“LEAVEUSNOT."
JEREMIAM, XIV, 9,
Leave us not: when first the night
Fleets before the dawning ray ;
When the still increasing hight
Ushers in the perfect day :
When by youth’s quick impnise led,
We thro' paths with peril fraught,
Heedless not of the dangers, tread—
'«.'GJ;'-'-II Guardian ! leave us not.
When the fervid nooniide burne
On the faint, world-wearied breast;
And the languid vision tarns
Vainly for #ome place of rest;
When our life's meridian cares
Leave the heart no sacred spot,
Free from doubts and toils and snares—
Shelt’ring Refuge leave us not.
When the day’s declining beam,
Oer our dark’ning path is thrown ;
And, like evening shadows seem
Cherishied hopes, more distant grown ;
When the little light grows less,
In the honr of anxious thought,
Faltering step and fecbleness—
Strenugth o"‘Huvm ! leave us not.
And when midnght fills the skies
With impenetiable gloom ;
When before us darkly lies
All the mystery of the tomb ;
When life’s sund'ring chords untwine
All we loved or valued aught—
Star of Hope ! upon us shine:
Savionr ! leave—(), leave us not.
A CURIOUS LOVE LETTER.
Mananm, ; ;
Most worthy of estimation,
After \nn‘ consideration,
And much meditation,
Of the great reputation,
You possess in the nation,
1 have u stroug inclination,
To hecome your relation.
On your approbation,
Of this declaration,
1 shall make preparation,
Te remove my situation,
To a more convenient station,
To tro'.“ my sdmiration,
And if such obiation,
Is worthy of acceptation,
And can obtain commiseration,
It will be an aggrandization,
Bevond all ealculation,
Of Yours, SANE DISRIMULATION
THE LADY'S ANSWER.
Hin,
1 parused your oratlon,
With much delibera’ion,
And a little consternation,
Of the great infatuation,
Of your weak imagination,
To show such veneration,
On so slight a foundation,
But after examination,
And serious contemplation,
I suppose your admiration,
Was the fruit of recreation,
And had sprung from ostentation,
To dilpll‘i‘ vour education,
By an odd ennumeration,
Or rather multiphioation,
Of worde of the same termination,
Thongh of great variation,
1n each respective signification.
Now without disputation,
Your laborious application,
In so tedions an oceupation,
Deserves commiseration,
And thinking imitation,
A sufficient gratification,
1 am without hesitation,
Yours, MARY MODERATION.

A TALE OF TRUTH.
BY FRANCIS A. DURIVAGE.
Chapter I.
THE BOHEMIANS.
SCARCELY twenty-five vears since, at the
close of a summer aliernoon, the following
scene passed ina public pleasure garden in the
environs of the city ol Prague. ln the centre
of a small grass plot stood a group of Bohemi
anmnstrels whose picturesque costume, half
gipsey. haif-bandit, was well calculated to fix
thie attention of the observer. Some of the
figures of this group were pecultar and inter
esting. There was a mild, blue-eyed old man,
with hoary tresses and reverent beard, who
might have sat for the portrait of a Welsh or
Gaelic bard. DBeside him stood a girl of fif
teen, graceful, slender and elegant in figure,
with eyes of the decpest blue, and rich gold
en hair that seemed to have canght and im
prisoned the sunbeams in its meshes. She
wore a wreath of forest leaves upon her head.
Her shapely bust was euclosed in a tught-fit
ting jacket of carmine velvet laced with gold
cord. In her gold girdle she wore a small
silver-hilied poiguard. The bright blue skirt
of her dress was short enough 10 disclose a
pair of exquisitely symmetrical ankles. Her
expression was one ol winning mildoess and
innocence. In her left hand she held a tam
borine which she touched occusionally with
her right, as an accompaniment to thesingiog
of her companions. A number of persons had
gather round the Bohemians to listen 1o their
melody, which was really fine, There was
the Ausirian huzzar, with his rich white man
tle, his fur cap, gold-seamed pantaloons and
tasseled and spurred boots: the student with
his long. wild hair and uncouth moustaches;
the portly burgher and his comlortable wife.
“T'here is a trifle for you," said a huzzar,
toesing @ small coin into the maiden's tambo
rine. *But |l would makeit tentimes as large,
if I could hear a solp from the pretty yunge
fraw.’
