'Tis a very ancient snying, Time till now bas proved it true: "Do unto all your neighbors As you would have them do to you." But another saying now prevails, Of au ontirely different huo: "Be sure and do your neighbors, Or they'll certainly do yon." A young man who recently foll ia love with a beautiful young lady, gays that when he learned the other evening that she recip? rocated his passion, ho felt as though he was sitting on top of a meeting house, and every shingle was a Jewaharp. Ia the last illness of the witty Georgo Coleman, the doctor being late in an ap? pointment, apologized to his patient, saying he had called in to see a man who had fallen down a well. "Did he kick the bucket, doctor?" groaned out George. G?0D4BuMs FOR AJ?I?.-Profana swearing is abominable. Vulgar language is disgust? ing. Loud laughing is impolite. Inquisi? tiveness is offensive. Tattling is mean. Telling lies is contemptible. Slandering is devilish. Ignorance is disgraceful, and laziness is shameful. Avoid all the above vioes, and aim at usefulness. This is tho road by which to become respectable. Walk in it. Never be ashamed of honest labor. Pride is a curse-a hateful vice. Never act the hypocrite. Speak tho truth at all times.

The deceased was apparently well, and, at tho time of his death, was pursuing; his walk home. A jury of inquest was im? mediately summoned, and a verdict of "death from an apoplectic fit," returned.

Office of Udolpho Wolfe, Son: IiiroRT. OF THE SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS 22 BEAVES STREET, NEW YORE, Nov. 3, 'G8. To the People of the Southern States. When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widely known as Wolfe's SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, was introduced into tho world, nuder tho endorse? ment of 4,000 leading members of thc medical pro? fession, some twenty years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to new and useful preparations. He, therefore, endeavored to invest it with the strongest possihlo safeguard against counterfeit? ers, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguish? ed chemists for analysis, and pronounced hy them tho purest spirit over manufactured. Its nurity and properties having been thus ascertained, samples of tho article were forwarded to 10,000 physcians, including all the leading practitioners in tho United States, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a report of the result, accompanied each specimon. 4,000 of tho most eminent medical mon in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions of tho article were unanimously favorable. Such a preparation, they said, had long been wanted by the profession, as no rolianco could ho placed on tho ordinary liquors of commerce; all of which wore moro or leas adulterated, and, therefore, unlit for modical purposes. The peculiar excel? lence and strength of the oil of juniper, which formed one of tho principal ingredients of the Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of tho alcoholic element, give it, in tho estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from professional men of tho highest rank were published in a condensed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as ono of the guarantees of its genuineness. Other precautions against fraud wore also adopted; a patent was obtained for the article, the label was copyrighted, a fae simile of tho proprietor's autograph signature was attached to each label and cover, his name and that of the preparation wore embossed on tho bottles, and the corks were sealed with his private seal. No articlo had over hoon sold in this country under tho name of Schnapps prior to tho introduction of Wolfo's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1351; and the ?abel was deposited, as his trade mark, in tho United States DistrictCourt for the Southern Dis? trict of New York during that year. It might be supposed, ny persons unacquainted with the daring character of tho pirates who prev npon thc reputation of honorable merchants, by vending deleterious trash under their name, that tho protections so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would havo precluded tho introductions and salo of counterfeits. Thoy seem, however, only to havo stimulated tho rapacity of impostors. Tho trade mark of the proprietor has boen stolen: the endorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from tho medical pro? fession has benn claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labols an bottles have boen imitated, his ad? vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied, and, worse than all, dishonorable retailors, after disposing of tho genuine contents of his bottles, have filled them up with common gin, the most deleterious of all liquors, and thus made his name and brand a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession and tho sick, for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as a remedy, aro equally interested with tho proprietor in the detection and suppression of these nefarious practices. Tho genuino articlo, manufactured at tue establishment of the under? signed, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barley of the finest quality, and flavored with au essential extract of the berry of the Italian juniper, of unequalled purity. By a process un known 'a the preparation of any other liquor, it i? freed from every acrimonious and corrosive ?le? sest. _ ' ' Complaints have been received from tlje feaBin? physicians and families In tfco Son liiert Bt4bls7 Of- the sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps m those markets; and travel era, who are in the habit of using it as an antidote to the baneful influence of unwholesome river water, testify that choap gin, pnt up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed Off Upon the unwary. Tho amenta of tho undersigned have been requested to institute inquiries on the subject, and to for? ward to him tho names of such parties as they may ascertain to bo engaged in the atrocious system of deception. In conclusion, the under ' s?gnod would s*y that ho has produced, from under j the hands of the most distinguished men of ! science in America, proofs unanswerable of the I purity and medicinal excellence of thc Schiedam I Aroma t io Schnapps; that behan expended many thousand dollars in surrounding if with guarantees j and safeguards, which he designed should protect the public and himself against fraudulent imita j tiona; that ho lias shown it to be the only 'liquor in tho world that can be uniformly depended upon at* unadulturated; that ho has challenged investi* gation, analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forms; and lrom every ordeal the prepa? ration which bears his name, seal and trado mark, ! has como off triumphant. Ii;", therefore, feels it a j duty ho owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to tho' medical profession and tho sick, to denounce I and expose tho Charlatans who counterfeit theso ' evidences of identity, and he calls upon the press ! and tho public to aid him in hi:, efforts to remedy j so great an evil. ' The following letters and certificates, from tho I leading physicians and chemists of this city, will prove to the reader that all Roods sold by the undersigned are all they are represented to bo. UDOLPHO WOLFE. I 1 feel bound to say. that I regard your Schnapps aa being, in every respect, pre-eminently pure, ? and deserving of medical patronage.

DEMI Stn: I have made a chemical examination of a sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, witli the intent of determining if any foreign orinjurioui substance had been added to the simple distill?e j spirits. DEAR Sin: The want of pure Wines and Liquors for medicinal purposes, has been loug felt by tin profession, and thousands of lives have been sac riticed by the use of adulterated articles. Dcliriun tremens, and other diseases of the braiu ant nerves, so rife in this country, are very raro it Europe; owing, in a great degre e, to the differenci in tho purity of tho spirits sold. Wo have "tested the several articles importei and sold by vou, including your Gin, which yoi sell under* the name ot Aromatic Schiedan Schnapps, which e consider justly entitled to th high reputation ii has acquired in this country and, from your long experience as a foreign im porter, your Bottled Wines and Liquors shouli meet with tho same demand. Wc would recommend you to appoint some o tho respectable apothecaries in different parts o the city as agents for tho salo of your Brandie and Wines, where tho profession can obtain th same when needed for medicinal purposes.
