Upon the daily toil of the indus trious mechanic, the "daily bread" of mil lions depends; and when the mechanics child kneels beside its little bed, and asks our "Father in Heaven" to give us "our d.iily bread," it prays that the earthly parents arm miy be strengthened for the labors of the day.

The affair occurred in Georgetown, and it seems to have arisen in a drunken fracas between two rival parties, bearing not very elegant names, who have occasioned much annoy ance to the peace of our sister city. Much interest was manifested in the case, and the Courthouse was crowded with youths the acquaintances of both parties. Messrs. Waters and Carrington are counsel for the accused.

WITH such testimony, no stronger proof can be given, unless it be trial of this wonderful Hamp ton's Vegetable Tincture. Let the afflicted read! read! Barbellville, Allegany County, (Md.,) ) May 4,1852. J To Messrs. Mortimer <6 Mowbray: Dear Sim : In justice to Dr. Hampton's Vegetable Tincture, I wish to inform you that I was taken sick on the 3d day of January last, with an affection of the stomach, bowels, and kidneys. I was attended by four eminent physiciaus for more than two months?all to little or no effect. I had some know ledge of the great virtue in Hampton's Tincture from one bottle which my wife had taken two years since. I came to the conclusion that I would take no moremedicine from my physicians, but try the Tincture; and I am happy to inform you I had not taken it two days before I felt its powerful in fluence upon my stomach. I have continued using the Tincture,a?d am now able to leave my room, and can eat any common diet without much inconve nience or pressure on my stomach. The afflicted or their friends are daily visiting me, to learn Df the great virtue there is in this Tincture of Hampton's. I expect to send you several certificates in a few days one especially from a young lady who has been con fined to her room twelve months, with a disease of the head, affecting the brain. Respectfully youra, E. W. HALL. On the permaucy of the cure hear him. Still another letter from the above 1 Barrellville, Allegany County, (Md.,) ) October 18, 1852. ) Messrs. Mortimer <?? Mowbray: Dear Sirs : I am happy to inform you that this day finds me in the enjoyment of. good health, by the use of your Hampton's Tincture and the blessing of God. I am enabled to pursue my daily avoca tions as usual, and I have a great desire that the afflicted should know the great curativ powers of the Tincture. I am, with respect, yours, E. W. HALL. THE ALMOST MIRACULOUS CURES made by Hampton's Vegetable Tincture on our most respect able citizens?men well known and tried?we chal lenge the world to show anything on record in medi cine to equal it. Many hundreds who have felt its heal ing powers bear the same testimony. Baltimore, July 6, 1852., Messrs. Mortimer <? Mowbray : Gents : Last Sep tember I was attacked with erysipelas, from which a dreadful ulcer formed on my right leg. Getting bet ter of this, last November I took a deep cold, which led to what my physician told me was bilious pleurisy, which left me with a constant, deeply-seat ed, and painful cough, having no rest day or night, and constantly throwing up from my lungs a thick matter. 1'became much emaciated, growing weaker everyday, and keeping my bed the greater part of the time. My friends thought I bad the consumption, and at times I was also of the same opinion. At this stage of my disease, after having tried many and va rious remedies, without success, a friend advised me to try DR. HAMPTON'S VEGETABLE TINCURE, and procured me a bottle, which 1 now pronounce the greatest medicine I ever took. Before I had taken j halt the contents of one bottle I felt much im proved ; and now, having taken but two bottes, my ! cough and pains have entirely left me, and I am ena [ bled to attend to business. I can truly say"that, j with the blessing of God, I have been restored to the health I now enjoy by the use of this most in valuable medicine. Yours, WESLEY ROOK., Sehroeder, near Saratoga street. rORTSMOUTH, (Vft->) -^Ug. 18, 1851. Mr. J. E. Boush?Dear Sir: While I am in general opposed to Patent Medicines, candor compels me to state that I have great confidence in the virtues of Hampton's Vegetable Tincture. For several months past I have used it in my family, and in Dy spepsia, loss of appetite, dizziness, and general de bility, with entire success. So far as my experience extends, therefore.

