They are the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno vator and Invigorator of the Systoin, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring tho blood to a healthy con dition. No person can take these Bitters according .to directions and remain long unwell,provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. They lire a Gentle Purgative as well ns a Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs. FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, In young>r old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at tho turn of life, these Tonic Bitters hare no equal. For Inflammatory anil Chronic Rheuma tism and Goat, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil lons, Remittent nutl Intermittent ‘.Fevers, Diseases of tho Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Blndder, these Bitters have been most successful.

One bottle in such cases will convince tho most incredulous of their curative effects. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im purities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erup tions or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanso it when it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Keep the Wood pure, and the health of the system will follow. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking In the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there is scarcely an individual upon the faco of tho earth whose body is exempt from tk«, presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No System of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics, will free the system from worms like these Bitters. J. WALKER, Proprietor. R. 11. MCDONALD & CO., D r,, cgists and Gen.

In one of the poorest, narrowest streets of a beautiful foreign city, lived a woman and her liitle son, whom we will call Henri. The boy had no recollection of his faitiei, who had cruel y deseited both Ids wife and child. Their only means ot subsistence was what could be ob tabled by the woman’s labor—such household work us could be obtained in the dwellings of tin* rich. Some times rite b id to walk long distances to and 'fiotn her occupation, but no murmur ever escaped her lips, save one ol regietthat her liltle, fair hair ed boy had lo be I. ft alone in her ab sence, and that she could not ear money enough to send him to school. Mature, however, all unaided, was leaching him without the help of books or masters, and everywhere in Florence, (the city of (lowers,) there was more than sufficient t > ex cite the admiration, and salisv the cravings, of this child of g'nius, whose inqnirit g eyes would always rest on whatever was beautiful, and such was to he mrt with in every nook and corner of the grand, old place. The “purple and transparent shadows” which flooded the whole city at eventide, and lit up the gor geous palaces and churches fair, ma !e for him so many glowing pic ture;, on which his poetical imagina tion and w elt long after the first impres sion had passed away. During his mother’s absence, the greater part of his time was spent in what we should call grubbing in tiie slre-t gutters, making odd-looking things of any soft material lie could shape to die needed consistency, just as one secs children making sand ho tses at the sea-side. These little juveniles generally set up, and then demolish their buildings. Henri did nothing of the sort. Every one of those little lumps was moulded into same form copied either from nature or art, for in that beautiful city every street is a museum. P;o --jections, bosses, finials, all are speci mens o' real architectural beauty, of a peculiar and distinctive type. For a long ti inc the young boy continued to fashion objects of this sort, until, by a kind ol fresh inspiration, be aimed at representing the human form. The only difficulty seemed to be how to obtain the models from which to work. At length a hnpoy thought occur red lo him. He had no money, but he could easily reward the sitter by giving him his next meal, and to lose i hat was as nothing compared to the joy he fell at having some chance Arau who would answer his purp >se, and who could be enticed Ly so small a guerdon to the artist’s hum bis studio. In spite of bis mother’s remonstrances, Henri worked away early and late, every day becoming more passionately attached to his be loved art, Years sped on without any public recognition of his talent, but his res olute, persevering nature would not allow him to be discouraged. It is true Ue was poor,but then he was rich in hope, and sustained by the conscious ness of that inward power which is the accompaniment of real genius. He never dreamed of envying others, but thought only of making himself perfect in vital he determined should be the master-piece of all his hither to attempted studies—one which was now growing to ample propor tions beneath his busy fingers. At length, hit task,or