GOLDEN
ITCH OINTMENT.

4 SAFE, convenient and cfficacious ROM
"a edy Tor that most disayrerabIc and tor
mcnting disorder--the lrCH-has been
always greatly needed but no one, it is
presumed. has before been discovered which
will certainly effect a cure without having
ingredients in 1t both disagreeable and dan
gerous. Those that have attempted its euro
with birthstone, have generally applied 1t
with mixture of hogs fat. or lard, worn for
several days, OF dried in hv the fire, either of
which exposes the patient to the most i.nmi-
nent danger Of taking cold, by opening tho
pores of the body, and at the same time
impregnating the blood with q poisonous
quality, and weakening and facilitating the
whole constitution others have used oin:-
ments which have either proved dangerous
to health, or insufficient to effect cure.
But this will as certainly cure the ITCH
rs it is applied; it is easy and safe for any
age, habit or constitution, and attended with
no disagrceablc consequences of any kind,
either at the time of using it, or at any time
after, as can be proved by thousands of peo-
pie of diferen, ages, constitutions and states
Of health, who have used this ointment, and
have been cured by it.
No family ought to be without this valua-
BILE medicine ; for, on the first appearance of
this disorder, on the wrists and betwixt the
fingers. &C., slight application of this Oint-
ment will cure ii. and prevent its progress,
and likewise its being taken by others. 1t
may also be used as u preventive, by touch
ing the hands or the inside Of the gloves once
in while with little oft, when there is a
suspicion that the disorder is prevalent, and
there is danger of taking it. For which rea-
son no people abroad on business, no student,
traveller, soldier or sailor, should be without
this Ointment which is neatly put up in tin
boxes, convenient to carry, agreeable in it's
smell, and will last good for long time. By
this prec,ution, neighborho Gods, societies and
schools might be freed from this tormenting
disorder. Should the patient have any
other eruption or breaking out, which no
mistakes for the lTCH an application of this
Ointment will do no harm, but often cures
the common breaking out, which arises from
a sharp, hot humor in the blood, and leaves
a smooth polish on the skin.
There have been many Ointments offered
to the public, for the cue Of the IrCH, but
this valuable medicine bears no analogy to
them in its materials, use, or effects they
being generally made up of grease, brm-
stone, tar, mercury, spirits Of turpentinc,
salt peter, and such like disagreeabc mater
ials, which are loathsomo to use, and unsafe
and II certain in all their effects.
Ds,yt- Druggists can be supplied with this
Ointment by tho Gross or Dozen, at reason

at Philadelphia, and afterwards he was IN
the penitentiary at Sing Sing. His name
when | first met him was not Popplewell,
but Caleb Frish, and But at this point
Baron Dyring, whose bronzed face had
grown ghastIy pale, gave groan, dropped
into a chair, covered his face with his hands
and sobbed. His grief was terrible, for he
now bitterly reproached himself with having
encountered his estate, and ruined his tami-
ly in following the advice of a specious ad-
venturer And certain it turned out that
irish or opplewell-who never appeared
again at Rothesgaard, knowing too well
that the game was up-had led the Baron
into disastrous follies.
I found that the Agger ford had been in
great measure drained; so far as to leave
many patches Of bare mud, and the ruins of
hamlet visible. But great expenses had
been incurred in plans and labor; costly en-
gines had been erected; and the willy adyen-
turer had left his accounts in hopeless con-
fusion, and very little cash remained Of the
sums raised on mortgage. | need hardly say
that no treasure had been discovered.
Baron Dyring was for giving up the en-
terprise, selling half his property to clear
off debts, and cutting down his expenditure
to the lowest pitch. However, | was able,
fortunately,t to point out another course If
the Rothesgaard estate were swamped with
mortgages, the Agger ford was half drained
and it would have been a thousand pltles to
allow the sea to resume possession. By put
ting matters in right and economical train,
| managed to drain off as much water as
added dozen fat meadows to the property,
with little extra cost. The dams were re
paired, the pumping engines were used
more sparingly, and the work was slowly
but cheapIy done. At the Baron's request,
| gave up my situation at Copenhagen, and
went to reside at Rothesgaard.
In ten years. at little expense compared
With the Iavishness of the first outlay, we
reclaimed the whole bed of the Agger ford
from the sea, turning the salt lagoon into
marsh, and the marsh into good pasture and
arabic land. In fifteen years, thanks to tie in
crease Of national and local prosperity, we
were able to clear the Rothesgaard estate of
mortgages. But before three years had be-
come the husband of Christina Dyring, with
the full consent of her family. Our house is
on the Rothesgaard estate, and | farm a
large amount of the rescued acree, under
Christmas brother, Baron Eskil, as did
formerly in the lifetime Of my old friend and
father in-law, who lived long enough to see
the happy change, and to own that though
the traditional treasure was still unbound,
the recovered lands of the Agger ford had
been a treasure in themselves. This | sus-
pect, is what the rhyming author of thedis-
itch meant after all-AU The Year Round.

how far it will annihiate Southern lnstitu-

represent, that your best exertions, your
faithful efforts, and constant prayers will

into his creatures, return the duty Of de-

A New York correspondent Of the Provi.
dence Journal, after describing the prepare
ton for the Metropolitan Fair, proceeds to
remark as follows:
In the midst of all this patriotic overflow
OF heart and pocket, there is also d seething
current of extravagant folly setting madly,it
would seem, towards ruin. Too much can
not be said or written of this insane mania
among us. Where it will end heaven only
knows During the series of private con-
certs and tdbJeaUr UiUGntS, given for the
benefit of the fair, one of our fashionable la
dies formerly famous Boston belle-threw
open her house on Madison Square for
masquerade party, not in aid of the Santa
ry Fair, but in sheer love of sensation and
reckless expenditure. No end Of money was
avished. The costumes were unique, oUtye,
dazzling, gorgeous. Some Of them, it is said
disgracefully wanting in modest grace and
womanly fitness; but then when one is mask
ed, one can be oblivious to such effects,
suppose. The distinguished hostess herself
always fertile III expedients for outdolng the
boldest leader Of ton, on that patriotic occa-
sion immortalized her genius, appearing be-
fore her astonished guests with a coronal OF
living fame jets! In the course Of the en-
tertainment, which was kept up until Six
o'clock a. breakfast being duly served
to Observation-Disclosures of that remarka-
bic head dress, in most suave and gracious
manner, revealed the secret Of its success
Attached to her hoop skirt was a small gas
ometer, and connecting pipe, passing up
between the elaborate braids of her back hair
secured the brilliant triumph, at the risk Of
the wearer's life! fyou are troubled to be-
lieve this story, I can only say, ''but pity
It's It's true" What shall become of a ma
ton in its ordeal hour, if its womanhood
finds nothing nobler for use Or adornment
than buf;oon's arts Thank heaven, the
womanhood of our nation has risen in beauty
and power to the level of the nations need.