Father, I am afraid; I shrink, before the blast; A traveler of grief and tears, ? 'Till this great storm be passed, I'll trust in Thee. Father, I am afraid; Where hast Thou hid thy face ? Seest Thou the burden on me laid ? Give me?oh! give me grace To trust in Thee. Father, I am afraid; Thine angel Thou hast sent; He bore my best-leved from my arms, Yet Lord?he was but lent. I'll trust in Thee. Father, I am afraid; The valley is in view; Ah! here's Thy precious rod and staff, And they will bear me through, With trust in Thee. Father, I'm not afraid; Thou art my all in all; Death's gloomy river safely passed, Into Thy arms I fall, Trust changed to victory. MY GRANDMOTHER'S GHOST. " I got married when I was twenty," said Bill Gull one day. " I got married to Phebe Chalk, and all these young Gulls that you see rnnning round here came from my lump of Chalk?by Gull." Bill Gull always swore by Gull. It was his only oath. She was a lump of chalk as large one way as the other. Bill Gull was always a bashful, backward youth?and some surprise was expressed that he ever got married at all. " By Gull!" said he, "my grandmother's ghost did the job." "Ghost?job?how's that?" " I'll tell you all about it. You see, I was about as green as a spring gosling, and I thought Phebe was, too. By Gull! she wasn't, though?but she knew I was. "Well, we had a sneaking notion of each other for about two years, but it never would have come to anything if it hadn't been for the ghost. I was too bashful. In the way of making love, I couldn't say as much as boo ! to a goose. And Phoebe was just as bashful; that is, I thought so but she wasn't, though, not by a long chalk.? One night, about half an hour after I had gone to bed, as I lay thinking of Phoebe? for I had been sitting up with her till rather a late hour, as usual, without bringing any thing to pass?the door of my room opened slowly and softly, and in walked a ghostly spectre. The moon was shining full into my windows, and I could not be mistaken. It was all in white. I rose up in my bed, while my teeth chattered and the perspira tion run'off of me in streams. It came al most to my bedside, and pointed a long, bony finger at me, that went through me like a hot iron. I tried to speak, but it was no go. At last a husky voice said: 1 'Bill Gull, you must marry Phebe Chalk right away. You have fooled away your time long enough. Pop the question to morrow night, ?r I shall appear to you again?-do it, Bill Gull." Then the old lady disappeared so quick that I couldn't tell where she went to. I didn't sleep a wink that night. The sensations that kept crawling over me were awful. I thought I felt my hair turning grey, my teeth falling out?my legs and arms dropping off?and all kinds of queer feel ings. It was the longest night ever I experienced. Morning came at last. I met Phebe in the dining room, while she was preparing for breakfast. She had been our housekeeper ever since grandmother died, three years. Mother died the year before. "Bill, what's the matter with your ?" said Phebe. "I feel pale," said I. "You look pale," said she. " Such a night!" said I. " What was the matter, Bill ?" " My grandmother's ghost!" "You don't say!" After to go Phebe Mrs. " how: went It was how wasn't it, the "I more er's to take out of to of dered lack room "I are " I law, ain't he have to into By was band go you 4'I too, ing an know such "0 was and then) never II. the When cut on were shoes. coat for silk

Local AflTnlri. Speculators.?The approach of the inaugu ration of the Chief Magistrate of our Repub lic has attracted to the city many speculators of various kinds. They believe that upon occasions of this sort money is to be made, ?n-i no doubt many are correct. Political (peculators are abundant, and are hard at Turk. Speculators in claims, too, are here, inJ will use their utmost endeavors to "put through" their victims as soon as the most valuable of claims are in their possession. Another species of this genus consists foreign speculators in second-hand literature. Men who at home are distinguished only the grossness of their abuse of Americans, their manners and productions. Men who, unable to produce anything of value them selves, live by retailing the productions their betters. This class expects to be en riched by the fellow citizens of the men abuse. Next the speculatots in pockets, the disciples of the pickpockets of so celebrated by Dickens great authors of the "mother we have only time to caution our citizens to "look out" for the three classes, and leave the first to be the coming administration.

A young friend who bad subscribed for tbe Eveniog Star, upon returning home a or two after at evening, thus addressed sister: Brother..?Do you ever see the Star, sister ? Sister.?Why, yes, brother, quite often. Brother.?It is very strange I Lever it! Sister.?You do not look for it in tbe right place, brother. Brother.?Yes, sister, it must be so. But pray tell me where might the right place be ? Sister.?In the West; and by its side always see a smaller one, as if it were to show its fellow's brightness by comparison. this time it is but a few degrees the horizon. Brother.?You have mistaken my inquiry, sister. I mean the little newspaper the Evening Star. Sister.?Well, brother, I must confess I took your inquiry in the wrong light. But now that we do understand one another, permit me to say I see and read it every evening with much delight; and I do most heartily wish that every day after the rays of the Sun, we may have the lustre light the Evening Star; and that its at least keep it a few degrees above the horizon of success?and my knowledge t its auxiliaries will warrant the assertion that its columns will ever be of the same true light as the star of i is emblem, not dazzling to the eye, but pleasing to us all.
