TIE TRUE MAN.-IIonor, to a
merchant. is what valor is to soldier,
or charity to Il christian. Compared
with the merchant who effects insur.
ance upon property already lost, or
smuggIes goods, or CANDLES IN stocks,
the bcggar that hires babe and bills.
tiers his body into sores, in order to
excite the compassion and extort tho
charity Of The benevolent, is an honor.
able man. The man who sells one
thing for another, or less for more, or
an inferior for a superior quantity,
though he may enter large item on
the profit" side of his earthly ledger,
yet. in the Book of Life, he will find
it entered on the side of "loss." Is
there young man in this city, who
desires TO be enumerated in the moral
census. as a rascal subject of that
rascal kingdom of which Hudson, the
railway king" is the rascal sove.
reign? What are palaces and equip
ages, what though man could cover
continent with his title deeds. or an
ocean with his commerce, compared
with conscious rcctitude; with a face
that never turns pale at the accuser's
voice; with a bosom that never ,hrobs
at the !car of exposure; with a heart
that might be turned inside out, and
discover no stain Of dishonor? To
have done no man wrong; to have
put your signature to no paper to
which the purest angel in heaven
might not have been an attesting
witness, to walk and live, unseduced
within arms length Of what is not
your own. with nothing between your
desire and its qualification but the
invisible law of rectitude;--this is to
be man, this is to be child Of God.
He who cannot resist temptation is
not man.--Merchants Ledger.

From Arnold Bunan., the Ph,Ian,LropI.r

From Arnold Bufnni, the PhiIanthrOPIst.
Dr. Brandreth, my dear friend, ifto b: good
and to do good is tbe highest duty ofman and
give that he is good, then feel bound to ad-
dress thee as one who has come up to the mark
of mans destiny.
As a testimony that this Is not vain fattery,
give the following brief sketch Of my OWL ex-
perience:
When 1 was twenty years old, / was very
sick for about two mon tbs with what my physi-
eian called "Slnw Fever.7 during which time
took much medicine; from that time for "a
years. was very often sick and under the care
of a physician. About Twelve years ago had
a very severe attack Of Infammatory Rheu-
matism, during which l was attended by Dr.
Moore, Of Philadelphia. | then regarded N.Y.
self as an old man with broken constitution,
swiftly descending to the grave. Soon after
wards, however, ! purchased box of Bran
dreths pills, and finding them on trial. to be
more efectual in removing disease, than any
medicine l had ever tried before, repenish-
ed my supply from time to time, as occasion
required. Since that time have spent three
years in the Western Country, where / was
very much exposed to vicissitudes likely to
produce disease; twice l have crossed the At
lantic Ocean, and have now spent the last four
years IN an Office in this sickly city. Once
while travelling in the West. was taken sud-
dedly very III, the friend at whcse house stop
PEG called in physician, who made a very
careful examination Of my case. and then pro-
posed to commence a process which be stated
would so reduce my system as to confne me to
the house for at least six weeks, but declined
his prescriptions, took dose Of BrlnIreth's
Pills, called the next day and paid the physi-
clan for his visit, and pursued my travel, and
this is the only instance of my being visited
by physician since j purchased the first box of
Brandreth's Pills l2 years ago.
My health is now vastly better than it had
been for "a years 5efore commenced the use |
Of these Pills. They have been my constant
companion wherever l have been, by land or
by sea, and my only medicine; am now
ten pounds heavier than | was before | used
them; when l take a cold now, have no
cough, and attribute all this change, under
God, to the substitution of Brandreth's Pills,
for the frequent bleeding and the calorel dos
ing TO which was before subjected. My wife, |
too, by the same means enjoys the same unin-
terrgpted good health. Our Doctors bill foI
both Of US, have not amounted to FIVE dol ars in |
twelve years. When we find our health i'm
paired from any cause, we take dose of Bran |
dreth's Pills, and the difficulty is removed, |
and judging from my own experience, believe !
II every family should adopt the same practice, !
the health and the longevity of the eommuni-
tF would be greatly promoted.
Most respectfully thv friend,
ARNOLD BUFFUM.
