A certain farmer (a pillar of the church) had a fine field of wheat, ?which, being a little late, was threat? ened with an early frost. In the emergency, he went into his closet and wrestled in prayer with the Lord for iis preservation. In his prayer, he stated the facts fully, and how the wheat would be affected by the frost, j and wound up his petition in these ?words: "Not, Lord, that I would dic? tate, but merely reiorrmend ana advise." JUMPED OVER A "WATERFALL..-In the New Orleans Museum, recently, the young lady who goes into the lion's den put too much pomatum on her hair. Wheu she stooped to let the Mexican lion jump over her, as usual, that sagacious beast stopped, to tho great alarm of the spectators, and bit off her waterfall. Mlle. Louise struck tho beast with her w hip and recovered the lost treasure. AC HEP OF TUE OLD BLOCK. - "Here, you young rascal, walk up and give an account of yourself. Where have you been?" "After the girls, father. " "Did you ever know mc to do so when I was a boy?" "No, sir; bu<; mother did." A little boy asked his mother what "blood relations" meant. Sho re? plied that it signified near relatives, etc. After thinking a moment he said: "Then, mother, you must be the bloodiest relation I've got." A young lady lately appearing in male attire, some male brute said that her disguise was so perfect that she might have passed for a man, had she a little more modesty. The boy who was caught looking into the future has been arrested for trying to see tho show without pay? ment. "Black stockings of all colors," were lately advertised in an Irish paper.

For all Diseases to which a Horse is Liable. THE various diseases to which that no? ble and useful animal, tbe horse, is subject, and the little knowledge that is known of them by farriers and ignorant ostlers, have occasioned many remedies to be offered to tho public under different forms, with high encomiums, and sanc? tioned by dignified names. Somo of these are injurious; others, at best, of little use, and many entirely worthless, and do not meet the want. A good medicine, free from objections of this kind, has long been desired by many gentlemen who have va? luable horses. Wc therefore offer tho only good medicine-the true "GERMAN HORSE POWDER," which has proved so efficacious in all the disease". . It is pre? pared from the.original recipe of Dr. Hei nit8h, of Germany. Its extraordinary vir? tues are attested to by thousands, and for fifty years has stood, and still stands, first in the estimation of all experienced farm? ers and agriculturists as thc best medicine for the horse. It is recommended for horses foundered by eating to excess or drinking cold water when heated, to such &B have symptoms of glanders or arc ex? posed to thc infection by being with other horse" for indigestion, distemper, hide- j bonna, drowsiness, loss of appetite, inward sprains, debility, wasting of flesh, sore eyes, swelled legs, grease, mange, surfeit, old coughs, for exhaustion from work. It carries off all foul humors, purifies and cools the blood, and prevents horses be? coming stiff and foundered. It is a stimu? lus for weak stomachs, and renders tho limbs ami skin soft and Uno, giving a smooth coat to the hair.

THE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, the great American Alterative and Blood run? tier, is Hie most perfect vegetable com? pound of alteratives, tonics, diuretics and diaphoretics; making it tue most effective invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleansing cordial known to tho world. In introducing this new and extraordi? nary medicine to tbe public, observation leads us to remark that too Little attention is paid to the "life of all flesh," tbe blood. Many diseases, and, too, many complaints, which have their origin in a vitiated state of thc blood, are treated only as symptoms and results; whereas, if the remedy bad been applied to enrich the blood and ren? der it pure, both cause, and effect would , have been removed. The Queen's Delight is offered to the afflicted as a sure remedy for those diseases arising from an impure condition of thc blood, lt bas a direct and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently renders the blood pure, lt is said, on high authority, that ''man no sooner begins to live than he begins to die, and that tho characteristics of thc I living organism are ceaseless change and ceaseless waste." It is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless the blood is pure, in supplying the waste tis? sues with material, it must be the cause of innumerable ills and constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, &c. Life and health is only to be maintained by the circulation of pure arterial blood. Ve therefore advise every ono whose blood is in tho least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whoso constitution is im? paired by disease and is suffering from Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Cousump I tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, Roils, Itching Humor of the Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness of tho Skin, Pimples, Blotches, Tains in the Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictio Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of tho i Bladder and Kidneys, Tains in the Back, General Debility, and for all complaints arising from deficiency and poverty of blood, lo use the Queen's Delight. Females of delieato constitution, suffer? ing from weakness and depression ot mind in cons?quence of those complaints which nature imposes at the period of change, have a pleasant and sure remedy in the Queen's Delight. Children whose fair and ruddy complex? ion gave early promise of health and beauty, but too soon become blanched and pale by some hereditary taint of thc blood, will have tho rich booii restored by using the Queen's Delight. The unacclimated and persons ti aveling into warm countries will find the Queen's Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection and diseases which originate in a change of climate, diet and life. The extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed by the Queen's Delight Compound is attracting thc attention of every one, not only at home, but abroad. The merits of this compound arc being felt and appreciated everywhere. Hear what they say of it in New York: "It is a remedy of much importance and value, exerting an influence over all the secre? tions, which is unsurpassed by any other known alterative. It is extensively used in all the various forms of primary and secondary syphilitic affections; also, in scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous diseases, in which its uso is followed by the most successful results." Ita properties as a remedy were first in? troduced to the notice of the profession by Dr. Thoa. Young Simons, of South Carolina, as early as 1828, as a valuable alterative re? medy in syphilitic affections, and others re? quiring use of mercury. Dr. Simons' state? ments have been endorsed and extended by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. H. R. Frost, of Charleston. From the reports in its favor, there seems no reason to doubt the efficacy of this medicine in Secondary Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Diseases, Chronic Hepatic Affections and other com? plaints benefited by alterative medicines.
