disease called Dyspepsia. My whole sys

nervous debility; I could not digest my

I swallowed it; I became so costive in my

this immense suffering, my mind seemed
entirely to give way. 71 bad dreadful hor

body hated me, mind I limited everybody; I
could not bear my husband nor my own
children ; everything appeared to he hor

do anything; I lost all my love of family
and home; I would ramble and wander
from place to place, but could not be con

and that there was no heaven for me, and
wits often teniPted to commit suicide, so
near was my whole nervous system de

complaint, Dyspepsia, that my friends
thought best to have me placed in Dr.
Kirk:bride's Hospital, West Philadelphia;
I remained there nine weeks, and thought
I wits a little better, but in a few days my
dreadful complaint was raging as bad as
ever. Heiyin•..of the wonderful cures per

WISHATIT: I have been a constant
sufferer with Dyspepsia for the last eigh
teen years, during which time I cannot say
that I have ever enjoyed a perfectly well
day. There were times when the symp
toms were more aggravated than at others,
and then it seemed it would be a great re
lief to die. I had at all times an unpleas
ant feeling in my head, but latterly my
sufferings so much increased that I be
came almost untitfor business of any kind;
my mind wag continually filled with
gloomy thoughts and forebodings, and if
I attempted to change their current by
reading, at once a sensation of icy coldness
in connection with a dead weight, as it
were, rested upon my brain ; also, a feel
ing of sickness would occur at the stomach.
and great pain to my eyes, accompanied
with which was the continual fear of losing
my reason. I also experienced great las
situde, debility and nervousness, which
made it ditllcu'it to walk by day or sleep
at night. I became averse to society, and
disposed only to seclusion, and having
tried the skill of a number of eminent
physicians of various schools, finally come
to the conclusion that, for this disease at
my present age (45 years) there was no
Cure in existence. But, through theinter
ference of Divine Providence, to whom I
devoutly offer my thanks, I at last found
a sovereign remedy in your Dyspepsia
Pills and Tar Cordial, which seem to have
effectually removed almost the last trace of
my long list of ailments and bad feeling,
and in their place health, pleasure, and
contentment are my every-day compa

Dn. Wnar.AnT—Sir:—.lt in with much
pleasure that I am now able to inform you
that, by the use of your great American
Dyspeptic PUN, I have been entirely cured
of that most distressing complaint, Dys
pepsia. I had been grevidusly afflicted for
the last twenty-eight years, and ten
years of that time have not been free from
its pain ono week at a time. I have had
it in its worst form and have dragged on a
most miserable existence—in pain day and
night. Every kind of food tilled me with
wind and pain, it mattered not how light,
or how small the quantity. A continued
belching was sure to follow. I had no ap
petite for any kinds of meats whatever,
and my distress was so groat for several
months before I heard of your Pills, that I
frequently wished for death. 1 had taken
everything that I had heard of for Dyspep
sia, without receiving any benefit; but on
your Pills being recommended to me by
one who had been cured by them, I con
cluded to give them a trial, although I had
no faith in theta. To my astonishment, I
found myself getting better before I had
taken one-fourth of a box, and, after taking
half a box, I am a well man, and can eat
anything I wish, and enjoy a hearty meal
three times u day, without inconvenience
from nnythingl eat or drink. If you think
proper, you are at liberty to make this
public and refer to me. I will cheerfully
give all desirable information, to any one

