lake this opportunity Of informing their
friends that they continue the trade of ma.
king Drunkards, Bankrupts, Beggars and
Maniacs on the most reasonable terms at
the shortest notice.
The subscribers return their sincere thanks
to numerous customers, and to all the tip
ping part of the community, for the extcll-
slve patronage they now receive; and they
hope that the many proofs that are now to
be found of their success in the above line
OF business, will secure to them the in
creased support of drunkards and little
drop drinkers, as well as forever silence the
advocate of total abstinence societies, those
bitter enemies Of their long established and
popular trade.
Death & Co. beg leave to assure the pub
lie that the articles in which they deal are
the best and most pleasant poisons in the
world; and they will warrant them certain
death in every case where the individual
pcrseveres i'll the use of them.
Death e. Co., bring themselves under
obligations to send moro persons to the
poor house, the prison, the gallows, and the
graveyard, than any other firm; and they
will also do it with the greatest possible
dispatch; to accomplish those desirable
ends, it is only necessary for the individual
to take glass occasionally, till he feels
that quantity insufficient to crafty the
craving appetite Which it will soon create ;
and when this rum, wliskey, gin, brandy,
wine, cider, ale, or porter appetite is formed,
the persons are then prepared to bravo
temporal and eternal misery for the sake
OF another glass. In short, Death & Co.
will spare no pains or expense to bring the
wives and children Of their customers to
misery, temporal and eternal, and drive to
delirium and death as many as the public
good may require. They are constantly
receiving new supplies Of the poisonous Ii
quils, which they will sell by the glass, the
bottle, the barrel or tho hogshead
For the accommodation of their numer-
Gus customers, and for the dispatch of their
increasing business, Death & Co. have ap-
pointed sufficient number of active agents
who ale stationed at convenient distances,
in splendid palaces, beer shops, and public
houses and groceries may be known by
the squalor, filth, obsccnity, or misery of
the customers who congregate around them,
as well as by the odors Of the poisons con-
tinually polluting the air around.
Satisfactory reference can be given to
district jails, houses Of correction, lunatic
asylums, hospitals, work houses, insolvcnt
debtors courts, the court OF bankruptcy,
or the wives and families of those whom
Death Il Co. have had the happiness to
make drunkards. DEATH L. Co.
N. D.-Dcath & Co. beg leave to eau

this soul and body-destroying business

Farm Scrap Boohs.-Evcry planter and
farmer should keep scrap book. We do
not mean that he should collect pictures
and poems, and other dainty wares in a
splendid folio, but that he should obtain a
large and plainly but substantially bound
folio Of light cartridge paper or of wrap
ping paper, SO well made that it can be
written on. Then let him cut, or direct
his children to cut, from his county paper
everything relating to agriculture on which
lie cap lay his hands. To avoid confusion,
and for the sake of reference, lie would
do well to devote portion of the book to
each subject, and arrange them alphabet
calIy. Thus, under the letter A may come
general remarks on agriculture, apples, or
any other farming subject beginning with A..
Plenty Of room should he left in the mar
gin for the farmer to write down any re-
marks of his own. Such volume would,
in a year or two, become matter of con-
stant reference, and source Of very decided
profit.
THE Crude and the OLD -Arns CHAIR.
No house is complete without two pieces
of furniture-the cradle and the old arm
chair. No house is full that hath not in it
babe and grandfather or grandmother.
Life becomes more radiant and perfect
when its two extremes keep along with it..
The two loves which watch the cradle and
servo the chair are one. But how different
in all their openings and actions. To the
4 child the heart turns With more tenderness
of love, To the aged parent, love is borno
upon a service Of reverence. Through the
4 child you look atd--through, the par Ar
4 ant Won look backward. In tlA chill Won
