LOVE IN THE COUNTRY.
The moment that she looked up from her
flrawiug 1 remembered her at once by her eyes.
It was lull three years since I had seen her, dur
ing a tour in vacation, on entering the stage
from Millville to Little Valley, a station on the
New York Central Railroad. She was then a
mere girl in her teens, hut far more interesting
t han misses generally are at that dubious period;
_a curly-headed, rosy creature, arch 1111(1 good
with a pair of blue eyes which I must
WP'Q>\nr was'extremely full and deep ; the
that of a prolonged oval; and usually
seeming half shut, and shaded with dark eye
lashes, they gave a sly or pensive expression to
the curl of a red upper lip ; but if aroused by
surprise or mirth, they opened out beneath her
arching brows with such a brightness of blue as
was quite dazzling. They were eyes to sit and
gaze, upon, as you gaze upon the sky, for hours.
•She was traveling, tinder her father’s escort, to
New York, to lhiish her education there; and
as there were no passengers in the stage beside
ourselves, and before reaching Little Valley I
was already on good terms with both. The sire
was a gentlemanly old mau, a circuit judge i
jfcpnjeetured. Alter leaving the stage at Little
Valley we all took seats together in the ears,
and were whirled on toward Albany. As it
grew dusk, the shyness of the little maid gave
way to the vivacity of her spirits ; and as papa al
ready gave tokens of drowsiness, she gradually
addressed herself tq_me, in that vein ol innocent
communicativeness which Hows so beautifully
from young lips, and which is one of the first of
their utterances that the world perverts. I list
ened as though f had been a friend of ten years’
standing, while she prattled on of her school
friends, of her flowers and pigeons at home in
Herkimer county, of her joys and sorrows upou
leaving it, of her curiosity as to her new com
panions, etc., so that in a very short time 1 knew
most, of her little history. When it grew chill
at night I folded niy traveling cloak around her,
and observed, almost with fondness, her little
head begin to nod and tier narrative to falter ;
until at length, quite wearied, she fell into a
slumber so deep that it was not disturbed when,
at a slight jolt which occurred, I laid her head
on my shoulder, and, passing my arm around
her, kept it in that position. On reaching Al
bany, after crossing the ferry, we secured our
scats on the Hudson river route, and my young
fellow-traveler resumed, almost unconsciously,
her former position, and she did not awake un
til the gray dusk of the morning. We glided
among the warehouses and tall chimneys on the
avenue leading through the city. When we
stopped at Thirty-second street I felt quite sad
at parting from my charge; and as I lifted her
down tiie clumsy steps, I asked her to tell me
her name, and not to forget me. She told me that
she was called Isabel Denham, and said that she
had a good memory; but I little expected, on
bidding her lareweil, that I should ever see her
again.
Trifliug as was this adventure, I was, at my
then age of If), so full of the dreamy visions ol
youth, and so great a stranger to the better
part of the sex, that during my short sojourn
in New York, and long after returning to col
lege at Schenectady, the picture of those rich
black curls waving on my shoulders, and the
pair of blue eyes that opened on mine when
she awoke, perpetually recurred to my imagi
nation. How angry was lat my stupidity in
neglecting to “ask of the whereabouts” of her
Herkimer county home. Indeed, I tormented
all my college chums front that county, with
whom I had any acquaintance, with inquiries
concerning the name of Denham, until silenced
by the ridicule they excited. The dissipations
and studies of college life didliot, however,
impair my memory; although, when I visited
New York, after taking ray degree, it was only
at leisure moments that I would ask myself,
“I wonder what has become of my pretty Isa
bel ; by lit is time she must be full woman, and
I doubt not a fair one. I should like to know
it she recollects her companion of the cars.”
