A Bachelor's Reverie at the Age of Fifty
Fifty to-day! Fifty; little chance now of my
having a wife and a house full of “little res
ponsibilities,” as Fanny Wright calls them.
Heigho! I'm getting to be—not a middle-aged
gentleman, lor I have been that any time the
last ten years—no, Fm a gentleman declining
in years, and may advertise for a housekeeper
without giving a handle to scandal to make
free with my character. Twenty-five years
ago, and I should have affronted the man who
foretold this; that I should be sitting this day
in an arm-chair, newspaper in hand, breakfast
before me, foot on a cushion, and only one cup
and two eggs on the table. Newspapers are
stupid things; I’d much rather chat over my
morning meal. Why the deuce am I not mar
ried! Nobody makes tea fit to drink now, and
the tea never comes up to me hot. What
< ipital tea Lucy Smith used to make. Poor
Lucy; I wonder what made me think of her?
People said Lucy and I would certainly make
a match, and so we should, I suspect, if it
hadn't been for that cursed cousin of hers. I’m
sure she would have married me if I had asked
her; but I kept putting it off day after day,
Sand he cut me out, and be hanged to him. I
was a young gentleman, then, and thought I
could marry whenever I liked. They went
\ away to the West and got rich; he’s a member
\of Congress, and she has grown fat, and rides
about in her carriage, with two or three grown
lip daughters—<pretty girls, too, I am told, but
biey will never be like their mother. I’ve a
tjbbon of her’s, that she used to wear around
SeKslender waist, and I bribed her brother to
stea it for me, with the loan of my fowling
when it rains, and I feel sentimental
I takeSt out of my writing desk and look at
it awhile. I think I will throw it into the fire
—but 1 don’t though, and there it is yet in the
secret drawer of my mother’s picture, with the
last lock of my own hair. They make capital
whigs now, by the way; nobody seems to sus
pect that my curls are not of the natural crop.
Lucy used to say my hair was beautiful, and
fe: I’m almost certain she cut off a lock once,
W when I was asleep on the sofa. I wonder
f whether she has lost any of her splendid teeth;
mine have sood it pretty well, but they are
going. Parmly the dentist, said hers would
last a long time, and he ought to know. I
must go and get him to make me a couple of
new ones.
What shall Ido with myself to-day! I’ve
( given up business and made money enough to
las' me my time. I’ve no one to leave it to
when I’m gone. Where’s the use of going
on adding dollar to dollar, unless one has
children to set up? Nine marriages in the
paper to-day! Nine husbands and nine
wives created since yesterday morning. I
dare say they'll all have young sprouts-r-say
four apiece on the average ; that’s thirty-six
little mouths to be stuffed with bread and
butter, and seventy-two feet to buy shoes for,
and two hundred and eighty little fingers to
wash and keep clean ! No fool of a job that
for the nine papas and mammas ? I was al
ways fond of children.
There is a new married couple moved into
the house over the way, on purpose to plague
me, I do believe ; they seem to be very fond
of each other, and happy. There’s a gig
comes to the door every afternoon, and he i
hands his wife so carefully, and she smiles at
him so brightly as they drive off, but I’m
almost tempted to wish they might break
their necks before they get back. That’s a
nice looking girl that has come to stay with
them during the honeymoon ; she’s the bride’s
sister or something, I dare say; the prettiest
foot and the most rogueish eyes I’ve ever seen
—except Lucy Smith’s. I wonder if she’s
engaged to be married ; I don’t see any very
suspicious looking young man come to the
door, and ——. Put what the deuce is it to
me whether she is or not? I’m an old
bachelor, and must go down to the grave
without leaving anybody to cry for me.—
I should like though to see the girl nearer;
its easy enough to get introduced into the
house, and though I’m too old to marry,
there’s no reason that I know of why an old
fellow like me should’nt do the polite thing
to a new comer into the neighborhood. I’ve
a new coat coming home, that my artist says
will make me look fifteen years younger—
rather impertinent by the way. And I’m not
so amazingly old after all. When I sat down
to breakfast, I felt rather bluish and thought
myself quite a Methuselah. Poh, no such
thing. I can walk as briskly as ever—almost
—I can ride, sing, dan—,no, I’d better leave
out the dancing; but what of that? I’m a good
looking, middle-aped man, tired of living
alone, and hang me but I’ll make one more
try for the ring, if I die for it. There’s a
pretty girl over the way, and I’ll send over a
basket ofgrapes with my compliments.
Southern Resources. —The Southern States
are in a great degree independent of national
legislation. Post-office facilities constitute
the extent of our dependence upon Congres
sional legislation. We have no navy yards,
forts or armories—no vast constructions—no
lines of steamers—no collecting or transfers
of public revenues—no hordes of office-hold
ers —no government bounties, under the shape
of revenue laws or navigation acts, to require
the constant care of Congress Our posses
sions of these descriptions might all be taken
away, and we should be in a great measure
ignorant and indifferent.
This is not the case at the North. The
meeting of Congress is a subject of great in
terest there, and projectors of every descrip
tion are constantly in attendance upon it. The
Committee of Ways and Means and Com
merce and Claims, fill a very large space in
the eyes of that portion of the country. The
appropriation bill is read with as much anxie
ty as the last accounts from the markets cf
Europe.
The delays in what is called public busi
ness—that is to say, in furnishing carcasses to
the condors that prey upon the public reve
nue—contribute very much to the spirit of
conciliation —maledictions on California, ne
groes, abolitionists, &e. &c.; and prayers for
brotherly love and conciliation come up from
quarters which were quite redolent with sar
casms on Southern arrogance and the slave
power. “ Let us settle the cursed questions,”
is heard from mouths whose masters have
made their entire political estate in fostering
agitation and inveighing against the sin and
crime of slavery. The English language is
now searched for epithets to bestow upon the
man or men who have their eyes open to the
effect of the measures before Congress, and
who pause in yielding the requisite amount
of submissiveness.
There is no degree of parvitude that is not
magnified into grandeur, if accompanied with
the spirit. Foote and Houston become heroes
with these people, while the illustrious sta'es
men o! the Southern States, Calhoun, Mason,
Hunter, and Butler, are denounced as dis
unionists and traitors. These things are be
coming understood I trust in the South, and
the remedy will be applied.
The absence of organization, which was
painfully apparent a few weeks since, contin
ues, but I do not doubt that before this Con
gress adjourns the Southern members who do
not look to the Federal Government for pa
tronage and preferment, will stand together,
no matter what havoc is made by it in exist
ing party arrangements. It is to this Union
that I look forward for an honorable adjust
ment of the questions. These will be the
true pacificators of the country.— Washington