*Ay " ay !" said a travelling student, taking
his pipe frow his bearded lip; ‘*a song from the
maiden, by all neans.’
The young girl looked frightened at being
thus singied out, and clung to the old man
with the beard.
‘Fear not, my child,” said the oid minstrel.
*“Thou caost warble well our humble ditry.—
Do not gainsay the wishes of our generous
friends.
The young girl cast ber eyes upon the
ground, and then raised them ou high as if
seeking courage aud inspiration. She pres
sed her little hand vpon her heart as if to still
its beatings, then with afluttering voice which
gained strength as she proceeded, she began
1o sing a very beautiful national air. At first
her execution was like that of a caged bird,
but finally her notes were poured forth with
the force, the buoyancy, the thrilling euergy
of the same bird, liberated from its dungeon
and filling the blue arch of heaven with its
songs of lioerty. i
When the songstress had ended, the brief
silence of entrancement was broken by rapt
uious applause. Money wasshowered on the
tamborine and every tongue was loud 1n praise
of the music.
A wmiddle-aged and richly-dressed gentle
man beckoned to the old Bohemian whom
we have noticed, and led him apart,
*Who is this youug girl 1" asked the gentle
man. ‘ls shie your daughter
*No meinberr. She is the davghter of a
brother musician, who died shortly afier los
iug his wife—she is an orphan.’
*Then she belongs to no one Y’
*T'o no one. We have adopted hLer into
our bao, and she brings money 1o the gener
al purse.’ e :
‘I | were to pay you a liberal sum of mon
ey, to reimburse you for the loss of her ser.
vices, would you object to my taking her with
me, snd giving her a good education
*Not io the least," replied the old man.—
*‘She is slender and delicate ; the wandering
aud precarious life we lead, is not for such as
Ler. - Take ber and welcome.!
The proposal was next made to the youn
girl, but it required argument, eotreaty nns
expostulation to induce her to consent to
leave the litle bund of minstrels who Lad bee
#o kiod to her, snd who had soothed the lust
momeuts of her parents. At last, however,
she yielded to her her love of art wud her
thirst for instruction, and entered the carriage
of her pew friend. The astonishment of the
spectators, who were not in the secret, was
very great when they saw the youug Bohemi
an drive off as the tiavelling compan 01 of
gentleman who wae evidently both rich and
well-bred. The huzzar who had eliciied the
soug. snd who had promised bimsell much
pleasure from an acquaintance with the sing
er, shouk his bead and (wirled his moustache.
The student sat down gloomily upon a bench
and soon disappearcd in a cloud of tobacco
smoke, while the rest of the company resum
ed their various amusements,
Chapter 11,
THY. PRIMA DONNA'S TRIUMPH.
On a fine winter evening, the streets of
Berhin were brilliant with the flashing lamps
of cariiages, whose continuons rattle and roar
reverberated among the stately houses of the
Prossian capital. All were hurnryving in one
direction—to the npera-house. The tickers
for this night had «ll been disposcd of, at a
very early houry many of them had been sold
again at enormous prices, and 1t was even
romored that some of the most distinguish
ed people had obtained their billets a'entrec by
a happy forgetfulness of the difference be
tween meum and tuum. Surrounded by a crowd
of splendid cavalry the royal carriage drove
up to the opera house, and Frederick Wil
liam made his way to his box with all the en
pressement of w youthful amatenr. What was
the occasion of this extraordinary tumult T
W hat had brought the king, the noble the fair,
the brave and the talanted ot the capital insuch
w throng to the opera house? The debut of
a new singer.
The curtain went up. We forget the name
of the opera=it may have been Giovanni, or
the Guzza Ladra, or L' Ltaliani in Algeri—but
itmatters not. All thoughts were concentra
ed on the prima donna. She came upon the
stage, a young girl radient with the glorious
beauty of seveateen. ‘l'he palpitations of her
heart were almost visible.
