MORTIMORE's Kheumntic Compound,
and Blood Purifier: .4 err lain Curt fur
tithrr Inflammatory i Cutf ) or Citr unr Ukrumatirm.
This valuable remedy stands without a rival in
the history of discoveries, ;n this or any other
country, in curing this painful and paralysing dis
e».<e, in ait its various forms):
The vast number that have been cured by the
use of this compound, during the past year, de
monstrates this fait. Not only recent acute or
mfiainuiatory cases, bat old chronic cases, of ten,
twenty, thirty and even forty years standing; A-here
they had not only tried every other external and
internal remedy of which they could hear, but at
great expense, had trade led, and passed under the ]
treatuii nt f a number oT the first m» lical men of
Europe, a> wdl as of owuni inntry, . Hied the
various watering places, taken voyages a’ sea, and
dwelt hi the lined salubrious climes, without ob
taining relief. Some, who were reduced to a mere
skeleton, tlnur flesh had withered away, their
limbs were paralysed, and many that hat! scarcely
been ablet® walk for ten, fifteen and twenty years.
These have been curt 1 sound and well, regained
their desh and tin" use of their limbs, and now en
joy excellent health fr -m the use of this compound.
These facts are fully substantiated by published
testimony, from the highest possible sunn es ; ten
Uniony that cannot be gainsaid, but which can tie
vouched fu bv ;<» thuuoanl witnesses.

MORTEM1 IRE'S HITTER CORDIAL, AND
BLOOD PC RIFIER ; a Vegetable Spirit,
and’he rn >st scientific preparation ever prodneed,
oae iKjttle of which, is warranted to possess more
real medicinal virtues than ten tunes that amount
of Sarsaparilla, or any cither preparation p it up
for similar p irpos -s. Its unequal virtues are soon
made manifest in diseases having their origin in
impurities of the blood, such as—Neuralgia, Scrof

tions, Salt-Rhem, Tetter or Ringworm, P,triples
on t! e face or surface of the skin, soreness or
iniS’ ry in the breast or region of the heart, general
debility or nervous affections, and all irregular
habits of the system, (especially with females,)
and the many derangements of tin neivous sys
tern, and di>eax s ar sing from the injudicious use
of calomel and other poisonous drugs.
This is a tine cordial, pleasant and agreeable to
take, and perfectly safe to be used in any state of
healtn. even bv the miart delicate f. ovule of child.
And it is an article that . very one should use, at

Miss Dis, the celebrated philanthropist who1
visited oar State abo.it five years ago, for the pur
pose of ameliorating if possible the condition cf our
State prisoners and making useful donations to
them, is thus noticed by the Greenville (111) Pat
riot :
The otheT day, in conversation with Miss Dis,
the philanthropist, during her visit to Greenville,
n lady said to her; " Are you not afraid to travel
all over the country alone, and have you not en
countered dang- n and been in perilous situations?”
“ I am naturally timid,” said Mesa D.x, " and dif
fident, like all my sex; but in order to carry out
my purposes. I know that R is necessary to make
sacrifices and encounter dangers. It is true, I hare
been, iu my travels through the different States, in
perilous situations. I will mention one; which ,
occurred in the Slate of Michigan. 1 had hired a
carnage and driver to convey me some distance
through an nmnfiabiwd port .on of the country.—
Iu starting, 1 ills jvered that the driver, a young
lad, hyd.» paj^ of pistol* with hitu. Inquiring
wh-M-tt* was ifijing with arms, he said he carried ,
them to protect us, as he Lad heard tuat robberies
had been committed on our road. 1 said to him,
‘give me the pistols, I will take care of them.'—
He did so, reluctantly.
•• In pursuing o.ir journey through a dismal
lookiug forest, a man rushed into the road, caught
the .horses by the bridle, and demanded my purse.
I said to him, with as much self-possession as 1
could command, * Are you not ashamed to mb a
woman? I have but little money, and that 1 w aut
Jo defray my expenses tn visiting prisons and poor
housi s, and oceasinnally in giving to objects of
charity. If you hav • been unfortunate, are in dw
tr-", and in waul of money, I will give yousome.’
Whilst thus speaking tn him, I discovered his
countenance changing, and he became deathly
pale. ‘ My God,’ he exclaimed, ‘ That voice?’
and immediately told me that he had been in the
Philadelphia Penitentiary, and had heard uie lec
turing some of the prisoners in an adjoining cell,
and that he now reciguised my voire. He then
desired me to pass on, and expressed deep sorrow
at the Outrage he had committed. But 1 drew out
my purse, and said to him, ‘ 1 will give you some
thing to support you until you can get into honest
employment.’ He declined, at first, taking any
thing, until I insisted on his doing so, (-tr fear he
might be tempted to rob same one else before he
could get into honest employment.”
Had not Miss Di\ taken possession of the pistols
in all probability they would have been used by
her driver, and pet haps both of them murdered.—
•‘That voice” was more powerful in subduing
the heart of a robber than the sight of a brace of
pistols.
Wire Fence*.
We find the following m the Southern Cultiva
tor. The experiment has been fairly tested in this
city by Capt. Albert Pike, who has enclosed his
ex -nsive grounds with a barrier of this kind, and
we understand that it is cheaper and more durable
than the best wood fence. It is a uuvclty w ith us
and we think a great improvement on the ordinary
style of enclosures. A correspondent of the Cui
livaior says:
“ I have taken a few short excursions through
the country this spring, as t do every year? in
order to learn somt thing new, and to sc; what the
people are up to m their farming matters: and
unions the '.mugs that are new, l have seen an ex
cellent wire fence in Covington. It was put up
by Mr. Thomas tl. Mabry, a citizen of that place,
who deserves praise and a premium for his first
siav un wire-teuce nuking. The gate into the
enclosure is also made of wire, and the pfan is ex
cellent, no doubt, (or such purposes, and espe
cially when large gates are to be used, as it makes
them exceedingly tight. The fence is about five
feet high, is well made, of good materials, anil
cost about six cents a f nt. It has been fairly
tested by a large bull, wtio seeing a lovely cow
hard bv. thought lo s -»|>e acquaintance with the
lair quadruped, and lo give her a specimen of his
gallantry. To this end, lie made three effort* to
r.-ach her: bu’ the mysteries mrtnddmg any inter
course, he became enraged, and tearing up the
dirt with a vengeance, be retired, uttering a thun
dering protest against the pertinacious cob webs.
A dog also, m a wanton mood thought to pass the
wires, but not exactly understanding “the hang of
the .lung,” he became so entangled, that he had
to be ‘‘punched out with a stick.” The pigs and
hogs that have been to arc the “critter,” and lo
lest its efficacy, nave gone off with a grunt, mar
velling at the wonders which occur lit these days.

