It Isono of the remarkable facts of this re markable age- not merely that So raanynorsons are the victims of dyspepsia or indigestion, but Its willing victims. Now, we would not bo un derstood to Bay that any one regards dyspepsia with favor, or fedls disposed to rank it among the luxuries of life. Far Irora lt. Those who nave experienced Us torments would scout such an idea. All dread It. and would gladlydlspemo with Us unpleasant familiarities. Mark Tapley . whp was Jolly under all the trying clrcurastnn cesdu which he was placed.nevor bad an attack of dyspepsia, or his jolllly would-have speedily forsaken him. Mon and women sometimes suffer Us tortures uncomplainingly, but whoev er heard of a person who enjoyed them ? * Of all the multifarious diseases to which the human system Is liable, there Is perhppsho one so generally prevalent os dyspepsia. There are 4fsenses, more acute and painful, which ■'raore-frequentjyprove,jfalal, but none, the ef* feels of which are so depressing" to” the so positively distressing to the body. If there is a wretched being in the world It is A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC, But It is notour Intention to dlscantontho hor- rors of Dyspepsia. To describe them truthfully is simply an Impossibility, but It Is possibly to point out a remedy. Wo have said that dyspep sia is perhaps the most universal of human dis eases. This Is emphatically the case in the United States. Whether this general preva lence is duo to the character oi the food, the method of Us preparation, or the hoary manner in which it Is usually swallowed, is not our pro vince to explain. The great fact with which we are called to deal Is this: f DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS almost Universally. 'Nearly every, other person you meet is a vic tim, an apparently willing one, for were this not the case, why so many rullerers, when a certain, speedy and safe remedy Is 'within the easy reach of all who desire lo avail themselves of it? Bat the majority will not. Blinded by preju dice, or deterred by some other unexplained in fluence, they refuse to accept the relief profer ed them. They turu a deaf ear to the testimony of life thousands whose sufferings have been al leviated, and with strange Infatuation, appear to cling with desperate determination to tnelr ruthless tormentor. But says a dyspeptic; What Is this remedy? to which we reply: 3?hls great alleviator of human suffering is almost as widely known as tho English language. It has allayed the agonies of thousands, ana is to-day carrying comfort and encouragement to thou sands of others. This acknowledged panacea Is none other than Dr, HOOFLAND’S GERMAN BITPERS. Would you know more of the merits of this wonderful medicine than can bo learned from the experience of others? Try lt*yourself, and when it has failed lo fultl the assurance of Its efficacy given by the proprietor, then abandon faith In ft. . ' . ' 'LET IT BE REMEMBERED, first of all, that Hoofland's Gorman Bitters Is not a rum beverage. They are not alcoholic in any sense of the term. They are composed wholly of tho pure juice or vital principle of roots. This Is nota mere assertion. Tho extracts from which they are compounded nro, prepared by one.of the ablest Gorman chemists. Unlike any other Bitters In the market, they are wholly free from spirituous Ingredients, The-objections which hold with so much force against preparations of this class, namely—that n desire for intoxicating drinks Is stimulated by their use, are not valla In the cose of the German Bitters. 80 far from encouraging or inculallng a taste or desire for inebriating beverages, It may bo confidently as* sened that their tendency is in a dlametrlcallv . opposite direction. -Their efforts can be . BENEFICIAL ONLY ’ In all cases of tho biliary system Hootiand’> German Bitters stand without an equal, acting promptly and vigorously upon the Liver, they lomove Its torpidity and cause healthful score-, tlon of bile—thereby supplying the stomach with the mokt Indispensable elements of sound digestion in proper proportions. They give tone to the stomach—stimulating its functions, and enabling 11 lo perform ite duties as nature de signed ft should db. ■ They Impart vigor and strength to the entire system, causing the pa tient to feel like another being—in