QUACks AND
Their Destructive NoStrNmS.


TIME united testimony of Physicians, through
Il out the United States, has fully proved the
fact that Peters Vegetable Pills are the only true
Vegetable Pills, which will stand the test Of AHali-
sation-hence the proprietor would most earnestly
urge them to the notice Of those who have been In
the habit of using, as CaAarties n APerieHfs, the
destructive and irritating Qaaek Pills, so general
ly advertised, and which are al best but slow constr
mers Of the vital functions and mUrderoHs agents,
even to the most hale. 1t is true, most oithem pro
duce a ~purgatiye effect. and sometimes transient re-
lief, but in most cases they injure the digestive or
gans, and an habitual resort TO them must terminate
in confirmed dyspepsia.
IL is true that Cathartis and Apertsnt Medi-
cines are often required, but the incest discrimina.
ton should always be observed in the selection, and
if this BIO done nothing injurious can result from their
use.
To produce this much desired result, DR.. Peters
has made il his study for several years. and feels
proud to say he has at length succeeded, far beyond
his expectations. The object of his Pills are TO SUI
persede the necessity Of a frequent recourse to inju-
rious purgatives, and to offer a medicine safe, Ger
tain, and pleasant in its operation.

A CUISINES TRANSACTION"

We have rarely heard Of a more adroit shave
than took place day or two since in Broad
way. A vender Of spurious watches met a
countryman, and offered him a good gold lever
watch. He had met with sudden misfortunes,
was entirely out Of money, and was willing in
deed under the necessity of sacrificing watch
worth hundred dollars for a small sum-he
would even take seventeen dollars for the one
he showed and to be all fair and above board,
he told the countryman he might take il into
a highly respectable jewellers store, near
where they stood, and ascertain its Value
The watch was taken into the store accord
ngly, and the holder told that it was worth
ninety dollars. The "gentleman from the
country" Of course, bit at such speculation,
went back to the man in distress, and counted
him out his seventeen dollars; during which
process he put the watch into the hands ofthe
vender, which was Immediately handed back.
The parties then separated, and the "party of
the second part beginning TO have a little
suspicion as to the identity of his purchase
with the article bargained for, he took it into
the same store, and was told at once, that this
watch was worth about dollar and half

CELESTINA.

EXTRACTED FROM THE STORY OF THE oYNx RING.
"When was in Italy some years ago,
knew young Engishman who was in the
habit of seeking places to reside in, little fire.
quented by his countrymen. He was lover
of solitude and study, and addicted to reverie
and much of his life was gentle and glim-
mering dream that glided to the music Of ro-
mantle traditions. At the time must now
refer to, he had selected as his abode one Of
the deserted palaces of the Venitan nobility
on the banks Of the Brenta. But he had no
acquaintance with the owners to interrupt his
solitude, for he had hired it from the steward
to whom their affairs were entrusted. II had
attracted his fancy, though it was much out Of
order, from having gallery of pictures,
chiefly portraits, sill remaining, and in good
preservation. There was also a large ne
elected garden with terrace along the river,
and in its shady overgrown walks the Eng
lighman sat or wandered for many hours of
the day. But he also spent much time in the
picture gallery, conversing with the grave old
senators, saturating his mind with the colors
of Tintoretto, and Paolo Varonese, and con-
templa,ing like modern Paris the goddesses
Of Titian's pencil. But there was one picture
which gradually won his very heart. Ii was
portrait by Giorgione Of a young Venetian
lady and the old servant of the house called
her La Celestina. She had the full and
luxurious Venetian FORM but, unlike any
other Of the female portraits, there was pro-
fusion Of rather light brown hair flowing down
her back, as one sees in some of the early
Italian pictures Of the Virgin, and the sunny
stream fell from wreath Of bay leaves. Her
dress was OF dark green silk. An antique
bust Of an old man was represented on
table before her, and her right hand and
raised ore.fnger seemed to indicate that both
she and the spectator on whom her divine
eyes we're fixed, must listen to some expected
oracle from the marble lips. She might have
served as lovely symbol Of the fresh present
world listening TO the fixed and Skyline
past. Her eyes were large and dark, but moi
lustrous; they seemed rather heavy, with an
inward thoughtful melancholy, as II there
was something in her situation or character
more solemn than her years or circumstances