* * # * * * *
A delightful summer ramble had terminated
at Trenton Falls. On the afternoon preceding
the clay when 1 was to return home and re
sume the duties of my profession, i had wan
dered tij) beyond the falls in the glen, and be
fore 1 noticed the clouds creeping heavily up
the horizon. I was startled at tile same mo
ment by a drop of rain onniy hand, and the
sudden apparition oi a young lady who was
seated, quietly sketching, at the corner I had
just turned. When site looked up she opened
to their lull extent a pair of laughing blue eyes,
which I felt certain I had looked into before. —-
Yet of their splendidly beautiful owner 1 had
no recollection. At once a thought, an inspi
ration it must have been, recalled my former
companion of the cars. I was suie it must be
she. As I detest ceremony in investigations of
this kind, I at once dismouutcJ, took off my
hat, and accosted the fair artist:
“ Miss, 1 beg pardon ; but as there is to be a
heavy fall of rain, will you allow me to' assist
you to descend to the hotel V"
She colored and bowed slightly. “Thank
you, Sir then, looking around, she called
“ Mary!”
“ If that be your companion, Miss, I fear she
is scarcely within call. It must have been the
lady I passed a full quarter of a mile from
lienee.”
She gathered up her pencils and appeared
perplexed. At this moment a few heavy drops
of rain and a far-off muttering of thunder came
on very opportunely.
I assumed a most humble aud respectful
mien ; “ Will you houor me by acceptiug my
company to see you safe home ?” She blushed
again aud seemed to hesitate, but a loud clap of
thunder aided me materially, and in a few
moments we began the descent, I occasionally
psising the apology of a slippery rock for plac
gj»...,t 1.-—--

ing ray arm around her. However, before we
reached the hotel, the rain came down with
Jury, and I delivered ray lair charge, dripping
wet, into the care of an anxious looking old
gentleman, who was watching for her in the
verandah, and in whom X at once recognized
the papa whom I had met in the cars. From
her! received a host of pretty thanks, and from
him, what I valued far mere, the ; emission to
call on the morrow and inquire whether she
had taken injury irom the exposure.
“ George,” said I to a negro servant whom I
met hurrying through the sitting room, “ how
long has Mr. Denham been at Trenton Fails ?”
“ Just came iu yesterday, sir. Been to Sara
toga, but it didn’t agree with the old gentle
man.”
“ Have they been here before ?”
“Were here last season, sir. Understand
that Mrs. Denham, who was with them then,
died last winter.”
I slipped a gratuity into his hand.
Here was lull and pleasant information. My
conjecture was assured ; no troublesome mam
ma; father invalid ; nothing could be more de
lightful ! I returned to my quarters in the
highest spirits, and in a rich stream of Utopian
vision, and engaged my apartments in the hotel
for the remainder ot the season.
My call on the following day was kindly re
ceived. I soon gathered that Mr. Denham had
considerable money, but I cautiously abstained
from recalling to his memory our former meet
ing. But with the fair Isabel I was not so scru
pulous, and as soon as we became tolerably
good friends, and I was installed in the place
of “ protector,” and permitted to escort her to
views which papa could not reach, I took an
opportunity of approaching the subject, al
though cautiously at first. The momeut, how
ever, that X touched upon it, the expression in
Miss Denham's eye, and perhaps a little Light
ening of color, convinced me that she had not
torgol.ten the circumstances of our previous
meeting, and I ventured to speak of it, and of
the many recollections ft-had left, without re
serve. Why. I had hitherto hesitated to make
the inquiry, I should fail in attempting to ex
plain ; those alone who have been fascinated,
is I then was, will understand the reason.—
Henceforward, wu became as old friends, and, I
need not add, constant companions. Never did
i pass a more pleasant Autumn ; it was, indeed,
a happiness almost too keen to ramble day af
ter day, without a thought of the future, by the
side ot sweet Isabel Denham ; to sit at her feet
throughout the long summer evenings, gazing
into those strange blue eyes, as she sang to her
guitar, lor papa, whole garlands of gay little
songs. Yet I never ' spoke to her of love, al
lhough my heart was almost oppressed with its
sweetness. But our intercourse grew so entire
md affectionate as we read, or sailed, or sat
together, or loitered amid the heavy fragrance
of the garden to watch the glory of a sunset,
that nothing hut a rising sense of self-reproach,
when I considered my doubtful prospects in
life—or perhaps, likewise, a fear to disturb,
even with a word, a relation so deficious as had
silently established itself between me and this
fair girl, could have stifled the confession and
the entreaty which at times actually quivered
on my lips.
