DIR. URBAN'S
AUTHORITARIAN ELIXIR:
A safe and sure remedy for the cure Of
lNTEMPERANCE.

It is not in the least injurious to the system.
It is pleasant to the taste, and will cure the
hardest cases Of intemperance. We wARaASr
il, in all cases, il taken according to directions.
II destroys the desire for all ardent spirits when
strictly taken according to directions, and will
restore the individual to the same state of so
briefly in which he was before he ever drank a
dropof the ardent, and he will not have the least
desire for Intoxicating drinks.
Intemperance is a disease; and as such the
greater the excess in drinking the more sBedi
" is the disease developed and to such the Elk
II is presented as the balm Of Gilead-the Oil
of consolation peace and perfect restoratYsn..
The more fully developed is The disease the
more salutary and powerful the effects Of this
Elixir, at once destroying the appetiteafor spi-
rits, and restoring the stomach to as healthy an
action as it was before drinking drop of ardont
spirits; and when intemperance has assumed
this diseased form, reason is measurably de
thIoned, the will to certain extent becomes
ungovernable, until often, alasl many have pas
sed the bounds Of sober restraint, and though
they may desire, in their sober moments, to
abandon the use of that which is so rapidly pro.
wing their bane, they cannot, unaidcd, and no
aid has been rendered such, with success until
the discovery Of DIR Urban's never failing Anti
Bacchanaliap Elixir; since which time none are
left without excuse, as the means necessary to
destroy the taste, and again enthrone reason,
bringing the will into perfect subsection, by ex-
tracing the poisonous sting and temptation of
the adder,are placed within every mans reach:
those, therefore, who hereafter fill the grave of
the drunkard must do so by choice, and not of
necessity--it matters not how near it you may
| now be.
As the Elixir is the most powerful purifier Of
the blood, the seat Of all diseases, it has been
| used with great success, and is highly recon-
| mended in cases of Delirium Tremens, Dyspep.
STA, Epilepsy Neuralgia. Liver Complaints, Gen.

SPEAK mot to him q bitter word.


Would'st thou wonderer reclaim,
A Wild and restless spirit tame;
Check the warm flow Of youthful blood,
Aud lead LOST ONE back to GOdl
Pause il thy spirits wrath be stirred,
Speak not to him a bitter word,
Speak not--that bitter word may be,
The stamp that seals his destiny.
n widely he hath gone astray,.
And dark excess has marked his way,
IT'S pitiful: but beware, (:
Reform must come from kindly care,
Forbid thy parting lips to move,
But in the gentle tones Of love,
Q Though sadly his yonng heart hath err'd,
Speak not to him bitter word.
The lowering frown he will not bear,
Thy venomed chidings will not hear,
The ardent spirit will not brook,
The vengefuf brow or bitter look.
Thou wouldst not goad the restless steed,
To calm his fire or check his speed;
Then let no angry tones be heard
Speak not TO him bitter word.
Go kindly to him; make him feel
Your heart yearns deeply for his veal;
Tell him tho dangers thick that lay,
Around his "widely devious way"
So shalt thou win him, call him back,
From pleasures smooth, seductive track;
And warnings thou hast mildly given,
May guide the wanderer up to heaven.

Cure for Rose Bugs.

A subscriber to the Cultivator
wishes to know if any one could sug-
gest a method to prevent the yearly
incursion Of the Rose Bug, and hav-
ing heard considerable complaint
among our neighbors of having their
cucumbers, grapes, &C., destroyed
by insects, ! will suggest remedy.
Plant in the center of your garden a
few damask rose bushes, and they
will never light upon any thing else.
We have large garden, with almost
every kind of fruit, vines. shrubbery
and flowers, with several kinds Of
roses, and in the center we have four
punches of damask rose. When
they are in blossom, go into the
garden once a day with pan Of hot
water, and shake the bugs from the
roses into the water, and get about a
pint at one time; this practice for a
few days, and then they will disap-
pear.

pY B. r. sHILABER, THE MRS. PARrINeroN' OF THE
BOSTON PRESS.

