CITY, OHIO, SATURDAY,
TO THE PUBLIC.
EASTMAN would still invite the at-
tention of the afflicted, and the pu61ic
II
generally, to his Elixir of Health.
lie is encouraged to do so from the in
creased evidence of its efficacy as a succes
ful remedial agent for many of the maladies
and diseases to which the human family are
subject. From eight years experience in
the efficacy of this medicine, he is warranted
in assuring the public that no medicine has
proved so universally salutary and beneficial
as a family medicine. It was devised as an
assistant to the efforts of nature whose op
erations are always exerted to rid the sys
tem of whatever is deleterious, and tn main
tain a healthy action throughout. This she
would ever accomplish were she not occa
sionally overpowered by counteractingcau
ses, such as marsh miasmata, impure air
'colds, exposures, irrregularities, be. By
tnese tne primary organs are deranged, en
feebled and overpowered hence diteuse in
some form is the resnlt.
The Elixir was designed to assist nature
in expelling from the system all morbid and
deleterious matter give vigor, tone and en
ergy to the digestive organs and the secre
tory vessels, the prime regulators of the
whole, upon the proper action of which de
pend the health of the entire system.
The success which has attended the ad
ministration of the Elixir, proves conclusive
ly that it answerBthe purpose of its design.
It is adopted and has proved most signally
successful in all those cases of deiungemcnt
of the digestive organs indicated by loss of
appetite, nausea, oppression from food,
acidity, heartburn, weakness, lassitude, a
sense of weariness, pains in the stomach,
side shoulder or limbs costivencss dizzi
ness billious habits nervous symptoms
melancholy dejection of spirits disturbed
sleep cold bauds and feet 6ick heudnche
liver complaints jaundice &c. For
Dyspepsia it has proved moro successful
than any other known remedy. For feeble
and delicate females, childre.) whose health
has been impaired by Ague and Fever and
other diseases: it proves a sovereign rcsto
rstivn for that state of ill health so frequent
ly met with in new and flat sections, snd
bucIi as border on sluggish waters, indica
ted by pule and sallow countenances, debili
ty, loss of appetite, billious habits be, it is
invaluable and from its powers of removing
morbid matter from t he system preventing
its accumulations and keeping the digestive
organs in a healthy and vigorous state, is a
powerful preientutive of the diseases inci
dent to such countries no new settler in
such sections should, as he values his
health, dispense with its use. Females of
from fnny to fifty years of ge, have found
it a powerful asssistant to nature in the im
dopeB g change which the system then un
icortanton a proper termination of which
edpends their subsequent health. It is also
asalutary assistant in removing obstruc
tions. As a common family nicditine, the
Elixir is unequalled being a perfectly safe,
mild yet efficacious physic itdoesliot nau
seate the stomach or debiliate thuf system,
but thoroughly cleanses the stomach and
bowels, restores and maintains their healthy
acti' ii. Itis entirely botanical in its com
position and may with perfect safely be ta
ken at any age, by either sex, in any condi
tion of life. The proprietor is aware thai
the woild abounds in patent medicines
some of which are valuable and others
worse than useless: and that much imposi
tion is practised on the public by these me
dicines. Hut from eight years experience
in the effects of his Elixir, the increased de
mand and reputation it has secured wher
ever known the proprietor does with the
most entire confidence recommend it to the
afflicted as on invaluable remedial agent
for such it has proved, as thousands will
bear witness, many of whom had exhausted
every other known remedy and despaired
of relief, and now from the use of the Elixir
enjoy perfect health.
Testimonials from the mnBt respectable
sources may be seen on the wrappers ac
companying the medicine. But the most
sure testimony is its use, and on this testi
mony 1 depend for its perpetuity.

