D . Cheever then a Congregational!?! pastor at S.dem, Massachusetts. The "Deacon Giles" of the dream was a Mr. Stone, a Deacon of the I'nitarian Churcli. and the largest, distiller in Salem. He was an otlicer ?>f 'he Rihle Surety, and kept Dibits for saiy in his distillery. His foreman :isuulttd Dr. Cheever in the streets for this "libel," but the Deacon's business became so unpopular ! that he was compelled !."> abandon it. "The; dream" was not all a dream, and is worthy of. another reading.?Kxrhnnn>\ j "INQUIRE AT AMOS GILES' DISTILLERY." i^otrte tiuic ago the writer's attention was! arrested by an advertisement in one of the j newspapers, which closed with words similar. to the following, "Inquire at Amos Giles* j T?T~.:h '|M.? r.f T .,?,].1 L/.amiviy. n?u ittuivin vii iiiv may suppose, it' they choose, that the follow- j in? story was a dream, suggested by that' phrase. Deacon Giles was a uian who loved money,! and was never troubled with a tenderness of J conscience. Ilis father and grandfather be-' fore him had been distiller*, and the occupa-' tion had eotue to him as an heir-loom in the i family. The still-house was black with age, is with the smoke of furnaces that never tvent out, and the fumes of tortured ingredients, ceaselessly converted into alcohol. It j looked like one of Vulcan's Smithies trans- J luted from the infernal regions into this j nrorld. Its stench filled the atmosphere, and | it seemed as if drops of alcoholic perspira-! :ion might be made to ooze out from any one I jf its timbers or clapboards on a slight pros-1 mrc. its owner was a treasurer to a Dible j Society and he had a little counting-room in \ me corner of the distillery where lie sold Hi- \ )les j iillr that is <jrc>thj to ;/a in tronbhth his j ticii honsrhold." Any oue of those Hiblcs j vould have told him this, but he choose to j earn it from experience. It is said that the 1 ivorm of the still lay coiled in the bosom of; his family, and certain it is that one of its I members had drowned himself iu the vat of i hot liquor, in the bottom of which a skeleton . ivas some time after found, with heavy j tveights tied to the ankle bones. Moreover. Deacon Giles* temper was none of the sweet-1 ,i.i f,, rn 11on<l tlm l,\nir,r lift llmnk. md the tires anil spirituous fumes among ; ivhich he lived, did nothing to soften it. If; lis workmen sometimes fell into vats, he limself ofteuer fell out with his workmen.? j t his was not to be wondered at, considering; he nature of their wages, which according j :o no unfrequent stipulation, would be as nuch raw ruiu as they could drink. Deacon Giles worked on the Sabbath.? ! Fie would neither suffer the fires of the dis- j illery to go out, nor burn while he was idle: ?o he kept as busy as they. One Saturday ifteruoou his workmen had quarreled, and ill wont off in anger. lie was in much perplexity for want of hands to do the work of :he devil on the Lord's day. lu the dusk of the evening a gang of sin- j zular fellows entered the door of the distil- j :ry. Their dress was wild and uucouth, j heir eyes glared, and their language had a . one that was awful. They offered to work 'or the Deacon; and he, on his part, was j >verjoycd, for he thought within himself that; is they had probably been turned out of cm- j ] jloyment elsewhere, he could engage them j >n his own town terms. He made them bis own accustomed offer, J is much rum every day when work was done, 1 ' is they could drink; but they would not j ake it. Some of them broke out and told I liiu that they had euough of hot things j i vherc they came from, without drinking I lamuation in the distillery. And when they j' aid that, it seemed to the Deacon as if their I , neath burned blue; but he was not certain, > ind could not tell what to make of it. Then : j re offered them a pittance of money but they ! ict up such a laugh, that he thought the i ( oof of the building would fall in. They de- j ' nanded a sum, which the Deacou said he i . :euld not give, and would not give, and 11 vould not to the best sot of workmen that; ! ?vcr lived, much loss to such piratical look- j ( ng scape jails as they. Finally he said lie j would give half what they asked, it' they j would take two thirds of that in Bibles.? ! When lie mentioned the word Bibles, they j ill looked towards the door and made a step ! jackwards, and the Deacon thought they j :retnbled, but whether it was with auger, or j ielcrium tretneus, or something else lie could not tell. However, they winked, and made ! -igus to caeli other, and then one of them, j tvho appeared to be the head man, agreed j with the