 AN INFAMOUS BUsINEss.-When an enter prising man strikes out new business, to the establishment of which he gives his in- dustry, time talents and pecuniarv means, can anything be more contemptible than to have another steal in, and, under specious pretexts, hold out to the public an inferior article, and endeavor to obtain their patro- mage? Pray, what difference is there, so far as the honesty of the thing is concerned, between purloining the business by which citizen hopes to make his bread and stealing the bread itself? A common thief, if he takes without leave, however hungry, q loaf of bread from bakers shop, is ap- prehended and condemned to the pcntentia- rv for daring in a surraptitious manner to appease his appetite; but put q respectable looking coat on his back and few dollais in his pocket, and he may, with impunity, nay, even with the applause of his fellows, by knavery, forgery or other infamous means, take the business of an honest man from him, and go unscathed of justice. AL this is wrong. Some years since a gentle man of this city (Udolpho Wolfe) introduc- ed to the citizens of the United States me dicated article of gin, which was highly ap- proved by professional gentlemen as supe- rior tonic and deobstrument, and the knowl- edge of which he, by advertisement and oth- erwise, disseminated through hecountry.- So soon as tricksters, who pass in the busl- ness community as honest men, saw that MT. Wolfe was likely to have handsome returns for the time and money which he had eI- pended, they set about forging his labels and palming off upon the people detestable and poisonous compounds which they have the hardibood to call "Schiedam schnapps." In some instances they have gone so far as to put Wolfe's name to their villainous liquids, As this horde are growing bold in theirras- calities, it is time the public in town and country were put upon their guard. Con- sumers should be sure that they purchase the genuine article, or else their health my be irreparably injured by using the horrible stuff that interruptions men, because they can buy it cheap, will offer as the genuine article. Pure Schiedam Schnapps can on- ly be obtained at the stores of respectable merchants and druggists, in town and coan- try, and at the establishment of Uaolpho Wolfe, Nos. IS, 20 and p Beaver Street, n this city, where it is gotten up exclusively We think 1t duty which Mir. Wolfe owes to himself and the community to publish ] by name, the rascalS who are thus attemp.- i ing to dcfraud both him and those who would be his customers. He should not permit his modesty to hold him back tI91' making so righteous an expose.

The Great Dickinson CORN s H N L l. F R /!
June 12, IS4.

F HAVE pufhased the patent right for X the above great Corn Shelter for the State of Arkansas, and will at an early day as possible be at Little Rock prepared to sell machines and the patent right for counties throughout the entire State.
 The right for this celebrated Corn Sheller has been disposed of for every State in the Union, at enormous rates, and it needs but to be seen to commend itself to every practi- cal man.
 1t comments itself,
 lst. By it's cheapness.
 2d Durability, simplicity, lightness, port ability, and ID chance to get out of order.
 3d, The manner of doing it's work-and this is curious enough. In all other ma chimes the corn is removed by grinding, crushing, mashing, tanning process, but in this it is picked off as q child would do with its fingers.
 4th. No matter what is the size of the cob, or shape, every kernel is taken off and done so neatly that not even the chut or husk that holds the corn is at all disturbed or rubbed off, hence the corn is clean-de- posted in bag or box, while the cobs un- broken are laid on one side by the machine itsef
 5th. All other machines require so much power that they are almost unless, while this is run and fed by boy of l2 years old, who will shell from so to 90 bushels day.
 9th. But the most wonderful performance of this curious machine, is the fact, that ii shells Wet and Green corn, just as easily as Dry corn.
 7th. This the only machine that will select and shell corn for seed, without injury to the grain.

LINES ON WOMAN.

To be read alternately, the first and second or the first and third, as it may suit the tast Or sentiment of the reader. The bliss of him no tongue can tell
 Who in $ woman doth confde Who with a woman scorns to dwell,
 Unnumbered evils will betide. They fill each leisurable day
 With joy and innocent delight; With cheerless gloom and misery
 Are none possessed while in their sight They make the dreary path of life
 A pleasant journey strewn with flowers A dreary scene of peaceful strife [power They quickly change with matchles Domestic joy will fast decay.
 Where female influence is unknown; Where e'er woman holds her away: A man Is in perfection shown. She's never failing to display
 Truth in its native loveliness; A heart inclined to butchery,
 A woman never did possess. That man true dignity will find
 Who tries the matrim0 0nial state; Who pours contempt on womankind
 Will mourn his folly when too late.

A Nebraska Meal.

Morton, of the News, is one of the odd editors. Hear him describing meal in Nebraska
 ''We always did like neat people. We always did cherish kind of tender feeling for all neat women. But we never were really Estrdcs by one until last week, and the way of 1t was about thus: we were sout vest few miles and got belated, looked for place to stay over night, found a cab in, asked if we could be accommodated, tall woman with freckled face, red hair, Buffalo skin moccasins, buckskin dress and free soil baby, said she 'reckoned we mout'
 We got off our horses, hitched them to a cotton wood crib and went in We asked for supper. We got some bacon, molasses, onions, boiled pumpkin and Corn Dodger. We ate heartily.
 After meal was past woman said to oldest girl, now Doddy Jane, you have jist got to keep that old slut and them are pups from sleepin in this ere meal box any longer. In making this strangers bread was first na- turally pestered to death pickin the small hairs and dead feas out of it; that came of from them pesky dogs. And if they sleep in 1t week longer it wont be fit to eat.
 We were in love with that woman on account of her neatness. And that evening we laid down upon the rough hewn floor and had pleasant dreams. Ghostly feas were hopping about through our corporeal diver sltieS and spectre sluts with goblin pups danced def0re us in boxes of unearthlv meal during the live long night. And our great great grandfather sat straddle of us six hours, and with the ramrod to six pounder cannon stuffed cords of that neatly prepar- ed corn dodger down our unwilling throats and whistled all the time for the dogs while the freesoil baby and its tidy mother sat by and wept for the departing hoe cake. We Ike neatuess.
