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 often arises the final separa persons, wit > might, had itaw < lv examined each other’.- have t.ved t ii ii in inn ! i'V| f. acem heart to be 1 heir tar. ■cm- condition of chrome snar 1; c'ivcs ate oi tie most ptitg ciiaruetei ; everyoody is a ! or ‘swindled or ‘scoundrel,’ even if their short-coming-; are of the slightest character.

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 themselves w ith drawing away. The lady, who had last spoken, leaned over the side ol the boat, and looked for a time down into the w’a- ter; then she said; “That wasn’t a bad comparison unseen fugitive th ough trees, led on by bet fairy laugh—now here, no.v lost, now found?

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.

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 weak-minded. 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 ble, and that happiness is always 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.
