Sinoe I had the fortune to use Dr. Hampton's Vege table Tincture my confidence is so strong that, in gratitude io the proprietors of said medicine, I beg you to present my respect* to them, and induce them to make it more publicly known aa a sure Rhxumatic cure. Having called on me on the 19th of April last, and teen me prostrated on my bed, useless in all my liaibs, you can appreciate nearly *s Well as myself the prompt relief I received from Dr. Hampton's Tincture, and I am positive had it not been lor your strong and forcible recommenda tions I should still have been in bed. It is really a pity this specific should not be ap proved b.r medical men, and like ftll patent drugs it should suffer tbe imputation the public generally giva to such preparations. I mytelf, who was al ways opposed to a patented specific, took this medi cin? with reluctance, and without ronfidenoe in it, and it was only through your disinterested, friendly recommendations, and my critical situation that in dn<xd me to-try this really beneficial Vegetable Tlnoture. You may inform Messrs. Mortimer A Mowbray that they are at liberty te make use of my name ia th< support of the good effects of Dr. Hampton's Vegetable Tincture, as it has cured me in five weeks of a chronic Irtfiammatory Rheumatism, contracted under tropical climate*, and of seven years'periodical duration. I have only used three bottles, and find 1 that even the deformed,parts of my hands are fast returning o their former natural appearance. I have been nnder the treatment of several phy sicians in London and Paris, without any apparent benefit; also, while in New Ycrk, having tried the Thompsonian and Homcepathic remedies, after hav ing been tormented with galvanic ba'teries, ool.j and aromatic baths, and hundreds of internal and external medicines, all to no effect, I am, so far, oured by this Hampton's Vegetable Tincture only. , Therefore, my -ear sir, accept of the assurance of gratitude, and believe me yout well wisher.

An Egyptian Lady She wore, first, a chemise of some thin white material, with loo?e sleeves, embroider-! ed round the edge, hanging over her hande; then a large pair of crimson silk trowsers, ao long and wide, that they entirely concealed her bare feet; then came a garment like the ?Turkish an eree, descending to the feet before hanging in a train behind, and opeuing at the sides, with long sleeves open from the wrist to the elbow, and failing back so as to display those of the chemise beneath. This (Tree's was made of crimson damask, and embroider ed all round the edge with block braidiog, and was confincd?not at the wrist, but over the hips?with an ? Indian shawl, wound two or three times round, and knotted before. The last was a jicket, reaching only to the waipt with half sleeves, made of exceedingly rich stuff or dark blue silk, embroidered all over a running pattern, with gold, and edged with' gold braiding and buttons Three large silver amulet-cases, containing charms, were huce over the shawl-girdle. The head-dress is the prettiest part of the Egyptian costume?and Sofia's was exceeding, ly rich. Her hair was divided into twenty or thirty small braids, hanging over her shoul ders, to the end of whicb are affixed three silk cords strung with gold coins of various kites wo rows of gold coins, as large as half-crown pieces laid close together, encircled her fore bead, and at each temple were suspended smaller ones, with an agate ornament in the middle. The back of her head was covered with a small tgyptian Fee, ornamented with a large Cfioors of solid gold, and bound on by a handkerchief of embroidered crape She wore two necklaces of large gold coins, thick ly strung together, and each individual piece of money suspended from a massive ornament in the form of a fish; one of these necklaces was long, and the other just encircled her throat; and between them was a string of btads of Egyptian agates, as large as birds' eegs, and strung together with golden links Her ear rings were of gold filigree, in the bhape of flowers; and her bracelets?of which she wore several?of massive gold and silver We oomputed that she carried about three hundred and fifty pounds on her person, in coins alone, without including her other or naments.?Mrs. Homer's Pilgrimage. Converting Indians. The following anecdotes illustrate the pro priety of giving barbarous nations the exam ples as well as the precepts of religion, mo wlity, and industry. A chief of one of the Worth American tribes was solicited to admit a -trench missionary to convert more of his subjects. "No," said the chief, "there are tn0 many converted there already; my praying subjects have aU of them forgot to pay me their taxes." J A British American priest attempting to convert an Indian, the inhabitant of the forest turned "hortupon him, and replied sharply: "When I find that the English are good bj xceans of the religion they profess, I will thet adopt the same When Igo to Quebec to sell myturs," continued the Indian, "the town people do not ask me to their houses, and en tertain me as we do them. When they visii our country, we kindle a fire to warm th< stranger, we spread a mat upon which viand; are heaped for his food, and when the hour o rest draws near, furs for his bed and his re pose. What is our return from the christians t J !DteL^ir b0U8e3 and eal1 