Rock Rose.

The following is an extract from note
found on the title page of q work published
by d. A. Tyler, M. d. of New Haven Conn,
on the efficacy of Rock Rose. These pages
were penned without any expectation OF
their ever being presented to the public,
since which time the plants (the Rock Rose)
under consideration, have been more fully
tested, their virtues developed and their
character more fully established. Thoy are
published by and with the appreciation of
several medical friends. The object of this
dissertation is, to lay before the members of
the profession and the public, the vi, tues of
a plant too much neglected, which undoubt-
edly, as an older member of the profession
once remarked to me, possessed far more al
terative powers than the popular Sarsapa-
rilla. ask for this plant an impartial
trial.

HoLLowAY's OINTMENT AND PILLS, AN
EXCELLENT REMEDY FOR OLD WOUNDS,
SORE LEGS, AND ScRoFULA. MIR. Turner.
of Penshurst, suffered for two years from q
dreadful sore leg, the deceased part extend
ing from the foot to the knee, and causing
a severe scorbutic affection, which spread
over the whole surface of the leg. He tried
every available remedy without being able
to heal or even to do the least good what
ever to it. AT length he commenced using
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and to the
astonishment of himselfa and others who had
seen the dreadful state Of his leg, these fine
medicines effected sound cure in about
five weeks.

B4~ We were somewhat amused a
few days since, at little incident which
we witnessed, and as we believe most Of
our readers are fond of the "littlc
folk" we presume they will not take i.
amiss if We record it.
While walking down the street, we
came up with large, stout-built man,
and at the same time some three or four
" miniature men," having hold of hands,
came rushing up.
Look out; exclaimed four years
old, Z" don't run over that man 20
The idea of a two-footer running over
and trampling under foot six feet of we'll
knit, well-proportioned humanity struck
us, at the time, as being rather comical.

n@ Picked up, in front of our Office,
yesterday morning, about sunrise, a
small, fiat bottle, containing, we should
judge, about one good stiff horn" Of
the meanest kind of gin. From appear
ances, the bottle had contained more
when it was dropped, but the cork, be-
ing something of Maine Law article,
had let some of the " critter" out. We
presume it was dropped by some patron
of our friend across the river. We have
the bottle, and should be pleased to de-
liver it to the owner, minus the gin
Chat we poured into the stove, and it

10r The result of the late election in
New York, according to the N. Y.
Tribune, is favorable to the Wings. The
next Senate will stand-Whigs, %
Hards (anti-Free Soil Democrats) 5;
Softs Free Soil Democrats) 2; not yet
ascertained, 8. The Assembly will con-
sst of so Wings, 2s Hards, 20 Softs,
and 2 Free Democrats. Several of the
Hards, with two or three of the Softs,
and one or two Wings, were elected on
Maine Law tickets without reference to
party designations. The two Free
Democrats were indebted to temperance
for large portion of their votes, as
were many Wings and some Democrats
besides. Probably about twenty of the
thrty-two Senators, with so of the 1913
Assemblymen are in favor of the speedy
enactment Of the Maine Law.

friends. Mr.. Smith then said, MY
dutiful child, I am now ready to prepare
your sermon for next Sunday What
do you select for your text q
"My dear father said Mary, Il
have selected the latter part of the for
ty-second verse of Luke" Mary hath
chosen the good part which shall never
be taken from herr
Very good, my daughter said he,
and so sermon was preached.
Mr.. Adams persevered in his suit,
In defiance of all opposition. 1t was
many years after, and on very different
occasion, and in resistance of very diff
ferent opposition, that he uttered these
memorable words: Sink or swim, live
or die, survive or perish, l give my
heart and hand to this MEASURE But
though the measures were different the
spirit was the same. Besides, he had
already carried the main point of attack
the heart of the young lady--and he
knew the surrender of the citadel must
soon follow. After the usual hesitation
and delay that attend such an unpleas-
ant affair, Mr. Smith, seeing that'resist-
ance was fruitlesS, yielded the contested
point. After the marriage was over,
Mrs. Adams remarked to her father,
You preached Mary a sermon on the
occasion of her marriage. Won't ycu
preach me one likewise =
"' Yes, my dear girl, said Mr.. Smith,
choose your text, and you shall have
your sermon
Well, said the daughter, Il have
chosen the tbirty-third verse of the
seventh chapter of Luke" For John
came neither eating bread nor drinking
wine ; and ye say he hath devil r"'"
The old lady, my informant, looked
me very archly in the face, when she re-
peated this passage, and observed:
1t Mary was the most dutiful daugh-
ter, guess the other had the most wit"
l could not ascertain whether the last
sermon was ever preached. Gin. Oh.