WEEKLY CONSTITUTIONALIST.
BY JAMES GARDNER, Jr.]
Northern and Southern Butter. —The
question is often asked, (says the Agricultural
Editor of the Columbus Enquirer,) why we
cannot make as good Butter South as they
do North, and why our Butter is so white
and tasteless, more resembling Lard than the
rich golden Butter of Goshen. The question
is easily answered. We do not take the pains
in the operations of Butter making that the
less favored farmers of the North do. Most
persons think that the whole art of Butter 1
making is simply the act of stirring up the !
milk so as to separate the butterous particles
from the water, and when the grains float
upon the top, the Butter is made ; these peo
ple would scorn the idea of being taught how
to make Butter. Why, say they, we were
raised upon the farm, and have churned from 1
infancy. Take the average price of country I
Butter in the Columbus market, and it will |
be about twelve and a half cents per pound,
when a good article will bs readily command
twenty five cents. Now we know itis as easy
to make good Butter here, as in any country
under Heaven. We have seen neighbors
whose cows came from the same stock, and
fed with the same range, one could hardly
dispose of his Butter at any price, whilst the
other found no difficulty in disposing of his
at an advance upon the best Northern Butter.
Why is this great disparity ? We will tell.
the good housewife the reason ; they do not
give the Butter their own personal attention.
The greatest cleanliness is necessary in all the
operations of Butter making ; it is not enough
that the milk vessels are washed, they must
be scalded, sunned and aired. By following
the few simple directions here given, the piney
woods farmer may turn out as yellow, sweet,
good butter as those of Goshen or any other
country. When the milk is brought from
the cow pen, boiling water should be provided
to scald the pans whieh are to hold the milk,
strain the water into the pans as hot as the
boiling water can make them, as soon as the
milk has turned, churn it.
Never place the churn in the sun, nor add
warm water to the milk to force the Butter to
come quick, this may hasten the coming of
the Butter, but it destroys that rich yellow 1
cast which it will be sure to have if churned
cool. When the Batter has properly come,
take it up and wash it in clear cool water, as
long as any milk can be got from it, now salt
it with good clean rock salt, (Liverpool salt 1
will ruin Butter, it has a tendency to soften it I
instead of hardening it) working it over as
long as a drop of milk can be got from it, then
place it away in a cool place the overnight ;
in the morning work it again, and continue j
the working until the pure chrystal globules
appear upon the Butter, it is butter indeed,
and may be sent to any market with a full
confidence of the highest market price. It is
no doubt the system of churning in this sec
tion which destroys much of the Butter. The
above plan, with patience and perseverance,
will make as fine Butter as can be made in the
world.

