most every description of disease, and believe they sa'
we'd many long doctors bill by their early and timely
use. never found their accustomed certainty to vary
in their operation and effects until few months past;
and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve
ry instance of using them began to conclude that you
had made your fortune, and abandoned their ma1utac
ture to mercenary and unfaithfu hands. Under this
impression, ! accidentally advertisement OF
yours in New York newspaper, designating spurious
limitations from your manufacture, by having your
WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions,
and that in instance were the limitations signed with
pen and ink although perfect copy in every other
respect Finding those had without this test, be.
gan to suspect that I" all not fair in medicine. as

carries for your pills, with your written signature l

came to the Messrs Keeris who assured me they had
them direct from you. procured box, and on using
them found the same effects from them had always
experienced and am SO much re ioiced on finding my
selfn possession of medicine so highly prize that
that cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this
information.
0T To avoid the imposition ofcounterfeits and spu'
rious mutations as related above the purchaser has
only to examine the bill of directions covering each
box and if signed at foot. in my own handwriting i'm

OBSERVATIONS OF OLD HUMPH-
REY ON TIME.

When | was young lad, my father one
day called me to him that he might teach
me how to know what O'clock ii was. lie
told me the use OF the minute finger and
the hour hand and described TO me The fi2-
ures on the dial plate, until was prett!
perfect in my part
No sooner was quite master of this ad
ditiona knowledge, than set off scamper-
ing to Join my companions at game at
marbles; but my father called me back a.
ain;-"Stop, Humphrey" said he, 81 have
something more to tell you"
Back again went, wondering what else
had got to learn, for thought knew all
about the clock, quite as well as my father
did.
'Humphrey," said he, have taught you
to know the time of the day, | must now
teach you how to find out the time of your
life"
All this was strange to me; so | waited
rather impaiently to hear how my fothpf
would explain it, for | wanted sadly TO g.
to my marbles.
"Thc Bible" said he, "9escribes the
years of man to be three score frui ten, or
four score years. Now life is WY uncer-
tain, and you may rot live single day
longer: but if we divide the four score years
of an old mans life, into twelve parts, like
the dial of clock, it will allow almost Sc
ven years Tor every figure. When a bov
is seven years old then il is one O'Clock of
his life, and this is the case with you; when
you arrive at fourteen years, 1t will be two
O'Clock with you, and when at twenty one
years, it will be three O'Clock, should i,
please God thus to spare your life. In this
manner you may always know the time Of
your life, and looking at the clock may,
perhaps, remind you of it.-My great
grandfather, according to his calculation,
died at twelve O'Clock; my grandfather at
eleven, and my father at ten. AT what
hour you and shall die, HUMPHREY, is only
known to Him to whom all things are
known.
Never since then have heard the inqui-
ry, 'What O'clock is it?' nor do think
that have even looked at the face of "A
clock, without being reminded Of the words
Of my father.
know not, my friends, what O'clock it
is with you, but know very we'll what it is
with myself, and that if rean TO do any
thing i'll this world, which hitherto | have
neglected, it is high time to set about It,
The words of my father has given "a solem-
nifty to the dial plate of clock, which 1t
never would perhaps have possessed in my
estimation If these words had no! been
spoken. Look about you, my friends ear
nestly entreat you now and then ask your
selves what O'Clock is 1t with you.
