THE LATEST STYLE OF "SuRPR1zE PART. ."-Ac cording to the Worcester Spy, young gent who was returning with merry party of ladies and gen. tlemen from ball at Clinton few nights since jumped from his sleigh and gave chase to what was supposed to be rabbit running along the road. He was successful in his pursuit, but-horror of horror tho rabbit proved to be skunk and administer ed an overpowering dose of his celebrated perfumery upon the unfortunate youth Of course his unfra. grant presence could not be tolerated by the super me broadcloths and silks in the sleigh, and the un lucky wight was secured to the rear of the vehicle and thus conveyed to Worcester, a melancholy illus tration of the effect of falling into bad company.

EDMUND BURKE" late Commissioner of Patents. 'BosToN. February 8, 1858. "Mr. R. II. Eddy has made for THIRTEEN ap- plcations, all but of which patents have been granted, and that one is pending. Such unms- takable proof of great talent and ability cn his part leads to recommend aN inventors to apply to hin, to procure their patents, and they may be of having the most faihfa attention bestowed on their cases and at very reasonable charges.

ANEcDoTE OF THE LATE MIR. KEY

\ distinguished member of the Bar in this city, happened some time since to be dining with P. Bar ton Key, Esq, who has just ended his career at Washington. After dinner the conversation turned upon the constancy of women, and MT. Key ex- pressed and defended with great warmth the opin- ion that women were naturally inconstant. and could always be induced to transfer their affections to the last man who would address them with the requisite hatteries and appliances He parted from his friend by pleasantly hoping that he might never practical ly realize the unsoundness of his own opinions. and 6y saying that he would send to him a little poem he had translated from the Spanish, which embodied his own sentiments on the subject The next day he sent him the following:
 One eve of beauty. when the sun /
 Was on the stream of Guadelquiver, To gold converting, one by one.
 The nipples of that mighty river. Beside me on the bank was seated
 A Seville girl with auburn hair,
 And eyes that might the world have cheated
 A bright wild, wicked, diamond pair. She stopped and wrote upon the sand,
 Just as the loving sun was going,
 With such small, white shining hand
 You would have swore twas silver flowing. Her words were three, and not one more
 What could Dianas motto be?
 The syren wrote upon the shore:
 "Death-not Inconsistency"
 And then she turned her 1anguid eyes
 So full on mine that Devil take me, set the air on fire with sighs
 And was the fool she chose to make me- St. Francis might have been deceived
 With such an eye and such a hand;
 Yet one week more and believed
 As much the woman as the sand.

AYERS Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,

the most cfectual remedy which the medical skill of our times devise for this everywhere prevailing and fatal malady. It is combined from the most active remedials that have been discovered for the cxpurgation of this foul disor- der from the blood, and the rescue of tho sys- tenn 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 ERuPr1vE and SKIN D1s- EASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE, ROSE, or ERT- sIrELAs, PIMpLEs, PUsrULEs, BLorcHEs, BLA1Ns and Bo1Ls, TUMoRs, TErTER, and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, RISGwoRM, RHEUMAT1sM, SYPH1L1T1c and MERcUR1AL DISEASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM V1r1ArED OR IMPURE BLOOD The popular belief in "impuri,y of the Jlood" is founded in truth, for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsa- pariIa is to purify and rcgcncrae this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions.
