I'ROBABLY the wittiest saying in the language is i
Douglas Jerold's definition of dogmatism—that it is j

WE admired the remark of an old lady who was !
admiring the beautiful picture calk .'• Saved." — '
'"lt'sno wonder," aaid she,"that the poor child i
fainted, after pulling that great dog outof the water."
A BOSTON paper of last week says: —"After the
hot Saturday of htst week, cold days have succeeded
and frosts have visited many pArts Nc-w of England,
doing much damage to the young shoots of half-har

THESE ARE now gathered together in CentrrlPark,

in the Park and to makeit their resort from genera

AT A fancy dress ball, in Paris, recently, a lady
was seen in a low neck dress, while floating and wa
ving an abundance of green gauze. She was politely
asked by a gentleman what she personated. "Tire
sea. monsieur." "At low tide, tlieu. madams."
The lady blushed and the gentleman smiled.
SHERIDAN had a very convenient formula for ac
knowledging all the new publications that were sent
to him: "Dear sir, I have received your exquisite
work, and I have no doubt T shall 'be highly delight
ed after 1 have read it." The author may take this
remark either way, comrlimentary or otherwise..
OVERFLOW AT DENVER CITY.—A dispatch from
Denver City, May 22, says: Cherry Creek, which
has been dry for several miles above this
since 18->9, suddenly filled with water at midnight on
the 10th, overflowing the bank and submerging West
Denver, doing immense damage. Fifteen to twenty
persons were drownded. The loss of property is
estimated at over one million dollars.
A NEWLY-MARRIED couple at Siudley, England,
lately decided to have grandmamma's arm-chair rs
et.uffed in her absence, and sent it away tor the pur
pose. The old lady, returning, astonished them by
saying that there were £4OO among the horsehair.—
The chair was sent for and the cash recovered. Fur
ther Inquiries realized the fact that au oid petticoat
which had been consigned to the rag bag contained a
number of sovereigns stitched into* the waistband.
ONE DAY a little-girl, about five years old, heard a
preacher of a certain denomination praying most lusti
ly, till the roof rang with the strength of his supplies- j
tions. Turning to her mother, and beckoning the ma- i
ternal ear to JV speaking distance, she whispered:
"Mother, don't you think that if he lived nearer to
God he wouldn't have to talk so loud.'"' Such a ques- j
lion is worth a volume on elocution in prayer.
Yoc KNOW the story of the boy who would not cry,
though the wolf TO gnawing him beneath his frock.
.Most of us have some wolf to gnaw us somewhere;
bnt we are generaly gnawed beneath our clothes, so
that the world doesn't see, and it behooves us so to j
bear it that the world shall not suspect. The man
who goes about proclaiming himself to be miserable
will be not only miserable but contemptable as well. —
Anthony Trotiopc.
No MAN and no woman is safe who has once formed
the habit of looking to drink for solace, or cheerful
ness. or comfort. While the world goes well they
will likely be temperate; but the habit is to build, the
railroad to destruction is cut ready for use, the rails
are laid down, the station houses erected, and the
train is oirthe line waiting only for the locomotive ;
it comes to-us: it grapples its, ar.cl away we go in a mo
ment. down the line wo have been years constructing,
like a flash of licrhtning. to destruction. Chariot:

