm of Dr. I. P. Garvin, near the
city, with all its contents, was consumed yester
day afternoon, by fire. In it was stored his en
tire crop of fodder and a large portion of his corn
crop, which had just been gathered. We did not
learn how the fire originated.— Chronicle of ves-

THE Rev. James Perryman, a Baptist Clergy
man, who is extensively known in Georgia,
states thus:
Talbot County, June, 1848.
Dr. Little, Dear Sir: Having boon so much bon
efitted by your medicines, I will cheerfully state the
case. For years past I havo been badly dyspeptic,
such as tightness and oppression after meals, acidi
ty of the stomach, debility, want of digestion, Ac.
In this state many articles of food were obliged to
be avoided, to say nothing of tho languor and
wretchedness often experienced any way. It was
about under thoso circumstances, I began using
your Antacid Vegetable Pills and Tonic Bitters;
Tery soon I found much reliof, with quito an im
provement of health. The medicines I continued
with tho greatest advantage, particularly tho Anta
cid, finding it always to givo quick relief, and to
promote digestion I had not taken them long, bo
fore I could use any kind of food I choso with im
punity, even cabbage, and other things heretofore
inadmissible. For many months past (since taking
tho modicino) I havo onjoyed good health, which
has not been tho caso for years bofore. Thoso of
my friends and acquaintance similarly afflicted, I
would advise to try these Dyspeptic medicines.
Yours truly,
(Signed) James Perryman.

Conway, Mass. July 14, 1851.
Messrs. Rolf, StoarnsA Co., successors to C. Rich
A Co., 146 Water street, Now York:—Gentlemen—
To your inquiries respecting tho fato of tho Sala
mander Safo, No. 3,381, purchased of you through
Mossrs. Wm. Bryco A Co., it is perhaps sufficient to
say, that I am at present writing on paper which
was in tho Safo at tho time of tho destruction of our
manufactory by firo, on tho morning of tho 27th
inst. Tho Safe was on tho lower floor of a throo
story building, containing considerable quantities of
seasoned beach timber, and it was at a red heat
when it foil into a bed of live hard wood coals, in
which it remained imbedded about throo hours,
whon it was drawn out, and, as soon as practicable,
oponod. Tho loather bindings of tho books wore
heated by tho steam, and sumo of tho loose papers
wore somowhut stained; but not a single partilo of
paper in any book was injured, and not a single
mark on any looso paper, whether mado by a pen
«r pencil, is defaced. Wo consider tho Safe in
question as having passed through ono of tho so
vorest test to which it could have boon put, and wo
nood not assure you teat wo rejoice at its succoss.
Wo will forward you tho burnt Safo, and in tho
moantime, send us another of tho samo sizo and
pattern, for immediate uso.
Yonrs, respectfully.

This preparation has now borne the test of over 14
years experience, since its first introduction to public fa
vor, during which time numerous imitations have sprung
into existence, founding their claims to the confidence
of the community on the curative powers contained in
Sarsaparilla Root, the great reputation and extended use
of which has been mainly attributable to the many
wonderful cures effected by the use of this preparation.
While Sarsaparilla Root forms an important part of its
combination, it is, at the same time, compounded with
other vegetable remedies of great power, and it is in the
peculiar combination and scientific manner of its prepa
ration, that its remarkable success in the cure of disea**
depends. Other preparations imitate it in the style of
putting up, and bearing the name of one of its ingredi
ents. and hero ends their resemblance to it. Those
needing a remedy and purifier like this, are requested to
note where this difference exists, and in making choice of
what they will use, not to take any other but that one
entitled to their confidence, from the long list of cures
it has effected on living witnesses, whose testimonials
and residences have been published, and who are still
bearing daily testimony to its worth . The whole histo
ry of medicine has scarcely furnished a parallel to the
numerous and remarkable cures effected by its use, and
what it has effected once it can effect again.
FROM KENTUCKY.
Inflammatory Rheumatism Gured.
BARDBTOWN. Kt., July 10, 1849.
Messrs. Sands —Gentlemen: It is my duty to commu
nicate facts in relation to the beneficial effects of your
Sarsaparilla. My wife was afflicted with inflamn.totion
and soreness of the stomach of the worst character; her
limbs and chest were much swollen; she bad constant
headache, and last spring was attacked severely with :r**
fiammatory rheumatism. The best medical aid we could
obtain afforded only momentary relief; and while in this
situation, she heard of the many remarkable cures ef
fected by the use of Sands’ Sarsaparilla, and commenced
its use, which produced instant relief, and less than six
bottles entirely removed all the dropsical swelling and
every other inflammatory sympton, restoring her •»per
fect health. I send this statement as an act of justice,
believing it to be my duty to encourage the suffering
portion of the human family to use Sand's Sarsaparilla,
which I believe has no parallel in the catalogue of me
dicine. With feelings of lasting gratitude, I remain
your friend. SAMUEL P. HARGER.
Read the following from
New-Orleans, Nov. 12,1849.
Messrs. Sands —Gentlemen: I take the liberty of
sending you a letter which may be of importance to
those who are suffering as 1 have done. I received great
benefit from your Sarsaparilla, having been cured of a
malady after suffering six years. I hereby cheerfully
certify to the good effect of your medicine, and I hojMi
God will reward you for all the good you have done. A
chronic cough had tormented me day and night, and re
peated attacks of fever induced me to believe that I
should die with Consumption. One day,/ hile suffering
a violent attack of burning fever, a friend >ersuaded me
to try your incomparable medicine, but tot *ll the truth,
I had uo confidence in it. I finally purcha ted a bottle,
and by its use and the help of God, I was restored to
better health than 1 had enjoyed for six years. I can
not but Mem the author of this admirable medicine.
With great respect, I am, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
FERMIN GROUPAZ.
“ Truth is stranger than fiction
New Durham, N. J.. June 30,1849.
Messrs. Sands —Gentlemen: My wife suffered with a
distress and buruing in hei chest for many years, and
my daughter was afflicted from her birth with a humor
in her blood. We consulted various physicians, and
tried numerous remedies, without much benefit, until
we heard, through Rev. Thomas Davis, of the great me
dicinal value of Sands’ Sarsaparilla. On his recom
mendation my wife and daughter decided on trying it,
and soon experienced permanent benefit. My daughter'a
skin assumed a new appearance entirely; from being
rough, hard and scaly, it became smooth and soft. My
wife's sufferings are almost gone, and its use a short
time longer, it is my firm belief, will produce a perfect
cure. Yours, with respect,
