Not many j'ears ago, an unsophis ticated girl took service in a hotel in the town of . Poor thing she had nev er heard of a warming pan in her life, though she regularly confessed lo a friar once a year. It so happened on a cool and drizily night that a priest took lodgings at the inn. He had travelled far, and being weary re tired at an early hour. Soon after the mis tress of the house called the servant girl. Betty, put the friar into No. 6.' Up went Betty to tho poor priest: 'Your reerence must go into No. G. my mistress says.' 'How why? asked he, alarmed at be iug disturbed. Your revereece must go into No 6.' There was no help for if, and the priest arose, donned a dressing gown and went into No. 6. In about fifteen minutes (he mistress cal IctfTo Betty, 'Put the friar mtt Ntr.-r1 Betty said something about disturbing his reverence, which the mistress did not understand. So she told the girl in a sharp voice to do as she was directed, and she would always do right Up went Betty, and the unhappy priest, despite his angry protestation, was obliged to turn out of No. 6, and go into No. 4. But a little time elapsed ere the girl was told to put the friar into No. 8, and thepoor pries', thinking that everybody was rnad in the house, and stur dily resolving to quit it the next morning, ere p; into the damp sheets of No. 8. Cut he was to enjoy no peace there. Betty was again directed lo put the friar into No. 3. and with tears in her eyes she obeyed. In about an hour the landlady concluded to go to bed herself, and the friar icas order id inloksr room. Wondering what it all meant, Betty roused up the priest, and told him that he must go into No 1 1. The pa tient monk then crossed himself, counted his beads, and went into No. I 1. It so happened that the husband of the landlady was troubled with 'the green-eyed monster,' jealousy. Going up to bed, there fore, before his wife, his suspicions was con firmed by seeing between his own sheets a man sound asleep. To rouse the sleeper and kick him into the street was the work of but a few moments nor was the mistake explained till the next day, when the priest informed the inn-keeper vht outrages had been committed upon him, and he learned to hi? astonishment that he had been serving the whole night as rearming fan. ! ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERS. The late Mr. Alexander, architect of Rochester bridge, and other fine buildings in Kent, was orfee under cross-examination", in a speciaUjury case at Maidstone, by Sergeant, afterwards Baron (Jarrow, who wished to detract from the weight ot his testimony. After asking him what was his name, the sergeant proceeded : You are a builder, I belive V 'So, sir 1 am not a builder, I am an ar chitect. 'Ah! well ; architect, or builder, builder or architect, they are much the same, 1 suppose V 4I beg your pardon, sir, I cannot admit that; I consider them totally different.' sOh, indeed I perhaps you will state wherein this great difference consists.' 'Ah architect, sir, prepares the plans, conceives the design, draws oat the speci fications in short, supplies the mind ; the butJcUr is merely the bricklayer or the car penter the builder is in fact the machine; the architect the power that puts the ma chine together, and sets it a going.' 'Oh, very welt, Mr. Architect, that will do; and now after jour very ingenious dis tinction without a- difference, perhaps you can inform the court who was the architect of the Tower of Babel V The reply, for promptness and wit. is perhaps not to be rivalled in the whole his tory of rejoinder. 'There was no architect, sir, and hence the confusion !' FUNNY SENTENCE. There is an advestisement in the Savan nah News, ofa Female College in Georgia, which contains this sentence: Frenck is taught bji a native female lady. -That 13 rather an odd expression, it ap pears to ns. Who is responsible ibr so much, originality and wit? From Ike New York Day Bonk. ABDUCTION AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER. On Wednesday lat, a young girl was taken to the New York Hospital in a state of insensibility, and bcre on her person marks of ill treatment. Upon being seen by Dr. chapin, he at once concluded that she was laboring under the influence of laudanum. He accordingly applied the proper remedies, and with the stomach pump removed a large quantity of the drug from her stomach. After a long time she Carne to her senses, and on being refreshed by sleep, she told the story of her grievan ces. She staled that her name was Mary Morris, and she resided with her mother in Thompson street, ami that there she had formed an acquaintance, about three months since, with a young man who had seduced her, and who during the last week had de coyed her from her mother's house aotl ta ken ber in a carriage to apublic house in West Broadway, where she was detained by her seducer, who treated hr with great harshness, and threatened and beat her and compelled her to take medicine for the pur pose of procuring abortion ; and that when she resisted tho desires of tho man, he threatened to take her life, telling her he could do ns he pleased with her for by means of a little money he could procure as many witnesses as he pleased, to swear any thing ho pleased, and that the was ut terly powerless. In this dreadful state she s3s she re mained until last Wednesday, when he sent a boy to a chemist, who brought back something in a bottle, which he compelled her to swallow, and that she remembered no more until she found herself in bed at the Hospital. Upon her repeating this statemen', Dr. Chapin determined to send for Captain Car penter of the Fifth Ward Police, in order that if he believed the statement, the man whose name, address and occupations he gave should be arrested. Upon Captain Carpenter's arrival at the Hospital he was introduced into the room where the suffer ing girl lay, and she again made the same unvarying statement, and also expressed her willingness to be sworn to the truth of it. Upon hearing the account, the Captain arrested the person charged with these acts, who is a barkeeper in West Broadway, and goes by the name of David Brocket, is de tained in custody until the girl is sufficient ly restored to visit a Police Court to record Iter testimony. p ronFto ev I L. A little boy, only nine years of age, was arraigned before a Virginia County Court, a few days back for placing a fence rail across the track of the Manasses Gap rail road. He was caught in the act by the conductor of a, trairt aitrt confessed that he had placed the rail there to see the cars 'bounce,' as he had previously placed a stone for the sa-mc purpose. In Virginia the offence is punishable by death, but, in the exercise of a discretion which the com mon law permits with regard to children, the Court decided to order twenty lashes to bo inflicted, whifth was accordingly done.

