IMPERIAL
WINE BITTERS
A RE COMPOSED OF A PURE and imadultered
Wine, combined with Barberry, Solomon's Seal
Comfrey, Wild Cherry Tree Bark, Spikenard, t'ammo-
mile Flowers and Gentian. They are manufactured
by Dr. Dods himself, who is au experienced aud suc
cessful Physician, and hence, should not be classed
amongtbe quaek nostrums, which floodilie country,
and against which the Medical profession are so justly
prejudiced. These truly valuable Bitters have not
been fairly before the public for one year, and yet
there is a heavy demand for them from all parts of
the Union.
Dr. Frink, No. 30 West 35tb Street, New Y'ork,
says:
I have been greatly benefitted by using Dr. Dials'
Wine Bitters, and am now using them freely aud suc
cessfully in my practice. As a medicine for Females
I consider them miequah-d.”
Dr. Guernsey, No. 18 West ‘23d Street, says:
‘‘I have used Dr. Dods' Wine lifters in my practice,
and in all eases where a tonic is required, I consider
them unsurpassed, and cheerfully recommend them as
a valuable Family Medicine.”
Dr. Meucliam.of Florida, says:
‘•For several years 1 suffered all the horrors of Cron-
icDyspepsia. 1 used all other remedies without avail.
I discarded prejudice and used Dr. Dods Wine bitters
which have greatly benefitted me, and I believe will
cure me.”
Mr. G- S. Weaver, of Albany, N. Y., says:
“My wife was sinking rapidly with consumytion; the
best physicians in Albanyand New York city' pronounc
ed Rer ease hopeless. She used Dr. Dods’ Wine Bit
ters; and is cured.”
Mr. J. B. Stunts,of Newark, N. J.,snvs:
“.My daughter was extremely ill; she lmd been at
tended by four of our best physicians; her disease was
lnflamation of the Bowels, which had produced ex
treme deliilitv. Her ease was considered hopeless by
a:! who saw'ni-i. .-, —a 1- i if., a-. - a:
Wine Bitters; she used them and is well.”
Mr. Brittain, editor of the Runner of Light, in Boston
savs:
:, I)r. J. Bnvee Dods’ Wine Bitters have cured me of
Piles of the worst and obstinate character.’'
A distinguished lady of Mobile, Alu., writing to a
feninle friend says:
“I would advise you to use Dr. J. Bovee Dods' Im
perial Wine Bitters. 1 have used them, and consider
them a blessing to our sex.”
We might write a small volume, and then would not
give one fourlh of the Testimonials in our possession, as
to the virtue of t hese Valuable Bitters, but we will on
ly say that they are approved of by onr best Physicians,
are doing much good in all parts of the country, and
earnestly entreat the afflicted to try them.

TOE BOOR IN THE HEART.
BY VIRGINIA F. TOWNSEND.
“She was a stern, hard woman. But far away
up a great many pairs of winding stairs in her heart
was u dour easily passed by. ami on that door was
wiiiten—WliM s N.' — C/iarh .< Dickens.
“And so it is with the drunkard. F n r up a great
many pairs of winding stairs in his heart is a door:
Rod on that door is written M \s. and we must knock
at it once, twice, seven times—yea. seventy times
seven, that it may open unto us."—John R. Gough.
He was an old innn—not so old either, for
the years of his life could not have wrink
led his forehead, and whitened his hair,
and the hands locked together ou the low
pine table did not tremble so with weak
ness and age; yet very old and very mis
erable looked the solitary occupant of
that narrow room, or entry, with its faded
red curtains, and its atmosphere rendered j
almost intolerable by the bar-room into
which it opened. A hat bearing unmis
takable evidence of long intimacy with
“brickbats and the gutter’’ maintained a
safe position on one side of the owner’s
head; and a pair of elbows thrust them
selves through liiscoat-sleeves, in rejoicing
consciousness that they could “afford to
j he out.” Add to this, reader, a pair of
j pants whose original color it would have
1 been a matter of time and study* to de
itei mine, and you Lave tbe tout ensemble of
I tbe, wretched being who now occupied tbe
} ly „fc ll,/. /inl,t C .na.iilin|, wkich Ilf. was
; allowed to frequent in all the village of
j Greenfield.
