They are the GREAT 111.00!) PUR 1 FI EES and V LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno vator and In vigor Ator of tho System, carrying off nil poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a heal; hy con dition. No person can take these Bittcr3 according to directions and remain long unwell.provided their bones ru o not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. They arc a Gentle Purgative an well n* n Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Livc-r, and all tiic Visceral Organs. FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in young or old, married or single, nt the dawn of womanhood or at ; he turn of life, these Tonic Ritters have no equal. For liiflnmrnntory nud Chronic Rhcnnin t ism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil ious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the lllocd, Liver, Kidncyn and Bladder, these Bittern have been most successful. Such Diseases aro caused by Vitiated Blood. liich is generally produced by derangement of the Di gestive Organs.

Humors and Dis. eases of the Skin, of whatever nemo or nature, are literally ting up and carried out of tho system in a shirt time by tho use of 'theso Ritters. One bottle in such cases will convince the most incredulous of their curative (fleets. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im purities bursting: through tho skin in Pimples, Erup tion." or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed atul sluggish in the reins; cleauso it when it is foul, and your feelings win t-11 you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. I'iii, Tape, and oilier Worms, lurking in tho Bystem of so many thousand", are effectually destroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there is scarcely an individual upon live face of the earth whose body is exempt from tl:<* presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that worm* exist, but upon the diseased Rumors and slimy deposits that breed these liviiir monsters of .isease.

This is saying much, for the jnalur.il incl nation is to .xagsjerate j the jiast. The orators ol a Former day were remaikalile, but ibis one of jours is a wonder. Senator Schurz j has a remarkably clear ami rather i piercing voice. He speaks with a ! great comm ut'd of language and j somewhat German accent, but so j far as choice ot words and construe | tion of sentences are concerned, in j tlie purest Eugiish. F.-r hours he I held th'il vast assembly, and v ben he closed ill* re was a strange ming ling ot rebel au.l regr- I -uch as one feels at die end ol a beautiful and iragic opera, when ill ■ last strain pours ml as tne curtain drops. 1 happened lo he witness to a little j scene'of domestic beauty that was j to me exceedingly touching.

On the Tuesday Sen ilor Schuiz was to rt-jily she wan dered about resile .-ly, and. at iast unable to control herself, about 3 o’elo'-k yvenl to the Ca, itol.

The lake is situated in the Rocky Mountains, at an altitude of live thousand feet above the level of the sea. Looking from a high peak near this body of water, he saw the panorama of the most wonderful region known to man. For within scope of the eye from that point— having their origin in Henry Lake— are the sources ot five of the grand' est rivers on the face of the globe, born, as it were, in the same little lake, and drinking all from the same small spring. Here the Yellow stone, Snake and Green Rivers, as well as Clark’s Fork, Wind River, Madison and Gallatin, start together, leaping and bounding in great cata racts, and rushing in every direction to empty themselves into the Pacific anil AdanlicOceans. Beyond alow mountain l<> the southeast, the eye falls upon the spectacle of the steam ascending from the ’scape pipes of purgatory, (-utmeumes called gey -er.«.) io mingle with the clouds.— ‘Tins,’ exc auns the correspondent, in a burst of entnusiastic wonder ment, ‘this is the real end ot the woi Id. B As sometimes small evils, like in visible insects, inflict pains, and a single hair may slop a vast machine, the chief secret of comfort lies in not suffering trifles to vex one, but in prudently cultivating an under growth of small pleasures, since very few great ones are let on long leases. A happy pair made choice of the 29th of February as their marriage day, and were reminded by the offi ciating clergyman that their stiver wedding could be celebrated in ji«t one hundred years.
