"JIte e of ARTFUL ExPEDENT.-A laborer in Italy, employed in throwing down rub bish from a house, called to the pas sengers to takecare ; but one of them, paying no attendier to the warning, was wounded by a stone. He cited the man at the court of justice, and de ianded damages. A celebrated advo cate undertook the def'ence of the la. borer; but he found it impossible to prove that his client had really warned the passengers to take care, ho had recourse to an expedient to gain his object. When the case therefore came to be tried, an the defendant was asked why lie had thrown down the stones so heedlessly, he stood mute and mo tionless. 'The judge repeated his ques tion, but he maintained an obstinate silence ; and when the judge expressed his surprise at it, the advocate said that his client was, unfortunately, deaf and dumb. "No, no," exclaimed the plaintiff, off his guard, "it is Ihlse, it is an eva sion ; I myself heard hint very plainly say, 'Take care !" " And why, then, did you not fol. low his warnings ?" said the judge, smiling, as he dismissed the case. HAYNSWORTH & GREEN, wMI. II AYNswAORTII. .1O1!N T. GitEEN. ATTORNEYS AT LAW.

My sores got well as if by enchantment. I have now used in all eignt bottles of your " Etruct of Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla," and I now consider myself well. I entreat all of the afflicted to try this inedi cino, for I believe it will cure any known dis. ease in the world.-Lay aside all prejudice and just try it, and proclaim its great worth to sufferig mankind and entreat them to take it, for it will cure them. ily case is well known in a large portion of South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama,'and if any should doubt the above cure,1 invite them to call on ine, and I will show them the scars.
