A* EC OOTI or ITIPH .* Th« following capital anecdote, illustrative of the Ute Stephen (^ntd.of Ptfltdfcl|ni«, it from the Ne* Bedford Mercury:

Mr. G. bad a favorite clerk, one who every way pleased him, and who, when at the age of tweoty-one years expected Mr. G, to pay eomething to him in regard to his future prospects, and perhaps lend him a helping hand in starting himia the world. But Mr. G. said nothing, carefully avoiding the subject of his escape from minority. At length ift^1 the lapse of some weeks, the clerk mustered courage enough to addreie Mr. Upon the subject. m-

supple, sir," said the clerk,"I am free, and 1 thought I would say something lo you as to my future course. What do you think 1 hfld beller d»r* ••Yes, yes, 1 know you are,"satd Mr. G., ••and my advice to you is that you go and learn a cooper's trade."

This announcement well nigh threw the clerk off the track but recovering his equilibrium, he said if Mr. G. was in earnest he would do so. "I am in earnest —and the clerk rather hesitatingly sought one of the bevt coopers, and agreed with him upon the terms of apprenticeship, and went at it in good earnest, and in course of time made as good a barrel as any one. He went and told Mr. G. that he had graduated with all the honors of the craft, and was ready to set up his business at which the old man seemed gratified and told him to make three of the best barrels he could. The young cooper selected the best materials and soon put into shape and finish, three of the best barrels, and wheeled them up to the old man's counting room. Mr. G. said the barrels were first rate, and demanded the price. ••One dollar," said the clerk, "if low as 1 can live by."

!::V#

Misfin

"Cheap enough," said his employer,"make out your bill and present it." And now comes the cream of thd whole.

Mr. G. drew a check for twenty thousand dollars, and handed it to the clerk, closing with these words:— ••There, take that, and invest it in the best possible way, and if you are unfortunate and lose it, you have a good trado to fall back upon which will afford yoa a good living at all times." [A good story and well fold, though I may be but -'fancy's sketch.'*]

A GOOD STORY—ANOTHER FLATTENED BULLET. In Noah's Sunday Messenger, we find a story about "chance" or "good luck," that smacks considerably of the rich. This chance or good luck, or call it what you will, according to the Messenger, stood by a young, man in N. York lately, and rescued him from death in a very singular manner. He called in at a pawn broker's lp see a friend who was clerk in the store, and in a jesting mood took up ono of Colt's revolvers, which lay on tho counter, having just been left among other pledges. Both were natives of England, aod were speculating upon the importance which highwaymen would attach to such an instrument when "taking to the road." The clerk took it up. exclaiming, "Stand, and deliver I" "Fire!" snid his friend. Whereupon he pulled the trigger, and one of the barrels went off. The man exclaimed, °l am shot 1" and fell. The bullet had struck the centre of his forehead, and the blood oozed freely from the wound. To the amazement of nil present he arose and the party wulked round with him to a surgeon, who cut out the ball, which, having struck the ot ftonlii, was flattened like a shilling, his skull being so thick und hard as to be impenetrable loa bullet fired nt him at a distance of three feet I—

Next day he was well and at work, and felt no inconvenience from the accident. The skulls of negroes are stippossed to be uncom* monly thick, but still they cannot resist a bullet. The wounded man is quite an intelligent person, notwithstanding the thickness of his cranium. The clerk who fired at him, in his alarm wna taken quite ill, and confined to his bed and it was no small interest to see the wounded man, "the dead alive," nursing his friend, who fell sick Irom the effect of the ac cident, in having, as he supposed, innocently oaused the death of a fellow creature. Who wHTsny there is nothing in the doctrine of chances? A regiment of such men in Mexi* co would rout a whole army of guerrillas.— Commend me to that head which can resist a bullet, says the Messenger, and we say to

which

can flatten one.

During the warmeat months of summer there is a constant breeze playing over the prairies, and the nights sre invirinbly cool the thermometer never rises above 15 to 90, ana in the winter never falls below 30degrees Fahrenheit.

This is, perhaps, the last opportunity that will ever oner, on the continent of America of getting lands for the mere cost of surveys and cottSof deeds. Ourcolony isemphatically the place for the poor man's home: there he does not have to feed his cattle lor six or seven mom ha in the year there he wjll have a homo market for all the surplus he can produce for years to come, and with industry and economy, apeedily become rich.

Let no Emigrant loosd sight of the important fact that our contracts with the Government of Texas expire on the first day of July, 1848, and that he must not only he in the Colony, but that he muat have selected his hind built house or cabin thereon, and be residing therein wiih his family by that day—one day after that date, and the opportunity, of getting lands for nothing, is perbope, lost forever.

one who sfflicted, shoatd be anxious to obtainTHAT remedy which offer*the beat, quickest, and safest cure, no matter from whet source it springs every honest man being BOUND to EMBRACE the truth, wherever found. Therefore, the proprietor, in juatice to the public and himself, feels called upon to state, BONESTLY, a few facts, which will establish IIO USE'S INDIAN TO If IC 10 be the best remedy for CHILLS or AGUE and FEVER, now known. Fact l»t—the article is convenient am) pleasant to take —ia refined from all gross particles, which render other preparation so muddy, uauseotn. and disagreeable to the taste and if the directions are followed, will cure $fcerv casji, with mathematical certainty, in from three ftr five hours. Astonishing but true. Fact 2nd—

By iteaction upon |he liverjant Other organs concerned in forming it, the bile is regelated, the norbid action induced by the cause of the disease is destroyed—lever allayed—and it will be found a powerful agent in assisting to remove fevers generally. Fact 3d—It gives tone to the atonfechMnvigorates the body—stimulates all the functions to a healjhv action—end is highly useful wherever tonics are wnnied- Fact 4M—This Tonie bM performed and is daily performing, ceres in CHILLS or AGUE and FEVER, without a parallel in medicine-- Witness a single botile making a cure in a case of TEN- YEARS standing another in a case of NINE YEARS standing—to cure which had previously baffled all skill, and every remedy. Look at the many other astonishing cures sot forth in the certificates around the bottle, and then say. if HOUSE'S INOIAN TONIC does not deservedly stand, pre-eminently the greatest remedy 4f the times. Read the certificates carefully they are from your neighbors and friends—and whenever you meet with one of them—to ascertain the truth—don't fail toasi them concerning it. Be sure to ask for HOUSE'S INDIAN TONIC, and as you value your health, don't be put off with anything else.
