a Tnoughtiess Boy Punished.


r.h.f, ,sxer forget an incident Of my child
,.,,d hv which was taught to be careful not
% ,~ou1d the feelings Of the unfortunase.-
number of us school boys were playing Dy
.ho ro.dside one Saturday afternoon, wnen
~ .,ooe-coach drove up to neighboring
t.rern and the passengers alignteo. as usual
90 Gathered around TO observe shem:-
Sonr tbe number was an elderly man with
...@ Who cot out with much difhculty, and,
80, on the ground he walked with most
,,r;o,,s contortions. His feet turned one
~ his knees another, and his whole body
Looked as though the different members were
;ndenendent Of it and Of each other, and
every one was making motions to suit ITSELF
I unthinkingly shouted
a. Look at old rattlebones ~ while the poor
man turned his head with an expression Of
pain which can never forget.
Inst then 10 my surprise and horror, my
father came round the corner, and immedi-
ateIy stepped up to the stranger, shook his
hand warmly. and assisted him to walk to
our house which was but a little distance. l
could enjoy no more play that afternoon, and
when tea time came | would gladly have hid
myself, bnt knew that would be in yain
and so tremhlingly went into the sitting
room. I, my great joy and relief the stran-
ger did nut recognize me, but remarked
pleasantly tn my father as he introduced me-
- Such boy was really worth saving"
How the words cut me to the heart NY
father had often told me the story of friend
who had plunged into the river to save me as
l was drowning, while an infant, and who in
of cold then taken, had been
a cripple by inhammatory rheumatism and
this was the man whom had made butt of
and laughing stock for my COM
panions | tell you Buys and girls, | would
give many dollars to have the memory of
that event taken away.
If ever you are tempted as | was, remem-
Der that while no good can come of sport,
the feelings Of others are wounded,
you may be laying up for yourselves painful
recollections that twill not leave you for a life
time

Of the characters are very little smaller

withost any careful looking, you will see
that this difference in size is very much ex-

in the eye to enlarge the upper part of the

We subjoin the following affidavit in an injunc-
ton suit formerly pending between Mercada &
Seully, plaintiffs, and G.. Simon, defendant:
P. Sainsevain, being duly sworn, says, That the
article known as Sainsevain's California Wine
Bitters was manufactured by Mercado Seully,
about the month of March, 1861, without the said
Sansevain Brothers having any concern in the
manufacture thereof. That deponent has always
known and considered said Mercado Seully as
the Sole Propretors of the Sainsevain California
Wine BItters."
Notwithstanding the above affidavit the said P.
Sainsevaln is putting up compound under the
name of Sainsevain's Wine Bitters representing it
to be the same as our celebrated Bitters, which
have been manufacturing and selling in immense
quantities since 1860, and also afixing nearly
similar label to that used genuine Wine

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates, dupe
the unwary. Some of the self-styled doctors
whose names are to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, arc tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some tinsmiths, shoemakers
newspaper carriers, intelligence Office keepers, &C.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1858. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for
as advertising physicians in eight out of ten
are bogus, there is 10 safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are. Dr.
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles certificates, pretended patients letters &c.
Dr. Gibbon will satisfy persons who may call at
his office of his ability to treat diseases that he
proposes to cure.
Consultation FREE.