rather labor of love, being complete, he told his mother that he should ask permis sion to show it at an exhibition of sculpture in his native city. He applied for permission, aild his re quest was granted, on condition that the siatne should be sent forthwith to the hall ot inspection. “That, gentlemen, is impossible,” replied Henri. “I am very poor, and the apartment in which I live is so small that my work could only be removed by taking off the roof." The men looked at each other in amazement; but there was so much simplicity and honesty in ihe youth, that after conferring together lor a few moments they proposed to accompany him home, to see the marvelous production, to which Henri at present declined to give any name. They followed him up the narrow stair-case lo the little garret, and looked around in vain for the wonder they had come lo be hold. Henri saw their surprise, and without a word, threw back a baize curtain from the floor, and revealed to them the lay-figure, life-size, of a murdered man. The gentlemen started back in amazement. So lovely, in death, were the lineaments of that exquisite face, so faultless in form, so wondrously expressive of purity and innocence, that they could not believe it the work of an untutored youth, entirely devoid of art-education and the lawsofanalo my, which the most critic and admitted were perfectly ima.-s nl .ble in th,. figure before them. No; they would not credit, and avowed their belief that he had been implicated in some terrible crime, for which the victim la i served as a model, ft was in vain that the young sculptor pro tested, ex;,-lamed; tlioy were inexor able, and declared he'should be sent to prison, and there await the issue of the charge pn (erred against him. They further desired dim ut once to name the counsel for Ins defence. “He shall appear, gentlemen, on ihe day of trial; 1 cannot give his name lie! r*.” Amazed beyond measure aL the calmness and se f-possession dis played by Henri, they fell comp-li ed to acquiesce. Either his yo ith, his beauty, or bis earnestness—per haps all three combined—made the judges so »:■ r mitigate their severity, as to allow him the use of his tools, and the admission of visitors during his imptisonment. It is needless to dwell on the dis appointment lo the youth at this ter nble blow to his long-cherished de sires—hardly less on his own .ac count than on that of his good moth er, whom be had hoped to place be yond the need of all further earthly wants. It will better please the reader to learn that be did not yield himself up to despair. His will was nerved to plan, his hand to execute, another statue equal, if not super ior, to the one lie hail already a chleved. It will readily be imagined that the advent til such a trial as that now pending caused no small stir in the city. 1 lie hitherto obscure life of the young sculptor, and the stand he had made about his counsel, very considerably enhanced the anxiety ami excitement of tho public.— Many, unable to restrain their im patience, visited him in prison— some, doubtless, impelled by curi osity, others moved by some higher motive. Among these were two distinguished-looking individuals— who chanced at that time, m he so journing in Florence. One was con siderably past middle age ; the oihei (said to be his nephew) was ayoutm man, of remarkably handsome countenance an;! noble figure. No restriction seemed to be put either on the frequency or length of their visits; while, lo poor Henri, the time thus spent was as gold and sun shine in this otherwise dutk phase of his career. Greatly to the as tonishment of every one, his mother had removed to a handsome lugsria in the best quarter of the city ; her sadness of heart and countenance seemed to have vanished ; and there was a gladness in her whole hear ing, such as none who had known her, had ever before seen. “It is a grout mystery, certainly,” said the gossips, “how this change should have come about before her son’s fate is decided !” At length, the all-important day arrived. The judges, (who had never seen the prisoner since the day of arrest) being assembled in 'he great hall of the Assembly, de sired tiie prisoner nr igln be brought m. The prone figure wag placed on the platform, concealed as before with the clo hos green baize; whilst at iis side, but considerably raised, was another, also covered. The question was at once put as to what counsel he had employed. “Gentl emeu,” he said, “I am my own counsel. You questioned my ability to give you a representation ot ’Death ;’ here is one of ‘Life.’— My subject is, ‘The Murder of Abel by bis Brother Gain,’ ” Both coverings were withdrawn. Profound stillness succeeded this de claration, followed Ly a burst of ad miration, such as had never before been heard in Florence in the nine teenth century. Foremost of his ad mirers were his former accusers.