Pompbii. Pompeii is not a ruin, that is
not a monument of crumbling and moulder
ing decay ; it is only a forsaken city. That
the inhabitants had time to fly, and bear
wii.n tnctn t tie greater pait of their posses
sions, is sufficiently evident; but a few per
ished, and they are brought to our notice
in a manner that renders their fate more
iinyretsivo and affecting.
Ilere in this villa, hie skeleton-hands
grasping coins, and jewels, and his coffee
key, was found the perished mister,
stricken in his flight, and a slave behind
him with silver and bronze vases; then
flew tho shrieking family below, lo a subter
ranean passage, and there perished, slow
ly, perhaps, seventeen of them, mistress,
unil handmaids, and faithful servants.
Hero is a sadder thing: In a little circu
lar roofed scat by the wayside, a kind of
traveller's resting place, or a spot where
friends would walk, and sit chatting in the
shade, here was found the skeleton of a
woman, and an infant skeleton in her arms,
safely may the antiquary write, a moth
er, and two children lay by her side; pre
cious ornaments were found on all. Per
haps she waited for her lord she loved, or
for her poor hand-maid, or perhaps the ur
was to return and take her.
Here ngain, under a portico, was found
some miser flying with his heavy, strong
wrapped hoard the guide tolls you it was
a priest of leis : and here in her temple, was
found other skeletons of men who stand in
guard or worship her revered image; and
lastly, at a prison or guard house were found
skeletons fastened and secured in rocks.
However, an attempt to describe Pomp
eii comes not within tho compass of my
plan of ability. Here we follow the anti
quarian with a silent and thankful attention.
We are token hy him into the ancient o-
mans, their temple, i:hoils, theatres led
along their streets, introduced into their
houses, and shown the distribution and use
of their baths, their pluces ot feasting, and
that of repose.
You stand before their shops, and put
your hand on their littie counters of marble,
one whereof has the stain of a goblet's bot
tom, anil where yon lean, hundreds of men
have leaned, in their times, to take a drink,
perhaps of vinegar and water, a draught
common among them and most grateful to
the thirsty. You walk along the raised
footway, and mark ill the carriage road the
worn wheel track; you cross at the step
ping stones and iliink of the toga; you stop
at the open spots where tho streets meet
and cross, and look for the damsels who
came crowding with their urns to the con
venient wells.
The bike housi-, thewino shops, and the
cook's shop, exactly similar in plan lo those
I have seen in the Macho, and Djiddo, with
stoves and large vessrcls of boiling and pre
paring food, are all to be found in this si
lent city. You pass among the columns ol
many temples, you enter the hall of judg
ment, and walk up between its Corinthian
columns, and look with suspicion on the
raised tribunal, and think about impartial
decrees; you go into the theatres, und then
on across a .vineyard, to tho noble amphi
theatre, and then ascending to the top,
gnzo out, and forget every thing but the
bright beauty of tho scenery; turning to
descend, you see where the civilized iuiuan
sat smiling; while the Numidian lion tore the
frame of his captive foe, perhaps the brave
blue-eyed Daciun; or frowning upon his
youngest son,'who at his first visit to the
games, would look at times pale ami with
an eye dimmed by a tear, but not degraded
by allowing itlo fall. Scenes and Impres

" Very exceedingly, I do assure you,"

she could, to have her share in the dis

before him. This be essayed to do with a
notablo good will. After this, the blooming
Anne brewed a goodly posset, and whilst
they were enjoying it, her father called on
her to sing him a song, the which she Boom
ed little a very little to hesitate upon,
with a sort of pretty coyness tune out of
mind customary under similar circumstan
ces; but after the handsome youth had
pressed her with an excellent show of rhet
oric, she sung a dainty ditty, then popular,
concerning of "The pretty little Nightin
gale," and at least one of the listeners
thought it most exquisite singing. Then
John Hathaway would needs have a song
of his guest, to the which Iter daughter ad
ded her entreotics so prettily, the youthful
Shakspeare found it iinpusjible to resist,
whereupon he commenced the singing nf a
favorite love snug of tho limes, begining,
" If I had wytt fur lo endyte." The words
were of pleasant conceit which gained con
siderably in admirableness by the manner
ot bis singing, and the tune,by means of his
rich clear voice, came upon the air, a very
river of melody. Whether the yeoman
liked the song could only be told by the plea
sure lurking in the corners of his mouth,
and shining quaintly in his half closed eye
lids, which might be interpreted, he saw
moro in it than the singer imagined how
ever, that his daughter relished it there
could be no questioning, for her smiles were
full as evident as her praites.
" Now friend Will, thee must be agoing,"
exclaimed John Hathaway, at last, in his Usu

happy to see thee its myself." He said this
with a look of humor that shone through
all the staidness of his aspect, And shaking
his visiter heartily by the hand, ho opened
the door for his exit. His daughter denied
not a word of what her father had said. In

