Anecdote of an Architect.—There
is an excellent story on recoid of an ar
chitect repudiating any connection with
the building fraternity in the case of tho
late eminent and talented Mr. Alexan
der, the architect of Rochester bridge
and several other fine buildings in the
county of Kent. He was under cross
examination, in a special jury case at
Maidstone, by Sergeant—afterwards Ba
ron Garaow, who wished to detract
from’the weight of his testimony, and
who, after asking him what was his name,
proceeds thus : ‘You are a builder,!
believe ?’ ‘No sir, I am an architect ?’
‘Ah! well; architect or builder, builder
ur architect, they are much the same, I
suppose F ‘ I beg your pardon, sir, I
cannot admit that; 1 consider them to
be totally different.’ ‘O, indeed, per
haps you will state wherein this great
difference consists V ‘An architect sir,
prepares the plans, conceives the design,
draws out the specifications—in short
supplies the mind; the builder is merely
the bricklyer or the carpenter; the build
er, in fact, is the machine; the architect
the power that puts the machine together
and sets it going.’ ‘O, very well, Mr.
Architect, that yvill do; and now, after
your very ingenious distinction without a
difference perhaps you can inform the
court who was the architect of the Tower
of BabelF And now mark the reply:
‘ There was no architect, sir, and hence
the confusion.’
ft IT Petroleum V. Nasby has re
cently given a statement of the terrible
condition of affairs at the south—how
“broolal niggers, armed with implements
uv war, go roainin thro the country in
bands, burnin, killin, robbin and destroy
in; terrifying the peaceful planters, who
are fly in to the cities for perfection. I
saw more thau twenty uv these stricken
men in a faro bank in Louisville, one
nite,” <fcc., and. winds up with saying :
*• The uiggers will starve this winter
or subsist by violating the sacred injunc
tion—•• Thou shalt not steel I” Oh, how
much better it wood hev been, hod they
continyood cz the Almity intended em,
the property uv kind masters. Sich is
the bitter froots of Ablisunism I Sich is
the result uv Ablishnism iutermedlin with
the system outo which the South wur
built. When niggers wuz worth sl,-
500 per nigger, they were neither shot
uor turned out to starve. They repre
sentid too much money.”
ftlT At the door of a certain hat
store in New York hangs the sign, “ We
block your hat, while you wait Lr fifty
cents.” Therein entered a countryman,
the other day, aud answered affirmative
ly to the question of hat-blocking. The
work was performed, and he was asked
if he would have anything else in that
line. He replied in the negative, but
continued to “ hang around” as though
something was unsaid. At last the clerk
asked what he was waiting for. “ Wait
for that fifty cents,” he said. He didn’t
get it. The batter had misplaced his
comma.
jt-fV In one of our largest cities, a
short time ago, a western editor was met
by a friend, who, taking him by tho
hand, exclaimed:
“ 1 am delighted to see you. llow
long aro you going to stay ?”
*• Why, I think,” said the editor, “I
shall stay while my money lasts.”
“How disappointed 1 am,” said his
frieud, “I hoped you were going to stay
a day or two.”
When Horace Greeley started
tho New Yorker in New York, years
ago, he endeavored to create a sensation
by offering prizes for the best poems and
stories. Lewis Gaylord Clark was chair
man of the committee to decide these
things, and awarded the SSO to a Mr.
Henry W. Longfellow, a Professor in
Bowdoin College, for tho poem.
Mr. Spurgeon, the other day,
was scolding certain of his followers who
declined to interfere in politics on the
ground that they were “not of this
world.” This, he argued, was mere
metaphor. “You might as well,” he
said, “ being sheep of the Lord, decline
to eat mutton-chop on the plea that it
would be cannibalism.”
J2F Teacher.—“ Come here, you
young scamp, and get a sound spanking.”
Scholar—“ You haiu’t got no right to

The Great New-England Remedy
DR. 3. W. POLAND’S
WHITE PINE COMPOUND
IS now offered to the afflicted throughout tho
country, after having been proved by the test
of thirteen years iu the New-England States,
where its merits have become as well known as the
tree from which, in part, it derives its virtues.
THE WHITE PINE COMPOUND
CURES
Sere Throat. Colds, Coughs, Diphtheria,-
Bronchitis, Spitting of Blood, and Pul
monary Affections generally. It is
a Remarkable Remedy for Kidney
Complaints, Diabetes, Difficulty
of Voiding Urine, Bleeding
from the kidneys and Blad
der, Gravel, and other
Complaints.
(From the Boston Jovmal.)
Boston, Jan. 20,1866.
Poland’s White Pine Compound. After
having given it a thorough trial, we can confidently
recommend Poland's IFliitc Pine Compound as a
very valuable article for the cure of colds, coughs,
and pulmonic complaints generally. In several
cases, we have known it to give prompt relief when
nil other remedies which had been tried had failed.
It is an article, which, in a climate so promotive of
sudden and severe colds as is that of New England,
ought to be in every family; and we are sure that
those who once obtain it, and give it a fair trial, will
not thereafter be willing to be without it.
A Valuable Medicine. Dr. Poland's irhite
Pine Compound, advertised in our columns, is a suc
cessful attempt to combine and apply the medicinal
virtues of the White Pine bark. It has been thor
oughly tested by people in this city and vicinity,
and the proprietor has testimonials to its value
from persons well known to our citizens. We rec
| ommend its trial in all those cases of disease to
which it is adapted. It is for sale by all our drug
■ gists. 2V. K Independent.
The WTute Pine Compound is now sold in every
part of the United States and British Provinces.