TRY for a single day. I beseech yon, to preserve:
yourself in an easy and cheerful frame of mind. Be |
for one day iustead of a fire-worshipers of passion and j
hell, the stm-worshipper of a clear self-possession: \
and compare the day in which you rooted out the !
weed of dissatisfaction- with that on which you allow- I
ed it to grw up: and you will find your heart open \
to every good motive, your iife strengthened, and '
youmbreast armed with a panoply against every trick j
of fate: truly you will wonder at your own improve- ,
ment. — Jean "I'trtd Riehter.
A TAVERN KEEPER i IT Newark, when giving a New j
Year's present to his "help." told one of his porters j
(a smart Irishman) that he was about the best man 1
in the house, and therefore he should give hitn the !
most costly present "Sure," said Patrick, robbing
his hands with delight, "I always mane to do mv ju- j
tv." "I believe you," replied his employer," and
therefore 1 make you a present of all you have stolen j
from me-during the year." "Thank ver honor." re- I
plied Pat, "and may sill your friends and acquain
tances treat you as liberals-.''
A QUESTION IN ENGINEERING. —A young man re
cently presented himself for examination as Assis
tant Engineer in the Navy. Among other questions,
the following was asked of liiin : "Suppose you had
built an engine yourself, performed every part of the
work without assistance, and knew that it was in
complete order, but when put into a vessel the pump
would not draw water, what would you do?" The
young maw promptly replied, "I should go to the side !
of the vessel and ascertain If there was any water in
the river." Gaess they let him pass.
IT IS RELATED of a certain New England divinfe
who flourished not many years ago. and whose mat
rimonial relations are supposed not to have been of
the most agreeable kind, that one Sabbath morning,
while reading to his congregation the parable of the
supper, in which occurs this passage : "And anoth
er said I have bought live yoke of oxen, and 1 go to
prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And a
nothergaid. I have married a wife, and therefore
cannot come" —he suddenly paused at the end of
this verse, drew off his aiiectacles, and looking round
on his hearers, said, with emphasis, "The fact is my
brethren, one woman can draw a man farther from
the kingdom of heaven than five yoke of oxen !"
HELA.VCITOLY TRADEDT AT NIAGARA FALLS. —The
Biitfafo Comntrrcial Advertiser says that on Friday
morning a woman named Bender threw herself into
the rapids is the Niagara river immediately above the
brink of the cataract, on the Canada side, and ws
carried over the falls. She lived near the spot, and
had for some time been partially insane, renderingit
necessary on the part oft he tain ily to keep a close watch
ifopon her movements. A few moments before ten
o'clock she-was sitting quietly in the house knitting,
but having been left alone for a few moments.she rush
ed from the room, ran to the river and plunged into
the boiling waters. It would appear timt her con
sciousness returned after she entered the water, as she
tossed her arms widely about and cried loudly foras-
Distance. Bui of course she was beyond the reach of
human aid, and in a few moments was swept over the
fall*.
ANECDOTES ABOUT GEN. GRANT.
The New York correspondent of the Boston Jour
nal tells the following stories:
"Many inquiries have been made about General
Grant's politics. lam happy to inform your readers
from his own lips to wh3t party lie belongs and under
what banner be marches. A near relative of his has
been passing some tirnein this city. Whle with Gen
eral Grant at the West, before he was made lieuten
ant-general, the friend said to him : "General, I have
been inquired of to-day abont yonr polities. 'Did
you give the parties any information?' Was the quiet
query. 'I did not," was the answer, 'for 1 don't know
what your polities are.' Knocking the ashes from
his cigar, the General continued: 'When I resided at
the South 1 had the opinions and prejudices of south
ern people against the republican party. I brought
those opinions and prejudices with me when I came
to Illinois. Had I taken active part in politics i should
have been with the party opposed to the Republi
cans. 1 watched Mr. Lincoln's course, and was sat
isfied with his patriotism. But these are not the times
for parties. Indeed, in this crisis there can be but
two parties —those for the country, those for its foes. —
1 belong to the party of the Union. Those who are
the most earnest in carrying on the war and putting
down the rebellion have my support. As a soldier I
obey the laws and execute the orders of all my supe
riors. I expect every man under me to do the same." —
"When Mrs. Grantleft Washington for her western
home she remained a short time in this city at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. Several gentlemen called upon
her, and in the course of the conversation congratu
lated her on the elevation of her husband, and ex
pressed a hope taht he would be successful in this
campaign. Her whole manner, quiet, dignified and
reserved, seemed to express surprise that any one
could doubt his success. Pausing a moment she re
plied: 'I have no doubtthntyhe General will succeed,
for he is a very obstinate man.' This remark ended
the conversation.
"A Galena neighbor of the commanding-general
has been stopping here some time, and seemsuUerly
confounded with the sudden growth of his neighbor,
the tanner. He can't account, for it, for he was not
a marked man in his home, and nobody supposed bim
a great man; he seldom talked, asked no advice, gave
ncr.e one. but always did what he agreed to
aotllie time." *