An Arkansas Deacon. In one of the
oldest settled towns uf Arkansas, lived,
some years since a good natured old joker j
named Sipplcs, something of a drinker, very
profane, addicted to nothing 6ave loafing
and story-telling emphatically a hard
case," take him all round. For years he
had been known by the name of" The Dea
con'' and from beii g constantly addressed
hy that title, it was said that he had so far
forgotton ttic name he starteu with in early
life, as not to know it when he heard it, sin
gular as it was.
One evening he had been indulging freely
in his fuvorite recreations for drinking and
story-telling at the village tavern." Ten o'
clock came and with It went all the tavern
loungers, some to their homes, and some to
bed. None were left savo old Sipples, the
h tr keeper and a stranger, a preacher who
hud jiislanivcd and who had heard no part
of the previous conversation. The arranger
was a "down e.isl pre tetter ou n visit to
Arkansas in quest of a congregation. He
had hardly got Bunted before the bar-keeper,
who was anxious to close the house, addres
sed Sipples with "come, Deacon, aint you
about ready to start?"
Tho preacher heard this, and supposed at
once that he had luckily found the very man
who could give him all the information he
required. Hitching his chair along side of
Sipples, and giving him a mock and patron
izing look, he commenced with
" How d'ye do, Deacon!"
" Pretty fair, I thank you, how are you?"
" I am as well as could be expected,
much obliged to you. Deacon, how does
the cause of religion flourish in this neigh
borhood?"
"About titer s mc, I believe, I don't see
much difference."
" 1 lave you any settled preacher here
now"
"No, we h tv'ut. The preacher was dis
missed about six months ago."
" He was, was ho." Wei! don't you find
a difference since lie left?"
' I don't notice nny great, change."
" Hut don't you rind your duties heavier
don't you liud it hard getting along?"
" Well, it docB come pretty considerable
d d tough, thill's a fact, and you'll find
it devilish bird scratching to get along
yourself, I reckon, by the lint! you've been
here a long as I have."
The pre icher was shocked. He saw t iat
lie had woke up the wrong deacon at once.
Sipples knew and c ired just as much about
religion as he did about the Government of
the Tango Islands or the atTairs of Fiance,
and after taking his ' night cap' in the shape
of a whiskey toddy, started for homo, leav
ing the preacher in astonishment. The lat
ter had supposed he should find the same
kind of deacons in Arkansas he left in Con
necticut, and wem to bed that night fully
determined, the next time he accosted a
stranger with that title, lo find out, in the
first place, whether he was of the right sort.

A Fablb. From the side of a verdunt
mountain there flu wed forth a little rivulet.
Its voice w:ts scarcely heard among the
rustling of the leaves and grass around, and
its shallow and narrow stream might be
overlooked by the traveller. This brook al
though small, was inspired with a proud
spirit, and murmured agiinst the decree of
Providence which placed it in a lot so lowly..
" I wish I were a cloud to roll all day
through the heavens, painted so beautifully
as t!to8c lovely shapes are colored, and nev
er descending again In showers; or at least
I wish I was a river, performing some use
ful duty in the world. Shame orr my weak
wave and unregarded bubbling! I might
as well have never been, as to be puny, in
significant, and useless."
When the brook hud thus complained, a
beautiful flower that bent over i:s bosom, re
plied: "Thou art greatly in the error,
brook. Puny and insignificant thou trmy
est be, but useless thou art not, for I owe
half my beauty, porhnps my life, to thy re
freshing waters. The plants adjacent to
thee art) trreener and richer than the others.
The Cteatoa has given to thea a duty,
wuich, though' Irumble, thou must not ueg-
leet. Besides, who knows what may be
thy future destiny? Flow onr I beseech
thee!""
The brook heard Vat rebuke, and danced
along its way morn cheerfully. On and on
it went growing broader and broader. By
and by other rivulets poured their crystal
waters into il, and its deepening bosom, in
which already began to- appear the fairy
creatures of the wave, darting about joyfully
and glistning in the sun. As its channel,
grew wider and wider, and yet other branch
es came gliding into it, it rolled in a mean
dering course through a teeming country,,
freshening .whatever it touched, and giving:,
the whole scene a new character and beau.-

