THE SXA.CX IN SCHOOL.
The following ;u< h- nt in a Drstri.;’.'
School is sold by Mr. YV . mi T •: l’
er, of New York, President of ti;e Man
hattan Insurance Company, in a poeiica!
address before “Toe Literary Society,” in
StoekSridge, Mas? its, his •
home:
A district school, not fir away,
*Mld Berk-hire bills, or;.; wl *r' lay
Was humming with its woi.**d ■’ ’
Of UitMcart mtngl l girl
But more on fnrtiv" mischi- f t-> ■*;
The while the master’s downward 1< k
Was fastened an a copy 1 v»k;
When suddenly, behind his back.
Rose sharp and clear a rouing smack 1
As Twere a battery of bliss
Let off in one tremendous ki '
“What’s that?” the startled mi-:«r cries,
■“That, thir,” a li'tle imp n [ lie;,
W -
I thaw him kith Thuthannah Pea’he!”
With frown to make a statue th ill,
The master thundered, “Huber Will !”
Like wretch o’ertaken in his track,
Wkth stolen chattels on his back,
Will hung his head In fear ami -hame,
And 'o th’fr.wf i! pre-ence cam —
A great, green, bashful simpleton.
The butt of all good-natured fun—
With smile suppressed, and bireh upraised,
The threatener faltered—T'm amazed
That you, my biggest pupil, .-hould
Be guilty of an act so n de!
Before the whole set school to boot—
What evil genieus put you to’i.-”
“ ’Twas she, herself, sir,” sobbed the lad,
“I didn’t mean to be so bad—
But when Susarnah shook her curl;,
And whispered I was afraid of girl.;,
And dursn’t kiss a baby’s doll,
4 couid’nt stand it, sir, at all,
But up and kissed her on the spot!
I know—hnn hen—f nnnhr frt r<,,r
But, somehow, from her looks—boo hoo—
I thought she kind o’ wished me too!”
£It is to be hoped the “muster” did not
whip that boy.]
Mrs. Jameson says: “The bread of
life is love; the salt of life is work; the sugar
of life is poetry; the water of life is faith.”
(23?” A lady wished a seat. A porfly,
handsome gentleman brought one, and seated
the lady. ‘O, you're a jewel.’ ‘O, no,’ re
plied he,‘I’m a jeweller. I have just set the
ewcl.’
When a great man stoops or trips, the
small men around him suddenly become great
er.
Why are fowls the most economical
things farmers keep! Because for every grain
they give a peck.

and i can say for the truth, it is the best medi
cine for the Flux 1 have ever seen, for it has

Dr. J. M. Si.kook—Dear Sir: After iny re
spects to you, please let mo say to you that my
friend, Mr. F. Russer, the gentleman to whom
I went with to sea from Gallatin, has im
proved to the extent that lie is able to go any
where his business calls him; in fact your
medicine has performed such miraculous
cures, in every instance where it has been
tried, that having gone into business at iluzle
liurst, the depot near me. I have concluded to

Dr. J. M. Sledge:
Dear Sir—In conversation with your agent,
I learned that some prejudiced persons, which
are to be found everywhere, against patent med
icines, spoke of your medicines us not doing
much for themselves or any one else. To see
justice done between all parties, and to enable
others, if they wish, to receive the same bene
fits that 1 have from your medicines, I will
simply give you a statement or tacts, which
you can make any use of you please. If any
one doubts let them call on me and lean satis
fy them. I am probably as well known as any
one in this portion of the State, but 1 am not
in the habit of giving certificates, but feel
that in giving this one 1 am fully justified.—
I My son was taken sick with the Flux last July,
j and lay seventeen or eighteen days, when all
hope on my part was gone, and nothing ap
peared to do him any good, I commenced giv
ing him your Diarrhcea or Flux Syrup, and he
commenced mending immediately. 1 verily
j believe it was the saving of his life. You have
the facts. Hoping that others may receive
the benefit that my son did, I rema'in, yours
respectfully, JOHN F. ANDERSON.
Anderson. Tenn., March 31, 1858.
Dr. Sledge:—Dear Sir: Your medicines
nave rendered general satisfaction here ; they
have even gone beyond the battering recom
mendation given by yourself. I have used in
my family, with unparalleled success, your
Nervous Tonic, your Diarrhma Syrup, and
your Liniment anil Hoarhound Pectoral ; and
have found them superior to any medicines
ever used here, for the various diseases arising
f;i,m a miasmatic country like this, where
Fever and Ague. Diarrhea and Rheumatism,
are the prevailing diseases. Your Nervous
Tonic has been used by many others as well
as myself, as a preventive of Fever and Ague ;
and it has invariably given satisfaction. 1
for one say emphatically that it will prevent
Chills and Fevers, if taken according to ■
directions; and that one bottle will save any
family ten times the cost, if used as a preven
tive. 1 used it in my family last year, and I
will certify on oath that one bottle saved me
at le. .st ten times its cost. The three jeers'
previous to last year, not one of us escaped j
the Chills and Fevers, and last year we used ,
[only one of your bottles of Nervous Tonic;
EM PHIS - D\ ERTIsf.MkjJ*
and if there was a Chill or fever, or »"'N*
tom of one, in my family, I never kmn/}*''
could cite ymi to numerous cases that 1
given out as hopeless, by able physician*^
Cho era and Diaril. a Syrup have cured?Ia
you have a certificate from Mr. Anderson'**
is welt known, that will surprise you ji'M
ing you a knowledge of the invaluable esf
tion your medicines are held in here. |
giv ’ you many names here, of good ami
able men, who will certify on oath whi*
stated in J. F. Anderson’s certificate
where \ our Diari hcca Syrup has pprfor\ *»s
. many other cures that were equally as hontt Dji

Yours, respectfully,

witii feeding by hand, (a very injurious pratjjlH
