MISCELLANY.
HE WAS A STANGER TO HER.
Those yhoare termed "simple mind
ed people" adopt . a curiously innocent
mode of expression occasionally," winch
comes so near art, at times ;as to render
. its "simplicity" doubtful. :"-' '-
Wc heard of a young married couple
from the country, of course; who recent
ly attended an exhibition of "Dissolving
Views." The bride, being prettyj attract
ed the attention of a stylish lookin
city gent who happened to occupy the
same seat with the twain. During the
Exhibition, the audience part f the
Hall being already obscure: by som ac-
cident the light was eutirely extinguish
ed. Fending its recovery, which occu
pied some ljuie time, t'ae city gentleman
(perhaps accidently) : gently pressed the
hand of the bride, who was too much
alarmed to offer any resistance. This
bold act was followed by a bolder cer
tainly not accidentaly, for the city Lotha-
no Kissed trie Dnae! l his was too
much! and the youug wife resolved to
tell her husband; which she did; the fol
lowing whispered solioquy took place,
"John."
"What?" . .
"This fellar here's kissing me!"
"Well, )said John, who was a- little
shy of the citizen) tell him to quit!''7
"No John; you tell him!:' ...
"Tell him yourself."
"'o, John; I don't like to; you tell him.
The qetleman's a perfect stran
ger to me!"
Our informant did not know whether
the "city geftlemau" ultimately received
a "notice to quit" or not; but was under
the impression that the unlawful salutes
were repeated several times before the
lamps were re-lighted. '
That bride must have been deliciously
.unsophisticated : don't you think so 1
FURY OF THE CREW.
The following statement is made by
a gentleman who conversed with Capt
Luce, of the Arctic, on the way to New
York: - , - - -
Captain Luce remarked, in illustration
of the demoniac fury that took posses
sion of a large portion of his crew, and
impelled them to secure their own safe
ty in spite of every consideiation of hu
manity, and in opposition to all authority
that while he was . preparing a boat to
rescue a number ot. ladies, a fireman
rushed fo ward to plunge into it, and
when arrested in the attempt by capt L.
ilrew a knife upon him and -threatened
him with death. The captain instantly
knocked the fellow down with a mallet.
The butcher of the vessel rushed through
the crowd with his knife drawn, and cut
the tackhn that ' connected a boat with
the ship, and that was being filled
with passengers under capt Luce's super
vision .' . , " .- -
A number of the , ; Irish adopted citi
zens of Williamsubrg have organized a
club under the name of the Democratic
Union " Association. This is the place
where the Irish beat so many people to
death for wearing what is called a Know
Nothing hat. f? 5 , i?

AN this preparation all the restorative properties
of the root are concentrated in their utmost
strength and efficacy tAmt while SarsapsaiUla 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 the 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: and thus
three processes, which are ordinarily the result of
three dinercnt kinds of r cdicine, are carried on at
the same time, through the instrumcmaliiy of this

Messrs'. A. B. dt. D Sands: Gentlemen. Hav
ing witnessed the most beneficial effects from the
use of yuur iinrsaparilla, it gives me pleasure to
send you the following statement in regard to my
son. In the spring of 1848 he took a severe cold,
and after eight weeks of severe .sunering .the us
ease settled in his leil leg and tot, which soon
swelled to the utmost. The swelling was lanced
by his physician, and discharged most profusely;
after that no less than elevr n ulcers formed on the
leg and foot at one time. We had fivedifferent Phy
sicians, but none relieved bim much ; and the last
winter found him so emaciated and low that he was
unable to leave his I ed, suffering the most excrucia
tin? bain. During this time the bone bad become
so much aflected that piece after piece came out, of
which be has now more than twenty-five preserved
in a bottle, varying from one halt to one and a. hall
inches in length. - we had given op an Dopes of Ms
recovery, butat this time we were induced to try
your aaisapanlla, and with its use nia health and
appetite began immediately to improve, and so rap
id was the chanze thatless than a dozen bottles ef
fected a perfect cure. ' -.
