NEWSPAPER collecting.
The following roost amusing letter Was
orginally written for a South Carolina
paper, by a collector sent out on a tour
for the office, It will do for almost any
meridian as well as that of South Caro
lina.
My Dear Sir : I have jnsts returned
from a tour through this Slate, and pro
ceed to furnish you with an account of my
labors and their success. 1 have beep
gone for three months, and / assure you,
in all sincerity, that lam fully satisfied.
Y on furnished me a list of 117 owing
subscribers as you will recollect. I have
called on 104 of them, and have the hon
or paying over to your order $3 12 I*2,
being the amount to which you are enti.
tied. 1 return you the list numbered 1
to 117, aud now give you the reply of
each:
No. I—ls a minister. He he says, in
the first place, he never got one-half of the
numbers, (a lie according to the account
of the post master,) and in the next place,
your joker’s column was too scurrilious.
He can’t think of aiding to sustain a pa
per that advertises horse races aud gan
der pullings. Besides, he knows from
the tone of your editorials that you drink,
and paying you would only be the means
of your ending your days in the kennel.
He wonders at your impudence in sending
him his bill after publishing the aocuunt
ol the great prize fight between Left
Handed Smoke and Balering Bill. He
wants nothing from vou—never wants to
hear from you again.
No. 2 —ls in jail for debt. He says
not seen a half dollar lor a year. Says he
would pay with the utmost cheerfulness, it
he only had the money, but had to bor
row a shirt to put on last Sunday. Ad
mires your paper wonderfully, and hopes
you will continue sending it to him. He
wishes you to take a bold stand in favor
of the abolition of imprisonment for debt,
as he thinks it would be a very popular
move with gentlemen in his situation.-
you send him any more pape-is, he
■Efipes that you see that the postage is
pai(J, as otherwise he will be unable to en
joy your bends his best
No. 3—ls a young doctor; says your
papers is beneath the notice of a gentle
man. Wouldn’t give a—— for a cart
load. Says you inserted an article re
flecting on the profession. Only wishes
he could catch yon here; would make
you smell —. Is going to persuade
every body that takes your paper to stop
it. Cursed your bill, and says you can
collect it in the best way you can.
No. 4—ls an old maid. Says you’fe
always taking a fling at single ladies of
an uncertain age. Wouldn’t pay you if
the was rolling in wealth, and you hadn’t
cash enough to buy you a crust'of bread.
Sent all the papers she had back, and
says she don’t owe you anything; that
the is even with you, and means to keep
so until the day of judgement. Asked
me nut to forget to tell you that you are
no gentleman, or you wouldn't under
take to slander a large and respectable
class of the female population of the
country.
No. 5 —ls a gambler; a sporting gen
tleman. Says he got perfectly cleaned
out last week at the races. Couldn’t ac
commodate his grandmother to a half
dime, il she was starving. Likes your
paper tolerably; would like it better if
you published more about races, and
would occasionally give an account of a
cock fight. Liked the description of the
prize|fight mostjamazingly; it redeemed a
multitude of your faalts. Hopes you wont
think hard of him for not paying you now,
but has got a prospect of soon having
some loose change, as he is after a rich
young greenhorn, who arrived here last
week. Will pay you out of the pluck
ings.
No. 6—ls an old drunkard. Hasn't
got anything and never expects to have.
Gathered up all the old papers he had
and sold them for a half pint of rum to
the doggery keeper, to wrap groceries in.
Wished you would send him a pile, as
they cost him no postage, his brother-in
law being postmaster, and pormiliing
him to take out his papers for nothing.
Winked at me when I presented your bill,
and inquired if 1 wasnt a distant relation
of the roan that butted the bull of the
bridge.
No. 7—ls a magistrate. Swore he
never owed you a cent, and told me I was
a low rascal, for trying to swindle him in
such a barefaced manner. Advise me
to make tracks in little less than no time,
or he would get out a warrant for me as
a common cheat and have me sent to
prison. Took his advice. Is by all odds
the meanest man I have seen yet. Will
never go near him again.
No. B—ls a politician. Says although
you publish a neutral paper, it was not so.
Thinks he has seen a considerable squill
ing towards the side to which he is op
posed. Meant to have told] you a year
a go to stop my paper, but forgot it.— i
Tells you to do so now, and thinks you
are getting off very cheaply in not loos
ting any more by him. Believes you to
be a rascal, and is too honorable to have
