va A great many learned ~treatises have been
written, explaining the origin of, and classifying
the worms generated in the human system. Scarce
ly any topic of medical science has elected more
acute observation and profound research and yet
physicians are very much divided in opinion on the
subject. 1t must be admitted, however, that, after
all, a mode of expelling them aud purifying the
body from their presence is of more value than the
wisest disquisitions as to their origin.
Such an e~xpelling agent has at last been found.
DR.. M'Lane's Vermifuge proves to be the much
sought after speeihc-its efficacy being universally
acknowledged by the entire medical faculty. As
further proof. read the following from q lady-one
Of our own citizens:
New York, October Is. 1852.
This is to certify that l was troubled with worms
for more than a year. I was advised to use Me-
Lanes Celebrated Vermifuge. / took one bottle
which brought away about fifty worms 1 commen
ced improving at once, and am now perfectly well.
The public can learn my name, and further partic-
ulars, by applying to Mrs. IIardie, No. 3 Manhattan
place, or to f. l.. Theall, Druggist, corner of Rut.
ger and Monroe streets.
p S. DR.. M'Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, alsC
DR.. MLane's Liver Pills, can now be had OF al
respectable Drug Stores in this city.
Va Purchasers will please be careful to ask for
and take none but DR.. M'Laue's Vermifuge. Al
others, in comparison, are worthless. 8

the conflict. How bitterly my heart
reproached me that hour. They noticed
my agitation, and his old friend-the
seaman who held his head-said sadly /:
"Poor little Dick-you'll never see
the shore you have wished for so long.
But there'll be more than one, when
your logs out"-hn srnka with emotion
=" to mourn over YOU"
Suddenly the little fellow opened his
eyes and looked vacantly around.
Has he come yet 2" he asked in /:
low voice
Why won't he come ?"
81 am here," said 1, taking the little
fellows hand" Don't you know me,
Dick Z"
He smiled family in my face. He
then said:
You have been kind to me, sir
kinder than most people are to an orphan
boy. l have no way to show my graft
tude unless you will take the Bible yor
will find in my trunk. It's small
offering know, but it's all l have"
burst into tears he resumed:
"Doctor, I am dying, amt l 7" sale
the little fellow, &c for my sight grows
dim. God bless you, Mr.. Danforth."
"Can l do nothing for you, Dick ?"
said |, "you saved my life-I would
coin my blood to buy yours"

to live only, if it's possible, let me be
buried by my mother-you will find the
name of the place and all about it in my
trunk"
+" Anything = everything, my poor
lad" l answered chokingly.
The little fellow smiled faintly-it
was like an angels smile, but he did not
answer. His eyes were fixed on the
stars Pickering in that patch of blue sky
overhead. His mind wandered.
It's long, long way up there-bu
there are bright angels among them

|shopkeeper, but he has gone some-

The doctor said hc wasn't in hurry
and could wait as we'll as not; he saw
his horse at the door, and thought he
must be back before long. The man
remained hid and the old doctor waited

he himself went out, and was just step
ping upon his wagon, when the doctor
darted at him from doorway.
"Well, Mr.. -" said he, "you
needn't dodge me any more that note
has been paid up these six months, and
1 have been trying to see you that |
might pay you back twenty dollars that
you have overpaid me-"
The recollection Of hiding behind that
rice cask an hour, to avoid being paid
twenty dollars, haunted the man as long
as he lived, and among other matters OF
advice that he gave his children was this ;

DOdging a Dun.

Some know how to do it, and can
scent dun at any distance, and dodge
him effectively. 1t is knack acquired
by long experience. If the dun, how
ever, by his experience becomes expert
the dunnee stands slim chance of es.
cape. The dun becomes equally sen.
sitive in detecting the debtor, and Otter
are practised, between the two, maneu
ures that would pale the reputation o.
those even of Napoleon himself.
We heard story the other day of old
DR.. g., of Portsmouth, which though
not having any very great relevancy to
the preceding paragraph, is nevertheless,
to the point as regards amateur dunning
For there is wide difference between
the amateur and professional.
DIR. G. was man of great integrity
and worth, and his business habits were
on the square-exacting everything that
was his own, and paying every man his
due. He held note against gentle
man of Hampton, for some considerable
amount, and whenever he met him the
Doctor was ready, note in hand, for the
payment of the instalment. 1t became
at last an agonizing dread with the
debtor about meeting the doctor, par
ticularly at a time when troubled, as
men have been in all ages of the world
with disease known in financial par
lance as "shorts." But whenever he
met him, the Doctors dun would be
anticipated by his debtors movement
for his pocket book and frequent pay
ments were made without seeing the
note at all, or inquiring as to the chances
of its eventual payment. He knew that
the doctor was honest, and that it would
be all right and several payments were
thus blindly made.
A greater dearth of funds made him
more shy of meeting the doctor, and as
he passed through the town, his eyes
wandered in all directions to catch a
glimpse of the doctor, and avoid him ifI
possible. He succeeded admirably for
while, and out generated the old man
for some time but fate does not always
favor the brave, and the doctor, from a
distant position, saw his victim one day
tie bis horse to post and enter store.
He made all the haste he could, and
entered the store just as the debtor
lodged behind the rice cask.
"Didn't / see Mr.. - come in here y"
asked the doctor peeping around. Il
He did come in here, sir" said the :

OLD WoMEx.-If a whimsical or a
ridiculous story is told you of any one,
it is sure to relate to an old woman! II
a man lacks wit, or is any way &C.
centric in his ideas Of neatness and pro-
priety he is called an old woman. A
deficiency of firmness of purpose, or
timidity in intercourse with the world,
subjects to a similar epithet and what
does the common sense of this saying
amount to : Simply this, that a man is
like his mother. And who, pray, is a
real mother' A being filed with dis
interested love for her ofspring' Did
any ono ever hear of selfish mother
of one who would not practice self denial
that she might minister to her children !
Here, then, is trait which is really old
womanish, and the only one, in our mind,
that distinguishes the peculiarities Of
venerable females from those of selfish,
bombastic men.
