A Rich PUFF.-A manufacturer and vender
of quack medicines, recently wrote to friend of
his, living out west for good strong recon-.
mendation of his, the manufacturers 'Balsam.
In few days he received the following, which
we call pretty strong
DEAR SIR The land composing my farm has
hitherto been so poor, that Scotchman could
not get his living off of it; and so stony that we
had to slice our potatoes and plant them edge
ways, but hearing of your balsam I put some on
the corner of ten acre lot surrounded by q
rail fence, and in the morning found the rock
had entirely disappeared, a neat stone wall en-
circled the field, and the rails were split into
oven wood and piled up symmetrically in the
back yard.
put half an ounce into the middle of huck-
lsberry swamp-in two days it was cleared off,
planted with corn and pumpkins, and row Of
peach-trees in full blossom through the middle.
AS an evidence of its great power would say
that it drew q striking likeness of my eldest
daughter, drew my eldest son out of mill pond,
drew blister all over his stomach-drew load
of potatoes four miles to market and eventually
drew prize of ninety-seven dollars in the lot
terry.

AFFEoTIoNATE EpIrApHs.-Vixen wives have
always been considered fair game for the satirist
in prose and verse. Everybody remembers the
old joke of the husband who, learning that his
spouse was drowned, went to search for her up
the ricer from the place where the woman fell
in, alleging as reason that, ''dead or alive, she
was sure to go against the stream!" And here
is an old epigram, in too lnes-or rather an ep.
enough to wake up vixen, if she
was not pery dead indeed
"Here lies my wife Polly, a terrible shrew,
If said was sorry, then should lie too"
About as good, is the following, said to be on
o tombstone somewhere in Connecticut, but
never before published
Here hes nv wife, Adelia Ann,
The woman that made A. Mann;
She lied alive, and now lies dead,
To prove the truth of what she said.
