Is different from all others. It Is tom-'
posed of the purr/lake/4 of Vital Prin•
epic of Boots. Borba and Barton,
(or. as medicinally termed, Extracts,) the
worthless or inert portions ofthe ingre
clients, not being used. Therefore, in ono
*bottle of these Batters there is obtained
as much medicinal virtue as will be found
In several gallons of ordinary mixtures.
'the Berns, .lac, used in this Bitters, are
grown in Germany, their vital principles
extracted in that country by a scientific
Chemist, and forwarded to the manufac
tory in this city, where they are com
pounded and bottled. Containing no
spirituous Ingredients, this Bitters is free
from the objections urged against all oth
ers; no desire for stimulents can be indu.
eed from their use ; they cannot make
drunkards, and cannot, under any circum
stances,.have any but a beneficial cllect.
Was compounded for those not inclined
to extreme bitters, and is intended for use
in cases when some alcoholic stimulent is
required in cobriection with Um .Tonic
properties of the BRUM Each bottle of
the Tonic contains one bottle of the Bit
terktombined with pure_ SANTA CRUZ
RUM, and fl avored iu such a manner
that the extreme bitterness of the Bitters
is ovescome, forming a preparation high
ly agteetible and pleasant to the palate,
and containing the in ' inal e virtues of
the Bitters ; 'the prit of the Tonic is
$1.50 per Bottle, whic 1 many persons
think too high. They must take into con
skleration that the stimulant used is guar
anteed to be of a pure quality. 4 poor
article could be furnished ut a cheaper
price, but is' it not better to pay a little
more and have a good article? A medi
cinal preparation should eantiiin none lin -

to obtain a cheap compound, and bo ben
efitteo by is will most certastily be cheated.

SELECT MISCELLANY.
HOW I cAriniFo BE AN OLD MAID.
• "Why don't- you get married I"
my friends used often to say to me ;
latterly since , the gray hairs began
to shine through the brown along my
temples, and a long ago sorrowful
struggle has worked itself into long
lines along my forehead, they gener•
ally say.
" Why didn't you got married?"
I have taxed my imagination sadly
to make answers to these inquiries,
onetime andanother have told a great
many stories, for which, by-the-way,
I have never had a melancholy con
science for an hour. These fabrica
tions have been harmless, and not
only served to amuse my listeners,
but also to fill up and smooth off va
rious little sections of time that
would else have been laid in the
great wall of the past jagged and un
comely enough.
Ywish I had uo worse sins to an-
Over for.
A few nights ago I offered the sub
vjoined might have been
true, every word of it ;° my listener,
Mrs. Robinson, believed it; I am
sure she did, for twice I heard her
sigh. and once I,thought I heard her
wipe her eyes, albeit she is not giv
en to the melting mood. We have
come to be very good friends. though
we are not on the same "plane," and

.he She — was one et tne-tew
whom I was sure of finding at home,
and she never kept any carriage, (at
a dollar on hour) waiting long at the
door, but came down at once hi a
dress of black silk trimmed with
flounces, wearing ear-singe as big as
the half moon, and a watch with a
great many charms and other \ showy
appendages.
It was her pleasant custom to hope
I was well, to ask that I would take
the easy chair, and to inquire what
was new in literature. She knew I
was the New York correspondent'of
a Western newspaper, and the last
question simply complimentary—
put on the ground of disinterested
benevolence, purely, and - having I
demeaned herself of this polite obli
gation to me, she glided naturally
into her own affairs, and the remain
der of my limited time with her (I
was always limited on these occa
sions) was filled up with talk about
the baby who was teething, the old
est girl who was taking It and
nitisic lessons, and of the exceeding
difficulty of getting a cook who
would not quarrel with the chamber
maid.
Then she would hope she would
see more of ate in the -future, say
something about the day, to get me
out on. bow and smile, and that was
thejest of Mrs. Robinson for several
moalbs, when she would return my
call, ask what was new in literature,
and so repeat her familiar staple of
conversation.
At length she came into our block,
and asked me to her huuse very so
ciably—in short, when one of the
children had 's birthdayparty, and
she invited her sister Nancy from
the coun ty, uncle John from Indi
ana, who happened to be in town
"buying goixis, and one or two
plainish neighb'hrs. Gradually it
came about. that she borrowed our ,
silver teaspoons and candlesticks on '
festive occasions, with perhaps a lit
tle
extra china, and a dozen or two of
forks; also, now and then, in some
exigency of. housekeeping, our bed
key and hammer. So Mrs. Robinson
and I were excellent friends, for af
ter all, these trifles are the stuff that
friendship:is Milde of.
But to my apology. It was that
visionary slip of time between sun
set and night; there was a circle of
shining warmth about the hearth,
within which I had drawtctpy chair,
and with my baby drawee

