. ^ ? glmttsmg |leafeg: i- From the Marioa Commonwealth. Mr. Editor:?I make the following extract from an old letter found in the road.? It appears to be the advice of an older to a younger brother; and if this extract meets the eye of either party, they must forgive the liberty I have taken with the letter?for there is honesty and truth in it. In fact, Mr. Editor, if you want to see real honest and truthful opinion about business and men, jost steal the mail bags and break open and read the letters of faimilies. ? * | ?? Geo. July 20th 1858. " Dear Brother:?You ask what I think oi your leaving off teaching and going to goodiBg, and if I don't think it would be a farming if you would get married I hardly know how to answer you, for both are enjoined as scriptural duties, and I don't like to run in the face of scripture. Ezoept gardening and feeding sheep, farming is the oldest work in the world; and you know, Bob, ou mother always taught us to respeot the old age. But, Bob, I will come to the question sorter circuitous, for I don't like to look the responsibility of suoh advice straight in the faoe, for you might act on my opinions, and if you struok a bad bargain you would say, "Brother Pete told me to do it." And to avoid that I will come to the point roundabout, sorter cireut-rider fashion. "Well, Bob, I say if you are determined to go to farming, get married by all means and as quick as possible. Don't let the first wash day pass by without oourting some body; and if she says "yes" the first time a circuit preaoher comes along tell him to consolidate you two into one institution under a charter with farming privileges and all the ectra official duties oonneoted therewith; I tell you brother Bob, no man has any business farming without a wife Why, Bob, it would look just as well to see a fellow plowing without a collar on his horse or escorting young ladies to ohurch in his shirt-tail as to ec a fellow farming without a wife. It won't doBoM But farming on a small capital without a wife, is a slow, lonely and unhealthy business?unhealthy to body, soul and mimd. I say, then, don't go to farming unless you marry, and if you don't marry, you had better continue teaching. That is my advioe in a round-about way so as to avoid the responsibilibty. But it is time you were marrying any how. Don't marry a right poor woman or a very rich one?a right poor one will be lazy and spend all you make, and a lazy woman won't keep her face clean, and a bob-tail cow will make you just as interesting a companion as a lazy, dirty-faced woman, and a lazy woman never haa underneath garments clean. And that's " worser ' than all," Bob. And I say, don't marry a 1 very rich one either, Bob; for she ain't apt to be so honest, and there is danger that she < may want to wear the forked olothes; aid i if you don't want the road of your married ] life to be forked and foggy, stick to your I breeches, Bob, and let her hang on to petti- < coats. And remember that very few women i cultivate their minds any after marriage? hence, if you would many a woman that 1 you will not be ashamed of in after life, let i her have a good education ; but above all < let her have religon and common sense. 1 You ought to marry such a woman worth ] at least ten thousand dollars?a man is worth just ten thousand dollars more than a woman if he is honest and has religion and a good education. More on this subject next time. Look J out, Bob; don't let the woman fool you? ! there is muoh trash in the market these days. Sample well before you trade. Your Brother, PETE." EABLY PIETY. The following story is acknowledged a good "one," but we have never before seen it in print: A few years since, some roguish boys in a town not a thousand miles distant from the capital of New Hampshire pureuaded Joseph N - or, as he was generally called, 'Joe,'to attend school. Joe was an overgrown, half-witted, profane lad, and the boys had anticipated considerable fun out of him, but the answers to the various questions propounded were given so readily and correctly that no one could for a moment suprr*no r\r\? fnllrT rnroor] in tHpfllrtUl. |AWC iliat uc ti aj uvv ?v*?