The MESSENGER is universally conceded TO be
The best Family Paper ever issued in this or any
other country.
Its contents are so selected and arranged that
the Farmer, the Mechanic, and the Merchant, the
Man of Business and the Man of Leisure, may find
in its we'll stored columns both instruction and en-
tertanment. AS the utmost care Is taken to ex-
cude every thing which could possibly offend
against MORALS AND GOOD TASTE, Parents can place
this paper in the hands of their Children without
any apprehension or hesiaton-a Circumstance
which, in the present degenerated condition of
portion of the Press, cannot be too highly estl-
mated

is determined to spare efforts, physical, intel
lectual or pecuniary, TO preserve, unmPaired that
superiority over all competitors, which his paper
is admitted to possess, and to urnish at just one
half the price. A Larger, Handsor1er, better Az
ranged, and more universally acceptable Periodi-
cal than is issued from any other Office This, he
knows, is a bold promise, but 1t is made with a
full sense of its meaning, and upon full examna-
ton of his abilities and resources; and, as during
a connection with the Periodical Press, longer
than has been enjoyed by any of his contemporaries
he has never, in a single instance, failed TO re-
deem all his pledges, he feels that he may conf
IDENTIFY as6 the public to rely on his assurances.

esq., Rev W. H. Delaney, &c. &c. and well
knows the nature OF the ingredients contained
in his BLOOD PILLS, and knows too their
adaptation in all cases where purgatlve IS re-
quired, or for purifying the Blood.
THERE is 40 RISK OR DANGER in employing
them, they contain no Mercury---they do not
produce inflammation Of the Bowels--they do not
produce disorganization of, nor do they lnIure
the digestive func,ions---they do not produce
he PiIes---,hey do not produce irreeularity of
The Bowels, or cos,iveness, as do other pills;
on The contrary, they will be found to obvlale
all the foregoing, besides being efieacious IN all
cases where purgaive may be necessary, and
for purifying the Blood and Animal Fluids.
So many recommendations of them having
been published from lime to time, certificates
from the North, South, East and West, editorial
comments on their character, &c. &c. that it is
deemed useless TO say much more OF lhem.
Ample directions, together with recommen-
da,ions from Physicians and others, accompany
each box of pills.

VICTOR Y!

VINO DOES NOT KNOW OF MR.. LEIDYs BLOOD
PILLS? component part Of which is SAR-
SAPARILLA.
The reputation of Dr. Leidy's Sarsaparilla
Blood Pills is so well known, that comment
upon their virtues is almost unnecessary. Suf-
fee il TO say they possess all the
PURGATIVE AND PURIFYING
properties that can be combined in the form of
Pills
NEWSPAPER PUTTING
is unnecessary TO their success.
Their efficacy, in one case, is sure intro
duciion and passport of them to thousand.
FIVE YEARS
Employment of them throughout the United
States, have made them as they deserve to be
VICTORIOUS!
Whilst the Proprieiors and Manufacturers of
other Pills, have been endeayoring TO humbug
the people in various ways 10 introduce their
Pills, publishing columns Of matter and boil
stering them up by
MADE, FALSE, LYING CERTIFICATES,
and atributing to their Pills the powers of ef-
fecling every thing, barely excepting the
RESTORATION OF The DEAD TO LIFE.
DR.. LEIDY has allowed his Blood Pills 10
become known by their effects; thus establish
ing them character that can never be taken
from them; and which is proof ircontrovertible
Of their qualities.
Most other Pills have gone out Of use since
their introduction; many have fallen into dis
repule, and some are now altogether unknown;
still few hangers-on endeavor to gull the ig-
norant by plausible (ihough false) reasoning OF
The extraordinary powers their Pills possess;
but the public are fully sensible of such impo.
siloh.

are now still; the hydrants are nearly o
quite deserted; but the sound Of runnin!
water, cold and refreshing, meets your ca
on every side and you wonder if it is pos
sible that you are in the midst Of grea
city, noted for its filth and swine! 1t re
quires no great stretch Of fancy, 10 mag int
yourself in some rural retreat, Astounding
with rivulets and streams, fresh from the
| hand of the Creator, and with such voices
as they have, uttering his praises. If you
enter the houses of the aillue1t, or those Of
persons who, without wealth, are acCustom'
ed to all the convenences Of life, you will
Ind branch If the same Croton supplying
all the wants Of the family - kitchen, bed
rooms, and all, with perhaps . shower, bath
IN the garnet. If house takes fire, all you
have to do is, to attach hose TO one Of the
hydrants, and direct the full stream upon
the burning building. Before many of the
engines arrive the fire will probably be
exlnguished. If you want TO supply yes
sci with water for voyage, just attach a
hose to the nearest hydrant, and conduct
the other end TO the water casks on board,
and they will soon be full. If the weather
is hot, aud the cutters foul, open the by
drants for half an hour, aud the filth will
have disappeared. Then there are The beau
tituI fountains playing in the public squares,
delighing the eye with their ever varying
forms, and the ear with their music. These,
too, are branches Of the same Invaluable
CroIon. But there is one disadvantage,
which in fairness we must not omit TO men
ton, as resulting from the introduction of
Crot0n water, viz: it takes away the old
standing plea for the use of brandy, &C.
Il can nj drink your water was the old
saying OF Strangers visiting the city, and
therefore it must be reclfied by a little Of
the grand panacea. Residents were pretty
much of the same opinion. There wds
reason enough for the complaint, but the
remedy was worse than the disease. The
introduction Of the Croton ought 10 accom-
plish much for the cause of Temperance in
this city, and doubtless will. 1t will pro-
mote the health, the comfort, the morals of
our cizens. and the safety Of our property
What will it not do? The writer of this
paid visit the other day, for the first time,
to The Croton reservoirs, They are mag
nifcent structures, especially the disrribui-
ing reservoir, which, though not so large as
the other is more substantial, and being
built above ground, shows to better advan-
tage 1t is worth any mans while to 60

