HOQFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC Is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bitters, with the purest quality of Santa Cruz; Bum, Orange, Ltc., making one of the most pleasant and agreeable remedies ever offered to the public. Those preferring a medicine free from Al coholic admixture, will use -HOOPLAND'S GERMAN .BITTERS. Those - who have no objection to the com bination of the Bitters, as stated, will use HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC. They are both Frynally good, and contain the same medicinal virtues, the choice be tween the two being a mere matter of taste, the Tonic being the most palatable. The Stomach, from a variety of causes, such as Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility, etc., is ye rv. apt to have its functionsderangedo The Liver, sympa thising as it does with the Stomach, then becomes affected, the result of which is that the patient suffers from sev eral or more of the following diseases : Constipation, Fla tulence,ln ward Piles, Ful ness of Blood to the Head, Acidity of the Stomach, Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food, Fulness or Weight in the Stomach, Sour Eructations, Sinking, or Fluttering at the Pit of the Stomach, Swimming of the Head, Hurried. or Diffi cult Breathing, Fluttering at the Heart, Choking or Suffocat ing Sensations when in a Lying Fos ture, Dimness of Vision, Dots or Webs before the Sight, Dull' Pain in the Head, Deficiency of Perspiration, Yellowness of the Skin and Eyes, Pain in the Side, Back, Chest, Limbs, etc., Sudden Flushes of Heat, Burning in the Flesh, . Constant Imaginings of Evil, and Great. Depression of Spirits. The sufferer from these diseases should exercise the greatest caution in the selection of a remedy for his case, purchasing only that which he is as sured from his in vestigations and oinquiries, possesses true merit, is skill fully compounded, is free from injuri oils ingredients, and has established for itself a reputation for the cure of these diseases. In this con nection we would submit those well-known remedies— HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS, HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC. PREPARED BY DR. C. M. JACKSON, PHILADELPIIIA, PA. Twenty-two years since they were first introduced into this country from Germany, during which time they have undoubtedly - performed more cures, and benefited suffer ing humanity to a greater.extent, than any other remedies known to the public. These remedies will effectually cure Liver Complaint, Jauud. ice, Dyspepsia, Chronic Nervous F Debility, Chronic, Diarrhcea, or Dis ease oftheKidneys,, and all diseases ariiing from it„Dis orilerrd.,,l,";.:cr,_,Ston2".•,h,,or DEBILITY, Resulting from any Cause ; Pros tration of the System, induced by .Severe Labor, Hardships, Ex posure, Fevers, 11.00 ?..M 6.25 " There is no medicine extant equal to these remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor is imparted to the whole, system, the appe tite is strengthened, food is enjoyed, the stomach digests promptly, the blood is puri fied, the complexic,n becomes sound and healthy, the yellow tinge is eradicatCd from the eyes, a bloom Is given to the cheeks, and the weak and nervous invalid becomes a strong and healthy being. PERSONS ADVANCED IN LIFE, And feeling the hand of time weighing heav ily upon them, with all its attendant ills, will Lind in the use of this BITTERS, or the TONIC, an • elixir that will instil new life into their veins, restore in a measure the energy and ardor of more youthful days, build up their shrunken forms, and, give health and happiness to their remaining years. It is a well-established fact that fully one half of the female portion of our pop ulation are seldom T in the enjoymentof good health ; or, to 4 use their own ex pression, "Never feel well." They' are languid, devoid of nil energy, extreme ly nervous, and have no appetite. .- To this class of persons the BITTERS, or the TONIC, is especially recommended. WEAK AND DELICATE CHILDREN Are made strong by the use of either of these remedies. they will curo every case of MARASAILS, without fail. Thousands of certificates have accumulated in the bands of the proprietors, but space will allow of the publication of but a few. Those, it will be observed, are men of note, and of such standing that they must be be lieved. Testimonials. HON. GEORGE W.