* vtwww *w ?mw*v^. . cal lore. Joe was duly asked in, placed on a settee in front of the one od which h:s friends were seated, and the recitation commenced : The teacher first questioned the class on their regular lesson, and then turned to Joe: ' My friend," said the teacher, 'who made the world we inhabit!' Eh ? said Joe; turning up his eyes like an expiring calf. Who made the world we inhabit. Just aa he was probably about to give the answer, one of the boys seated behind inserted a pin into his [Joe's] pants. God Almighty? answered Joe, in an elevated tone, rising quickly from his seat at the same time. That is correct, replied the teacher j but it is not necessary that you should rise in answering. A sitting posture was just as well. Joe was again seated, and the catechism proceeded. Who died to save the world ? The pin was again inserted, and Joe re plied?Jesus Christ! in a still louder voice rising, as before, from his seat. That is also correct, but do not manifest so much feeliDg, do be more composed and reserved in your manner, said the teacher, iu an expostulating tone. After Joe had calmed down, the examination went on. What will be^ the final doom of all wicked men ? was the subject now up for consideration, and as the pin was again stuck in, Joe thundered out, with a higher eleva- i tion of his body?Hell and damnation ! j My young friend, said the instructor, you give the true answer to all these questions but while you are here we wish you to be , more mild in your words. Do endeavor, if you can, to restrain your enthusiasm, and give less extended soope to your feelings. J?* In the town ofM., Lewis county, Pa., I resided, not long since, a worthy old gen- J tleman, with his son and daughter-in-law.? The latter, being of querulous disposition, was always complaining of her hard lot, and expressing her determination to commit < suicide at the earliest favorable opportunity. . One day, when the husband had gone <to I mill,' she called her father-in-law to see her commit the act of self-destrncion. The old gentleman put on his coat and accompanied her to the river's side, and coolly waited for her to 'jump in.' This was rather a damper, to the lady, but, at last she bid him good By,' and was about to plunge in, when the old gentleman cried out to her, saylDg? : 0 * J >? 'Not there ! not there! it ain't deep enough ! here's a better place!' The coolncess of the old gentleman knocked the romance of the thing out of the daughter's mind ; she gave up her intention, and returned to her home and her duties quite reformed. Dbovebs vs. Fops.?Dinner was spread in the oabin of that pearless steamer, the New World, and a splendid company were assembled about the table. Among the passengers thus prepared for gastronomic duty, was a little creature of the genius, Fop, decked daintly as an early butterfly with kids of j irreproachable whiteness, 'miraculous' neck tie and spider like quizzing glass on his nose. The delicate animal turned his head affected ly aside with? 1 Waitah ?' -? Sah!' 1 Bwing me pwopellah of a fwemale woostah! 'Yissah!' < And, Waitah, tell the steward to wub my plate with a wegetable called onion, which will give a delicous flavaw to my dinnah.' While the refined exquisite was giving his order, a jolly western drover had listened with open mouth and protruding eyes.? When the diminutive creature paused, he brought his fist down upon the table with a force that made every dish bounce, and then thundred out? 1 Here! you gaul darned aoe-of-spades !' 1 Yis, sah.' < Bring me a thundering big plate of skunk's gizzards V < Sah!' ' And, old ink pot, tuok a horse blanket under my chin, and rub me down with brick-bats while I feed !' The poor dandy showed a pair of straight tails instanter, and the whole table joined in a 'tremenjus rore.' In the year of 1848 the Legislature of Illinois gave to the then town of Rock Island, in that State, a city charter, whieh provided for putting in operation a city government, upon condition that an election called for that purpose, a majority of the citizens should vote to accept the oharter. The election was duly called, and everything promised well for the result until two or three days before it was to come off, when opposition to the measure began to show itself, and finally, a 'public meeting of the citizens' was holden at the court house, whioh was well attended, and where it was unanimously 'Resolved, That in view of the fact that cholera, ship-fever, small-pox, and other deadly infections and dangerous epidemics, prevail to an alarming extent in all cities, the attempt to bring these calamities upon our hearty indiganation ; and that we now, md always will oppose a city charter.' The consequence was, those persons ambitious of sitting in the Mayor's chair were obliged to wait another year. Since that time a 'publio meeting at the court-house' has frequenty been resorted to, at.d it always proves a wet blanket on all innovations. "Judge Moore, who many years ago presided in the courts of several of the western counties of Pennsylvania, was frequently finding fault with the lawyers for bringing unimportant suits into his courts. On one occasion he thus sharply addressed the plaintiff's council, a young and hopeful limb of the law : "Mr. R , why did you bring this suit to our court? Why did you not leave it out to be decided by three honest men of the neighborhood ?" "Yer honor," replied R , "I preferred that honest men shouldn't try it." At the breakfast table, a lady, who was afflicted with the dyspepsia, and had a 'dreadful' dream, was oomplaining sadly, describing the sensation to the sympathizing husband. 