THE CHILD’S FAITH. A TRUE STOHV. BY MRS. MARY ARTHUR. It was a cold evening, and there was but Ittle fire in Mrs. Hoffman's stove; so little , Frantz sat close by it; and though tis thoughts were far away, yet a slight feeling of discomfort, from the dullness, mingled with his fancies. His mother’s wheel kept on—as it always j did in the winter’s long evenings—with a low humming sound, that had til! now been very cheerful and pleasant to little Frantz; but, somehow, he forgot-to notice it this Poor Franzt! —he scarcely looked like him self, for his head was bent down, and his ! eyes seemed to be looking straight through i the floor, so fixed and intent did his gaze j eecin. Often and often did the mother’s eye turn to her little boy, for never before had the joy-speaking eye of Frantz been so long bent to the earth ; but still the mother said j no word, till at last a deep sigh came from j the parted lips of Frantz; then his mother j laid her hand softly upon his ; yet even that i gentle touch started l’rantz, so lost was he j in thought; and when he quickly lifted his | face, and saw the questioning look ot his j mother, his pent-up thoughts burst out at once. “Oh,mother! in a week it will he Christinas j day; can I not have a Christmas-tree i ‘The mother’s face looked sad, hut only for j a moment; she knew that the earnest wish j of little Frantz was not likely to be realized ; j but she knew, too, that it was best for her j bov to learn to bear cheerfully any crossing : of his desires which must be ; and she spoke j more soothingly and gently than usual, as j she said —- ; “And what makes my little Frantz set his j hearten that now? lie has never had a | Christmas-tree before!’’ “Oh, that is it,” exclaimed Frantz; “Ii never had one. Ever since 1 was a baby, j mother. 1 have beard of the good Christ- j child, who brings beautiful gifts to others. — j Why does he not bring them to me I Arn I j worse than all the rest, mother ?” “No—no, Frantz;” so spoke the mother, j hastily—for in her heart arose a picture of I ♦lie gentleness, the self-denying fortitude of j her little boy, in the midst of trouble; his j patience in sickness, his industry in health, j his anxious care to help her in all that his , little hands could do. “No—no! my Frantz ! —it is not that.” i “Well, mother —but is there any reason ? Oli! you do not know how I have dreamed and dreamed of a beautiful tree that 1 should have this Christmas! It was full of golden fruit and lighted tapers, and under it were laid gifts for you, dear mother; anew Bible, with large print; and a purse of money ; so that you might not have to work so hard, dear mother ; and warm clothes, that would never let you get cold. And Oh ! as 1 came along the street to-day, and saw the windows j shining with their loads of beautiful toys, j and gifts of all sorts, and saw the boys and j girls running and shouting, and tolling how j they would not care for any thing else, when the" Christmas-day was once come, and they ! would have their loaded tree—then, mother, j all the dreams I have had, since I can first! remember, came back : all you have told me | of the good Christ-child and of his love for j children; and I half felt, mother, as if I was j left out, and not loved among the rest.” “Dear Frantz,” said the mother, “it was a | pad— sa d thought. Do not let it come into ! your heart again. Oh! the Christ-child is j always good—altogether loving, even when ; his love is shown in such ways that we do | not clearly see it at once. Come closer to me, j Frantz.” | Frantz saw in his mother’s face a look of j such deep tenderness, that his soul grew full, j He took his own little seat, and sat close be- j side her, and leaned hia head against her | kr.ee, and the mother said, gently— “ The Christ-child has given you beautiful gifts, my Frantz; he has given you life, and j a warm, earnest heart; he has given you a j mother, who loves you so dearly ; a home to 1 shelter you ; he gives us the light of day, and i all the glorious things it reveals, and the still- j or beauty of the night; and he gives us, more than all, a hope of heaven, and a knowledge of the path to it. Are not these great gifts, Frantz {” Frantz lifted his face ; he did not speak, but his eyes were full of tears, and his mother knew that his heart said— “ Yes.” So she went on *. “These arc the gifts we most need to make us happv; others may be good for us, but the Christ-child knows better than wo do what we need. If it were good for us, ho would give us all we wish for; hut then we might not make a good use of his gilts, or we might grow proud of them, or be so wrapped ; Tip in the gifts as to forget the Giver.