80 eweet the blush of bashfulness,
E’en pity #carce could wish it less,
It was long before she could command her
voice. At lust it burst forth, and its liguid
and delicions tones thnlled through every
heart, 1t was the wild, brilliant, original vo
calization of nature—it had nothing of the
mechanical beauty of the schools. Thesong
of the fair young girl seemed borrowed from
the nightingale warbling to the rose, from the
fountain playing upon marble, from the breeze
whispering among the leaves, from the gush
ing melody of the wild unfettered monntain
brook. It was joyous or sad, soothing or
thriling, like the voires of nature. At last
the cantatrice paused : and the whole house
burst forth in one thunder of acclamations,
the king setting the example. Wreaths and
houquets were thiown upon the stege—mad
dening vivats rvent the air.
It was in the midst of these demonstrations
of complete and hrilliant success thata gentle
man of middle age, dressed with great care
and taste, entered a private box, where an in
dividonul of distinguished appearance was seat
cd wlone.
*Well, what do you think of her, my lord '
asked the gentleman.
“T'hink of her! she is a bird of paradise—
she is ungelic=—divine! Where did you pick
her up
‘Amoog 2 band of Bohemians. Has she
not done credit to my trainiog ¥’
*To your training !" repeated the zount dis
dainfully. *Why, mao, nature is her teachor
She belongs veither to the Frepch, Germao
nor ltalian schools.'
‘“Well, to mv taste in selection, then.'
‘Granted. But you must intreduce me to
this new divinity. 1 suppose she is as caprni
cious and mercenary as her sister nymphs of
the opera.’
‘By no meauns. my lord. Brilliant as she is
in public, she is fitted to be an orpament to
the most honorable private circle in the king
dom.’
*You pique my curiosity,' said the count,
‘and to-morrow you must present we to your
lovely and fascinating pupil.’ |
‘1 will not fail you,' replied the other, as he
bowed and retired.
Chapter 1L
THE CARNIVAL BAL)L ANDATS RESULTS.
From Berlinto Paris—trom theopera house
of the former to the miterior of the grand opera
of the latter, is but a step for the writer and
reader. We are in Pans 1o caroival time, at
a bal masque. Look around you=is this vot
a magnificent, and at the same time a starding
and bewilderiug spectacle? Youcannot count
the lamps that blaze like the countless stars
of heaven, iu the muluplied chandeliers and
lustres that make this miduight brighter than
day. What a sea of fuces, or rather of demi
laces, for almost every one ils masked, surges
about you from the platform to the ceiling !
On the floor whatstrange kaleidescope group
ings of soldiers, ogres, pierrots, debardeurs
and dominos! What eftrontery ! what wit!
what wild gayety ! But hark; the wand of
Musard lightly taps his desk, aud a deluge of
music pours forth from the instruments of two
hundred musicians. The tide of melody fiils
the hall=mounts to the ceiling, and carries
away all within its votex. As il whelined and
wrecked iu this maelstrom of inusic the whole
interior is in motion. Men aund women scize
each other and whirlround in the mad, unbrid
led waliz. Wotothefaint heartand the falter
ing foot! The presiureand impetusof the mass
is 90 great that he or she who falls is lost. So
on they go, and round they go, shouting,
shrieking and laughing, strange cries and ex
clamations mingling with the crash of drums
l and trombones, and the invigorating notes of
| violins and flutes.
| At last the music ceased, and the dancers
| enjoyed a briel iuterval of repose. Some re
tired vanquished from the field. Others re
mained 1o win new laurels at (he next trum
pet call.
A lady, dressed in a light pink domino, and
| weariug a Llack velvet mask, walked somewhat
| apart trom the denser groups of masqueraders.
EA gentleman, masked, and completely dis
| guised in a Spanish cloak and hat, approach
| ed her; ang employing the privilege every
L one has of addressing whom he pleases at
| these carrival balls, said :
‘Beau masque, do you know me !
‘1 know you not; ueither did | come here
to form acquaintantance.’
‘Butyou are alove. You need a protector,’
‘My own heart is a sufficient protector.—
Leive me sir. I would remain a spectator,
solitary and unknown.'
‘Unknown you cannot re.nain—unless you
are more cautious when and where you raise
your mask for a breath of air. Besides, the
voice, that, aflter seiting all Berlin and Vienna
crazy, has worked the same miracles on the
PParisians, is a traitor to your wish. Wy love
it too dearly not to recoguoize its tones.'
