that is, that these monkeys display most OK:

a good and hearty laugh, these dull times will
prove well worth all we have to pay for it, either
in money or time. Laughter is a good nedi
cine for many complaints-but especially for
the blues, with which not few of our citizens
are troubled just now. 1t is better thing to
go to sleep on than the best oyster supper, for
'laugh and grow fat" says the proverb. We go
in for the laughing part, at all events, and ex-
poet to see large quantity of laughcrs at
Washington Hall this evening.

IT Is NOT OFTEN THAT WE NorrcE EDrroRrALLY
patent medicine; yet we feelit duty when we
are convinced an article is very merritorious to
inform the public, that they, too, may be bene'
fitted by its use, and to prevent them from using
other articles that have no merit in them.
Now we wish particularly to recommend to
our readers, Dr.. .Santord's Licer iapigorator, as
an article that has given benefit and performed
cures, in our circle of acquaintance, that were
little less than astonishing. 1t is particularly
recommended for all Diseases of the Liver, as it
is a Lire,. Incigorator Especially among our
own children have we noted its beneficial effects,
where the little sufferers, from bowel complaint,
worms and other diseases, incident to children,
have been made quiet and perfectly cured by
the use of the article. 1t has testimonials that
none can doubt, for the cure of Jaundice, Dys-
pepsia and such troubles as always follow a de-
ranged Liver. a few such cases have come un-
der our observation where it seemed almost to
work miracles.
Our advice to families is not to be without it,
as it will save many hours of pain by its speedy
use when disease first makes its attack. 4LatOo-

and repose had settled upon the city. When
about a square distant from each other, the wag
gave vent to Impressed and threatening
growl. The whistler dropped a note. Another
erowl and another note was lost from the now
desultory tune As they came nearer the grOwl

walked into the street and picked up stone,

"As he had been a fonl of Pegasus kind"
The wag could not restrain loud laugh, which

it came his turn to run to save himself from the
furious shower of stones and curses sent after
him by the nocturnal prowler, who had been so

and Omnipotent Providence.
In conclusion, he addressed himself to the
citizens and the pupils of the Seminary, upon
the paramount importance of an enlarged course
of female education; and TO this end, earnestly
invoked the energetic patronage of the commu-