Om- of those rather peculiar geniuses known
upon the Apalachicola as timber fetters, went
down to the port of that name with a very valua
ble raft of cedar and other ehoiee t:mber that he
desired to ship ‘ for Cowes and a market,' or some
other town of equal importance. One of the re
quisites to obtain a clearance was lo tasks Cscr
uin oath before the Collector, for which purpose
he appeared before that dignity, who made out the
form of oath, which among other things stated—
'you do solemnly swear that tin part of this timber
now sought to be shipped by you, was cut up>n
th* public lauds of tic I nited States, ami—’
• Stop, stranger. What's that you say’—I must
take my solemn siBdavy lo that?"
' Y»*s.'
•• And that I can’t ship that raft of mine if 1
don’t.’
‘ Yes.'
• And does other fellers what comes down here
with raft* take that oath”
‘ Sometime*.’
• You may go ahead, stranger—I can't base that
timber—it has got to be shipped, anv w*v you can
St it.’
• Uncle Sam’s land,’ said he, as lie walked o(T.
af’.- r taking the oath—‘ how in thunder do I know
where his lutes run. I reckon that oath is nothing
but form no now.’
!/• A formal old gentleman, finding hi* horse
uneasy under the saddle, alighted ami called U>
hi# servant in the following manner: ‘ Tom, take
oil the saddle, which is upon my bay hoist aud lay
it up'u (he ground; then take th“ saddle front thL
gr. > hors*., aud put it upon my hay borne; lastly,
put the other saddle upon the grey horse.’’ The

