MILLIONS Bear Testimony to their Wonderful Curative Effects. They are not a vile Fancy Drink, madcot Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Li* q u ors doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste, called “Tonics,” “Appetizers,” “Restorers,” Ac., that lead the tippler on to,drunkenness andruin, but arc a true Medicine,made from the Native Root's and Herbs of Cali fornia, free from nil Alcoholic Stimulants* They are the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER ami A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno vator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy con dition. No person enn 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 arc a Gentle Purgative a* well as 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 or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at the turn of life, those Tonio Bitters have no equal. For Inflammatory ami Chronic Rheuma tism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil ious, Keuiitteut and Intermittent IFevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful. Such Diseases arc caused by Yitinted Blood, which is generally produced by derangement of the Di gestive Organs. DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache, l»aln In the BbouMers.Coturh§, Tightness of the Chest Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth. Bilious Attacks. Palpitation of tha Heart, Inflammation of tho Lungs. Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other patnfttl symptoms, are the oflspriuga of Dyspepsia. They iufigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid Liver and Bowels, which render them of unequalled effi cacy In cleansing the blood of all impurities, and impart ing new life and rigor to the whole system. FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions. Tetter, Sal Riieum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Bolls, Car buncles, King-Worms, Scald Head. Sore Eyes, Erysipelae, Itcli.Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin. Humors and Dis< eases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince the most incrodttlous of their curative effects. Cleanse tho 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: cleanse it when it is foul, and your feelings will toll you when. Keep tho blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. Pi u, Tape, niul 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 face of the earth whose body is exempt from tko presence of worms. It is not upon tho healthy elements of the body that Sy.ti'm or Medicine, no vermKuKea. no anthelmintics, will froe the system from worms like these Bitters. J. WALKER, Proprietor. It. H.

The Dark Night. “I can’t stand it any longer, Jane, I'll g > out, and perhaps something will turn up for us.” •It’s a cold night, Robert.’ ‘Col I, yes! But it's not much colder outside than in. It would have been better if you bad married Jolm Tremain,’ he said bitterly. ‘Don’t say that, Robert; I’\e nev er regretted m> choice.’ ‘Not even now, when then- is not a loaf of bread in the bouse for you and the children.’ ‘Not even now, Robert. Don’t be discouraged. God has not forsaken us. Perhaps this evening the tide will turn, and belter days may dawn upon us to-morrow.’ RoV ft Brice shook his head des ponding ly. •Yoj are more hopelul than I, Jane. Day after day I have been in search ot employment; I have called ni fifty places, only to receive the same answer every where.’ Just then, little Jimmy, who bad been asleep, woke up. ‘Mother,’ lie pleaded, ‘won’t you give me <t piece of bread ? I am so hungry.’ ‘There is no bread, Jimmy, dar ling,’ said the mother, with an ach ing heart. ‘When will there be some :’ a-k --ed the child, piteously. Tears came to the mother’s eyes. , She knew not what to say. * ‘J mill)}', I’il bring you some Inead,’ said the father hoarsely, and he seized his hat and went to the door.i His wile, alarmed, laid her hand upon iiis sleeve. She saw the look in his eyes, and she feared to what step desperation might lead him. ‘Remember, Robert,’ she said, solemnly, ‘it is hard to starve, but there are things that are worse.’ He shook off her hand, but not roughly, and without a wind passetl out. Out in the cold streets ! They w0..1d be bis only home next, he thought. For a brief time longer he had the shelter of a cheerless room in a cold tenement house, but the rent would become due at the end of the. month, and be had nothing to meet it. Robert Brice was a mechanic, competent and skillful. Three years since he lived in a country village where his expenses were mi derate, anti he found no difficulty in meeting them. But in an evil hour lie grew tired of his village home, and lie re moved to the city. Here tie vainly hoped to do better. For a while he met w’itii very good success, but lie found the tenement house in which he was obliged to live, a poor sub stitute for the neat lit tie cottage which*he had occupied in the coun try. He saw ins mistake bui wa too proud to go back. ‘Of i ourse I can’t have as good accommodations here as in the coun try,’ lie said, ‘but it is something to live in and be in the midst ot things.’ ‘l’d rather lie back again,’ said bis wife. ‘Somehow the city doesn’t seem like home. There I used to run in take tea with a neighbor, and have a pleasant, social time. Here, I know scarcely anybody.’ ‘You’lUget used to it after a while,’ said her husband. She did not think so, but she did not complain. But a time of great depression came and with it a suspension of business enterprises. Work ceased for Robert Brice and many others. If he had been in his old home, he could have turned his hands to some thing else, and at the worst could have borrowed of his neighbors till better times. But the friendly re lations arising from neighborhood do not exist in the city to the same ex tent as in the country. So day by day he saw his scanty sum of money waste away, and no one extended a hand. Day by day he went out to seek work, only to find himself one of a large number, all of whom were doomed to disappointment. If he had been alone he could have got along somehow, but it was a sore trial to come to a cheerless room and a pale wife and hungry children with no relief to offer them. When on that evening Robert Biice went into the streets, he hard ly knew how he was going to redeem the promise he had made to little Jimmy. He was absolutely penni less, and had been so for three days. There was nothing that lie was like ly to find to do that night. ‘I will pawn my coal,’ lie said at last. ‘1 cannot see my wife and children starve.’ It was a well-worn overcoat, and that cold winter night lie needed something more to keep him warm. Weakened by enforced lasting he was more sensitive to the cold, and shivered as he walked along the pavement. •Yes,’ lit- said, -my c.ial mu-l g>>. I know not how I shall get along without it, Inn I can’t see the tliil dren starve befoie my eyes.’ He was not in general an envious man, hut when lie saw sleek, \v<- 1 fed citizens, buttoned up to the thioat in warm overt oats, come out ol die biilliaiitly lighted shops, p-ovid.-o with luxuries for happy childien at home, while his were starving, in suffered some liiitor thoughts upon the inequality of Fortune’s gifts in come to iiis mind. Why should ihey be so happy and lie so miserable? There was one man, shorter than himself, warmly clad, who passed him witli iiis hands thrust deep into the pockets of liis overcoat. There was a pleasant smile upon his face. He was doubtless thinking of the happy circle at home. Robert knew- him as a rich mer chant, whose ample warehouse lie often passed. He had applied to this man only two days before lor employment, and been refused. I was, periiaps, the thought oft he wide difference between them, so far a • mtward circumstances went, that led Robert Brice to follow him. Alter a while the merchant—Mr. Grimes, drew his handkerchief slow ly from liis pocket. As lie did so, lie did not peiceive lint iiis pocket book came with it and fell to tile sidewalk. He (tut not perceive it, but Robert did. His heart leaped into hi* mouth, and a sudden thought enter ed liis mind. He bent quickly down and picked up the pocket book. He raised liis eyes hastily to see if the movement was noticed- It was not. The merchant went on unheeding liis loss. ‘Tins will buy bread for my wife and children,’ thought Robert in stantly. A vision of the comfort which the money would bring that cheerless mom, lighted up iiis heart for an in stant, but then, for he was not dis honest, there came another thought I'lie money was not iiis, much as In wanted it. ‘But, I cannot see rny wife an-i children starve,’ lie thought again. •If it is wrong to keep this money, God will pardon the offence. He will understand mv motive.’ All this was sophistry, and he knew it. In a moment lie fell it to lie so. There were some tiling worse than starvation. It was his wife that had said just before lie came out. Could he meet her gaze, when lie returned with food so obtained ? ‘l’ve lived honest so far,’ he thought—‘l won’t turn thiet now.” It was with in effort that became to tins decision, for all the while lie lore iiis eyes there was that vision of a cheer less home, and lie could heir Jimmy vainly asking for food. It was with an effort that he stepped tiirward and placed iiis hand on the merchant’s shoulder, and extended the hand that held the pocket book. ‘Sir,’ lie said hoarsely, ‘you have dropped your pocket book. 1 ‘Thank you,’ said the merchant, turning round, ‘I hadn’t perceived my loss.’ ‘You dropped it when you took out your handkerchief.’ ‘And you saw it, and picked it up. I am very much obliged to you.’ ‘You have reason to be,’said Rob ert m a low voice. ‘1 came very near keeping it.’ ‘That would have been dishonest,’ said Mr. Grimes, iiis tone altering slightly. ‘Yes, it would, but it’s hard in a man to be honest when he is penni less, and his wife and children with out a crust.’ ‘Surely you and your family are not in that condition?’ said the mer chant earnestly. “Yes,’ said Robeit, “it is only too true.’ ‘And you are out of work !’ ‘For two months I have vainly sought for work. 1 applied to you two days since.’ ‘I remember you now. I thought I had seen your face before. You still want work ?’ ‘I should feel grateful for it.’ ‘A porter left me yesterday. Will you take bis place at sl2 a week ?’ ‘Thankfully, sir. 1 would work for half that.” “Then come to-morrow morning, or rather, as to-morrow will be a hol iday, the day succeeding. Mean time take this lor your present ne cessities.’ He drew from his pocket book a bank note and put it in Robert’s hand. ‘lt’s $-30,’ said Robert, amazed. ‘1 know it. This pocket book contains SI,OOO. But for you 1 should have lost the whole.’ ‘God bless you, sir; good night!’ said Robert. ‘Good night!’ Jane waited for her husband, in the cold and cheerless room, w bich for a few days longer she might call her home. D > y->u think bull- r will bring me some bread?’ asked little Jim mv, as he nestled in her lap, ‘I hope so, darling,’ sh • said, bu> her heart misgave her. She feared it was a delusive hope. Ail hour passed—there was a step on tiie stair—her husband's. L could not he, for this was a cheerful elastic step, coming up two stairs :n a time. She looked eagerly at the door. Yes, it was lie. The door opened. Robeit, radiant with joy, entered with a basket full oi substantial pro visions. ‘Have you got some bread, lath er ?’ asked Jimmy, hopefully. ‘Yes, Jimmy some bread and ineai front a restraunt. and here’s a little lea . lid sugar, There’s a liule wood let', Jane. Let’s have a blight fire nid a comfortable m-al, tor, please God, this cliall be a comfortabl* night.’ ‘How did it happen? Tell me. Robert.’ So Robeit told his wit', and soon a bright fire lighted tip ttie before cheerless room. Tiie next wi ek they moved to a belter home. The have never since known what it is to want. Robert found a firm friend in tiie savings hank, and has reason to remember, with grateful heart, God’s goodness on the Eve of Temptation. • Education. Tiie common opinion is crude. Ii is generally understood to signify “ob .lining knowledge.” Such ex pressions as the following aie com mon : “a common-school educa tion “a commercial education,” etc. This is very fir limn tiie true ilea- Education is duci/iline. Knowl edge is necessary, but knowledge and es not always produce it. That knowledge is valuable which secures close thought. Some knowl edge in iy be obtained without much application, and is not. as a rule, of much importance. Such is the knowledge given by men who ig nore discipline, and would lead astray young men, under the pnpu lar notion that they are to learn what i hey wish to use. There i* such a thing as a drill, or discipmie of the mind, giving increased power to think upon business affairs, but such a drill is not received in three o six months, as claimed by tno*t of our commercial colleges. Education is discipline—power to think—and can only he obtained by long continued application. That business education which alone is of real value, is that which is obtained by coaiing in actual contact with business; grappling with tiie prob lems of chance as they are set in the busy whirl of society. The simple record of a transac lion is one thing; the balancing ot chances —the study of men and their wants—tiie comprehending of the movements of society, so as to be able to tell its ebb and How, i« quite another. To claim that the former constitutes a business education is a farce. Young men, if you wish to be pre pared for business, think! You have powers of mind ; therefore strength en them. That which you most need is close study of men and books. You cannot afford to be a machine. Dare to be the architect of your fortune. Remember, that your claim to an education is deter mined by the power you possess of independent thought. The power to gather up the moving, bustling, Stirling events of the present, and predetermine the result, is the best diploma in the world. It is one that is recognized anywhere and every where. — Wester l l Agriculturist. Home Convehsation. —Children hunger perpetually for new ideas They will learn with pleasure from the lips of parents what they deem it drudgery to study in books; and even if they have the misfortune to be deprived of many educational ad vantages, they will grow up intelli gent if they enjoy in childhood the privilege of listening daily to the conversation of intelligent people. We sometimes see parents, who are the life of every company which they enter, dull, silent and uninter esting at home amongst their chil dren. If they have not mental ac tivity and mental stores sufficiently for both, let them first use what they have for their own household. A silent house is a dull place fur young people, a place from which they will escape if they can. How much use ful information, on the other hand, is often given in pleasant family con veisKiion, and what unconscious but excellent mental training in lively social argument.