'I was all the time climbing up, up, the hill j every little while I stopped to rest, and up, up. Oh ! I was so tired ! the fact is, I had a real night-mare.' 'Then, why, my dear,' said the affeotionate husband, <did you not get on and ride up the hill?' _ t&" An old woman praising, in rather enthusiastic terms, the sermon of a certain Rev. Dandyduck, who had acquired a great name for depth and sublimity. The suspi"V \\ar anitnr ware ft littlfi roused. and she ventured to propose a question to her? {Well, Jenny, do you understand him ?' < Understand him !' holding up her hands in astonishement at the question ; 'me understand him 1 would I have the presumption ?' Domestic Disease.?A couple (not long married,) were contending about what should be the name of their first and only child. < William, my dear, I want to name him Peter.' < Oh ! no, my love; I don't like Peter? he denied his master. Let us call him Joseph.' ' Why, William I can't bear Joseph?he denied his Mistress.' Riddle.?It was done when it was begun, it was done when it was half done, and yet it wasn't done when it was finished.? Now what was it ? Of course you can't guess. Will this do? Timothy Johnson courted Susannah Dunn. It was done when it was begun, and it was done when it was half done, and yet it wasn't done when it was finished?for it was Johnson. WS* A facetious fellow, being very unxious for the acquisition of Cuba, says he is wil ? r-- u_i_ ling to neip pay ior it, w ueip u^mi mi ^ i r.nd, if that won't do, he'I! go for it aocord-! ing to law. JfiF* Some of the spunky ladies of Lewis- j ton, Me., offered to convey voters for prohibition to the polls, on eleotioo day, in wheelbarrows, if they could get there by no other means! A man in Boston who was stoutly objecting, last winter, to bis wife's learning to skate, has since concluded to "let her slide." _ Jgy What is the difference between a duck with one wing and a duck with two wings ?

It is evident that intemperance is productive of much evil; so, temperanoe embraoed and rauintained results in equally much good, not only as a restorative bat a prevenative. Then why not all good people join | the temperance cause ? If not actually sign ] tho pledge, embrace the principles, as the I one produces evil and the other good:? choosing the good and refusing the evil.? The temperanoe cause is one of the best of causes. It is not only consistent with right reason, but with the Christian religion, as God has said no drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. There is no need of labor to convince the world of mankind, that drinking ardent spirits tends to destructive results, present and eternal. But to prevail 1 on all men not to drink, while sober men J make and hand out, remains yet to be done. Nevertheless, let temperance men labor on in hope of saving some j for the labors of the temperance men have affected much to the saving a multitude from drunkard's graves. Much more remains to be done, to open the eyes of the blind and to unstop the deaf ears of those agents for sin and satan who are making or handing out ardent spirits, to the increase of drnnkardness in the earth. The good cause of temperance must one day triumph ; it has truth on its side. Some of the makers and venders have heard the sound and tasted the bitter frnits of their doings; have hearkened to the warning voice that says (<let the wicked man forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts.' It does appear to me that all good people, of both sexes, should join in with the temperance hosts and laborto have the eyes of tbose agents for sin or satan more effectually opened, that they may see clearly that they are the only source from whence all the drunkenness in the earth comes, and are accessory to all crime arising therefore), and are consequently guilty of the destruction of many thrniMnri human beinfirs. who are annually I ??? o ' w 3wept off the stage of aotion by the destructive flood of spiritous liquors, which come from the maker and vender alone. They are U3 truly the support of drunkenness, as do the little streams supply the larger ones. Dry up the springs, the fountain fails and the supplies for intemperance and drunkenness end. Men say they do aot make it to destroy lives, but it is good n its place. If we are well, we do not neec it. If we are sick, it will not cure us; and they know at the same time there is a destructive flood of it gone forth that goes to no other use but for the lovers of strong drink to gratify their appetities, to the increase of drunkenness and the slaying of tens of thousands, where we cannot ascribe to it the saving a thousand. And there are no way for them to extricate themselves from the guilt but to desist from the practice, relinquish their agency for sin and satan, and sacrifice the profits of the traffic for the sake of salvation. Otherwise the woe that is denounced against the wicked will be their portion; as it is written, "woe unto the wicked, they shall receive the reward for the fruit of their doing."