DIR, KUECKELHAN'S
INFALLIBLE
WOR Nj POW ID e IL s .

VlNHE composition of this invaluable antidote
being simple and harmless to the constitu-
ton, is Of such certain efficacy in the expulsion
of worms that the inventor of it, actuated by the
strongest motives of benevoence, feels deslrous to
promugate its character.
Frustrated too often by tho uncertain effect and
frequent failure, as well of the common and sim.
ple drugs for worms, as Of the numerous secret
compounds and patent vermifuges, he has, after
an extensive use Of these pocders for fifteen gears
deemed his success complete, and now, induced
by the solicitations of thousands offers it to the
public at large confident himself OF contributing
mite to the public good.
This compound, although bearing its name from
its anthelminitic quality only, is equally valuable
in all disorders that originate in morbid obstruc-
tons and coagulations in the bowels. The effect
of it is thoroughly mundifyng and therefore it is
judicious prescription not only for certain classes
Of indigestions, dyspepses and gastric fevers, but
q variety of diseases created by sympathy of the
primary affected organ with the sensual and other
particular organs come under its reach. Pecu.
liar sore eyes, glandular swellings OF the abdo-
men and neck, chronic eruptions OF the skin, pain
in the joints in children, &C.. are cured with these
powders.
For the purpose of establishing the proof, of
this assertion, few of the many certificates that
might have been procured were added 10 the first
issue of this medicine, and are only augmented
by few more now, to avoid too large wrapper;
therefore, on the reprint Of the labels the inventor
allows himself to add only, that the ten thousand
packets leach containing ten ordinary doses)
which he put up two years ago, have been sold and
used such satisfaction, that he now is putting up
a sufficient quantity to accommodate more distant
agents.
The inventor of these powders recommends the
use of them in particular for children Then
weaker digestion. their greater and unruled and
unsegulsted appetite and their diet, predisPose'
them TO accumulations Of crudities and mucous
sediments in the bowels, and therefore subjects
them to all the thousand distressing symptoms
of determination and its consequences.
GTDirections are found on the wrappers OF the
packages.

lady, the following remarks on dress

would dress pleasantly, benevolently. |
saw lovely girl to-day looking unlovely
and un!oveable, because her muslin was
stify starched, to keep clean the longer. My
lawn dress tries in vain to persuade me
into the barbarous custom. To my mind,
a woman should always look as soft to the
touch as flower, and as pure. All her
garments should be made of the finest and
softest material possible; material that will
easily dispose itself into folds, falling grace
fully around her; and not by being liable
to ruffle it every moment, compel her to
stiff attitudes and starched demeanor, de-.
nying her all luxury of lounge and loll-
Why, my very words would grow prm

priety."

Slow. parted from the rocking branch,
l see thee floating by,
To brave, all desolate and lone,
The bleak autumnal sky.
Alas! the first, the yellow leaf
How sadly falls it there,
To rustic on the crisped grass,
With every chilly air!
1t tells Of those that soon must drop,
All withered from the tree,
And il hath walked sadder chord
In deathless memory.
Thou eddying leaf, away, away
There's sorrow in thy hue
Thou sound'st the knell Of sunny hours,
or buds and liquid hue
And thou dost tell how from the heart
The blooms OF hope decay;
How each one fingers, 10th to part,
Till all are swept away.

The Contested Bounda,y.-The disputed
boundary question between Iowa & Nilsson.
ri, seems now more likely to come to some
conclusion than ever before. In pursuance
OF laws passed severalIy by the contending
states, counsel have been employed and
several important steps have been taken to-
wards the settlement of the affair. The
Governor of Iowa has employed Judge Ma.
son on the part OF This state. The counsel
Of Missouri are James H. Green and Carly
Wells. An amcable suit has been made
up for the decision Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States, which embraces the
question at issue. The proceeding is in
Chancery, and consists of a bill in which
the State OF Missouri is complainant, to
which there is, on the part of Iowa, an an.
swer and also q cross bill filed. The next
step is the taking Of testimony, which, we
understand, will be attended to this fall per.
haps. There is slight expectation that
the case may be brought TO hearing at
Washington, next winter, but we scarcely
anticipate such good fortune. From the
importance Of the early settlement Of the
question, it should certainly meet with as
little OF laws delays" as possible. When
the decision comes, we have no fears but
it will be in favor OF Iowa.-Des Moincs

DIR. FRANKLIN-Dr. Franklin remarks
that man as often gets two dollars for the
one he spends in informing his mind, as he
does for dollar he lays out in any other
way. A man eats up pound of sugar
and it is gone and the pleasure he enjoyed
is ended; but the information he gets from
the newspaper is treasured up TO be enjoy
ed anew and to be used whenever occasion
or inclination call for it. A newspaper is
not the wisdom Of one man or of two men;
it is the wisdom of the age. and of past
ages too A family without a newspaper
is always year behind the times in general
information; besides they can never think
much nor find much to talk about, and then
there are the little ores growing up in
ignorance without any taste for reading.
Who then would be without a newspaperl

FIouTING PARsoN.--One of the compa-
MES from Mississippi, at the battle of Buc-
ma Vista, was commanded by a Methodist
Preacher. Just before the battle com.
menced, and whilst the troops were form
ing, it is said he delivered the following
pithy prayer, at the head of his company:
"Be with US this day in the conflict, oh Lord !!
We are few, and the enemy many. Be with us
as thou vast with Joshua, when he went down
from GiIgal to Bethhoron and Ajalon, to smi,e
the Amortes. We do not ask the for the sun
and moon to stand still, but grant US plenty Of
powder, plenty Of daylight, and no cowards.-
Take old Rough and Ready under thy special
charge. Amen! MARCH,"
His company performed prodigies on
the field that day.