SECURING A CONTRIBUTOR;
r TCOR'S ENCACPEMENTS
I=
The proprietor of one of New York's
principal story papers sat in his office
One morning, several years since, rapt in
deep study. lii Boston, that city of no
tions and remarkable people, had appear
ed a literary star of great magnitude, of
such dazzling brilliancy that it set the
whole profession, writers and publishers,
agog. Like a meteor she had appeared
and thrown the scintillations of her gen
ius over the whelk country, through the
medium of the weekly press.
Letter after letter poured in upon her,
until the task of answering them became
indeed irksome,interforing much with her
literary labors.
Am . ong the first of those who address
ed her was our friend Williams, of New
York. The answer came back 2rompt
ly : • v .,
DosTos, Mass.,
"Silt: I respectfully decline your
proposition.
"Respeetfidls decline."' Those words nev
er dampened the ambition of a struggling
author more than they did the publisher.
He wrote again doubled the offer, and
again she "respectfully declined." This
time he resolved to give the matter up.
Several weeks passed away, during which
time articles appeared regularly in the
Boston contemporary, materially, in
juring the reputation and circulation of
his own sheet.
Becoming desperate, he consulted with
his associate editor, a young man of fine
talents, in whom he placed great confi
dence. They looked over their contem
poraries, in hopes of discovering some
unappreciated genius, who might be em
ployed and brought forward as a rival;
but in the host or volunteers who con
tribute to the American press they found
none equal to the task, theirs was genius
in the bud, the crude stone, which need
ed practice, which alone will wear off
the sharp corners and polish the compo
sition, not but they were willing. too,and
did give encouragement to young writers;
but this was a special call—a practiced
hand was wanted.
"I tell you what I'll do," said the as
sociate editor, throwing aside the ex
changes. "If you think it worth the
while I will take the next train fur Bos
ton, have an interview with the lady,and
see if with the plentiful use of money
she will still continuo so inexorable."
The proprietor pondered for a moment,
and then said : •
"Well, I'll do it," and then consulting
his watch, continued: "Two hours yet
before the train leaves—get ready, go
ahead, ask her lowest terms, telegraph
me. I'll secure her as a contributor if I
sink one-half my year's profits."
The young man hastened to his board
ing-place, packed his carpet-bag, and
took the train for Boston.
Arriving in that city, be, of course,
"put up" at the best hotel, consulted the
directory, and .made inquiries of the
clerk, until he learned where the object
of his visit resided.
The next afternoon he visited her at
her residence. Pound her young and
beautiful—free from the blue-stocking
malady—a quiet, unobtrusive lady, of a
I well-to-do old, Puritanical family- Ile
was much entertained; and they were
soon chatting over matters literary. Be
fore bidding her good afternoon, - he
touched upon the object of his visit—
spoke of her former declination of his
employer's propositions and wished her
to think over the matter—take into con
sideration ; lie would call again and learn
her decision.
She would "give it attention ; there
was to be a literary re-union at her
house on that evening—would be very
happy to see him—eight o'clock the
hour of assembly." Of course he accept
ed the invitation; forsooth she was an
attraction to a gallant young fellow like
himself, and farther, such gatherings
were suited to his tastes.
A pleasant evening was spent in draw
ing rooms, where, gathered around this
"bright particular star," where many of
dimmer lustre and different styles, form
ing a repast for their minds. Romance,
poetry, music, the drama, and the arts,
claimed their attention. The new books
were dissected by these literary epicures
with remarks that could not have failed
to benefit their authors if they had lucki
ly chanced to be present. The cloud of
time closed out the stars for the night,
and they all disappeared to their couch
es.
For some reason the yo ' i ng editor did
not rest over well; easily attributed ~,

