If you are sick, get cured ; if well, employ measures to continue so. livery individual in dulges in habits, which must, to a greator or lesser extent, disarrange the admirable and intricate combinations which form the system, and conse quently every individual should possess some mild, yet efficacious, simple and accredited agent for preserving all the functions of the body in Kood order. Dr. I foods Sarsaparilla and Cherry Hitters will achieve this result, and should be in every family, and in the hands of every person, who, by business, profession or general course of life, is predisposed to the very many little ailments that render life a curse, instead of a blessing, and finally result, in their aggregated condition, in the cause of Death. The Bitters here mentioned are compounded by a man of great skill and knowledge, from the simples JNature presents to those who care to find them, and which are the only reliable anti dotes to the poison of disease. The chief ingre dients are the universally-beloved Sarsaparilla and the Bark of the Wild Cherry Tree, with which the red man of the forest cures nearly every disease of the internal organs. These ma terials, though powerful in their action, are, as common sense teaches us. EJSTT1REL. Y HARMLE SS; and prepared as they are here,tme of the greatest medical operatives in the inhabitable globe.

In the train of Costiveness follow dreadful local congestions, oftentimes insanity, very frequently mania or hypochondria, violent headaches, palpi tations, and other afiections of the heart, and rhumatic swellings. Dr. Wood's Compound is one of the most eificient medicines in routing these complaints, and their fountain head, that can possibly be procured. From being confined in close rooms and from taking a small modicum of exercise, numerous persons daily are made to deplore a loss of appe tite, painful headaches, ' weakness of the muscles, languor, want of energy sufficient to permit them to seek recreation, &-c. &c. These persons say for years, that they " don't jijeel very well." If they do not employ amethotLby which they can feel quite well, they eventually, sink under a severe fit of illness, and are :- -'-.iMv-- '. SAVED FROM THEGRAVE : only by a miracle and even then the lancdt, leech, blister and calomel have left them mere shatter ed hulks, full of aches and sorrows and not. .only a pest to themselves, but a source of disgust and annoyance to all with whom they come in "con tact. All these ' r? ';' FEARFUL C OJSEQUEJrCES y ' may be avoided by an early application of the virtues of these Bitters. For the truth of, tfiis, the proprietor pledges his word and honor, and in evidence can show files of undoubted certifi cates which he has received, unsolicited from all quarters. He does not, however, ask the invalid to sw.illow his certificate but his Bitters, and is willing to stake all he holds dear on earth in f.ivor of their worth. THE DYSPEPSIA. in either a modified or severe form, will disappear before the qualities of Dr. Wood's preparation, and the cure may be relied on as a permanent one Did the Bitters possess no other recommendation, it would be one of the finest vegetable compounds medical science can invent: but it is equal to the complete eradication of LIVER COMPLAIJSTT, in every shape, ana ot every atlection, minor or eivrantic, of the bilitarv aparatus. Individuals who are constitutionally bilious ought regular to take this mild agreeable and excellent tonic and aperient, as it will diffuse health throughout every fibre of the frame, and send happiness and love of life thrillinc to the heart. Families ought to keep it on hand. Every medicine client on board ship should also be well stocked with this capital remedy, as $fr- SCURVY 5 cannot afflict those who take it, or long resist its vigorous assults. All im purities of the blood vanish before it, and the old relics of early imprudence invariably disappear, soon after being submitted to its action. Every complaint of the stomach is broken by it. The Bitters have in so instance failed of curing Jaun dice, general debility every disorganization of THE .XERVOUS SYSTEM. By neglecting the little inroads made upon the latter a vast portion of our fellew beings are ren dered extremely miserable so miserable, indeed, that thy w ish to die. Every bottle of " Dr Wood's Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry Bitters" contains a modicum of joy and content for each of these anxious and imprudent suflerers. Re member that an injudicious use of mercury is inevitably productive of many evils which are put to flight by this glorious and unsurpassable compound; and that afflictions, which are HEREDITARY may speedily and safely be shuffled off through its aijencv, As a medicine which must benefit EVERYBODY. from the simply delicate to the confined and des pairing invalid, no equal is to be found for it.