The prima dovua sighed—‘my unhappy
voice! Can | never taste a moment's quiet
peace and happiness I’
*Would you relinquish the stage witl all its
honors (or the quietude of private life 1
‘I would, indeed !" exclaimed the prima
douna, clasping her hands.
‘Well, sard the mask. ‘in a few years you
can realize your wishes.'
‘lnu few years! in a few years!' repeated
ti e prima donna. birtterly.
‘Well theu, listen to me," said the stranger.
‘I ean tuke you from the stage—and | can en
dow you with wealth. Look,' he continued,
displaying a mugoificent necklace, *this is an
evidence of my wealth. Each of these dia
monds is worth & ducal eoronet. 1 love you
~love you madly—be mine—and vot a wish—
or whim of yours shall remain ungratificd.’
*You say yon are rich.’
‘Ay and of high rank.”
‘And what would your friends say, if you
married a low born girl, however great hLer
reputation or talent 1’
‘I spoke not of marriage, madam,’' replied
the gallant. *There are lighter chains than
those of matrimony.’
‘Begoue, sir ' said the prima donna. *Do
not insult my ears with language like this.—
I'houghinso wild a scene, | thought that [ was
speaking with a gentleman.’
He luid his hand upon her arm.
‘Unhand me, sir,’ she continuea, ‘or 1 will
call for assistance.’
‘Would yon not see the face of him who
has offended e ?
‘No! yet stay=l should like to know you,
and hold you up to ridicule and contempt.’
“I'he gentleman raised his mask for a mo
memt—the prima donna uttered a faint cry.
‘Count = here,' she said.
‘Yes, dearest, | followed vou from Beilin
hither; and 1 some disguise or other hive
watched you ever since.’
‘Conld you be so snspicrions of me, and re
: sorttosuch unworthy means of assuring your
'sell ' asked the lady, in a tone of mild re-
Cproach.
‘Hear me,’ replied the nobleman, who wis
the same person of whom we had a glimpse in
the opera-hox at Berlin, *When, atter satis
(ying wysell of the feelings with which yon
regarded me, | asked our gracions monarch,
Frederick William, to ssnction our union ;
'he replied, ‘Nobility may wed genius. Hhith
i erto this glorious ereature has been irreproach
able—but she nust go through the fiery or
deal o Puris, where she wlil be subjected to
every temptation, hefore her eharacter can be
established. Do you follow her thither, and
if ghe be equal to the test, we pledge our roy
al word that our consent shall follow ! It
was therefore in obedience to the king, that |
consented to play the spy, and notfrom a grov
elling und ungenerous jealousy.” This ex
planation was acceptable. ‘
At the conclusion of her engagement in
Puris, our prima donna returned to Berlin
Shortly after her ariival the king honored her
with an audience, and received her very gra- ‘
ciously.
“The count is a fine fellow,” said he, *and I
will make you a good husband. You bring |
him talent and beauty, Lie is liberal in return ; |
but that you may meet on equal terms we
have this day issued letters of nobilty which
even befure your marriage will make you equal |
to the count.’ |
The prima donna was overwhelmed ut this
generosity and condescension, and retired from
the king's presence. her eyes suflused with
tears ol joy and grulllude.
In a few days the nuptisls were celebrated
in a style of most regal splendor, and were
honored even by the presence of the king.—
None of the proudest of the pobles who gazed
upon the mild and lovely conntenance of the
brile, remembering at the same time the great
ness of her heaven bestowed talent and the
purty of her heart,dared to blame their broth
er count for his cloice, while many envied
his happiness.
Twenty vears of joy and peace have show
ed the wisdom of his selection, and now strip
ped of his honors and his fortune, the count
forgets the former, and finds a sure means of
redeeming the latter in the talent of his wife,
for the countess has retnrned 1o the stage.
Reader, we said that this was a tale of truth,
The vobleman we have spoken of above was
Count Rossi—and the Bohemian girl, the pri
ma donoa, the countess, was go other than
Mademoiselle Sontag.
THE FIGHTING CAPTAIN.
A NEW WAY OF ENLISTING RECRUITS.
Theie is no class of people for which the
countrymen of the Southern States have so
great an aversion asthose wearing fine clothes,
and there 1s no surer way of becoming unpop
ular with them than going among them dres
wed fashiopably. This aversion extended as
[ar back as the Revolutionary War, as the fvl
lowing incident will show.