But. Autumn was nearly past; its closp re
called Mr. Denham, with restored health, to his
home in Herkimer county; and me to the
practice of my profession in the city. At part
ing, the old gentleman gave me a kind invita
tion to his home whenever I should visit the
centre of the State; and when, in his presence,
i essayed to bid farewell to his daughter, my
self-possession so nearly left me that X could
barely say, “Good-by!" That last day was a
miserable one; and when evening came, and I
laid completed my arrangements tor departure
on the morrow, I could not restrain my desire
to say one kind word, to Isabel before leaving
tlie place, ft was in vain that reason hinted
the folly ot indulging a pursuit that, in my
then circumstances, appeared hopeless : equally
vain was the appeal </i' conscience, urging that
it was using a young creature unfairly to sug
gest a claim that 1 could not prefer : before the
sun had quite set 1 was standing at a rock sit
uated at the foot of the falls. Would she
come? I was sure of it!
i stepped nildc for a moment; she slowly
approached, and stood gazing on the water;
and then she buried her face in both hands. 1
stole to her side and whispered “Isabel!” At
first, I feared that she would taint, so pale did
site become; hut the color directly returned to
her complexion, until cheek, brow, and even
neck, were glowing with a crimson flush. She
held out Lei- hand, smiling, hut with eyes full
ol tears.
“1 could not bear to leave you, my sweet
friend, without taking a kinder iarewell than
th** JaU»4> .
looked downward, and X could sec her lip quiv
er, hut no answer came.
“It will be a long, long time ere I see you
again ; will you let me thank you for these hap
py days, or will you add one other treasure to
all your gilts of gentleness and condescension?
Will you repeat that sweet promise you once
gave me, as a child V Say, Unit you will not
forget me, beautiful Isabel Denham !”
“ Did I break that promise ?” she replied, in
a low voice.

“Ah! but you are now to enter the world,
where you will be Bought, and caressed, and
loved ; but no one will love you there so fond
ly as an old triend, Isabel!” (What would not
1 have then given lor the power to ask her to
be mine!) She made no answer, but wept. At
that moment voices ware heard calling her
name; she slightly pressed my hand in which I
still held hers, and whispered, hurriedly,
“ Good-by ! t will not forget you !” Had Me
pbistophiles himself then stood at my elbow I
could not have abstained from kissing the lips
that uttered these kind, musical words. She
struggled, escaped from my embrace and rau
toward her companions.
For two long years I remained in the city,
busied with projects which I need not relate. —
Need I say what was now the pole star of my
endeavors? Those dear words, “I will not
forget you,” were forever in my ear; and sup
ported me in moments of anxiety and disap
pointment of which, God knows, I had my full
share. But T kept my resolution to avoid Isa
bel Denham’s presence until I could appear
before her in the character of a decided suitor ;
yet how dearly did it cost me! How could 1
expect that her memory, to which I had prefer
red no direct claim, would survive the effects
of absence, silence and the assiduities of oth
ers ?
During the Fall of 1865 I received a visit lrom
John Thornton, an old college mate, who lived
near Ilion, and I gladly accepted an iuvitatiou
to pass Christmas with him. In answer to my
inquiries, he gave me the welcome information
that Mr. Denham was his neighbor and* ac
quaintance. I arrived at Thornton’s on Christ
mas Eve. “ You are come at the right mo
ment.” said my friend. “The folks at Mr. Den
ham’s join our merry-making to-morrow ; and
you will have a good opportunity of renewing
your acquaintance with Isabel.”' Between fear
and expectation I had no sleep that night.
