THE WRONG LETTER.
The following ludicrous incident in
‘Dandy Nat's Courtship,’ is a warning
to absent-minded, love sirkswuins to
beware that they have nothing but
the right letter in their wai&tcoal pocket
when they tender the missives of Cupid
to their ladyUoves: •
Having finished bis elaborate verses.
Dandy Nat folded t lie note carefully,
and sticking it into the pocket of his sprig
pattern vest, after a careful toilette, sal
lied forth to visit the fair milliner. Mas
ry, herself, opened the door, and with n
smiling and blushing countenance, invi
ted the visitor to enter. Nat stammered
out something intended for a greeting, !
and followed her into the parlor, treading
on the tail of a slumbering cat, which
forthwith stuck her claws In his nankeens.
Mary dragged off thejcat and b.mt her,
but it was evident that this
had by no means tended (o strengthen
the poor man’s nerves.
‘Nice day, Miss,* said Nat, Bolting
out the words.
‘Do you really think so, Mr. Higgins?
1 am afraid it is raining a little.’
Poor Nat had made a bad shot, so lie
was obliged to sav he rather liked rain
than otherwise. There was a long pause,
when Mary enquired :
‘Are you going to the dance, next
Monday, Mr. Higgins ?’
‘Oh, yes, certainly,’ replied Nat, very
quickly—then checking himself—‘that is
—no—at least Tin not certain, it de
pends on one thing—**—’ Here lie stam
mered and looked so queer, that Miss
Jenkins enqttiredlif he were ill. ‘Oh no
—that is—yes not exactly: but here, you
see—’ stuttered the little man, laying
his hand upon his waistcoat.
‘A pain in the chest ? said Mary, ut
terly nnconciotis. ‘Colds are so very
much about. Have you tried (hose new
wafers Mr. Drury sells ?
‘No-o-o-o !’ said poor Nat, ‘not exact
ly. You see that it's not that; it's not
bodily illness—’ and here he put on
such a diabolical leer, that Mary did not
flbw whether to laugh or scream. She
certainly thought lie was mad.
av, Mr, lliggins, excuse me.
;:x P *r opMr a, “ ul ”
‘Oh. yes—exactly—no—good-bye—
stay. Miss Jenkins.’
He put bis band into’ bis waistcoat
pocket, thrust a piece of paper into her
linnd, saying, ‘Read that!’ with a half
despairing look, and rushed out of the
bouse, nearly breaking his neck over the
sleepy cat, who, however, had no time to
stick her claws a second time into his nan
keens, before he escaped. In an agony
of mind, Dandy Nat rushed to bis own
shop. He was dreadfully afraid he had
made a bad impression. He began to
wonder why be had not said half a hun
dred fine things, that seemed to come so
naturally into his head now. He tried
to recollect what he had said, but lie
could not remember anything except that
bis leg w as still sore from the indentations
of the cat’s claws!
‘Confound the cat !’ he muttlered; ‘it
was she that put everything out of my
head ! Well, never mind. If that girl
has a heart, 1 don’t think she can resist
those verses.’
With that thought he consoled himself
and then fell into a fit of musing, which
lasted half an hour. He was aroused by
a boy knocking at Ins door, who, on his
opening it, thrust a letter into his hand.
‘From M iss Jenkins,’ said the urchin; I
•no answer.’
Willi trembling hands he seited the
sweet missive, and breaking the seal
opened it. An enclosure fell to the
ground, but, before stopping to pick it up
he read the note which was in her hand
writing, and was ns follows:
‘Miss Jenkins’ compliments to Mr.
Higgins, and returns him the paper he
left with Miss J. She cannot understand
what Mr. Higgins could mean in giving
the note to her, as it cannot possibly be
an affair of hers. J( Mr. Higgins means
that be is in want of a small loan, no
doubt her mamma will be happy to sup
ply Mr. Higgins; but he really should ap
ply in a less extraordinary manner.,
A horrid doubt seized poor Higgins
as lie read this letter; he thrust his hand
into his pocket. The verses were still
there ! He picked up the enclosure which
had fallen from Mary’s note. Alas, it
was a dunning epistle from the laundress
that washed and did for him:’
Mr. Higgins—
sir—l doant konsider yor condict be
cummin of a jeutiernan not too meniion
an arodresser not to pay tlie 2 ami 9as
yon o me so long a poor loan widder and
dial sununins you lo Cos wme Korle if not
pade at wunce. marejones.
The uuliappy Nat never moved for
half an hour after this horrid catastrophe.
His first sane action, was to run ofT to the
nearest railway station, and hook himself
for London. He lias never visited ‘our
villiage,’ since that day; but, to his honor
be it said, though he always vows that
‘mare jones’ blighted the hopes of iiis
heart, lie did settle accounts with his
laudress.
No man is free who cannot command
himself.
‘Oh, nothing- is more natural for a lit
erary lady than to double clown a page.’