Deacon, that if he would let them work by night, instead of day, they would =tay with him on his terms. To this he a^reed, and they immediately went to work. The Deacon had a fresh cargo of molasses j to be worked up, and a great many hogs- j heads then in from his country customers, to be filled with liquor. When he went home,' he locked up the doors, leaving the distillery j to his own workmen. As soon as he was j goucyou would have thought that one of the j chambers of bell had been transported to ! earth, with all its inmates. The distillery Bowed with fires hotter than ever before, aud the figures of demons passing to arid fro, and leaping and yelling in the midst of their j work, made it look like the entrance to the ! bottomless pit. Some of tliern sat astride the rafters, over : the heads of the others, aud amused them-! selves by blowing flames out of their mouths, j The work of distilling seemed play to them, j ami they carried it on with supernatural rapidity. It was hot enough to have boiled the j molasses in any part of the distillery, but j they did not scein to mind it at all. Some ; lifted the hogsheads as easy as you could raise a tea cup, and turned their contents j into the proper receptacles; some scummed j the boiling liquors; some with huge ladles dipped the smoking fluids from the different; vats, and rai>ingit high in the air, seemed to take great delight in watchiug the fiery stream as they spouted it back again; some j drifted the distilled liquor iuto empty casks' nnrl h emhends some stirred the fires- nil ! ?u<.% 1 | were boisterous and horribly profane, and 1 seemed to engage in their work with such | familiar aud malignant satisfaetiou, that I concluded the business of distilling was as j natural as hell, and must have originated there. I gathered from their talk that they were : going to play a trick upon the Deacon, that; should cure him of offering rum aud Bibles to : the.workmen; and I soon foUnd out, from : their conversation, what it was. They were i going to write certain inscriptions on all his i rum casks, that should rcmaiu invisible until, they were sold by the Deacon, but should flauie out in characters of lire as soon as they were broached by his retailers, or exposed for the use of the drunkards. When tbey hud filled a few casks with li quor, oue of them took a great coal of fire j and having quenched it in a mixture of rum i and molasses, proceeded to write by way of: experiment, upon the heads of the different j vessels. Just as it was dawn they left off j work, and all vanished together. In the morning the Deacon was puzzled j to know how the workmen got out of the dis- j tillery, which he found fast locked as he had i left it. He was still more amazed to find ! that tluy had done more work in one nigl.t, than could have been accomplish' 1 in the ! ordinary way, in three weeks. lie pondered i the thing not a little, and almost concluded j that it was the work of supernatural agents. ? At any rate they did so much that he thought j lie could afford to atteud the meeting day. as j it was the Sabbath. Accordingly he went j to church, and heard his minister say that ; God could pardon sin without an atone- j .. ,1,? r?.-.rAc tint I nnr] devil WCTC ! IIJUli;, IIKII. kilt; >? hi vio ..V.. mere figures of speech, and that all men would . certainly le saved, lie inwardly resoived ' he would send the minister a cask of wine, j and as it was communion Sabbath, he attend- ! ed meeting all da}*. In the evening the men came again, and j again the Deacon locked them in to them- ; selves and they went to work. They fiuish- ! ed all his molasses, and filled all his rum- j bant Is, and kegs, and hogsheads, with li(juur. and marked them as, on the preceding night with invissiblc inscriptions. Most of the titles run thus : "Consuuiptionsold here. Inquire at Deacon Giles' Distillery." "Convulsions and Epilepsies.?Inquire at Amos ; Giles' Distillery." "Insanity and Murder, i Inquire at Deacon Giles' Distillery." "Dropsy and Rheumatism," Putrid Fevers and Cholera in colapse.?Inquire at Amos Giles' Distillery." "Delirium tremens.?Inquire at Amos Giles' Distillery." Many of the casks had on them inscriptions like the following: "Distilled Death and liquid Damnation." "The Elixir of Hell for the bodies of those whose souls are going there." Some of the demons have j even taken sentences from the Scriptures, J and marked the hogsheads: "Who ha:h ! woes??inquire at Deacon Giles' Distillery " "Who hath redness of eyes ??Inquire at Deacon Giles' Distillery." Others had written sentences like the following: "A portion of the lake of