ton, laying down the paper, “ there’s the State of

THE »KB( Ft'.
A COMICAL—BY “ JLNGO.”
For nearly fortv yc ir«,
My old friend. Abel Sears.
Kn luted the tortures of a single life,
Not having courage to lead up a wife.
To the hymeneal alter,
For fear the nuptial haltnr
MigM set uncomfortably tight, or ruin him :
And as he grew m age. this weakness grew in
him.
A nervous man was Abel—fond of quiet.
As “ Friends" hate ala tighter,
Th« devil holy water-*- ^
Or, to employ a more eapreaaive trope,
" As eats hate soap ”’
I mean to aay that Abel hated poise
Of every sort, but most of all the roiee
Of " little pledges” taken rather ybuns—
And the “eternal clack of woman'a tongue !”
Everything is changed—eveept had bills,
The stupid style of legal allegations.
And other kinds of sublunary ilia.
The poet sings, “ the world is full of change,"
And yet, *tis very likely, had bis range
Of vision scanned his own consumptive purse, |
And doctors know no atropv that's worse)
He could, s« doubt, have told ua in a minute
That he had found a place with no Vchange” .
in it!
Well, among all the special changes brought
About by men, a wondrous change was wrought
In Abel hears—who, tiring of celibacy,
Took to himself, one summer’s day, anb, ye see !
"In short," our bachelor acquaintance, Abel,
Got fairly married to Miss pnly Babel,
A lean and lathy lass, with leathern lungs—
A sort of human keg of “ sounds and tongues P* (
For many years friend Abel's precious wife
Led him (of course she did!} a happy life f
That is to say. no quarrels e'er occured
Between the pair, that I have ever heard :
And I’ve resided, mind you, all the while
In hearing distance—namely, half a mile It
Bui Folly had one fault that sore perplexed him,
Anil ’tis no wonder that it should have vexed him ;
Sbe would anticipate
What you would fain relate.
Either to prove she'd heard it all before ye,
Or else to show her wonderful sagacity
In guessing at it with so much veracity !
0noth Abel to himself one cloudy night.
Musing, like Socrates, on “ wrong'’ and “ wright,”
“ This habit of my wife’s—1 can't endure u— I
Egad ' I'll try to either kill or cure it 1"
Nest day at dinn-r, while each cater swallows
llis share of meats.
Bread, beans, and beets,
Abel began to talk somewhat as follow :—
“ T i.it was, my dear, a very me'tancholv,
Atrocious case of a murder—warn’tit Folly”’
• Murder!" exclaimed the woman, with a stare,
' 1 hay’at heard of any, 1 declare
“ Well, then, you know the butcher, Mr. Corning,
Who iivcs up town ’—well, ma'am, this very i
morning-"
'• A m st abandoned man : upon tny life
t thought ’twas him observed the sapient wife.
“ Well, ma’am, white he was busy at hut trade, i
A tny of five years old around him played,

Story of A First kiss.
The following Intle story, by Miss Bremer, is
farn shell to Nariain’s Magazine. For its truth sail
reality she says she will be responsible:
In the University of Up&ala, in Sweden, lived a
young student—a lonely youth, with a great love
for studies, but without means for pursuing them,
lie was poor and without connections. Stilt lie 1
studied, living m great poverty, but keeping a
cheerful heart, and trying not to look at the fu- |
litre, which looked so grimly at him. His good
humor and good qualities made him beloved by
his young comrades.
Once he was standing with some of them in the
icreat square of Upssla. prating away an hour of
leisure, when the atten'mn of the young men be- !
came arrested by a very young and elegant lady,
who at the side of uu elderly one, walked slowly
over the place. It was the daughter of the Gov
ernor of Upland, living in the city, and the lady!
with her was her governess. She was generally 1
known tor tier beauty, and far her goodness and j
gentleness of character, and was looked upon with |
great admiration by the students. As the young j
man n >w stood silently gazing at her, as she pass i
ed on tike a graceful vision, one of them exelaitn
ed— _ - ■ j,
“ \\ ell, it would be worth something to have a
kiss fr »m such a mouth?'’
The porf young student, the hero Of onr story, !
who w as looking intently on that pure and amretic
face, ecclaniK-d, as if by aspiration, “ Well, 1 think
I could have it.” .
“ What!” cried his friends in a ehyis, "are
vou crazy? I>o you know her?” etc.
“ Not at ait," ho answered; “but I think she
would kiss Bic, just now, it 1 asked her.”
“ VViiiit! m this place, before all our eves’" j
“ In this place, before all your eyes."
“ Freely ’’
“ Freely?”
" Well, if she will give you a kiss in that man
ner, 1 will give you a thousand dollar ?" exclaim
ed one of the party.
“ And 1?”
“ Aud I V cried three or four others, for it so 1
happened that several nth young men were m the
group, and bets ran high on so improbable an event,
aud the challenge was made and received in less
time than we take to relate it.
Our hero—my authority tells not whether he was
handsome or plain— t liave my peculiar reasons
for believing that he war rather plain, but smgu-'
larly good looking at the same time—our hero un
mediately walked off t<> meet the young lady. He
bowed to her, and said, “ My iwsly minlroleen.;
my fortune is in your hand." She looked at bun ,
in astonishment, but arrested her steps, lie pro
ceeded to state hi* name and condition, his aspira
tion, and related simply and truly what had just
passed between hiui and his torapaaunia. The
youug lady listened alteativcly, aud when he had,
censed to speak she said, Mushing, but with great j
sweet ness—
“ If by so little a thin* no much give! ran be ef
fected, it would be looiu.li in me to refuse your re
quest”—and she kissed the young man publicly
in the open square.
Neat day, the you tie student was sent for by the .
Uon-tuoT. lie wanted to mu the man who had'
dared to ask a kisa-of his daughter in that way, |
and whom she had i\on»ente<l to kiss so. lie re-,
reived him with a severe and scrutinizing brow,
hut after an hour's conversation, was so pleased
with hua that tie offered imn to dine at hts table |
dunug his studies in Upnala.
Our young fueud now pursued Iu3_studies in a.
wanner which soon made him regarded as the'
m»t i^ow..sing scholar at the University. Three
years were not passed after the day at the hr",
kiss, when the’young man was allowed to give a
second one to the daughter of the Governor, as toi
his intended bnde.