patient. "Not a word ye from that fol
low !" he exclaimed, in vesiation. "Con
found it !"
The next day our young friend called
on the fair authoress. "Really, she had
not yet decided. If his time was not too
valuable, might it be asking too much if
he gave her another day before deciding
upon the matter 7—one of vital interest
to her, which needed deliberation.
The editor by this time thought it nec
essary to send a dispatch to his employer,
which was done in the following words :
"She kcsicates !"
"Drowning men catch at straws." The
droprietur was elated. Those two words
carried relief to his mind. The balance
had tipped in his favor, as a feather will
sometimes turn a scale.
The next morning the editor saunter
ed on to that breathing hole of Boston
called the "Common," and one of the
first persons he met was the author
ess. She was taking her usual morning
walk. While they were walking she
said that she had decided that she would
write for his employer's paper at a
column— naming an enormous sum,
which, in consideration of the tender feel
ings of America's literary volunteers, we
withhold.
The figure was such a large one that
our hero's heart nearly went out of his
body by the way of his mouth ; but the
danger was much lessened, as he kept
that orifice tightly closed for several mo
ments, being taken completely by su
prise. At last recovering, he said :
"I shall hold you to.your bargain un
til I communicate with my employer."
He escorted her home,and then sought
his hotel and shut himself up in his room,
not communicating with his employer.—
He was evidently troubled—all owing to
change of air, etc.
That evening he again visited the au
thoress, made her a proposition, which
she accepted, when he immediately tele
graphed to New York as follows :
"I have made apt engagement !"
The proprietor was elated, and not
known to speak a cross word to any of
his employees for a week thereafter—not
even the provoking individual, ".the dev
il." In the next number she was an
nounced as s engaged for the columns of
his paper, and an article from her pen
was promised in an early issue. Her
name, coupled with his paper, stared ev
ery one in the face in every sheet they
pidked up. He was jubilant. His pa
per was in the ascendant. Boston pub
lishers felt glum—their columns were
dimmed, for their greatest light had for
saken them.
Two days after the receipt of the joy
ful news, the editor introduced to his
employer a young lady—the new contrib
utor—as his wife.
" I told you," laughed our friend,
"that I had made an engagement, and I
bare boo—both are legal and binding."
The young editor was much perplexed
when she requir3d so large a sum
for her services. He was in love with
the lady—it was a real case of lore at
first sight. In despertion he resolved to
"pop the question." If she accepted him
he would accept her, in the behalf of
his employer. She accepted, he accept
ed, and both engagements were legalized.
One point we have failed to touch upon.
He resolved to name a smaller figure to
his employer than that which she was to
have, and make up the balance to her
out of his own salary. But when he
reached home, heard the congratulations
of his employer, saw the benefits which
were to be and had been derived by her
engagement, he named the full sum, and
the proprietoralvas well satisfied.
Time passed on. The paper grew in
circulation and influence, the editor be
coming interested financially in its pub
lication. His wife's articles still secure
the attention of the reading public.—
Her latest and most valuable:contribution
to the world is a beautiful baby boy, in
'•the image of its father."
The Value of Accuracy
It is the result of every days experience
that steady attention to matters, of detail
lies at the root of the human progress;
and that diligence, above all, is the moth-
er of good luck. Accuracy is also of
much importance, and an invariable mark
of good training in a man. Accuracy in
observation, accuracy in speech, accuracy
in the transaction of affairs. What is
done in business must be well done; for
it is better to accomplish perfectly a
small amount of work, than to half do
ten times as much. A wise man used
to say, " Stay a little then w may make
an ;end the sooner." Too little attention,
however is paid to this highly important
42104.v e ttra, arae...,folotaant , elluetk
TX emetic - elm o served o 'us
" it is astonishing how few people I have
met in the coarse of my experience who
can define a fact accurately." Yet in
business affair; it is the manner in which
even small matters are transacted that
often decides men for or against you.
With virtue, capacity, and. good conduct
in other respects, the person who is hab
itually inaccurate cannot be trusted; his
work has to be gone oval' again; and he
thus causes endless annoyance, vexation
and trouble.
All about Dimples
Dimples are the perpetual smiles of
Nature—the very cunningest device
and lurking-place of Love. When earth
is dimpled by dells and valleys, it always
seems to laugh when the ocean is dimpled
by the breeze, it speaks with joy beneath
the sunshine of heaven. We cannot look
for frowns on a dimpled face; frowns
and dimples will not associate togatlier.
How soft, how roguish, how beautiful
are the dimples in the elbows and shoul
ders, the pretty hands and feet of the
rosy babe. Mothers dote upon those
darling dimples, and delight to kiss them.
But perfect dimples, enchanting at
least to the eyes of an enthusiastic young
man, are those which come peeping out
of the cheeks around mouth of the "sweet
seventeen," when sweet seventeen essays
some arch provoking sally, peeping out
and flying away the moment after, com
ing and going with the most bewitching
coquetry.
OccurwrroN.—what a glorious thing
it is for the human heart. Those who
work hard seldom yield. themselves en
tirely up to fancied or real so rrow. When
grief sits down, folds its hands, and mourn
fully feeds upoa its own tears, weaving
the dim shadows that a little extra exer
tion might sweep away into a funeral pall„
the strong spirit is shorn ofits might
and sorrow becomes oar master. When
troubles flow upon you, dark and heavy,
toil not with the waves—wrestle not with
the torrent—rather seek by occupation
to divert the dark waters that threaten
to overwhehn you into a thousand chan
nels which the duties of life always pre
sent. Before you dream of it, those wa
ters will fertilize the present, and give
birth to flowers that may brighten the
future—flowers that will become pure
and holy in the sunshine which pene
trates to the path of duty. G rief, after
all, is but a selfish feeling; and most sel
fish is he who yields himself to the in
dulgence of any passion that brings no
joy to his fellow men.

