That such is its character, isabundantly proved by the fact, that it has been exieastveiy used the last twenty years with unparalleled suc- cess; that Its reputetion has continued to spread and its sale Increase, with litte aid from adver ow can as easily be had for a wortblers preparation as for a meritorious one,) that by Its own intrinsic merit, with the recommendation cf pe: ise, 1t has gained its one that has been cencraily found to aftord relief where most cthers have been tried without material benefit.

After the meeting adjourned, the guardian, who know the inquisitive character of Mrs. K., procured a biliy-goat and placed him in a closet that was kept as a reservoir for the se- cret things He then informed the lady of wishes of the Lodge, and requested her to come early next morning, a3 he would then be at leisure to show her what was and what was not to be done Morning came, and with it Madame K., with her broom, brushes, pails, tubs, &c , pre- pared and armed for the job, and found the guardian waiting for her. ‘Now, madame,” said he, “I'M tell you what we want done, and how we came to em ploy you. The brothers said it was difficult to get any body to do the job, and not be med- dling with the secrets in that little closet; we have lost the key, and cannot find it to lock the door.

Some two years ago, says our informant, quite on amusing and novel scene transpired in the presence of his honor, a Probate Judge f Ka: , while he was holding court We shall not give the real names of the par- i nd hope no one will take offence. T Ged- date of this scene was some time in Tuary, 1854—the Iccale in some county. The court room was a little log hut, ten by twelve, with a dirty chimney and floor; chairs were very scarce, and his honor had had sev- eral chunks of wood rolled in for seats. Upon _ of the said chunks his honor eat, with all is jedicial dignity. Betore him ——— some poor fellow, for borrowing bis nei s chickens without permission, confronted by bis acouser. Upon the opposite side of the place sat the sheriff and one of his friends, en- yaged ina pleasant game of “ old sledge ;"" we will call them Smith and Brown. The Judge, after ———s his quill and brushing back his hair se’ times, that bis legal bumps might be thoroughly exhibited, and looking the prisoncr full in the face, pro- pounded an interrogatory hke this : ae —Sir, what have you tossay for your- self?

'Twas you that begged. Judge.—Silence in the court. Everything was quiet again for a few mo- ments; the cards were sbuffied and dealt, snd in the mean time his honor proceeded with the examination in the height of some other questions bei propounded by the Judge, Smith begged, an Lrown gave one, halloing out— * Now rip ahead, old boss—five and five ”’ The Judge, indignant and angry, arose from the bench and crossed to the players. Before he could speak, he espied Smith’s hand, hold- g the jack and ten of trumps, at the same t glancing at a big stone lying between the two, he eaw two half dollars “Brown,” says the Judge, “17lt bet you five dollars Smith beat: the game. “Dore,” says Brown, and up ‘ h led off, and won the trick; led again, and won; led the third time and won, but no game yet; commenced whistling and scratch- ing his head.