— Ah! my Frantz, let us only ask for what is j best for us to have, and he will give it; he j loves to give, and onlv refuses what will hurt ; us.” Again little Frantz had bent his head on j his hand, but nowit was not sadness, only! thought, that was in his face ; and he asked— j “How can we know what is best—what to ask for V* “If it is not given, think that it is Host with- J held,and be patient; if it is given, be thank- j ful, and use the gift aright. See, Frantz !” | And the mother arose, and took from a | closet ?. small sum of money. “This,” she continued, “is all I have; if any of this is spent for toys or play. I shall j not have any to buy shoes for you nor for me, j and by this I know the Christ-child deems it j best for me to be content with what is most j necessary, and to give up the pleasure of’ buying you beautiful golden fruit and colored 1 tapers.” “Could I not do without shoes 1” asked ; Frantz. “I would go so many errand* for the old cobbler, that he would mend my old ones; ■ and oh ! if that would make it right—” “And/- —should l do without shoes?” ask- > edthe mother. Frantz looked down nt. the worn-out shoes she had on, and again his Wart was full. j “Oh! no, mother; you have shoes. ‘ But Oh ! how happy the boys most lie whose I mothers have shoes, and can give them Christ- I mas-trees, too!” Long did Frantz lie awake that night and j ponder over all his mother had said, and ?t last a thought sprang into his mind. It was! not wrong to a.sh the Christ-child for what we wish, if we will only patiently bear the ; withholding. He would ask for the tree. But how? His mother had told him the Christ child was ready to answer, and always near. Franzt would write his heart’s wish in a letter, j and direct it “To the Christ-child.” And early in the fair morning, Frantz wrote : the letter, and when he met his mother, his j face was once more the gay, bright face of | old; for in his pocket was the paper which ; seemed to him a warrant of coming joy, and in his heart was a feeling very like certainty j that his wish would be granted: yet he did not. speak of it. It was his first, his glad, darling secret, and it should be a great sur prise to bis mother. So be only looked joy j iul and kissed her, and she laid her hand <m : his head, and said, how glad she was to see her boy so patient and cheerful once more. Frantz did many little acts of kindness and industry that day, for in his heart was afoun tain of hope and love ; and he wished to help every one. But, lively as he was, he did not forget to drop his precious letter iti the post .office. When the post master came to look over the letters, of course he was much surprised at this one of Frantz, with so strange a direc tion ; hut in a moment he saw that it was in a child's hand, and he opened the letter. It ran thus: { ‘ Good Christ-child: “I am a poor little hoy, hut I have a ’ good mother, who has taught me many things about you; and she lias said that you are kind and good, and love little children, and | delight to give them gifts, so that they are not : hurtful ones. Now, my mother is kind too, and would like to give me all I want, but she ■ is poor, and when I asked her for a Christmas tree, she could not give me one, because she had only money enough to buy shoes for us; | so I ask you, who are kind and rich, to give me one. I hope lam not a bad boy—l am | sure my mother does not think I am; and if I it is best for mo not to have the tree, I will try to be patient, and bear it as a good boy ! should; but I don’t see what hurt a large ! Bible, or warm clothes, could do to my moth | or; so, if I may not have the tree. Oh ! please ! give her those, and I shall be so happy. “ Frantz Hoffman.” Pleased with the simple, childish innocence | of the letter, the post master