Thomas Brunton , Landlord of the Waterloo Tavern , Coatham , Yorkshire , late of flw Life . Guards , dated September 28 th , 1848 . Sm , —For a long time Iwas a martyr to Uhpumatism and Rheumatic Gout , and for ten weeks previous to using your medicines I was so bad as not to be able to walk . I had tried doctoring and . medicines of every kind , but all to no avail , indeed I daily got worse , and felt that I must shortly die . From seeing your remedies advertised in the paper I take in , I thought I would give them a trial . I did so . I rubbed the ointment in as directed , ' and kept cabbage leaves to the parts thickly spread with it , and took the l'ills night and morning , in three weeks I was enabled to walk about for an hour or two in the day with a stick , and in seven weeks I could go anywhere without one . I am now , by the blessing of God and your medicines , quite well ,

The Pabiotjh Lhjhaby . Tales and Sketches . By Hodolh Toppfek . London : Simms aiid M'lntyre , 13 , Paternoster-row . Though containing nothing very profonnd or Startling , this is a right pleasant Yolume , andean hardly fail to afford entertainment and satisfaction to the numerous patrons of the Parlour TJbrary . From one of these * 'tales" or " sketches "—which , ever it may "be—entitled , "The Lake of Gfers , " we give the following extracts : —
CCSTOX-HOT 33 E OSTICEHS . - Gustom-house officers are men who wear a nnifotni , sport very dirty hands , and are never without a pipe in their months . Seated hi the sun , they lounge idly until a carriage happens to pass , which carriage only passes before them for the precise reason that it contains not a trace of anything contraband . . - " Monsieur has nothingto declare 1 " «« Xo . " . And immediately behold them , notwithstanding { his categorical reply , opening the valises and « 1 « n » m » + lm « i £ nt * Acnif 1 Yianria *> TTl 1 ffaf . + n # * STlftWV
Ellens , the silk dresses , and the perfumed pockethandkerchiefs . The state pays them for exercising this profession . That has always appeared to me ratherodd . The smugglers are men armed to the teeth , and ever disposed to drive a ball through any customhouse officer who should take a fancy to display his person on the road they have reserved for themselves . Fortunately the custom-house officers , who never dream of such a thing , do not display then persons at all , or else display them somewhere else . That has always appeared to me a great sign of tact in the enstom-honse officer ? .
I have frequently had transactions with the custom-house officers . My shirts have had the honour to be fingered on all the frontiers hy the agents of all the governments , absolute or otheiwise . They never found anvthing prohibited in them . Apropos ef shirts , hero is « a story . I was going to Lyons . At Bellegnrde , they rummaged our trunks , and wished also to examine our persons for fear of "watches , &c , for Geneva is not far off . I submitted with a "ocd grace to this operation ; but an English Officer , " -who was one of the party , having teen made aware ef what was wanted with him , quietly drew out his knife from his pocket and declared that he would cut hi two "la premier , commc ausei la second" ( the first and also the second ) who should
attempt to search him , even at a distance . There was a grand rumpus . The custom-house Officers . isfced no tetter than to carry the regulation into effect ; but the tall hero of Waterloo , with his fcladc of polished steel , cowed them completely . In the rjcau time the commandant kept repeating in an authoritative voice : " Search that man ! " but the other repeated on his side , with increasing fnry ; Irene ! ct ic coupe en deux la premier , commc anssi la seco . id , ~ ( l encore Ja troisiemc avec ! " —{ Come on ! and Til cut in two the first man that comes near me , ami the second and the third into the bargain !) Uv this tldrd , he meant to designate the chief . The affair might have ended in a tragic manner , SO great was the exasperation of the worthy
gentleman , when 1 thought it right to interfere . - " If you , sir , " said I , " will hand your clothes to the officer * , they can execute their orders without jour duniit-v suffering in the least . " Scarcely ' had I spoken , when the Englishman , acquicseing in these conditions , began to strip off Ms clothes in the greatest haste , throwing them , one hy one , in the faces of the officers . lie left lumself as naked as my hand ; and I shall never forget the air with which he clapped his shu-t on the ° commandant ' s head , exclaiming— " Tine ! » iw « - rable - ' tene . ' "' ( There , you scoundrel—take that I ) -1 have less frequently had transactions with the Smu ^ l era ; nevertheless , I 'had eomo connexion irith them , one dav when I thought fit to proceed
from Sixt to Sallenche , by the mountain pass of TS-hich 1 have spoken . * * On turning round I saw towering close by me ihe icy peak of Mount Buet—Ifaneied I saw also , not very far off , something moving behind the last clump of willows I had passed . ¦ 1 began to imagine that th : * might he the feet belonging to the head that I had seen previously , insomuch that I continued my march - « rith increasing circumspection . Unfortunately I am by nature extremely timid ; I detest danger , in which it is said heroes delight ; I love nothing so much as perfect security hi my van , in my rear , and on either flank . * * - I ended by concealing mvself amongst the rocks ,

He . gazed a long tune in the direction of the rocks , amongst which I was concealed ; then he clapped his hands twiee . At this signaltwo other men appeared , and all -three—each hoisting a fceaw sack on his shoulders—commenced tranquilly to ascend the path , puffing away at their pipes , which they iad lighted . In this . manner they soon arrived opposite the place where I was watching eronchbiirdoWn against the earth ; and ^ there they seated tficmselves pa their sacks . Fortunately thev turned their backs towards me . .

