My pood wife, Mrs. John Jones, Jr.. being ill Rome respects, ti woman of the old school, is rather slow in adopting new things, and rarely abandons her favorite customs or opinions, unless convinced, by some livinir and often painful experience, that thev are vvrniif. When the great teniperanre reformation began to extend , itself ill sooit tv. .Mrs. Jones was rather iin!i"!iant

It was the first lime setting out the decanter to visitors. lint some be bad done so, iinaccoiiipanied by his wife.

Jn. 1 ! hi ' : tH I But, there w-re two or three other matters 1 which Mrs. Jones was iiulluiind.l ,.,;n. what she called the ultra temperance people.- ' ..no buuiu ,iui umuny in tier mince pies, ami wine in ner purmino- sauce: and. suite of tie frowns of some nei"libors, and the remonstran cea of others, would put up a few jars of bran- i died peaches everv season. As for me, I thought with my wife on these suhjects ; or, if the truth were more correctly stated, didn't think at all : about them. Touchin her injure pies, I always considered them better made and lietter flavored than aiiy I happened tn meet with from home,' and if it required the brandy to obtain just the flavor they possessed, why, I was for bandy that was all. Not bavin? been initiated intn'tbe i art and mystery appertaining to the province of g' . - - a pastry cook, 1 was nut so presumptuous as to "Don't you think, Mrs. J.mes, that a little more brandy, a little less, or none at all, would improve your pies?" "O no. I was not so presumptuous as that ! What did I know ahout mince pies beyond the pleasure of eating them ? And as for "the pudding sauce, I couhin't imagine the existence of the article, unless dashed with th-flavor of wine. A lady, m arguing the matter with Mrs. Jnnes, in my presence, saiu mat a little vinegar imprn urolt a ady, veu puuuiug sauce very mueii, and gave more agreeable flavor than wine. The 1 while say ing this, turned mid looked towards me. bne stopped suddenly. don't know why, unless the v gar aspect of my fare curuiea ner leeiings. i tie tact is, the idea of vinegar iu my pudding sauce was so shocking, that I felt sour all over, and no doubt looked as I f. It. But the substitution of vinegar for wine has never been made in our domestic economy. We might give up the wine, but I hardly think we i j . i . i - ituum Einuu me vinegar. Last year, ns every one knows, peaches were as plenty as blackberries (I sneak metanbon. cally.) They were, to be had at from three to ten cents the half peck ; and any quantity for a dollar- From morning till niglii, you heard little but "Peaches, O! hero dev go!" until the very sight of the fruit t.iok away your appetite. Teople declined them when offered with the refreshments at parties, because they were "too cheap ;" and they became a drug (speaking uumedcinely; as an article for the dessert. "Send me home a couple of gallons of white brandy," said Mrs. Jones one day duriii" the time of this abundance. "Very well," I replied, as in duty bound. ! "Be sure that it is the hesi '" aa.t-,1 Mr ! Jones. "I m eoino- to brandy some neaeliMS! '

"louch not, taste the law, you know." not, huudle not. That's "Not for me. I am a law to myself, ' sai l Airs. Jones, good hnmoredly.

Aaorauigly I onlered the two gallons of white brandy, and the next day the whole qnanch'vTwT lh preserving peaches. My wife put up a double quantity, b. cause peaches were cheap. I ,r price of T.randy was not, of course, to be taken into the account. "How much do yon suppose all them peach- ' es cost ?" asked .Mrs. Jones, as she pointed me j poiuted ins i ' to inree or lour jars of preserves. "I'm sure I don't know. A dollar and half?"

And so the subject was dismissed from our' thoughts. j My wife had a beautiful cousin residing in' Newark, New Jersey, who often came over to , the city, and spent a few days or weeks with us. i We were fond of .Maria, for she was a lovely, intelligent girl, and won the atl'ections of all' who ' were thrown intohersoc.iety.