— The news was instantly carried to the king, who commanded the stat ues to be bought, and placed in the Pilti Palace. “It is not possible, gentlemen, for me to obey the command of my sovereign,” said Henri; “ the sculptures are no longer mine, hav ing been purchased by the Emperor of Russia. The money I have had for them has paid for my mother’s present abode, and placed me for ever beyond the reach of want.” The nephew of the Russian am bassador, Kissalieff, had served as a model for the arm of “Cain;” and tho3e to whom his features were fa miliar, at once recognized the hand some face. The narrator of this circumstance has seen the statues at St. Peters burg, in a building erected expressly for their reception. The Sculptor’s name was Dupre, since become one of world-wide celebrity. To be Remembered —Three things to love—courage, gentleness and affection. Three things to admire— intellectual power, dignity and grace lu ness. Three things to hate-cru elly, arrogance and ingratitude. Three things to delight in— beauty, frankness and freedom. Three things to wish for health, friends and a cheerful spirit. Three things to like cordiality, good humor, and inirlhfulness. Three things to avoid idleness, loquacity and flippant jesting. Three things to cultivate good books, good friends, snd good hu mor. Three things to contend for— honor,country and friends. Three things to govern—temper, tongue and conduct. Three things to think about life, death and eternity. A loving heart and a pleasant countenance are'commodities which a man should never fail to take home with him. They will best season his food and sullen his pillow. It were a great thing for a tnun that his wife and cbildten could truly say ot him, ‘He revet brought a frown ol unhappiness across Ins threshold.” This whole life is but one great school. From the cradle to the grave we are scholar?. The voices ol those ws love, and the wisdom of past ages, and our experience, are our teachers. Affliction gives us discipline.— The spirits ol the departed saints whisper to us, “come up higher.” Cultivating Virtues by System. For the benefit of some who wish to know how they may attain sym metry ot character and whiteness of soul we give the method pursued by Franklin, of winch be remarks in bis 79tli year : “It may be well my posterity should lie informed, that to this little artifice, with the bless ing of God, their ancestor owed the constant felicity of his life down to the 79th year, in which this is writ ten. What reverses may attend the remainder is in the hand of Provi dence : but if they arrive, the reflec tion on past happiness ought to help his bearing them with more resigna tion. To temperance he ascribes his long continued health, and what is still lef t to him of a good constitu ioti. To industry and frugality, the early easiness of his circumstance* and acquisition of Ins fortune, with all that knowledge that enabled him to be a useful citizen, and obtained (or him some degree of reputation among the learned. To sincerity and justice the confidence of his couatry, and the honorable employs it con ferred upon him ; and to the joint influence of the whole mass of the viitures, even in the imperfect state he was able to acquire them, all that evenness of temper and that cheer fulness in conversation which makes his company still sought lor, and agreeable even to his young acquain tance.” Concerning the project of becom ing morally perfect he set himself dilligently to the task* He made a list ot the virtues—Temperance, Si lence, Order, Resolution, Frugaliiy, Industry, Sincerity, Justice, Moder ation, Cleanliness, Tranquility, Chastity, Humility. To each of these lie allotted a page in a little book so ruled with red and black’ ink that he could easily record his daily delinquencies. He gave one week’s particular attention to each virtue, and as they were thiiteen in number, he was able to go through his book four times a year. “I was surprised,” he says, “to find mys. li so much fuller of faults than 1 h of imagined ; but I had ihe saiis actio: of seeing them diminish. After a while l went through one cour*e on ly in a year; and afterwards only one in several years ; till at length I omitted them entirely ; but I al ways carried my little book with me.” Those who wish to become more intimately acquainted with the methods by which Franklin attained his position will consult Patton’s “Life of Franklin.” Schroeder, in bis “Life and Times of Washing ton,” dwells on the assiduity with which the youthful patriot cultiva ted the virtues and strove to form himself into the pattern of all excel lence. We always conceive of John Mil ton as a glorious poet, with his sing ing robes around him, but a study of his life shows that his splendid at tainments and mastery of all the knowledge of his age were the rosult of the most exact and conscientious employment ol time. He. was as careful that no spot or smirch should sully his moral nature. He lived ever. “As iu