As it morcd on now in majesty '

being great. In the hope of these, we should1
ever pass on without despair or doubt, true-,

A BRAVB AMD OKNEROUS ACT. We rS
informed by an eye witness, that late or
Friday evening, just as one of the Fulton
terry boats was leaving the dock, a man
who was hastening to get on board, and
who, from the darkness of the hour, . warn
unaware of the distance at which the boat
had left the dock, rushed forward and sank;
in the gloomy waters, which being much)
agitated by the paddle wheels, rendered hist
situation almost hopeless. In his lost ex
hausted struggle, however, he was seen by
a brave and generous man,. Major Hopftins
of the custom-house, who was a passenger
on board, who instantly leaped overboard
at the imminent peril of his own life, to,
save that of a fellow-creature. He bronght
him from beneath the water, and supported
him by adroit but desperate efforts, until sx
rope could be thrown, but whilst tbe stran
ger was lifted up, hie own head was kept
under water for a long time by the involun
tary struggles of the person whom he had
saved, and he very nearly fell a victim to his
own noblo effort. Both, however, were;
happily saved, although in the last extreme;
of exhaustion. Mao York JVcw Era.
Our cotemporary is not misinformed lit
this matter, but his informant did not tell
him all the story. The rescued stangor,
when about stepping into a coach to ride
home, extended his hand to the Major, for
the purpose, as the latter supposed, of "a
friendly grasp" befure they parted. The
Major grasped the preferred hand, with hie
usual fervor, but when their hands parted.,
he found the stranger had deposited in his
palm a roll of bank notes. The blood
mounted to the face of the Major till ther
l ores of it almost oozed with the crimson),
life, and thrusting back the notes to hie
debtor for life, he exclaimed:- "Sir, I did
not run the risk of leaving my wife a widow-
anil my children fatherless, for the sake of

tne occurrence was strongly marked by
their comments JV. T. Sun.
Humanr Sportikg. Captain Harris, fa
his "Narrative of an expeditiotii nto South
em Africa," gives a long and animated ac
count of slaughter committed on a herd of'
elephants. We pass, however, the details
of his useless cruelty, to extract the follow
ing beautiful incident: "Not an elephant
was to be seen (observes our author) on tho
ground, that was yesterday teeming withv
them, but on reaching the glen, which had
been the scone of our exploits during the
early part of the action, a calf, about three
tnd a half feet high,- walked forth from,
Dush and saluted us with mournful piping
notes. We had observed the unhappy lit
tle wretch, hovering about its mother alter
sue fell, and having probably beon unable to
overtake the here, it had passed s dreary
night in the wood. Entwining its little pro
boscis about our legs, the sagacious crea
ture, after demonstrating its delight at our
arrival by a thousand ungainly antics, ac
companied the party to the body of its dam.
The conduct of the quaint little calf now be
came quite arl'ectiig, and elicit the sympi
ihy of every one. It ran around its moth
er's corpse with demonstrations of grief, pi
ping sorrowfully, and vainly atttempting to
raise her with its tiny trunk. I confess that
I felt compunctions in committing murder
the day before, and now half resolved"
and then Captain Harris wiped the tear from
ins eye, loaded his rifle, and went on with
his goodly work, It appears that the young
elephant voluntarily accompanied tbe party