put it in his pock ’ of. When he went home, he found a rich j lady there, mho had come to take tea with his I wife; and at table, when all were assem bled, he drew forth the letter of little Frantz, ; and read it aloud, telling how it had come in to his hands, and saying how the poor little i fellow would wonder at never getting his tree, ! nor ever hearing of his letter again. ! “But ho may hear of it again,” said the I rich lady, who had listened carefully to every ; word. “There is so much goodness of heart : in the poor boy’s love to his mother, that it | well deserves to be rewarded. He may hear ! of it again.” j So the lad v remembered the name of the ‘hoy; indeed, she asked the man to give her | the letter, which he did, and by its aid she ’ sought and found out where I’ rantz lived.— ! From some of the neighbors she heard how i poor they were, and how little Frantz helped his mother all day cheerfully, and was the best boy in all the neighborhood, and that Mrs. Hoffman had not now even money to buy shoes, for that her landlord had raised her rent, and she had to give the little sum laid aside to him. And the.lady thought, to herself that it would not Vic likely to spoil so good a boy, by a beautiful tree; so she had one brought to her house, large and full of leaves it was, and she bought all kinds of ; beautiful and useful things to hang on it, and 1 little rose colored tapers, to be placed among | the branches, and on the table, under the tree, j were laid two pairs of shoes, one pair lor the ! mother and one pair for Frantz, and a pair of ; thick blankets and a largo shawl, and a purse | of money, (for the lady know that poor Mrs. j Hoffman must have many wants of which she > could not know, and she wanted her to sup ! ply them by means of the purse,) and best of i all, there was a large Bible. If Frantz’s dream had suddenly turned into reality, it could not have been more beau | tiful. vSo day after day went on, and though ! Frantz knew not the fate of his letter, he | never doubted that all would go well. It j was pleasant to see the sunshiny face with : which he greeted every morning, as ! “one day nearer Christmas.” And when at 1 last Christinas morning came, bright and | clear, there was a leaping, bounding heart in | his bosom, and a light in his blue eyes that made his mother smile, though sho scarcely I knew where their next meal was to come : from. The wheel kept on its whirring, and | Frantz sat with his eyes fixed on the blue sk v, i as if he almost thought his expected tree | would drop down from it. Suddenly a low knock was heard at the low door, and a voice asked — “Is little Frantz Hoffman here?” Frantz almost flew to the door. “I am Frantz!” he said. And the little maiden, who had asked for him, told him to come with her,and his moth er must come too. Soon, very soon was the little party ready, and the maiden led them along gaily to a handsome house, whose door sho pushed open, and they entered in. How lightly trod Frantz along the wide passage, for his heart whispered aloud to him! At the end stood a door, just ajar, and as the ! girl pushed it open, a blaze of light streamed out. Frantz caught his mother’s hand and ! drew her forward, exclaiming, j “It is mv tree—my tree ! I knew so well . it would be ready !” ; And sure enough there stood the shining i tree, all bright with lighted tapers, and laden with sparkling fruit, and on high was an im ] ago of the beautiful Christ-child, holding out his hand and smiling so lovingly, and below i was written, I “FOR FRANTZ, BECAUSE HE LOVED HIS MOTHER,” Washington, I). C. 1 A Very Smart Boy. We have very smart boys in this town, one in particular, who was called up the other day by the pedagogue to give some account for his absence, and to give evidence, if possible, of progress in bis studies. *• Where were you yesterday, you rascal?” “ l was out in the field alone.” “ What were you doing in the field, sir— ! picking berries?” • “ No, sir, I was out alone by myself.” “ Well, what were you doing ?” ! “ I was meditating.” “ Meditating, you rascal, upon what?” “ I was meditating what I’d lie when I got to be growed up—printer, doctor, lawver, or j schoolmaster—and took the field for it.” ( “ Brave boy !

