AFFECTING INCIDENT. - I recollect one member of CongresB who was always rallying me about , our Con gressional Temperance Society. Bnggs,' he used to say, ' i am going to join your Temperance Society as soon as ; my demijohn is empty.' But just before it became empty, he always filled it - At one time, towards the close of the session, lie said to me : J ,'.. I am going to sign the pledge when 1 -get home I am in earnest, continued he ; my demijohn is nearly empty, and I am not going to fill it again. He spoke with such an air of seriousness as Iliad not be fore observed,' and it impressed me ; and I asked him what ' it i meant what had changed his feelings. . ' '. . . Why,' said het Ihad a short time since i -a risit from my brother," who . stated to me ' Hfact that more deeply impressed and af- fected me than any thing I recollect to have heard upon the subject in any temperance .speech i hare heard or read? , In my neighborhood is a gentleman of ' any acquaintance, well educated, who once liad some propertyj but" is now; reduced jxor !,'He has a beautiful and lovely wife a lady of -cultivation and ; refinement and a most charming daughter. , 1 This gentleman had become decidedly intemperate in his habits, and had fully ttlarmcd his friends in regard to him. At one time, when a number of his former as , 'sociates were together, they counseled as , to what could bo . done for him. Why - don't you send your daughter away-to a ' ' certain - distinguished school 1' which he jiamed. : - ' ' " - J - i - O, I cannot,' said he, 'it" is out' "of the 'T iquestion. ' I am not able to bear the ex- - pens?. Poor girl I I wish I could' - Well, said his friend, 'if you will sign the temperance pledge, I will be at all the expense of . herf attending school for one ; ' 3'enr. ' ' u; ' " -: : ' - . r What does this mean V said he. ! Do you think me in danger of becoming a tlrunkard?' ' No matter said his friend, about that now ; but I will do as I said. 'And f,' said another, 'will pay the rent of your farm a year, if you will sign the pledge.' - '"' Well, these offers are certainly liberal w rbut what do they mean? Do you think ae in danger of , becoming a drunkard ? What can it mean? But, gentlemen,, in view of your liberality, I will make an of . ier. I will sign if you wilL . -This was & proposition they had notebn eidered, and were not very well prepared 10 meet ; but for his sake they: would ami iid signandJie with them, . And now for the first time the truth pour ed into his mind, and he saw his condition, and sat down bathed in tears, r Now,' said he, 'gentlemen, you must go and communicate these facts to my wife "J. poor woman ! I know she will be glad to )l hear it, but I cannot tell heri:..I;;.:, , Two of them started for that purpose : - The lady met them at the door, pale and ip trembling with emotion. What, she inquired, 'is the matter l "What has happened to ray husband Vl They bid her dismiss her fears, assuring ; her they had come to bring her tidings 5 but good, tidings, uch us- she would be '. glad to bear. ;-. j , ' '. -' ' ' "r lrrf, ' Your husband hat signed the temper ance pledgeyea, signed it in good faith. K The joyous news nearly overcame her '"he trembled with excitement wept free - freely,, and clasping hex hands devotional- ly, she looked up into heaven, and thank, ed God for fhe happy change. , - ' ' 'Now,' said she, 'I have a husband as he once was, in the days of our early love.' ' :Bat this was not what moved me,' said the gentleman. 'There was in the same vicinity another gentleman a generous, noble soul married young marned well into a charming family, and the flower of it His wine drnking habits had arous ed the fears of . his friends, and one day, when several of them were together, one said to another, Let us sign the pledge.' 'I will if you will, said one to another, till all had agreed to, it and the . thing was done." i-: ; N- v This gentleman thought it rather a small business and felt a little sensitive about re vealing to his wife what he had done. But, on returning home, he said to her: Mary, my dear, I have done what I fear -will displease you. " - Well, what is it?' ' Why, I have signsd the temperance pledge -. --; 'Have you?1 - . Yes, I have, certainly.' ' Watching his manner as he replied, and reading in it sincerity," she entwined her arms around hi3 neck, laid .her head upon his bosom, and burst into tears. Her hus band was affected deeply by this Conduct of his wife, and said: , Mary, don't weep ; I did not know it would afflict you so, or I would not have done it I will go and take my name off immediately." , Take your name off 1" said she ; ' no no ?,let it be there. I shall now have no more solicitude in reference to your becom ing a drunkard. -I shall spend no more wakeful midnight hours. 1 shall no more steep my pillow in tears.' t Now, for the first time, the truth shone upon his mind, and he folded to his bosom his young and beautiful wife, and wept with her. Now, I can't stand these facts, and I am going to sign the pledge. ;". . Speech cf Gov. Briggs.

