This Elegant Stomach Bitters, Composed Entirely of Roots and Herbs, and compounded with the best of Sherry Wine, requires no panegyric to establish its frame. Its increasing de mand for the past seven years throughout the United States in private familes, aud ail the principal Hotels, being a sufficient test of its efficacy in restoring the tone and nervous energy of the various organs contributing to digestion. Possessing the valuable properties of au Alterative, Antispeptic and Aromatic Bitter, it gently excites the secretions of the gastie juice, invigorates the spirits, removes from the blood the genus of disease, aud increases the nervous energy of all the vital powers. Its effects during the rage of the cholera in 1849 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 them to the public as a cure for every disease which flesh is heir to; but simply and with the full assurance, That it is the Best Preparation ever Offered to the Public as a Purifier of the System. But itis 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, ns an invaluable tonic and restorative to all the exigencies peculiar tothe weaker sex, and affords great relief in cases when taken to relieve uneasiness after meals. It is pleasant to the taste, efficacious in its design, and no person, after giving it a foil' trial, will ever be without them ns a preventive, ami also a remedy for the above complaints, so long as money can buy them.

Over the river they beckon to me— Loved ones wlio've crossed to the farther side; The gleam of their snowy robes I see. But iheir voices aro lost by the dashing-tide. There’s one with ringlets of sunny gold, And eyes, the reflection of Heaven’s own bltto; He crossed in the twilight grey and cold, Aud the pale mist hid him from mortal view. We saw not the Angels that met him there, The gate of the city we could not sec; Over the river, over the river, My brother stands waiting to welcome me! Over the river the boatman pale Carried another, the household pet; Her brown curls waved iu the gentle gale— Darling Minnie! I see her yet! She crossed ou her bosom her dimpled hands, And fearlessly entered the phantom bark; We watched it glide from the silver sands. And all our sunshine grow strangely dark, We know she is safe on the farther side, Where all the ransomed and angels be: Over the river, the mystic river, My childhood's idol is waiting for me. For none return from those quiet shores Who cross with the boatman cold aud pale; We hear the dip of trie golden oars, Aud lo! they have passed from our yearning hearts; They cross the stream and arc gone for aye; We may not sunder the veil apart That hides from our vision the gates of day. We only know that our harks no more May sail with us over life's stormy sea. Yet somewhere, 1 know ou the unseen shore, They watch and beckon and wait for me! And I sit and think when the sunset’s gold Is flushing river, and hill and shore, I shall one day stand by the water cold, And list for the sound of the boatman’s oar, 1 shall watch for the gleam of the flapping sail; I shall hear the boat as it gains the strand; I shall pass from sight with the boatman pale. To the better shore of the spirit land. I shall know the loved who have gone before, And joyfully sweet will the meeting be, When over the river, the peaceful river, The Angel of Death shall carry me. [Peterson's Magazine. ■♦— BOSKETS. Of all the charms dear woman wears, Of all her many traps and snares, For real effect there's naught compares With a truly pretty bonnet; For when and wherever you chance to meet One that is perfectly modest and neat, You may depend 'tis a proof complete That the head has more in than on it. No matter whether she’s pretty or not, How much or how little money she's got, Whcthershe lives iu mansion or cot, ’Tis a fact, depend upon it: The woman to make a man happy thro’ life, To make a model mother and wife, Is one who, scorning this milliner strife, Wears a plain and tastetul bonnet. Now a bonnet of genuine beauty and grace, '■ Worn on the head in its proper place, Shaddowing faintly the wearer’s face, “Is a thing fora song ora sonnet;” But one of these gay aud gaudy tilings. Made up of rainbows and butterfly wings. A mixture of flowers, ribbons, aud strings, Is dreadful, depend on it. A vulgar mass of “fuss and feathers,"’ A little of everythi g thrown together, As if by a touch of windy weather. A wretched conglomeration— A sort of cup to catch the hair, Leaving tho head