Five to eight bottles will cure the worst cases of scrofula. A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, aud a perfect cure is warranted when the above quantity is taken. Reader, i peddied 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 dre. so sure willthis 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 appeors to me surpris- ing; first that it hae in our pastures, in some laces quite plentiful, and yet its value has never =A known until I discovered it in 1546—second, that it should cure all kinds of humor. In order to give some idea of the sudden rise and great popuwarity of the discovery, I will state that In April, 1453, 1 peddled it, and sold about 6 bottles per day—in April, 1951, I soid over 1,000 bottles per day of it. Some of the wholesale D ists who Lave been in business twenty and thirty years, say that no- thing inthe annals of patent medicines was ever like it. There isa unlversal praise of it from all quarters. In my own preétice I always kept it strictly for hamers—but since its introductien as a general family medicine. great and wonderful virtues have been found in it that 1 never suspected Several cases of epileptic fits—a disease which ‘was always considered incurable, have been cured by a few bottles. U, whata a effectual 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 aye peopie cured by it For the fous diseases of the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever ard Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases of the Spine, and ularly in diseases of the Kid- neys, &kc., the discovery has done more good than any medicine ever known Xo change of diet ever necessary—eat the best you can get and enough of it.

LOVETS, PROPRISTORS, iy 6—6m EVENING STAR. ADVERTISING FOR A WIFE. Our columns ys the Manchester Guar- dian) have recently contained several adver- tisements for a wife ; and of some of these, certain wags in Rochdale have taken advan- | tage to play off some very successful hoaxes | on the advertisers. One of these would-be Benedicte, in consequence of a correspondence with a Miss ‘‘ Lavinia,’’ proceeded the other day to Tweedale’s Hotel, Rochdale, in the hope of meeting the fair one who had so kind- ly responded to his pooring invitation to give him an interview; but though he displayed the tokens previously agreed upon, no “ La- Vinia”” met bis expectant gaze. Mis disap- jiutment, however, was somewhat lessenod y & young gentleman and introducing himself as a brother of the lady, for whose absence he proceeded to apol | ogise. Another gentleman entered, whe was introduced as @ second brother of * Layinia,”’ und he was speedily followed by a third, a fourth, and so on, till the candidate for mat- rimony might baveexclaimed with Macheth— A fourth! Start eyes! What! will the line stretch out to the crack of doom ? Another yet! A seventh! I'll see po more. Suffice it, that, before all the fifty brothers of Lavinia had been introdueed, the adver- tiser became rather painfully sensible of the fact that he had been most vexatiously duped. oe of the brothers, stepping upon a chair, read aloud, amid much laughter, all the cor- rerpoadence which had passed between the ae and the “ lovely young Lavinia.” he advertiser, though said to exten- sive vinegar manufacturer, manifested no acid- ity on the occasion; on the contrary, he frank- ly acknowledged that he had been taken in, | and threw down a sovereign to be spent by the extensive brotherhood, He added that he bad that morning, at the Victoria railroad station, Manchester, met the seventeenth lady who had replied to his advertisement, ‘and there were othetg with whom he had not yet had the pleasurewf an interview; but it was his intention, when he had seen them all, to select the one he most approved, and hon- | orably marry her. The gentleman was then allowed to retire, amid the laughter, mingled with applause, of the fraternity of fifty! Another advertise- ment was answered in the name of Miss ‘‘An- nie Woodville;’’ some correspondence ensued as to marriage and its relative duties; but the * lady’’ having ventured to suggest an in- terview in Rochdale, the advertiser took alarm, and wrote to her acknowledging the kind attention shown to him, but intimating that he was in the habit of rising woo early in the morning to be induced to pay a visit to Rochdale. Another adventure proved more successful. All the preliminaries in the case having been satisfactorily sattied, an arrange- ment was made for the advertiser to meet the lady who had favorably responded to his ap- peal Here is the literal copy of the letter acce pting the invitation to au interview : ‘Manchester, the 2lat of August, 1855 — Dear Woman—I received yours at the Guar- dian office of the 20th to which I reply, how that I wil! meet you, at the Rochdale station, at 12 of the clock, on Thursday next, ensuing the date hereof. N. DL. You may re-eznise me, with a piece of writing paper something like your note, carrying it in my right hand, hanging it down at full