In the borough of Carlisle, on Saturday, October 2Uth, A.D.,iS7I BY BRATTON & KENNEDY, QNE MILLION oe, lives saved It Is one of the remarkable facts of this ro* markable age- not merely that so mauynersons are tho victims of dyspepsia or Indigestion, but Its willing victims. Now, wo would not bo un derstoocl to say that any one regards dyspepsia with favor, or feels disposed to rank It among the luxuries of life. Far irom it. Those who have experienced Its torments would scout such an idea. All dread it. and would gladly dispense with Its unpleasant familiarities. Mark Tapley who wasjouy under Ail the tryluaolroumstau ces lu which he was placed, never ifad an attack of dyspepsia, or his Jollity would have speedily forsaken, him. Men and womeu sometimes suffer its tortures uncomplainingly, but whoev er heard of a person who enjoyed them ? ’ Ofalltho multifarious diseases to which Iho human system Is liable, there Is perhaps no one so generally prevalent ns dyspepsia. There are diseases more acute and painful, and which feels of wnlch are so depressing to tUemlnd ana so positively distressing to tho body. If there Is p wretched being la tho world it is A. CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC. hut H is notour intention to discuutou tho hor rors of Dyspepsia. To describe them truthfully s simply un. impossibility, but it la possibly to point out a remedy. Wohavesatd thutdyapep sla Is perhaps the most universal of human dis eases. This is emphatically the cose.in the United Btates, Whether this general preva lence Is duo to the character oi the food, the method ol Us preparation, or the hasty manner in which It Is usually swallowed. Is not our pro* jvluce to explain. Tho great fact with which we are culled lu deal Is tills: ' 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 t uiiSreru, when u certain, speedy aud safe remedy Is within the easy reach of all who desire to avail themselves of it? But the majority will not. Blinded by preju dice, or deterred by some other unexplained in lluence, they refuse to accept the relief profer ed them. They turn a deaf ear to the testimony of the thousands whose sufierlngs have been al leviated, and with strange iulatuatUn, appear to cling wit,U disperato determination to their ruthless tormentor. But says a dyspeptic: Whut is this remedy? to which we reply: This great alleviator of human suffering Is almost as widely known as the English language. It has allayed the agonies of thousands, and Is to-day carrying comxort and encouragement to thou sands of others. This acknowledged pauaceuis none other than Dk. HOOFLAND’S GERMAN BITTERS. :ans you know more ol the merits ol this wonderful medicine than can bo learned from the experience of others 7 Try It yourself, and when ft' has failed to fulfil the assurance of its eflicucy given by the proprietor, then abandon faith In it. LET IT BE REMEMBERED. first of all, that Hoollund’s German Bitters la not a rum beverage. They are not alcoholic In any sense of the term. ’ They are composed wholly of the pure Juice or vital principle of roots, This is not a mere assertion. The extracts from which they are compounded are prepared by one of the ablest German chemists. Unlike any other Bitters In the market, they are wholly free from* spirituous Ingredients, The objections which hold wllh so much force against preparations of this class, namely—that a desire .for intoxicating drinks Is stimulated by their use, are not valid in the cos© of the German Bitters. So far from encouraging or luculatlug a taste or desire for Inebriating beverages, it may bo confidently as» sorted that their tendency is in n diametrically opposite direction. Their olforts can bo BENEFICIAL ONLY In all cases of the biliary system Hoolland’a German Bitters stand without an equal, acting promptly and vigorously upon the Liver, they remove its torpidity and cause hbnlthful secre tion of bile—thereby supplying the stomach with the most Indispensable elements of sound digestion In proper proportions. -They give tone to the stomach—stimulating Its functions, aud enabling It to perform ite duties us nature de signed It should‘do. They impart vigor and strength to the entire system, causing the pa tient to feel like another being—in fact, giving him a new lease ofllfo. - THEY PURIITY THE BLOOD. cleansing the