Nearly all the diseases of Summer are traceable to exposures in the Spring, ir to the neglect of those liruical means which hnuld have been resortIr is not surprised to. intr that the human systern should be powerfu I ly aHVrtedat this time. The whole realm of nature shows that wonderful in fluences are abroad. The outer world awakes to new life, and man and beast and all animated existence ; are affi cted. Now is the time, therefore, to use such medicinal prepara' ions as experience has shown to lie infallible i.l the prevention and cure of diseases As i SPRING MEDICINES. , ,h(. Oraelcnberg Vegetable Pills, the Graefenbrrg Health Hitters, anil the Graelrnhcr? Saraaparilla Compound, should superceded alt others. For universal use the Pills and Bitters arc of incalculable value. Those who t:ike them need not fear tkeenervaline, edi cts of the Summer which is at hunt. The ohj.ict ot Ilie priseiit Bulletin is to apprize the public of I be acknowledged superiority- oflhcGraelenberir SARAAPARILLA COMPOUND. Sarsf.pprilln is of vast efficacy in clean-in? the system from its foulest taints; but it must be preiared on the most scieatiftc principles and in the most latthful manner. It is not enough that we put it in 1 containing niore virtue than ten of any other ever before manufactured. The dose is half a tea-spoonful only; so that there are more closes iu a bottle than there is in the largest bottle in market ofany other manufacture. It is almost literally a Sulpli.ttc i"Sars.Tsirilla. The public are w ell advised of the uses of Sarsaparilla, by means of the numerous advertisements which crowd the press. It is unnecessary for us. .nnniiir, 10 iroooie uir reaacr witn a recapitulation : ofthe matter. We would simply add that all persons j who have made up their minds to use the article ' should purchase no other than that made bv this ' Company. CT It is warranted to lie ten times more I efficacious than any other known; no matter bow' large the bottle, or extravagant the advertisements,' because it contains in addition to Sarsaparilla, a powerful concentration or Mandrake, Burdock, J ueeli s Delight, Elder, Yellow Dock, quiacum, and other ' important medicaments w hit-h are not found in any ! other preparation.

Scoyii.l: Dear Sir -. r. . Eorthe past eipht or ten months, I have ' inclined to ga something in relation to the . RAORDIXARY HEALING QUALITIES of your preparation of Dr. Ropers' Compound Syrup of Liverwort and Tar, for your own, but more especially for the benefit of those unfortunate persons uho are THREATENED or AFFLICTED wnh PULMONARY CONSUMPTION, and who like myself have a preat aversion to quacks, to lheir specifics and caiholicons; but a combination of circumstances has prevented till now. ... 7 3 ... , hich settled upon her hnnr. A VIOi.ENT COUGH wa". ,he consequ.nce, which increased ir. severity "unn the winter, and reduced her to almost a ! SKELETON. It wa. almost incessant, and at- j in Aovemotr, 1840, my wile took a severe cold. tended with SEVERE PAIN in the SIDE and BREAST, aecompanied with FEVER and COLD '. NIGHT i-WEATS. SHE EXPECTORATED more ; than a PINT of MATTER DAILY. ULCERS GATHERED upon her LUNGS and DISCHARGED. Her HANDS and FEET were COLD AND CLAMMY as death, and a PURPLE TIN T settled upon her lips. The skill and varid efforts of cur family physician were completely baffled. On the 1st of May, 13-17, he intormid me that be could do nothing more than piniit her temporary r lief, that her case WAS HOt'ELFlbS, and 'hat she could NOT SURVIVE more ifran a fortnight at the furthest. 1 immediately called upon DR. tf. S. NEWTON ol this city (who has been so skillful ill the treatment of cancers,) and stated brr case to him. He rrrnmmeml-d Dr. forrrs' Liverwort and Tar, assured me that there was nothing "f quackerv about il, but purely a SCIENTIFIC PREPARA"TION, and gave me the history of several cases, all considered hopeless, where this pirparalion RESTORED TO HEALTH. A bottle was procured, and ill one week the expectoration was nearly CONm. ERED. She continued gradually lo improve, brr appetite returned, her COUGH in a few months CEASED. She recovered her STK EVGTH, and o a sery great degree her health, and is now a most EXTRAORDINARY TROPHY of the HEALING VIRTUES of DA. ROGERS" PREPARATION OF .LIVERWORT AND TAR. j I can only say that I hive derived verv great bent fit from this preparation, for hoarseness, sore , throat, ai d stricture across the chest. 1 have been j enabled, w hile suffering from se vere Cold and i Hoarseness, to speak with comparative ease for two . hours. It has one advantage, in mv own rase, over other expectorants, it docs not derange the digestive functions, producing head-ache, or nervous inability. l regard tt as admirably adanted for the use ot public speakers. Respectfully- vonrs, JOHN A. COLLINS. DESPAIR SOT THOUGH TOUR PHYS1CUS as a iriesds give you up to diem Your condition cannot be more hopeless than that of Mrs. Rowe. This is to certify that I was taken with a pain ill my side and breast, attended with a distressing cough, and for the space of one year grew rapidlyworse. Although I had iu attendance three physicians, one of whom was considered very skill ful,all of their efforts proved alike unavailing. At last one ofthe physicians came in, and decided that I could not live more than one doy longer!! All of my friends believed that a few days at most would end my earthly career!! My brother at this time hearing of the astonishing cures made by Dr. Hovers Liverwort and Tai , went to Cbillicotlie, distant thirty miles, to procure the above medicine; and, strange to tell, before Iliad used hslfa bottle my cough was entirely cured, and when I had used two bottles 1 was able to attend to my family vocations as usual.

