How I wonder who will wear them ; â€" If the pastor seek to teach By his texts he well may spare them ; ’Tis the milliners that preach. All our eyes such sights are dunking.

When they entered Ihe house there were four servant boys playing cards for a young ass belonging to Fitzpatrick's son They put the your.g ass into a large corn bin that stood in the kitchen until the win- ner would claim him. After searching the house closely the police were about to depart, when the ass made rioise in ihe bin with his feet, when one of the police cried out to the sergeant that Delaney was in the bin. Ail right, says the ser- geant ! John you are in for preferment ! llise the lid !

Scottish questions will be discussed with intelligence and impartiality in the editor- ial columns, and the sentiments of the leading parties on these subjects will be fairly repre- sented and commented upon. in the literary and miscellaneous department of the paper, while merit and talent will be ap- preciated from whatever country they emanate, the Scottish element will pieponderate. Tales, sketches, and poetry, illustrative oi the Scottish character, and of a natuie fitted to call lonli die sympathies ot Scotchmen both at home and abroad, will occupy a conspicuous placo. In this department, the co-operation oi various distinguished authors, possessing unrivalled facilities lor the task, has been secured- in politics, the Journal will occupy a thoroughly independent position, alike free from party bias and national prejudice. In or- der to ii terest its readers wherever situated, it will take a broad view of topics of this class, choiding those of a merely local nature, except in solar as they may p;esent points of import- ance to the general public Questions involv- ing the interests of British residents in the United States and in the British Provinces, will be specially consideied, and it is believed that the information and news ot the Journal on tiiis impo taut class i f subjects will be such as shali command atten ion. i he Scottish American Journal, will in every re-peet be conducted in an efficient and busn’ ess like man-er, with every requisite guarantee for its permanence.

MORSE, the inventor of Morse’s Indian Root I'ills, has spent the greater portion of iits life in traveling, having visited Europe, Asia and Alricn, as well as North Americaâ€" has spent thiee years among th > Indians of our Western countryâ€"it was in this way that the Indian Root Pills were first discovered. D . Morse w *is tho first man to establish the iacl that all diseases aii>e fiom IMPURI TY OK THE 15L<)()Uâ€"that our strength, health and life depended upon this vital fluid. When the vatious pass; ge< become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with ihe dif- ferent functions of the body, tho blood lo>es its action, becomes thick, corrupted apd diseased ; thus causing all pains, sickness and dist ess ol every name ; our strength is exhausted, our health we are deprived of, and if nature is not asfisted in t trowing oil’ the stagnant humors, the blood will become choked and cea;>e to act, and thus our light of life will be forever blown out. 1 low important then that we should keep the various passages of the body free and open. } And how pleasant lo us that we have it iu oili power to put a medicine in your reach, namely, Morse’s Indian Root Pills, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around the moil i atmous cliffs in Nature’s Garden, for tho health and recovery of diseased man- One of the roots from which these Pills are made is a Sudorific, which opens the pores of the skin, and assists Nature ill throwing out the finer parts of the corruption within. The second is a plant which is an Expectorant, that upens and uni logs the passage to the lungs by copious spitting. The third is a Diuretic, which j;ives ease and double strength lo the kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw laige amounts of iin- pmity from the blood, which is then thrown out bountifully by ’he urinary or water passage, aid which could not have been discharged in any other way. The fourth is a Cathartic, and accompanies the other properties o! the Pills while engaged in purifying the blood ; the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by the other outlets, are thus taken up and From tho above, it is shown that Dr. Mo'se’s Indian Root Pills not. only enter the stomach, but become united with the blood, for they find their wcj to every pai t, and complete- ly rout-and release the system from all impmlH', and tho life of the body, which is the blooo, becomes porfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain is driven from the system, for thev cannot remain when the body becomes so pure and clear. 'Phe reason why people are so distressed when sick, and why so many die, is because they do not get a medicine which will pass to the afflicted parts, and which will open the natural passage for the disease to be cast out; hence, a large quantity of food and other matter is lodged, and the stomach and intestines are literally overflowing with the corrupted mass ; thus undergoing disagreeable fermentation, constantly mixing with tlie blood, which throws the corrupted matter through every vein and artery, until life is taken from the body l»V disease. Dr. Morse’s PILLS have added to themselves victory upon victory, by restoring millions of the sick to blooming health and hap- piness. Yes, thousands who have been racked or tormented with sickness, pain and anguish, and whose feeble frames have been scorched by the burning elements of fever, and who have been brought, as it were, within a stepoi he silent grave, now stand ready lo testify that they would have been numbered with thedei'd, had it not been for this great and wonderful medicine, Morse’s Indian Root Pills. After one or two doses had been taken, they were as tonished, and absolutely surprised, in witnessing their charming effects. Not only do they ffive immediate ease and strength, and take away all sickness, pain and anguish, but they at once go to woik at the foundation of the disease, which is the blood. Therefoie, it will be shown, especially by those who use there Pills, that ihev will so dense and purify, that diseaseâ€" '.hat deadly enemyâ€"will take its flight, and the flush of youth and beauty will again return, and ihe prospect of a long and happy life will cherit.li and brighten your days.

PIERSON, CoittiESPONDl.NG ELiITOK. The object of Ihe Woman’s Advocate is the opening out of new spheres of employment fer women who have so long suffered the distrese attendant upon th* iusuilicient ienumeration, and a too limited number of occupations. T he paper endeavors to collect all informa- tion that can be important to women, relative to occupations better suited to them, and which will yield a more comfortable .subsistence than tho few unhealthy trades upon which they have been so far obliged to depend for exis- tence. The Advocate employs, in the various de- partments of the business, many women, who are paid for their labor as high prices as are paid lo men for the same amount of work. To the ed tor and proprietor the past thiee years in which she has been • engaged in this work, have been years of anxiety and toil; hut the enierprize has been carried on with ihe hope of doing good to others, and final v pushing the business lo a successful point, when it may re* numerate all concerned. With this hope she enters the field for another year, trusting to the many assurances of fiiends >11 all parts of the country, for aid and co-operation. tehms of subscription t For One Copy, one year............ ...00 For Five Copies,.......................... 8 00 For Ten Copies..............................15 00 to postmasters. • Postmasters throng out the coun’ry are re>^_^ quested to act as agents, and deduc/ the -ds'usi commission.