I .on is Philippe.
A volume of extraordinary biographical reve
lations has been lately published. It I* called
“The Public and Private Life of Louis Philippe
from his Birth Ui thedow of lies Reign ; By L. i».
Michaud.” It e i thick ertiivo of five hundred
clone printed page*, going into great deUu of ru
markatde events. Michaud was for rosriv years
intimate with Lmiis Philippe ; served under him
in the amrv ami was all In* file in a ponmoa to
obarm bun carefully. He draws a most atrocious
character for the unfortunate wouarch—doe* not
allow him one single virtue—and connects km h«
torv with mauv horrible incidents. But the most
cartons part of the work is that tu winch the au
thor collects a v ist number of documents to atm*’
that Louis Philippe was not a Bourbon. The story -
in belief is this: that Philippe Egalit*, the repu
ted father of Louis Philippe, exchanged aa inant
daughter of his, for the infant son of a low jailer,
with whom he had formed an acquaintance in
Italy, in order to preveut Ins family estates troin

her indicated that she was of different blood.—
Her wit and precocity astonished every one. Be
fore she had completed her seventeenth year, she
so captivated Lord Newberglt, a British nobleman,
then travelling in lUHy. that he made bet his
her to it homo of splendor on the hanks of the (
Thames. By his marriage she had several children,
one of whom is new an English Peer. On me

feited a great pait on her marriage with a Russian j
nobleman, the Baron tie .Stenberg. With firm she ■
lived for several years in fTe.it style in Si. 1‘e ers

death of Chiappim, whom she still regarded as
her father. This man, before ins de**h addressed
a letter to her. which allured her"*. lUsuny, i
and troubled the remainder of her sUj.,.
This letter earned her to Purjg.aua engaged her
in a long scries of ri-ficulous intrigues to prove I
that she, and not Lonts Phtllippe, was the true heir
of ttie Orltans branch of the Bourbons. Her story |
made a great noise, but nearly gamed her a doini-1
cite in the mad house. We will letM. Michaud
tetl the conclusion of the tale for himself:
Pecuniary temptations were presented to her in 1
the most insidious manner by Louis Phiinpe s •
agents, but she resisted all with a pride truely
worthy of royalty. Convinced that she was the
daughter ofYhe Duke of Orteans, nothing short of
a full recognition of her rights as such, would
satisfy hs-r. Her statue, mien, awl inn ncta, wm
her •*oice testified to this distinguished origin. All
impartial uic-n listened with admiration to her for
ribl. assertion of her claims. It was searecly pos
sihie to listen without being periumitd ot theu
just ce. Sb- bote a suiting resemblance to Mad
ame Adelaide, the Duke’s sister, while the fea
tures of the latter vividly recalled to her reputed
father the jailer. It is even said that on one occa

pictrait of Liuis Phtllippe, cried several tunes,
Phiappini ’ Papa Chiappimf The Marquess was
vexed by th;s incident. The police, who were I
ever on her tra> k. wlm did #1! m ttieii power to
prevent the circ jla.iou of her uicmu.i* threatened
her repeatedly with imprisonment. It is a stran.-r
fact that Louis XVIII and Charles the X. not only
consented to. but originated at! those ataaienvres
against Ibe Baroness. Those Pr'utct - aeeue.d to

ceaselessly engaged in schemes which compassed 1
destruction. Tie: fail of the cbftr Bourbons and
the succession of Louis Pluuppe to hi» good cou- ,
sins, rendered the Bareness * position more than .
ever difficult. She was wore than once desired to ‘
return to Kngland. The intervention of th<* Am 1
bassador shielded tier irora prosccation: hut she 1
was now alone. The Baron derlU rubejtg bad con
ducted her favorite son hdward to Russia, so that,
her courage and consciousness of the justice of her1
claim formed her only protection against the • pies!
that surrounded her. Her memoirs having beou
seized, and the tribunals of justice closing against
her by the ruling powers, whose tool* they then
were, they ended by pronouncing her road: the only
pretext for this calumny being a peculiar (aucy
which she bad for feeding some birds which flew ,
to het windows Inna the gardens of the fuilcnc*.
