CATASTROPH. BY ROnERT BRAMBLE. Sweet Jula, in the witching dance, Received full many nit ardent glance From many, love-lit, eyes; B'ut with a toss of her fair head, She motioned, as if she had said, ' "In vain are all your siths !" She was a creature full of pride, And full of lofty airs beside She would not smile on any. IHer suitor watched her every gaze, Her glances %et their hearts ablaze, And these were rich and many. She walked with grace, and polka'd, too, There were no tlgtres but she knew, How stately were her motions! Her taper fingers, sweety gloved, Seemed all the things in life she loved, All else was simply " notions." Thus whirling in the graceful dance, And trying every charm t' entrace She paused! and blushed ! while o'er Her cheeks ran tears !-how pride was crusl,ed I The string she trusted, too, had burt Her hoops lay onl the floor; She gathered them up and ran as speedily as possible to the dressing-room, and from there home, and for several weeks was seen no more. FIGHTING THE. TIGEL Some years ago, says a writer in the Philadel phia Dispatch, I was in a gambling house in Cincinnati, a silent looker-on at a game of faro. In those days such operations were cartied on rather openly, and almost under the eyes of the authorities, with unbarred doors, so that any one could walk in, either in the caieity of a better, or a mere spectator. Ia the bitter capacity I found myself, near midnight, when the door of the den opened. Just as the game began to flag, and not a sound was heard but the click of the cheeks and the rattle of some dishes a dar key was placing on a table, in walked a tall, raw boned, country-looking chap, in a gray. satitet coat and a coon-skin cap. He walked right up to the only vacant place at the table, and draw ing from a side-pocket an enormous calfskin wallet, which looked as if it might conthin at least a thousand, in fives and tens, addressed the dealert "Look here, Mister, I'm going to fight this here tiger up to the nines ? Uderstand me, I allers fight to the death; that is, until I break you or you break me!" "Very good," said the dealer, "you are one of the kind we like to deal for." And his eyes fairly danced at the certainty of depleting the plethoric-looking pocket-book. "But, understand me," continued the rough customer, "there is one thing you must first a;ree to; and that is, if you break me, you must give me money enough to carry me home." "I'll do it," said the "leg." "You all on you hear, gentlemen," said Rough, " that I have the word of an honorable sporting man, that if he wins all the money in this yere pocket-book, he gives mne money enough to carry me heme." "Yes! yes! yes!" responded the entire party. Here the darkey attnounced supper, and the keep~er of "the tiuer" announced a recess fur half an hour-. TY~e crowd wettt into the good things prepared, and Itough was not a whit be hind the~ rest. He dived into the v-etnison, the oyster pie, awl the "chicken fixitns," until he could eait no more with any degree of safety to himsel'-not forgatting to wrash down the whole with liberal potaitions of brandy. Refreshment over, labor bade fair to commence in right down earnest. The dealer took off his 'coat ; rolled up his sleeves, and seated himself. Rough squared himself at the aLble, and again drew the ponderous wallet. All eyes were now turned upon him ; for spectators, patrons of the establishment, and even bankers themselves, leolked for a tall game. Rough drew from one of the pockets of the wallet a greasy and rather suspicious-looking five dollar bill, and called for the worth of it in chips. After scrutinizing it a moment, the dealer tossed it into his drawer, and passed over a stack of ten chips to Rough. He next gave the cards sundry scientific " flirts," placed them in thte box, and antnounced "All .ready I" Rough placed his ten chips on the ace, and the deal went ott. Sonic eight or ten cards were drawn out, whien ant ace came to view, on the top of the box, anad the dealer immediately put ten more chips on the top of Rough's pile. Rough let the twenity chips lay upon the ace, .and it was ntot lonug before another one made its appearance, but this time it fell by thme side of the box, anid the dealer " raked down" the en tire pile. He thenm waited a few monmetits in ex pectation that Rtough wvould open the pocket book again, bitt that individual comntintued resting .his chin on the pan of his hand, and gazintg abstractedly on the ace. "Well," said the "leg," "aint you going to bet any more?" "Nary red-ltm broke-flat!" said Rough. The "leg" laid back itt is chair, anud in a tone of the most profound tastonishimetnt, said, " The deuce vounare! Antd I pledged tmyself to give you inoney eough'l to curry you homne, in case you got broke ?" " fo did that samte, old boss." " Where do you live ?" " At Brownsville, up the river." " What will it cost to take you there?" " At the present stage of wvater, I think I can get up for about fourteen dollars." Such a shout as wvent up at this juncture was never before heard within the wallIs of a faro ro.>m!