Though they all sleep m the arms of death, they live, and tneir warnings should not be disregarded. Here are some of them. t They should be graven upon the heart of every American. .

Smith has for many years devoted his whole aaention to the treatment of Private com. plaints, in all their Varied and complicated forms. His great success in those long standing and diffi cult casesaoch as were formerly considered incur able, is sufficient to commend him to the public ss worthy of the extensive patronage he has received. Within the laat eight years, Dr. 3. has treated more than 29,500 cases of Private Complaints, in their different forms and stages; a practice which no doubt exceeds that of ail other physicians now ad vertising in Baltimore, and not a single case is known where his directions were strictly followed, and medicines taken at reasonable time, without ejecting a radical and permanent cure; therefore, persons afflicted with diseases of the above nature, 'no mx iter how difficult or long standing the case may be," would do well to call on Dr, Smith ,at his office.

STRICTURES.-Dr. Smith has discovered a new method by which he can cure the worst form of stricture and that without pain or inconvenience to the patient. Irritation of the uretha, or prostrate glandi,or neckof the bladder,issometimeamistaken lcr strictures by general practitioners or charlatan. . YOUNG MEN and Others afflicted with Seminal Debility, wheth er originating from a Certain Destructive Habit, or from any other cause, with train of bodily and men talevils which follow, when neglected, should make an early application, thereby avoiding much trouble and suffering, as well as expense. . iy his improved method of treatment, Dr. S. can safely guarantee a speedy and perfect cure i& all cases of tills com plaint. TO FEMALES. . All di&cj.ces p-tculiar to Females (aS also Sup pressions, Irregularities, dec.) speedily and eflectu BllyremoveJ. The efficacy of his remedies, for the cure of theabove affections, have been well tested in an extens ve practice for the last twelve years. Persona at a distance may consult Dr. S. by a letter, pQBt-pttid, describing ease, and have medicine securely put up and forwarded to any part of the United St itevalways accompanied with full and explicit directions for use. Communications con sidered strictly confidential. Office arranged with separate apartments, so that patients never see any one but the doctor himself.

Many other preparations imitate in oearing 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 Ihey 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 are still bearing daily testimony to its worth.

In fhe spring of 1848 he took a severe coUl, and after eight weeks of severe suffering the dis ease settled in his left leg and foot, which noon swelled to the utmost. The swelling waa lanced by bis physician, and discharged most profusely; after th.t .no less than eleven ulcers formed on the leg and foot at on .' time.- Wehad fivedifTerent Phy sicians, but none relieved him much ; and the last winter found him so emaciated and low lhat he was unable to leave Ins l ed, suffering the most excrucia ting pain. ' Durinz this time ihe bone had become ao much affected that piece after piece came out, of which he has now more than twenty-five preserved in a bottle, varying from one half to one and a half incnes in lengtn. vve naa given up an nopes ot his recovery, butat this lime we were induced to try your Sarsaparilla, and with Its use his health' and appetite began immediately to Improve, and so rap id was the change thatlcsj than a dozen bottles ef fected a perfect cure.