Dauring the Revolution, a Capt E., a mem
ber of one of the first families in Chacleston,
having lost in a skirmish most of his men,
went into the juterior of Bouth Carolina for
he purpose of enlisting recruits. Having ap
pointed a rendezvous, Le spent a day or two
i looking around the country. At the ume
and place appointed he found a large number
of persous assembled, not one of whom would
euhist. After several hours spent to no pur
pose, he appointed a meeting for the next day
and left the ground, Neet duy came and with
it the sume crowd ; but he met wih no het
ter success than the day before. What could
be the watter? 1t was the fust ume during
the war that a recruiting ofticer had been en
tirely unsuccessful. Something must be wroog |
and he determined to kvow where it was,—
Calling one of the rustics aside, he asked: ‘
“Why is it | can get no recruite?’
Youdon'tthink answered the countryman, |
‘that we are goin® to "list under such a lovkin'
man as you are ! Yoo are dressed 100 fire
to be anything of a fighter.' i
In those days *kuee brecches,” and silk stock- |
ing were fashionable, and the Captain was |
diessed in that style; there lay his nnpopu- |
larity. e turned to the countryman and
said : ',
*So you object to my dress, do you? Very
well, come here to-murrow, and I'll have re
cruits.’ ‘
Next day the same crowd had assembled,
anxious to know what new idea the “Jandy
captain’ had in his head, After the crowl
had collected, Capt. E. stepped ot and said
o a clear and distinet voice :
- ‘My (riends. I understand you object to me
‘because | am dressed a litde finer than youi
selves,” You think Lam unable to fight on that
account, Now | wish to make ¢ proposition
to you. L wili whip as many of youn as will
‘come gut, one at a time, with the understand
ing that each man is to enlist after he is whip
~ped. Piek your men and send them out.’
- After a short censultation, a large broad
'shouldered fellow came out. Capt. E. drew
L off his coat very coolly. He was a lurge und
well built man, and a superior boxer. The
| countryman rushed up intending to *brush
out' the captain in a very few mimutes. He
mistook s iman and soon measured his length
con the grass,
| A greater bully than the first stepped out
(o take his plice, and soon *took lis place’ on
the grass. The countrymen stared, They
had no idea such a looking man could fight.
' He had, however, enlisted two men, and must
(be allowed to govo farther. The bully of the
icroud stepped out to take the gentleman in
'hand. He was a stout fellow weighing about
| 180 pounds, and bragged that he had never
been winpped. He, however knew nothing
| about boxing. and very soon followed his cou:-
| pinions. Never was a crowd so uiterly con
"ounded! T'hree of their best men whipped
by a misn from the eity ! T'hey could hardly
Lrealize it, and stood perfectly motiontess,
‘Well, my friends, are you satisfied? |
have enlisted three of your best men, | suppose
you have wo objections to fullowing their ex
ample.
‘Not a bit of ir," said one of the crowd,
syou'llduto tie to, old fellow. Come boys, fall
They did so, and in a short time Captain E.
had his company filled, and offers of more
than he could find room for.— Yunkee Blade.

CAUTION EXTRA.
A wan by the name of CLAPP has eugaged with
young man of the name of 8. P, Townsend, and uses his
same to put up a Sarsaparilla, which they eall Dr, Town
send's Sarsaparilla, denominating it @ ENUINE, Original,
ete. This Townsend Is no doctor, and never was; but was
formerly o worker on railroads, canals, and the like. Yethe
assames the title of Dr., for the purpose of gaining credit for
what he is not This is to caution the public not to be
deceived, and purchase none but the @ ENUINE ORIGF
NAL OL.D Dy, Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, having on
1t the Old Dr's. likeness, his fumily coat of arms, aud hie
signature across the cont of anns,
Principal Offic ), 102 Nugsau-st., New York City |
THE ORIGINAL DISCOVERER OF THE
Geuuine Townsend Sarsaparilla.
Old Dr. Townsend is now about 70 years of age, and has
long bunrkm»wn as the AUTHOR and DISCOVERER
of the GENUINE ORIGINAL * TOWNSEND SAR
SAPARILLA." Being poor, he was compelled to limit its
manuafacture, by which means it has been kept out of mar
ket, and the sales circumscribed to those only who had
proved its worth, and known its value. It had reached
the ears of many, nevertheless, as those r-nonl who had
been healed of sore diseases, and saved from death, pro
claimed its excellence and wonderful
HEALING POWER.