Old Grimes Is dead that good old man,
We ne'er shall see him more;
But he has left son who bears
The name that old Grimes bore.
He wears coat OF latest cut.
His hat is new and gay;
He cannot bear to view distress,
So turns from it away.
His pants are CATERS, fitting snug
Der patent. leather shoes;
His hair is by barber curled;
He smokes cigars, and chews.
A chain Of massive gold is borne
Above fashy vest;
His clothes are better every day,
Than were old Grimes best.
In Fashions courts he constant walks,
Where he delight doth shed;
His hands are white and very soft.
But softer is his head.
He's six feet tall no post more straight,
His teeth are peariy white;
In habits he is sometimes loose,
And sometimes very tight.
His manners are of sweetest grace,
His voice of softest tone;
His diamond pins the very one
That old Grimes used to own.
A hickey tall adorns his face.
His neck scarf Of blue;
He sometimes goes to church. fofehange,
And sleeps in Crimes pew.
He sports the fastest "cab" in town,
Is always quick to bet;
He never knows who's President,
But thinks "Old Tips in yet.
He has drunk wines of every kind,
And liquors cold and hot;
Young Grimes in short, il just that sort
or man Old Grimes was not.

From the Boston Journal
A Sailors Life at Sea.-A Brave
Boy.

1t will be remembered that some
two months ago, the ship Golden Light
from this port for California, was
struck by lightning and burnt, when
only few days out, and that her
passengers and crew took the boats
four in number. Those in two of the
boats were picked up by vessel and
brought to this port; and afterwards a
third boat, with seven of the crew on
board succeeded in reaching Antigua
one Of the West India Islands. Five
of these latter reached this city last
night, in the ship Sarah, from st.
Thomas, having been forwarded by
the U. S. Consul there.
From the lips of one of the ship
wrecked men, we learn the history of
theirdeliverance from death. Before
the four boats left the burning ship,
they all having been provisioned
and supplied with barrel of water,
the captain gave them certain in
structions as to their course. The
sailors of whom we speak were in
whaleboat, which was one of the three
sent out in the ship as freight. AZ
ter starting from the ship they soon fell
to the leeward of the other boats and
lostsight ofthem, the fourth boat which
is still missing, being the last one
they saw. They tried to speak her,
but could not make themselves heard.
Finding themselves alone upon the
ocean in frail boat, they put it be-
fore the wind with many misgivings
as to their fate.-Among them was
a young Yankee boy, but ill prepar-
ed for such hardships as he was a.
bout to undergo. Hehad saved from
from the wreck his Bible and his
mothers miniature, and he often oc-
cupied the weary hours of suffering
by reading the former. Continued
vigilance was necessary to keep the
boat from swapping, and the boy in
question calmly performedhi his allotted
share of the duty, his conduct being
in this respect, striking contrast
to that oftwo Portuguese sailors, who,
with loud outcries and lamentations,
declared that there was no hope, and
spent most of the time in tears. Sew
eral times great waves filled their
little boat with water, and it seemed
as if they must go down, but by ac-
tive exertions they bailed it out, and
pressed forward for the land. They
had no compass, and steered by the
sun in the daytime and the stars at
night. The salt water had spoiled
their food, and they found to their
dismay that their precious barrel OF
water had half leaked out.
After this discovery they were put
on short allowance of water, and
their sufferings from thirst were very
great, so much so, that they could
eat but little as it increased their
desire for water. They were fearful
that each would rob the barrel during
the sleep Of the others, and this, with
their inconvenient position, and the
continued call upon them for active
exertion, prevented them from taking
much repose. When they left the
zhip they had a large sail, and they
manufactured from their clothing a
small sail which they put up in stor.
my weather. Twice vessels came a.
cross their track. In one case the
vessel, a schooner. came within hall
a mile and their hopes ofdeliverance

GRATING WAx.--Many mixtures
have been prepared for this use,
and each in turn has been set aside
for cause. What is called by scnlp-
tors modelling wax is the best, as it
is entirely proof against water, and
its contraction by cold, or softening
by heat, is not sufficient to cause il to
run or crack; it may be formed into
any form without breaking up granu-
lar or mealy. Melt beeswax, and,
while melted, stir in about one quar-

balls, the warmth of the hand, and
slight working will render it soft, so
as to be pressed over the incision
and around the scion. If small
quantity Of vermillion is added, it will
be of a beautiful red color and insects
will not travel over it to attack the
scion.