And yet that miserable, solitary, friend-
\ less creature, sitting there, half stupefied
with the effects of last night's revel, and
utterly unconscious that outside the May
morning has been born of God, with its
glorious birth-right of sunshine and dews
and bird songs, has a heart; and “far away
up a great many pairs of stairs in his heart
is a door; covered with cobwebs and dust,
and on that door is a word written, which
Time and sin have never Leen able to
efface; and that word is Man."
But nobody ever dreamed of this, and
people shook ; heir heads and said, Billy
Strong's case was a hopeless one. Had
not many kind hearted persons reasoned
with him earnestly on the evils of his ways;
had not the “Temperance men” gone to
him with the pledge, and promised hint
employment if he would sign it—and all
this had been utterly in vain.
Ah, none of them had grouped their
way up tbe winding stairs and read tbe
name on tbe bidden door there!
But, while tbe unhappy man set by tbe
pine table that morning, tbe bar-keeper
suddenly entered, followed by a lady with
soft hazel eyes, and a face that a child
would have gone to in any trouble.
The old man looked up with a vacant
gaze of wonder as tbe bar-keeper offered
the lady a chair and pointed to tbe occu
pant of the other, saying:
“That’s Bill Strong, madam,” and with
a lingering stare of surpiise and curiosity,
left tlie gentle woman alone with tbe as
tonished and now thoroughly sobered
man.
Tbe soft eyes of tbe lady wandered,
with a sad, pitying expression, over old
Bill’s features, and then iu a low, sweet
voice, sbe asked:
“Am 1 rightly informed ? Do l address
Mr William Strong?”
Alt! with these words the lady bad got
ten further up the winding stairs nearer
tbe bidden door, than all bad gone before
her.
“Yes that is my name ma’am” said old Bill
and lie glanced down at liu ulmbb^- nttiic
and actually tried to bide tbe elbow which
was peeping out the farthest, tor it was a
long time since be bad been addressed by
that name, and, somehow it sounded very
pleasant to him.
“I am very glad to meet you, Mr.
Strong,” said the lady, “I have heard my
father speak of you so often, and of the
days when you and he were boys together,
that I almost feel as if we were old acquain
tances. You surely cannot have forgotten
Charles Morrison?”
“No! no! Charlie and I used to be old
cronies,” said old Bill, with sudden anima
tion, and a light in his eyes such as bad
not been there for many a day except
when rum lent it a fitful brilliancy.
Ah! tbe lady did not know, as perhaps
the angels did, that she had mounted the
stairs, and was softly feeling for that un
seen door. So she went on:
“I almost feel as though I could see the
old spot upon which your homestead stood
Mr. Strong; I have heard my father de
scribe it so often. The hill with its crown
of old oaks, at the back of your house,
and the field of goldeu harvest-grain that
waved in the front. Then there was a
green grass plot before the front door, and
the huge old apple tree that threw its
shadows across it, and the great old-fash
ioned portico, and tlie grape vine that crept
around the pillars, and the rose-bush that
looked in at the bed-room window, and the
spring that went flashing and singing
through the bed of mint at the side of the
house.”
Old Bill moved uneasily in his chair,
and muscles around liis mouth twitched oc
casionally; hut unmindful of this, in the
same low sweet tones, the lady kept on:
“Many and many were the hours, so
father would say, Willie and I, used to
pass under the shadow of that old apple-
tree, playing at hide-and-seek, or rolling
and tumbling about on the grass, telling
each other the things we would certainly
do when we became men; and then the
sunset sets its cap of gold on the top of the
oaks, lean see Willie’s mother standing in
the front door, with her white cap and
check apron, and the pleasant smile that
alway’s hovered around her lips, and hear
her cheerful voice calling, ‘Gome hoys,
coine to supper.’”
One after another the big, warm, bles
sed tears came rolling down Old Bill’s pale
cheeks. Ah! the lady had found the door
then.
“I was always at home at Willie’s, fath
er would say, and used to have my fresh
milk and bread, too; and when this had
disappeared, Willie would draw his stool
to his mother’s feet, lay his head on her
lap, and she would tell us some very
pleasantstory.it might be of Joseph or
David, or some good child who afterward
became a great man; and then she would
pait Willie’s brown curls from his forehead
and in a voice I never can forget, say,
“Promise me, Willie, when you go out in
the world and its temptations, and your
mother is laid down in the church-yard
yonder, promise me, child, that her pray-
eis and and her memory shall keep you
from all evil ways.”