the great Taskmaster’s eye,’’ And when the mellow seductions of Italy and Paris were woven around him he perpetually remem bered that “though he might avade the observation of men, he could not elude the inspection of God.” —New York Tribune. Sneer Jnot at old clothes. They are often made holy by long sacri fices, by careful foldings away, that they may last until the dear ones are provided for. If many an old No. 40 [coat could sjeak, what tales it j would tell of the noble heart beatings underneath! A Dsg which does not Forget an In to There is a large Newfoundland ; dog in t ! is city, about ten years old I which is, doubtless, one of the most knowing specimens of the canine family living. When it was about six months of age, a couple of young men, in order to have a little fun, tied a liri ketile to its tail, and sent it running through the streets. It was sport for the hoys, but the act was never forgotten by the dog. 'Fill this day it shows signs of dis pleasure at the sight ot either of those young men. One of them re moved trom the place, and, several years after the tm-ketile affair, he was visiting the place and called at the residence of the dog’s owner. The and g, hearing the voice ot the \onng man inside ttie house, resort ed to a number of devices to gain udmissision. Upon being admitted, it sprang for the throat of the visitor, with jaws extended. The iarnily interfered, of course, and the dog was removed from the house. From that day (when the kettle was tied to its tail, to this, neither of those young men can enter the gate lead ng 10 the house if the dog is at home. On one occasion a beggar called at the back door for something to eat, and was plentifully supplied by the good lady ot the house. While pass ing out through the yard, the beg gar threw away some of the food, the dog saw it, and taking the. un thankful solicitor of alms by the leg .and his pants loons, walked him hur tiedly out through the gale. No beg gar is permitted by that dog to en ter the gale since. A negro once kicked this dog, and it has had such a disliking for all persons of color since, that not one, with its permis sion, is allowed on the premises. A lew years since the owner of the dog was taken sick and died. The dog was most deeply affected by the event, and refused to be com forted for many days and weeks thereafter. When the bell was toll ed lor the funeral the dog seemed to understand its mournful import, and from that day to this the tolling of the bell causes the dog to break forth in most dismal wailings. The Chinese Wall. —Mr. Sew ard, who visited the great wall of China during his visit to that coun try, recently gave the following de scription of that wonderful struc ture: The Chinese have been for at least two or three thousand years a wall-making people. It would bank rupt New York or Paris to build the walls of the City of Pekin. The great wall of China is the G.eat Wall of the world. It is forty feel high. The lower thirty feel is of hewn limestone or granite. Two modern carriages may pass each other upon the summit. Ii has a par ap< tthroughout us vvhoe length, with convenient staircases, buttresses and garrison (muses at every quarter of a mile, and it runs, not bv cutting down bids and ,nisuig , - I vs, but over the uneven eresis ' Ur moun tains amt down through ifie*i r gorges a distance ot a thousand miles.— Admiral Rodgers and I calcul t f, d iliat it .vould cost more now t>, bn'. 1 • die Gnat Wall of China thtougii ns extent ot one thousand miles than it has cost to truild the titty-five thousand miles of railroads in the United Slates. Bring the Factories to the Field.— W here is the sense in supposing that the machinery which turns cot ton into cloth should be located one thousand or two thousand miles away from the [dace where the raw material is grown ? What commer cial or other neccessity is there that a bale of cotton should be taxed with the cost of transportation, of cartage, of warehousing, before it can be turned into cloth? Why should all this waste be contributed to enrich communities far from the locality where the crop is planted? People do not want raw cotton ; as a general thing, they want cotton cloth. Why should not the South accomo date them ? Is there anything to prevent the South from making cloth ? On the contrary, there are abundant proofs to show that cloth can be made belter and more cheap ly in the South than anywhere else in the world.' Why, then, should we hesitate to take advantage of our natural facilities ? There is no rea* son why the price of the finished ar ticle should be increased to the coa> sumer by a multitude of transfers first, from the plantation to the fac tor; next, to the local speculator; then to the eastern buyer ; (finally, through a dozen other changes of ownership, all involving more or less of profit and augmentation of price in the hands of the manufactu-* , ter.— Farmer Artisan,
