-Why is a horse half way through a
gate like a penny? Because its head is on
on* side and tail on the other.
-The President of a Debating Society,
out West, lately decided that the milk of "hu
man kindness,” meant milk punch with nut
meg in it.
-A little one, after undergoing the disa
greeable operation of vaccination, exclaimed,
"Now I won’t have to be baptised, will 1?”
-The Isn’t Party, now trying to oppose
the Democracy, reminds us of the fellow who
said that he only knew two tunes. One, said
he, is Old Hundred, and the other isn't.
-“Mr. Thompson,” observed a sympa
thetic divine, "'when a man is in trouble and
tries to seek consolation, he always finds it.”
“So he does,” responded the .matter-of-fact in
dividual, “in the dictionary.”
Smiles.—There’s a vacant smile, a cold
smile, a smile of hate, a satiric smile, an af
fected smile, a smile of approbation, a friendly
smile; but above all, a smile of love. A wo
man has two smiles an angel might envy—the
smile that accepts the lover before the words
are uttered, and the smile that lights on the
first-born babe, and assures him of a mother’s
love.

Dr. J. M. Sledge—Dear Sir: After my re
spects to you, please let me say to you that my
l friend, Mr. F. Russer. the gentleman to whom
I went with to sea from Gallatin, has im
; proved lo the extent that he is able to go any
i 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 Hazle
1 hurst, the depot near me, I have concluded to
, try sopie of your Compounds, as I understood
. you to say when you were here that you
f would t.keoft 20 or 25 per cent. You will
1 therefore please send to me say 18 bottles
Cholera Medicine, 18 bottles Nerve and Bone
Liniment". 24 bottle? Hoarhotind Pectoral, and
you will rind enclosed, in your Nervous Tonic.
’ I send the right hand end of the money, and
on the reception of the first half, you will
* please send the medicine and write to me, and
I will send the other half. I expect you to
send me your Nervous Tonic at $1 GO, as you
! sold it at $2 00 by the single bottle. Do not
■ delay sending the Medicine, as there is a con
i' siderable demand or call for it. Mr. Peave,
who was given over to die in a few days, is up
' and going about, and I have no douht he will
1 recover. THOS. H. WHEELER.

Da. 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 as 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 I have from your medicines, I will
simply give you a statement of facts, which
you can make any use of you please If any
one doubts let them call on me and 1 can 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 I am fully justified.—
My son was taken sick with the Flux last July,
and lay seventeen or eighlecn days, when all
hope on my part was gone, and nothing ap
peared to do him any good, I commenced giv
ing him vour Diarrhoea or Flux Syrup, anti he
commenced mending immediately. 1 verily
believe it was the saving of his life. You have
the facts. Hoping that others may receive
the benefit that my son did, I remain, yours
respectfully, JOHN F. ANDERSON.
Andersox, Tens,, March 31, 1858.
Da. Sledge:—Dear Sir: Your medicines'
nave rendered general satisfaction here ; they
I have even gone beyond the flattering recom
mendation given by- yourself. I have used in
my family, with unparalleled success, your
Nervous Tonic, yonr Diarrhoea Syrup, and
your Liniment and Hoarhound Pectoral ; and j
nave found them superior to any medicines j
ever used here, for the various diseases arising
from a miasmatic country like this, where
j Fever and Ague, Diarrhoea and Rheumatism, j
are the prevailing diseases. Your Nervous i
I Tonic has been used by many others as well
! as myself, as a preventive of Fever anil Ague ;1
and it has invariably given satisfaction. 1
for one say emphatically that it will prevent,
Chills and Fevers, if taken according to the
i directions; and that one bottle will save any
family ten times the cost, if used as a preven
| tive I used it in mv family last year, and I
will certify on oath that one bottle saved me
at least ten times its cost. The three years
previous to last year, not one of us escaped
• the Chills and Fevers, and last year we used
I only one of vour bottles of Nerveus Tonic;