Knowing, many ycars cfo. that he nad, by his skill,
science and experience, devised an article whk‘n would be
of incalculable advantage to mankind when the means
would be furnished to bring it into universal notice, when
its inestimable virtues would be known and appreciated.
This time has come, the means are supplied ; this
@RAND AND UNEQUALILED PREPARATION
is manufactured on the largest scale, and is called for
throughout the length and hreadth of the land, especially
as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration,
Unlike young 8. P. Townsend’s, it improves with age, and
mever changes, but for the better ; because it Is prepared on
scientific principles by a scientific man. The blg#neu knowl
edge of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the art,
bhave all been brought into requisition in the manufacture
of the Old Dr's Barsaparilla. The Barsaparilla root, it }s
well known to medical men, contains many medicinal pro
perties, and some properties which are inert or useless, and
others, which if retained in preparing it for use, produce
‘oonnuuuuu and acid, which Is injurious to the system.
me of the properties of Sarsaparilla are so velatile, that
they entirely evaporate and are lost in the preparation, i
lhel are not preserved by a scientific proccss, known only
to those experienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these
wolatile principles, which fly off in vapor, or as an exhala
tion, under heat, are the very essential medical properties
of the root, which give to it al! its value.
Any person can boll or stew e root till they get a dark
eolored liquid, which is more from the coloring matter in
the root than from any thing else; they can then strain
this insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses,
and then call it “SARSAPARILLA EXTRACT or BY
RUP.” But such is not the article knowr as the
GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND’S
SARSAPARILLA. .
This is so prepared, that ull the inert properties of the
Barsaparilla root are first removed, every thing capable of
becoming acid or of fermentation, is extracted and rejected ;
then every particle of medical virtue is secured in a pure
and concentrated form ; and thus it is rendered incapable of
losing any of its valuable and healing properties. Prepared
in this way, it is made the most powerful agent in the
Cure of innumerable diseases.
Hence the reason why we hear commendations on on?
side in its favor by men, women, and children, We find it
doing wonders in the cure of
CONSUMPTION, DYSPEPSIA, and LIVER COM
PLAINT, and in RHEUMATISM, SCROFULA,
PILES, COSTIVENESS, nll CUTANEOUS ERUP-
Tlg.\v‘ur. PIMPLES, BLOCTHES, and all affections
ng from
IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD.
It possesses a marvellons etlicacy in all complaints arisi
from Indigestion, from Acidity of the Stomach, from llnequ:
circulation, determination of blood to the head, Kalpnunlon
of the heart, cold feet and hands, cold chills and hot flashes
over the body. It has not its equal in Colds and Coughs ;
and promotes easy expectoration and gentle perspiration,
relaxing stricture of the lungs, throat, and every other part,
But in nothing is its excellence more manifestly seen and
acknowledged thun in all kinds and stages of
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
It works wonders in cases of Fouor Albus or Whites, Full
ing of the Womb, Obstructed, Suppressecd, or Painful Menses
Irregularity of the menstrual periods, and the like; ln‘
I 8 as effectual in curing all the forms of li’n’alne‘ Discases,
By removing obstructions, and regulating the gencnl
:‘mm. it gives tone und strength to the whole body, and
us cures all forms of E
Nervous diseases and debility,
and thus prevents or relleves n great variety of other iala
dies, as Spinal irritation, Neuralgia, St. Vitnus' Dance,
Swooning, Epileptic F.ts, Convulsions, &c.,
It cleanses the blood, excites the liver to healthy action,
tones the stomach, ana gives good digestion, relieves the
bowels of torpor and e, stipation, allays inflammation,
purifies the skin, equalises t#\. circulation of the blood
producing gentle warmth equally all over the body, and
the insensible perspiration ; relaxes nil strictures nnd tight
pess, removes all obstructions, and invigorates the entire
nervous system. Is not this then
The medicine you pre-eminently need ?
But can any of these things be wuid of 8 P. Townsend's
Inferior article ? I'his young man's lnSml is m.r’fl» e

POUND” OF 8. P 'OWNSEND,
and yet he would fuin have it understood that Old Dr, Jacob
Townsend's Genuine Original Sarsaparilla, is an IMITA
TION of his inferior preparation ! !
