JACKSON, PRILADELPIII4, PA Twenty-two years since they were first introduced in to tbl. oonn.try from Germany, durtng which time they have undoubtedly performed more cures, and benefited suffering humanity to a greater extent, then shy other remedies known to the public. These remedies will effectually core Liver Complaint, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Chronic or Nervous Debility Chron ic Dierrhate„ Disease of the Kidneys, and all Dbesses &tieing from a Disordered Liver, Stomach, er Intestines. Resulting from any Cause whatever; PROSTRATION OF THE SYSTEM, induced by Severe Labor, Hard ships, Exposure, Fevers, etc. There is no medicine extant equal to these remedies in sneh eases. A tone and *lgor is imparted to the *bole rioter°, the appetite is strengthened, toed is enjoyed, the stomach digests promptly, the blood is purified; the corn. plection becomes sound and healthy, the .3 *How tinge is eradicated from the eyes, a bloom Is given to ths cheeks, and the weak and nervous in•alid becomes a strong and healthy being. And feeling the. hand of time weighing heavily upon theta, with all its attendant ills, will find in the use o. this BITTEM, or the TONIC, an elixir that will instil Dew fife into their veins, restore In a measure the energy and ardor of more youthful days, build up their shrunk en forms, and give health and happinen to their remain ing years.

Ate made strong by the woof either of these remedies. They will mire every use of bfAltAB3ll7ls, without fall.

WANTING FRLEND9.—"I wish that I had some good friends to help me on in life?" cried idle Dennis with a yawn. "Good friends!. Why, you have ten!" re plied his master. • "I'm sure I haven't half so many ; and those I have are too poor to help me." "Count your fingers, my boy," said his master. Dennis looked at his large, strong hands. "Wont thumba and all," added the mas- "I have ; there are ten," said the lad "Then never say you have not got ten good friends, able to help you on in life. Try what those true friends can do, before you begin grumbling and fretting because yon 'do not get help fi.= others."

A MSDIOAL comtemporary thus enumerates the fashionable mode of doing It: 1. Wearing of thin shoes and cotton stock- Inge on damp nights and in cool, rainy weath er. Wearing Insufficient clothing, and especi ally upon the limbs and extremities. 2. Leading a life of enfeebling, stupid lazi ness, and keeping the mind in an unnatural state of excitement by reading trashy novels. Going to thea.ers, parties, and •balls in all sorts of weather, in the thinnest possible dress. Dancing till in a completeperspiration, andthen going home without sufficient over garments, through the cool, damp' night air B. Sleeping on feather beds to seven-by nine bed-rooms, without ventilation at the top of the windows, and especially with two or more persons in the same small, unventilated bed-room. 4. Surfeiting on hot anti very stimulating dinners. Eating in a hurry, without half masticating the food, and eating heartily be fore going to bed, when the mind and body are exhausted by the toils-of the day and the excitement of the evening. 5. Beginning in childhood on tea and cof fee, and going from one step to another, through chewing and smoking tobacco and drinking intoxicating liquors; by personal abuse, and physical and mental excesses of other descriptions. G. 3larrying in haste and getting an uncongenial companion, and living the re mainder of life in mental dissatisfaction; cul tivating jealousies and domestic broils, and being always in a mental ferment. 7. Keeping children quiet by giving pare goric and cordials, by teaching them to suck candy, and lid supplying them with raisins, nuts, and rich cake ; when they are sick by giving them mercury, tartar emetic, arse nic, under the mistaken notion that they are medicines and not irritant poisons: 8. Allowing the love of gain to absorb our minds, so as to ;cave no time to attend to our health ; following an unhealhty occupation because money can be made by it. 9. Tempting the appetite with bitters and niceties when the stomach says No, and by forcing food into it when natwe does not de mand, and even rejects it; gormandizing be tween meals. 10. Contriving to keep in a continual wor ry about something or nothing ; giving way to fits of anger. 11. Being irregufar in all our .habits of l.:vping and eating going to bed at mid night and geting up at noon ; eating too much ; too many kinds of food, and that which is too highly seasoned_ 12. Neglecting to take proper care of our selves, and not apply early for medical ad vice when disease first appears ; taking cele brated quack medicines to a degree cf mak ing a drug-shop of the body. The above causes produce more sickness, suflering, and death than all epidemics, ma laria, and contagion, combined with war, pes tilence,and famine. Nearly all who have at tained to old age have been remarkable for equanimity of temper, correct habits of diet, drink, and rest—for temperance, cheerful ness, morality.