LOBELIA AND PEPPER.
DR. DENNIS has on Ijand a large quantity,
as pure as can be obtained. They are now
being used by the most learned and succesful phy
sicians in the United States. What has been said
against them in the most of Medical books, is posi
tively erroneous.
The LOBELIA is a superior medif.inc in all
cases of Fevers, diseases of the Lungs, Liver.
Stomach, the most dangerous cases of Poisons, In
flammation, &c., either external or internal, with
Slippery Elm or Flax-seed, it is excellent for
Poultices.
It may be safely used in all cases in which the
disease indicates the use of Emetics, but is more
effectual combined with Pepper, or some other
stimulant. In epidemics, as Sore Throat. Scarlet
Fever, Pneumonia, and other diseases terminating
fatally, these Medicines should be freely used, not
as the last resort, but at the commencement of the
disease. What makes them of great value isthey
act upon the rational principle of removing the
came of disease, without injuring the constitution
—then nature aided by appropriate and mild
means \» hich effects the cure.

“James C. Ayer—Sir: I have used your ‘Cher

Bronchitis, and am satisfied from its chemical con
stitution that it is an admirable compound for the >
relief of laryngial and brouchical difficulties. If I
my opinion as to its superior character can be of I
any service, you are at liberty to use it as you think I
proper. EDW. HITCHCOCK, L. L. D,

“AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL is one of
the most valuable preparations that has fallen un

“TRUTH Id STRANGER THAN FICTION.”
The attention of the reader is called to the following
astonishing cure, effected by the use of Sands’ Sarsapa
rilla.
This is to certify that I have a colored woman who
has been afflicted for the last five years with Scrofula,
and all the remedies I used had no effect in arres:ingthe
progress of the complaint; on the contrary, she con
stantly giew worse ; and after expending between S7O
and SBO with physicians, besides using other popular
remedies without success, till the disease had eaten
away the cartillage of her nose, made its appearance on
various parts of her body, and had finally commenced
its ravages in the roof of her mouth.
In this dreadful situation, with the prospect of death
staring her in the face, I staled her case to Dr. Disosway
the agent for Sands’ Sarsaparilla in Newbem, N. 0., by
whom I was advised to use that article ; and to iny sur
prise and that of my neighbors, to whom her case was
known, after using four and a half bottles she was re
stored to perfect health, and in the space of three weeks,
and was able to work in two weeks from the lime she
commenced taking it.
In witiiessof the truth of this statement, I have here
unto affixed my name, this I9tii day of Sept., 1847.

SORE THROAT.
The following is an extract from a letter received from
Mrs. Bevan, who had been afflicted several years with
Scrofulous Ulcers, Dyspepsia, &.C., and recently an af
fection of tlie throat and chest.
Bailevsburg, Va., Dec. 13, 1845.
Messrs. A B. St D. Sands: Before I commenced using
yc-.r Sarsaparilla, my sufferings were almost past ex
pression ; my throat was completely ulcerated, I had a
dreadful cough, and there were frequently weeks to
gether that I could not speak above a whisper; and be
sides, tile inflammation from my throat extended to my
head, so that my hearing was very much impaired. Af
ter taking the Sarsaparilla a short time, my health im
proved, and my throat is now well; lam as free from
cough and tightness of the chest as ever I was, and can
hear quite distinctly. My throat has been well about
three months, the cure ot which has been effected en
tirely by the use of vour Sarsaparilla.
Your friend, LOUISA R. BEVAN.
The following testimonial to the value of the Sarsapa
rilla, is from the Rev. Luther Wright, aged 76 years, Con
gregational Minister, residing at Woburn.
Woburn, Mass., March 30th, 1846.
Messrs. Sands : Gentlemen—From what I have expe
rienced, and from the inloriiiation I have recently re
ceived from a number of persons of high respectability
who have used your Sarsaparilla, I have not the least
doubt but that it is a most valuable medicine, and that
the numerous certificates that you have received of its
efficacy are fully sustained by experience, and although
its reputation and utility are very extensive, and stand
in no need of my humble efforts to increase them, I
want all who are afflicted by disease to become acquaint
ed with the efficacy aud power of your valuable medi
cine.
I am, gentlemen, gratefully and very respectfully
yours, LUTHER WRIGHT.

For the cure of Consumption , and all diseases of
the Lungs and Breast.
THIS GREAT REMEDY has not only
made almost incredible cures of Consump
tion, but it breaks up the most distressing Cough,
Cold, Pain in the Breast and Asthma, in a few hours
time. We authorize our Agents, in ail cases where
it does not give immediate relief, and the bottle is
returned, to cheerfully refund the money.
We will now ask the afflicted candidly to ex
amine the facts bidow, which substantiate the
meiitsof this grea remedy. Facts which are in
controvertible, and cannot be denied. We refer
you to the statements of well-known Physicians
and Professors, who have come forward and have
übstantiated these facts. The most incredulous
i cannot but be convinced that it has made cures
where every thing else lias tailed.
Extracts from Certificates which can be seen in
fuli by calling upon the Agents.
Mr. A. 1.. Scovill: Having been afflicted with a
most distressing Cough, until my Lungs became
affected to such a degree, that I was continual
ly spitting blood; and being under the care
of au able physician, withoutrpbtaining relief, un
-1 procured a bottle of Dr. Roger*’ Liverwort
and Tar, which restored me to health in a very
short time. j. FINCH.

