1264 in America. The inhabitants of our globe pro

The average of human life is a!>out ;tj year*. One
quarter part die previous to the age of 7 years, and
one hah'before reaching 17 years of age; and those
who p.vs this, enjey a felicity refused to one-half

A countryman about to alter his condition, ap
peared before an English magistrate to swear to

when, on its read to him, he complained that

said his worship, who was a new made knight, not
overburdened with sense—"Not understand it!"
why, you must he qui'e a fool." "No, 1 be'nt

professes to believe in spirirual rappings, to give
tit>y dollars to any medium, who will, i:i the pre

move six feet, or rise six inches from the floor by
other than mechanical means. He might just as

have outgrown your clothes? You throw them
aside, don't you V "Oh no," replied thelittle one,
"v>e let out ths tucks." The Doctor confessed she
had the advantage of him there.
The venerable Joshua Shaw, of New Jersey, the
original inventor of the percussion cap, states that

STRENGTHEN THE STOMACH—
The grand desideratum of promoting health at
this season of the year, is to relievo the stomach of
all impurities, to invigorate, to arouse the liver from
torpidity, and to expel from the bowels all unhealthy
secretions. This should be done by some gentle me
dicine, that in its action will not debilitate the sys
tem, impair the nerves or becloud the natural spirits,
for which purpose we know of no remedy ever yet
invented that, can begin to approach iu efficiency the
celebrated PREMIUM BITTERS, manufactured
from purely vegetable substances, by Elijah Bilker of
Richmond city, and sold throughout the couniryby
apothecaries generally. These Bitters are peculiar to
the summer and fall disuses of a Southern climate, and
when taken according to directions, are a 6ure cure
for Dyspepsia, Diarrlnra. Dysentery, Cramp Colic,
Cholera Morbus, Ague and Fever, Sour Stomach, Ner
vous Headache, and almost every oth»r affection aris
ing from impurity of the hlood or disordered stomach.
To those who have not yet tested the superiority of
Bauer's Premium Bitters r as a family nieuieine, over

relief. Try them by all means.
