Sherry Wine Tonic Bitters!!
This Eluant Stomach Bitters,
Composed Entiuki.y of Roots and Herbs, and
compounded with the best of Sherry Wink, requires
no panegyric to establish its frame. Its increasing de
mand for the past seven years throughout the United
States in private familes, and all the principal Hotels,
being a sufficient test of its efficacy in restoring the tone
aud nervous energy of the various organs contributing
to digestion. Possessing the valuable properties of an
Alterative, Antispeptie and Aromatic Bitter, it gently
excites the secretions of the gaatiejuice, invigorates the
spirits, removes from the blood the germs ot disease,
and increases the nervous energy of all the vital powers.
Its effects during the rage of the cholera in 1819 were
most extraordinary. As a preventive and a cure it
proved alike reliable; and the testimony in favor is of the
most incontrovertible and emphatic character. It is
warmly recommended by the faculty, whose opinions of
its merits is corroborated by fact which cannot be -sha
ken or disputed. The proprietor does not offer tilt in to
the public ns a cure for every disease which flesh is heir
to; but simply aud with the full assurance,
Tiiatitisthe Best Preparation icier Offered
to the Public as a Purifier of the System.
But it is the condition of the stomach and the system
generally—not the name of the disease—which must be
taken into consideration in using it, as there is scarcely
a single complaint in which it cannot be advantageously
used. It is especially recommended to ladies of delicate
habit, as an in valuable tonic and restorative to all the
exigencies peculiar to the weakersex, and affords great
relief in eases when taken to relieve uneasiness after
meals. It is pleasant to the taste, efficacious in its design,
and no person, after giving it a fair trial, will ever De
without them as a preventive, and also a remedy for the
above complaints, so long as money can buy them.
Prepard only by DR. LEWIS WHEELER, Drug-
ist, Boston, and for sale by the Druggists generally,

Leaning Towards Each Other.
At the Knight Templar dinner, on the occasion
of the late Statue Inauguration, at Richmond, Mr.
Robert Mokriss of Kentucky, being called
upon, recited the following admirable poem:
The jolts of life are many,
As we dash along ihe track;
Its ways are rough arid rugged,
And our bones they sorely rack.
We’re tossed about,
We’re in and out,
We make a mighty pother;
Far less would be
Our pains, if we
Would lean towards each other.
Behold you loving couple,
Just started for a life!
What care they for Jolting,
That happy man r nd wife!
The cars may jump,
Their heads may bump.
And jostle one another,
They only smile.
And try the while,
To lean towards each other!
Woe to the luckless traveler.
Who journeys all alone;
Well said the wise Solomon,
“Two better is than one.”
For when the ground’s
Most rugged found,
And greatest the pain and pother;
He cannot break
The sorest ache
By leaning on another.
There is not one in ten thousand
Of all the cares we mourn,
But what, if ’twas divided,
Might easily be borne.
If we but learn,
When fortunes turn,
To share them with a Brother,
We d prove how good
Our Brother hood,
By leaning towards each other.
How He Came (o be Harried.
It may be funny, but I’ve done it. I’ve
got a rib and baby. Shadows departed
—oyster stews, brandy cock-tails; segar-
boxes boot-jacks, absconding shirt buttons
whist and dominoes. Shadow's present
hoop skirts, band-boxes, ribons, gaiters
long stoekings, juvenile dresses, tin trum
pets, little willow chairs, cradles, bibs, pap
sugar teats, paregoric, hive syrup, castor
oil, Godfrey’s cordial, soothing syrup rhu
barb senna, salts, squills and doctor’s bill
Shadow's future-^more nine pound babies
more hive syrup, etc., etc* I’ll just tell
you bow I got caught. I was always the
durndest, most tea custard, bashful fellow
you ever did see; it w'as kinder in my line
to be taken with the shakes every time I
saw a pretty girl approaching me, and I’d
cross the street any time rather than face
one; it wasn’t because I didn’t like the
critters, for if I was behind a fence, look
ing through a knot bole, I couldn’t look
at one long enough. Well my sister Lib
gave a party one night, and I stayed away
from home because I was too bashful to
face the music. I bung around tbe house
whistling “Old Dan Tucker,” dancing to
keep my feet warm, watching tbe beads
bobbing up and down beltind the window-
curtains, and wishing tbe thundering par
ty would break up so I could get to my
room. I smoked a bunch of segars, and
as it w-as getting late and mighty uncom
fortable, I concluded to shin up tbe door
post. No sooner said than done, and
soon found myself snug in bed. “Now,”
says I, “let her rip. Druce till your wiud
gives out!” And cuddling under quilts
Morpheus grabbed me. I was dreaming
ofsoft-shell crabs aud stewed tripe, and
was having a good time of it. when some
body knocked at the aour and w-oke me
up. “Rap” again- I laid low. “Rap,
rap, rap,!” Then I hoard a whispering,
and! knew there was a whole raft of girls
outside. “Rap, rap” then Lib sings out,
‘Jack are you there!” “Yes,” says I.