BY GEORGE BROWN Among - those who lingered around a Mexican wagon train, that was about to start on a long and varied journey over the wild, beautiful plains to the recent civiliza tion beyond, was a boy about fourteen years old, possessed of a handsome face radiant with intellect and .health; he was rather tall for his ag sail slender; and was carry 4 icAsA-that!•:ii-tied - e di am 3"6 2 meat known - among school boys as "a shinny." This young boy was listening eagerly to Os narrations of an old leather clad man with one eye and long grey hair, who was giving an account of remarkable adventures and hair-breadth escapes, that formed the greater part of his thirty years experience in the far West, to a group of his younger and less experienced compan ions, some of whom were reclining in alai worth grace on the g,ently9urling grass, others hanging in picturesque attitntle on the necks of favorite rattles, or exposing only their stalworth calves and moccasins out of the back end of a high-topped Mexi can wagon. The radiant face of the youthful listener became more radiant still during the re lation of it particularly thrilling adventure, and when the old grizzled narrator reached the climax of the story, when the brandish ed tomahawk was about to descend upon his weather-hardened skull—but did not, when the glittering knife was on the point of entering his crusty heart—but did not, the eyes of th'e boy dilated through absorb ing interest, and ho involuntarily followed with his "shinny" the motions which the old narrator went through with his long rifle. It was a beautiful day In May, the auu had just enough power to make things appear hazy and indistinct, so that the vast plains stretching like a sea towards the still farther West, scented dint and vision ary. The tales of the old trapper, the jocund laughter of the teamsters, the picturesque Mexican wagons with their high tops-and long line of oxen, each had its charm for the boy, and each gentle breeze that came rippling from the west lvas laden with imaginary war-whoops, roars of the 'buf faloes, and other wild sounds belonging to that dim land beyond the horizon. Our young boy, whom wo will now intro duce as Frank Morton, had formed a wild, fanciful idea of running away from home, and going along with this wagon-train. He had heard mentioned the need of a boy to assist the herdsman in taking care of the oxen when they were turned out to graze r and although , : he had never had anything to do with oxen, he thought that by assuming a rough dress and a corres pondingly rough air, he might obtain that most desirable position. When Frank had decided on taking this step he went home as fast us possible, exchanged his fine snit for the worst cue he could find, made ups small. bundle of a few necessary things; ho wrote a note to his parents telling them what ho was about to do, saying that ho only wanted to see a little of the western wilds, and that he intended to be home in a short time ; he begged them not to 'be un easy on his account, and again declared his intention of coining back soon. Having put this note where he thought it would not be found until he had got far enough from home to prevent his being brought back, Frank secretly left the house; and hurried away to the wagon train. After hanging around for, a short time he dis covered that the old trapper, that had been relating the remarknble . anecdotes, was the wagon-master of the train. Seizing an opportunity when the old man was alone; Frank swaggered up to him, and asked in as rough a voice as ho could master for the vacant pOsition.. Old Tom looked sharply for a short time at Frank, and then relieving himself of about a pint of tobacco juice, he said, " Well, young un, hey ye ever tit inJunes, kin ye tell when the varmints is about by the way the critters carry on r' Frank's bold, swaggering air instantly deserted him, and he answered in the meekest , possible voice, that he did not, but that be thought ho could learn. Old Tom regarded .Frank attentively for some time, and then with a quiet smile playing over his weather-beaten features, he said, " Well, young 'um - jist as leave hey ye as any one else, pervided ye attend to yer bizness." This Frank incoherently promised to do, and followingg - old Tom he. was introduced to the herdsman, a tall, spare man, with a fur skull cap. The herdsman told him that his duties were to assist him in keeping the oxen together when they were turned out to graze, to see that none of them strayed away, and to keep a sharp lookout for Indiana ; and, that during the interval between the grazing times of the cattle, be would have nothing in particular to do. About noon the train began to move, making a very peculiar scene ; the clUmsy roll of the ponderous wagons, the occasion al bellow of the oxen, mingled with the will " hoe, ho-hoe" of the teamsters, had a very stirring effect on the blood of young Frank. The train went about ten miles that afternoon, and encamped on a gentle rise about, one-half mile from a small stream, to which Nat., the herdsman, told Frank they were to drive the oxen. Frank's experience in his new vocation began then and there, and, although he lashed himself more than the oxen, with the long whip that was given hlin, yet he performed his duty of keeping together the oxen about as well as any one else could have done it, and to the entire -satisfaction of the herder. While sitting on the bank of the little stream watching the oxen, Frank beheld on the opposite side a pretty, little animal about the size of a cat, of a mingled white and black color, It was really a beautiful creature to gaze upon, Frank thought, and he was about to cross the stream to form a closer acquaintance with the animal, when a slight breeze arose blowing from the animal to Frank, and ladened not with imaginary sounds, but with strong, olfac tory proof of reality. Frank had heard of the skunk,—be paused—he turned back, and thereby escaped becoming the " butt" of the whole party, as ho inevitably would have done had he carried out his first In tention of crossing-the stream, and caress ing the pretty creature. About dusk Net., who was on the other side of the herd, culled to Frank that it was time to drive the: cattle back, which they accordingly did. The - next day and several following ones passed without anything of special interest occurring except the meeting with several bands of friendly Indians, which was quite novel to Frank. Although he admired their fine, stalworth forms, he could not but think that mentally they were about As low specimens of humanity as be had yet met with in his short life, and be secretly hoped that the hostile Indians were more noble looking. At the close of a beautiful day after they had been one week on the way, Frank, who as usual was helping Nat. to drive home the oxen, saw, about a half mile off, a party of horsemen coming at a great speed towards them. Frank called to Nat., and pointed to the horsemen. Nat. looked, and instantly shouted " injuns," and beck oning Frank to follow, he started at full speed towards camp. Frank followed and being very fleet on foot he - would have reached camp along with Nat, hid he not in some way, gol into t . yeyiryraidst. of 'herd;iMpede..l his tirigie;4.