fact, giving hitQ a ; tiew lease of life. k THEY PURIFY THE BLOOD, cleansing the vital fluid of all hurtful impuri ties and supplying,them-with the elements of genuine healthiulness. In a word, there is scarfcely a -disease. In which they cannot bo safely and beneficially employed; but In that. most generally prevalentdlstressingand dread ed%tysease, Dyspepsia, . THEY STAND UNRIVALED. Npw, there are certain, classes' of persons to when? extreme liters are not oniy.unpalata ble, but. who find it impossible to -take them without positive discomfort. For such Dr. HOOFLAND’S GERMAN TONIC has been, specially prepared. Ills intended for use Where aslightalchohol stimulant is requir ed In connection with the well-known Tonic ‘properties of the pure German Bitters., This Tonic contains all the Ingredients of the Blttert, but’bo flavored as to remove the extreme bitter ness. This preparation Is not only palatable, but combines, in modified form, all the virtues of the German Bitters. The solid extracts of some of Nature's choicest restoratives are held in solution by,a spirituous agent ot the purest quality. In cases of languor or excessive debil ity ,iwhore the system appears to have become exhausted of Its enenglea, ' HOOPLAND’S TONIC, acts with almost marvelous effect. It not only stimulates the flagging and wasting energies, but invigorates ana permanetly strengthens Its action upon the Liver and Stomach thorough* perhaps less prompt than the Bitters, when the same quantity is taken is none tho less certain. Indigestion, Bllllousness, Physical or Nervous Frostrotion, yield readily to its potent influence. It gives the invalid a new and stronger bold upon life, removes depression, of spirits, and in spires cbeerfuldess. Jt supplants the pain of disease with tho ease ana comfort of perfect health. It gives strength to weakness, throws despondency to the winds, and starts tho re stored Invalid upon a newond gladsome career. But Dr. Hoofland’s benefactions to the haman race are not confined to his celebrated GERMAN BITTERS, • or his invaluable Tonic. He has prepared an other medicine, woich is rapidly winning its way to popular favor because of its intrinsic merits. This is HOOFLAND’S PODOPHYLLIN PILLS, a perfect substitute for mercury, without any of mercury’s evil qualities. These wonderful' Pills, which arc intended to act upon tho Liver, are mainly composed of Pbdopbyilin, or the VITAL PRINCIPLE Of' THE MANDRAKE ROOT. Now we desire the reader to distinctly undcr . stand that this extract of the Mandrake is many times more power Ail than the Mandrake itself. It is the medicinal virtues of this health-giving plant in a perfectly pure and hlghlv concentra ted form. Hence It is that two oil the Poaophyl lin Pills constitute a full dose, while anywhere six to eight ora handful of other preparations of the Mandrake are required. The Phodophyi iln ACTS DIRECTLY ON THE LIVER, stimulating its functions and causing It to make its biliary secretions in regular, and proper quantities. The injurious results which invari ably follow the use of mercury Is entirely avoided by their use. But it Is not upon the •"Liver only that their powers are exerted. The extract of Mandrakecontained In them Is skill fully combined with four other extracts, one of which acts hpon the stomach, one upon the up n<>r bowels, one upon tho lower bowels, and one pi events any griping effect, thus producing a pill that lufiences the digestive and alimentary sys tem, ir an equal and harmonious manner, and its action entirely free from nausea, vomiting or griping pains common to all other purgatives, Possessing these much desirable qualities, tho Podophylliu becomes Invaluable as a FAMILY MEDICINE. No household should bo without them. They are perfectly safe,.require but two foran ordina rv dose, are prompt and efficient in action, and when used in connection with Dr. Hoofiand’s German Bitters, or Tonic, may be regarded as certain specifics in all cases of Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, or any of the disorders to which the system Is ordinarily subjeo, Tbe PODOPHYLLIN PILLS. act upon tho stomach and bowels, carrying off Improper obstructions! .while tbe Bitters or To nic purify the blood, strengthen and invigorate the frame, give tone and Appetite to the stom ach, and thus build up tbe Invalid anew.