“And Willie would lift his laughing
bine eyes to her face and say, “I’ll be a
first rate man; don’t be afraid, mother.”
“And then, after we had said our pray
ers, we would go tc bed as happy as the
birds that went to their nests in the old
apple branches by the window, and just
as we were sinking tosleep, we would hear
a soft foot-fall on the stairs, and a loving
lace would bend over to see if we were
nicely tucked up. It is a long time, father
would say, after a pause, but sure 1 am
that he has never fallen into any evil
ways. The memory of his mother would
keep him from that.”
Rap. rap, rap! went the words of the la
dy at the door of that old man’s heart.—
Crack, crack, crack! went the door on its
rustj* hinges; while far above them both,
the angels of God held their breath and
listened. But the lady could only see the
hubuued man bury his face in his hands,
and while his whole frame shook like an
aspen leaf, she beard him mnrmur, amid
childlike sobs—
“My, mother! Oh my mother!”
And she knew that the tears that were
washing those wrinkled cheeks were wash
ing out also many a dark page in the re
cord of Old Bill’s past life; so with a silent
prayer of thankfulness, she resumed—
“But there was one scene my father
loved to talk of better than all the rest.
It was on tbe morning you were married,
Mr. Strong. It was enough to do one’s
eyes good, he used to say, to look at them
as they walked up the old church-side—
he, with his proud manly tread, and she a
del ieate, fragile creature, fair as the orange
blossoms that trembled in her hair, I re
member how clear and firm his voice soun
ded through the old church as he promised
to love, protect, and cherish the fair girl at
his side; aud I know as he looked down
fondly upon her, that the very winds of
heaven should not visit her face tooroueli-
IV. .-mo ~ v ss-.i b r
a home made very bright by watchful af
fection, and of a dark-eyed boy and a fair
haired girl, who came after a while to
gladden it: and then you know, he removed
to the West and lost sight of you, Mr.
Strong.”
Once again the lady paused, for the ago
ny of the mau before her was fearful to be
hold, aftd when she spoke again it was in a
lower and mournful tone—
“I promised my father previous to liis
death, that if I ever visited his native
State I would seek out his friend. But
when I enquired of you they unfolded a
terrible story to me. Mr. Strong; they told
me of a broken, de.solate household; of the
gentle uncomplaining wife, who went down
with a prayer on her lips for the erring
husband, broken-hearted to the grave; and
of the fair-haired girl they in a little while
placed by Iter side. Oh, it is a sad, sad
story, 1 have heard of my father’s old
friend!”
“It was I! It was I! that did it all! I
killed them!” said Old Bill, in a voice
hoarse with emotion, as he lifted his head
from his clasped hands and looked upon
tlie lady, every feature wearing such a look
of agony and remorse that she shuddered
to behold. Wide, wide open stood the
door then, and that lady hastened to pass
in. A small hand was laid gently upon
Old Bill’s aim, and a sweet voice mur
mured—
Even for all this there is redemption.—
In the name of jour mother that loved you
in the name of your dying wife and the
child that sleeps beside her, 1 ask you will
you sign the pledge?
“I will,” said Old Bill; and brought
down his Land with such a force on the
pine table that its rheumatic limbs hard
ly regained their equilibrium and he eager
ly seized the pen and pledge the lady
placed before him, aud when he returned
them to her, the name of William Strong
!aj- in broad legible characters upon tlie
paper.
There was an expression, ludicrous from
its extreme curosity, on the bar-keeper’s
tclCC* «18 l llC Irttlj paeeoJ *Ijronpfli
the “shop” after her long interview with
Old Bill; and the expression was in no de
gree lessened when, in a few moments af
ter, Old Bill followed her without stopping
as usual, to take his “first glass.” And he
never passed over that threshold again.
And now, reader, you, whose heart
throbs with tenderness and reverence for
humanity, fallen, despised, miserable
though it may he, remember that some
where in the heart of your fellow-man is a
door, which, though closed for many years
will surely open to the hand that knocks
in kindness, and the voice that calls in
love.
From the Journal of Commerce.
The Sentiment nf Virginia.
