been Ill the water sometime, White
lost his hold on the board and the

blossoms as you can pile in; shake
it occasionally and in a few days it
will be lit for use. Dose-From q
tablespoonful to quarter of a gill

At Honeybrook, Chester county,
the other day, stranger was fined
S2.S5 for swearing. A good deal of
revenue might be raised in this town,
if the law against swearing were en-
forced. The justices, and constable,
would get many fee, that they miss
by neglecting the profane public
swearer. If an honest man have the
least bit of property that is taxable,
the officers go to great trouble to Sc
cure the stipend. But the man with
a vulgar and profane tongue, is allow
ed to walk about issuing his profan-
ity, wherever he pleases without pay
ing what the law requires OF him.
Collect what is due the State from
the profane swearer. 1t Will be a
source of profit to the State and do
the swearer good.