when our remarkable journey was
interrupted by Mrs. Robinson, who
with a great coil of white net about
her head, and out of breath, had just
run in for a minute.
When she had arranged the blower
so as to send the heat up the chim
ney, and exclaimed between the
heavings of her stifled bosom, that
my room was a great deal too warm,
she kissed the dimpled hands and
mouth of my pet, and asked with a
direct earnestness that appealed to
my sincerity:
"Why did you never get mar
ried ?" Justthink what a delight it,
would he if such a child as that was
yours!"
"Yes," I said; "If its father was
mine too."
"What?" and, Mrs. Robinson
stared at me terribly.
She had not perceived my mean
ing, and I explained thatlove should
go before childrenr that they were
not a primary need of nature, as love
was, but un outward growth.from it.
Sh e shook her head douhlonsly,
arilanswered: "Well,that isn't tell

“ "Noway throwiw words sway,"
I R aw, to talk to Mrs. Robinson of ,
love and marriage, as I understood
them for an "eligible match" isnot
mart e, according to my creed; so
I sto the wing of my philosophy
slown:lo the easy things to under
stand, and add: "You know, Mrs.
Robinson, I wag younger once than

"Won't, you have this chair," said
Mrs. Robinson, rising from the reek
and speaking In soft, pitiful tones,

"Ah, it wasnyloug time ago," I re
plied; "and roe' ka myself into gill

Altera little contemplative silence,
Mrs. Robinson remarked that she
"supposed we quarrelled, as all lov
ers did, and that one or the other wai
too proud to give up.
"No," said I, "we never quarrelled
at all, there is nothing in all our ac
quaintance, except one little incident
that is not beautiful and sweet to re
member."
"Then how could it have happen

exclaimed my friend.
" He was the village pastor; I one ,
of his flock—a young, rustic girl, un- I

of making myself understood by any
body ; much less by one who was so
much my superior in culture: , and

acquaintance with the village pastor.

sultry and close that not silent stirred

"We shut our eyes again, for the
heavens above us seemed cracked and
smashed together; the dust began to
dimple with great warm drops that
fell faster and faster; the trees twisted
and writhed in their wrestle with the
strong wind. The save-ducts run
over, the cistern filled full and over
flowed,
and all the doer-yard grass 1
and flowers washed flat under the
channels of sudden rivers.

was dead.