In this fair district the dear old custom of
hearty Christmas rejoicings and the genuine
hospitality arc retained in much of their origi
nal glory. Under any other circumstances the
cheerful hum of preparation in decorating the
church with evergreens; the holiday faces of
the people and a certain blending of solemnity
and joy in the performance of church service
in the stately old minister, would have affected
me powerfully ; but, in church, I was devoured
by impatience, vainly attempting to detect one
familiar face amidst the congregation; and re
turned to dress, nervous and disappointed. A
few words to Thornton, indeed, would have
put an end to suspense ; but 1 had resolved to
conceal every indication of peculiar interest
until I had iearned how Isabel would receive
me. I was actually trembling when I entered
the drawing-room, half an hour before the
Christmas dinner; the guesls were nearly all
arrived, but still the face I sought for was not
there. A carriage dashed up to the door—Mr.
and Miss Denham ! I started forwards. The
old gentleman was, indeed, the same ; but in
stead of the beautiful girl I expected, there ap
peared a thin, aged lady, with all the vinegar
look of a maiden sister.
Mr. Denham greeted me heartily. I forbore
to inquire, at the moment, after his daughter;
it had, indeed, been needless, for be was hardly
seated before, “Where is Mist, Isabel ?” rained
upon him front all sides.
“Foor Bell! 1 was afraid to bring her out on
a bitter day like this, even to a Christmas
revel; she has been so delicate of late.” Here
he looked at the villainous old sister, in the lace
cap and spectacles, who nodded assent. I
could have strangled them both.
The dinner was a bitter ceremony to me,
moody and taciturn as the disappointment had
made me. One determination engrossed all
my thoughts ; and, in the bustle caused by the
ladies’ departure, I proceeded to execute it, by
slipping quietly into the hall, seizing the first
hat I could find, and running down the road as
fast as the frozen snow allowed me.
“Show me Mr. said I to a child.
“It’s the big white house yonder, across the
field.”
In three minutes I was halting under the
windows.
The necessity of a pause to take a breath, a
consciousness of my proceeding being rather a
queer one, added to a habitual love of recon
noitcring before any “onslaught,” arrested my
baud, as it was already upon the bell. I there
fore began to encompass the house, after the
manner of the beseigers of Jericho (only that I
used no trumpet,) until I reached a window,
level with the snow covered flower-bed with
out, which was brightly illuminated from with
in. The curtain was partially drawn aside, and
the ringing sounds of youthful laughter at
j traded me nearer. I stepped on to the flower
bed, and looked in upon a scene which the rare
fancy of the best artists could not have embel
lished. It was a long room, thickly hung with
evergreens. The chief light proceeded from a
vast Yule log, which lay glowing and flickering
in a wido-chimney. The place was full of boys
and girls from twelve to seven years old ; two
stout little fellows had just succeeded, by the
help of two chairs, in attaching a bunch of
Christmas to the chandelier in the centre ; tak
ing advantage, as it seemed, of the moment,
white a girl of about ten years of age was busy
binding up the eyes of a young lady (the only
grown up person of the party.) was seated
upon a stool, with her back turned toward the
window, amid shouts of merry laughter. I
drew closer, and, as soon as she rose to begin
the game, I knew, by the little white hands
extended to catch the fugitives, the elegant
form, the rich black locks, and the dimpled
chin, even though her eyes were covered, the
person of sweet Isabel Denham.
From an involuntary impulse I tried the
clasp of the window ; it opened and I climbed
in, and there I stood withiu the curtain, gazing
with tremulous delight and eagerness upon my
beautiful mistress. It required a pause of
several minutes before I could summon cour
age to intrude upon this scene of innocent
merriment. The little folks, the while, were
skipping about in the fire-light, shouting with
rapture, and Isabel bounded among them as
carefully as though she had been Titania her
self. She had little success in the game ; the
mischievous crew, who seemed to take especial
delight in pulling about her curls, escaped from
her gentle hands whenever she essayed to lay
hold upon any of her assailants. At last she
came running toward ray hiding-place, with
both hands outstretched, crying, “ I am sure
there is some rogu» hiding here who shall not
escape quite so easily as lie did the Just time!”
