<i it ors doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste,
called “Tonics,” “Appetizers.” “Restorers,” sic ., that
lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true
Medicine, made from the Native Roots and Herbs of Cali
fornia, free from nil Alcoholic Stimulants.
They are the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and
A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno
vator and In rig orator of the By .stem, carrying off all
poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy con
dition. No person can take these Bittors 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 arc n Gentle Purgative no well ns n
Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as
u powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inlinmmution
of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organa.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in young or
old, married or single, at llic dawn of womanhood or at
tiie turn of life, these Tonic Bitters have no equal.
For Inflammatory anil Chronic Rheuma
tism nuil Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil
ious, Remittent nud Intermittent Fevers,
Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys aud
Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful.
Such Diseases arc caused l*y Vitiated Blood,
which is generally produced by derangement of the Di
gestive Organs.
DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache,

Inflammation or the Lungs, Pain in 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 Rowels, which render them of unequalled effi
cacy iu cleansing the blood of all impurities, aud impart
ing now Ufa and vigor to the whole system.

dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by
tho use ot these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will
convince t lie most incredulous of their curative effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find Its im
purities bursting through tho skin in Pimples, Erup
tions or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in tho veins; clcanso it when it is foul, and
your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure,
and the health of the svstem 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 five face of the earth
whose body is exempt from tlu presence of worms. It
is not upon the healthy elements of the body that
worms exist, but upon tho diseased humors and slimy
deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No
System of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics,
will tree the system from worms like these Bitters.

The ml ol “livaig togi tisei” pl.-as
ural.ly is greatly promoted iiy the
habitual exchange ot the liule cour
tesies of life ; they me never unim
portant, never unaccept .lile, ate al-
Xvays gra'efu! to the feelings, ami
aie a constant well spring ol agreea
ble feelings in every household.
Shall lumbers and siaers be less
careful of the feelings of. n • another,
than those oi a stranger? and as be
tween husband and wile, should
there be less effort at gentleness of
depot uncut, ot suavity of manner,
and courtesy of expression than is
extended to outsiders, who have no
special claims and may never be
seen again? Shame upon any mem
ber of any faintly \\ ho neglects those
aili cliooate attentions, and ihose
suavities of deportment towards the
members ol the household and even
lo the lowest servant, which cannot
tail lo elevate the giver, and to draw
from the receiver those willing
and spontaneous iceiprocities which
make ot family associations a little
heaven below.
Fault-finding is an apple’of dis
cord in multitudes ol families.—
There are some persons who, from
ugliness ot temper arising liom b >di
ly infiiinity, or an inherent blight of
nature, ate lorevei tin.ling fault, ei
ther tin something said or done, or
omitted to be said or done ; if not in
the family, then out of it. Some
where or something is always going
wrong with them ; in every remark
they make theie is vinegar and bit
terness; their whole nature seems
to be in a condition of chronic snarl;
their adjectives ate of the most
sweeping character; everybody is a
‘liar,’ or ‘swindler’ or ‘scoundrel,’
even if their short comings are ol
the slightest character. Such p< i
sous are dt tnoralizers of the com
munity jit which they live, and of
those with wl om they associate ;
and as to the family in which tliev
reside, they ate a perpi tint! storm, a
lotnado, and a curse.' This com
plaining, fault-finding trait does not
assume these gigantic propottions ol
enormity at once, but always comes
by’ slow- degrees and lo .g practice.
Let the reader fear tailing into this
great condemnation; let him In* a
Irani id il hum this good hour, a- to
resolve never io find limit with auv
body or anything or eliaract. rz
any otters conduct tor omission or
commission, until he has “slej t on
it,” thus giving the clearer judgment
of a renovated brain an oppoituniiy
of more dispassionate exercise.
Let every person of intelligence,
refinement and culture, bear in mind
that in “living together” with others
pleasantly, happily, it is ol essential
importance to practice the virtues ol
uniform gentleness, deference and
courtesy, rc.in inhering that one of
the most cardinal points in the pro
portion of domestic 'enjoyment and
ol 'family happiness is to cultivate
self-sacrifice; for it is this which
cherishes love in the heart of the
giver, and kindles il in those for
whom the sell sacrifice is made; or
lo frame the principle in a phrase
which all can comprehend, remem
ber and apply, that is the noblest
heart in any household, which gives
to the others the first choice, and
leaves to others the best places and
the best things.— Hall's Journal oj

