icine which will in most all cases, cure
Rheumatic and Hip Complaints, aud he
warrants those who call upon him on Sat
urdays and stay until Monday and find no
relief by the application of said medicine,
that they are welcome to the medicine and
attendance. 1t is a mistaken idea of many
people, that the aged who have been afflic-
ted with Rheumatism for many years. can
not be helped. 1t is true that the aged can
not be made young again; but they may be
relieved from pain.
Those who may favor him with call
may find him at the first house North of

N. b. Applicants are requested to bring
with them three walls each. Price not to
exceed $3.50 in common cases Applacl-
tons by letter directed to st Johnsbury

tended to. Where there are cases of cos
tiveness or bilious complaints, attending

speedily obtained but lie considers himself

We have met with an anecdote on this sub

A clergyman was walking upon the
wharf where fishing boat lay, while the
master was uttering the most tremendous
oaths At length the clergyman turned TO
him and said:

one day when / was llAlllS my me, my

"Now SIR" said !, 81 have often thought
that Satan was very much like fisherman

bait which different sorts of sinners like
best: but when he would catch profunc

Rev J. SWIFT, ID. d., Dean of ST. Pat
rick's, Dublin, was one of the brightest
consultations in the literary world, Il cen
tury since. He hourshed with Addison,
Pope, Gay, Arbuthnot, and others. lie
was deeply involved in the political strife
of those times, and wrote some eXtruordi-
nary pamphlets in favor of his party. For
natural genius, for brilliant wit, for pungent
satire, he was unsurpassed. But his Wri-
tines partook too much of the spirit of the
nge--indclicacy.
His temper was uncertain, peevish, good
naturcd, affcclionatc, spteiu, liberal, ava
ricious. For the following illustrations we
are indebted principally to Shcrdan's pri-
vate life of Swift
When George Faulkner, the printer,
returned from London, where lie had been
soliciting subscriptions for his edition Of
the deans works, he went to pay his re-
SpcClS 10 MN, uItSscu III IL laCCu NdlStcOdl,
bag wig, and other fopperies. Swift re-
ceived him with all the ceremony that he
would show to a perfect stranger.
"Pray, sir, what are your commands
with me:"
II thought ii my duty 10 wait on you
Immediately on my arrival from London"
Pray, sir, who are you?"

never trick Himself out in lace, and other
foppcrics. Get about your business, and
thank your stars that do not send you to
the house of correction"
Poor George hobbled away as fast rs he
could, and having changed his apparel,
returned Immediately to the doonery.
Swift, on seeing him, went up TO him
with great cordially, shook him. lamiliarly
by the hand, saying, "NIy good friend
George, am heartily glad to see you safe
returned. Here was an impudent fellow
in laced waistcoat, who would fnn have

Is ii not amazing that at a time when the
rights of humanity are defined with precis-
ion, in u country above all others fond Of
liberty that in such an age and in such ii
country, we find men possessing a religion
the most humane and gentle, adopting n
practice as repugnant to humanity, rs it is
inconsistent with the bible and destructive
TO liberty. Believe me, honor the Qua
llers for their noble efforts to abolish slave
ry. Every thinking honest man rejects it
in speculation; yet how few in practice,
from conscientious motives. Would any
man believe that am master of slaves Of
my own purchase? am drawn away by
the general Inconvenience living without

Slavery is contrary to the laws OF nature

unconstitutional. That slavery is an evil,