fire and brimstone.?Inquire ! at Deacon Giles' Distillery."' All these inscriptions burned, when visible, a still and awful red?One of the most terrible in its appearance was as follows: "Weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.?Inquire at Deacon Giles' Distillery." ~ " J-1 1 In the morning the worKmen vumsneu ?s j befure, just as it was dawn, but iu the dusk of the evening they canjeagain, and told the | Deacon that it was against their principles to take any wages for work done between Saturday night and Monday morning, and as they could not stay with him any longer, he was welcome to what they had done. The Deacon was very urgent to have them remain, and offered to hire them fora season at any wages, but they would not. So he thanked thcoi, and went away and he saw them no more. In the course of the week the most of the casks were sent into the country, and duly j hoisted on their stoups, in conspicuous situ j ationsiu the taverns, and groceries, and rum-1 shops. But no sooner had the first glass j been drawn from any one of them, than tie invisible inscription flamed out on the head of the cask head to every beholder. " Consumption sold hero. Delirium tremens.? Death and Hell Fire." The drunkards were terrified from the dram-shops, the barrooms were emptied of their customers; but in their place a gaping crowd filled every Jtore that possessed a cask of the Deacon's devil distilled liquor, to wonder and be affrightencd at the spectacle; for no art could efface the inscriptions. And even when the liquor was drawn into new casks, the same I deadly letters broke out in blue and red flame ! ill over the surface. The rum sellers, and grocers, and tavern- j keepers were full of fury. They loaded their J teams with the accursed liquor and drove it back to the distillery. All around and before the door of the Deacon's establishment the returned casks were piled oneupon another, and it seemed as if the inscription burned brighter than ever. Consumption, Death ind Hell, mingled together in frightful eonfusion ; and in equal prominence, and on every cask flamed out the direction : "Inquire at Deacon Giles' Distillery." Oue would have thought the sight would have o r been enough to terrify every drunkard from his cup, and every trader from the dreadful traffic in ardent spirits. Indeed it had some effect for a time, but was not lasting, the demons Knew it would not De, wnen tney played the trick, for they knew the Deacon would continue to make rum, and that as long as he continued to make it there would be people to buy and drink it. And so it proved. The Deacon had to turn a vast quantity of liquor in the streets and burn up the hogsheads; and his distillery has stnclled of brimstone ever since; but he would not give up the trade. Fortune Up and Down.?The Boston Ledger, of Thursday, publishes the following : " Iu 1787, a youth, then residing in Maine, owned a jack-knife, which he, being ! of a somewhat trading aud money-making! disposition, sold for a gallou of West India ! rum. This he retailed, and with the proceeds he purchased two gallons, and eventually a barrel, which was followed in due time by a large stock. In a word, he got rich, and became the 'Squire of the district, thro' the possession and sale of the jack-knife, and an indomitable trading industry. He died worth property in real estate and : money, valued at880,000. This wasdivid- ! ed by testament, among four children? j three boys and a girl. Luck, which seemed ! to have been the guardian angel of die i father, deserted the children ; for every folly j and extravagance they could engage in j seemed to occupy their exclusive attention ; and cultivation. The daughter married un- j fortunately, and her patrimony was threwn I away by her .spendthrift of a husband.? j The sons were no more fortunate; and two I of theui died of dissipation, and au almost poverty. The daughter also died. The last of the [ family, for many years past, has lived on the kinduessof those who knew him in bis days of prosperity, as pride would not allow him to go to the poor farm. A few days ago he J died, suddenly and unattended, in a baru i where he had laid himself down to take a drunken sleep. On his pockets being examined, all that was found in them was a small piece of string and a jack-knife ! So, tho fortune that began with an implement of that kind; left but a simple, duplicate W? leave the moral to bedrawo, in what-' ever fashion it may suggest itself to the reader?simply stating that the story is a true one, and all the facts well known to many whom this relation will doubtless reach.