? For all the crimes accruing from the effects of intoxication is the fruit of their doings as much as the roots of the tree is the support of the trunk, the branches, and the fruit. Where then is the hope of their reward For this fruitful source of evil, only with satan, as they have been occupying to the strength of this kingdom. For when an offeDSO is committed, he that is knowingly accessory thereto, though not directly the perpetrator of the deed, is a partner in the crime, consequently alike guilty and incurs the like penalty. . What, then, is the condition of the Statesmen, Legislators and Law-makers in our favored old State, who instead of aiding, should be laying the axe to the root of the evil tree. Some of you, too, are lovers of strong drink, who give your oustom to retailers, thus encouraging evil while you should be making laws for its suppression and the protection of them that do well. Your deeds of intemperance and dissipation have cast a shade upon your names and station and degraded the State. You too must give account, for you not only condemn yourselves in the thing you do, but in that which you allow others to do also. You take away the protection from the mother and her children, by saying if a man will pay a certain sum of money he may have license to sell his rtim, thus buying liberty of you to manufacture drunkards, by which many a boy is beggared, many a murder committed, and many mothers left to mourn out their widowed days in grief.? You have given you sanction to the increase of a flood of tears which you have power to prevent, for the law should be for the suppression of evil and the nrotection of them that would do well. You make laws in favor of the vender and him that drinks, but hewhile under the influence thereof, transgre3, ses the law and as an offender is brought before the court to answer to the law he has broken, when perhaps the same Esquire has given a lawful permit to some one to make him drunk, which qualified him to commit the crime. The question is, how many are accessory to the deed ? how many stand implicated, and how many shall give account for the transgression ? Is it not matter enough for men seriously to consider what they are doing in thus aiding dissipation and crime ? It looks to me the mass of onr people stand on the side of the guilty; for if there is one righteous man among a thousand, he is not willing to be accessory to a crime or do anything to the injury of his fellow-man, for the sake of popularity or profit; but he would stand up for the good cause and risk consequences. There is a flood of intemperance now in our land ; a call has gone forth for people to unite in bands to stop its destructive oourse. It surely behooves all good people to join the temperance train as the source of good, the only sure way to overcome the evil.? Some men ridicule signing a pledge, and say it is a weak person that has to sign the pledge to keep from drinking. It is true some do stand without, but it would not hurt them, I am sure to join and give weight to the temperance en d of the balance. Let those that do Zxjc drink join, to encourage those wlin rln rlrinlr fn lain Q n rl fVinw flRVA tfioil* ??v ?v ..... ... ? neighbors, their relations or perhaps their children from a drunkard's grave. Let him him that is in the practice of drinking a little, sign the pledgee forthwith, for he is already too weak to stand aloDe, or is not on safe ground, and his example is not good; for if he never is drunk himself, he may influence ethers to drink, and they become drunkards; for he is catting his influence into the intemperance end of the scale. Let the drunkard forsaks bis way, come sighHc ; pledge; I am sure it will Strengthen him to reform his life. 1 once spoke to a young man on the subject of joining the temperance society. He answered uie rather deriiliogly ; said be thought it a weak way of doing to sign a paper to keep from drinking; he could let it alone if he pleased, cr if he drank he knew how to govern himself. A short time after he went to town to get some work done on a