Mr- Ellis was a man of kind and ten der feeling, but quick-tempered and im pulsive. He had a eon, ten years-old, a bright, handsome, generous-hearted boy, who inherited his father's impulsive character. A quick-tempered father and a thoughtless, impulsive boy are apt to get into sharp collision at times, and so it was with Mr- Eilfa and bis little son. The father’s commands were not always obeyed, and as’tbe father bad some strict notions In regard to obedience, punish ments jarred amid the household harmo nies rather more frequently than a wise regard to justice and humanity would have approved. The hasty temper and foregone conclusions of Mr. Ellis made his discipline ofteuer cruel than reforma tory. A single instance will illustrate our meaning, and that is the story we wish to relate. It was a pleasant summer afternoon, and Wiille Ellis came out from bis moth er’s bands, clad all in white linen, and looking as sweetaud pure as innocence it self. The house stood only a short dis tance from the river, on the banks of which the boy was fond of sporting, and in the ooze of which he sometimes soiled bis garments in asadway, much to tbe discomfort of himself and his mother. 4 Willie,’said Mr. Ellis, as the boy passed out, ‘where are you going?’ *Only to play,’ answered the roguish mouth. *To play—where?’ ‘With Eddie Wheeler, down at his house*’ 1 • " ‘Did your mother say you -might go there?’ - ‘Yes, sir.’ ‘Very well; all right then. But mind one tbing—yoii are not to go down to the river. Yesterday you came home with your clothes soiled and wet. I won’t have that again. Bo remember what I’ve said —don’t go to tbe river.’ ‘Not if Mr. Wheeler lets Eddie go?’ There was a half-pleading look In the young, bright face.. ‘No,’was tbe imperative answer; I’ve said don’t go near the river, and if you disobey me I’ll punish you severely.’ Wiille’s step had lost some of its airy lightness when be moved on again. ‘Mind that you don’t forget 1’ called tbe father after him. The boy heard, but did not look back or make any response, which a little annoy ed Mr. Ellis, who had grown very sensi tive on the score of strict obedience. ‘lt wouldn’t at all surprise me,’ be said to himself, ‘if he were to come home .In an hour all covered with river mud. He is so thoughtless, or self wllled—l hardly know which ; but children must be made to obey. That’s tbe discipline to enforce* at all hazzards; and if he disobeys me this time, he will have cause to remember It as long as be lives.’ Something had gone wrong with Mr. Ellis, and he was in a sterner mood than usual* Moods of mind, rather than a sense of justice, oftenest influence our conduct with reference to others. We act from a state of felling more frequent ly than from.considerations of right. Mr. Ellis went awny from home soon after and returned in an hour. Ashestood at the door, and glanced around for a mo ment before entering, he saw Wilde in a plight, wet and sailed from bead to foot, slink through the garden gate.— Tbe boy noticed him, and was endeavor ing to get into the house without being seen. But at tbe door where he hoped to enter unobserved, he encountered a stern and angry face.' A few qulc? strides hud brought his father there. ‘Bo you have been to the river, after all that I said.’ The boy lifted a pale face and frightened eyes. ‘Didn’t I tell you not to go to the riv er f’ A vlce-ilke grip was already on his lit tle arm. * ‘Yes, sir,' came through quivering Ups. ‘And you went for alii’ ‘But, father .’ ‘Not a word, air, I told you cot to go to the river, didn’t I?’ ‘Eddie Wheeler-— ’ The poor child tried to explain. ‘I don’t want to hear about Eddie Wheeler. He can’t excuse your disobe dience. Come, sir, we’Jl settle this busi ness!’ and he dragged the whj,ts-faced boy after him, upstairs to tho enrret, and taking down a rod, swung It in the air above his head. ‘O father I Don’t! Let me tell you ?’ A look, almost like despair, was in tho boy’s face. Mr. Eliis remembers It to this day; and will remember it to tlio day of bis death. Proprietor. ‘I don’t wish to hear any excuses,’ was replied, as the lithe rod came down upon' the shrinking child, with a stroke that made every nerve quiver with pain. INicaL A. aw*iionse Dayton, MOUTH TO EAR. ‘O father I* Once more the mild, appealing look, so full of agooy> was lifted to the stern face above him, but lifted In vain. A second cruel stroke fell, and then a rain of strokes, until the father’s sense of pity, intruding between anger and unforgiving justice stayed l)ia arm.' Ho went down stairs, left the boy lying in the middle of the floor, as he had dropped from his hand motionless as It he were extinct. He met the pale, suffering mother belpjv—she loved the boy tenderly, and felt every smarting blow—but he passed her with out a word. Sbe had seen Willie as he encountered.his father at the door, and understood the punishment. Mr. Ellis went out into the porch to breathe the free air, and cool the sudden excitement under which 1 be had been daborlngp Jibe door behind him, in a kind of instinctive effolr• separate himself from a painful scene, he stood face to face with Mr. Wheeler.. A hand grosped his hand in a quick, strong pressure. ‘lt was a brave act! He's a noble boy! Where is he?' ‘I don’t understand you,’said Mi .Ellis looking bewildered. ‘Didn't he tell you ?' ~ ‘Tell me what?.’ ‘How be sprang into the river and saved my little Eddie’s life ?’ ‘I heard nothing of it.’ There was a choking sensation in Mr. Ellis’ throat—bis voice was faint and husky. «*And he didn’t tell you! Brave, noble boy i He came over id play with Eddie; and Eddie wanted to go down to the river; but 'Williesaid he couldn’tgo to the river. I beard Eddie coaxing him, but Willie was firm, because he said you bad told, him not to go. I was so pleased with his obedient spirit. Well, I lostsight of them after a little while ; but, as 1 learn, Ed die would go down to the river, and your boy followed him, but kept v a distance from, the water.' Instead of climbing over the logs and barrels,.or getting into the boats, he sat by.himself a way off.— Then, sir, my Eddie, in leaning over the river slipped and fell in; and,your boy, instead of running away, half frightened out of his senses, as most children of bis age wouldhave done, sprang down to the wharf, and into the water after Eddie. I wonder they were not both drowned. It was only in God’s mercy, that they were saved. When tbe man who saw .what bad happened got to the place, and look over the dock Into the water, there was Willie, holding on to a ring in one of the logs with hia right hand,and clinging to Eddie with his left. Such courage, and presenceofmind in a boy almost surpasses belief! Where is be? He tan off home, as soon as the mao lifted him from tbe water. I must thank him for this noble act.’ . At this moment, tbe door opening in to the porch swung back, and the, white lace of Mrs. Ellis looked out. ‘0 husbandshe exclaimed in a voice of terror, ‘come to Willie, quick I’ Mr. Ellis followed his wife, and the neighbor hurried after them. The moth er bad found her boy lying insensible on tbe garret floor, and lifting him in her arms, had.brought him dowb stairs, and laid him in bis wet clothes upon her. own bed. A b Mr. Ellis came into the room, he saw the deathly face turned toward the door. The sight seemed te blast bis vision. He struck his bands together, shut his eyes, aud stood still suddenly. ‘Will you run for the doctor V said Mrs. Ellis to the neighbor. The neighbor did literally as the moth er s*id; he ran all the way to the physi cian’s residence. By the time tbe doctor arrived Willie’s wet garments had been removed. He asked but few questions as to the meaning of the boy’s condition, Mr. wuo«u«r bad told of bis heroic conduct, and the infer ence was that there had been an over excitement of the brain, leading to asus pended animation. Still tbe case puz zled him. ‘He may have been hurt jumping from the whan/ suggested Mr. Wheeler, The doctor on this bint examined the body. ‘What is this.?’ he asked as along, pur ple stripe, lying across the back and shoulders, met bis eyes. ‘And this?’ be added as be came upon another. ■ Mr. Ellis turned his face away, sick at heart; be could not follow the doctor’s eyes. ‘He may have been hurt internally, ’ said the doctor, drawing back the clothes, and uncovering the fair body, that was marked with cruel linos. He was right in that, but the injury was deeper than beimagined. It was the boy’s tender spirit ybich had been hurt. ‘This will not last, doctor ?’ The pale lips of Mr. Ellis quivered as he asked the question. *1 think not,’ was the uncertain reply. It did not last. There came soon after signs of returning vitality. The neigh bors went horae—the doctor retired—and the father and mother were lelt alone with the brave-hearted boy, who had been wronged so cruelly. Mr. Ellis could not bear to look at him. He'felt twice over, upon his own heart, the blows he had given. There was such rebuke in the pale face and shut eyes of the boy, who had not yet spoken, or recognized any one, that he could not stay in the chamber. Every moment be looked to see the eyes open, and how could he meet their gaze. Mr. Ellis had been away from the room for only a few minutes, when the bushed 'voice of his wife calling to him reached his ears., He came to where she stood — half-way down the stairs. ‘Has he recovered ?’ asked the father. ‘Yes. He opened his eyes and looked all around the room, almost as soon as you wentout. Then he shuttbem again, as if to think ; and then looking up,after a little while, said, ‘Where, is father?’ I told him you were down stairs, and he said, ‘Won’t you call him ?” Mr. Ellis went up to meet his child in. a state of mental depression difficult to be conceived. He could have faced almost any imagined danger, with less of shrink ing than be now felt in going into the presence of Willie. But tbere_.was.no holding back. What did the boy wont? What had.hejo say ? How would he re ceive him ? These questions crowded and bewildered his mind. He pushed open the door softly and went in. The boy’s waiting ears had heard the almost noiseless feet approaching, and his eyes were upon the entrance. Mr. Eliis did not speak, but came over to the bed. *0 father! I didn’t do wrong—l wasn’t disobedient,’ said Willie, making an eff ort to rise from his pillow, and speaking with eagerness. ‘I tried lo tell you, but y< u wouldn’t hear- 1 -—.’ He was goiug on, but his father caught him up, and, us he drew him tightly to his heart, answered, ‘I know It oil, my brave, brave boy'!’ Then Willie’s arms found their way to his father’s neck, und clung there tightly. His cheeks, when his head went back upon ihe pillow from which he bad risen, were wet, but not with his own tears. Could father or child ever forget that day 7 The child wight; but the falher— never! , O hasty, Impulsive, passionate father 1 take warning In time. Be on your guard. Hear before you strike. Punish not on any hasty provocation. Take nothing for granted. .It Is a sad, sad thing to bear through life a memory like that wbich< burdens the heart of Mr. Ellis whenever the thought goes backward into the irret vocable past. A.

Half done’—a capital sign, by the way, for.all half price places —had the effect of tickling more fees out of passing pockets than could have been secured by more 'serious means. Peters was colleagued on the bench with Justice Washington of the Supreme Court—a quiet, severe man? of whom he used to strict judge, while he was the District •Judge. Justice Washington was in the habit of delivering tbe opinions of the court, and was, moreover,noted for a very vigorous appetite—two facts which ofteu caused hisassuclateto call himthe mouth piece of the ,court. A superlative spinner, of naval yarns, on returning from a cruise, assured a. festive assemblage, of whom the judge was one, that be bud encoun tered a soap island, which he elaborately described. When he had finished, the judge blandly requested to be informed if the making of tlmt Island dldu’t require a d—d >deul of lie. At an agricultural dinner he entertained a countryman of more candor than courtesy by telling extraordinary stories; and when he paus ed, the mau shouted, ‘Tell us some more of your. Harnal lies.’ He did not like the low dresses of the ladies at the Lafayette ball,and said it was neck or nothing with them. Being joked about the probability of his nose and chin —which .bad great approximation—eventually meeting and quarreling, he said he apprehended it himself, as a great many words had been passing between them. Being asked If the Schuylkill bridge would answer, he informed, tbe inquirer that if he would ask at the gate he would be tolled; adding that, at all events, it would be tried by its piers. ( . He once projected a town called Man tua, and in fixing up an engraved, plan of it to a post, at a corner of the road for the information of purchasers, he placed a glass cover, to it, because be said tbe guunefs would pepper it with shot if left unprotected,, and everybody would see through his plan. The project, however, languished, and when one Of his neigh bors observed that be ought to complete the laying of it out, ‘ Yes, yes, indeed,’ be sighed; ‘its high time to lay it out, for it has been dead these two years. 1 , A neighbor who kept a very noisy pack of bounds once complained of suffering from ague. ‘Bless my soul I’ he exclaimed ; ‘can’t you cure it with that bark?’ At the trial of some pirates in South Carolina, the' District Judge acquitted them for want of a corama in law. ‘So, for want of a comma, the doings of the rascals will never be brought to a full stop.’ One of tbe members of r tbe State Legislature, when the judge was Speaker thereof, in crossing tbe ball, tripped and fell, on which, of course, the Legislators burst into a laugh.. ‘Order, order, gentlemen; don’t you see that a member is on tbe floor?’ \£osa rebuke which did uotrestore them to gravity. Belngaccused of having called the city of Washington a hell, he denied the charge, on tbe ground that he was too well aware, from the affair at Bladensburg, that its inhabitants could not stand Are. On the Western expedition against tbe whiskey insurgents, Judge Vetera, who accompanied Geu Washington as District Judge, happened, ope day, to stop at a log cabin where the interstices of the logs let In a good deal more air than was at all pleasant. Complaining of the cold and damp: to tbe landlord, he was told they didn’t mind such trifles there.— ‘That may be, sir; ond you may add that you are a highly hospitable man, for you keepopen house.'An ex-deputy attorney general continued from custom to use tbe technical phrases of the'public prosecu tor, and apologized for the same, ‘Yes, yes,’ said the judge, ‘ you are like the clapper of a bell, that keeps wagging after it has done sounding.’ When Peters accompanied the expedi tion against the insurgents in 1704, as stated above, be and Hamilton, then-the Secretary of the Treasury, undertook to pitch a tent, and while Hamilton was awkwardly digging the ditch, Peters at tempted with a dull axe to point thd pins. As he was hacking away* unconscious of observation, he heard a laugh behind him, and on looking round he beheld Col, Guerney, and some of bis officers, making merry at his efforts. The Colonel commanded a regiment of loafers, whose repute was such that they were denomi nated the Babes of Grace. ‘Why, judge,’ t?aid the Colonel, ‘you have an axe that wants a new edge/’ ‘True,’ said Peters, ‘and you have a regiment which would willingly steal it,’ To some one whose patriotism was more a matter of interest than principle, and who laughed at him for the rustlness of a coat he was wearing, be explained the cause thereof by saying that his coat looked weather beaten from his never turning it. Once, when the judge was standing near Lafayette, a young military officer, In addressing the latter, exclaimed* ‘Sir, although we were not born to partake of your revolutionary hardships, yet should our country be at tacked we will not fail to tread in the shoes of our forefathers,’ ‘No, no, sir,’ interrupted the judge, ‘that you can’t do, for they fought barefooted.’ An old Col. Forest coming up to the General, fell upon hia neck and began to blubber Peters whispered to the unfortunate vic tim that tbeie were many kinds of trees in our forests, and that this , one was a weeping willow. ‘Why don’t you buy land in North Carolina?’ asked a friend of the judge. ‘l’d rather buy it in . the moon,’ was the reply,.‘for then I might sometimes see my purchase’—a l uply not altogether in harmony with Macauley’s dictum, that an acre in Middlesex is worth a principality in Utopia. —From JuippincoWa Magazine.