Or -SrY-rrf .irf of finding Mints ot Gl,l, Silver, Irtn, Lead, Copper, Coal, and Other Mineral Rirhes. T JHE first discoverv of Gold in California was 1 liiad- by DON JOSE D A L V E A R. an eminent Spanish Geologist, Chrmit ami Natural Philosopher, by means of a newlv invented Mignetic instrument. - The Goldometer, or Gold Seeker's c; u l d r.: Bignoru Alsearhas just arrived at New York, from Hie Gold n gions ot California, bvwavof Panama - hagres, and New Orleans, bringing with him a very large quant ty ol (.old ore, valued at nearly- one million of Dollars, which he eoliect. d there long before the existence of the Cold mines became known to tha residents of California generally HISTORY OF TH F. IHSCOVERY. Sicnor D'Alvear went out to California neany two years ago, in consequence of certain information winch he had received of the geological character of that country, with the firm b lief that vast mines of precious me-als would be rt veab d there, noon careful investigation. He was encouraged to this enterprise, also, by his cot. fill, tier in the powers ofa certain magnetic instrument which he had invented, called the "(ioldometer," by- whose aid he expected to be dircctt d at once to the "Gold Placers," if any such existed. Xor were his expectarions disappointed. Hisscientitic calculations proved to be founded in truth and profound wisdom, and his new instrument, the "Goldometer,' fulfilled his highest hopes. Iu less than two mouths after reaching California, he struck upon one ofthe richest gold mines in that country, upon an obscure branch ofthe Sacramento river, in a gorge of bills extremely rocky and difficult of access, and seldom visited by the native Caii fornians. Disguising his ubject under the pretence of purely scientific research, he obtained tha aid of some fifteen or twenty simple and faithful Indians, and steadily pursued his tusk, collecting often more than S.I.oon worth of gold in a tingle dar, which he concealed in a deep ravine, without evciting anv tuspicioii w hatever, I after the discovery of gold at Capt. Sutter's Mill, w hen the mountains wen- raw. " , sacked by gold seeker., and Signor D'Alvear. "gold placer," the richi st in all California, w as beset with greeny adventure!.. It i. now found that the real mines or sources of the gold, lie in the forget ofthe mountains, and not in the beds or sands of the rivers. Previous to It as ing California. Signor D'Alvear sold Ins instrument, tbe Goldnnieter, a very imperfect one. for .1,000 dollars. The person who purchased it conhdi inly expicted to make a handsome fortune, by simply finding "gold placers'" and selling out the jght of discing to the gold workers MANUFACTURE F THE (r Ol.DOM ETER, & PUBLICATION OF THE GUIDE. ;o nor D'Alvear, in compliance with the request niiiiglneroiis scientific geiiileim n, has commenced ; the manufacture of his new Magnetic Instrument , the GOLDOMETER, which hi- now offers fcr sa Ir, j in the United States, at the remarkably low price ot THREE DOLLARS each, accompanied hy full instructions f.,r use, and a variety of Philosophical j hints drawn from the ancient and modern sciences ! or the j ART OF FINDING MINES OF GOLD!

The b, .,.,, orins labors in (aliforuia, and the discovery, this very week, of tresli veins f (,, j,, Virginia and beds of Coal in Rhode Island, bv it. use, are alone sufficient to stamp it as he greatest discovery ofthe age. Nothing but the evtreme cheapness of the instrument, and bis desire to s.-e it used for the benefit or mankidd induces him to dispose of it at the low price for which be oH'ers it. Besides this, his own desire lor wealth is nearly satisfied.