‘advise Ltfdy Caroline to turn ovor anew

‘/t is very curious,’ said an old gentle*

cried out with tile voice of a stentor:

A tight little Irishman, who had been

Genteel people. —The young lady who
lets her mother do the irining, for fear of
spreading her hands. The miss who
wears thin shoes on a rainy day, and the
young gentleman who is ashamed to be

‘Mamma, may 1 go a fishing?’ Yes
sonney, but dont go too near the water.
And recollect if you’re drowned, I shall

A young gentleman asked a young

Philanthropic —Among the prominent
benevolent objects of the day, for the re
lief of the downtrodden female race, we
perceive the call in the New York papers
for the furmniion of a society for the am
elioration of the condition of women with
snoring husbands.
Lovely. —An interrogatory of silver
sweetness, and an answer of diamond
beauty, are rontined in the following me
thod of getting logo home with her:
The moon shines bright;
Can I go home with you to night.
Answer:—
The stars do too ;
1 don’t care if you do.
“When are you going to commence

The new costume. —A young woman
dressed in the latest female foshion—straw
hat with broad brim and round crown, a
large cape and trowsers—last evening, in
company with a gentleman, promenaded

ton, on Iter way from Albany to this city,
to attract die attention of the passengers,
which was probably what she most de
sired*—N.Y. Evening Post.

‘Tell that rascal,’ said an enraged debtor
to his servant, who had just answered the
rioor bell to admit a dunning Quaker, ’ lam
nut at home.’ The Quaker, looking up to
him, candy said, ‘Well, friend, God put
thee in a better mind.’
Tlte merchant, struck afterward with the
moderateness of iiis reply, and having more
deliberately investigated the matter, became
convinced that the Quaker was right, and he
in the wrong. He requested to see him and
after acknowledging his error, lie said, ‘I
have one question to usk you ; how were you
able wmli such patience, on various occasions
to bear my abuse V ‘Friend,’ replied the
Quaker, 1 was naturally as hot and as violent
as thou art. I knew that to indulge this
temper was sinful; and 1 found that it is in u
passion always spake aloud; and I thought if
1 could controlo my voire, 1 should repress
my passion. I have, therefore, made it a
rule never to suffer my voice to rise above a
certain key; and by a carful observance of
this rule, I bftve, by the blessing of God, en
tirely mustard my natural temper.’
The Quaker reasoned philosophically,
nnd the merchant, as every one else may do,
benefited by his examplenary tone, aud you
will never quarrel. Try it.
Restraint from evil is the best kind of
freedom.

CANCERS CAN BE CURED!!
IMPORTANT TO THE AFFLICTED !
A MONO the many important discoveries and improve-
A menu of the present age, the undersigned has it in
bis |Hnver to offer to rtiose afflicted, a remedy far Cancer,
a disease heretofore deemed incurable. I'his remedy
was discovered by Dr. B. SHEPARD, of Vermont, and
made soccessl'ul in his own case, after vigilant trial and
failure of alt other popular remedies within his reach-
Who, together with the undersigned have made appli
cation of said remedy to many cases with astonishing ‘
success. This remedy is free from all mineral, or vege
table poisons, and lias been applied with safety and suc
cess to Cancer of the tongue.
This remedy is deemed certain in its happy effect, if
timely application is made, before the disease reaches in
ternal organs, or the cose aggravated by improper rem
edies.
Caution*—The undersigned lias been an eye witness
to many cores of this dreadful malady, and has seen
various methods of treatment, and believes all propcsi
tions to cure without pain, as delusive, as no such case
has met his observation.
There are some cases, from the organs implicated, ad
vanced age of the patient, or from misapplication, thnt
render them hopeless, even to the remedy now offered to
the public.
AM persous who apply in person or by written de
scription of their case giving its size, location,age, gen
eral health and habits, together with the remedies that
have been used, may expect a candid answer as to the
result of their case.
It connot be too forcibly impressed on those afflicted
with Cancer, to make early application as delay is dan
gerous, and prolongs the hours of suffering in the cure. 5 .

Read the following testimony from a
Physician.
Gentlemen—Your Hebrew Plaster has cured me of
pains of which 1 have suffered for twelve years past.—
During this period I labored under an affliction of my
loins and side, and tried many remedies that my own
medical experience suggested, but without obtaining re
lief. At length 1 used your Plaster, and am now by its
good effects entirely cured. 1 will recommend the Jew
David or Hebrew Plaster to all who are suffering from
contraction of the muscles, or permanent pains in the
side or bacK.
The people of Georgia have but to become acquainted
with its virtues when they will resort to its use.

