VEGETABLE OIL SOAP.

J. M. begs respectfully to recommenatoLadies and Gen-
tlemen visiting watering places or travelling, this emolient
Soap. It renders the hardest water soft, and makes the skin
white, soft, and healthy; eradicates roughness and redness;
and will preserve the complexion in any climate. The great
objection to soap is its corrosive properties. The Vegetable
Oil Soap is not only free from those properties but highly
nutritious—is an invaluable acquisition at the toilet and in
the nursery. It preserves the delicate texture of the skin,
and its use is highly recommended, and to gentlemen to
shave, who have a tender or irritable skin, it is invaluable.
J. M. is indebted to Admiral Murray for the following testi-
monial:—" 7th January, 1821. A. M. can, from his own
experience for three or four years, testify that the Vegetable
Soap is the best he ever used in shaving; also for chapped
hands it is truly valuable."

The genuine BOTANIC OIL has an equal claim to pa-
tronage. Its utility has never been equalled, in renovating
and producing a luxuriant growth of Hair. The testimonials
are too numerous for an advertisement. In addition to which,
the Proprietor begs to observe, during more than tvvv!t),
years' use, his hair has not suffered the least decline.
of
best proof the public can have of the superior propertlceom!
the above articles, is the use of a single package, as a
parison with other articles.

A CUTTER.—A tailor of Plymouth announces that, at his
shop, a travelling coat, dress coat, waistcoat, two pair of
trowsers, a, bat, and two shirts may be obtained—made to
measure—for the trifling cost of thirty-two shillings.
Those who have the plague of party spirit are not onlyia

It is wonderful how we differ in our various estimates of
taxation. The heaviest with a rich man is a tax upon pro-
perty—with the merchant, on his time—with the old man;
on his strength—with the irritable one, on his'patievice:—
with families, a poll-tax—with a school-boy, syntax.
" I see," said a young lady, " that some booksellers ad.
vertise blank declarations for sale. I wish I could get 0ne..7
" Why ?" asked her mother. " Because, ma', Mr. G. is
too modest to ask me to marry him, and perhaps if I could
fill a blank declaration with the question, he would sign it."
The cavaliers during the protectorate of Cromwell were
wont to put a crumb of bread into their glass, and before
they drank it off, with cautious ambiguity exclaimed, " God
send this crum well down.

QUITE FAIR.—A loquacious lady witness, whom the op-
posing counsel could not silence, had so long kept him at baf,'
that, by way of brow-beating her, he at last exclaimed, " Why,
woman there is brass enough in your face to make a kettle !"
" And sauce enough in yours to fill it," was the rejoinder.
The following curious anecdote is in circulation among our
gossiping townspeople:—The celebrated Dr. Hook, the vicar
of Leeds, attended divine service in the evening at the Galilee
Chapel, in the Cathedral, on Sunday last. Mr. Townsend
was the preacher, and his subject was taken, according to his
usual custom, from the service of the day ; and his text was
the difficult passage in Ephesians, chap. iii., verses 14 to 19,
which he discussed with his usual energy. On Dr. Hook's
opinion being subsequently asked respecting Mr. Townsend's
sermon, he is said to have answered that it was a very fair
sermon, but that the preacher went out of his depths. On
this reply being communicated to one of Mr. Townsend's
clerical friends, " Oh !" he answered, " I am not surprised
at that remark. Nothing is more usual than that Mr.
Townsend should go in his sermons where Dr. Hook could
not follow him." Whether this observation was more com-
plimentary to Dr. Hook or to Mr. Townsend, we leave to the
judgment of our readers.—Durham Advertiser.
POVERTY.—We always says, " Do not be ashamed of po
verty—it is no disgrace ; " and most truly have we spoken,
poverty is no disgrace ; but why do we who preach, treat it
prone as if it were a pestilence ?—shrink from it—pruelairtiit—in7
suit it—chastise it—betray it—loath it—abandon ? We
