Many a young woman is there, who in
the loftiness of her own virtue, and in the
stately pride of an unchanged heart, would
have passed such an erring brother BY in
indifference, contempt, or in deeper dis
gust, and thus have left him to become
lost to himself, to his country, and to the
world.
Vice we may rightly abhor; drunken
ness we may, and ought to despise; but
the vicious and the drunken need our sym
pathies, and strongly claim our eounte-
nance-we should even go out of our way
in cur efforts to lift them ontheir feet again,
to hold them up, and help them forward
as long as they are willing to try and take
step themselves in the right direction.
by, doing gpf tthags Eh2 would have passed
busy themselves in thoughtless, if not mali
cious rehearsals of what they have seen
forgetting the deep reprobation Of conduc'
so inexcusable.
Let it be remembered, that true hu
manity consists in sympathy for the errins
"a sympathy not theoretical and superb
cial, but practical and real; sympathy
which spends itself in words of kindness
and in acts Of love and help. Let US re
member, that it is not for man, the crea
ture worm, to sit as Judge and executione
of his brother man. Let justice and judg
ment be in the hands of the Great Fathe
of all. The province of the creature is t.
live in the constant practice of the warn
benevolences of better and higher ma
ture; for it is BY these, and these mainly
that we are to throw around this world
chain Of love, and raise it up to God Thi
is hrist-like-this is divine.

An old Story in a New Dress.
BY F. E. PINER.
"I tell it as twas told to me.

A very long time ago, in the western
part of England, there lived an aged cou-
pie, whose time had passed away since
early youth, in the round of farm life, and
who had never been known to have the
least ill-feeling towards each other since the
time when good old Parson Heriot had
united them in the holy bonds of wedlock
twenty-five years before. So we'll was the
fact of their conjugal happiness known,
that they were spoken Of far and near, as
the happiest pair known. Now, the Devil
(cxcuse the abrupt mention of his name)
had been trying for twenty years to create
what is so commonly called "a fuss in the
family" between these old companions
But much to his modification, he had moi
been able to induce the old gentleman tc
grumble about breakfast being late once
or the cid lady to give single curtain
lecture. After repeated efforts the Devi
became discouraged, and had he not beel
person of great determination he woul,
doubtless have given up the work in de
spair. One day as he was walking along
in very surly mood, after another attemE
to get the old lady to quarrel about th
} pigs getting into the yard, he met an ol
woman near neghbor of the aged coupl
, As Mr.. Devil and the neighbor were ver
particular friends, they must needs stop c

Ihave been applied to by Martin ID. FL

ing and squeezing tobacco:
usedtwo ofthese machines upon my last
crop of tobacco, and before the spring was
applied, and considered it an invention Of
very great merit--of conrse the machine.

better, in as much as it accommodates itself

two of these machines. with about ffteeni
hands, between eight and ten Thousands

passing through them could not be gotten
in dry order. This is mistake, as have
found by experience, and the experiment Z

Compound Extract Of SarSapariIIa,

the most cffectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times devise for this everywhere
prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is combined
from the most active remedials that have been
discovered for the expurgation of this foul disor-
der from the blood, and the rescue of the sys-
TEN from its destructive consequences. Hence
it should be employed for the cure of not only
scrofula, but also those other affections which
arise from it, such as ERUPTIvE and SKIN DIS
EASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE, ROSE, or cry
sIPELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsTULEs, BLoTCHEs,
BLAINs and BoILs, TUMoRs, letter, and
SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD. RINGwoRM,
RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIC and MERCURIAL
DISEASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY,
and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM
VITIATED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular
belief in "impu1ty Of the JlOOd,' is founded in
TRUTH for scrofula is degeneration of the blood.
The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsa-
parilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1859-09-15

is constitutional disease, corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out in
disease on any part of it, No organ is free from
its attacks, nor is there one which it may not
destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously caused
by mercurial disease, low living, disordered or
unhealthy food, impure air, filth, and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the venereal infection. Whatever be IFS origin.
it is hereditary in the constitution, descending
I" fiom parents TO children unto the third and
fourth generation; I" indeed, it seems TO be the
rod of Him who says, Il will visit the iniquities
of the fathers upon their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver and internal organs, is termed
tu5ercles; in the glands, swcllings; and on the
surface, eruptionS or sores. This foul corrup-
tion, which genders in the blood, depresses the
energies of life, so that scrofnlous constitutions
not only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but
they have iIr less power to Withstand the attacks
of o,hcr diseases: consequently, vast numbers
perish by disorders which, although not scrofii-
lous in their nature are still rendered fatal by
this faint in the system. Most of the consump-
ton which deeimates the human family has its
origin directly in this scrofulous contamination
and many destructive diseases Of the liver, kid
neys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organs, arise
from OF are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking infec-
ton, and their health is undermined by it. To
cleanse it from the system we must renovate the
blood by an Alternative medicine, and invigorate
it by healthy food and exercise Such a medi-
cine We supply in

So wide is the field of its usefulness, and so
numerous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons,
publicly known, who have been restored from
alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use. When once tried, its superb
ority over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent TO escape observation, and where its
virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate
what antithOte to employ for the distressing and
dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs
that are incident TO our climate. While many
inferior remedies thrust upon the community
have failed and been discarded, this has gained
friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the
afflicted they can never forget, and produced
cures too numerous and too remarkable TO be
forgotten.