vital fluid of all hurlful Impuri ties and supplying them with the elements of genuine hculthlulness. In a word, there is scarcely a' disease In whioh they cannot be safely and beneficially employed; but In that most generally prevulOntdlstresslngand dread ed disease, Dyspepsia, . THEY STAND UNRIVALED. Now, there are certain classes of persons to whom extreme Bitters are not only unpalata ble. but who find it Impossible to take them without positive discomfort. For such Dll. HOOFLAND’S GERMAN TONIC has been specially prepared. It Is Intended for use where a slight alchohol 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 so flavored,as to remove the extreme bitter- ness, This propurutlon la not only palatable, but combines, In modified form, uii tho virtues of the German Billers. Tho solid extracts of somo of Nature's choicest restoratives aro held in solution by a spirituous agout ol tho purest Quality. In cases of languor or excessive debil ity,Vliere the system appears to have become exhausted of Its energies. - acts with almost marvelous effect. It notony stimulates the bagging and wasting energies, but invigorates and pertnunoUy strengthens its action upon tho Liver and Htomach thorough, perhaps less prompt than tho Bitters, when tho same quantity Is taken is none tho less certain. Indigestion, Bllilousness, Physical or Nervous Prostrotlon, ? ieid readily toils potohtlufiuence. It gives tho Invalid a new and stronger hold upon life, removes depression of spirits, and in spires cheerfulness. It supplants tho pain of disease with the ease and comfort of perfect health. It gives strength to weakness, throws despondency to the winds, nud starts the re stored Invalid upon a new and gladsome career. But Dr. Hoofiand’s benefactions to tho human race are not confined to his celebrated or his invaluable Tonic. Be hnsprepared an other medicine, which is rapidly winning its way to popular favor because of its intrinsic .merits. This is , HOOFLANU’S PODOPHYLLIN PILLS. a perfect substitute for mercury, .without any of mercury’s evil qualities. These wonderful Pills, which are intended to act upon tho Liver, are mainly composed of Podophyllin, or tho VITAL PIUNCI'PLE OF THE MANDRxVKB Now wo desire the reader to distinctly under stand that this extract or the Mandrake is many times more powerful than the Mandrake Itself. It is the medicinal virtues of tills health-giving plant in a perfectly pure and highly concentra ted form. Hence it Is that two 01 the Podophy I lln Tills constitute a full dose, while anywhere six to eight or a handful of other preparations T A HAIIPER jof the Mandrake are required- The Phodophyl- ACTS DIRECTLY ON THE LIVER. stlpuilatiaglts functions and causing it to make Its biliary secretions in regular and proper quantities. Tho injurious results which Invari ably follow tho use of mercury Is entirely avoided by their use. But It Is not upon the Liver only that their'powers aro exerted. Tho extract of Mandrake contained in them is skill fully combined with four other extracts, one of which nets upon the stomach, one upon the up per bowels, one upon tho lower bowels, and one prevents any griping effect, thus producing a pill that Intlonces tho digestive and alimentary sys tem, lc an equal ana harmonious manner, and Its action entirely free from nausea, vomiting or griping pains common to all other purgatives. Possessing these much desirable qualities, the Podophyllin becomes invaluable ns a FAMILY MEDICINE. No household should bo without them. Tljey are perfectly safe, require but two for an ordina ry dose, are prompt and efficient In notion, and when used in connection with Dr, Hoollnnd’s -German Bitters, or Tonic, may be regarded as corlulu specifics in all cilses of Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, or any of the disorders to ■which the sysiem Is ordinarily subjeo.