' I can see him no longer , " said he . " 2 fo . matter , " said the other , "the scoundrel means to sell us ! " . "And I would wager , " interrupted the third "that it is for that purpose he keeps trottin g on hi advance of us . A custom-house officer la disguise I tell you . He stopped , as if to snuff around himhe looked here and there , and everywhere . " "Ah ! why can we not despatch him in this little propitious and solitary nook , where no one woulc be a whit the wiser ! The dead never return !" "And therefore Jean-Jean never returned " resumed the second who had snoken . " ThpV » i « ;;^ see aolpnger , ' > idhe . /
precisely the hole , at the foot of that slope there where his carcase perished . The cunning rascal when we took him , fiad just thrown away ' his car ' £ 3 f , 2 ? VW 2 l velum 3 elf the ™ of a private nidividual His business was soon finished . Scarcely had we laid hold of him , than Lameche tied him to a tree , and Pierre sent a ball through his temples . It was only afterwards that the droll rascal said to him , Come , Jean-Jean , say your prayers ! ' " A fngntful laugh followed these dreadful words , which continued until the same man , having given the signal for departure : " Parbleu ! " exclaimed he , on perceiving me , we have found the magpie in his nest . Here is our amateur !"
The two others , at these words , started up hastily ; and I saw , or thought 13 aw , an innumerable multitude of pistols levelled at my forehead . " Gentlemen , " said I , " gentlemen—I—you mistake—permit me—but first lower those weaponsgentlemen , I am the honestest fellow in the world—( they knit then ' brows)—lower your weapons , I beg of you , which might go off without your wishing it —I am a man of letters—an entire'stranger to custom-houses—married—the father of a
familylower , I conjure you , your weapons , which hinder me from collecting my ideas . Deign to proceed on your way without making yourselves uneasy about me—I laugh at custom-houses . I even take an interest in your toilsome profession . You are honest fellows , who are the bearers of abundance to the victims of an odious fiscal regime . I have the honour , gentlemen , to salute you respectfully . " " You are here to play ihe spy on us ! " replied the most ill-looking of the three , in the tono of a Cartouche . ' ' -
" Sot at all ;—not at all 1—I am here for "" For the purpose of observing us , and selling us . Oh , we know you ! "We saw you down yonderspying—looking ""Atthe lovelylandseape , _ my worthy gentlemen —nothing more . " " The fine landscape ? And this nook in which you had stuck yourself—tell me , was it for the purpose of gathering simples you were there ? A bad trade-that of yours . These mountains belong to us . Woe to him who comes to spy about them Offer up your prayers . " - - He raised his pistol . I fell to the earth . The two others approached rather than interfered , and all three exchanged a few words in a low .-voice after which , one of them placing his burden without ceremony on my shoulders : — " I ' m 7 " cried he .