FOR THE
SANITARY COMMISSION.
Crnce OP COXNITTES OK LABOR. INCOMES 4 REVENUES,
>O. US £}IUIH SEVENTH SmtEl, PHILADELCHIA,
APBIL4TH. 1864.
The Committee on "Labor. Tncomoa and Revenues." in
vito eo-uperation with them in tbe particular work for
which they have been appointed. A* no portion of tho
people are moro patriotic than the working meu and wo
men of the country, it is but just and proper that they
should alike have an opportunity to contribute to the oh
ject of the Fair. The most equable plnn for accomplish
ing this, and, at the same time the easiest one, is to ask
for the contribution of a SINGLE DAY'S I.ABOR from all
classes in the community. Many will contribute a day of
their labor willingly, who would not subscribe their mon
ey. TO reach every department of industry and ar' will be
a work of great labor, but if attainad, wili be productive
of iminese results.
The success of the plan will depend upon the hearty
co-operation of every element of influence within our lim
its and we invite all the guardians of the industrial inter
ests, and all others, to tako hold with us in furthering this
great work of patriotism and humanity.
The Committee is charged with the following duty, to
wit :
FIRST. —To obtain tbe contribution of" one day's labor."
or earnings, from every artisan and laborer, foreman, op
erative aud employee: president, cashier; toiler and clerk
of every incorporated and unincorporated company, rail
road aud express company, employing firm, bank, manu
factory, iron-works, oil-works, mill, mine and public of
fice ; from every private bunker and broker, importer, auc
tioneer and merchant; clerk, agent and salesman : design
er, finisher and artist; publisher, printer and mechanic;
from every government oilier, contractor and employee ;
grocer, butcher, baker and dealer; fanner, horticulturist
and producer: from every maiitua uiunker, milliner aud
female operative; every individual engaged in turning
the soil, tending the loom, or in any way earning a liveli
hood, or building a fortune within the States of Pennsyl
vania, New Jersey and Delaware.
SECOND. —To obtain the contribution of one day's "Rcv
enne," from ail the great employingestabliseinents, firms,
corporations, companies, railroads and works.
THIRD. —To obtain the contributions of one's income
from every retired person, and person of fortune—male
and female—living upon their means, and from all clergy
men lawyers, dentists, editors, authors and professors; all
other persons engaged in the learned or other professions.
Much of this work must be performed by the personal
influence and efforts of ladies and gentlemen associated,
or to be associated with the Committee in carrying out
this plan.
The Committee feel the responsibility of the work they
have undertaken, which, to be successful, will require a
very pcriect ramification of their plan, and they therefore
call upon all earnest people, to assemble themselves to
gether in every town, township, aud county, aud form or
ganizations of ladies aud gentlemen to eo-operate with
them in this great work and labor of love. In the manu
facturing counties, the coal and oil regions, and in the
agricultural districts,—especially, lot there be organiza
tions in the large towns, so that the young people may
have an opportunity thus to render assistance to their rel
atives aud friends fighting the battles of the country in
the armies of the nation.
The work of this Committee may be prosecuted where
no other effort can be made for the Fair, as in the mines
of tho eoal regions. A day's earnings of tho miners, and a
day's product of the mines, can be obtained, where no
portable article could be procured for transportation.—
Indeed there is no part or section of these States where
the day's labor may not be obtained, if organizations can
be formed to reach them.
Tho Committee cannot close without urging upon all
Proprietors of Establishments. the duty of taking prompt
and energetic action to secure the benefit of tho DAY OP
LABOR from all within their control.
The Committee deem it unnecessary to do more, than
thus to present the subject to thejpcoplc of the three Statu
named. In the coming campaigns of our armies, the lu
bors of the "Sanitary Commission" will be greatly aug
mented. By the first of June 700,000 men—one of the
largest armies of modern times—will be operating in tho
field. So large a force, scattered over regions to which
the men arc unaeeliioated, Must necessarily carry along
with it a large amount of sickness, suffering and death, to
say nothing of the gathered horrors of the battle field.
These sufferings it is our bounden duty, as men and
Christians, to relieve. A great and enlightened people,
enjoying the blessings of a government of their making,
CANNOT REPT GK assistance to men suffering to maintain its
authority, and wo will not believe that the "GREAT
CENTRAL FAIR," drawing its products from the three
States of Pennsylvania, New .Jersey and Delaware, so af
fluent in 'all mineral, agricultural and industrial wealth,
shall fall behind any similar effort which has vet been
made for the relief of the Nation's children.
As it is desirable not to multiply circulars; no further
authority than this circular will be necessary for any cm
ploying firm or company, or any respectable committee of
ladies and gentlemen, to proceed ut once, in the work of
this committee; and it is hoped that under it, organiza
tions will spring up in all the towns and bury regions of
tho States of Pennsylvania. New Jersey aud Delaware.
Subscriptions will be thankfully acknowledged in the
newspapers of Philadelphia; and it is very desirable that
they commence soon, us each fresh acknowledgment will
stimulate efforts in other localities.
All subscriptions should be addscssed to JOHN W.