length of the arm, by my side. From L. vs. J. Kay. Un the receipt of this interesting iliiterate epistie, a female servant in one of the hotels in Rochdale was induced to personate Mr. J K.’s fair correspondent, and after a brief in- terview at the Rochdale railway station, where be appeared making the signal de- scribed, he consented to accompany the lady to Tweesdale’s hotel—the head quarters, it would seem, for these tender meetings. On arriving there, he was received by a number of gentlemen assembled, with euch marks of attention, as svon convinaed him that he was caught im a snare unmatrimonial, and he be- came very desirous tw retire; but his friends Were reluctant tw lose his agreeable company 80 soon. The bellman was seut around town with the followii announcement: ‘In view, a gen- tleman in waot of a wife. May be seen at ‘No. 3 Tweesdale’s hotel.”’ Of course, this brought a large accession of admiring tri y and one of the company having adroitly, and unperceived by Mr. J. Kay, stuck a white stor or cockade on the front of his hat. he was reedily distinguished, and received hie com- plement of undivided attention. Visitors tloeked into the room in rapid succession, each in turn being introduced by a masier of cere- monies tothe gentleman who had advertised for awife. This continued till it was too much for the endurance of Mr. J. Kay; he became ill, wept, and implored permission to depart ; and at length, after having been de- tained several hours, he was allowed tu go, on paying for a bottle of wine to solace his tor- mentors. A few more such drnonements and who wonld advertise for a wife. wee DANIEL BOONE. In his peaceful habitation on the banks of the Yadkin river, in North Carelina, Danie! Boone, the illustrious hunter, had beard Fin- ley, a trader, so memorable es a pioneer, de- scribe a tract of land west of Virginia as the richest in Nort America, or in the world. In May, 1769, leaving his wife and offspring, having Finley as a pilot, and four others as his companions, the young man, about three- and-twenty, wandered through the wilderness of America in quest of the country of Ken- tucky, known to the savage as “The Dark and Bloody Ground—the Middle Ground,”’ be- tween the subjects of the Five Nations and the Cherokees. After a long and fatiguing jouruey through mountain ranges, the party found themselves in June, on the Red river, a tributary to the Kentucky, and from the top of an eminence surveyed with delight the beautiful plain that stretches to the north- west. Mere they built their shelter, and be- gan to reconnoitre and bunt. All the kindsof wild beasts tiat were natural to Amerioa— the stately elk, the timid deer, the antlered stag, the wild-cat, the bear, the panther, and the wolf—crouched among the cancs, or roam- ed over — which, even beneath the thick- et’s shades, 5 reg 9 luxuriantly out of the gen- eroua soil. The buffaloes crop fearlessly the herbage or browsed on the leayes of the | reed, and were more frequent than in the set- ‘thement of Carolina herdsmen, Sometimes | there were hundreds in a drove and round the | salt licks their number was amazing. The summer, in which for the firet time na party of white men enjoyed the brilliancy of nature near and in the valley of the Bikborn, passed away in the oecupations of exploring parties and the chase. Bu’, one by one, Boone's companions drop- ped off until he was left alone with John Stew- art. They jointly found unceasing delight in | the wonders of the forest, till one evening, near Kentucky river, they were taken prison- ers by a band of Indians, wanderers like them- selves. They escaped, and were joined by Boone's brother; so that, when Stewart was soon after killed by savager, the first victim among the hecatomb of white men slain by them in their de: battling for the love- ly hunting-ground, Boone still had his brother to share witn him the d rs and attractions of the wilderness, the building, and oceupy- ing the firat cottage in Kentucky. n the spring of 1770 that brother retursed to the settlement for horses and les ammunition, leaving the re bunter * by himself, without bread, or or sugar, cr even a horse or dog.”” “ The of a be; loved wife,’’ anxious for his safety, nis thoughts with sadness; but wise the cheerful meditative man, careless of wealth, precting him by name | robust frame, in tie Vigorous bealth | of early manhood, ignorant boo! vateed. ta the forest and forest life, erat feat of tracking the_geeron foot away from mo, | yet in his disposition humane, generous and | gentle, was happy in the uninterrupted eue- | cession of sylvan pleasures. “He held unconscious intercourse with beauty old as creation.” Oae calm summer evening, as he climbed « commanding ridge, and |i oat upon the | remote “ venerable mountains,’ and the nearer ample plains, and caught aghines fn the dis- tence of the Ohio, which bounded the land of his affections with mniostio ip raed a exulted in the region he had discove: things were still.’’ Not 9 breese uch as | chaek aleaf.

