Hints on Cleanliness.

The following facts, taken from Dr..
Alcott's new work, entitled " Lectures ON
Life and Heolth," exhibited in a manner
somewhat striking the necessity of venti-
lating and cleaning cellars, wells, &C.,
and we place the article in this depart
ment OF our paper, as likely to have a
better effect than in any other.
" In the early part of my career as a,
medical practitioner, was called to the
house of wealthy farmer, whose nu-
merous family had been alarmed by the
sudden appearance in their midst of a
severe disease of the typhoid dysenteric
character. [ found the family in great
trouble, indeed the whole neighborhood
greatly agitated and distressed. = .-

To Professor HOLLOWAY,
Dear Sir am enabled to furnish you with
most extraordinary cure effected by your
invaluable Ointment and Pills, which has as
tonlshed every person acquainted with the
sufferer. About ten years ago, Mr.. W. Cum
minis, OF Saltney Street, in this town, was
thrown from his horse, whereby he received
very serious injuries; he had the best medical
advice at the time, and was afterwards an in
mate of different inf1rmaries, yet he grew
worse, and at length malignant running ul-
Ger settled in his hip, which so completely
crippled him, that he could not move without
crutches for nearly ten years; recently he
began to use your Ointment and Pills. which
have now healed the wound, strengthened his
limb. and enabled him to dispense with his
crutches, so that he can walk with the great
est ease, and with renewed health and vigor

TO Professor HOLLOWAY,
Su--Some time since, one of my children

without exaggeration, the effect was miracu-

eruptiOns quickly disappeared, and the child
was restored to perfect health.

adopted your medicines she would have been

truth of this to any inquirer.

No part of the system is more liable to

proper secretion to the bile; so that any
wrong action of the liver effects the other
important parts of the system, and results
variously, in Liver Complaint, Jaundice,

every symptom that might indicate wrong
action OF the Liver. These Pills being COM

A Customer.

A friend, somewhat stranger in the
city, came id awhile since to purchase
few articles of groceries, &c, and by
mistake got into wrong store-our
friend being of that fanatical sort which
prefers temperance stores to groggeries.
Seeing nothing suspicious about one of
the neatest looking places in Water
street, he entered, and finding things to
his mind, bought his wares, and was
about leaving, when he bethought of one
other article, which happened to be kept
up stairs. BY request, he followed the
merchant up, when 10 piles on piles Of
liquor barrels stared him in the face
Why! what are these ?" inquired
the fanatic in amazement, thinking nc
more of the article he was after.
Liquor, to be surc," replied he of
the tap.
"But I thought this was a temper

flea making way to his ear). "We

A1isfellancous.


She died upon winters night,
A long, long time ago;
When the large round moon had a wintry
look,
A IL shone on the breast of the frozen brook
And over the fields of snow.
As she lay that night in the pale moonlight,
Which fell on her peaceful bed,
She seemed like the form Of O sculptured
without sign Of woe or Of mortal taint,
With glory round her head.
With her eyelids closed and her lips apart,
And her arms like the marble fair,
Cross'd on her bosom and gently press'd,
She lay, as che sank TO her peaceful rest,
In the mute repose Of prayer.
When the morning broke, and we gazed
again,
A smile to her face seemed given;
And though our spirits were crushed and
sad,
The Christmas bells soon made us glad.
For We knew she woke in heaven.
