'"' The1 following is a laughable account of the
( Misfortunes that befej an American gentleman
tape visit to a lady in Paris, to whom be bore
letters of introduction. After relating a number
tei ludicrous and amusing mistake upon his en-
trance -into the presence of the lady, he thus pro-
ceeds" ' .. ; . .
The ordinary routine of a French dinner com
menced:. A-regular aerie of servant appeared
' each instant at our elbows, inviting us to partake
of a thousand different kinds of wine under strings
of name which I no morn understood than I un
derstood their composition,- or they did my gait
eheriet. Resolute, to avoid all further opportuni-
. tie for displaying my predominant trait, I aat in
the most obstinate silence, saying out to every
thing that was offered to me, and eating with the
most devoted application, till my fair neighbor,
tired with my taciturnity and her own, at length
herself began a conversation by inquiring how T
was pleased with the opera. I was just raising a
large morsel of potato to my mouth, and in order
to reply a quickly as possible, I hastily tin us t it
in, intending to swallow it hastily. Heavens! It
was a hot as burning lava. What could I do?
The lady's eye were fixed upon me, waiting a
reply to her question. But my mouth was in flame.
I rolled the burning morsel hither and thither,
rocking my head from side to tide; while my eyes
.which involuntarily I had fixed on her, were strain
: ed from theit sockets. She regarded my grimaces,
- of the cause of which she was ignorant, with an
expression of amusement and surprise, at which I
can laugh now when I think of it.
"Monsieur 'is ill!" at length she gently and in
an anxious tone inquired; I could bear no more.
.My moulli was flayed with intolerable pain; so
quietly abandoning the point, I opened it to Hie
1 utmost, and but dropped the infernal brand upon
inj plate. Not the slightest tendency In risibility
..ruffled the imperturable politeness of the lady
She soothingly condoled with me on my misfor
tune, then gradually led the conversation to a vari
ety of topics, still exerting the magic influence
that true politeness always exercises, and I began
to forget even my own blunders. , Gradually my
. cheek burned leii painfully, and I could join in
. the conversation without the fear that every word
tI uttered shared the fate ot the action attempted;
I even ventured to hope, nay to congratulate iny-
. self, that the catalogue of calamities was comple
. ted for the day.
.. "Let no man call himself happy before death,"
aid Solon, and he said wisely The Ides of March
.were not yet over. Before us stood a dish of
cauliflower, nicely done in butter. This I natural
ly enough took for a custard pudding, which it
sufficiently resembled. Unl.irtunately my vocab
.ulary was not extensive enough to embrace all the
technicalities of the table, and when niy fair
neighbor inquired if I was fond of thorfltur, I
verily took it to be the French for custard pud
ding, and o high .was my panegyric of it that my
plate wa bountifully laden with it, Alas, one
.ingle mouthful was enough to dispel my illusion.
, , Would to Heaven that the chorfteur had vanish
ed with it But that remained bodily, and as I
gazed despondingly on the large mass that loomed,
almost , as large and burning as Vesuvius, my
.heart died within me. Ashamed to confess my
.mistake, although I could as readily have swallow
ed an equal quantity of soft s ap, I struggled on
.manfully against the mountainous heap at It base
and shutting my eyes and opening my mouth to
inhale a large masses as I could without stopping
to taste it But my stomach soon began intelligi
bly enough, to intimate its intention toadmit.no
more of this nauseous strange beneath its roof, if
not even expelling that which had gained an un
welcome admission.
. Tbe seriousness of the task I had undertaken.
and. (be resolution necessary to execute it, had
given an earnestness and rapidity to my exertions
which appetite could not have inspired, when my
plate, having got somewhat over tbe edge of the
table, upon my leaning forward tilted up, and down
lid the disgusting mass into my lap. My handker
chief, unable to bear so weighty a load, bent under
in it turn, and a great portion of it landed safely
in my hat. The plate righted itself; as I raised my
person and saw at I glanced my eye around the
table that no one had noticed my disaster, I in
wardly congratulated myself that the nauseous
deception was so happily, disposed of, . Resolved
not to be detected, I instantly rolled my handker
chief together, with its. remaining contents and
whipped it into my pocket
.The dinner table was at length deserted tor the
drawing room where coffee aud liqu rs were
served round. , Meantime I had sought out what I
considered a safe hiding place for ray hat, beneath
chair in the dining room, for I dare not carry it
ny longer in my hand, having first thrown a mor
sel of paper to hide the cauliflower, should any
one chance, in seeking for his own bat, to look
iatoMe.?.- . j; ;
.. Da my return to the drawing room, I chanced
to be again seated by the lady by whom I had aat
t the table.' Our conversation was rrsumed, and
re were In the midst of an animated "discussion,
prben huge spider wa seen running up her arm.
.sTake it off! tike it off!" she ejaculated in a
terrified yoke. ' ' " ' :--' -: ')