HOSTETTERS
Celebrated
STOMACH UTTERS.
A pure and powerful Tonic, corrective and alternative of
wonderful efficacy in disease of the
STOMACHS LIVER AND BOWELS.
Curas Dyspepsia, Liver complaint. Tic:: iache. General de
bility, Nervousness. Depression >f Spirits, Constipation
Colic, Intermittent Fevers, Cramps and Spa-smi, und all
Complaints of either Sax. arising from Bodily Weakness
whether inherent in the svtem or produced by special
causes.
Nothing that is not wholesome, genial and restorative
in its nature eniors into the composition of Hoatetter'a
Stomach Bitters This popular preparation contains no
mineral of any kind, no deadly botanical element : no
fiery excitant : but it i> a combination of the extracts of
rare balsamic herbs and plants with the purest and mild
est of all diffusive stimulants
It is well to be forearmed against disease, and so far aa
human system can be protected by human means against
maladies engendered by an unwholesome atmosphere, im
pure water and other external causes, Hostetter's Bitters
may he relied on as a safeguard.
In districts infested with Ftrcr and Ague, it has been
j found infallible as a preventive and irresistible as a rcm
i edv, and thousands who resort to it tinder apprehension
of an attak, escape the scourges and thousands w ho ueg
i lect to avail themselves of iu protective qualities in ad
j vanee. are cured by a very brief conrse of this marvelous
I medicine Fever and Ague patients, after being plied
! with quinine for months in vaiu. until fairly saturated
with that dangerous alkaloid, and not unfrequently re
stored to health within * few days by the use of Hostet
ter's Bitters.
Tito weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the appe
tite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and hence it works
wonders in cases of Dispepsia and in less confirmed forms
indigestion. Acting as a gentle and painless aperients,
as well as upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the
Constipation superinduced by irregular action of the di.
, gc.stive and secretive organs.
I Persons of feeble habit, liable to AVrrotn Attarks, IHJ
i MI of Spirit*, n.iri Fit of Languor, find prompt and per
manent relief from the Bitters. The testimony on this
poiut is most conclusive, and from both sexes.
The agony of Billions Colic is immediately assuaged by
a single dose of tho stimulant, and by occasionally resort
ing to it, the return of the complaint may be prevented.
As a general Tonic, Hostetter's Bitters produce effects
which must bo experienced or witnessed before they can
be fully appreciated In cases of Constitutional B'eaV
ness, J'rematurs f/eray and Debility and Deeieptitudo
arising from Old Age, it exercises on electric influence.
In the convalescent stages of all diseases it operates as a
invigorant. When the powers of nature are relaxed, it
operates to re-enforco and reestablish them.
Last, but not le.-ist, it is The. Only Safe Stimulant, being
mnnnfactured fromsoundand innoxious materials, and en
tirely free from (he acid elemeuts present more or less in
in all the ordinary tonics and stomachics of the day.
No family mcdiciac has been so universally, and it may
betrnly added, deservedly popular with the intelligent
portion of the community, a* Hostetter's Bitters.