I cannot describe how this random speech
affected me ; hut I internally biessed the omen,
and coming forward, as she approached, quietly
possessed myself of her two hands and pressed
them to my lips. Startled, if not alarmed, by
a touch so unexpected, she gave a sudden ery,
exclaiming, “ Papa! it is not you !” and. free
ing one of her hands, hurriedly removed the
bandage from her forehead. It was a nervous
moment tor me ; the unwarrar table liberty I
had taken just flashed upou my mind at the
instant when I had lui!y committed myself.
On recognizing my face, Isabel almost shrieked,
changed color, tried to speak, and burst inti
tears. I was terribly alarmed ; the little people
stood aghast, as though Satan himself had step
ped from behind the curtain. I supported
Isabel to the sofa, and k ielt at her ride.
“Forgive me, dear Isabel! I little thought
I should alarm you so much. I was not master
of myself ou seeing you so near me ! will you
suffer me to entreat yonr pardon ?” Her eye
slowly unclosed, and rested on mine, troubled,
hut full ot sweetness.
“Oh, Mr. Vernon! It was not kind to
frighten me thus. I do not know whether I
shall ever forgive you for causing me such a
shock.”
“I shall never forgive myself if I have dis
tressed you ; but hear my excuse ; I hoped to
have met you at Thornton’s ; you came not ; 1
hastened liitber to find you ; I beheld you
through the window, and could not. restrain my
eagerness to approach you ! and now, have you
not forgotten, will you forgive me !”
“I do not know,” she said, blushing deeply,
“whether I ought to listen to you at all or no.
You deserve that I should send you away at
once.”
“You would not he so unkind did you know
how I have longed to cast myseli on your
mercy.”
“Well, I forgive yon.” I was in the seventh
heaven. The bliudmau’s huff party appeared
sorely disconcerted. “Had we not better set
the little people to play again ?” said I; and,
without more ceremony, seizing upon the big
gest hoy of the party, 1 bound up his eyes, and
after a few minutes’ romping with them, the
tnerry uproar became as loud as ever. Return
ing to Isabel’s feet, I then told my tale, ex
plaining, as well a. 1 could, my past silence,
sued for her pardon and her fair hand. She.
was too n Uurally sincere, perhaps too much
Hurried, to tyrannize over mo at such a mo
ment; and when, after an ardent expostulation
and entreaty, 1 raised her from the soft; and
slyly leading her under the little rogues’ Bush
of Salutation, covered her eyes, hi ow.md lips
with kisses—she had already breathed the
sweet word that made her mine, forever.
In tlie course ofthat evening’s converse, i
learned how faithfully the dear girl had kept
her promise, nit hough my silence had so little
deserved it; and how just had been my instan
taneous feeling of antipathy toward the maid
en aunt, from who poor Isabel had suffered a
loug persecution on behalf of a 'protege of hers,
recommended as a suitor to my peerless 1111s
■(OMK —— mu in. is-- -'
It was very late ere I regained Mr. Thorn"
ton’s house The revel fortunately was not
yet over, and I tound Mr. Denham in a charita
ble mood, so that, before his carriage drove
away, I had obtained from him a permission
which completed the happiness of the most dc
lightful Christmas day 1 had ever spent, or may
hope ever to spend again.
Nice Little Children.
A writer iu the Boston Voice says ;
The other day, in an unguarded moment, 1
accepted Ihe charge and custody of a young
gentleman who wore half gaiters and a Charles
11. hat and feather. Ilis sponsors in baptism
had given him one name—circumstances an
other. His latter appellation “ Buster.” Ilis
ago, as he informed me, was "going oil seven.”
When he made up bis mind that we were to be
left together, he eyed me malevolently a mo
ment, and immediately commenced the follow
ing system of torture :
What was my name and my brother’s and
my father’s name, and why ? Did I.have any
little boys ? Why didn’t I have any little boys'?
What was the reason if I didn’t have any little
boys? I didn’t have any little girls ? All this
put as one question, with no stops, and a
gradual rising inflection.
Was them buttons gold In my sleeve, and
why? How much did they cost? Did they
cost one hundred and fiity-five dollars? If
they didn’t cost one hundred and fifty-five dol
lars, what would bo the price of a gold house
with gold furniture and gold stair ease ? Did
I ever see a house with the auriferous peculiari
ties ?