Messrs. Editors:---Permit me to correct
an error into which I preceive the North
ern journals have fallen, in regard to the
tone of feeling in Virginia, as manifested at
the late*election for the Convention. As
an instance of the error to which a refer, I
cite the following paragraph from the news
columns of the New York Herald of Tues
day, the 25th inst.
“The election of delegates to the Vir
ginia State Convention look place yester
day. The reports that have reached ns
indicate that the people have declared
against secession.”
If Republican or country editors had
made this statement I should not have
been surprised; but the Herald ought to
have been better informed regarding the
true state of feeling in Virginia. The er
ror is not merely a mistake—a mistate-
ment; it is a direct contradiction and athe-
sis of tlie fact; it is putting sweet for bitter
and light for darkness; and is therefore cal
culated to mislead those who have no oth
er sources of knowledge.
It is true, that for the sake of conve
nience, most of the Virginia papers have
distinguished the candidates in their re
ports. Lj 7 the terms Union and Secession.—
These terms, however, though perhaps not
well chosen,—are well understood in this
latitude—the latter to denote those who
favor immediate secession, without subse
quent reference to the people; and the for
mer to designate such as would advocate,
with equal decision and earnestness, se
cession before the fourth of March, contin
gent upon the exhaustion and failure of all
honorable means of conciliation and com
promise ad interim. Only in this restric
ted and comparative sense can the word
Union be pioperly applied to the candi
dates in the late canvass, or, indeed, to des
ignate any other person in our city of 20,-
000, beyond the number that could be ac
commodated in the arm-chairs of the great
luxurous parlor at the Astor House; and
the proportion would probably be found
about the same throughoutthe State. No;
Virginia, conservative as she is, and much
as she desires the restoration and preser
vation of the Union upon honorable and
equal terms—is, upon any other conditions
for prompt and uncompromising secession.
Nous cerrons. Rile upon her Pelion heaped
upon Ossa, et alsos monies exstructors, and
you cannot keep her down when her pa
tiently delayed hour for acton comes.—
Therefore, let not our Northern friends de
ceive themselves with the vain hope that
Virginia is “against secession.” This un
belief of Southern will, and purpose and
power, is a chronic sin of the North, and
like the same sin in other quarter; is in
danger of bringing upon them incalculable
and remediless evils. May a kind Provi
dence prevent. This, indeed, is our only
hope.—“The Lord God Omnipotent reign-
eth.” L.

Jefferson Davis.—Jefferson Davis, who
has just been chosen President of the
Southern Confederacy, was bom June 3,
1808, in what is now Todd county, Ken
tacky. While yet an infant, his fatl er
Samuel Davis, a Revolutionary soldier in
Georgia, removed to Mississippi, and set
tled in Wilkinson county. Jefferson Da
vis was sent at the usual age to Transyl
vania College, Ky„ from which he was
transferred in 1824 to the Military Acade
my |t West Point, which he left in 1828
with the Brevet appointment of Second
Lieutenant. He was in the army about
seven years, and distinguished himself in
active service on the Western frontiers in
the Black Hawk and other Indian wars.
With the rank of First Lieutenant of
Dragoons, he resigned out of the army in
1835. He then returned to Mississippi,
and became a cotton planter in Warren
county, where he lived in retirement until
abont 1844, when he first took an active
part in politics as a Demorrat.—Charleston

the following card:
To the Public.—The numerous assaults
which have been made on my character for
several weeks past in the newspapers, and
which, from their nature and source, could
not be replied to, have, at length, culmina
ted in the report of the Committee of the
House, submitted to that body j-esterday.
This report is an ex parte anangement of
my official conduct, on ex parte testimo
ny taken in secret in my absence. It is a
labored attempt, by inuendo, and by no
means of circumstances in the absence of
proof, to fix upon me some undefined com
plicity with a robbery of the Government
of which I had no knowledge, until abont
the time it was publicly disclosed.
Now that these charges have been put
jnEn form axiri Gnianated from a responsi
ble source, 1 pledge myselt To meet tuem
by a full response, as soou as the report of
this Committee, with the evidence taken*
has been printed, and can be examined.