anything to do with you, as it might
compromise him and injure his pros
pects.
No. 9—Paid up like a man.] The on
s ly one. Likes your paper first rate, and
> means to lake it; pay for it as/long as you
r publish it or he lives. Asked me to
t ner, and treated me like a king, A'n
- oasis in the desert, A man fit lor hear
veu.
I No. 10—7s a merchant. Expects to
■ break shortly; must save all his small
’ change. Offered me a pair of breeches
and a cotton hankerchief for ihe debs.—
Refused with scorn. Had a long jaw.
, | Threatened to break my head. Dared
him to do it. Threw a hatchet at me.—
I dodged it and put out.
Nos. 11 to 117 —Means as rot. Had
no money, wouldn’t pay; didn’t owe. I
swore /’d sue. Said I might sue and be
hanged. Cursed all the little ones and
hurried from the big. Never got the
red cent from one of them.
Please ccept my resignation, and
strike my name from your lists of agents.
I admire your paper very much myself,
but it would be a queer-looking sort of a
concern that would come fully up to the
requirements of everybody. One wants
independence in an editor, another
wouldn’t touch a paper that contained an
irreverent line with a ten foot pole. One
sentimental, lackadiasical Miss, in pantes
lettes, wanted nothing but love poetry;
another never read anything but the mar
riages.
The following is a true extract from
my note book. 1 have not succeeded a
whit better with the patrons of the other
publications of which I am agent, as it is
impossible to collect from those who are
determined not to pay. I have said I
have been away three months I have
expended in that period two hundred
and ten dollars travelling, and my entire
commissions amount to eighty-two dol
lars and forty-five cents. lam very wil
ling to do my share towards the propa
gation of news but more than this no rea
sonable man could ask. This business
don’t exactly suit me; I can't stand it.
All kinds of abuse I havf to bear, too.
Lwouldn’l mind it so much if they only
cursed you and your paper, but they cures
I lUx !°° *
Swindler, rascal, villian, blood-sucker!
Thesa are some of the names they think
proper to bestow upon me. 1 tried figh
ting for a while, and thrashed several of
your patrons like blazes, but occasional
ly I got licked like thunder myself, Om e
1 was put in jail for assault and battery,
and only escaped by breaking out.
Send me a receipt for the three dollars
twelve and a half cents, and believe yours
in despair, Aaron Sweatwell.
Thought. —Though is a fountain
from which flow all good and evil inten
tions; a mental fluid, electrical in the force
and rapidity of its movemets’ silently flow
ing unseen within its own secret avenues;
yet il is the controlling power of all anima
ted matter, and the chief mainspring of all
our action.
‘I Love to Steal.' —An amusing in
cident occured in one of our down east
church*, some years ago. The clergyman
gave out on a pleasant Sabbath afternoon
in July:
‘‘l love to steal awhile away,
From every ’cumbering care,
And spend the hour of setting day,
In humble giateful prayer.”
The regular chorister being absent,
the duty devolved upon the guod old dea
con lvi , who commenced,
‘I love to steal— ’
and then bagged down—and raising his
voice to higher pitch, he sung,
‘I love to steal— ’
and as before, he concluded he had got
the wrong pitch, and deploring that he
had not his ’pitch-turner,’ he determined
to succeed if he died in the attempt.
By this time all the old ladies were
tittering behind their tans, whilst the fares
of tiie ,young’ ’uns were all in a broad
grin. At length, after a desperate enugti
he made a final demonstration and roared
out,
‘I love to steal— 1
This effort was too much; every other
but the godly and eccentric pnrsn was
laughing, who arose, and with the utmost
coolness said:
Seeing our brother’s propensities, let us pray!
It is needless to say that but few of
that congregation heard the prayer.
Professional pomposity is very well
taken off in th* following anecdote, which
we found in a late English paper: Shields,
doctor, (looking learned and speaking
slow:) ‘Well, mariner, which tooih do
you want extracted l Is it a malor or an
incisor? Jack (short and sharpe :) ‘lt
is in the upper tier, in the larboard side.
Bear a hand, you swab; for it is nipping
my jaw like a bloody lobster.’
The queerest object in nature is a
Spanish beggar, for these beggars beg
on horseback; and it is an odd thing to
see a man riding a up to a poor foot pas
, senger and asking alms. A gentleman
of Valparaiso, being accosted by one of
these mounted beggars, replied, ‘why sir,
you come to beg of me who have to go
on foot while you ride on horseback!’
‘Very true, sir,’ said the beggar, • and I
have (he more reason (o beg, as 1 have to
support my horse as *€ll as myself.’