From the Hon. Judge William Burke, late Post
master of Cincinnati for more than 20 years.
The statement of Justice Finch is ent tied to
the fullest confidence of the public. I can fully
corroborate what he has said, having used :he me
d'eine myseii with the most decided benefit.

A REMARKABLE CURE OF CONSUMP
TION.
Mr. Scovill : I was taken with a most distress
ing cough, and my lungs became so diseased that
1 bled in a short time, several quarts. 1 was re
duced so low that all of my friends, and even my
Physicians, thought I must die with Consumpt.on!
My brother hearing of the remarkable cures made
by Dr. Rogers’ Liverwort and Tar, procured a
bottle, and before I had taken one-half of it, if
seemed to go to the very seat of the disease. I raised
a large quantity of phlegm and matter, and mv
cough was stopped as by a charm. And by its use
I was restored to perfect health.

NAILS, AND MY LUNGS ULCERATED BOTH EXTER

called in a celebrated Lung Doctor, who said that
there was no hope of my recovering. Some of my
friends called in to take their last leave!!—
With alaint hope I now commenced taking Dr.
Rogers' Liverwort and Tar—and what a happy
change. I now enjoy better health than I have
since 1 was fourteen years of age, and have gained

Extraordinary Success.
Cutaneous affections known as scald head, old
or obstinate tetters, and some others are extreme
ly difficult to cure—indeed, arc incurable by most
of the preparations physicians oidinarily pre
scribe.
From Dooly county, an extraordinary case has
been given of a man who has had a chronic tetter
upon the chin and lower lip for 15 years, that had
resisted every thing—which has been recently
cured by Dr. Little’s Ringworm and Tetter Oint
ment. It lias been perfectly well lor leverai
months, and lor years previous, thought to be in- -a
curab.e.

It has been a source of much annoyance to
sicians, that no remedy has been devised for tl>9v|H
prompt cure of Chronic diseases of the kidneysJiT
and bladder, and venereal (lections
To a very great extent, and far in advance of any |* j-ij
remedy ol the day, this has been accomplished by/ ■
the introduction of the French Mixture. It is n&jfM v
only a safe, but invaluable medicine, recently in-TX
troduced for the cure of this disease in its various
forms. -yWM H
For the purpose of adapting the remedy to alftjflß
the forms of the disease, and to the various
lia ities of the constitution, it has been found t
cessary to use the medicine as modified in
forms ol No. 1 and 2. The first for the
stage, and No 2 in the chron.c foi in of the disease^!
It is in the latter form (Blennterhoea) that so
difficulty has been experienced in curing it,
which is by far the most common.
For the cure of Flour Albus and kidney
plaints, a bottle of No. 2 of this medicine is
ereign remedy, as a day or two’s use will prove.
In submitting this medicine to the test of
scrutiny, I have no fear for the result.
ot cases have been cured by it, and even in
and disipated subjects the cure has often been
prompt and effectual.
No doubt, if taken as directed, it will promptly
cure the most, if not all ot those old and almost -1
deserted cases, thought to be incurable, its pre
eminent success bus been achieved mostly in cases
of this kind, whilst in all stages of the disease the
effect has been unequaied.

BROWN’S ESSENCE OP JAMAICA

Prepared only by Frederick Brown, at his Drug ■ ]
and Chemical Store, northeast corner of
Fifth and Chestnut-sis., Phil. J
THIS ESSENCE is a preparation of unu
sual excellence and of varid properties. In
all cases where a powerful and safe stimulant
required, it is unrivalled lor efficacy as well as imdfl
mediate action. To the traveller and to the fanjH
ly circle it is invaluable, as a few drops dilutedjfl
sugar and water present a safe
niedy to the invalid who requires immediate re -
lief, as well as to the convalescing patient who
needs a gentle tonic. In a Southern climate, where
the relaxation ot the system so generally induces
thirst for stimulants, it will always be found an ex
cellent substitute for those tempting beverages
which debilitate the stomach, and cause a morbid
condition of its powers. In dyspepsia, in relaxa- -a
tion of the bowels, in nausea and sea-sickness, it *{
is an active and safe as well as a pleasant and re
freshing remedy, and is piescribed by the most
eminent of the medical faculty.