No. 46 Washington Irving’s First Love. When young he became intimate ly acquainted with a daughter ut one oi' the Knickerbockers of the time, high in family and wealth. With the young lady he pressed his suit successfully ; and in time the father might have succumbed, des pite the (act that he regarded the resources with which Irving pro posed to support a wife too sl>aider to maintain that style of luxury to which his daughter had been accus tomed. In an evil hour, as it seem ed, a Dr. Creighton, a minister oi’ the Episcopal church, despite his Scotish parentage, fell in with the gentleman whom Irving was desi rous ot making his father-in-law. The clergyman’s eyes were dazzled by tile young lady, and the eves of tne father had been blinded to all Other considerations but the wealth which Creighton offered, together with his heart. Time and persist ency pushed Irving from the scene, and the girl, obedient submission to her father's urgent entreaties, gave his preference to precedence of her own. But the saddest par; of the story remains to he told. When the question of the marriage pottion was under consideration, the father stat ed that the family had been tainted with insanity ; and, to guard against the evils ol harsh treatment, should his daughter he alllicted with the same malady, insisted that a certain sum should he set aside, which, in the event of such a calamity, should lie devoted to her maintenance on her estate on llie batiks of the Hud son, and that in no event should she he removed from the mansion there. The terms the ardent suiter, hop ing for the best, complied with. It may have been the result of heredi tary disease, or of the effect to crush out and kill her young hop s, hut not many yeais elapsed lx lore the young wife was a raving maniac.— She became so violent that coiiline inent was necessary, and the family Mansion was converted into an asy lum, Dr. Creighton building another house on a distant part of the estate. The unfortunate woman is still liv ing, and on quiet nights her shriek may be heard shrilling along the banks of the river—almost audible, too, at the secluded retreat which Irving occupied. No heart but Ins own knows how much the sad event may have tinged his own life, or to what exertions it may have urged him in attempting to drown all re membrances ot his disappointment. Dr. Creighton has for years officiated at the humble chapel where Irving worshipped : and, singular enough, read the burial service for Iris rival. To those who knew of these mourn ful circumstances, the strange coin cidence must have beenexceedinglv painful. There are hut few por traits or busts of Mr. Irving in exis tence, as he, in the last years of his life, persistently refused to place himself at the disposal of any artist, however celebrated. How to Prevent Spring Dis eases.—From Dr. Hall’s new work, ‘‘Health by Good Living,” we ex tract the following valuable hints : It is an indisputable, physiologi cal truth that if the instinctsof na ture were yielded to in the Spring; were cherished in her desire to take less and less food as the weather grows warmer, as thpy are yielded in the Autumn in taking more, a ve ry Urge amount of the diseases of Spring and Summer would be avoid ed- The great practical lesson to be learned in reference to the sub ject, a question ol health and dis ease, yes, in multitudes of cases, a question of life and death, is simply this: As the Winter passes, and the balmy Spring lime comes on, do nothing to increase the appetite; eat no more than is called for; do not be uneasy because you have lit tle or no relish for your find; pat less and less every day. The very best way to increase your pleasure of eating is to change the quality of food; use articles less carbonaceous, less warming; seud from your ta ble the pork and bacon, and fat meats, oils, and sugars, and starch es, and sago, and the tapioca pud ding, and the dumplings, and the rch pastries; get hold of the earlv ‘greens,’ the spinach, the salads, the turnip-tops, the radish, the early berry and the daily fruit, and leau meats; pay increasing attention to the cleanliness of the skin ; be more in the air; sleep in better ventilated rooms; let your windows be raised high at night and your inner doors be left wide ODen.