Then came a roar of laughter. “Let us
in,” says site. “I won’t” says I; “can’t
you let a fellow alone?” “Are you abed?
says she. “Iam” says I “Get up,’, says
she. “I won’t” says I. Then another
laugh. By thunder! I began to get riled.
“Get out you petticoated scarecrow!” I
cried, “cant you get a beau without haul
ing a fellow- out of bed? I won’t go home
with you—I won’t—so you may clear
out!” And throwing a boot at tbe door, I
felt better But presently, oh! mortal but
tons! I beard a still, small voice, very
much like sister Lib’s audit said; “Jack,
you’ll have to get up, for all the girl’s
things are in there!” Oh! Lord, w-liat a
pickle! Think of me in bed, all covered
with shawls, muffs, bonnets and cloaks,
and tw enty girls outside tbe door waiting
to get in tberoom! If I had stopped to
think, I should have pancaked on tbe
spot. As it was, I rolled out among the
bonnet ware and ribbons in a hurry.—
Smash!” went the millinery in every di
rection. I bad to dress in the dark—for
there was a crack in the door, and the
girls will peep, and the way I fumbled
about was death on straw hats. The
moment came. I opened the door and
found myself right among the women.—
“Oh my Leghorn,’’cried one. “My dear,
darling winter velvet,” cried another: and
they pitched. They pulled me this way
and that, boxed my ears, and one bright
eyed little piece—Sal, her name was —
put her arms around my neck, and kissed
me right on my lips. Human nature
couldn’t stand that, and I gave her as
good as she sent. It was the first time I
got a taste, and it was powerful good. I
believe I could have kissed that gal from
Julius Oresar to the 4th of July. “Jack,”
6aid she, “we are sorry to disturb you. hut
won’t you see me home?’, “les,” said I,
I will.” I did do it, and had another
smack at the gate, too. After that, we
took o kinder turtlc-doving after each
other, both of us sighing like a barrel of
new cider, when we were away from each
other.
It w-as at the close of a glorious summer
day—the sun was setting behind a distant
hog pen—the chickens were going to roost
—the hull-frogs were commencing their
evening songs—the polly-wogs, in their
native mud-puddles, were preparing them
selves for the shades of night—and Sal
and myself sat upon an antiquated back
log listening to the music of nature, 6uch
as tree-toads, roosters, aud grunting pigs,
and now- and then the mellow music of a
jackass was wafted to our ears by the gen
tle zephyrs that sighed among the mullin
stalks that came heavy laden with the de
licious odor of hen rcosts and yig-stys.—
The last lingering rays of the setting sun,
glancing from the brass buttons of a soli
tary horseman, shown through a knot-hole
in the hog-pen full in Sal’s face dying
her hair with an orange peel hue, and show
ing off my thread b ire coat to bad advan
tage. One of my arms «*as around Sal s
waist, my hand resting on the«mall of her
hack—she was toying with my aubnrn
locks of jet black hue—she was a most
gone and I was ditto. She looked like a
grasshopper dying with the hiccups, and 1
felt like a mud turtle choked with a cod
fish ball. “Sal,” says I, in a voice musi
cal as the notes of a dying swan, “will you
have me?” She turned her eyes heaven
ward, clasped me by the hand, had an at
tack of the heaves and blind staggers, and
with a sigh that drew her shoe-string to
her palate, said: “Yes!” She gave clear
out, then, and squatted in mv lap—she
corkscrewed and 1 curflumuxed and rolled
in it. I hugged her until I broke my sus
penders, and her breath smelt of onions
which she ate the w eek before. Well, to
make a long story short, she set the day,
and we practiced for four weeks every
night, how we would walk into the room
to be married, till we got so we could walk
as graceful as a couple of Muscovy ducks!
The night, the company, and the minister
came, the signal was given, and arm in arm
we marched through the crowded hall.—
We were just entering the parlor door,
when down I went, kerslap on the oilcloth
pulling Sail after me. Some enssed fellow
dropped a banana skin on the floor and
floored me. It split an awful hole in my
cassimers right under my dress coat tail.
It w-as too late to hack out so clapping my
hands over it, we marched in and were
spliced,and taking a seat I watched the
kissing bride operation. My groomsman
was tight, and he kissed her till I jumped
up to take a slice, when, oh, horror! a little
six year old imp had crawled up behind
me, and pulling my shirt through the hole
in my pants had pinned it to the cliair
and in jumping up, I displayed to the ad
miring gaxe of the astonished multitude

Spring Fashion in Pari*.
The season of Lent has put an end, for
the present, to tbe gaieties, and our mod
istes and mantua-makers are now occupied
in preparing day toilettes, costumes for the
streets, for morning concerts, and for the
small reunions which enliven this season
of penitential exercises. Madame Faucet,
No. 4 Rue du Menars, makes as walking
dresses many black or dark green, brown,
blue, or violet silks, covered with velvet
spots, and ornamented with velvet bands.