Sept 10 36 ly the Liter PREPARED BY DR. SANFORD. Compounded entirely from GUMS, IS ONE OF THE BEST PURGATIVE AND LIVER MEDICINES now before the public, that acts as a Cathartic, easier, milder, and more effectual than any other medicine known. It is not only a Cathartic, but a Liver remedy, acting first on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, then on the stomach and bowels to carry off that matter, thus accomplishing two purposes effectually, without any of the painful feelings experienced in the operations of un-st Cathartics. It strengthens the system at the same time that it purges it; and when taken daily in moderate doses, will strengthen an<l build it up with unusual rapidity. The Liver is one of: *j the principal regulators ofthe human body; aini:Q^: when it performs its functions well, thepow Pliers of the system are fully developed. The stomach is almost entirely dependent on the,^^.healthy action of the Liver, for the propel r/performanccofitsfunctions; when the stom-ifi'ach isat fault, the bowels are at fault, and the. J whole system suffers in consequence of one o -'^H'gan?the Liver?havingcensed todoitsduty.i ^ For the diseases of that organ, one of the pro-jAT prletors has made it his study, in a practice ot rP! more than twenty years to find some remedy^1 wherewith to counteract the many derange jwlments to which it is liable. !rk| To prove that thif.^, remedy is at last found, any person troubled.Lj with Liver Complaint, in any of its forms, bav^'lbut to try a bottle, and couviction is certain, r^j These Gums remove p tall morbid or bad matter from the system. Ly supplying in their place a healthy flow of bile,!Xjiinvigorating the stomach, causing food to di-jf~j!gest well, purifying the blood, giving tone and!f l; health to the whole machinery, removing the | jcause of the disease, effecting a radical cure Billious attacks are ;f"H' cured, and, what is better, prevented, by ther^|occasional use of tho Liver Invigorator. 'ji^j One dose after eating l lis sufficient to relieve the stomach and pre ^|vent the food from rising and souring. |[ ,| Only one dose taken H before retiring, prevents Nightmare. !k "li Only one dose takenipijat night, loosens the bowels centlv. and! cures Costiveness. One dose taken after TjH eftch meal will cure Dyspepsia. ? I JQY* One dose of twol ,^v teaspoonfuls will always relieve Sick Head Ljlnche. One bottle taken forl^T^; female obstruction removes the cause of tbi jQj disease, and makes a perfect cure. .r>! Only one dose imme '/^Ydiately relieves Cholic, while prl One dose often re f^-Jpeated is a sure cure for Cholera Morbus, and HHia preventive of Cholera. Yy I BQfOnly one bottle iMj is needed to throw out of the system the effects']; of medicine after a long sickness. >r,i B(gk,One bottle takenjpfor Jaundice removes allsallownessorunnatu rry ral color from the skin. One dose taken si*'-*!short time before eating gives vigor to the appetite, and makes food digest well. One dose often repeated cures Chronic Diarrhoea iu its worst forms, while Summer and Bowel complaints yield almost to the first dose. One or two doses cures attacks caused by Worms in Children ; there is no surer, safer, or speedier remedy in the world, as it never fails. Jgk*. A few bottles cures Dropsy, by exciting the absorbents. Retake pleasure in recommending this medicine as a preventive for Fever nnd Ague, Chill Fever, and all Fevers of a Bilious Type. It operates witli certainty, and thousands are willing to testify to its wonderful virtues. All who use it are giving their unanimous testimony in its favor. Bgk, Mix water in the mouth with the Invigorator, and swallow both together. THE LIVER INVIGORATOR IS A SCIENTIFIC MEDICAL DISCOVERY, and is daily working cures, almost too great to believe. It cures as if by magic, even the first dose giving benefit, and seldom more than one bottle is required to cure any kind of Liver Complaint, from the worst Jaundice or Dyspepsia to a common Head?n ,i.? ,.-o?u o uu vx nuivu aiv mv xvouiv vx c* j/iovuovu Liver. price one dfllar per bottle.

It will also remove all pimples from the face and skin.? Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative will do all this, sec circular and the following. Ann Arbor, November 5, 1856. Prof. 0. J. Wood?Dear Sir: I have beard much said of the wonderful effects of your Hair Restorative, but having been so often cheated by quackery and quack nostrums, hair dyes, &c., I was disposed to place your Restorative in the same category with the thousand and one loudly trumpeted quack remedies, until I met you in Lawrence county some months since, when you gave me such assurance as induced the trial of your Restorative in my family?first by my good wife, whose hair had become very thin and entirely white, and before exhaustiug one of your large bottles, her hair was restored nearly to its original beautiful brown color, and bad thickened and become beautiful and glossy upon, and entirely over the head; she continues to use it, not simply because of its beautifying effects upon the hair, but because of its healthful influence upon the head and mind. Others of my family and friends are using your Restorative, with the happiest effects ; therefore, my skepticism and doubts in reference to its character and value are entirely removed : and I can and do most cordially and confidentially recommend its use by all who would have their Koir roatnrprl from white or arav Ibv reason of sickness or age,) to original color or beauty, and by all young persons who would have their hair beautiful and glossy. Very truly and greatfully yours, SOLOMON MANN. Friend Wood: It was a long time after I saw you at Blissfield before I got thebottie of Restorative for which you gave me an order upon your agent in Detroit, and when I got it we concluded to try it on Mrs. Mann's hair, as the surest test of its power. It has done all that you assured me it would do; and others of my family and friends, having witnessed its effects, are now using and recommending its use to others as entitled to the highest consideration you claim for it. Again, very respectf ully and truly, yours, SOLOMON MANN. Cablyle. Ill,, June 28, 1852. I have used Prof. 0. J. Wood's Hair Restorative, and have admired its wonderful effects. My hair was becoming, as I thought, prematurely gray, but by the use of his Restorative it has resumed its original color, and, I have no doubt, permanently so. S. BRES8E, ex-Senator, U. S. 0. J.
