SLIPS OF THE PEN By AN ELDERLY
WOMAN OF THE WoRLD)-After all, it is

Creditors and poor relations never call

The love that is fed with presents al

Promises go further than performances,
on the principle that Hope has as many
lives as cat, whilst Gratitude no sooner
crosses our path, then it is crushed with as
little pity as black beetle
Every woman has some cosmetic in her
cupboard.
Timidity in man is admired by women
a great deal more than it is liked.
Scandal is visitor, who never call:

Abuse of women, like the abuse of wine

THE DRUM DRUMMED OUT.--Mighty
is the drum, raising as it does lust of glo-
ry in the Christians heart, stirring him to
slaughter, and making bloodshed beautiful !;
sending him forth a terrible reaper in the
fields of carnage, and semaring him with
human gore as earth's best painting2 And
yet the drum--though beat by destroying
angel-sounds not so musical to us as the
painting and snoring of the railway engine.
The piston is more noble weapon than
the sword; the whirl and rush and thunder
of the train grinder, more truly sublime,
more suggestive of all that ENABLES man in
his purest thoughts and deepest sympa-
thies towards his fellow, than the tramp
and measured step Of glistening thousands,
shaking the earth they too soon are about
to de6le with fire and sword.-JerroM.

| JUsTIcE IN RUssIA.--Prince Leon Ko tch
oubey, of rich and ancient family, a man
of imperious character, had long employed
as his land agent an Austrian, named Saltz-
man. About year ago, when they were
alone in the princes cabinet, a warm dis
cussion arose about some account. a pis-
toll was suddenly fred, which wounded the
agent in the side. When some of the
household rushed in to see what had taken
place, the prince accused Saltzman Of
having fired the pistol at himself in spirit
of revenge, and to drag the prince into a
criminal trial. On the other hand, the agent
asserted that Prince Leon had fired at him
in fit of rage. The medical men who
we're called in declared that the wound could
not have been produced by the mans own
act. The case came before a police tribu-
nal, presided over by Gen. Pool. The in
fuence brought to bear on the court led TO
a declaration that the prince was innocent,
and the unfortunate Saltzman, being de-
clared guilty of woundng himself, was
thrown into prison. The sentence, in due
time, received the confirmation of the gov
ernor of st. Petersburg, and the affair seem
ed at an end. The wife of the imprisoned
man, however, was a woman of energy,
and she went about from door TO door with
her four young children, imploring every
one to aid her in obtaining justice. She
was at last called TO Tsarskee Selo, and al
so imprisoned, leaving the children to be
provided for by any one who might have
pity on them. Public rumor brought the
ga so III the kno,yteflgn of the Emueror and
he ordered an inquiry to be instituted by
the Senate, whose decision no one doubts
of. The following are said to be its dispo-
stions list, Saltzman, having been unjust
ly condemned, has right to fix the indem-
nifty which the prince should pay him; sec
ondly, the governor who confirmed The SEN
tence cannot be reached in his person, as he
is dead, but his memory shall be branded

is to be tried for injustice, and his two as
sistaRts in the affair shall be similarly treat

Scrofilla, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, faint, or corrup-
ton of the blood, by which this fluid be-
comes vitiatcd, weak, and poor. Being IN
the circulation, it pervades the whole body,
and may burst out IN disease ON any part of il.
No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there
one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous
faint is variously caused by mercuria disease
low living, or disordered or unhealthy food,
impure air, filth and filthy habits, the dc
pressing vices, and, above all. by the venereal
infection. Whatever DC its origin, il is hercdi-
tary in the constitution, descending from par
ents to children unto the third and fourth
generation 1" indeed, it seems to be the rod
of Him who saws, " will visit the iniquities
Of the fathers upon their children
Its effects commence BY deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulccrous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofnlous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys. brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people arc scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking con-
it. 10 cleanse it from the system we must
renovato the blood by Alternative medicine,
and invigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply in

Compound Extract of SarSaparilla,

the most cffectual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is com
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation Of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue Of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence il should be employed for the cure of
not only serofula, but also those other aifec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERupT1vR
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNYs FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PrMFLEs, PusTuIEs,
BLorcHrs, BLAINs and Bous, TuMoRs, TETrER

RHEuMATfsN, SYPHrLiTIc and MERcuRrAL DIS
EASES, DRoPsy, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLoop. The popular belief
in !" imp,Uity Of the blood is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