CO” One of our subscribers, says the Rhode Island Republican, who happened to be in Newport last summer, got down into the bar room at a very early hour, when there was nobody but a boy in attendance, and lo! who should come in first but a tail, well-dress ed Quaker gentleman, who had been attrac ted thither by the “yearly conference.” — The friend looked about for a moment, and then turning to the boy, inquired : “ Boy, does thee ever make any lemonade !” “Certainly, sir—a great deal every day.” “ Well, make me a glass. Take that lar gest sized tumbler.” Boy mixes ingredients, and pours in water about half full. “Stop—leave a vacancy. Has thee any old French brandy ?” “ Yes, sir.” “ Well, pour till I tell thee to stop.” The boy acted accordingly. “Stop!”exclaimed the Quaker, in due time; “ has thee any good Jamaica rum ?” “ No, sir.”” “ Anv Santa Cruz?” “ Yes.” “ Well, pour till I tell thee to stop.” It was done, and the hoy mixed the con tents of the tumbler, which was brimfull, in the usual mode: our Quaker friend raised it to his lips, and poured down in a oontinuous stream the whole “ arrangement,” without the interruption of a breath. Then, with a look of satisfaction to the inner man, which on such occasions is seen, but not described, he set down his glass, and inquired what was the pay. He paid, and turned to go away, but stopped as if he had forgotten something, just as he reached the door, and casting an eye to the fountain of refreshments where he had imbibed the exhilarating beverage, he ex claimed— “ Lad, llieo’s a very small boy: but thee does make a gr-gr-greal lemonade!'’ 03“ An Irishman, by way of illustrating the horrors of solitary confinement, stated, that out of one hundred persons sentenced to endure this punishment for life, in an Ameri can prison, only fifteen survived it. 03” Modesty doubles the beauties which are soon, and gives credit and esteem to all that are concealed. 03“ Dickens says, removing old people is like removing old trees—they never seem to take to the new soil. 03“A wife has her husband’s fortunes in her power, because she may, or may not, as she pleases, conform to his circumstances. 03“ Many are great, because their associ ates are small. 03“ It is hard to form a true estimate of a man’s happiness; because happiness depends most upon those things which lie most out of sight. 03“ We should like to have the handling of that calumniator, who said the ladies are the very reverse of their mirrors, the latter re flecting without talking, the former talking without reflecting. 03“ Santa Anna, it is said, has built a mag nificent country residence near Carthagena, where lie will hereafter reside. 03“ The London Times says, the En gffsh Government is now supporting the descend ants of Arnold out of the public funds. 03“ Life is short, and they mistake its aims and lose its best enjoyment, who depend for happiness on outward things, and not on the i state of the heart. 03“ To excel others is a proof of talent, but to conceal that superiority is a greater proof of prudence. 03“ It is stated that an editor down F.ast got his pocket full of money, and was afraid to go bv the Museum, lost they should catch him for a curiosity. 03“ A Kentucky editor, strongly opposed to camp meetings, says lie has no notion of “ camping out on his road to heaven.” 03“ A man was recently hanged in a neighboring State, who confessed under the gallows that his first commencement in crime J and villainy was that of stopping a newspa i per without paying for it. j 03” A pious African at Louisville stum | bled while walking one very dark night, and j was pitched head foremost down a cellar, ; which afforded him an “open entrance.” | Springing to his feet, he exclaimed, “ Bress jde Lord dat I lit on my head! If dis nigga had scraped his shins so hard, I spec ho broke his leg.” 03” “ More trouble coming,” said Mrs. j Partington, laving down the paper; “ there !i3 the State of Affairs—l suppose it’ll soon be i applying for admission into the Union,” and : the old lady resumed her darning with a look of patriotic anxiety. O’ Good spirits are often taken for good nature, yet nothing differs so much ; insensi bility being generally the source of the for mer, and sensibility of the latter. O’ A gentleman, not long since, wishing to “ pop the question,” did it in the following singular manner: Taking up the young la dy’s cat, he said—“ Pussy, may I have your mistress?” It was immediately answered by the young j lady, who said—“ Say yes, pussy !’’ U* An exchange paper gives an account i ofa woman who is so.large around the waist that her husband can’t hug her all at once, but when he takes one hug he makes a chalk mark, so as to know where to commence the next time, and thus goes round. J 7 A husband, as willing to bo pleased at home, and as anxious io please as in his neighbor’s house, and a wife as intent on making things comfortable every day to her family, as on set days to her guests, could not fail to make their own home happy. U* Have nothing to do with those good natured friends who make a practice of let* ting you know all the evil which they may hear spoken about you. These people take especial care to let you hear nothing of the good, if there is any going.

