BY JULIAN A. SELBY A grocer in a certain town keeps a little brown jug near his cider barrel, and when he wants to do the fair thing by a customer, he mingles some of the contents of the aforesaid jug with the cider. He made a mingle the other day for an old farmer, but got in a good deal of benzine and a little cider. About an hour after drinking, the farmer was observed leaning against a fence, and was heard to soliloquize: "It's too early for sun? stroke, and too late to freeze to death, and I guess it's a touch of the shakin ager." A countryman took his seat at a I hotel table opposite a gentleman i who "was indulging in a bottle of wine. Supposing the wine to be common property, our unsophisti- j cated country* friend helped him? self to it, with the gentleman's glass. "That's cool!" exclaimed the owner of the wine indignantly. "Yes," coolly replied the other, "I| should think there was fee in it." New has got his commission,] duly signed by Grant, and -will seat himself in the Treasury De? partment in July and try his Now signature.

Some? times the pain is in the shoulder, and is mistaken for rheumatism. The stomach kis affected with loss of appetite and sick IncsB, bowels in geneml costive, and sometimes alternating with lax. The head is troubled with pain, and dull, heavy sensation, considerable loss of memory, accompanied with painful sen? sation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. Often complaining of weakness, debility and low spirits. Sometimes many of the I above symptoms attend the disease, and at other times, very few of them; but the Liver is generally the organ most in? volved. SIMMONS' LIVER REGULATOR! For all Discuses of the Liver, Stoinucli ami Spleen !

Eminent physicians commend it as the most EFFECTUAL SPECIFIC for Constipation, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Dizziness. Sour Stomach, bad taste in the Month, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, Despondency, Gloom and forebodings of evil ; all of which are the offspring of a diseased Liver.

The Liver, tbe largest organ in the body, is generally the seal of the disease, and if not Regulated in time, great suffering, wretchedness und DEATH wiW ensue.