Henven forbid that we should deal in an article whieb
would bear the most distent resemblance to 8, P, Town
send’s article! and which should bring down upon the Old
Dr. such a mountain lond of complaints and criminations
from Agents who have sold, and purchasers who have used
B, P, Townsend's FERM HN'l‘l!\'(’; COMPOUND. |
We wish it understood, because it is the absolute truth,
that 8. P. Townsend's article and Old Dr. Jacob Towa
send's Barsaparilla are heaven-wide apart, and infinitely dis
#tmilar ; that they are unlike in every particular, having
no' one single thing in common.
As B, P.Townsend is no doctor, and never was, is no
chemist, no pharmaceutist—knows no more of medicine or
disease than any other common, unscientfic, unprofessional
man, what guarantee can the public have that they are re
ceiving a genunine scientific medicine, containing all the
| virtues of the articles used in preparing it, and which are in
| capable of changes which might render them the AGENTS
| of Disease instead of health,
But what else should be expected from one who Kknows
| nothing comparatively of medicine or discase ! Itrequires
| & person of some experience 1o cook and serve up even a
| common decent meal. How much more important is it that
the persons who manufacture medicine, designed for
l ¥
} WEAK STOMACHS AND ENFEEBLED SYSTEMS,
should know well the medical properties of plants, the
best manner of securing and concentrating their healing
virtues, also an exrensive knowledge of the various diseases
| which affect the humun system, and how to adapt remedies
10 these diseases !
| It is to arrest frauds upon the unfortunate, to pour balm
| In wounded humanity, to kindle hope in the despairing
| bosom, 1o restore health and bloom, and vigor into the
crushed and broken, and to banish infirmity that OLD DR,

SILAS C HERRING, New York.
A TRIAL was made before a Committee of eminent Mer
chants at the foot of Wall stiect, New-York, for the
gurposc of toutin’ the fire-proct qualties of Wilder’s Patent
alamanderr Safe, as comparcd with those claimed for
Jesse Delnne’s, €. J, Gayler’s Patent Double, and Beutt’s
Patent Asbestos SBufe. The suljoined extiact ficim the
Commitiee’s Report, with the vawes of the gertlomen who
rendered that decisive verd ctattached, presents clearly ni.d
concisely the result of tl e experanent,
EXTRACT,
The above was a fair trial, and was tous a couvineing
i roof of the superiority of the Salamander #afe over all oth
ers; and considering that it was exposed to an intense heat
for a period of eight hours, while ench of the others were
destroyed by the same heat in less than two hovis, We
have no hesitation in saying, thot we consuler Wilder's
Salamandcr Safe really fire-proof, mnd afford v perfeet se
curity to bocks and papers in case <1 hie. We thcrefire
take much pleasure in making this statcment to the jullie,
and in recommending to them Wilder’s Patent Falanander
Eate, as fully om.llufilu their cantidonee.

CAUTION.
AB my Spanish Lustral and Medicated Hair Preservative
has acquired n high reputation, and is almost universal
lry used for promoting the growth and prescrving and Leauti
ying the hair, another article bas been Prought before the
public under the same nawme, but entively different in its
composition and effect, and [ Lereby cuution the public not
to be taken in by it, but always to mquire for “Casmnm #
Spanish Lustral’’ and use no other, if they wish to Le se
cure from deception. ‘I he ingrcdients, and a portion of
them can only be obtained from the Sparish markets, and
the manner of compounding the Lustral are kncwn only te
myself, the secret having been ecowmmunicated to me 19
rouu since by a distingu shed surgeon in Ed nburgh, Bco. .
and, and was by me introduced 1o the public for the fir ¢
time. My Spanish ustral may be known by its bright paold
en color, being free from all coloring matter which is al
ways injurioun to the bair, and I would caution the pnblic
not to use any article of red color for the hair, us it must
tend to injure it very inate: lully, and above ali to purcha:e
no article bearing the name of Spanish Lustral unless m
name is attuched to it, as all others are vile imitaticng, miy
culated to deceive thore who are unacquninted with the
enuine and highly approved Camm’s Fpanish Lustral.e