THE VIRTUE OF VENTRILOQUISM, Or Mick Murphy and the Ghost. - An incident occurred in the liotel of one of the picturesque marine villages which skirt Lake Pontchartrain, on an occasion last summer, that eft'ectuall' served to dis pel the listless ennui too prevalent in such cases. Among the guests there, for the time being, was one Michael Murphy, an eccentric, good-natured soul, from what used to be par excellence the land of pota toes, but which now may be called the poiatoless land. He had been on a 'big burst' in the citv, and went over the Lake to dispel the fumes, of his debauch, and take salt baths and soda water at the same time, for " In sooth he was a shameless wight Sore given to revel and ungodly glee ; Few earthly things found favor in his sight Save concubines and carnal companie, And flaunting wassailers of high and low degree." All this became known to a ventriloquist, who payed a flying visit to the place, and who had such command over his voice that he could make it do anything, from the squeaking of a pig under a gate, to the singing of a mocking bird. Believing that Michael was just about that time, in an impressible state, in a reformatory mood, he thought he would, through the medium of his art, endeavor to effect a favorable change in his morals. With this view he booked his name for a bed in the same room with Michael, and about 12 o'clock at night that hour the superstitious minds so fraught with terrors he pitched his voice' outside of the door, saying in a kind of a trombone tone Michael Murphy! Michael Murphy! are you asieepr 'Who's that?' said Michael, much star tled at the sepulchral tone in which the query was put, and the time of putting it. Ask me not, out answer, saiu tne ven tiiloquist, still continuing his ghost-like accent. Well, what have you got to say?' said Michael. Much of which I want you to take no tice,' said the ventriloquist," or rather the ventriloquist's voice. 0, clear off,' said Michael, 'or else I'll give yon your stay.' ' Better you had continued to take tea thaii to break the pledge as you have done,' saUt ihe p?cg outside. the ttabr? " ' What's all this noise about?' said the ventriloquist speaking from the bed. 'Some dirty bfackguard that's outside the door there,' said Michaef, 'interferin, with what's none of his business." Why don't you drive him from it?1 said the ventrilo'quist, speaking from the bed. ' . - ' I wish he'd dare, said the voice of the ventriloquist, speaking outside the door. ' Be iabers I'll let you see I dare,' said Michael, jumping up, seizing his hickory and hurriedly opening the door, ready, on sight, to knock down the annover. Give it to him,' said the ventriloquist, from the bed. ' I believe its the Ould Boy himself was in it,' said Michael, 'for 1 don't see a sovvl here.' '"'It's very mysterious,' said the ventrilo quist from the bed. 1 wondher,' said Michael, 'if there's any evil spirits in this counthry?' 1 don't know,' said the ventriloquist, 'but they say the ghosts of departed Indians haunt the place-' 'O, that no Indian ghost,' said Michael, for it spoke as good English as I do my self ' - ' And a little sbetter,; Michael,' said the voice, as if it proceeded from one standing by liis side. " .Vv-'-V ., 't V'-'!;"" (),' said Miciiael, 'what are you at all, at all?n - vr V- ."'.'' ' - ; V ; ' -' : -; ' Novil spirit, but your guardian gen ius,' said the voice. 1 . : 4 A mortal queer genius you are,' .said Michael, thqtt can be heard and hot seen. ' Get Info the bed, then,' said the voice, 1 have something to say to you.' ' You won't do anything bad to me?' said Michael. Nothing,' said the voice. ' Honor bright,' said Michael. ' Honor bright,' said the voice, and into bed Michael again went. Now, Michael,' said the voice, 'you loquist, continuing to speak in propria per sona 'Faix, it's like a draine, shure enough,' said Michael. The next morning a friend asked Michael to take his bitters. He consented, but just as he took the glass in his hand, the voice of the ventriloquist, who was present, was heard above his head, in the air, crying out ' touch it not, Michael Murphy re member your promise!' It was enough Michael would taste not. "The pleasure of wine with you, Mr Murphy," said a gentlemen at diner. " With pleasure, sir," said Michael, but just at that moment a voice was heard to issue from a corner of the room it was that of the ventriloquist, who sat by his side uttering his admonition. Thus the thing went on for a week, till Michael was then and forever made a teetotaller of. He now industriously minds his business, enjoys good health and pros pers, in relation to the circumstances un der which he became a teetotaller, he says he never nau tne pleasure oi seeing ins beat friend. Putting the Qvv.mion. At the time Andrew Jackson and John Q. Adams were candidates for President, a worthy minis ter of the Methodist order took for his text one Sunday, the following words, ff'ho is on the Ixtrd's side?" After exhorting them w ith characteristic ardor, he brought the question home to each individuals heart thus: "My beloved brethren, this is an impor tant question 'who is on the Lord's side? All those who are on the Lord's side will rise in their seats." To the surprise of the elder, no one rose. With parliament ary propriety, he puttie opposite question "who is on the tl'd's side?" No one rose. At last, an old salt" addressed the exhorter with "Please, sir, we all goes here for Gin'ral Jackson!" . I M PORT AN' V TO THOSE ABOUT TO MARRY. The subscriber, having procured a white vest and a pair of fresh-scoured black pants, as good as new, and warranted to be ortho dox, is now ready to attend wedding par ties in the character of groomsman, at the shortest notice and upon the most reasona ble terms. Having devoted several years to the business, he flatters himself that he can give complete satisfaction to all who may honor him with their custom. Al though he says it who should not say it, he has been highly complimented by many of our most fashionable ladies upon the per fect ease and assurance of his demeanor, on these occasions, by which he is enabled to impart confidence aud grace to the most timid, at the trying moment. No marriage at which he attended has ever failed to be happy and prolific; and he proudly refers to the leading clergymen in the city for his character as to punctuality and propriety. P. S. In the intervals of his regular pro fession, the undersigned is also willing to attend evening parties in the capacityjof lion and general conversationalist, and is at all times ready to dine out, with discre tion and appetite.