No.
What then would be the cost of a silver car
riage and a gold harness ? What then would
be the cost of a leaden carriage with iron har
ness? And why?
Did I know why the flies walked on the ceil
ing? Could I walk on the ceiling? Not if 1
had ouc man to hold my head and another my
legs? Why couldn’t I ? Couldn’t lif I was a
giant? Was I ever personally acquainted with
any ? Did I ever see them eat ?
How tar was it to New York ? Was it a mil
lion miles? Fifty million miles? It he (Bus
ter) had a balloon, and should start off, would
beget there to-niglit? Nor next night, nor
another night, nor next week—and why ?
I soon found out that this why was a simple
form of closing all questions, like the usual
note of interrogation.
What was my business, and did I know any
stories ?, and why ?
This afforded a plan of relief. I instantly
started into a history of my previous life and
adventures. I invested all 1113' relations and
friends with supernatural attributes, and made
m3’selt a creation something between Genii and
Robinson Crusoe. 1 made the most astonish
ing voyages and saw most remarkable occur
rences. I drew liberally from the Arabian
Nights and Baron Munchausen. Whenever. 1
saw the open mouth “ address itself to a motion,
as though ’twould speak,” I brought in a Roe
or a Genii or a casket of diamonds, and took
away the unhappy child’s breath! In an ani
mated description of the Roarliouud Islands
and adventures in the damp caves, where the,,
candles bung in long stalactites, the parents
happiiy returned. I hurriedly received their
thanks and left. But I have, the secret satisfac
tion of knowing that all that pent-up torrent
of questions burst on the unhappy father , and
that geographical inquiries regarding the locali
ty of “Floating Island,” the ‘ Blanc Mange
Archipelago,” and the “ Valley of Cream
Cakes,” will lieucelortk be his dreadful lot to
meet and answer!
Payment of “Burial Coups.”—Eleven
thousand six hundred dollars, we hear, were
paid out here on Saturday to the “ Burial
• Corps” tor their pious labors iu re-burying the
Federal dead during the months of October
and November. But for General Lee’s mercy
to citizens in refusing to tire on Fredericksburg
on the night of December 15, 1863, ten times
as many would have required the services ot a
Burial Corps; and that interesting "Corps”
would have had occupation, and pay to spend
in Fredericksburg, lor some time to come.—
Burnside.it seems, was our benefactor. But
for the stupid slaughter of his own soldiers,
there would not have been so much money
paid ont in impoverished Fredericksburg. The
field on this side of Marye’s Heights, on which
was grown the corn our charity sent to starving
Ireland in 184'?, has yielded a rich harvest in
the Irish invaders slain, whose dead bodies cov
ered its fair surface in December, ’63, and now
the money paid for their re-interment on the
“Heights” they could not take, will bring a
circulating medium to the Confederates whom
they robbed and whose houses they sack*!.

Maraden’a Family Medicines
Have become, a household word in almost every family
from the extreme North to the tropics. It has surprised
many why they have proved so successful. The reason is
that they are not cure-alls for every disease known to suf
fering humanity, but specific remedies for the various
complaints which they are recommended for. These pre
parations are compounded with great care from the active
principle of drugs long and favorably kut.wn for their
remedial effects in the diseases which experience has
proved to be benefit ted by their use. Being prepared in
large quantities, under my immediate supervision, guar
antees to the patieut a uniformity in strength and a cer
tainty in effect—an advantage which the skillfurpharma
ceutist can readily appreciate.
Pectoral Balm
lias proved so successful in alleviating and curing Coughs,
Colds, Influenza, Asthma, Croup, Consumption, and all
Bronchial Diseases, that it is now adopted by many of our
most eminent physicians as the" most valuable expecto
rant known.
Calisaya Tonic
In all cases of Debility, Loss of Appetite and Dyspepsia,
will be found invaluable, giving tone and strength to the
system. As an Alterative it has proved very efficacious,
removing Blotches, Eruptions, Scrofula, and all impuri
ties of the blood.