PROF. S of Dickinson College, is not much given to joking. Occasionally, however, this vein of his disposition is excited, and then his hits are of the hai•dest kind, and double edged. One morning not long ago, he found a horse in the recitation-room. The class had collected, and with solemn countenance awaited the entrance of the professor. He came in, looked around deliberately, first up on the horse, then upon the class, and re marked, at the same time twitching his shirt collar: "Ahern! You have got, a new class mate, I see. I'm glad it's a horse; there were jackasses enough before."—College Courant. TETE pastor of a popular churh at the South End, on Sabbath evening, at the Sunday school concert, said, "Boys. when I heard your beautiful songs to-night, I had hard work to keep my feet still; 'what do you sup pose is the trouble with them?' "Chil blains, sir," cried out a little six-year -old boy, which, notwithstanding the solemnity of the occasion, set the whole audience in a roar. It is dangerous to question children in public.—Boston Traveller. A TEACHER asked a bright little girl, "What country• was opposite us on the globe?" "Don't know, sir," was her answer.— " Well, now," pursued the teacher, "if I were to bore a hole through the earth, and you were to go in at this end, where would you come out ?" 'Out of the hole, sir," re plied the pupil, with an air of triumph. Tim Charleston Mercury cries out against the new constitution of South Carolina be cause it proves no law against the intermar riage of whites and blacks. Poor chivalry !

WHOLE NO.' 3609 THE HUMAN- VOICL The human voice, when its utterances are clearly articulated, and it is supplied with good Inngs, will fill 400,000 cubic feet of- air, provided they be inclosed ins proper manner, and the voice placed and directed advantage ously. This space, we may remark, by the way, would be represented by a half 125 feet long by SO feet wide and forty feet high. The same voice singing, can fill with equal &dilly 600,000 cubic feet. When singing, the'vowels are principally used, because ft is necessary to dwell upon a note, and we cannot prolong a consonant. In speaking, on the contrary, we depend for ar ticulation on the consonants, buV their short percussive sound does not travel. When we shout, or in open-air speaking, which par takes of shouting, we prolong the vowels, drawing the syllable at each wo,rd, but what we gain in sound is lost in clearness of artic ulation.; expression is lost in monotony; be cause its fineness depends on the infinite va riety of which the consonant is capable and bestows on the vowel. Two thousand voices, singing or speaking together, travel no furth er than one voice. They may fill a certain area more completely with that intricacy of waves which, when very troublesome, we call a din, but each voice exerts its own in fluence on the air according to its power, and dies away within certain limits. A second voice acts independently, and produces its own separated effect, not fortifying. the fir .1 but distinct from it ; and so with any number of voices—say ten thousand—shouting to gether, if a single trumpeter were placed a mong them, the notes of his trumpet would be heard clearly at a distance where the Ba bel of voices would have expired in a mur mur. Yet among the din produced by the ten. thousand notes the trumpet would be inaudi ble. To illustrate this theory more clearly, it is plain that two thousand persons cannot throw stones farther than one person. It is true that the air within certain limits will be. more full of stones, bat they will conk lo the ground within the limited area.—Boueicault. A CRACKEiG 131331388.—An observing man, who was recently traveling in the train, no ticed a gentleman and lady seated in -close jutxapositior, and judging from their conduct, imagined that they were exceedingly intl • In front of the comfortable pair sat two Ger mans. When near- a certain town the train passed through a long dark bridge. Amid the thundering and rattling of the carriages could be heard a noise that sounded for all the world like a concussion of lips. Such hearty smacks startled all the party. As we emerged into daylight one of the Germans slowly drew his spectacles down over his noise, and ex claimed. . - 1;e11, I finks ish a bad bridge : I hears him crack one, two, three, four times. - The lady drew down her veil, and for the remainder of the trip locked mute and quiet. AN English journal vouches for the truth of the following: A few Sabbaths ago, while the minister was conducting public worship in one of the West Mainland churches, the service was interrupted by the entrance of a goose. The psalm had just been given out, and the congregation were begining to sing, when the circumstance attracted the atten- Lion of the precentor, who so far forgot him self that he lost the tune. During the silence which consequently intervened, the minister wampum:l to one of toe omee-bearers to put out the goose. The ofce•bearer, being ig norant of a bona-fide animal of the species, thought it was the precentor that was referred to, and laid hold of Lim with the intention of executing his instructions, which he would have done, our correspondent adds, had not the precentor made a powerful resistance. As exchange says : A neighbor whon bad. repeatedly been urged by some female ac quaintances to accompany them to a skating pond, at last yielded, no longer able to resist the blandishments of his bewitching torment ors. He went. lie said he put on a pair of skates and struck boldly out, and the next thing he knew was himself in bed, the minis ter sitting beside him singing a psalm, the doctor courting his wife, and the undertaker measuring him for a walnut coffin. "Tttav is probably the oldest piece of fur niture in Englandi" said a collector of anti que curiosities to a friend, pointing to a ven erable-looking table as he spoke.

A WELSH girl once appled to a clergyman to be married. The clergyman asked her what property her husband possessed. The answer was, "Nothing." "Are you any bet ter off?" The reply was in the negative. "Then why, in the name of common sense, do you dare to marg?" "rour reverence," said the girl, 4 rbave a blanket and Jack has a blanket ; by putting them both together we shall both be the gainers." The clergyman had nothing to say.
