> COMPOUND
CEDRON BITTERS,
The latest and Most Important Dis
cOvery Of the 10th Century.

NTO MANS NAME Is MORE INTIMATELY
IN connected with the history of the Materia
Medica of the United States, or more faSorably
known as q pioneer in medical discovery, than
that of DR.. JOHN BULL, of Louisville, KY. HIS
snimitsble preparation Of SaTsa parilla has long
stood at the h ad of the various compounds Of that
valuable drug. His COMPOUND PEcTcRAL OF WILD
CHEEKY has become a household word Throughout
the West and South and his Worm Lozenges, in
less than year after their introduction, attained
q reputation as widespread es tire continent of
North America. But the browning glory of his
life remains to be attained in AIS latest discovery,
or rather combination for he does not claim to
have been the disooyerer ofCEDR0N. which is the
basis Of the bitters now offered to the public.
That honor belongs to the native inhabitants OF
Central America, TO whom its virtues have been
known for more than two hundred years. Armed
with it, the Indian bids defiance to the most dead
ly malaria, and handles without fear the most
TenemoGs serpents. 1t is belief with them that
while there is breath left in the bdy, the 0edron
is potent to cure, matter what the disease may
be.
While DR.. Bull is not prepared to indorse this
extravagsnt pretension, he is nevertheless salts
fed from a thorough examination of the evidence
relatiYe to its virtues, that as remedy and pre-
tentative for all diseases arising from exposure
either to changes of weather and climate, or to
the miasmatic influences, ii stands without
rival and justly deserves the reputation it hos
long enjoyed in Central America and the Wes

\ Busy Pay DAY.-A profigate young
fellow, q son Of lawyer of some eminence in
Rhode Island, on a certain muster of inspec-
ton day, purchased horse of an ignorant
farmer, and engaged to pay for it on the next
inspection. When the inspection day had
come, and the farmer, unsuspicious Of the trick,
supposed the note to be due. he called on the
young man for payment. The latter expressed
great astooishment that be should call on him
before the note was out:
But it is out" said the farmer you
promised TO pay the next inspection day the
time Is come and I want my money"
." II yon look at the note again, said the
young man cooIly, you will fad it has a very
long while to run yet"
The farmer was sure the note was due or
ought 10 be. but on spelling over carefully be
found 10 his astonishment that it was not due

with the young scapegraee, but all to no pur-
pose, ard be finally laid bis case before bis
father. the lawyer The latter took his son
aside, and told him be had better settle the
claim at once. For" said he, though the

to have business enough on your hands that
day, without having your notes to settle" The
advice was taken.

THE SIEvEs OF SoCIETY.-Beware of oozy-
headed people, between whose ears and mouth
there is no partition. Before you make a bO-
som friend of any man, be sure that he is Sc
cret-tight The mischief that the non-retentiye
DO is induite. In social life they often set
whole communities by the ears, frequently
break up families, and are the cause Of nume
rous misfortunes, miseries ard crimes. In
business they spoil many promising specua
lation, and involve hundreds in bankruptcy
and ruin. Therefore be very careful to whom
you eutrust information of vital importance to
your own happiness, to the interests of those
you hold dear. Every man has a natural in
cllnation to communicate what he knows and
if he does not do so, it is because his reason
aud Judgment are strong enough TO control his
Inherent propensity. When you fnd friend
who can exercise absolute power over the
communicative instinct-if we may so term it
wear him in your heart, yea, in your heart
Of hearts" If YOU have no such friend, keep
your own counsel.

The next morning, the box arrived, and a
heavy box it was. The accompanying bill,
presented by the carter, amounted to 900
francs and some odd centimes. The landlord