It was thus that If ound myself forming part of a smuggling expedition . It was for the first tune in my life , and I have ever , since taken particular care ihatitsbQuldbethelasfcl . ' -..- ¦ It appeared that my fate had been decided hi this secret council ; for the men took no further notice of me . They marched on in silence , carrying in turns the two remaining burdens . I attempted , however , to return to the demonstration of my innocence ; but their experienced eye pleaded more powerfully in favour of the truth of my statement than all my assertions . The only thing they could not explain was , why I had advanced with so much circumspection , and looked arouud when I must
have thought I was-alone . I furnished them with a solution of this mystery , by confessing to the apparition which had struck me when I was gazing in the pool of water . "So matter , " said the ill-looking one ; " innocent or not . you might sell us;—march ! Tfe _ shall be at the forest just now , and then we will settle your afiair . " The reader may judge of the sinister meaning which I attached to these words . Therefore , during the half-hour ' s walk which led us to the neighbouring forest , I had time to form ajust idea of the sensations felt by a criminal who is conducted to the scaffold . They are , I can assure him deserving of his utmost pity . I had still in my favour , in the
first place , my innocence ; and secondly , the chance of meeting some one on the road ; without reckoning the resource which was presented to me of dashing ourselves , myself and my burden , into a most commodious abyss which yawned on our right . The first of these chances did not present itself ; I had no taste for the second ; so that we arrived without adventure at the forest . ' There these gentlemen relieved me of my burden , tied me securely to a huge larch , and—and , in place of driving a ball through me as thev had done to Jean-Jean : — ' ¦ " yfe require , " said they , " twenty-four hours of security . Consider yourself well off . Keep up your heart . * To-morrow , as we return , we will untie you , and gratitude will render you discreet . " After which thev resumed their burdens and left
me . How the victim-was released , the reader will ascertain by turning to the volume , Avhich . we very cordially recommend to our ! readers .

Sir Jasper Baldwin was a tall , dark man , of a stony and severe trait of countenance , which no smile ever relieved- ^ cdfpulent as an alderman , and as bilious in complexion as he was in constitution . He was about forty-five years old ,. twenty-two of which had been spentin various of our WeBfc Indian islands , where from ^ eingan Overseer to a plantation he had risen to his present dignity , and to th » official station of Governor of oneof the Windward Islands , to which office he was but recently appointed , and was about sailing with the next man-of-war bound to that station , to take possession of his new dignity . During his short residence in London he had called on Joseph North , with whom he had dealings in his days of subordination , and was immediately
smitten with the charms of the ex-citizen ' s daughter . With the promptness of a West Indian—in all that relates to dealings in human flesh—he offered himself to her parents as their future son-in-law , and the offering was too flattering to meet with other than their cordial . approval : Julia's consent was to him a matter of second-rate importance . Proud of his newly-acquired title / and station , and backed by her parents' approval , he dreamt not of a refusal from the mild and amiable girl of his choice . Scarce could he credit his senses when , on making the application in as formal terms as though he were addressing the council over , whoso deliberation she was about to preside , he met with a firm and resolute negative to the honour he intended
to convey on her . In'vain did her parents exert their influence . Docile in all else , reason told her that implicit obedience was no longer a virtue ; that no imperious necessity demanded a sacrifice wluch would result in misery to her , ' and procure no advantage to those she loved , but a momentary gratification of their pride ,, and then a separationperhaps for ever . Mr . and Mrs .. North , unable to overcome the firmness of Julia , as a last resource , applied to her brother , whom she greatly loved , and yet stood greatly in awe of . The result was the invitation to Liverpool disclosed in our last chapter , and the Lapse of a week saw Julia the inmate of her brother s mansion . Poor maiden ! gladly had she accepted the invitation ) thinking to escapefrom
the unwelcome addresses of Sir Jasper .- What ;' then , was her surprise , on the second ; morning of her visit , to see Sir Jasper enter the drawing-room , and , with her brotherV approbation , ' resume . his odious suit . " Day after day passed , and no entreaties or tears could induce her brother , to ™ give hoi * any respite from Sir Jasper ' s wearisome presence . Sho haefno female , or other acquaintance in Liverpool , to whom she could fly for a refuge from , her persecutors , and her heart sunk within her at the treachery of the brother she had ; so loved . '; Walter North , finding that the tima'had nearly expired when the vessel in which Sir Ja 3 per was to embark was about to sail , and . that . Sir ?

