There are many people in Arkansas whorememberthefollowinj; incident: During the war certain parts of Ar kansas were infested with "foot burners." These wretches cared not for the success of either armv, but wore intent upon robbery. Generally the "foot burner" lived near, or at least was well acquainted in the neighborhood where he operated, lie knew who had n, jnoy. When the "foot burners" asked a man to re veal the hiding place of his valuables and were refused, they seized the man, bound him, and proceeded to roast his feet. One day, in the northern part of this State, Judge Grimes, who was known to be wealthy, carried a heavv. sauare box- to k woll t-nn-n preacher tho Rev. Mr. Aldrich ana sam: "Brother Aldrich. T nm crninc away, and I wish you would keep jMia uu. uuui x reiurn. iui i. wane is your promise to keep it." "I'll be running risk in taking it," Mr. Aldrich replied, "but to accommo date you, I will take it and secrete it until your return." The iudj?e thanked him in1 tnnV his departure. A few weeks later a party of "foot burners" went to tho Ercacher's house and demanded the os. "I cannot give it to you," replied Aldrich. "Seize him, men." The preacher was tied and thrown on the ground. A fire was kindled and the unfortunate man's feet wero thrust into the blaze. "Now will you tell us where that box is?" "No." They threw more fuel on the Are. Finally, seeing that he would not tell, the wretches went away. For a Jens: time it was thought that the preacher would die. Both feet were burned off, and during many months he was confined to his bed. Shortly after the war closed the judge returned home. The next day after his arrival, the preacher had the bos brought from its hiding place, then, after the old man was placed in a buggy, he drove to the judge's house, and when tne judge had come out to the gate, he said: "Here is your box, sir. It nearly cost me my life, and I shall never be able to walk again, but I have kept the promise I made yon." "1 am very sorry to know that the foot-burners got a hold of you," said the judge, "but why didn't you give them the box?" "Because I knew that its contents were valuable " "Oh, no. my dear sir, the box is full of hoi e-shoe nails." Tho scoundrel had given the preacher a box full of nails, in order that the attention of the foot burners might be drawn from himself, sc that he could, with his money, leave tl ie neighborhood.

II:.. say.s: "Scon's Emulsion Is the best I have cvt r presenbt-d. It is very pale tab c, easily as-initiated and gives st cngth and fie. h to the patient." It appears that the sandy wastes in the interior of Long Island are to be utilized. The thrifty farmers of Suffolk County are experimenting in raising peanuts on this hitherto un nrofitable soil.

This purely vegetable pre paration, novr so celebrated as a Family Medicine, originated in the South in 1838. It acts gently on the Bowels and Kidneys and corrects the action of the Lirer, and is, there, fore, the best preparatory medicine, whaterer the sick ness may prove to be. In all common diseases it will, un assisted by any other medi cine, effect a speedy cure. The Regulator Is safe to administer in any condition of the system, and under no circum stances can it do barm. It will invigorate like a class of wine, but is no intoxicating bever age to lead to intemperance; will promote di gestion, dissipate headache, and Gener ally tone up the system. The dose is small, not unpleasant, and its virtues undoubted. No loss of time, no Inter ruption or stoppage of business while taking the Regulator. Children complaining of Colic, Headache, or Stick Stomach, a teaspoonful or more will give relief. If taken occasionally by pa dents exposed to MALARIA, will expel the poison and protect them from attack. A roYSICIAVa OPDilOX. I have been practicing medicine for twenty years, and have never been able to put up a vegetable compound that would, like Simmons Liver Regu lator, promptly and effectively move the Liver to action, nd at the same time aid (instead of weak ening) the digestive and assimilative powers of the system.