Tlte Peace of Gad.
“The sun is very hot on this side
ol tlte boat,” said a portly gentle
man, who, with two ladies, w’as
standing on the deck of a large
steamboat.
“It is boiling,’’ said one of the
ladies, ftelfully, raising a liny para
sol. “It will ruin my complexion;
and on the oilier end ot the boat it
is blowing a perfect gale; for my
part, 1 don’t see any pleasure in it.’
“Nor I,” said the other. “It is
hollow, like all the other so-called
pleasures. I don't believe tliete is
such a Rung iu the world as happi
ness: I would be glad to hnd even
peace; but the more you cry, ‘Peace,
peace,’ the more yoq lee! that there
is no peace.”
They were startled by a voice,
saying, “Oh that thou hadst heark
ened to My commandments! then
had thy 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. Hts garments were coar-e
and ill-filling, thotigli they were care
fully brushed ; and the ladies drew
back with a dignified air. Tin-gen
lleman was about lo order the in
truder away, but bis gaze was fixed
afar ofl, on the calm flowing waters
of the river, and they contented
themselves with drawing away.
The lady, who had last spoken,
leaned over the side of the boat, and
looked for a time down into the wa
ter; then she said:
“That wasn’t a bail comparison
sos the old to! low, a trout peace flow
ing ns a river. Jo-:! ihhrk o! it ;
calm, hut deep, never ce. .-mg, nev
er ending; lost only in an ocean ol
the same. 1 wnmhl give die world
for such a peace as that."
“’There is a river, the siieams
whereof sh ill make gin I the cfv ol
God.” The old man Wis stilt gaz
ing at the blue waters, and perhaps
was speaking al u l < neon ( ions!v;
hut ail angry exelum .Imiii i ,-c perl
iroai tile gentleman, ami tiny walk
ed hastily away. Me ting the cap
tain, ti e gentleman said, ••Gaptain,
why did you take that crazy man on
board.”
“What crazy man, Mr Poiter?—
On !” as Ins eyes lollovva and Mr. Por
ter’s, “that is old Father (L id. He
is no more crazy th.n I am. He
used to he a wealthy merchant, but
laded. He paid ins crediting in lull,
hut he hit himself penniless. Un
says it was a blessed day tor him, lot
il led Inin to si ok for r»■.-1 and peace,
where alone they may he hnmd. He
is the happiest man 1 ever saw, and
I meet with a great many men in m\
trips up and down the river,’’and
the busy captain bowed and passed
on.
In the afternoon, a thunderstorm
arose, the liglt niug flashed, tlte thint
der pealed, the waters foamed,
while the b at shook as il it were a
ieed at the mercy ol the storm.
The passengers were lerrili -d, ly
dies shrieked, and eVt n sturdy men

“God is our refuge and strength,
a very pleasant help in trouble.—
fiieti-foie we vviil not lear, though
the i-arili he removed, and though
the mountains he carried into the
i iAst of the sou ; tltotigh the waters
then ol tour and lie trou-iled; though
I lie mountains shake with the swell
ing thereof; . . . God shall help us,
and that right ea ly.”
The terror stricken passengers al
most felt as if he were a prophet, for
even us he spoke the clouds iiioke.
and though the rain still fell gently,
a beautiful bow spanned the waters.
“ Behold 1” Said Father IL id
“Behold the sign ol God’s promise,
and heal peaceand he quietly
slipped out of the cabin, followed by
Mis.- Potter, who grasped his hand,
and asked, “.Sir, how can I obtain
this lest and peace ? ”
IL- looked at her with eyes full ol
love and pity, and said, gently.
“Jesus said: ‘Come unto Me, all ye
that labor and ure heavy laden, and
1 will give you rest you rest.’”
“I have heard that often before,”
said she, hut it se< ms new.”
“Yes, it is the old, old story, yet
ever new ; hut it is all you can do.
Only trust Him and follow Him, then
indeed the peace of God shall keep
your In-art sml mind through Christ
Jesus.”
——
The Precise Dale of Christ's Cruci
fixion.—A distinguished German
scholar. Herr Kleb, it; a recently
published work, considers that he
lias settled the true dale of the cru
cifixion. He shows that there wns
a total eclipse of the moon concomi
tant with the earthquake which oc
curred when Julius Caesar was as
sassinated on the 15th ot March, B.
C. 44, He has also calculated the
Jewish calendar to A. D. 31, and
the result of his reseaches cornfirms
the facts recorded by the Evangelists
ol'the wonderful physical events that
accompanied llte crucifixion. His
astronomical calculation also shows
that on the Glh 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 total eclipse ol
April, ISIS, which also gives April
6th as the date of the 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 paasQver on the
following new moon, it is clear
April 6 was identified with Nisau 14
of the Jewish calendar, which, more
over, was on Friday, the day of
preparation for the Sabbath, and
this agrees with the Hebrew Tal
mud, so that astronomy, archieoto
gy, traditional and Biblical history
seem to unite in fixing the dale of
the crucifixion at April 6 A. D. 3i.

To Make Boys Good Farmers.
—The American Agriculturist says :
Induce them to take an interest in
the farm, tri the implements, in the
slock ; tell them all your plans,
your successes and failures : give
them a history of your own life and
what you did, and how you lived
when a hoy ; hut 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 no stiil better. Let
them dress up in the evening instead
ot silting down in their dirty clothes
in a dirty room. Provide plenty of
light. Thanks to kernsone, our
country homes can he as brilliantly
lighted as the gas lit residences in
the city. Encmmigo the neighbors
to drop in evenings. Talk agricul
ture rather than politics ; speak ol 1
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 hoys to
Vead good agricultural books. Pa
pers are well enough, but an intelli
gent boy wants something more.—
Get bint some good agricultural book
lo study. Read it with him, and
give him the benefit of your expcii
ence and criticism. When he has
mastered this, give him another. In
our own case, we owe our love for
farming principally to the fact that
our lather told us of everything that
he was doing on tho tyroi; auswet
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.
Consider the cause of the good
standing of some, and decline and
fall and want of success of others,
and regulate your conduct accord