Some of the Benefits of the War
Among the results of the war in chang
ing the course of the domestic in ,ustry,
few things are more gratifying to us as
citizens of Pennsylvania than the exten
sive introduction of the manufacture of
tar from the pitch pine, as a substitute
of the article formerly obtained from
North Carolina. Before the war broke
out, the latter State had almost a monop
oly of this tar trade, and it seemed essen
tial to the prosperity of our naval and
mercantile marine. The price of tar rose
heavily in consequence of the rebellion
of North Carolina, and the scarcity of
the article induced capitalists to engage
in the manufacture in this State, so that
as we learn from the Harrisburg Tele
graph, the counties of Cambria, Somerset
and the vicinity have gone into it largely.
A good quality of tar is produced which
answers nearly all the purpose of the
North Carolina article.
The cultivation of tobacco in Pennsyl
vania has also received a great impetus
in consequence of the troubles in Maryland
and Virginia. This crop was getting
much into vogue before the war broke
out, but it has now become a staple, and
Pennsylvania bids fair to become a great
tobacco-growing State. These are among
the compensations of the war. If we
were inclined to be selfish, we might
justly urge that our State, so far from
having lost in this struggle, has been
immensely benefited. Our manufactur
ing interests have received such aid in
the way of aditional capital, and have at
tained such an extraordinary growth, as
to leave their futu e no longer doubtful.
Our _coal and iron have never before been
in such request as they have been all
through this war, and at most lucrative
prices. Our railroads have never before
done so much business. The bonded
debt of the republic has served as a basis
of capital for an immense development
in every branch of industry, commerce,
transportation and trade; and Pennsylva
nia, except in this loss of her brave so.

Human Life.
3f. Bobbin, an eminent French chemist,
in a paper recently presented to the
French Academy, gives a prescription
for lengthening human life, the efficacy
of which he argues very learnedly. He
says that "the mineral matter which con
stitutes an ingredient in most of our food,
after the combustion, is left in our sys
tems to incrust and stiffen the different
parts of the body, and to render imper
fect many of the vital processes. He
compares human beings to furnaces
which arc always kindled ; life exists on
ly in combustion, but the combustion
which occurs in our bodies, like that
which takes place in our chimneys,leaves
a detritus or residue which is fatal to
life. To remove this he would adminis
ter lactic acid with ordinary food. This
acid is known to possess the power of re-1
moving or dissolving the incrustations
which form on the arteries, cartilages
and valve of the heart. As buttermilk
abounds in this acid, and is, moreover,
an agreeable kind of food, its habitual
use, it is urged, will free the system from
these causes, which inevitably cause
death between the seventy-fifth and one
hundred year.? Doubtless Methuseleh
lived largely upon buttermilk. At least
we do not remember that we have seen
it doubted. •
Couloir:3 FACT IN PTITSIOLOOY. It
is a remarkable fact that persons loosing
themselves in the forest, or snow storm,
manifests invariably a tendancy to turn
round gradually to the left, to the extent
extent even of eventually cloying in a
circle. The explanation of this is found
probably, in the fact that the limbs and
muscles of the right side arc more devel
oped than those of the left side- 'Shoe
makers say that, as a general thing, the
right foot is somewhat larger than the
left, and that the right boot wears out
first. Under the excitement felt whCi
one is lost, and in the absence of any
guiding line, the superior energy of the
right limbs throw the pedestrian insensi
bly round on the left.
"Beast Butler." as the rebels call him,
41:scovered that the rebels compelled our
negro soldiers its prisoners in their hands
to work ten hours per day on their forti
fications. Whereupon the "beast" took
an equal number of the rebels in our
hands and set them to work on Dutch
Gap, a canal we are digging in the vicin
ity of Richmond. A number of the
chivalry wore anxious to take the oath of
allegiance to avoid working but General
Butler concluded it was an eleventh hour
conversion, and could not comply. Pic
ayune Butler says "tit for tat."