An inc dent occurred on Spnd,y last,
in one Of the respectable streets Ct our
Ct y, which at any time won d have been
conside ed fright.ul, BIT which in these
temperance days is indeed most passing
strange. A young man, whose father
on d yng few years since, left him Il
fortune of $4,000, was seen to drive
up to the resid nee of his family in a
cab, so bca fly intoxicated, so awful in
appearance, as to strike every one with
abhorrence He was without coat or
hat, and the rest of his scanty clothing
was torn to pieces, and covered with
d TT, while from the fiightfui cash S on
his h, ad, the blood streamed down Over
h S face, spectacle Of horror Such a
spectacle ! such an object ! to present
itself on the Sabbath-day at the house
of MOTHER And tbs is wine
dr. nker, one who, we doubt not, has al
ways been strenuous advocate for an
occas onal glass, that occasional ola S
VIII oh is the source and origin Of all the
damning evils that bloat' d drunken SIS
accumulates upon its h. ad. This young
g nteman, no yet % years of age, hus
attred in his tattered and bloody habll
imcnts, pitched from the cab to tie
pavement, and then staggered up the
steps that led to his mothers dwellings,
What bitter, cruel out age But,
fortunately, that poor mother was spar
ed the appalling exhibition. The fam
lily hid just gone to church, and the son
was denied admittance by the servants.
This refusal tnraged the drunkard, who,
in attempting to force the shutters, rails
ed one by the hinge, which then fell up
on him heavily, wounding, and prostra
ting him upon the pavem Mt, from
whence he was taken into the house, and
subsequently removed to the hospital, =
This really frightllI scene was witness
ed by crowd of several hundred per-
sons, drawn together by the rawlings OF
he drunken mailman. His history,
brilliant, brief, beastIy should furnish
a powerful lesson to tn gentemanIy

Let no man expect 10 prosper in life, Of

comes to PASS, never to yield to viciou;

and care-by seduousIy guarding against
what is evil in its tendency - that any
individual can overcome the corruptions
of the world and the depravty of his
nature. A slight tampering with sin
once yielding to bad suggestion - may
pave the way for speedy ruin. Those
whose good examples have been lost 20
the Worldwide have fallen in the glory
of their days, were led in an unguarded
momen; from the firm basis Of truth and
integrity, and ere they realized their stu
alton, their names were furnished, and
they were lost. Who can tell the power

fair characters, lest darkness and fear,
like spectres, haunt you forever. 1t is in
your power TO become bless ngs 20 the

1t? Or by deviatng from the path OF

vicious and unprincipIed, will you prove
curses to mankind and perish, covered
with infamy? Beware, then, what you

The Journal of Commerce thus plea sanity
discourses Of this great lterprlse OF our
city:
"The impression is becoming general
among our citizens, that the abundant sup
ply of pure and wholesome water iurn-
shed TO 300 900 Inhabitants, by the intro
duction Of the Croton river into this city,
was mol too dearly purchased, even at II or
10 million dollars. The hydrants are now
so regulated that constant stream flows
from each, say half an zach in diameter,
and these 1900 fountains, scattered all over
the city, are free to all There is no labor
at pumping or drawing - just hold your
bucket, or sci it down, and it will soon be
filled with as wholesome and palatable
water as can be desired. If any one would
see how much comfort is afforded by this
abundant supply of water, let him pass thro
the streets in hot day or evening, espe.
cially those which are occupied chiefly by
laboring people, and he will want no further
evidence. To such an observer it will seen
as if everybody wanted water. The chill
dren - and adults too, in many cases - are
drinking at the bydrants, the women ant
men come with pals, pitchers, and cups
according TO the extent Of the wants whicl
are to be supplied; and none go empt!
away, or stinted in their allowance, for Their
is enough and to spare. If you walk OF
till late in the evening, (but perhaps yo
had better nol,) the same impressions vii
meet you in another shape. The street