watch, he became intoxicated and left the watch, he knew not where aod came from town he knew not how. Some honest person took care of his watch and helped him get out of town. The horse brought him on towards home and when he came to hicuoalr ka catrl Via ttiom nrVint hflnomeof I iiv OUIU MW BUQn Llv/b Tl ? , the watch or how he got oat of town. That wan the way he took care of himself. The only safe way is taste not, wbioh is the plan the young man has now adopted, and he stands elevated to office. Ye virgin daughters also come sign the pledge; have your names enrolled in favor of the temperance cause, lest ye yourselves be taken in the snare, by be:og bound for life to a drunken husband. It isifl your powj er to put a stop to intemperance for if you j are the weaker vessel your influence is powj erful. Ye fathers and mothers too, come I sign th 3 pledge to help to save your sons from drunkards' graves. I know an honored old roan that has been making spirits these many years, and in the first of my house keeping I also thought it necessary to | keep some, for I knew no better then, but have long since found I could do without; and people who made spirits years past were not so guilty then as they are now, knowing the evi! arising therefrom. But strange to tell, the honored old Esqnire continues yet. He has raised 6ons, some are dead, one of them recently died of intemperance, and his father^ as wc arc informed, furnished him with the article until he was nearly dead.? i Seeming to have respect for the money, but not enough for his son's welfare. Ye Farmers, furnish not the distillers with your grain, because he will give the higher price; let not $e labor of your hands go to the support of that fruitful source of evil, lest you also be found guilty of a brother's blood, by furnishing the staff of life to be converted into an article of death. Yo millers too, grind nottha grain, lest you also be found doing work for the destruction of men, and thus dishonor God; for every man that honors God, is careful how his hands are employed, having respect to the recompense of reward. Wo unto you Lawyers and Dootors, professional men and men of influence, ye will not come in yourselves, and prevent others also, by your example, from coming in ; for you taste the baitand many of the noblest of your class are caught in the snare and go down to drunkards graves. The temperance pledge offers sure salvation from | the destruction which comes by intemperance. Ye ministers of the gospel, labor for temperance as being connected with righteousness ; teaching the whole law without respect to present rewards, looking to the furture; teaching your people to clear their hands, every one from the intemperance stain, and thu9 clear yourselves of a sinner's blood. Come, then, all people, make a league with each other and join heart and mind to put an end to intemperance, removing its evil from our land by taking away its supports; viewing no longer with indifference the destruction of its victims and voto no more for drinking men to legislate for us. gusracss $jW?cts.

The Hair.?People have for oenturlet been afflicted with baldheads, and the only remedy, heretofore known, has been those abotfiinable wigs. By a recent discovery of Professor-Wood . mcsu unifies uro tieing iiibi uispenseu wiid, oni a great many persons still patronise tbetn, because they bare been so often imposed upon by Hair Tonics of different kinds. To all such persons we earnestly make tbe request, that they will try ence again, for in Wood's Restorative there is no such thing as fail. We know of a lady who was bald, who used the article a abort time, and her head is now covered completely with the tiniest and most beantiful curls imaginable.? We know of numerous cases where hair was iwpidly falling out, which it restored in greater perfection than it eTer bad been before. It is also without doubt one of the best articles for keeping the hair in good condition, making it soft and glossy,removing dandruff, and has proved itself the greatest enemy to all the ills that hair Is heir to. It is the duty of every one to improve their personal appearance though some may differ in regard to the ways of doing it; bat every one will admit that a beautiful head of bair, either in man or woman, is an object much to be desired, and there are no means that should be left untried to obtain such a consideration.? f Woman't Advocate, Philadelphia. ? .

I have been engaged in the Drug business for several years, and have sold various preparations for tbe bair, but have Jbuud nothing that restores the lecretive organs or invigorates the scalp as wall as yours, beiDg fully convinced that your restorative is wb&t you represent it to be.
