CERTIFICATE.

81, ANDREW HUTTON, of New Castle,
lately u common drunkard, having been cured
by DIR Chambers medicine, as trust, hereby
wish to testify, before my friends and acquain-
tances, the public, and all drunkards, to the
efficacy of this medicine.
| am 81 years old, have a wife and eight
children. | have for twelve years been hard
drnkcr. My usual quantity lalterly was about
five quarts Of lqror week. The loss of time
by my diinn!ng was TO the worth ofabout three
dollars week. The money which | spent
weekly for rum was about 62 l-2 cents. I
was much weakened in body, my limbs rem
blcd, my cyc-sight sometimes almost failed. l
was compelled by my dreadful thirst often to
get up at night and drink. Sometimes ! was
crazy, and would threaten people in the
streets, in fits of intoxicat on, seeking 10 quar-
rel with them. My wife having already borne
and suffered more than could write on paper,
though she has always been a kind com panion
and an industrious woman, was bout leaving
me for my intoerable drunkenness. In short,
if any one wanted TO say another was the
worst man in town as TO drinking, he would
most likely say he was {" as bad as old Hut
ton.'
1 began to take the medicine in liquor, but
my thirst ragged so, that while taking it would
drink often without the medicine and get
drunk. All hopes of its doing me goo6 seemed
gone. But after he last dose, began to nau-
seate liquor, and though took but half the
usual quantity for confirmed sot, or the whole
OF the usual quantity for " young beginner"
as Mr. Chambers calls il, have lost all taste
for ardent spirits, and have not drank nor
wished to drink drop since the 26th of March
last, the day after | took the last Of the medi-
cine. My body now begins to feel vigorous;
my hand, that slooh so when tried to pour
out cup Of coffee as to spill half of it, is now
firm and steady, my eye-sight is improved. I
sleep well at night, and do not mutter and talk
as used to. Ny appetite is good, eating as
much in one day as formerly did in six.
can work at my trade all day. and do more
work now in one week than | formerly did in
three months. Decent people are willing now
to talk with and employ me. As for my wife she
says she is 4" in Il new world.' wish TO thank
God for his mercy to me, and hope shall new
er fall INTO this vice again, though shall if he
does not keep me, earnestly recommend this
medicine 10 all the drunkards in Delaware,
who are runng soul and body by pouring down
rum into their throats.

Yon Towering sun-aower, oy thy side,
Ia starry radiance gay,
Spreads her rich breast in besuty's pride,
And courts the noon-tide ray.
Whilst, shrinking from the fervid glow,
Thy modest colours fly,
Each graceful aow'ret droopins low,
Thy silken blossoms die.
But .airer than proud Phebus' flower
ln noon-tide beauty fright,
Art thou, in evenings peusive hour,
BY Cynthia's trembling light.
When family CLEANS the western star,
And ev'niuss gentle breeze,

Trul y the education of females at the

of domestic life. To attract the ad-

admirable picture drawn by Solomon,

wealth and luxury have introduced
since The foundation Of society, will
never have power to do away the infu-
ence Of those domestic virtues which
the inspired penman has SO beautifully
delineated in the last chapter Of Prov
