next morning was taken with severe vomiting. &C
companied with GOODNESS Of the extremities. Warm

advised me TO take it took two doses, at intervals
of fifteen minutes. fine perspration ensued, and

VINEGAR-FAcED GENTRY.-There is
class of men in every community, says
an exchange, who go about with vinegar
faces because they are not appreciated as
they should be, and who have a quarrel
with what they call their destiny. We
hate such people. They are nuisance
and pest. They make all in their in
huence uncomfortable. These men have
usually made grave and great mistake in
the estimate of their abilities, or are unmi-
tigated asses. Whenever this fault find
ing with ones condition or position occurs
there is always a want of self respect. II
you are right down clever fellow wash
the worm-wood off your face, and show
your good deeds. Then if people feel
above you why return the compliment,
and feel above them. If they turn up
their noses because you are . mechanic, OF
a farmer, or ahop boy, turn up your nose
notch higher. If they swell when they
pass you in the street, swell yourself. De-
liver us from the whining fools who &C
round like babies telling how people abuse
them, and whining because society vii
not take them BY the cellar, and drag then

.2Dprjlorrpns,

nara Gentleman from New York, who
had been in Boston for the purpose of
collecting some moneys due him in that
city, was about returning, when he found
that one bill of hundred dollars had been
overlooked. His landlord, who knew the
debtor, thought it doubtful case, but sd-
ded, that if it was collectable at all, tall
raw-boned Yankee, then dunning lodger
in another part of the hall, would worry it
out of the man.
Calling him up, therefore, he introdu-
ced him to the creditor, who showed him
the account.
wal, Square, said he, 'taint much
use o tryin', I guess. l know that critter.
You might as well try to squeeze lie out
of Bunker Hill Monument as to elect

what'll you give Sposin' l do try!'
We'll, sir, the bill is one hundred dol
lars: I'll give you-yes, I'll give you
half, if you'll collect it.
Greed replied the collector; there's
no harm in tryin' any way
Some weeks after, the editor chanced
to be in Boston, and walking up fremont
street, encountered his enterprising friend
Iook o'here,' said he, Square. I had
considerable luck with that bill O your'n.

A Cool REPLY.--An amusing coloquy
came off recently at the supper table, on
board of one of our Eastern steamers, be-
tween a Boston exquisite, reeking with
hair oil and Cologne, who was "deming"
the walters, and otherwise assuming very
consequential airs, and raw Jonathan,
who sat by his side, dressed in homespun.
Turning to his "vulgah" friend, the for
mer pointed his jewelled finger, and said
"Buttah, sab" "I see it is" cooIIy re-
piled Jonathan. "Buttah, sab, I sayw

kingly reiterated homespun. "BUTTAu,

still louder tones, pointing with slow, un-
moving finger, like scorn's, and scowling
upon his neighbor as if he would ami
hilate him. "Well, gosh-all-J Jerusalem,