CANCERS CAN BE CURED!!
IMPORTANT TO THE AFFLICTED !
A MONG the many important discoveries and improve
ax ment.- of the present age, the undersigned has it in
his power to offer to those afflicted, a remedy for Lancer,
a disease heretofore deemed incurable: this remedy
was discovered by Dr. B. SHEPARD, of Vermont, and
made successful in his own case, after vigilant Inal and
failure of all other popular remedies within his reach-
Who, together witli the undersigned have made appli
cation of Baid remedy to many cases with astonishing
success. This remedy is free from all mineral, or vege
table poisons, and has 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 readies in
ternal organs, or the case aggravated by improper rem
edies.
Caution*—The undersigned has been an eye witness
to many cases of this dreadful malady, and has seen
various methods of treatment, and believes all proposi
lions to cure without pain, as delusive, as no such case
has met his observation.
Theft are some cases, from the organs implicated, ad
vanced age of the patient, or from misapplication, that
render them hopeless, even to the remedy nuw offered to
the public. ■ . ,
All persons 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. j
It eonnot be too forcibly impressed on those afflicted.*

Read the following testimony from a
Physician.
Gentlemen—Your Hebrew Plaster has cured me of
pains of which I have suffered for twelve years [last. —
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 I used your Plaster, and am now by its
good effects entirely curej I 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 baclt.
The people of Georgia have but to become acquainted
with its virtues when they will resort to its use.

the Ist of July. 1849,1 was so bad that I could not turn

slept a wink for six days. At this time my attending
physi'-ian prescribed the “Hebrew Plaster,” and it acted
like a charm; the paitk left me, and 1 slept more than
half of the night, arid in three days 1 was able to ride

SICKLY AND UNHAPPY WIVES.
Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in Dayton, O.
“Dayton, May 1, 1847.
“Dr. A. M. MaDRICIAU— My Dear Sir: ‘The
Married Woman'* Private Medical Companion,’ for
which I enclosed one dollar to your address, came
safely to hsnd. 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 some
three years or more, in consequence of her great an
guish and auffering some month# before and during
confinement; every successive one more and more
debilitated and proatrated her, putting her life in im
minent danger, and which was, on the last occasion,
despaired of 1 anpposed that this state of thing* was
inevitable, and resigned myself to mpet the worst.
At this time (now about two months) I heard your
book highly spoken of. as containing some matters
reaching my case. On its receipt and perusal, I can
not express to yon the relief it afforded my distressed
mind and the joy ita pages imparted to my wife, on
learning that the great discovery of M. M. Deio
meaux provided a remedy. It opened a prospect to
me which I little conceived was possible. No pecn
niary coaaideration can ever repay the obligations 1
am under to you for having been the meana of im
parting to ua the matters contained in ‘ The Married
Worn an'a Private Medical Companion.’ But for
this, ere another year would have passed over my
head, in all human probability my wife would hare
been in her grave, and my children left molherlea*.’
Extract from a Letter.
Competence and Health.
14 Lancaster, Pa , Oct 24, 1847.
44 My Dear Sir : I know you will have the kind
ness to bear with me in encroaching upon your time,
while I acknowledge (in behalf of myself’and wife)
the obligations we feel ouraelvea under to you in hav
ing made known certain mattera, contained in yonr
moat invaluable 4 Married Woman’s Private Medical
Companion.’ It has been worth ita weight in gold
to me. If I express myself rather warmly, yen will
eee that I can not do so too warmly, when I inform
Jyou of the extent to which I have, through it, been
Benefited. 1 will state my situation when I obtained
your book through the merest curiosity I look upon
Lit as one of the most fortunate events of v life. I
had been married some ten years, and was the father
of .wen children. I was long struggling unceasingly,
to the end that I might gain a moderate com|>etencv,
bnt the resalts of my utmost exertions at the end left
me abont where I was at the beginning of each year;
and that only, with the most stinted economy,'suffi
cing with barely the necessaries of life. Finally, this
constant effort was beginning to have its effect upon
my health: 1 felt less cspnble to endure its comma
ance, while I felt the necessity of perseverance.
“ This constant, unceasing struggle on my part was
imperative, in consequence of the proatrated condi
tion of my wife (with occasional intermission) for six
years, tnoch of the time confined to her bed, and of
course incapable of taking the charge and manage
ment of household affairs. Her condition arose from
causes of which 1 was ignorant. Oh! what would
I have given had I the six years to live over again !
What would my wife have given to have been spared
the long daya and still longer nights prostrate on a
bed of sicknera!—all of which would have been
•voided, bad I then seen a copy of ‘ The Marrixb
Woman’s Privat* Medical Companion.'”

Extract from a Letter.
To thou just Married.— ” Had I known!”
‘'PHiLADXt.FHU, Nov. 29, 1847.
“Dr. A. M. Mxuriceau: Had I known ol the im
purtant matters treated of in ‘The Married Woman's
Private Medical Companion’ some years ago. how
much misery I might have escaped ! I have suffered
years from causes which you point out in yonr book,
without knowing what to do. I obtained a copy, and
(bund my case treated of. I trust every female will
avail htraelf of the information contained in its pages.”
Letters are daily received of this oharacter, unne
cessary to present.
To those yet unmarried, bnt contemplating mar
riage, or peihape hesitating as to the propriety of
Incurring the responsibilities attendant upon it, the
Importance of being poeseased of the revelations coa
talneft in tbeae pages, so intimately involving their
future happiness, can not be appreciated.
It is, of course, impracticable to convey more Tally
the various subjects treated of aa they are of a na
ture strictly intended for the married, or those con
templating marriage; neither is it necessary, since
It ie every one's duty to become possessed of knowl.
edge whereby the sufferings to which a wife, a moth
er, or a aiator, may be subject, can be obviated.
