THE Coon FELLow-Provcrbs have
been called s'the current coin Of wisdom
among mankind )" and one Of these say
ings, which has been coined in the mint
of modern everyday society, .uns as fol-
lows: "a good fellow, means, good for
nothing" Who is the good fellow BY
observing a number of the individuals who
haze received this label in their daily iu-
tercou-se, we have concluded that he may
be characterized as follows: lie never
refuses to make an acquaintance, however
unworthy the proposed acquaintance may
be. lie is hand and glove-joke and
laugh-with loafer and knsve equally with
those persons Of position who will conde-
scend to accept him N srite of his associ-
ntions. lie will spend his last cent with
pot companions Of the meauest stamp, while
his family may lack some ordinary COM
forts at home. The idea of allowing a
group Of his associates to wat. for any
thing while he can command sixpcncc,
would be preposterous. But to deny his
children some little triHe for their amuse-
msn',is sim y a matter Of economy. He
cant aioad it. He would be a mean fel-
low TO leave his associate. befors two and
three o'clock in the morning. straight
and sober sided home sick ninny. But to
keep wife waiting up till those hours
to rob her Of her natural rest, is an affair
to Joke over when the next bottle is uu-
oVrked. TO squander hundreds in dissip-
alton among he Low and vile,is liberal and
generous. TO cheat the baker, the tailor,
and the shoemaker, out of their hard earn
ings, is simply smart-a standing joke
with the good fellow. In short, the good
fellow is rendered a nuisance to society by
being always generous before lie is just
always liberal in dissipation and miserly
where money is really wanted-always at
ten;ive to pot companions to the neglect
of his family, ana, finally, because his ca
recr generally ends by his going to the
almshouse to be supported at the public
expense.-Jaaiata .Sea,inel

Reason and Comm on Sense.

Our readers may remember we have on sevel
a preparation which DR.. SETH S. HANcE, of 1Ue
Baltimore street, Baltimore, Md, has discover
ed for the cure OF Epieptic Fits. Now, in do
ing 80. we have been actuated by the very best
motives, viz: the allev iation of human suffer
ing. From circumstances which have lately
come to our knowledge, we fear there is GER
t ain class Of persons who are not disposed tC
try this rrmedy in common sense man ner. -
We ulludc to the fact Of selecting particular
case in town where perhaps there are ak or
eight cases, and trying it on one case. Now,
one oe the whole number that it would not
cure. This is neither doing themselves nor the
medicine justice. lf a dozen persons were
striken djwn with cholera in one town or neigh
borhood, would they all send for physician,
or would only one employ him, and wait and
see if he cured the first patienti That plan
of procedure would be most absurd. So in the
case of DR.. Hance's remedy, every one who
has Fits should try it for reasonpble length
of time. II will not cure in day or week;
nothing worth doing can be accomplished at
once. What is easily done, is as easily undone.
The growth Of time is enduring. From the
most respecta BILE test timony we have examined
we feel assured that by a proper perseverance
IN this remedy, nine cases of Epilepsy out of
ten may be cured. The Pills are sent by mail