A Small Calcalation.
The following incident actually occur
ed during the past week.
Scene—A Corner Grocery. •
Customer—Mw much are those on,
EMS
llealer—Vortccn cents a pound. On
ions very dear now. Pay seven dollars
and a half a barrel in the market. And
43haine, too ; dare is enough of every,
thing in dis country.
Customer—lndeedl seven dollars a
barrel ? and how many bushels in a bar
rel?
* Dealer—Three
Customer—Only three. Let me see;
a bushel of onions will weigh 72 pounds,
which at 14 cents a, pound is $lO 08 per
bushel, or $2O 25 per barrel. Deduct
the cost, $7 50, it leaves you $22 74
profit. lt would seem grocers could af
ford to sell cheaper? (pausing for a re
ply.)
Dealer (apologetically)-4 talks in
Sherman now to dis odder new custom
er.
Exit first eu3tomer, without any on
ions, hoping most earnestly that some
thing might be done by the people to
check such extortion.—N. Y. Sun.
HOME-BREWED ALE.---The art Or
brewing is very easy to be understood,
for it is exactly similar to the process of
making tea. Put a handful of malt into
a tea-pot; then fill it with water—the
first time rather under boiling heat: Af
ter it has stood some time, pour of the
liquor just as you would tea, and fill up
the pot again with boiling water. In a
similar manner pour that off, and so go
on filling up and pouring off till the malt
in the pot is tast.dess, which will be the
case nhen all its virtue is extracted.—
The liquor or malt tea must then be boil
ed with a few hops in it, and when it be
comes cool enough—that is, about blood
heat—add a little yeast to ferment it, and
the thing is done. This is the whole art.
Urge - quantity requires 'same m -o
proceeding as it would to make a tea
breakfast for a regiment of soldiers. A.
peck of malt and four ounces of hops
will produce ten quarts of ale, and of a..
better quality than can usually be par-,
chased.
THE DAILY AND PERIODICAL Puss

be much surprised by the following sta
tistics of the intellectual activity of Eng
lish people :—The edition of the Lon
don journals amount to 248,000 copies
daily. The total sale of copies of weekly
journals amounts to 2,203,200, of which
number 1,149,000 copies are issued by
newspapers partly political, partly litters-: -
ry. 510,400 copies thereof are purely .
political ; 252,500 aro issued as sporting '
sheets. 47,000 copies aro devoted to ag
riculture; 43,050 copies are devoted to
architectural and polytechnic arts. 40,-
750 copies are issued by periodicals de-'
voted to general literature. 15,300 cop
ies aro issued by periodicals exclusively
devoted to medicine, chemistry, pharma
cy, &c. 12,000 copies to law. 8,500 to
music, and 183,700 to theology. • The
statistics of magazine literature, inclusive '
of "Reviews," both weekly, monthly ands'
quarterlies, show still . More astounding
result, they baring quadrupled within
five years.
REMARKAIILI: DErrr.--Tho fol
lowing is related in a letter from a gen
tleman at Toulouse, dated April 20, 1760,
to his friend at Galway, Ireland:—"The
most remarkable occurrence here is the
extraordinary case of a criminal under
bentenee of death, and who was to have
been executed co the second instant.—
Tile day before he fell into a profound
sleep, and has lived since without any
nourishment whatever. Several means
have been used to awake him, even blis
ters, but to no purpose; he breathes easy
and freely, and his limbs, especially from
the middle upwards, sae perfectly plia
ble. About four days ago he woke, and
continued so for an hour, or somewhat
' better; he walked a few steps, and the
physician ordered him some light nour
ishment ; but before itcould bo got ready
he relapsed. and continues in the same'
state of insensibility. The physicians
call it a cataleptic ailment, incurred
through fear and horror of the execution
he was to undergo, which, however, is
only deferred till he recovers the tense
of feeling."
Mrs. Partington,boaring that ayoung
man had set up for himself, said, 'Poor
fellow Has he no friend that will set
up for him part of the time ?" And she „
sighed to be young again..