In introducing this medicine to the people of the Unit ed States, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit the following statement of Dr. de Graffenried, its discov erer and inventor: The undersigned frankly state? that hc has prcscrilxxi this medicine for the last twenty-two years, in all iorms of Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, with a uceess un paralleled in the annals of medicine : and he has no hes itation in saying., that it is decidedlv the most valuable remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most pain ful and distressing malady. His note-book contains upwards of three hundred ca ses, in which it has been used within the above named period.and in no single instance has it come to his knowl edge, of its having failed to effect a cure when persereved in. Many of the cases were from four to ten years stand ing ; and what may appear yet more remarkable and ex traordinary, is. that when tho patient ha* been once re lieved, tho disease iapermanenily cured, remains so, not : a solitary instance having been reported to him ofitsre j turn. All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impar tial and patient trial, for tho rcoiilts ho entertains no ap prehension. Up to th* time ot this discovery, the undersigned had well studied the origin, progress, and character of this dis ease.and is well assured, had consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or been translated into tlie English language, and had used ail the remedies of any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu manity. It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent \ Physicians and Surgeons ol our own, and of every oilier country. But the undersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all oth ers have failed, and that he shall have been an humble in strument in the hands of God, of relieving the human fanrilv ofa vast amount of suffering.

Dear Sir—About the first of April last, I came to Co lumbus to get medical assistance, and was advised to call on you, as having a remedy that would afford mo speedy relief. I was taken down in January last, with a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints so badly, that I could not pull of my shoos without aid ; nor could 1 ascend or descend steps, or pull off” my clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand were nearly useless ; the fingers contracted and swollen; tho right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not bend it but very little. Up to the lt of April, I was all ’ the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your Rheu matic Liniment my limbs three times, and was the next morning enabled to descend a long fight of steps, with out aid of crutch orstick, and back to my room —I could also bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which 1 the previous dav, I could not have done if my life had de pended on it. 1 could also use, open and bend my fing ers, wich was an imbossibility the day before. I rose in the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheu matic Liniment, and in ten-days, I was relieved. I would not have been in the condition which 1 had been, ton days before I called on you, for any amout of money which could be given me ; for what is life worth when in constant pnin.and misery ! I consider your Rheumat ic Liniment, the most valuable medicine in the world. I am, dear sir, your friend. J. IT. SMITH. Columbus, Nov. 1, 1319.