XN this preparation all the restorative properties of the root are concentrated In their utmost strength and efficacy ; but while Sarsaparilla Root forms an important part of its combination, it is, at the same time, compounded with other vegeta ble remedies of great power, and it is in Ihe pecu liar combination and scien ific manner of its prep aration, that its remarkable success in the cure of disease depends. It acts simultaneously upon the stomach, the circulation and the bowels; snd thus three processes, which are ordinarily the result of three different kinds oi n edicine, are carried on at the same tiuift, through the instrumentality of this one remedial agent which gently stimulates while it disinfects and expels lrom the stomach and bowels all that is irritating, and at the same time icstorcs vigor and tone. Alany other preparations imitate in nearing the name of Sarsaparilla, and in that their resemblance ends, being often prepar ed from worthless and inert roots, and of course possess no healing or curative properties, and pa tients in making choice of which they will use, should take no other, but that one entitled to their confidence, from the long list of cures it has effect ed on living witnesses, whose testimonials and residence have been published, and who arc stiil bearing dailv testimony to its worth. ASTONISHING (JURE.. Patterson-, N. V , 20th, 1851. Messrs. A. B. &. D Sands: Gentlemen. Hav ing witnessed the most beneficial effects from the 'e of your Sarsaparilla, it gives me pleasure to send you the following statement in regard lo my son. In the spring of 1318 he took a severe cold, and after eight weeks of severe suffering the disease-settled in his U-ft leg and foot, which soon swelled to the utmost.

S WAYNE: Dear Sir Believing it a duty I owe to the public, and in justice to you, i have thought proper to make known one of the most extraordinary cures, in my own case, thai has ever been truly recorded. In the 'month of October last, I was afflicted with a severe gather ing in my breast, which formed a large abscess, and also communicated to my lungs and very much afflicted them, and discharged large quan tities of corruption, external and internal. My breath could also pass through my lungs and out through the cavity of my breast with apparent ease, attended with a v iolenl cough day and night, loss of appetiie. and extreme debility, so that my physicians thought my case extremely hopeless and beyond t he power of medicine. 1 remained in this wretched condition for a long time, until 1 was wasted to a mere skeleton, and there seemed to be no hope for me, but, having read in the pub lic papers of the many wonderful cures performed by your COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY, 1 immediately sent lo Baltimore for five bottles and commenced its use, and, to my great satisfaction and that of my anxious family, I he abscess or opening in my lungs began to heal, and the cough stibfided, and on using ten bottles I was restored to perfect health. I feel very grate ful, and firmly believe that in your medicine, un der the blessings of Divine Providence, I am in debted for this great change, and nm happy to say that I am now enjoying a: good health as 1 ever have. Yours, very respectfully, THOS. DIXON. The subscriber is well acquainted with Thomas Dixon, and can testify that he has been afflicted as above represented. 1 rcsard his recovery as almost a miracle.