to “go it hare,” A striking example of “Nothing to Wear,” is this bonnet abomination. It makes a woman look brazen and bold, Assists her in catching nothing hut cold, Is bad ou the young, absurd on the old, And deforms what it ought to deck; For look at her face, no bonnet is there, See at the side it lianas by a Hair; View it behind, and you will declare That the creature has broken her neck. No matter where you may chance to be, No matter how many women you see, A promiscuous crowd ora certain she, You may fully depend upon it, That a gem of the very rarest kind, A thing most difficult to find, A pet for which we long have pined, is a perfect “love of a bonnet.” Old Husbands and Young Wives. I was an old fool! Yes—I was an old fool; that’s all there is about it. I ought to have known better; she was not to blame, poor thing; she is but a child yet; and these baubles pleased her ambitious mother’s eye. It was not the old man, but his money—his money—I might have known it. May and December—pshaw: How could I ever have believed that Mary Terry could love an old fellow like me/ And Mark Ware surveyed himself in the large parlor mirror. See! it reflects a portly old man of sixty with ruddy face, snow-white hair, and eyes from which the light of youth had long since departed. And yet there is fire in that old man’s veins too; see how he strides across the carpet, ejaculating with fresh emphasis, “Yes, 1 was an old fool! an old fool. But 1 will be kind to her; I am not the man to tyrannize over a young girl, because her mother took her out of the nursery to make her my wife. I see how it is not in reason for a young girl like her to stay contentedly at home with my frosted head and gouty feet. Poor little Mary! No—I’ll not punish her because she cannot love me; she shall have what she wants, and go where she likes; her mother is only to<i proud to trot her out as the wife of the rich Mark Ware. If that will make them both happy, let them do it; may be— and here Mark Ware paused—may be, after sbe Las seen what the Dead Sea apple—the world—is made of, she will come back and love the old man a little— may be—who knows/ No woman who is believed in and well treated, ever makes a bad wife; there never was a bad wife yet, but there was a bad husband first, that’s gospel—Mark’s gospel anyhow, and Mark Ware is going to act upon it. Mary shall go to the hall to-night with her mother, and 1 will stay at home and nurse my patience and gouty leg. There’s no evil in her; she is as pure as a lilly, aud if she wants to see the world, why, she shall see it; aud though 1 cannot go dancing around with her, I will never dim her bright eyes —no—no! “That will do, Tiffy; another pin in this lacc, now move that rose in my hair a little to the left; so, that will do.” “That will do.” Tame praise for that small Grecian head, with its crown of braided tresses. For the full, round throat, and snowy sloping shoulders; for the round ivory arms and the tapering, rose tipt fingers; for the lovely bosom and dainty waist. Well might such beauty dazzle Mark Ware’s eyes till he failed to discern the distiance between May and December. Mark Ware had rightly read Mary. She was guileless aud pure, as he had said, and child as she was, there was that in her man ner before which the most audacious eye would have shrunk abashed. When the youug bride had realized the importance of those words she had been made to utter, “till death do us part,” she looked forward with shuddering horror to the long monotonous weary years before her. Her house seemed a prison, and Mark Ware the keeper. Its very splendor oppressed her. And she chafed and fret ted in her gilded fetters, while her restless heart cried out. “Anywhere bat home!” Must she sit there in her prison-house day after day, listening only to the repinings of her own troubled heart? Had God made her beauty to fade in the stifling atmos phere of darkened parlors, listening to the complaints of querulpus old age? Every pulse of her heart rebelled. How could her mother have thus sold her? How could Mark Ware have so uumagnanimously ac cepted the compulsory sacrifice? Why not have shown her the world, aud let her choose for herself? Oh, anywhere, any where from such a home? There was no lack of invitations abroad, for Mary had flashed across the fashion able horizon like some bright comet, eclipsing all the reigning beauties. No ball, no party, no dinner was thought a nccess without hers Night after night,