The Mexican Question in ouu Lr.cis i.ai i'kk. By the proceedings, published in the Delta of yesterday, it will be seen that this body approved and justified the course and recommendations of the President in relation to the war, by a majority of eight in a body of twenty-eight. The resolu tions of "Mr Sigur, one of the Senators from this parish, embraced the views and recommendations of Mr Polk in almost the very words of the message, setting forth the duty of Congress to give the President all necessary means of carrying on the war, and approving of the principle of a fuH in demnity for all the costs and damages caused by the war. We are gratified to find our prediction, that the Legislature of Louisiana would sustain the war, in part fulfilled by this decided vote of that in telligent aud dignified body, the Senate of Louisiana. We believe that the majority in the House will be still larger, and thus will this gallant State present herself before the world in the attitude which she lias always occupied, of patriotic devotion to the honor and rights of our republic JS'ew Orleans Delta. know you have been a hard liver?' 'That's a fact,' said Michael. ' You broke the pledge,' said the voice. 'True as pray chin,' said Michael. ' And did other bad things,' said the voice. More than I iver could keep a tally of,' said Michael. 'Then, will you pledge yourself to me, that you'll change your mode of lifer' said the voice. ' I'll do anything you aske me,' said Michael. 'Then you promise never to drink a drop again,' said the voice. Not as much as would bathe a wren's bill,' said Michael. Then I'm nft ' said the voice, 'but re member, if you ever attempt to break it, I'll be present and punish you through life.' ' Who is that, with whom you are hold ing conversation?' said the ventriloquist, speaking again from the bed. 'Nobodv at all,' said Michael, 'barin some mishtv oolite, invisible gintleman that seems to take a ereat interest in me wel fare.' Oh, your're dreaming,' said the rentri- THE PRACTICAL SCHOOLMASTER. The following amusing story of a New York School master is from a Hudson paper: I heard of one of your committees inter fering with a vengence, and turning out a schoolmaster for committing enormities in the way of illustrating lessons,, Itappears that he had enlisted the feelings, of his pu pils in Natural Philosophy, but was told to do the teaching and leave the "nonsense. But nothing daunted, he got some appara tus himself, and told the bovs if they would bring him a mouse or two the next day hej would show them the etlects ot nitrogen gas upon tnem. me next nay came me ctn mittee to reprove him, because, forsooth, the bovs in their eagerness to learn had been up all night trying to catch mice for their master and disturbing the house ! He promised to do better, but when he came to Astronomy, he committed a more atrocious crime, for being deficient of an ogrery, he took a boy in the school and placing nun in the bun, told him how to turn round slowly upon his axis as the Sun did, then he placed a little fellow for Mercury ! next to him, a girl for Venus ; then a re- ( presentation ot the karth, then a nrery lit tle fellow for Mars, and so on, till he got all the planetary system arranged, and ex plained to each one how last he was to turn on his heel, as it went round the orbit. .Tfcen giving the signal the teun com menced revolving, and away went the whole team of Planets around him, each boy keeping in his proper distance Jioia the centre, trotting wnn proper yciocuy in his orbit and whirling round in due-proportion as he performed his revolution. It must have been a rare sight, and a lesson which the boys retained ; for do you think, my dear sir, that, John, w ho represented Mercury, would ever forget that he had had an easy time walking around the lub ber in the centre, while Will, who person ated Herschel, must have been much out of breath in scampering around his orbit. But if the boys did not forget the lesson, neither did the master ; they danced, but he paid the piper! for horrified, the com mittee then dismissed him at once he had been teaching, for aught they knew, the dance of the Turkish dervishes. Perhaps no better illustration of the adage, "many men of many minds," could j be furnished, than the various opinions I now prevalent in relation to the war with Mexico ; either as regards its origin, the manner in which it has been, or ought to have been conducted, and the most advisa ble course to pursue lor its honorable ter mination This appears to be the all-ab sorbing tiienie ol politicians, in and out of Congress.

After this had continued six weeks, it left me with a bad and distressing cough. I had a seated pain in my chest, attended with bp. pression. It would be impossible for me to describe the violence of my cough, which was incessant both night and day. and at nights 1 would cough so hard as te disturb the rest of my neighbors, who were all very much alarmed for my safety. I coughed so bad that I began to feel that un less something was speedily done, I would soon be incura ble with pulmonary consumption. I commenced using Schcnck's Pulmonic Syrup, and 1 soon found it to ripen the matter in my breast, and I began to raise freely. After I had used the Syrup awhile. 1 could rest well at nights, without any disturbance to the family. I continued to raise freely until after the corruption was discharged from my lung, and I then felt as well as ever mj cvugh all subsided, and my breast felt strong. It has been some time now since I have had any cough, and 1 feel as if the. Pulmonic Syrup has removed every vestige of pulmonary disease from my system. I have great confidence in Ita virtue, and cheerfully recommend its use to all person afflicted with a pulmonary complaint. - CHARLOTTE EVAN'S, Dated Jtrsy city. Aug. 8, 1843.