Tratcrs Denham, a resident of Cat cutta, was a civilian of dahinir exterior and plausible wa, through in Ucl n roue an adventurer one who sought to bet and to play at everj opportunity, and wlio always won, and won in auch a manner as lo raise Strange suspicions, and somei ..inn worse than suspicions in the breast of u certain Major Byrne, whose regiment was then stationed in the abore city, . It so happened that the littler ., one day entered the house of an , oflicia prrsonngo one who, irf a manner figured high in tho'society of Calcutta whose hospitality was equal to his wealth, and whose ur banity and fine nature were on n pnr with both. , .On bHng shown into n splendid drown-roonT, where' some fumiture just received from' Europe lay unpacked, he found Mr. Travers Denham, omred -there before him, in corirersat on with the Lost, who was warmly pressing him lo dine with him next day. Carelessly saluting Denhain, Byrne advanced to the chimney piece, at the side of which n small concave miror, of an elegant but still old-fashioned shape, was fixed among a group of small paintings. , When Denham was c-one, Major. Dyrne turned to his host, and said, 'If Mr. Den ham oners 'O make a bet with you about that table,' pointing to a new one, Make him at his word. --,..... A bet f The table I my dear fellow' began the .other. . . . Whist, and listen to me,' said the Maj' or : and he communicated to , his friend what, by ihe extravagant fit of laughter it produced, must have beep highly amui in. The morrow camo. The guests assem bled, and with them were Mayjor IJyrne and Mt. Denham. Among the articles of furniture remarked, was the new dining'a ble, and as Byrne had expected, Denham was on the qui vive. The table would certainly be a splendid one, were it not a little too high,' observed the latter, with a knowing glance at its proportions.- Too high I Nonsense.' returned its ow ner, laughing.. 'It's only the usual height sav thirty inches.'. My eye is rarely deceived,' said Denham confidently ; 'and I am certain that it in more than that nay, that it is one and thirty inches high.' . Well, I thing this time your eye dor$ deceive you,' retorted the host : 'and . ' And I am so confident of the contrary continued Denham, 'that I should not mind making a wager it is the lull measurers I state.' Their host looked st Byrne, who winked drolly in return, unsobserved by the clever gamester, and then he quietly replied : 'A wager! My dear fellow, you would be sure to lose, take my word for it. Lose, eb I and Denham smiled. U'elf, if you like, I'll bet you a cool thousand . aye, two that it is you who are in the wrong.' Two thousand l and their host shook his head and looked very gravely at Den ham, and again at the table: Yes, two thousand I' said Denham, get. ting warm with cngerness. and tuking out his pocketbook, from which he counted our notes to that amount. He had fleeced several young fellows lately- been 'lucky, he called it, without remorse and was tolerably flush of money. Why,' hesitated the challenged, 'I think it would be a foolish wager, but by gad t I don't like lo be put al defiai.ee, and so I'll bet;' and al the instant he drew forth the like sum, which, with Dei-ham's two thousand, was deposited with a gentlcmm present You are sure to lose,' cried Denham, triumphantly, and scarcely ablo to conceal his delight. ., v '1 am certain to win,' the host said very grvelyf as with expectation on tiptoe,' private in the engineers, who was at haud and called in, proceeded to measure tha height of the table. - , Thirty inches P pronounced the latter. after a pause. ' IVhal r cried Denham with start of rage flushing, and then lurninsr pale. 'It must be a mistake.' - No,' several of the truests said. Thirty inches ihe height. Come and iudee for yourself. And unrnistakeably ihe height so turned out. The devil 1' exclaimed Denbam, carried away by his ruinous failure. 'I'm certain that yesterday 1 measured it to bo thirty. one inches.' Yes, fnith, said. Bryne, 6teniing for ward, 'and ii's meself that saw ye, tne boy, marking the same on your hip ns ye stood besides it, and, thinking what ye were ut to, bedad we had the legs sawn off an inch ; and now I think, for once, the tables are turned upon ey ( and amid a roar of laugh ter, us the money was handed lo the win ner, the discomfuted gambler rushed from the room, and was soon after probably mu sed from his.haunts and circle.
