A Witty Auctioneer.-The following excellent
story loses interest because tits true A young
wag, who had made "gong, going, gone," his
proiesson--a great favorte among the knig hts of
the buskin, and all good fellows, besides being IA
chosen favorite among the ladies' - was once
mounted, hammer in hand, selling piece of fnrni
ture. He was well conversant with all the best
dramatic productions Of the day, and among the
rest the "Hunchback," then the rage Of Boston,
where the joke occurred. Fanny Kemble was at
the time delghting the town with her Julia, and
every booy was well acquainted with the celebra-
ted lines:
Clifford. why don't you speak to me.' etc..
which are ranked among the favorte points OF the
play. "Going, going-last call-fifty- -two-any
more fifty ythree-thank you, sir-fty- three dol
ars-last call-once, twice--any more ?-gone
Who is it?" There was pause, and nobody
| answered. "Who is it? who bid fifty-three -
"ClIford," cried voice near the door. o Cliff
ford, is it you? +" exclaimed the auctioaeer, drop
ping his hammer, and clasping his hands a la
Fanny Kemble. The joke was irresistible, every
body recognized it, and catching the spirit of the
| thing, the audience followed up an ecstasy of
laughter with three rounds of applause while the
| auctioneer drew out his handkerchief and wiped
his nose, in burlesque imitation Of Miss Fanny.
| "Clifford, did you say, sr2 Clifford F." said the
auctioneer, when the merriment had subsidized, "is
it cash, sir :" Clifford, the purchaser, it seems,
was bashful person, unacquainted with theatrical
| things, and had become somewhat alarmed at the
unaccountable good humor of the crowd, so that he
was afraid to open his lips again, lest he should
excite another burst OF fun.
:. Is it cash, sir r" again inquired the auctoneer
All eyes were turned upon Clifford, who looked
very much as if he felt that his mother might be
anxious about him, bet still made no answer
The merry auctioneer would rather lose his Gus
toner than his joke, and exclaimed, still initiating
the fery-eyed Fanny ~ 5.r :

TRUTH AKIN TO NATURE-Have YOU

TRUTH AAlN 40 NATURE.-Have you
pain! Be thankful. 1t is vigorous effort Of Nature
to throw off morbhc matter. From what may the
morbific matter arise? From bruse, or unwholesome
air which has become mixed with the blood not incor
porated IN It, but which is liable to faint the whole mass
il not speedily removed. Or the pain may arise from
bile which has become bad, rancid putrid in conse-
quence OF the want OF power in the proper organs to
discharge it. This pain, which frishtens people, is
only the symptoms of the efforts OF Nature (for the
vital principle Of the blood to expel the pecant or i'm.
pure matter. which would otherwise destroy the human
fabric al diseases are OF the solids or fluids, both.
When have pain in our head or in our foot in our
throat or in our back bowels let us but be- satisfied
that it is produced by the efforts of blood to throw
Oft morbc matter; and if this be so, if We can but
believe and understand this our cure viii be easy and
generally sure For will then be to help Ma
ture TO throw OFT the morbid matter, not to take away
the blood. For the blood, every drop we have is re-
qared to insure ultimate health TO the body. We must
not lose drop-neither must we any medicines in
ernaly which are not perfectly harmless, if applied
externally to the body. So must not use any Of the
preparations OF mercury, neither must We use any
getable medicine OF corrosive power.
In order to discriminate between TRUTH which is eter
nal, and CONJECTURE which is like transient vision,
must be guided by the light of experience. To what
does experience directs To the free use Of DIR. BRAN
DRETHS PILLS in all cases of bodily suf
ering. AS this advceis followed, will the health
OF tine body be. The writer has long used them and
has never found them fail otmpat ngreef In all acute
Diseases let Brandeth Pills and mild diet be used and
the patient will soon be restored to good health In
chronic complaints let the Pills be used as often as con-
yenient, by which the vitality of the blood will
be generally brought about the disease being changed
to acute, few large doses of Pills and few days
confinement tc the house will change the chrou-
icaIly diseased individual to a sound man. This
is no figure OF the imagination: can be proved by
thousand matter OF fact men who have experienced it:
Remember in all cases of disease, no matter whether
it be cold or cough whether it be rheumatism or
peurisy; whether be typus lever and ague, or bill
llous lever, camp whoopng cough measles; welh-
er it be scarlet fever or small pox: that the Pills
known as Bandret's Pills will surely dc moro than all
the edienes ofthe Drug stores for your restoration
to health, and what more, will surely do you no
harm.