for victual and drink, they inquire whether or not I hay got money to pay for them; and show me ai account of the expense, instead of taking i friendly farewell, when I am going to depart The fur merchant, of whose house I ealle< upon the babbath, told me he would transac no commercial business upon that holy day; a the same time, he hinted that he would no give me above a certain prioefor the furs. H went to ehuroh, at which I muoh rejoiced seeing the good things he was to hear migfa soften his heart, and induce him to give me more conscientious prioe. Having nothing t do, I went to church likewise; but the congre gation stared at me so tbat I went out agaii and waited at the church-door for my mei chant. I oould hear the priest speaking wit great *Vfebemence; no doubt, said I to myselj be is desiring them to be honest and fair i their dealings, both to their God and to th Indians Well, my merchant at last can out; I asked him if he would give me i higher prioe: to my astonishment be offered lees than before. .Now it was evident from tbia what 'be priest had been raying, and that rou christians g > to ohurch only to learn how to cheat the Indians in the pnce of beaver Principle?. Man, unlets he be guided and governed by principles which are deep rooted in the soul and unyielding, is a most forlorn creature. Without these he is contemptible, more de graded, more abject, than the beasts that per ish. Endowed with intelleotual capacity pofHBing a soul that ie destined " to outlive th*Wrs' ?set forward on the race-course of life by a spark of etherial fire, reinitiated by D;ety itself?he is capable of attaining his natural right, a rank but " little lower than the angels " Peculiarly exposed to fascin ating temptation ; beset around with difficul ties and dangers; prone as is human nature to err and oommit evil; there is no way by whieb be can maintain the dignity of hit nature un spotted exoept by drinking deep and imbibing thoroughly some tangible principles; and to these he must adhere with unswerving tena city ! These principles must be sought with out the preoinotsof his own bosom?they should be the deductions of the past experience of mankind, and the result is. they have their foundation in truth. With such principled tor a foundation, the toad of folly and corrup tion will not be his. Mankind have political as well as moral ob ligations resting on them, and they are not so disconnected as may seem at the first blush they are intimately entwined with each other', and a dereliction of the one involves the other to a certain extent. It is in vain to attempt to throw off either. Action, in referenoe to both, has its reward* and its punishments. We admit that moral obligations claim the first, and consequently the highest consideration ? " Be just and fear not; to all tfce ends thou aimest at be thy Country's, thy God's, and the truth " Next to the moral we rank bis poli tical obligation in importance, and in refer ence to them we would say, we should be as enduring as the heavens An Original Anecdote.?The Portland Ar gus relates that Capt. K.. a shrewd steamboat eaptfin from the State of Maine, eanght a ?' Jeremy Diddler on board his boat one day, as he was making from Boston to "downcast/* and pinned him up in go?d style. It seems the tellow laid a traverse to get clear of pay ing his fare, but insisted to the clerk that he had paid, but lost his ticket. " Whom did you pay?" asked the clerk, tie rather guessed it was the captain, so K. was summoned to the oonferenoe. ''Oh. yes, yes, ' said Captain K., "it ap pears to me I do recollect. Let me see; you gave me a five dollar bill!" U-V'es,'' says the Diddler, "I did." " And I gave you your change in half dol lar*, didn't I?" (The fare was only half a dollar?competition very high ) 44 Yes,"' says Jeremy,44 that's it?I recollect it perfectly.'' " Very well," says Capt. K., " I won't dis pute your word for anything?but if you please, I should tiic? to tee the luUv**V The fellow was tripped when he least ex pected it. He oould not produce the halves, and had te fork out his fare. ty In consequence of the great scarcity of mackerel this year, the prices of No. I's and 2 s have reached in Bos'on, the highest point for years, via : from $17 to $18 per bbl , and the prospects are that in the spring they will advance to $20. The English fishermen have done comparatively nothing this year, and the catch by the Massachusetts fishermen must fall off more than 60 per eent. from that of 1863. The business at many plaoee, such as Newburyport, Cohas^et, llingham. Ac., has been sa disastrous that another year it will probably be given up. and the whole business will finally ceotre at Gloucester. 15digestibility of Sour ? It isasserted by a late medical writer, that soup, with the ex ception of the vegetable matters and shreds of meat that float in it, is entirely indigestible in the stomachs of children. The stomach d gefts only solid food, even milk being coagu lated into a curd to undergo this process, and yet there are many farmers who have long sice given up the idea of raising fine calves on buy tea. who give their children soup for din ner, under the idea that it is very nourishing. nr The 44 John II Done'' is the name of a fine new stern wheel s earner, now loading at Wheeling, and about to make her ftrst trip to Cineinnmi.