LONDON MUp.-London mud is unlike the
mud Of any other city or town in the empire.
The paving stones of the metropolis, for per-
haps nearly halfa century, have been imported
in the little blocks from the granite quarries Of
Aberdeenshre this is ground down by the
everlasting roll Of wagons and other carriages,
and the abraded PARTICLES of the metal, when
moistened by a shower, assume all the adhe-
sveness Of Roman cement. To remove il
rapidly would require brush with bristles Of
the strength Of "heckle teeth" and we have
the authority of commercial traveller for
stating, that the London mud is well known,
and cordially hated, by the " boots" Of all the
inns within 200 miles Of ST. PauPs. An arti-
Gle which is comparatively worthless else
where is of much value here /; and the sweep
ing Of the streets are farmed out to contrac-
tors, by the parish authorities, often at high
premium. The mud is sold for many pur-
poses, but chiefly to be used as an ingredient
in the process Of brick-making, and thus
large sum Of money is turned over by means
Of the very dust we tread be.eath our feet

Mousseline-de-lain Manufacture, The
Glasgow Constitutional says: THE mousse
lane-de-laine was first introduced into this
country about three years ago, in fabric
composed wholly of wool, within the reach
only Of the weather. classes. To meet, how
ever, the pretensions Of all ranks in society,
mixed fabric, consisting of cotton and wool,
was substituted, coarser wool being employ
ed and the trade having got into great
number Of hands, the, mousseline- de-laine
may now adorn the person of any one who
can command the price of common chintz.
Formerly immense quantities were imported
from France, on payment Of heavy duty,
and when first introduced, sold at most ex-
travagant prices; but now the foreign goods
have been met with such active opposition
from the British manufacture, that they are
nearly altogether driven out of the market.
France has always had The reputation of pro-
ducing the finest goods in the world and had
our Gaelic neighbors not met with such pow
erful competitors in the British, they might,
for long time, and for the higher description
OF goods, have commanded a complete Mono
poly Of the British market. At this moment
the number Of hands engaged in this trade is
enormous. Besides those who are occupied
at the printing table, great proportion, near
ly one half, of the handloom weavers of Scot
land, are in full operation in manufacturing
the cloth; in almost all the villages in the
west there is scarcely loom idle, and we
are pretty safe in saying that there is not
respectable dealer who will find any difficulty
in obtaining employment from the mousseline-
de-laine manufacturers. This trade has given
mighty impulse to the wool trade, but at the
same time, it has considerably weakened the
hands Of the cotton spinners, who are COM
planning Of the small demands for particular
sorts OF their yarns. Besides other import
ant attributes, they possess the intrinsic adj
vantage-thcy do not at all ignite on coming
in contact with the fame, like muslin or cali

THE FATHER TO HIS FAMILY.

THE FATHER TO HIS FAMILY.
Come here, my angel hearted child
Come push aside the ringlets wild
That hide thy brow, where peace hath smiled
Since ever thou vert born
Come, / would kiss thy modest cheek, Ill.,
Wherein the roses seem To seek -
Unto thy fathers heart TO speak,
To cheer him when he's worn. ,.a
Come, too, my pretty, prattlng one,
Whose to,tering footsteps feebly run
To catch the rays Of golden sun
That stream across The floor!
Come, sit upon thy fathers knee,
And crow and carol merriy,
And shout aloud with infant gee -
What can wish for more.
Come thou, sweet wife Come, sit beside
These cherub ones, an honest pride
Here in my bosom come and hide
The blush Of love; and vow,
To God who hears the ravens cry,
The parents prayer, the orphans sign,
And pray that He be ever nigh
To save and bless, as now.
Whose is the lot in all this earth ~....
That TO the soul is of more worth,
Than his, who round his cheerful hearth
His best-beloved ones spies,-
All peaceful, blest-no angry storms
To beat upon their tender forms;
While love 10 God their bosoms warns,
And fits them for the skies!