I was clerk Id their store. My name is Doray— -Timothy Doray ; my wife’s name is Betty, for abort—aud my three year old baby—a mighty flue boy, by the way—is nick named Toddler. Misfortune, which it Is not necessary to specify, bus forced me to work, at a salary of seventy-five dollars per month to support this family, whom 1 hold dearer than else < u earth. At the time of my loas, or rather in the latter part of April. T, with the other clerks, labored early aud late, night aud day, the season of trad© being unusually active, to which was added our prepara tions for removing, on the first day of May, to tbe> new store of the firm Busi ness kept me jumping all the time. I swallowed xny breakfast In a few mouth fuls, in ordor to be on time at the store. I lived so fair away, over two miles, that i couldn’t afo to dinner. Ofteutimos I went without my supper, reaching home at eleven o’clock at night. Consequently I only saw Toddler to speak to hiim on Sundays, aud my wife, pei hupa, an hour or two a day. No wonder she was lonesome and giv en to imaginings of the worst kind as to mv condition ot body, fancying me dead or mutilated, the victim of some dire casualty, whenever 1 failed to come home at the usua/ time. All in vain; it was a dog’s Hie; but what cun a fellow do when he’s us poor as an ecclesiastic mouse? One uigb t Letty asked abruptly, as I entered: . .... . ‘Seen Dr. Craven to-day, run? The doctor Is our landlord—an excel lent man in collecting his rents prompt ly, and without the abatement of a single penny.' * .> • _ , ‘No,’ wafl *my answer. ll.a not the first, of the mouth.’ . . ' '■ • 'But he’s been. here. Our rent is to be raised ten dollars u month front the first of May,’ amd she drew back as if the bet ter, to study, my face under the effect of the announcement- Then as my lips were silent, she burst out with. •We’ll stay, of course. We’ll Use and work for him. instead ,of ourselves and the baby.’ ... ‘I can’t get away from the store to hunt up a house.’ ‘Leave it to me. I'll get one nearer the store, cheaper rent and a newer building. It can be done. I’ll do it—if you’ll lot me.’ ‘All right. I prophecy tears for your trouble,’ In ;» warning way. ‘No more than if wo stay. You dou’t realize what we have to endure, with no oue but Toddy to amuse me.’ ‘Be more social with your neighbors,’ I suggested. ‘My neighbors !’ scornfully. ‘That’s lust like a nron I Do you know who are our neighbors? Of course not. A pros perous, wholesale washerwoman ou one side and a dilapidated old quack doctor and’his m.umitled wife ou the other; In front, a parade ground for geese. Visitors none—sava that Insurance sOlieitor, who seems to come < nly when you can spend an evening at home, and so spoils my happiness by his figures. I believe he watches for you. And his wife—what a dowdy I I shall die If I have to stay.’ ‘Do as you like; but the time Is short. I wish I could go.’ 'Hush! not a word. I'll be glad to do It, you good old man,’ skipping about like a little girl. ‘l’ll begin In the niorn -lUThe next evening I was lucky enough to reach home by 0 o’clock, and to get a kiss and a hug from Toddler, napping In bis mother’s arms. He bad been en joying life wUh widow Martin’s little girl, next dooir, and so his dissipation kept him awake longer than usual. 'I have see n one cottage that I thinly, will please you,’ began my wife. ‘lt's about a mile from your store, and we've been living two miles away, you know.’ ‘Horsi cars or ’bus to it?’ ‘That’s the trouble. There ore neither of these at present. You must walk.' CARLISLE. PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1811. •Can’t do It. •It will do you good. Walking is a healthful exercise'. Lives of great men all remind us that they were pedestrians.’ she urged. . ‘Can’t help It. I'm not a great man. Besides, I’ve corns ’ ‘Cut them!’ speaking with sharp deci sion. ‘What are .corns compaied with health and happiness?’ ‘And the shade -trees, and yard and neighborhood?’ were my next Interroga tories. . ‘Shade trees—one current bush! Yard large enough for a cord of wood, sawbuok and a man to saw; and the neighborhood quiet add moral, being near a small cem tery. I knew you would not like the place. I’ll search again to-morrow, ‘That’s right; don’t despair. Get the briy a yard that shall be’large.enough to tah:.hls;hlde— by_th9Ji.un,pfßourse^-.- ; ‘Tlmothyl how can you talk so about your darling !. Suppose you should lose Toddler?’ . , ‘We’ll riot suppose It. Try again, Let ty. Perhaps you’ll run Into an atom of Kden that will come within the limits of our Splnnerless treasury. We must leave here, as the doctor has rented it. So he 'told me to-day. Here’s the morning pa per. Let’s see what places are in want of a tenant.’ ' , . , ,' In half as hour she had a list of places to see the nextday. We must find some thing or live In the street, which would be unpleasant, though economical. It was settled the next night. I knew It by her smiles. A lovely cottage situ ated so oouveniently, with two poplars in.front, and a back yard large enough to hold our week’s washing on the line; half a mile walk, with busses, oars, and all of the modern improvements. .* Hobson’s choice, my dear, was my comment. ‘The beet we ban get for our money, I think,’ she replied. That settled it. The next day would be the fli at of May, according to calenders and landlor. s. My wife kindly volun teered to superintend the moving, as I should be busy all day at the store in transferring goods. ’ ' ‘Get the most honest am weakest look ing expressman- you can find, and then flee ! To move successfully, my dear, is an act more difficult than to win a great battle.’ • , ‘ln theory, Tim, for you, said Letty. ‘For you to-morrow, it will be practice, Letty.' A look of grim resolve came over her face, and I felt that we were already half moved. ,1 signed the lease, and then we went into the different rooms together, that I might say, or look good bye. ‘We have been happy here,’ whispered my wife* . 'We shall not leave the dormant'echo of an unkind word’—which was the truth. ; ‘1 am thankful'We have had.even this' poor shelter,’ I said, as I closed the door of the last room visited, never again to be opened to me. I bad gone some distance that evening, when it flashed upon my mind, incident to business at the .store and the many bouses to rent, about which we had been talking, the locatio of our new home had passed entirely out of my mind. ‘Put it dowri on paper,’ I said to my wife, after returning. T can’t trust my memory for a day or two.’ I put the slip in my pocket and turned away. ‘Don’t go, Tim,’ spoke Letty, with a sudden and unusual sadness In her voice. Her eyes were teal ful. 'lt Is bad luck to come back again.’ 'Pehawl An old woman's superstition; I'll see you to-morrow,.all cosily settled. Good bye! Good bye, Tod ‘Good by, papa!’ cried Tod, which cry I heard until I turned the corner, thank ing God for giving me such a good, pa tient, loving wife, and a boy that was as smart and strung as could be found in the city. 'Tisn’t everybody has such blessings, nor the half of them; more’s the pity for the good of the world ! That was bard work we did that night and day for Crutch & Armless. Not a minute's let up until 3 o’clock lu the morning, when wo had a hot supper and an hour’s rest. Then at it we went again for the day. I labored, with my thoughts, with my wife and h r share of trouble, and with wonderings as to how she was getting along, and performed my duties as me chanically as a steam engine. It was a very long day to me, and not one of the men , was more glad than I, when, early in the evening, Mr. Crutch came to the office door, and said they thanked us very much for the way wo had worked and what we had done, and that we might quit until the next day. He guessed matters would ruu smooth ly now. I was anxious to see my fatnlly, and hurried away. After rapid walking for a couple of blocks, it suddenly occur red to me that I was on my way to my old residence, and that the street and number had utterly passed from my memory, aud that ray wife had given me a memorandum. stopping under a gas light, I felt in my pocket where the paper should have been. It was not there. All the other pockets were searched, turned inside out; but the precious paper was not to be found. It didn’t matter how I lost It, it was gone. Then I tried my best to re call the location; but half a dozen num bers and streets came tuto ray mind all at once. I had no trail of the home of my wife and child. At nine o'clock at night who could tell mo where I lived. I was so worn out with work that this predicament brought the tears to my eyes for a minute. Ap prehensions culminated, and I shivered. What would Letty think of this ab sence! Where, O, where was she? •When it came into my confused brain she bad said sometblpg about Stewart avenue—the number I could not recall— I started on a run, for that street and. reachlngit, wandered to and fro, scanning the windows to see her faoej the houses' to note if any one of them answered to the description she had given. Vain labor. Blok at heart I retraced my steps aud went to police headquarters. ‘What is wauled?' said the police official. ‘An odd occurrence—l’ve lost my wife.' ‘Yes? Bless your soul, that’s not odd. Mien come here with that news every day. Do you know the road—what train she took?’he queried. ‘Pshaw! I don't mean that,' with,an angry feeling at his stupidity. ‘My wile moved on the Ist, and I have lost the ad dress she gave me. It's tunny, but deuced unpleasant,' I added, apologeti cally, as two or three men began to laugb. •Well, that Is odd,' the official, a cap tain, agreed; ‘but I cannot we can help you.’ ‘Nor I,Just at present. You can ad vise me, perhaps.’ ‘You don’t know the street, you say— Do you know the expressman ?' ‘Never saw nor heard of him, I answered. , ‘Wife got any friends here—brothers, sisters, aunts or uncles?’ •No Intimate friends or relatives.— We're comparatively strangers In the city,’ "Well, I don't know what to do. Per haps wo might find out something in tho course of three or four days,' meditatively rubbing his chin. ‘No sooner ?’ •Can’t say. Many thousand families move on the first of May. Perhaps some of our men may pick up the family or news of It; they wouldn’t know about It unless appealed to.’ ‘Thank you,’ I said, turning away In misery of heart. By the way,’ continued the captain, following mo to the door. ‘Does your wife read the papers ?’ ‘Sometimes.’ ‘Wouldn’t she be likely to , buy them under the olrou instances?’ ‘Perhaps.’ ‘Walt a bit.’ He stepped to a desk and wrote for three minutes. *Suppoa6 !you put this la oue of the dally papers s’ Information Wanted.—Of the resi dence of Mra. Timothy Doray. Call at once at the store of Crutch & Armless, 260 Water street.* •She*d know .what was wanted. No body els© would mind it, you know.’ ‘Excellent. Thank you again, sir. If anybody comes hero for me you’ll know where to send them.* After going to the office ol the prjncl pal dally paper, and losing the excite ment of having something to do to employ my thoughts, there came upon me as I walked the almost silent streets, a loneliness and , desolation that was appalling. , . What'a miserable, unhappy night that >vaal Near the whole time was passed inn chair by the window, at the hotel ‘•where I had stopped. I couldfi’t sleep.— "If-my"eye9'-‘Oloaea^in,^droWfito39, r J.,wa9: Immediately beset by terrible dreams about my wife and child. Awake, my thoughts were conjectures and apprehen sions about their safety. I pictured them sick, alone In a strange neighborhood, with no one to appeal to for assistance. I imagined robbers working at the doors, or ruffians making night hideous with their, blasphemy. No evil seemed im possible of success against those defense, less two. now I was away. As I drowsed now and then, I would be aroused by what seemed tbo plaintive, beseeching call of my wife as if she were iu the room. An alarm of lire was sounded, and I pictured to myself the burning of ray house. Such a night I hope I may never again endure, so tilled was every minute aud hour with tbo most horrible of fancies. When the gray lightof the early morn ing spread through the streets, and people began to move about, I tottered out of that -dismal hotel, aud went shivering and weary into the half night, half day, so that I might walk away from the thoughts that hud tormented my soul iu the darkness. Where was the hearthstone on which the coals were red for my coming? Where were the, loviug wife and child for whom I yearned, with au aflectiou never before tasted? Why hadn’t they come for,me? Sometimes I laughed aloud at my position; which would bo so ludicrous when We wore again united. As the sun rose, so rose my spirits, and I stepped off briskly, wandering hero aud there iu regions to* me heretofore unknown. The panorama of high life and low life at five o’clock iu the morning is unique but attractive. ■ Finally, I settled down in a restaurant for my breakfast, and unfolded my morning paper. There was my adver tisement. What an odd thing it was, to beware. How we*would laugh over it some day—perhaps to-day or to-morrow, wife and I. ‘Eh? What’s this?’ I cried out to myself as my eyes rested ou this para graph iu a prominent place. ‘Missing.— Mr. Timothy Doray has been missing from his home since the night of April 30, No reason is known for bis ctiysterious disappearance. Any Information as to his whereabouts will be thankfully received by his afflicted wife.’ Iu all my life I never knew of any thing quite so extraordinary—a husband and wife lost In a city, and each adver tising the other. X could hear my heart beat with joy as I realized that at least there was a clUe to my home. Not a mouthful of breakfast had been eaten. I was feasting on the joy of ray discoveries. I, contemplated for a few minutes in au epicurean way, the dejeuner of a discovery, then started for the office of that excellent morning paper, that valuable journal whose circulation was limited only by undiscovered aud unexplored lauds. That editor was an angol, seen through my eyes just then, and his printers were all of them cherubs of a mammoth de velopment. Glory I I’ll have a wife and baby within uu hour, sure. , I was walking briskly, my eyes fixed on the pavement, .my thoughts hours ahead anticipating, when suddenly some one caught my arm, roughly exclaiming: . ‘Here, you! Can't you stop? A lady has been running after you for half a block. You’re worse than a horse car to stop;’ aud then without waiting, he passed ahead. As I looked at blm with angry aston ishment a little hand grasped my arm : there was the rustle of a dress aud quickly drawn breaths. •Tim, what is the matter?’ said the figure, as she followed the question, right ou the street, with a kiss. Of course it was my wife. ; *What is the matter? 1 she asked again. ‘Why haven’t you come home? Where have you been? O, shame, to desert poor Toddler and . me!’ laughing hysteri cally and clutching my arm firmly. I felt like catching her up iu my arms, so great was my delight, hut a due regard for the public restrained that excess’ot emotion. As it was I looked at her with' hungry eyes, and with my heart bumping up -into ray throat, and my tongue tangled with a confusion of words I wanted to utter all at once. I presented a statue of glad surpiise, motionless as is In atoue. ‘Why don’t you speak, Tim, to your poor wife? Tell her what has kept you away so loug! Let us not stand still here with people staring so. 1 ‘l’m happy now, wife, to begin with. Put that down as a credit mark —as long as from here to the North Pole. I didn’t go home because I didn’t know where to go.’ ‘Didn’t you know where to go ?’ she echoed. ‘No I I lost the location out of my head, aud your memorandum of it out of my pocket. I have had to wait until yon found me—as you have, thank-you ! Why didn’t you go to the store?’ • ••* : ‘So I did, the old one.. No -one was thete, ,qot au animate -thing, ,to say where the new store was ; and you never informed me.’ ‘So I didn’t. I forgot it. Why didn’t you go to the police?’ ‘I forgot it—never entered my head. You see I’m not used to a missing hus band# O, I’ve been so miserable, and— Tim, there’s, a gentleman beckoning to you,’ It was Mr. Armless In his carriage.— ‘Seen the morning paper, Doray V lie asked, os I came up. ‘Yes, sir! This is my wife, Mr. Arm less. We’ve just found each other by accident.’ ‘l’m very glad to know this, and your self, madam,’ he said bowing. ‘I was just on my way to the newspaper office to give my testimony. I’m glad it’s turnedout so nicely.’ He bowed, touched his horses, then stopped them. •By the way, Doray,’ he began as wo came up. 'take a couple of days’ leave,— You are entitled to it. It’ll be all right at the store.’ and with that he was away without waiting to hear our thanks. Alter that we walked homeward, like lovers. Tho distance seemed very short. 1 looked at the streets aa we came before ourhouse.and made a mental calculation. ‘Letty, Letty,’ I cried in self-reproach, ‘this house is only five blocks from our now store I’ ‘lt has been a thousand miles away for two days,’ she replied softly. I looked into the yard of the mansion. Bless his dear little heart, there was Toddler sliding down the collar door, under the superintendence of a miss of ul.out six summers. •Hello Todd!’ I cried. •O, papa!’ he yelled, running towards mo, ‘lse glad you come, cos mamma won't cry any more,’ and we all wont Into tho house and shut the front door upon tho world.' • In Germany every child Is caught to slug, music being considered a part of elementary education* As a consequence the nation has become one of musicians, ranking second to u ne In talent and musical composition.