touching hits, will my haftd, I aught my pockej

"Have yon cut your, Ijand 2" inquired one.
- "Noj no!-f the 'spider monsieur is killing the
"vynal a quantity of -entrails !" ejaculated an
astonished Frenchman, unconsciously to himself. .
' 'Well might he be astonished; the spray" of the
execrable vegetable had spattered her dress from
head to foot ,,. For myself, the moment the acci
dent occurred, I had mechanically returned, my
handkerchief to my pocket, but its contents re
mained. .. 'V i , ' '
" What a monster mutt it have been," observed
a young lady as she helped to relieve my victim
from her cruel situation. "I declare I should
think it had been living on cauliflower." '''' ''
At that moment I felt some one touch me; and
on turning I saw ,my companion who had come
ith me. ' '" . ;: 1
'Look at your pantaloons he whispered.
Already half dead with the'eonfusion and disas
ter I had caused, I cast my eyes upon my once
white dress, and saw at a glance the horrible ex
tent of my dilemma. . I had been sitting 00 the
(atal pocket and had crushed out the liquid butter
and the soft, paste-like vegetable which had be
daubed and dripped down them, till it seemed as if
it were entirely dissolving my pantaloons.
Dai ting from the shot, I sprang to the place
where I had left my hat; but before I could reach
it a sudden storm of wrath was heard at the door.
"Sacre! bete! sarre!" the r in the first syllable
being made to roll like a watchman's rattle, min
gled with another epithet and name that an angry
Frenchman never spares, was heard ringing like
fierce tempest without the door. Suddenly
there was a pause, a gurgling Bound as of one
swallowing involuntarily and the storm of wiath
again broke nut with redoubled fury. I seized my
hat and opened the door, and the whole matter was
at once explained; we had exchanged hats-and
there he stood, the soft cauliflower gushing down
his cheeks, blinding his eyes, fillinghis mouth,
hair, mustaches and whiskers. Never shall I for
get that spectacle. There he stood as' ride like the
Colossus, aud stooping gently forward, his eyes
forcibly closed, his arms drooping out from his
body aud dripping cauliflower and butter from'
every pore. .
I staid no longer, but retaining his hat, I rushed
from the house, jumped into a 'fiacre,' and arrived
safely home; hrartily resolved that, to my latest
hour, I would never again deliver a letter of intro-
Auction.
HUNGARY. Prince Maurice, who is in Hun
gary, had been hunting in the vicinity of his res-i
deuce. A neighboring nobleman happened to
meet one of the Prince's huntsmen on his ground
and immediately shot him. The Prince,' being
informed of the circumstance, hastened, accompa
nied hy a servant, to the nobleman and remonstra
ted with liiin. "A Hungarian nobleman," replied
he, "is master of life and death on his own estate,
and you shall immediately have another prool of
It. Saying this, the Hungarian shot the Prince s
innocent servant. The Prince, excited hy this
barbarous act, drew out a pistol and shot the noble
man who died on the spot. The German Prince
is still confined In a Hungarian fortress.
HINTS TO LOVERS OF FLOWERS. -A
beautiful and easily obtained show of evergreens
in winter may be had by a very simple plan which
has been found to answer remarkable well on a
small scale. ' It geranium branches are taken from
healthy and luxurious trees just before the winter
sets in, cut as for slips, and immersed in soap and
water, they will, after drooping for a few days,
shed their leaves, put forth fre.h ones, and contin
ue in the finest vigor all the winter. ' By placing a
number of bottles filled in flower baskets, with
moss to conceal the bottles, show of evergreens
is easily insured for a whole season. They require
no. fresh water.
VANITY. The vanity of young men in hav
ing fine clothe and new fashions, and valuing
themselves by them, is one ol the most childish
pieces of lolly that can be, and the occasion of
great profuseness and undoing of young men.
Avoid curiosity and too much expensiveness in
your apparel; be comely, plain, decent, cleanly
not curious or costly. It is the sign of weak
headpiece to be sick for every new fashion, or to
think himself the better in it or the worse without
it. . . "
AN IMPUDENT RASCAL. A fellow broke
jail in Maryland last week. He left behind him
a letter expressing his gratitude to the jailor and
his wife, for their kind treatment, and regretting
that his health would permit him to remain no
longer in their agreeable society He felt himsell
growing unwell from confinement, and tore him
self away from them confident that the climate ef
the State did not agree with him.
THE CLIMAX. I stood in the deserted halls
of my father I gazed round on the bare walls and
down the hollow sounding corridor I cried aloud,
"The friends of my early youth, where are they?
where?" and echo answered, "Really, J don't
know!"
. Pilches: met with ah amusing rebuffs week or
two ago in the southern part of the Slate.. Walk
ing up to a quiet old gentleman in the midst of a
crowd, he held out his hand aud remarked, with
his most winning smile: "My dear sir. I cannot
call your name, but I am sure we have been to
gether somewhere." Perhap we have," laid the
old gentleman, "for I have been in some d d bad
company in my day." . .;... . '?
It was a fine and true remark, that "they who
will abandon a friend for one error know hut little
of the humaa charac ter.and prove that theii hearts
are es'cold a their judgment are weak."'