Turning taIf a Continent Into a Slave-Pen III Let the readers of the Journal of Com merce call to mind what we have told them from the first, as to the bearing of the Ne braska Law upon the question of slavery. Let them bear in mind also what the Anti Nebraska politicians, clergymen and news papers have told them ia regard to thesama thing ; and then let them read the following letter, which is corroborated by other infor mation from authentic sources : "At this moment," sajs the writer, "there are eight or ten thousand vkUe persona JnJ.bc Territo ry of Kansaf,"ef whom at least 3,000 harm crossed from Iowa, between St. Joseph and and Westport.n And out of this 8,000, he has "never seen one person vho is in aver of slavery, irho is now residing either in' Kansas or Nebraska." At the very next session of Congress, he says Kansas will be knock, ing at the door tor admission as a sovereign State. That she will be a free State, is as certain as any thing future. - What an il'. , lustration is here of the truth that sound principles are safe principles ; and that men may prudently follow wherever suchf prin. ciples lead, even if they do not at tho mo , ment see the end ot the road. - , Correspondence of the Public Ledger. Letter from the Upper Missouri. . . Nebraska and Kansas Resources and Pro- peels. St. Joseph, Mo., July 27,' '1 854. Messrs. Editors: Havinr just returned to this place from an extended tour through a large portion of the territories of Nebras- ' ka and Kansas, l.have collected a laxga mass of facts in reference to tho soil, cli mate and agricultural qualities of the country, as some speculations in relation to their probable future political prospect, which would", no doubt, prove interesting to your readers. - Of the two territories, I greatly prefer Kansas, and it is, as a general thing, bet ter supplied with water and timber, and the soil is equally good. The winters, also, are much milder ; still there are. lens of thousands of acres of land in Nebraska which far excel any thing you ever saw in -Pennsylvania. This seems to be the gene ral opinion, and the tide of emigration, which tended to Nebraska, has now chang ed to Kansas. Only a few days since, a large party (some hundreds) of Germans, who had started for Nebraska, .left tbe steamboat at the mouth of the Kansas and entered Kansas instead of Nebraska, as they first contemplated. AH the emigre i ion from Iowa and Missouri is now to Kan sas. The tiilc of the Indians will expire in November, and there are thousands of whiles who will then cross the river hero iiinl at points above. At a ftrry some few miles above here, the ferryman informed me that he had daily averaged forty fami lies across his ferry. This-may seem in credible, but it is true. At least, 8000 per son's from Iowa alone are believed to have crossed the river for Kansas between this place and Westport : and at this moment there are eight or ten thousand white per--sons now in the territory. In twelve months there will be a suffi cient number of persons lo form a Sta.te government ; and, mark uiy prediction, at the next session of Congress, Kunsts will be knocking for admission into the Union as a sovereign State. 1 And now, gentlemen, you may ask how about slavery ? Will their State Constilu tions recogoiize slavery? I answer, no. On the great Nernahaw river .there-is-a large settlement of Missourians; I., was among them for three weeks knowing the deep interest felt through, the .country on this question, I have nwule it special subject of inquiry, and 1 assure, you that I have never seen one person .who is in favor of shivery, who is now residing in either Kansas or Nebraska. Even the Missou rians give it up as a settled matter. 'ltt soil, tlu- climate, the nature of the produc tions of the country, are all against it. While, therefore, Wilmot Provisos and Ne braska Bills may furnish to members of Congress a fruitful theme for speeches to Buncombe, a "higher law" than any Jaw of Congress has decided the matter. SUt very can never flourish there. Of this I am as well convinced as I could be of any ascertained fact. ' i.: '- You may desire to know which parti of the country are most to be preferred fof settlers. '1 his is a bard question . lo an. swer. In Kansas ny where on the ,Vei rnillion or Blue river counties, or anywhere between the latter and Gl Nernabaw riv er, a seuler can hardly go wrong.. I pre fer the last named place, and there I shall most probably end my days. -v In Nebraska there is much more waste land than in Kansas, hot as I said before, there are large bodies of plendid land in all parts of Che territory, t-.. .:. - I may also mention another idvantaa which Kansas has. over,, Nebraska vXll emigrants for California or Oregon , the steamboat at the mouth of the Kassas. and start from Westport five miles from thejuiomh of lhat river. -This is Col a " 5tartin5 Place. They follow a , the KSJrsas a long distance, and" then cross over to the Platte or Nebraska ; but do not reach -hat river till ihey advance son. hundreds of miles west f the Missouri-,.. The great highway between the Atlantic and PaxxGc oceans, you will thus perceive, passes chieflj through Kansas, and fbw "CtBft KU" he . great raUroad rottf e. On this, subject I shall write more fully in a futnre letter. If is,- or ought ta be, the great question of ihe day,- I am gentlemen, yours faithfully, ...v. 1 .. - -r . nirmi