The New Sugar Crop.—We have re
ceived letters front Cardenas, Colon, Cien-
fugos and Tagna, which state that the ef
fects of the long continued drough in those
districts are already severely felt, and from
verbal accounts it appears that the same is
the case through the Island. For want of
rain the cane that was planted does not
grow, and large portions of the fields pre
sent a poor appearance. In some of those
regions the falling off of the crop is expec
ted to be from 15 to 20 per cent, less than
the estimates made in the early part cf
December, and should tbe dry weather
continue much longer, it is feared that the
aggregate through the Island will perhaps
exceed the higest figure. In the vicinity
of Cienfuegos, it is estimated that the crop
will only be 75 per cent, of what it was
last year.
Since writing the above we have seen a
letter published in the Diario de la Mari
na dated at Cienfuegos on the 22nd Jan
uary, from which we make the following
extract:
“In regard to the crop on the Sugar
plantations in this neighborhood, the news
is far from satisfactory. Tbe yield on tbe
first class estates will, according to tbe
opinion of competent persons and also from
what I am able to judge from personal ob
servation, be at least one-fourth less than
what it was last year, owing to the scarci
ty of rain during the month of October,
and the long continued drough which we
have experienced ever since. The enor
mous quantity of Sugar cane that is being
gathered in the grinding houses is aston
ishing, and then to see the small quantity
of syrup that is extracted from those im
mense piles of cane, shows, at once, that
there is little hope for any thing like a fair
yield of the crop.”—Cubian Messenger

Collnftsed —TIid (rrcat abolition hnnso
of Bowen, Holmes & Co., part owners of
Henry Ward Beecher’s newspaper—the
Independent—have faild, The Day Book
says:
The members of the above firm are
shining lights in Beecher’s Church. They
have carried a high hand against the sta
bility of our Union for years, and having
assisted all they could to dissolve it by
their infamous priut, the Independent,
now propose to pay off their creditors in
its stock! This is decidedly cool. This
revelation also shows how Abolition pa
pers are supported. It seems that $300,-
000 have been invested in this concern,
and sunk, for it is not worth three cents to
day! Recently they have been getting
subscriptions to it by offering a Webster’s
Dictionery for every three subscribers for
warding $6. Now, at wholesale, the dic
tionery mu6t cost them at least $4 50,
leaving them 50 cents per year for each
subscriber—not enough to pay for the
white paper on which their Abolition or
gan is printed. The creditors, therefore,
who are offered 30 percent, in the stock
of tbe Independent will readily see how
valuable it is.
Beecher’s church seems to be in a bad
way. With the failure of Bowen, Holmes
& Co., and Freeland, Squires & Co., its
two greatest props have been knocked
out. Not long since, however, their pas
tor exhorted all his followers to feel thank
ful that they lived m times when they had
the opportunity to make great sacrifices
for the cause of “negro freedom.” We
trust the glory of their great cause is suffi
cient consolation in this the hour of their
trial. How utterly worthless are wealth
and all sublonary possessions, as long as
there is a negro on the American conti
nent safe from the tender mercies of the
gallant King of Dahomey/
The Rhode Islander's Mistake.—The
following amusing incident we find in the
Louisville Journal.
A Rhode Islander traveling out West,
after taking several drinks, went on board
the steamboat for Cincinnati, and was as
tonished that the clerk only took five cents
for his fare. Soon after another five cents
was called for, and the same thing repeat
ed several times. At last he asked “is
(hie) this a danger (hie) ons boat!” “By
no means,” said the clerk, “bran new.”—-
“Then, (hie) why do (hie,) don’t yon col
lect all the fa (hie) hair at once, and not
bother a fel (hie) her for it every mile as
it comes due?” “Really, where do you
think yon are going?” ‘Cincin (hie) hinnati.’
“Cincinnati,” said the conductor. “Thia
is tbe ferry-boat, and all this afternoon
you have been tiding to and tro between
New Albany and Portland.”
———
While walking down College street last
Sunday evening. “The Subscriber” came
up with two negro boys, “aged respec
tively ten and fifteen years.” The youn
ger one carried an apple in his hand, and
tbe elder one was using all bis eloquence
to obtain “jes one bite” of it.
“Well,” said tbe younger one finally,
“I’ll give you jes one bite but don’t you
take no more’* jes one bite.”
1 be larger one took the apple, opened
a month that would have been creditable
to a hundred-and-fifty pound cat-fish, and
brought it down on tbe fruit, leaving
a very small share on the outside.
“Good God, Jim!” said the little one
looking up at the operation with astonish
ment, “yon take the apple and give me the
bite! ”— Nashville Patriot-