-while with great good hutnor. the "leg" e):tnted out the fourteetn dollars. " My frietnd," sahl he to Rough, "it is not every day one meets a patron like you. Go and h alp yourself to anmother drink of brandly, andi a ei S gar. \fhetnever you comne to towtnagain, give us a call. Call often-you will fintd the latch-strinig out. I wish you a safe journey. Give my res pects to your wite and the chtildren. Bye, byel" "Rough didn't shrink one iota from this rail lery, but took the proffered drink atnd cigar. "1I say, said he, as he held the door ajar, -'1 wish you better luck with the next green-looking cus tomer that comnes alotng; but before you make suclh a bargain with him, jest asicertaint where he lives, anid the size of his pile!"-and so say ing, he disappeared amid the guffaiws of the crowd, in which the dealer himaself heartily joined. " Mr.-, I want to buy a shilling's worth of hay." "Very well, you can have it. I-s it for your father ?" " No, 'taint, it's for the boss. Dad dont't eat hay." The proprietor of a forge, not remarkable for correetness of language, but who, by honest in dustry had realized a comfortable independence, being called upon at a social meeting for a toast, gave 'Success to forgery.' Two Irishmen, on landing int this country, and sitting down to their first dimner, founid on the table a dish of prepared tmustard, which neither of them had ever htappened to meet before. Onte of them took a spoonful at a venture, which quickly brought a deluge of tears to his eyes. "What are you crying about ?" asked his companion. " I was crying at the recollection of my po'or father, who was huntg ab~out 20 years ago." -The dinner proceeded, and soomn the other made a dip inuto the mustard with a sitnilar effect. " What are y-on erying about?" was the grave inqniry of his comrade. "1I anm crying because you were not hung when your father was." As two of our children were playing together, lit tle Jane got angry and pouted. Johnny said to her, " Look out, Jane, or I'll take a seat up there on your lips." '" Then," replied Jane, quite cured of her ponus, "i'll laugh and you'll A gentlceman who, under tjhe least excitement, would exclaim, " there's a crisis coming !" wase considerably usnused at being pely informed * by a little four' ycar old "eon,' that the cry-siu .a a mc and wes In the bed with mother." ENvuUstasx.--Wilson and Phinny are the leading meinbersof the Washington county bar. Sitting opposite one another at the dinner table -they are always opposite at practice at the bar in the court-house, and agreed as to the liar in the hotel-Wilson was describing the effects of a speech he made a few nights before at a great political meeting in the village where. Phinney resides. "Itndeeil," said he, "I never saw the people so filled with enthusiasm!" " Filled with what?" cried Phitnney. " With enthusiasm." repeated Wilson. " Oh, ah!" said Phinney, "I ] understand, but I never heard it called by that name before; we call it' rum " An assembled family, as the legacy to each was read aloud, sobbed and wished that the father had lived to enjoy his own fortune. At last came the bequest to his heir: "I give my eldest son Tom, a shilling to buy a rope to hang himself with." " Would to God," said Tom, sobbing, like the rest, "that my poor father had lived to enjoy it himself." " Did you not tell me, sir, you could hold th plough?" said the master. " Arrah I be aiy, now," said Pat: "how the deuce can I bould it, and two horses drawing it away from me? but give'it mae into the barn, and 1l hould it with any boy." An itemizer, at a late evening sewing-party, reports that one lady made use of the excl.-mna tion, "I thought I should have died !" one hun dred and twenty-eight times, and put the inquiry " did you ever ?" one hundred and thirty-seven times. As indolent boy being asked by his teacher, who came latest to school ? replied, "Indeed, sir, I can not say, for I did not get here early enough to see." "Doctor, kin you tell what is the matter with my child's nose ? She keeps pickin of it." "Yes marm, it's probably an irritation of the gastic moens membrane communicating a sym pathetic titillation to the opthlaium of the echam rain."

T lil scenes of Chemistry and MedicIno have been taxed their utmost to produce this best, most perfcct purgative which is known to ajan. Innumerable proofh are shown that these Pius have virtues which surpass In excellence the ordinary medicines, and that they wIn un precedentedly upon the esteems of alt amen. They aresafe and pleasant to take, but powerful to cure. Their pone trating properties stimulate time dital activitiesof time body, mnors the obstructions of Its organs, purify the blood, and expel disease. They purge out the foul huniors which breed and grow distemper, stimulate sluggish or disor. dered organs into their natural action, and lmparthealthy lone with strength to the whole system. .Not only do they cure the overy-day conmplants or every body, but also formidable and dangerous diseases that have baffled the. best of human skill. While they produce poweribl effects, they areat the same time, in dinminished doses, the safest anid bust physic that can be enmplcod for children. Being sugar-coated, they are pleasant to take; and being purely vegetale, are flee from any risk of harm. Cures have been made which surpass belief were they not sub. stantiatmed by men of such exalted positIon and character as to firbk the suspicion of untruth. Many eminent clergymen and physicians have lent their names to bartify to tihe public the reliability of nmy remedies, while qihera have sent me the assurance of their conviction that my Preparations contribute lamm'ensely to the rellef of my afficted, suffering fllow-mmen.