Seth Hawkins was as flub a specimen of manhood as could be seen--tall, broad shouldered, well proportioned, with eyes of tbe deepest blue, light hair, a ruddy countenance, which betokened a famili arity with out-door occupation. Suffice It to say, he was a farmer, aud well-to-do in this world’s goods, but, afflicted with a disease called bashfulness: He was deeply in Jove with a pretty, sparkling, roguiah-eyed lass,* whom we shall call Sally T . Seth could talk politics, farming, and upon all the topics of tbe day, when not in Sally’s company; but when he become seated in her presence, hia courage left him, and he leit tbe talking to be. done by bally, answering only in monosylla bles. ■ , The latter guessed how matters stood with him, and in a spirit of mischief she. Increased his embarrassment by several little remarks, which almost drove him to distraction, and made him think his case’ hopeless. V He had .courted Sally for a long time, but .had never found sufficient courage to know his fate. One pleasant Sunday evening he again sallied, forth, determined to learu the worst, and to ask the maid to bo his. He found her sitting by a bright blazing fire, in the kitchen, and prettier than ever, with .fief rosy cheeks and laughing eyes. Her mother sat in an old-fashioned rock- ing chair, reading her bid bible, while a candle, settingon astand close by, served to light the apartment, , , Bbe seated him in a chair near the fire; and after making a few remarks,to which be gave the usual monosyllable answers, he [caught Sally’s eyerrind- she turned hen head with a smile. He felt, the blood rush to hia bead and. face, as he scanned hia person over tosee, if lie could discover the object of Sally’s mirth, wheu lo! ' on turning his bead half around, he discovered some, white, cloth behind hira., Now, tbe question was—what could it be? " • ' He waited another opportunity, and when Sally was not looking, put his arm behind him, and slipping his baud under the edge of hia jacket, proceeded to push it down Into the back of bis pants. He felt a relief, and on looking up, he' perceived.that Sally wos'Convulsed ?vith suppressed laughter. •' He looked around again, and, to his utter astonish meat, found that, Instead of the cloth disappearing, it seemed larger than before. "♦ The. perspiration started in every pore, and With a quick, nervous push; be made another effort to get it out of, sight,— An • opportunity soon; presented Itself,, wheu he made a finish of it, and With the perspiration standing in drops ail over hia forehead, he felt almost out of E alienee with Sally for building such a ofc fire. At the moment of its disappearance, Sally, who bad been watching affairs on the sly, burst into a loud peal of merry laughter, and rushed into the room ad joining, giving the door a violent slam, which caused the old lady lo look up .with astonishment, and Seth to seize his hat and rush, from the house, towards home, us fast as hia legs could carry him, audio anything but a happv frame of mind. Sally soon made her appearance again, apd her.mother remonstrated with her upon her uuchristlan-llke conduct on a Sabbath evening. iQally bore it. with as much composure as possible, but said, nothing to the old lady of the cause of her mirth,s Pretty soon the old lady made prepar ations for bed, and soon began to search for her night-gown; but failing to find it, came out of the bed room, saying : ‘Sally, where is ray night dress? X left it somewhere, and I can’t tell for Che life of me, where,’ ‘ Why, ð Hawkins wore it home /’ she replied. ‘What! wore it home ?’ Amid tears and laughter, Miss Sally explained the events of the evening to her mother. The next afternoon ahoy rapped at.the dobr, and presented a package-for Miss Sally, .which she soon opened, and found the unlucky night dress, nicely washed and ironed, wkb the following woids written on a bit of paper, in pencil : ‘I am much obliged to you for the use of it.—SETH.’ The next day they met; he louud bis bashfulness had disappeared, and before leaving Sally, he had gained her consent to be his own little wife. ' . Years hava elapsed since that eventful night, but Seth is never weary of telling his, children how he won their mother through the old lady’s night dress. .

A few days ago there was a settlement In Seabrook, the inhabitants, of which were known In this Vicinity as Alger ines. Although but five miles from Ntw buryport, this people, living off from the main road by themselves, were but little above the condition of savages.