[Bancrofi's History. EAINTUCK AND THE FIDDLER. On board the steamer Indiana, on one of her trips down the Mississippi, were a largo number of gool natured passengers. They were seeking to while away hours accord to their several notions of pleasure, and woul have got on very well, but for one annoyance There happened to be on board a Hoosier from the Wabash who was ing down to Orleans, and he had rrovided himself with an old fiddle, fancying that he could fiddle as well as the best man, and planting himself where he would attract notice, scraped away. The fellow couldn't fiddle any more than » setting hen, and the horrible noise disturbed his fellow-passengers. A Frenchman ef very delicate nervesand a very fine musical ear, Was especisliy annoyed. He fluttered, fidg- etted, and swore at the fiddle. The passen- gers tried various expedients to rid themselves of the Hoosier avd his fiddle, but it was no go; ~ he would music just as long as he pleased.’ At last the big Kentuckian sprang from his seat, saying, *‘ 1 reckon I'll fix him,”’ placing himself by the Gddler, he commenced braying with all bismight. The fect of this move was beyond description. id Kaintuck bray- ed so loud that he drowned the screechings of the fiddle. and amid the shoute of the passen- gers, the discomfitted Hvosier retreated be low, leaving the vietory to the unequal con- test with the Kentuckian and his singular im- promptu imitation of Balaam’s friend delight of the Frenchman knew no bounds, and yulet was restored for the da: Daring the uight the Kentuckian left the boat. The next morning, after breakfast, the passengers were startled by the discordant Sound of their old tormentor. Hoosier had discovered the const was elear, and was bound to revenge himself of the passengers Loud ani worse then ever sereamed the fiddle The Frenchman, just seated to read his pa- per, ov the ig sound pte looked aux lously aroen brugged shoulders, and then shouted—*: Vare is he’—Vare is be’ Queeek! Quoeck! Mow Dien! Vare is Mon- seeur Keutuck, de wan vat play en de jack- ass!" A Sexxy Sermir —How beautifal it is? A spirit of cheerfalpess aad readiness to enjoy, of genial humer, warmth and gentleness and hopetulness of feeling, cbarity and kindIiness of peaceful faith, of brightoess of fancy and clearness of thought, and the joyful appre- ciation of all that is beautiful! at a aarm such a spirit sheds about its possessor! How tranquil and how happy are the family circles emid which it prevails! How does 4 make the comsmon words of the soul which it per- vades as musical in their flow as brooks in June’ How sweetly does it retain its serenity against the strong impulse of opposition! How does it enlighten that portion of life which is overhung and shadowed by sorrow or by peril! Ifow does it imbue with beauty the literature or the art of the mind that is its dwelling’ llow does it convert even the infirmitlesof old age, which it camnot dissipate, into occasions of pleasanter anticipation; as the sun at even- ing lines the thickest clouds with pearl and silver, and edges their masses with jen sheen! And how does such a spirit, asthe ev- idence and the result of faith in Christ, and of delightfal trust in the Divine Father, cor- respood with all thatis sablime in holiness, and grand in self devotion, and powerful and uplifting in belief of the Truth’ How does it find its mtting and natural consummation, af- ter life’s day is done, amid the rest and peace of heaven. Who would not have a “sunny spirit?” the charming influence of Christianity; the sweet- ener of life, that beautiful essenee, peruading our thoughts; that fruit of geetle submission to the Divine wisdom; that shadows of God's home as Piato said, the light of bis bod: No felicity o ization no effort of the wil uo friendly guidance and education, alone, can give it, can render it perfect or make it manent. But in Christ Jesus, trough faith in him, and the reception of his Spiritand joy- ful trast in his redemption, we may find it.
