"a. GOLDEN
ITCH OINTMENT.

A SAFE, convenient and cificacious rom
IA edy for that most diSagrccablc and tor
mcntlng disorder-the ITClI-has been
always greatly needed but no one, it is
presumed, has before been discovered which
VIII certainly effect Il cure without having
ingredients in it both disagrecable and dam
gerous. Those that have attempted its cure
win brimstone, have generally applied it
with mixture OF hogs fat, or lard worn for
several days, OF dried in by the fire, either Of
which exposes the patient to the most itnmi-
nent danger of taking cold, By opening the
pores Of the body, and at the same timo
lmproSnating the blood with a poisonous
quality, and weakening and dcbiitating the
whole constitution others have used oin.-
ments which have either proved dangerous
to health, or insufficient to effect a cure.
But this will as certainly cure the ITCH
as 1t is applied; it'll easy and safe for any
age, habit or constitution, and attended with
no diSaGreeable 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 different ages, constitutions and states
OF health, who have used this ointment, and
have been cured by it.
No family ought to Ee without this volua.
bic medicine for, on the first appearance of
this disorder. on the wrists and between the
fingers, NC, slight application of this Ont-
meht WIZ cure H. and prevent its progress,
ana likewise its being taken by others. 1t
may also be used as preventive, by touch
ing the hands or the inside Of the gloves once
IN Il while with little oft, when there is Il
suspicion that the disorder is prevalent, and
there is danger Of taking it. For which rcl
son no people abroad on business, no student,
traveller, soldier or sailor, should he without
this Ointment, which is neatly put up in tin
boxes, convenient to carry, agreeable in its
smell, and will last good fora long time. By
this rrccaution, neighborhoodS, societies AND
schools, might be freed from This toriacutipe
disorder. Should the patient have anv
other eruption or breaking out, which 81
mistakes for the ITcH an application Of this
Ointment will do no harm, but often cures
the common breaking ont, which arises from
Il sharp. hot hnmOr in the blood, AMI 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, brim-
stone, tar, mercury, spirits Of turpcntine,
salt petre, and such like disagrceable mater
ials, which are loathsome to use, and unsafe
and uncertain in all their effects.
Eey" Druggists can be supplied with this
Ointment by the Gross or Dozen, at reason
able prices.
Price 80 cents n box.

How TO MANAGE MEy.-When YOU want
to manage men do as bcckecpers do when
they want to manage bees. Here arc two
men that have bees in a hive. One saws, II
own these bees, and am gon to divide them.
and move Them He prepares a place for
them, and then goes to the hive thrusts his
hands rudely into the midst of them. and
very soon he has bees over him. ana he
moves himself very rapidly! That is Just as
have seen men attempt to manage them -
Another man gets Il bowl of SUGAR and WA
ter, and washes his hands all over. and coes
with the utmost quicncss and serenity and
opens the hive, and puts his hand in gently,
and the bees find everything sweet. and he
can scoop them up as though they were so
much flour, and put them in as many hives
as he pcases (if he only takes care to put
queen bee in cach,) and they will not sting
him or fly away. And people say, "Won-
dertul ! that man has real magnetic power
with bees" SO he has. when he has sugar
and water on his hands. Now when Won
want to manage men, wash your hands with
sugar and watcr!-U. T0d Bcecher.

FOrtune-Telling SyVindles.

There are men and women in large cities
who realize large incomes by this disreputa
bic and fraudulent occupation. Most Of
them are as ignorant as they are dishonest !;
but they are shrewd and cunning, and often
succeed in duping persons of higher mental
endowments than themselves. Numbers of
young women, some of them respectfully
connected, habitually consult these vulgar
seers and sibyls. All the brood, without
a single exception, ought to be subjected to
the penalties prescribed by law for obtaining
money under false pretences. The money
out of which they swindle their foolish
clients is, however, but a petty considera-
ton in comparison with the mischief of
which they Especially the female fortune
tellers) are sometimes the instruments Let
us suppose case. a man about town, the
reverse of gentleman, though called by
that much abused name by people who Judge
from appearances, pays his attentions, as
the phrase is, to respectable GIRL with no
intention of making her his wife. He wins
her confidence, and as they chat Familiarity
together, he manages to introduce the sub
ject Of fortunetellng. He persuades her
that some OF the persons who practice it can
really see into the future, and has many
marvellous stories to relate in confirmation
OF their claims 70 supernatural prescience.
The young girl laughingly declares she will
test their skill, and names some advertising
sorcercSs whom she proposes to visit in
day or two. In the mean time, he sees and
fees the woman, and gives her his instruc-
tons. Their nature, and the probable re.
suit Of the Vaccinations of the scoundrel
and his brl5ed accomplicc, we leave to con
lecture; but were it proper to state in these
columns all we have learned from GOOD
authority on the subject, no young female
reading the facts, and jealous Of her fair
fame, would ever thereafter pass the TIRES
hold OF a tortunetcller. 1t ought not to be
necessary to tell any body in this land of
churches and schools, where moral. relir.
lous, and intellectual instruction is free to
all, that toreknowedge belongs to the Crea.
tor alone, and that since the days when lie
inspired the prophets there has been no such
thing as veritablc dvina,ion. All fortune
tcllcrs are impostors-all who believe in ard
act upon their stupid predictions are the
duleS OF vulgar fraud or of some vile plot
against their peace and reputation.

In selecting Dr.. Davis to be the Col.

sci a good example. II is certainly
time that men Of moral worth and in
tegri;y should be recognized in these
matters. 1t is unfortunate that SO ma
ny men in command appear to "nei,her
fear God nor regard man." and this is
one fruitful source Of the great corrup-
ton which has crept in at SO many
points, and Of the lawlessness which
prevails in SO many places.
We hope the Governor will have an
eye to the moral fitness of men for the
places Of trust, as well as to their ma
tural abilities. lis he honest, is he
capable?" is the compou d question
which should be asked and answered af-
frmatively in all cases Ofappointmenis.
The eseaiest eau 9 for app'she.e;on ia
our country is. that the food-gates Of
corruption. which are opened will sweep
the land with deluge Of crime. and
fraud, and lawlessness, which will be felt
long after the war is over. We need