The high body is buttoned down the front
with small velvet buttons: The waist,
without basques, is slightly pointed and
rounded off in front of the waist. Two vel
vet bias pieces begin from the and form
reverse up the body, and are continued
down behind. The upper edge aloue of these
velvets are sewed down to the body. The
sleeves are cut straigh* way of the stuff; it is
short and rounds off gracefully, being long
est behind; two velvets laid on flat trim the
bottom of the sleeves, with an interval
between. The inside of the sleeve is lined
with white silk, and trimed at the edge
with a narrow fluted ruche, part of which
projects beyond the edge. There are two
skirts; the upper one or tunic is deco
rated on each side with two black-velvet
pyramids, four inches wide at the edge of
the skirt, and placed about six inches apart;
tbe under and long skirt is trimmed the
same as the tunic, and bordered at the
bottom by a velvet turned over the edge.
The fashionable bonnets for the early
spring months—March and April—are
those of crape and lace. Our favorite
modiste’ Madam Alphonsine, 12 Rue do
Helder, mingles with the crape and lace
velvet trimmings anil hands, which give a
more wintery aspect to the bonnet, and
renders them more in unison with the cold
winds and snowy temper-ature from which
we are suffering. For full dress, white
royal velvet, with bias pieces of plaid vel
vet round the front and curtain, are much
in vogue. The crown of white royal vel
vet is surrounded by a plaid cord, from
which hang two tassels ; the inside is of
white blonde, with a flat bandeau of plaid
velvet, and is completed by a cord and
tassel. The celebrated perfumer, Faguer,
83 Rue de Richelieu, has lately offered to
his numerous customers several varieties
of gloves. Those of Spanish leather em
broidered, and with a cuff to protect the
wrist from cold or the sun, are a novelty,
both useful and ornamental. Those of the
finest peau de chevreau are cut so as to fit
perfectly the hand, and sewed with ex
treme neatness, a rare and precious quali
ty, and necessary to the beauty and dura
bility of a glove,

How to Live Cheaply.
We have not reached that question be
fore, in our social history; but now it looks
as if the subject was going to be pretty
throughly discussed, and would finally find
a proper solution. It is time, and high
time, that we should begin to study econo
my. We are the most extravagant people
on the face of the earth. The Providence
Journal has an excellent article to this
point, in which it says that conspicuous
among the things in which they heat all
creation, is the manner in which the Ame
rican people waste their food. The waste
of an American kitchen would feed a
Freneh family of equal size and equal
station in life. Laboring men throw away
in extravagant superfluity the means of
making old age independent and comforta
ble, and men of large incomes waste in pro
portion
At the present prices, about eighty cents
a w'eek, judiciously expended, will supply
a strong laboring man with a sufficiency of
wholesome aud palatable food; such as In
dian meal, pork, beans, salt fish, meat soup,
which properly varied and properly cook
ed, are good enough for anybody in hard
times. Half the butter that is eaten is
not only unwholesome, but were not the
appetite perverted by the constant use of
it, would he disagreeable to the taste.
Men get accustomed to it as they do tobac
co and rum.
Too little attention has been paid to
the economy of food in our country. Scien
tific men do not appreciate its importance,
aud sometimes feel that it is beneath them,
as though it was not one of the most im
portant subjects in the philosophy of life.
But he who shows how greater nourish
ment may he obtained out of a potato, or
how bread may he prepared so as to give
the greatest sustenance and with the least
danger to health, renders a greater service
than he who makes an indefinite number
of political platforms.
These things are worth heeding now.—,
They will bring peace to many a poor
man’s mind who hardly sees his way
through the world, and encourage many
whose hope had begun to run low. We
must all try to live more sensibly and more
prudent.
The Winter in Europe.—Contrary to
the experience of early midwinter on this
side of the Atlantic, those seasons in
Europe have this year been remarkably
severe, even in rather Southern latitudes.
In the Island of Malta, which is not far
from the African coast, the snow was
several feet deep, aud this was the first
snow storm of consequence there since
1812, a year that will be ever memorable
for the disastrous Russian campaign of the
first Napoleon. At Constantinople, up to.
the 3d ult., snow fell for fifteen days in
succession, and so terrible a winter had not
heen experienced in Turkey for twenty
years. The navigation with Odessa was
entirely closed, and even the Creek Islands
were clothed in white. For the first time
in a century the river Po, in Italy, haa
been frozen tight, so that men, horses and
wehicles passed ove* its surface. In
Smyrna; generally so free from winter, the
frost and snow have occasioned much in
convenience and suffering. In many oft* 1 ®
towns of Turkey and Greece the roofs of
houses had fallen in from the weight of
snow accumulated upon them. Ihis re
minds us of the records of former ages,
when, between the years 1000 and U0J,
tkto Tiber and even the Adriatic bea were
several times frozen hard—the latter near
Venice and Trieste.
