Reader, | peddled over a thousand bottles of this In the vicinity of Boston. I know the effect of itin everycase So sure as water will extin- guish fire so sure will this cure humor. I never sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after a trial it always speaks for itself. ‘here are two things about this herb that appears to me surpris- ing; first thatit grows in our pastures, in some places quite plentiful, and yet its value has never been kuown uutil I discovered it in 1546—second, that it should cure all kinds of humor. In erder to give some idea of the sudden rise and great popuiarity of the discovery, 1 will state that In April, 1553, 1 peddled it, and sold about 6 bottles per day--in April, 1851, I sold over 1,000 bottles per day of it. Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been in basiness twenty and thirty years, say that no- thing ja the annals of patent medicines was ever like it. There is a universal praise of it from all quarters. In my own practice I always kept it strictly for hamers—but since its introduction as a general family medicine great and wonderful virtues have n found in it that | never suspected Several cases of epileptic fits—a disease which was alwa\ s considered incurable, have been cured by a few bottles. UO, whata ee | if it will prove eff-ctnal in all cases of that awful malady—there are but few who have seen more of it than I have. 1 know of several cases of Dropsy, all of them aged people cured by it. For the various diseases of the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever ard Ague, Pain inthe Side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly in diseases of the Kid- neys, &c., the discovery has done more good than any medicine ever known No change of diet ever necessary—eat the best you can get and enovyh of it.

He sleeps in the barracks, in a room with one other; at half-past five in the winter the reveille awakens him ; he immediately arises, doubles up his blankets and mattrass. and oe them 02 the head of his iron bedstead ; ie studies until seven o'clock: at that hour the drum beats for breakfast, and the cadets fallinto rank and proceed to the mess ball. Twenty minutes is the ucusl time breakfast. Gusrd mounting takes p e at half-past seven, and twenty-four are placed on guard every day. At eight o'clock the bugie sounds, end the recitations commence. At one o'clock the bugle again sounds, the professors dismiss their respective stations, the cadets form ranks opposite the barracks and march to dinner. Between eleven and one a part of the cadets are occupied in riding, and others in fencing. daily. After dinner they have until two o’clock for recreation. and from two to four they are employed in recita- tions. At four o'clock the bugle sounds, and they go either to battalion or light artillery drill. This exercise lasts an hour an a half. After that they devote the time to recreation until parade, which takes place at sunset After parade they form into rank in front of the bar- racks, and the names of the delinquents are read by an officer of the cadets. Suppercomes next; and after supper recreation till eight o'clock, when the bugle sounds tocall to quar- ters, and every cadet must be found in bis room within a few minutes at study, and must remain there thus employed until half past nine. At half past nine the bugle sounds; this is called tattoo ; and at ten the drum taps, and at ten every cadet must be in bed, having his light extinguished, and must remain there f, during the night, the cadet is found to be absent from room more than thirty minutes, and does not give a satisfactory account of himself, charges are preferred against him, and he is court-mar- shaled. The use of intoxicating drink and of tobacco is strictly repudiated ; so are playing at chess, wearing whiskers, and a great many other The punishment to which the cadets are lable are privation of recreation, &c. ex- tra hours of duty, reprimands, arrests, con- finewent to his room or tent; confinement in light prison, confinement in dark prison, dis- | mission with the privilege of resinging, and public dismission.

