Wonderful Ctirative Effects.
They are not a vile Fancy Brink, inadeot Poor I
Hum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits anti Refuse 1,1-
q u or s doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste, j
called “Tonics,” “Appetizers.” “Restorers,” Ac., that j
lead the tippler onto drunkenness audruin, hut are a true |
Medicine.niade from the Native Roots and Herbs of Call- I
fornia, free from all Alcoholic. Stimulants.
They arc the GREAT BROOD PURIFIER aud
A 1,1 PE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno
vator and Invigorstor of the System, carrying off all j
poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy con- j
dition. No person can take these Bitters according to j
directions and remain long unwell,provided their bones i
are'not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, J
and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair, j
They arc a Gentle Purgative as well as a
Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as i
a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation |
of the Liver, and ail the Visceral Organs.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in young or =
olil, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at
the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters have no equal.
For Inflammatory ami Chronic lthemua-
l ism nml Clout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil
ious, Remittent and Intermittent IFcvcrs,
Diseases of the Blood, River, Kidneys aud
Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful. !
Such Diseases are caused Ly Vitiated Blood, j
which is generally produced Ly derangement of the Di
gest ive Organs.
DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache, ;
l’ain in the Slioulders.Cough.s, Tightness of the Chest
Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks. Palpitation of the Heart,
Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain iu the regions of the
Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the
oflsprings of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid
Liver and Bowels, which render them of unequalled effi
cacy in claensins the Blood of all impurities, and impart
ing new life and vigor to the whole system.
FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions. Tetter, Sap
Rheum* Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car
buncles, Ring-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas,
Itch,Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Dis*
cases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, aie literally
dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by
the use of these Ritters. One bottle in such cases will
convince the most incredulous of their curative effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im
purities bursting through the skin in Fimplcs, Erup
tions or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish iu the veins; cleanse it when it is foul, and
your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure,
and the health of the system will follow.
Pin, Tape* and other Worms* lurking in tlia
system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed
and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there
is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth
whose body i3 exempt from the presence of worms. It
Shall bio;hers anti sillers be less
careful of ibe feelings ofi n: another,
than those ol a stranger? and as be-
iween husband andf wife, should
I there be less effort at gentleness of
: depot intent, of suavity oi manner,
j and courtesy of expression than i^
! extended to outsiders, who have no
j special claims an i may never be
seen again? Shame upon any inern-
; bar of any family who neglects those
| afi ctionaie attentions, and ihose
suavities of deportment towards the
members ol the household aud even
to the lowest servant, which cannot
fail to elevate the giver, and to draw
from the receiver those willing
ami spontaneous reciprocities which
make of family associations a little
keuva u below.
Fault-finding is an apple ofdis-
cor.l in multitudes of families.—
There are some persons who, from
ugliness of temper arising from b >< 1 i -
iy infirmity, or an inherent blight ol
nature, are torev-. r finding fault, ei
ther for something said or done, or
omitted to be said or d ate ; tl not in
the family, then out of it. Some
where or something is always going
wrong with them ; in every remark
they make there is vinegar and bit
leniess; their whole nature
times tor lhe.it. Hence. u ;ititen«
tion.il omission of attention are
viewed as iiitemied slights and as
such resented. These indications
of injury to the unconscious offender,
u ho in turn wi fens the breach of af
fiction by some display of pendente
or interference, which fiecpientlv ir
ritates the first wound inflicted, un-
iceornes incurable, in this

The Fence of Coil.
“The sun is very hot on ibis side
of the boat,” said a portly gentle
man, who, with two ladies, was
standing on the deck of a large
steamboat.
“It is boiling,” said one of the
ladies, fieifiilly, raising a tiny para
sol. “It will ruin my complexion;
and on the other end ot the boat it
is blowing a perfect gale; for my
part, i don’t see any pleasure in itJ
“Nor I/’ said the other. “It is
hollow, like all the other so-called
pleasures, I don’t believe there is
such a thing in the world as happi
ness, I would be glad to find even
peace; but the more you cry, ‘Peace,
peace,’ the more you leel that there
is no peace.”
They were startled by a \Q;ce,
saying, “Oh that ihuu tin cist hcark
ened to My commandments! then
had rity peace been as a river,”
Turning, they saw an old man
leaning heavily on a cane, for he was
evidently past his threescore and ten
years. His garments were coarse
and ill-lilting, though they were care
fully brushed; and the ladies drew
back wbh a dignified air. The ger*
demon was about to order the in
truder away, but his gaze was fixed
afar off, on the calm flowing waiers
of the river, and they contented

