HOOFLAND'S O HUMAN HITTnUS.
A bitters without Alcohol or Pplrlln of any kind,
H different from all Others. It Is composed of
tho puro Juices, or VirAr.rntNcit'U: or Hoots,
Heiius, and Hark, (or as medicinally termed
Fxtracts.) tho wot thlcss or Insert portions of tho
Ingredients not being used. Therefore in ono
Hottlo of this Hit ten there Is contained as much
inedlcinl vlrtuo as will bo found In several gallons
of ordinary mixtures. Tho Hoots, Ac,, used In
thin Hitters are grown In Oermany, their vital
principles extracted In that country by asclen-
tlflc Chemist, nnu lorwarucu 10 me nmnumcioiy
Jn this city, whero they are compounded and
bottled. Containing no spirituous Ingredients,
his Hitters Is free from tho objections urged
gainst all others; no doslro for stimulants can bo
Induced from tnoir usc.tney cannot mo ice urnnic
arils, nnd cannot under any circumstances, have
any but a beneficial effect.
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC,
Was compounded for thoso not Inclined to ex
trcino bitters, and Is Intended for use in cases
it lien ftoino alcohollo stimulant Is required In
y-i'icotuiecuon wilii uiu aoiiiu propi'mus ui tuu
IfaiJUIers. Each bottlo of tho Tonic contains ono
bollle of thenntenCrninblnod with purcBANTA
CUUZ HUM, nnd flavored in such n manner that
ilio extreme bllternessof thobltters Isovercome,
"'ttnneiiii in lltn tvaljiti. nnd rnnmlnlni? thn mrtil
clnal Utiles of tho Hitters. Tho prlco of tho
Tonic Is tl.50 per Dottle, which many persons
think too high. They must take Into eousldcra
tlon that tho stimulant used Is guaranteed to bo
of a pure quality. A poor article could bo fur
nished at n cheaper price, but Is it not better to
pay a little moro a a liavo n. good nrtlelo? A
medicinal preparation should contain nnno but
the best Ingredients; nnd they who expect to
Main a cheaper compound, and be benefited by
It will most ccrtaluly be cheated.

lows :
You may Imagine, gentlemen, with
what feeling I am standing boforo you
to-day, on tho spot whero I took leavo
of you about eight months ago. Only
audacious selfsunielency could havo
presumed to foretell tho events that
havo occurred in tho Interval. It was
tho v. Ill of Provldenco that such great
things should bo accomplished by us.
Let, us acknowlcdgo that wo havo been

gallantly that it can afford to dispenso
with praise. But 1 11111 moved to thank
you, gentlemen, for all tlio peoplo finvo
dono for tho nrmy. Our warriors wcro
supported by tho consciousness that tho
country was taking caro of their famil
ies, nn thnt thoso disnbled In war might
count upon tho active sympathy of their
compatriots. As regards tho now Insti
tutions of Germany and my personal
position in tho empire, I took the field
socking no advantago for myself, nnd
hardly expecting that wo should attain
so much as wo havo. In tho short span
of life still left to mo, I will endeavor
to dovclop tho seed sown. My successor
will sco tho young tree grow und blos

upon tho crown prince, when tlio burgo

addressed his highness; Tho Crown
Princo then said :
I thank tho roprcsontalivosortho capi

would glvo a slight sketch of a Thlla-

position, equally honorable, whether

lowed, tho reputation secured among
his fellow citizens, or tho reward Inland demoralized. In a few days, tho
worldly wcal'h, which has been tho
result of a Ufo spent In honorablo appli
cation to tho first sound principles of
successful trade. It Is Chas. M. Evans,
whom wo would mention as nn exam
ple of what has been and may bo accom
plished In a steady continuanco In tho
lino already foreshadowed In this article.
Born In the city of brotherly love, son
of n mechanic, who was ablo merely to
sccuro for his child the rudiments of a
common education, but formerly had
given him what Is of much higher con
sequence, a sound mind nnd a healthy
body. Ho was essentially ono of the
masses, a poor boy, with all tho world
before him, in which cither to mako or
mar ins toriune.
Ills first start on tho road to that for
tune and position which ho ultimately
secured was us errand boy in a drug
store ; then a practical Initiation Into
tho mysteries of that trade as an assls
taut, which by earnest, thorough study
ho mndo his own, and which was doubt
less tho grand foundation upon which
all his futuro successes wero reared,
and which fitted him for the battle of
life in that most speculative of all pro
fessions, tho proprietary modiclno bus!
Iness. With n sound, fundamental
knowlcdgo of drugs and combinations,
ho was in n position to analyze and do-
termlno practically nud personally tho
merits of any preparations which might'
como under his notice. And after n
careful and scientific Invtstlgation of
tho ingredients, occult virtues and cs-
sontials necessary ton wido spread pop
ularity of Hoofland's German Blttcrr",
ho ten years ago became one-half pro
prletor. From that hour their success
was insured. Basod, asthoy were upon
true hygienic principles, nnd entirely
freo from that alcoholic baso which
renders othor tonics t,o Injurious physi-'
wily, in many cn.-cs nnd morally ob-
Jectlonablu In others, they only required
a master hand to mako their virtues
known, to compel a surrender on the
part of mankind. Up to this tlmo,
although tho German Bitters had been
in tho world's market for thirty years,
they wero comparatively unknown. He
saw that thoonly courso was a thorough
systcmized and profusoly liberal plan
of advertising, nnd nt onco became ono
of tho mammoth advertisers of the
New World. With consummate tact,
and n Judgraeat almost intuitive, ho
managed tho gigantic schemo of letting
tho world kuow what ho had got, and
on becoming, a few years later, tho solo
proprietor of tho Bitters, ho wn3 as
well known throughout tho length and
breadth of tho land as many proprie
tors of inferior articles which havo ex
isted for n century. The rapidity with
which ho gavo, them their reputation,
cost him nn Immenso sum of monoy,
Thero wns a certnlnty nnd precision in
nil ho undertook to do, which thoso
who fold their hands nnd wonder, call