shortly before the sailing of the vessel , and Sir Jasper ; well heated with wine , was by Walter admitted to Julia ' s sleeping apartments , and , in spite of her tears , prayers , and entreaties ,, she became .

^ AlBXANDEB AND TITO SCYTHIANS . —When the Scy . thuin ambassadors waited on Alexander the Great they gazed attentively upon him for a long time ' without speaking a word , boing very probably surprised , as they formed a judgment of men from their air and stature , to find that his did not answer the 4 fl ! ° , entertained of him from hia fame . At last the oldest of the ambassadors ( according to 0 Curtius ) , addressed . him thus .:. « Had the godsgiven tliee a body proportionable to thy ambition , the whole universe would have been too little for thee . Wi h one hand thou wouldst touch' the east , and with the other the west , and not satisfied with this , thou wouldst follow the sun , and know where he hides hunself . But what havo we to do with thee ?
-we neverset foot in thy country : _ may not those who inhabit woods be allowed to live without knowm ! ° , tu ' O ' t and whence thou comest ? We will neithercommand over , nor submit to any man . And that thou mayest be . sensible what kind of people the Scythians arc , know that we have received from heaven , as a rich present , a yoke of oxen , aplou » hshar £ , adart , a . javolin , and a cup : these we make use of . both with our friends and pur enoniies . To our friends we give corn , which we procure by the labour of our oxen-with them we offer wine to the Gods in our cup ; and witli regard ^ to- our . enemies , wo combat them at a distance with our arrows , and near at hand with ourjavelms . But thou . who . boasted t . hvo . ftmincrto
extirpate robbers , thou thyself art tho greatest robber upon earth .- Thou hast plunderedallthe nations thou overeamest ; thou hast possessed thyself of Lydia , invaded Syria , Persia , and Bactriana ; thou art forming a design to march , as far as India ; and now thou comest hither to . seize upon our herds of cattle . The great possessions thou hast only make thee covet more eagerly what thou hast not If thouart a God , thou oughtest to do good to mortals , and not deprive . them of their possessions . If thou art a mere man , reflect always on what thou art . They whom thou shalt not molest will be thy true friends—the strongest . friendships being contracted between equals—and they are esteemed equals who havo not tried their sbentrfch against
each other ; but do not imagine that those whom thou conquerest can love thee . " An Irishman received a challenge to fight a duel , but declined .. ; On being asked the reason , " Och , " said Pat , " would you havome leave his mother an orphan ? " ..: . .: : ; . ¦ ' . " Was George Hudson a man or a myth ? ¦ The question , " avers Tait ' s Magazine , " , will be asked a thousand years hence , when people ' talk of our railways as we speak of the pyramids . " The ex-king in a new character ! The English Cheops ' . " ^ Antiquity boasts no gems—no glowing retrospect —no resting place for the mind ' s eye to dwell upon , or the memory to cherish , save that" which is still esteemed by the human family in our own daysterling probity and virtue . ¦
. Aristocratic Amusement !—A few days ago some paviours were at work near Trinity College , Cambridge , when some students gave them bottle'after bottle of wine to drink , until one of the men became so drunk that he died . Ova Gr . 6 nious Constitution . — " A state or commonwealth , " says Milton , " is a society sufficient in itself in all things cqnducible to well-being and commodious life . " Will this definition answer to Britain as parliaments now arc ?—when all depends on a . set of men authorised by a very small minority as to numbers and property ? It is a common maxim in politics ^ that in every state there must be somewhere , an absolute , an . irresistible power over the people . But this is to be rightly understood , or
it will lead , to mistakes , In a monarchy , as France , the whole power is in the king against all other voieo ; this is proper tyranny . At Venice , it is in the nobles exclusively ; this is proper aristocracy or oligarchy .. In Holland ( excepting some errors and deviations ) the whole power is in the states , that is , or should be , the people , but ic does not descend low enough , and leaves the boiirqeoisie considerably enslaved . ; In England , the whole power is in King , Lords , and Commons . Therefore in monarchies , the people , the chief objeet , have no share of power . In oligarchies the people have as little . In republics , the people have a share of power . But-in our
mixed government the people are swallowed up in King , Lords , and Commons . To say therefore that there must bo in every country an absolute power somowhero ov&v the people , and in which they are to have no share , is making the people mere beasts of burden , instead of what they are , viz ., the original of power , / the object of government , and . last resource : Our country people therefore , to quiet our minds on this subject ; tell us , wo have a very great share in governing ourselves , as we elect our lawmakers . ... We have jseen what this amounts t « . And if any Englishman is satisfied , I can only say he is thankful for small mercies . —James Burgh ' s Political Disquisitions , 1774 .