Eoitine a Papen.—Itis acomewhat carious fact that a vast number of men, who are ut- terly incapable of managing their own business orany other, still think that they perfectly understand that of en editor’s, cl regard themselves as under a special mission to give the latter the benefit of their views on all ac- easions. Itis singular, but there are very many who really secm to sincerely believe that writing comes by nature—that the editor is without this endowment, and that they ought, inchristian charity, to help him cut. Could some cf these self-elected censors be put into harness for a while and realize what it means to be a mental engine under a perpetual press of intellectual steam, they would pos- sibly charge their views of the case which they would knock cffa little article. People who think that editing a paper is a pleasanter di- version than digging cellars by moonlight, or lugging bricks up a four-store building in a bot July’s sun, may profit by the following sensible remarks from the editor of the Bed- ford (Vt.) Gazette: “Tt is not so easy a task to write for a news- paper as people suppose. A man may bea good scholar, a profound thinker, a vigilant ubserver of passing events, without being able to write for a newspaper. The power of writ- ing « leading article for a newspaper isa sact which few possess, and which we haye known many, with all their learning and diligence, unable to acquire. It requires a large amount of information on various subjects, and a read- iness of application that must never be in fault, or the writer will fail For, remember, the editor is always writing against time, and the inexorable printer must have his copy ; at that, there is no time to revise and ameud; but as slip after slip is written, the “devil” snatches it away, and one half is usually set up in print before the other half is written This exacts a decision of thought and a faeylty of writing which, like poetry, seems rather x gift of nature than an acquired faculty. ” A Koven Dvev.—On Tuesday evening Inst. says the Lexington Observer, two youtig theca? of that city, who hed been at Variance for some time, on account of reasons best known to themselves, concluded to waive all the un- necessary formalities of the regular duello, and to go out and pistol each other in accord- ance with extemporaneous regulations adopted ty themselves expressly for the occasion pon their arrival at the verge of the city, some spectators, who hed accompanied them | out, endeavored to persuade them to lay aside their pistols and fight a fist fight; but one of them said that he had eaten no dinner, and did not feel sufficiently robust for anything of that sort, and, as a matter of course, this English argument broke up all further nego tiauons. They then selected a suitable spot took their positions a few paces apart, drew their revolvers, and commeseed firing. One of the parties fired fiye times, and the other twice, the difference being caused by the suapping of one pistol three times. After the firing it was ascertained that neither was hurt, whereupon they retuyned to the city aa socially as they had ‘left it. It is said that both parties behaved with great coolness, ond that several of the shots were grasers. {BP One of our jokers, the other day, on : in a Canada paper, and seeing the ages of many on the list to Docighty and upward, said he couldn’t see how people afforded to live so long at the north—he was t but thirty, and hadn’t money enough to hold out much longer, these hard times. How Mr. Sparrowgrass went Down Stairs One evening Mr. S. had retired when I was busy writing, when it strack me that a g! of ice water would be palatable So I took candle and a piteher and went down to the kitchen. Our pump is in the kitchen. a country pump in hen is more conve- uient; but » well with a bucket is certainly ‘gore picturesque. Unfortunately our well water has not been sweet since it was cleaned out. First, I had to open a bolted door that tets you into the basement hall, and then I Went to the kirchen door, which proved to be locked. Then I remembered that our girl always carried the key to bed with her. and slept with it under her pillow. Then I retraced my steps, bolted the basement door, and went up into the dining room As is always the case, I found, when I could not grt any water, I was thirstier than I sup 1 was. Then I thought I would wake up our girl. Then I concluded not to doit. Then i thought of the well, but gave that up on ac- count of the flavor. Then I opened the close: doors—there was no water there; and then | thought of that dumb waiter’ The novelty of the idea made me smile; I took out two of the moveable shelves, stood the pitcher in the bottom of the dumb waiter, got in myself with the lamp, let myself down until I Supposed | se within @ foot of the floor below, and then jet go! e came down so suddenly, thet { was shot out of the aratus as if it had been a cate pult.

Then I hoisted the window, and there were the rigid iron bars. LIfever I felt angry at en: body, it was at myself for putting up those bars to please Mrs. Sparrowgress.

Then I made a noise; I shout- ed until 1 was hoarse, and ruined our presery- ing kettle with the poker. That brought our dogs out in full bark, and between us we made night hideous. Then I thought 1 heard a voice, and listened—it was Mrs. Sparrowgrass calling me from the top of the staircase. 1 tried to make ber hear me, but the dogs united with howl, growl and bark, so as to drown my voice, which is naturally plaintive and tender. Besides there were two bolted doors and dou- ble-deafened doors between us; how could she recognise my voice, even if she did hear it’ Mrs. Sparrowgrass called once or twice, and then got frigatened ; the next thing I heard * was asound asit the roof had fallen in, by which I understood that Mrs. Sparrowgrass wes springing the rattle. That called our neighbor, alresdy wide awake. He came to the resoue with a bull terrier, a Newiound!and pup, a lantern and a revolver. The moment he saw me he shot at me, but fortunately just missed me. I threw mysell under the kiteben table and began to expostulate with him, but he would not listen toreason. In the excitement I had fi. rgvtten his name, and that made matters worse.