Messrs. Scovill & Mead: I have been troubled with
the chronic rheumatism for the last twelve years. On
tlie Ist of July. 1849,1 was so bad that I could not turn
myself in bed, and the pain so severe that I had not
slept, a wiitk for six clays. At this time my attending
physician prescribed the “Hebrew Plaster,” and it acted
like a charm; the pain left me, and 1 slept more than
half of the night, and in three days I was able to ride
out. I consider the “Hebrew Plaster” the best remedy
for allsorts of pains now in use. G. W. M’MINN.

Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in Dayton, ©.
“Datton, May 1,1547.
• D*. A. M. Maubicxau—Afy Dear Sir: • The
Married Woman's Private Medical Companion,’ for
which I enclosed one dollar to your address, came
safely to band. I would not have troubled you with
these few lines, but that I am impelled by a sense
of gratitude, for myself and wife, to give utterance
to our sincere and heartfelt emotions.
“My wife has been perceptibly sinking for tome
three years or more, in consequence of her great an
guish and suffering some months before and during
confinement; every successive one more and more
debilitated and prostrated her, putting her life in im
minent danger, and which was, on the last occasion,
despaired o£ I supposed that this state of things was
inevitable, and resigned myself to meet tha worst.
At this time (now about two months) 1 heard your
book highly spokeo of. as containing some matters
reaching my case. On its receipt and perusal, 1 can
not express to you the relief it afforded my distressed
mind and the joy its pages imparted to my wife, on
learning that tbo greet discovery of M. M. Deso
mcaux provided a remedy. It opened a prospect to
me which 1 little conceived was possible. No pecu
diary consideration can ever repay the obligations I
am under to you for having been the moans of im
parting to ns the matters contained in * The Married
Woman’s Private Medical Companion.’ But for
this, ere another year would have passed over my
hetd, in til human probability my wife would bars
been in her grave, and my children left motherless.

Competence and Health.
“Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 94,1847.
“Mr Dear Sir: I know yon will hare the kind
ness to bear with me tn encroaching upon your time,
while I acknowledge (tn behalf of myself and wife)
the obligations we feel ourselves under to you in hav
ing made known ceilain matters, contained In yonr
most invaluable * Married Womsn’a Private Medical
Companion.’ It has been worth its weight in gold
to me. If I express myself rather warmly, yea will
see thst I can not do so too warmly, when I inform
you of the extent to which I have, through it, been
benefited. 1 will state my situation when I obtained
your book through the mereet cariosity I look upon
it as one of the moat fortunate events of rev life. 1
had been married some ten years, and was the father
of seven children. I was long struggling unceasingly,
to the end that 1 might gain a moderate competency,
but the resuita of my utmost exertions at the end left
roe about where 1 was at the beginning of each year;
and that only, with the most stinted economy, snffl
eiug with barely the necessaries of life. Finally, this
oonstant effort was beginning to have its effect upon
my health: I felt less capable to endure its continu
ance, while I felt the necessity of perseverance.
“ This constant, unceasing struggle on my part was
Imperative, in consequence of the prostrated condi
tion of my wife fwith occasional intermission) for six
years, much of the time confined to her bed. and of
course incapable of taking tho charge and manage
ment of household affairs. Her condition arose from
causes of which I was ignorant. Oh! what would
I have given had 1 the six years to live over again !
What would my wife have given to have been spared
the long days und still longer nights prostrate on a
bed of sickness!—all of which would have been
•voided, had I then seen s copy of ‘ The Marries
Woman’s Private Medical Companion.'”

How many are suffering from obstruction or irrog
clarities peculiar to the female ayatem, which un

portant matters treated of in * The Married Woman's
Private Medical Companion’ some years ago. how
much misery I might have escaped I 1 have suffered
years fiom causes which you point out in your book
without knowing whst to do. I obtained a copy, and
(bund my case treated of. I trust every female will
avail herself of the information oonlained in its pages”
Letters are daily received of this character, unne
cessary to present.
To those yet unmarried, but contemplating mar
riage, or perhaps hesitating as to the propriety of
Incurring the responsibilities attendant upon iL the
Importance of being possessed of the revelations oor.
tolned in these pages, so Intimately involving their
Itature happiness, can not be uppreciated.
It is. of course, impracticable to convey more fully
the various subjects treated of, as they are of a na
ture strictly Intended for the married, or those con
templating marriage; neither j. it necessary,
It is every one a duty to become possessed of knowl
edge whereby the sufferings to wkich a wife, a moth,
er, or a slater, may be subject, can be obviated.
W Copies will be sent by Mull fires ofPestue
to the Porcbnser.