To Make Boys Good Farmers.
—'Die American Agriculturist says ;
Induce them to take an interest in
the farm, in the implements, in the
the result of his reseuches comfirms ' ”■
the facts recorded by Lite Evangelists
ofthe wonderful physical events that
accompanied the crucifixion. His
astronomical calculation also shows
that on the 6lh of April, A. D. 31,
there was a total eclipse of the sun,
accompanied, in all probability, by
the earthquake spoken of in Mat
thew', This mode of reckoning is
verified by another calculation back
ward from the great loial eclipse ol
April, ISIS, which also gives April
6th as the date ofthe new moon A,
D. 31. As the vernal equinox of the
year fell on March 25, and the Jews
ate their Easter lamb and celebrated
their Feast of the Passover on the
following new moon, it is clear
April Q was identified with Nisan 14
ofthe Jewish calendar, which, more
over, was on Friday, the clay of
preparation for the Sabbath, and
this agrees with the Hebrew Tal
mud, -so that astronomy, archaeolo
gy, traditional and Biblical history
seem to unite in fixing the date of
the crucifixion at April 0 A. D. 31,

Matrimonial Jars-—If people
would but consider how possible tl
is to inflict pain and perpetrate
w rong without any positive intention
of doing either, buL merely from cir
cumstances arising from inadver-
tance, want of sympathy, or an in
capability of mutual comprehen
sions, how much acrimony might be
spared! Half the quarrels that em
bitter wedded file, aud half the sep
arations that spring from them are
produced by the parties misunder
standing each other’s peculiarities
and not studying and making allow-
noiice he will take of you.
A true religious instinct never de-
ptived a man of one single joy;
mournful faces and a somner aspect
are the conventional affectation of

The greatest ornament of an il
lustrious life is modesty and humil
ity, which go a great way in the
character even ot the most exalted
princes.—Napoleon.
Necessity, that great refuge and
excuse for human frailty, breaks
through all law; and he is not to be
accounted in fault whose crime is
not the effect of choice, hut lbrce.
Title arid ancestry render a good
man more illustrious, but an ill one
more contemptible. Vice is infa
mous, though in a prince; and vir
tue honorable, though in a peasant.
False happiness renders men stern
and proud, and that happi* ess is
never communicated. True happi
ness renders them kind and sensi

shared.
There is nothing like beginning
life with settled economical princi-
what you did, ami how you lived
when a boy ; but do not harp too
much on the degenerate character of
young men of the present age ;
praise, them when you can, and en
courage them to do still belter. Let
them dress up in the evening instead
of sitting down in their dirty clothes
in a dirty room. Provide plenty of
light. Thanks lo kerosone, our
country homes can he as brilliantly I pies. Extravagance is a habit, easi-
ilghted as the gas-lit residences in I ly contracted, and goes on increas
the city. Encourage the neighbors I ing in volume as a snow-bail doe
to drop in evenings. Talk agricul- | when rolling down-hill,
tore rather than politics ; speak of
the importance of large crops, of
good stock, of liberal feeding, and of
the advantage of making animals
comfortable, rather than of hard
times, low' prices and high wages.—
Above all encourage the boys to
read good agricultural books. Pa
pers are well enough, but an intelli
gent boy wants something more.—
Get him some good agricultural book
to study. Road it with him, and
give him the ben* fit of your expeii-
t-nce ami criticism. When he has
mastered this, give him another. Iu
our own case, we owe our love for
farming principally to the fact that
our father told us of everything that
he was doing on the farm; answer
ing all the questions, and encourag
ing rather than refusing, our child
like desire of helping him to plow,
to chop, to let off' water, and fire the
brush heap.

Discretion, the more it is discov

A German got his dander up the