scrap of history of great. Importance.

God bless you." Ilero Is tho koy to Un
lock tho hidden mysteries of the lato
contest. When Franco declared war
against Prussia, after tho Ilohenzollorn
sclicmo failed in Spain, tho opinion was
generally held and expressed, that Aus
tria nnd Italy would aid Napoleon.
Thero wero good and solid reasons for
such a beliof. Both nations wero deeply
Indobtod Jo Napoloon and France. It
was French troops, led by Napoleon,
that fought tho battles of Montebolio,
Magenta and Solfcrino. It was a French,
Emporor who concluded tho treaty ot
Villa Franca. Lombardy nnd Venice

nnd Froneh diplomacy. Victor Eman

nnd that nation raised to a llrst-class
power by Fronch notion, French lnllu

of French troops from Komo, nnd tho
occupation of that city ns tho capital of
regenerated Italy was, tho crowning act
of French old to Victor Emanuel, and
thusitho obligations of Italy to Franco
wero deepened and mndo moro exact
ing. But for Napoleon nnd tho French,
Austria would havo been dismembered
after' tho Prusso-Austrian war. A short
campaign set jtho forces of tho two

tho heart. It was his intention to hu-
mllltato Francis Joseph; to trample
upon tho Uouso of Hapsburg, and de
spoil Its princely possessions. But an
arralstico wns concluded at tho instanco
of Napoleon, nnd a treaty formed at
Prague, undor tho eyo 01 tno ruler 01
Franco, which liberated Austria from
the blood-stained talon3 of tho iionen-

Austria would, havo shared then tho
fato of France, nt tho present tlmo. She
would havo been shorn of territory and
robbed of money. Such a fate was pro
vented by tho action of Franco and Na
poleon. Under such a pressure of recent
fact It was but natural to conclude when
Prussia and Franco crossed foils with,
tho buttons off, that Austria and Italy
would tako a hand In the struggle.
Especially had tho world a right to look
for such action after tho disastor at
Woerth nnd Sedan. But It camo 'not.
Italy rcmalnod quiet. Austria raised
no volco nor hand. They looked upon
heroic Franco bleeding at every pore,
and kept tholr troops at home. Why
this Ingratitude, this want of action ?
Why were not Austrian and Italian sol
diers seen upon thosoll of Franco? Tho
Emperor of Oermany answors tho ques
tion. "Prussia remembers that you,
tho Czar, prevented the spread of tho
war." That Is tho secret treaty which
Is said to exist between Prussia and
Kussla, and that explains why tho for
mer .stripped her territory of all its
fighting men, and poured them Into
Franco. Tho.Czir had covenanted to
prevent the spread of tho war. Ho was
to ke6p Austria nnd Italy In check,
while Prussia mot Franco on thobattlo

Is prostrate. Prussia Is triumphant.
Now, what is to bo the roward of Rus

did not act without a motive. Ho played
for a heavy stake. What was it ? " Is

It Is nn old saying' that If you do a
mnn nineteen favors, nnd for any rea.son
decline to do him tho twentieth, ito
will forget tno nineteen requests that
you hrtvo granted, and only rememtor
tho ono that you have refused and for
that refusal ho will hate you over nftcr
ward. And this is truo nf somo men; It Is
truo of men of mean nnd narrow na
tures ; but it is not truo of all. It is ni
natural for n noblo soul to cherish a
lively recollection of kindness received,
as it is to breathe. And while wo are
often shocked to sco acts of friendship
towards others, which havo cost us a
good deal (it time and of labor, entirely
overlooked and forgotten, wo not un
frequently, on tho other hand, aro sur
prised by tho grateful reciprocation of
somo favor long slnco rendered, nnd tho
very performance of which had passed
from our own recollection, until ro-
minded of tt by tho recipient.
Wo bavo always regarded gratltudo
as a feeling which Is .hardly susceptlblo
of being taught to nny ono. A lecturo
on gratltudo, to whomsoever addressed,
Instead of awakening that emotion, Is
very npt to engender n feeling of Indig
nation and hatred. Pcoplo nover llko
to be told to be gratoful. And it Is or
no uso to tell them. It Is not natural
to a soul to nppreclnto tho good naturo
of others, it can nover bo taught such
appreciation.