That it stands at the heal ot all other remedies

BuRT.iNGToit, Licking Co., O., Dec. 1.1843.
Messrs. Joslin & Rowe: At your request I
herewith transmit to you a statement of the case of
Mrs.' Wimer and child, as near as I am able to com-
mtinicate, which you are at liberty tnpublish if you
r . -j..r . .. .
see fit, as I feel a desire to inform the world of the
effi ct of the invaluable medicine called Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry to which, by the divine
I blessing, I am indebted for the restoration to health
of oi y wife and child
About hve years ago, Mrs. Wimer was attacked
with a violent cough, pain in the chest and side
and symptomsof approaching consumption,. Dur
ing trie intervals trom mat time tn sometime 111
February last, sh" had b.'en treated hv einii.en
t
Physicians from Utica, Sylvania, Homer. Chat
j ham and Newark.and with only partial relief of the
most urgent sy nipt' ms. About one year ago, she
caught a violent cold, winch seated upon the Lungs
producing an alarming aggravation of all her ore
vious symtoms. Her Physician was sent for, and
despite his nest efforts, she began rapidly to sink
under tier disease, cough, Expectoration Hectic
together with nigtit sweats, soon reduced her to
complete skeleton. In February last, her attend
ing Physician, deemed her case altogether hopeless
a council was called nnd after deliberating upon
her case unanimously pronounced her to be beyond
the teach of means, and expressed their opinion
that she could survive but a short time, one or two
weeks at farthest. Sshe was at this time entirely
confined to her bed, an I scarcely able to articu
late, except in a whisper. Her daily paroxysms ot
coughing would last her uninteruptedly from 3 to
5 hours, and so severe were they, that we did ex
pect that every paroxysm would be the last The
physicians 111 council pronounced her Lungs, Liv
er, Kidneys, Spines and. Mucus Membrane of the
Sto.Tiach to he incurably diseased. It was at this
last extremity that we happened to obtain a ram
phlet describing Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, as applicable to Lung affections. We im
mediately sent to you and procured a bottle, and
commenced its use at evening by giving her one
teaspoon full, and such was the surprising effect,
that she was able tn pass a comlortable night s rest,
without experiancing any paroxysm of coughing,
and such was its ultimate effect, that after taking
five battles she was, contrary to the expectations
of her physicians, and every one who saw her, en
tirely restored to health; and since last summer has
done the entire work ot her family. After the last
attack of Mrs. Wimer, our youngest child, then an
infant at the brei'st was taken down, and rapidly
sinking, with the same symtoms as its mother, and
seeing the happy effect of the Balsam in the case
of the mother, we were disposed to make trial of it
for the child, and it was attended with the same
perlect success-
The above statement can be attested by our phy
sician as wen as our neignnors ana acquaintances,
who saw Mrs. Wimer during the course of her
sickness.
Very truly, yours, &c.'