Carminative Syrup
Is now recognized by all who have tried it, as the most
reliable preparation that can be used in cases of Diarrhoea,
Dysentery, Flux or Cholera. The past season has added
additional testimony to Is already established reputa
tion—it never having failed to relieve and cure all the
above diseases.
Sanative Pills
Have become ho well known to all sufferers from Consti
pation, Bilious Disorders, Nervous or Sick Headache,
Clout, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, &c., that comment on
their virtues would seem superfluous.
EltlUCl Uili^Ck'
Is nothing more than a pure and concentrated extract ot
the choiceHt Jamaica Ginger Root, prepared by a process
which extracts all the medicinal virtues retaining its aro
u'.’. I. will be found efficacious in Dyspepsia, Lang our,
T TVOijKness, and Indigestion.
Pur© Cod Liver Oil.
The great difficulty in obtaining a pure and reliable Oil
lias induced me to select and offer thi« as beiug strictly
pnfre, not a fictitious or manufactured article. Physicians
and patients will find this article can be relied on in all
cases of Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, and Scroful
otis Diseases.

Habitual Constipation*
Uow to Effect a Certain and Permanent Cure.
Some occupations of life predispose to Costiveness, es
pecially those which allow’ but little exercise. Persons
who contract this unfortunate habit of body, under such
circumstances, might possibly h 3 relieved by changing
tlieir sedentary employments for others of a more active
kind ; hut this is by no means certain Habitual consti
pation is a very obstinate disorder. All the ordinary so
called remedies invariably aggravate it. Nothing car* be
more injurious than the continued use of strong ape
rients. They at first irritate, and finally almost paralyze
the bowels—rendering them so torpid that ebormouadosea
of cathartic medicines have no effect upon them. A mild
aperient combined with a gentle stimulant, is the true
remedy; and a combination in the happiest proportion,
of these ingredients, is found in HOSTETTER’S STO
MACH BITTERS. This famous Stomachic invigorates
the whole Intestinal canal, while quietly removing from
its convolutions ail impediments to a free passage through
them. No mere purgative lias this double operation. No
ordinary stimulant effects the desired object. Cases of
Constipation abandoned as hopeless by distinguished
medical men have been cured in a few weeks by the Bit
ters. To those who have tried all the medicines cf the
dispensary in vain, w’c say try this irresistible stimulant
and aperient. There is no sufficient reason why constipa
tion should be the consequence of sedentary habits.
IIOSTETTER’S BITTERS, by supplying the vigor which
would otherwise be derived from exercise, will in all casps
enable the system to perform its excretory functions regu
larly and healthfully.

Its effects on Cotton the past season have, in many
instances, excelled Peruvian Guano. It has in no
case proved less active in the early growth of the

suiter from its uso as is the case witli Peruvian
Guano. By reason of the presence in it of so large a

THE AMERICAN JEWELERS’ ASSOCIA
TION callß yonr attention to the fact of its being the
largest and most popular Jewelry Association in the
United States. The business is "and always has been
conducted in the most condid and honorable manner.
Our rapidly increasing trade iH a sure guarantee of the
appreciation of our patrons lor this method of obtain
ing rich, elegant, and costly roods. The sudden stag
nation of trade in Europe, owing to the late German
War and recent disastrous financial crisis in England,
has caused the failure of a large number of Jewelry
Houses in London and Paris, obliging them to sell
their goods at a great sacrifice, in some instances less
than one-third the cost of manufacturing. We have
lately purchased very largely of these Bankrupt
Goods, at such extremely low prices, that we can
afford to send away Finer Goods, and give better
chances to draw the most valuable prizes than any
other establishment doing a similar business. OUR
AIM IH TO PLEASE, and wo respectfully solicit
your patronage, as we are confident of giving the ut
most satisfaction. During the past year wc have for
warded a number of the most valuable prizes to all
pans of the country. Those who patronize us will re
ceive the full value of their money, as no article on
our list is wortli less than One Dollar, retail, and there
are no blanks. Parties dealing with us may depend
eri having prompt returns, and the article drawn will
he immediately sent to any address by return mail or