Age of Prince Albert . —The Cluster Chronicle , in describing the recent grand doings in connexion with the Grimsby Docks , says : — " Prince Albert , after the lapse of more than a century and a half , has again honoured the ancient city of Lincoln , " < fcc . , Macreadv for President !—A stage-struck editor oiifc" West ; is advocating the nomination of Mr . Macready for the next president' of the United Sia . Us , r-fiQston ¦ Chroriotype . ' . ¦'¦ "¦ : ; . Calumny seeks to destroy secretly that which it dares not attempt to injure openly ; . instead of honest opposition 'there is cowardly hatred . Here we find that cowardice is ever the ^ companion of vice ; andhowover successfully malice may bo handled secretly , as an . instrument to further wicked designs , it . is always to . bo avoided by the virtuous . Scandal begets suspicion , and " suspicion haunts the guilty mind ! " .. . ...
MonAt Eppects op the Gaixows . —A fawn lad . at Weston-I'en , in Cambridgeshire , has lost his life in experimenting on tho sensation of hanging . ' . Despotic sway may flourish for a time , unencountered , ' unopposed ; but . as it : only attains the supremacy by trampling on one of nature ' s . primary laws—that or order , :, tHo laAv inust . be again restored to its full bearing , cither by gradual melioration or sudden ohange ! if the governed are mentally so blind tbatthey cannot percoive the evil , then nature herself restores the equilibrium unperceived , yet effectually . . The late Daniel O ' Connell ' s house and books are to be'forthwith sold to pay his debts . ' Custom is the God of ignorance ; and there will always be the greatest horror of innovation in the most : barbarous .-and uninformed minds , that is , where there is the greatest need of it . .
A Nice . Calculation . —r vc known . some very mean men in my time . There was Deacon _ Overreach ,, now , hewas so mean , he abyays carried . a hen in his gigbox when he travelled , "to pick up the oats his horse wasted in tlie martgei 1 , and lay an egg for his breakfust in the morning . And then there was Hugo Himmelman who . made . his wife dig potatoes to pay for the marriage licence . " Lawyer /! he , continued , addressing himself to Barclay , . " I must tell you that story of Hugo , for it ' s not a bad one ; arid good stories , like potatoes , ain't as plenty as they used to be when I-was a boy . ' Hugo is a neighbour of mine , though considerably older than . I be ,: and .-a' mean neighbour he is , too . ¦ Well , when he was going-to wet mavi'iQd to Gretchen Loin he goes down to
Tarson Rogers , at Digby , to get a licence . Parson ' sayshe , " what'sthe price of a licence ? " " Six dollars ! " says he . " Six ; dollars , " says Hugo ; " that ' s a dreadful sight of money ! . Couldn't you take no less ? " "No , " says he . ¦ . " That's ; what they cost me to the Secretary'a office . at Halifax . " " WeH , how , much do you . ax for publishing in church , then ?" - " Nothing , " says the Parson . "Well , " says Hugo , ' ( that ' s so cheap I can ' t expect you to give no change back . ¦ I think il'll be published .. How long 0003 it take ? " " Three Sundays . " "Three Sundays !" . " says .

Vathek ; an Arabian Tale . B y W . Beckford , Esq . London : Gr . Slater , 252 , Strand . A SECOJfD volume of Slaters Shilling Series —the first of which , devoted to Emerson ' s Essays , we recently noticed and commended to the readers of this journal . To our fancy , Vathek is a much over-rated production . It is only fair to add that au opposite judgment has heen pronounced hy no less a personage than
lord Bykoit , who has written : —" For correctness of costume , beauty of description , and power of imagination , Vathek far surpasses all European imitations . As an Eastern tale , even Rasselas must bow before it ; his Happy Valley Trill not bear comparison with the Hall ofEblis . " A brief hut interesting memoir of the rich and eccentric author precedes the stonv which , published in its present cheap form , will place it within the reach of all classes .