Water ville, Oneida, co., N. Y., Sept. 15, 1843.
Dear Sir: I owe it to the afflicted to inform
you that in January last I was attacked by a very
violent cold caused by working in water, which
settled on my lung. It wa accompanied by a
very severe pain in my breast and side, and also a
distressing cough. I had in attendance all the best
medical aid in our village, and after exhausting
their skill to no avail they pronounced my disease
confirmed Consumption, and one and all gave
me up to die. After much persuasion I got the
consent of my physician to use Wistar's Balsam of
Wild Uherry prepared by Dr. Wistar. I purchas
ed ol the agent in our place one bottle, before us
ing half of which, I began to gain strength, and it
was very evident my cough was a great deal better, I
and my symptoms in every way improving. I
have how used three bottles, and am restored to
health. The result is alone owing to the useol
Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and I take
this method of giving you the information, partly
to pay the debt of gratitude I owe you, and partly
that others similarly afflicted may know where to
apply for relief.
; Respectfully and truly youti,

f flAHE COLUMBIAN MAGAZINE FOR 1845
'-PROSPECTUS FOR THE SECOND
YEAR. At the close of his second volume the
magazine having been commenced on the first of
January, 1S14, the publisher1 finds himsell irresist -
ably called on tn express the satisfaction and grati-
tune wun wnicn tie nas neen nnea ay me Drilliaut
and unexampled success that has attended his en -
deavors to win the public favor. . Notwithstanding
ine uiiuuuiueB, iiisuppoiiiiiuems auu vezaiinus mat
almost invariably follow the establishment of anew
periodical, in the production of which there must
ne ine njrmonious cooperation 01 many neaas and
many hands untwithstanding the occasional short'
romtiigs, especially in the pictorial department,
which no care or diligence can avert, and no ex
pend itiire prevent, the Columbian Magazine has
gone on steadily increasing in support and popular
ity from the opening number, aud if the uiibought
aud unsolicited testimony of the press may be re
reived as unswayed by partiality and unbiassed by
friendship, the efforts of contributors and editor
have been satisfactory to the public and accepted
as fulfilling the promises made for them at the
commencement of the enterprise. '
The publisher undertook the work with a firm
conviction that the great city of New York was the
best and the true home for a magazine of general
literature; that notwithstanding the failure of many
previous attempts to establish such a work, there
could be 110 impossibility of success with sufficient
capital, perseverance and the right system of man.
agement both by publisher and editor; stimulated by
this conviction he embarked in the enterprise and
the result of the first year has proved that his judg
ment was correct,
It h.is long ceased to he necessary or reasonable
that we should speak of the Columbian as an exper
iment. At all events it is now an experiment sub
stantially tried. We feel ourselves upon as firm a
basis as any aimilar journal in the world. Our
principal cares now regard uot to much the securing
what ground we. have gained (lor we consider this
siifficiautly secure )a the extention of our sphere f
action and utility, not so much even the mere en
largement of our subscription list, as the most suit
able modes of entering for the amusement (and shall
we ay occasionally for the profit.') of our subscrih-
ert in the present and in the future, the many whom
' e have aud the many inure we shall undoubtedly
have as time mils on.

matured numerous plans (lor the Third Volume)