seemilike a return to the days of the
Rochester knockings :
"From a letter from a friend at the
little town of Huton, on the Ohio &
Mississippi Railroad, we learn the
particulars of some very singular
spiritual manifestations. Our terms
pondent states that some fifteen or
twenty years ago, a pedler Was in the
habit of passing through that region
of country selling notions, driving a
two-horse team. That one night,
about nine o'clock, he passed the
house of a Mr. Rubeck, who lives
some mites east of Harrison vale, on
the Bryantsville road, going toward
the former place. This was the last
that was ever seen or heard of him.
Tip fact of his being missed and fail
it t to make his regular visits created'
some talk in that neighborhood at
the time, but soon died away, and the
pedlar was forgotten.
On this road, about one or two
miles from White River, and some
two and a half miles from Harrison
vile, is a very rough hill, up which
the road runs, and on the top, on the
southwest side of the road. is an open
Held, long since abandoned. Near
this field, and right by the side of the
road, stands an old dead tree. Some
three weeks tip Mr. Rubeck was
passing along this road, on his way
home from liarrisenville' at about
eleven o'clock at night. The night
was quite dark, and it was with ° con
siderable difficulty that he could keep
in the road, or -prevent his horse
from stumbling over the stones that
obstructed the highway. He finally,
howeyer, reached the top of the hill,
and when about twenty rods from
the tree he heard a noise, over in the
old waste field above described,w hich
he took to be two dogs engaged in a
desperate fight. Their growling,
' barking, snapping and seratching
I-was fearful. lt was aPparently the
ikost sanguinary dog fight he - had
ever heard. At the moment it crea
ted little or no surprise. He only
wondered that two dais., should be at
that time of night so distant from any
human habitation (for there is no farm
house within a mile of this field),
engaged in such a desperate encoun
ter. On the second thought, howev
er, he concluded that they had beed
out on a sheep-stealing expedition,
and -having accidentally Met there,
got into the fight.
He had not long to do s haider on this,
however, for soon the clanking of
chains attracted' his attention in an
, other direction, and looking toward
the tree, to his astonishment he be

A HARD STRUGGLE FORUM
Eighteen _Hours in the Mud
The Detroit Free Press says t s : t
on the 29th ult., Henry ()alter, e Ger
man, aged 25 years, employed on the,
farm of Richard Starks, near that city,
went out to hunt for a missing cow.
He took a rifle with him to shoot
squirrels. In crossing a marsh near
a creek, he sunk deep, and felt
OA) mud dragging him still deeper.
W hen hfr landed, his gun was wrench
ed from his hand and struck th.emarsh
five or six feet away, alighting on a
piece of old log which held, It up.
When he found , that he Waiumieed_,
shouting himself hoarse before recol
lecting that he was three-quarters of
a tulle from any house, and halfa mile
'
from the traveled road. As it grew
dark and as he felt himself being
slowly dragged down, the man took
a careful survey of , the situation
to discover his chances of escape from
the death creeping upon him. His
his first act. was to empty his pockets 1
and remove his coat and vest, in or
der that the extra weight should not
assist to sink him.
He also perceived that his best way
was to keep as quiet as possible, as
every exertion assisted to mire him
deeper. • To his right, about tea feet
away, was a knoll of solid' ground, on
which grew a thorn apple tree, one
of the limbs extending almost over
the mares head' and about four feet
beyond the reach of his arms.
Thinking that if he could get posses- ,
sion of his gun he might secure the
limb, Oter took off his suspenders,
tied them together and made a-noose
In one epd, and after careful and
tedious work las s oed the riee and
dragged it to him This was after he
had been in the mire nearly two
hours, and quite a while after dark.
He was imbued to believe that he had
not sunk any for the last half hour,but
the extra weight of the gun, as he
held it up, he sunk neart . yto his hips
in a moment, and he quickly laid it
down. The feeling was as if his legs
were being pre ss ed by the jaws of a
vice and the mire was cold enough to
benumb him.' He Raw that any
move to get the limb would sink him,
and so he carefully laid the rgleacroei

of solid ground not much larger than
his hand,were all around the inan,but
the moment he took . hold of one of
them it would pull away, having no
real support. °aster had a pipe with
him and he got this from i hia coat
and twisted oil' the German silver
ring around the stem. The ring he
broke between his teeth, bent it up
like a hook, and then fastened it to
hissuspenders determined to make an
egort to reach the limb. Time after
time he made the throw, but the hook
failed to catch, slipped off, or bent out
straight, and at tea o'clock at night
the victim was up to his hips, and
slowly settling. Placing his coat and
vest, on either side, he pushed them
down with his hands. and in this way
kept his body from settling as fast as
it otherwise would. He ceased to
shout, knowing that he ' could not
expecthelp before another day. Row
he passed the long, gloomy night can
scarcely be imagined.
As Oster did not return at dark,
Starks feared that he might have shot
