A Caution to Merchants.

The New Orleans Delta tells good
story of sagacious country gentleman
who came to that city few days ago with
a bill on highly respectable firm Of the
place. The bill was duly presented for
acceptance, and young member of the
firm, fashionable, showily dressed gen.
tleman who had cutivaten very dainty
mustache, wrote with gold pen his en-
dorscmen. on the bill, giving his in full,
thus, j. Templeton Tompkins. The
countryman looked at the signature, read
it slowly glanced at the fashionable mer-
chant, who was Enthusiastically twirling his
whiskers, and handing the bill over to
him, remarked
Hero stranger, cash this document
What! Indignantly replied the mer-
chant, discount my own paper, it is
positive insult
Wall, I can't help it, said the country
man, if, you don't, l must get somebody
else to do it,
To prevent his paper from getting on
Change, the merchant concluded to cash
the bill, and paying over the money to
the countryman, asked him quietly:
why, my friend, do you offer me this
gratuitous insult of requiring me to dis
count my own paper p
81 don't mean any harm, stranger,
but I have just got an idea into my skull,
that when you see merchant with that
hair on his upper lip, and who writes his
middle name out in full, and indorses
bills with a gold pen, you may put them
down as purity certain to bust up in q
week"

This medicine is the result Of much study, re-
Election, patient research and close observation
at the bedside of the SICK combined with an
curate knowledge of the different articles of the
Materia Medica which enter into its composition,
1t has no equal in the rapidly with which it

which will cure speedily and leave the stomach
and bowels in a healthy condition. Being per-
fectly pleasant, mild, safe and etectual in its OPP
GRAFTON, it may be given with equal advantage
to children or grown persons.
The uniform success which has attended the use
of this medicine, its salutary effect its power to
relieve and speedily cure the diseases above
named, of which under the ordinary mode of
trea ment many thousands die annually, has in
duced me to offer it to the public with entire
confidence in its efficacy, believing that its gen
eral use amor @ families would deprive summer
complaints and kindred diseases of all their hor
rors, and physicians would not lose one patient
in five hundred cases, but would, by using this
medicine, perform effectua cures in one-tOurth
the time requir ed by the usual method of treat
ment. These conclusions arrived at from
knowing the results of its during the last
twenty years in hundreds OF cases where other
remedies had proved unavailing, and by the
daily increasing demand for it accompanied with
certificates ofits truly wonderful effects.
Asatc cholera almost always begins with diar-
rh@a-frequenty so slight that the patient is not
aware of any danger. This is the time for action,
the time when the diseases may be eounteracted
A few doses of the Brier Syrup stops the diar
rhea and restores the stomach and bowels to a
healthy condition. In the more advanced state
of this disease, and in violent cases of cholera
oIbus, the vomiting and purging is almost i'm
mediately subdued by the use Of the Syrup alone.

A Fast Story.

"A EaSt STORY.
An Englishman was Dragging of the
speed of English railroads to Yankee
traveller seated at his side in one of the
cars of ''fast train" in England The
engine bell had rung as the cars neared a
station. It suggested to the Yankee an
opportunity of taking down his compan-
ion peg or two"
What is that noise? innocently inqui-
red the Yankee.

Englishman; they have to commence
ringing about ten miles before they get to
station, or else the train would run by
it before the bell would be heard Won
derful, isn't it? I suppose they haven't
invented bells in American
why, yes, replied the Yankee, we've
got bells, but we can't use them on our
railroads We run so fast that the trains
always keep ahead of the sound; the
sound never reaches the village till after
the train gets BY

up bells-Then. we tried steam whistles,
but they wouldn't answer, either. [ was
on locomotive when whistle was tried.
We were going at tremendous rate
hurricanes are nowhere, and l had to
hold my hair on. We saw a two horse
wagon crossing the track about five mile
ahead, and the engineer let the whistle
on, screeching like trooper. 1t scream
ed awfully, but it wasn't no use. The
next thing l knew I was picking myself
out of a hole by the wayside, amid the
fragments of the locomotive, dead horses,
broken wagon and dead engineer lying
beside me. Just then the whistle came
along, mixed up with some frightful
oaths that l heard the engineer use when
he first saw the horses.
"Poor fellow! he was dead before his
voice got to him. After that we tried
lights, supposing they would travel faster
than sound. We got one so powerful
that the children woke all along the road,
supposing it to be morning. But the To-
connective kept ahead of it still, and was
in the darkness, with the light close be-

we had to station electric telegraphs along