V These Bitters are worthy ttie attention of invalids. — Possessing great virtues in the rectification of diseases of the Liver and lessor glands, exorcising the most search ing powers in weakness and affections of the digestive organs, they arc, withal,safe, certain and pleasant. Read and he Convinced. ('has. Robinson. Esq., Easton, Me!.,in a letter to Dr. Jackson, Jan. 9, 1559, said— “My wife and myself have received more, benfit from your medicine than any ether we have ever taken for the Dysjtepxia and Liver disease “The Tenth Legion,” published at Woodstock, Ya., January 10,1350, said— “A Great. Medicine.” “We have uniformly refrained from recommending to the public any of tho various patent medicines of the day, unless thoroughly convinced of their value. — Among those we consider worthy of notice is the German Bittf.us, invented by Dr. Iloofland, and prepared by I)r. .Jackson, in Philadelphia. One in stance in particular, in which the superior virtues of this medicine have been tested, has fallen under our observation. During the last summer, a son of Mr. Abraham Crabill, of this county, was very se riously afflicted with Liver Complaint, and after trying in vain various remedies, he purchased a bottle of the Bitters, and after using it, was so much relieved of his distressing malady, that he procured another bot tle, and is restored entirely to health.” Read Further a Fete Facts. The “Philadelphia Democrat,’’ the lending Ger man journal of Philadelphia. The editor said, No vember 24th : “We again call attention to the removal of the German Medicine Store, the principal depot for the sale of Dr. Tlootland’s German Bitters, froir. 278 Race to 120 Arch street, one door below Sixth.— Owing to the increased demand for this medicine, and for the accommodation of his numerous patients, i Dr. Jackson has been compelled to occupy a larger store. We wish him success in his new quarters; lie is deserving it ‘The Bitters Mixture is without doubt the greatest medicine extant for diseases of the Liver and Bowels. A stubborn case of Chronic Diarrhoea has coma under our notice, wherein the patient had exhausted the Materia Medicas of the different schools of medicine with no apparent benefit. He was induced to use these bitters, and a few bottles of them have entirely cured him. Many such eases iwe could refer to. AYe hope our readers will recol lect this great restorative, should they be so unfortu j nate as to require its use. Dr. Jackson possesses the I original unpublished receipt of Dr. Iloofland, and lie prepares this medicine with care. Those pur chasing should call at his store, or see that his name is written upon the wrapper outside, and blown in the bottle, as imitations of good articles are common.” Judge M. M. Noah, a gentleman with great sci entific and literary attainments, said in liis “New York Weekly Messenger,” January 0, 1850: u Dr. Iloofland's German Bitters. —Here is a pre paration which the loading presses in the Union ap j pear to be unanimous in reeomending, and the rea j son is obvious. It is made after a prescription furnished j by one of the most celebrated physicians of modern times, th* late Dr. Christopher Wilhelm Iloofland. Professor to the University of Jena, Private Physician to the Kingof Prussia, and one es the greatest medi cal writers Germany has ever produced. He was emphatically the enemy of humbug, and therefore a medicine of which he was the inventor and endorser may be perfectly relied on. He specially recommend ed it in Liver Complaint,Dyspepsia, Debility, Vertigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all com plaints arising from a disordered condition of the | stomach, the liver and the intestines. Nine Phila ] delphia papers express their conviction of its exccl j lento, and several of the editors speak of its effects i from their own individual experience. Under these | circumstances, we feel warranted not only in calling I the attention of our readers to the present proprietor's i (Dr. C. M. Jackson’s) preparation, but in recom mending the article to all afflicted.” More Evidence. The “Philadelphia Saturday Gazette,” the best family newspaper published in the United States, the editor says of | DR. IIOOFLAND’S GERMAN BITTERS “ It is seldom that we recommend whSt are termed Patent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of j our readers ; and, therefore, when we recommend Dr. j Hooflaud's German Bitters, we wish it to be distinet | ly understood that we are not speaking of the nos j trains of the day that are noised about for a brief period and then forgotten after they have done their guiiitv race of mischief, but of a medicine long established, universally prized, and which lias met the hcaity ap-- proval of the Faculty itself.” Evidence upon evidence has been received (like the foregoing) from all sections of the Union, the last three years, and the strongest testimony in its favor is, that there is more of it used in the practice of the regular Physicians of Philadelphia than all other nos trums combined, a .fact that can easily be established, and fully proving that a scientific preparation will meet with their quiet approval when presented even in this form. . That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt, after using it as direct ed. It acts specifically upon the stomach and liver— it is preferable to calomel in all bilious diseases —the effect is immediate. They can be administered to female or infant with safety and reliable benefit, &t J any time. J Beware of Counterfeits, I This medicine has attained that high ebaraetelH which is necessary for all medicines to attain to iufl duee counterfeiters to put forth a spurious article tH the risk of the lives of tho who are innocvisjl’- ceived. Lool ■well to the Marla of the Genuij jH They have the written of C, W J SON upon the wrapper, and the name blown in the bottle, icilhout which they are spurious.