-the;t. more and more Confused, until the aband- owed the idea of running for camp, and crouching he tried to hide among the oxen. How his little heart did heat as he crouch ed close to the side of a great bullock that was iiffietly chewing the end, unconscious of danger. His hiding place (lid him no good, for the Indians dashed into the midst of the herd, and he was very soon discover ed. An old Indian with a hideously painted face. sprung, from his pony with a yell, and seizing Frank by his long light hair he was about to bury his tomahawk in his young skull, when he checked him- Ralf and gazing sharply at Frank for a short time, he turned to his ptiny, and getting a long strap of raw-hide, he bound Frank firmly, hand and foot. A short consulta tion was held by the Indians, and then one of them started MT in the direction of the camp, but returned soon shaking his head, and pointing to the sky, which was now studded with 'innumerable stars. Front this Indian's actions, Frank drew the con clusion that he had been sent towards the camp to ascertain the number of men there were to oppose them, were they to attack the cutup, and that he had found the ruin- her of men to be greater than they had supposed. Suddenly one of the Indians pointed to wards the camp ; there seemed to be a stir as though the men were preparing to make a dash to rescue young Frank. The Indians quickly sprimg to their ponies, and Frank's captor seizing hint in one arm leaped nimbly upon his pony's back, and they were off like the wind, defying pur suit from Frank's friends, who were mounted at best on green mules. The little captive - tried hard not to think, and remained perfectly quiet; the party dashed on far from Frank's camp -home and far into the night. They had a cold, weary night's ride, and about sunrise next morning, Frank heard voices and the bark of dogs—descending a gentle slope they came in full view of an Indian camp, the camp of his captors. After the curiosity of all the home-Indians had been satisfied in regard to the young captive, some dried meat was given to Frank, and after be had eaten a little he was led to the lodge of the chief when his clothes were taken off him and be was stained all over with walnut juice, and fitted out with moccasins and blanket like any young Indian. Frank was then led to a lodge that stood apart from the rest, and thrust in all alone. During the cold, long ride of the previous night Frank had thought a great deal about his own camp-fire, and of the snug little nest under a huge pile of robes, aside of long Nat., but now his vivid imagination gave way to keen intellect which wag already planning a mode of escape. Just before dusk, Frank saw through a hole in the lodge, a fine black pony stand ing by the lodge that was nearest to his. Tho idea of eluding the guard and moun ting the pony fiashed across his mind. Just then the guard came in with supper, - . and went back as usual after water. The supper was brought on a flat, sharp edged stone, and Frank determined to strike the guard with this stone, and mounting the pony, flee for dear life. Grasping the stone by that part which he could most easily hold, he stationed himself near the entrance to wait for the guard. The guard came to the entrance and began to untie the fasten ings. Frank disliked to do an injury to any one, but self-preservation was upper most in his mind, and Just as the guard stepped in; he sprang forward and dealt him a blow on the head with all the force( he could muster. The guard fell forward without a groan. Frank rushed out, Jump ed on the pony and was off like the wind. He had not gone far before he was dis covered, but his escape had been so sudden and unexpected, that by the time the pur suing party started he had a full half mile start. - On they dashed for hours in the nioon- Ight, the pursued and the pursuers. Frank's pony was the fleetest of the lot, ho s:2,oo•Per Year, in A.dv:ance; $2,50 if not Paid in Advance. was gradually lengthening' the. distance between his pursuers and himself, when he suddenly saw a Abort distance ahead one of those, perpendicular cracks or fissures in the earth;that are so coalman on the more western plains. - Vila break was full twenty feet wide, and seemed such a formidable obstacle that poor Frank in voluntarily- checked his pony, when 'a yell of triumph burst from his pursuers, which urged him on. Nearing the "edge of the break his pony faltered, when Frank, seized the knife he had secured from -the Indian at the time he dealt the blow, and sank it into the pony's flank. With a 1 terrific half-snort, - the pony 'bounded forward, and landed safely on the I oilier side. On he dashed and when about i a quarter of a mile from the break, Frank ventured a look over his shoulder at his pursuers. They bad reached the break, and Were - riding rapidly up and down to ftnd a eso.s9ing place; but 'none was to be found, for the fissure extended for miles in either direction. Knowing that-their ponies were far inferior to Frank's, and that they could not make that wild leap., the Indians gave a yell of mingled rage and disappointment, and slowly turned homewards. Frank saw all this, but Redid not slacken his speed, and it was not until ho was miles farther on his way that he allowed his pony to walk. He kept on at a slow rate during the long night, and about sunrise the next morning, he had the indescribable joy of striking the Santa Fe wagon-travel, on which there were fresh tracks and drop pings, which showed that a team had lately passed. Dismounting, Frank dressed as well as possible the cut in the poney's flank, and then re-monnting, he daqbed swittlY after his friends. On the evening of Frank's capture, as soon as his friends in camp became aware of his situation, they at once determined to rescue him But just when they were about to make the dash, the Indians, as before mentioned, started off at a rate that defied pursuit. The usually jovial group that gathered around the evening camp-tire, was that evening Moody and downcast. "Young un's" merry laugh and eager Taco were that evening far away, but his numerous merits wore warmly discussed by these rough, warm-hearted men. The men know that they could do Frank no good by remaining in camp, so the next day they slowly . resumed their march. That evening passed as had the previous one, all hands sad and disconsolate for the loss of young Frank. A. little while after sunrise the next morn ing, one of the party called the attention of the rest to an object that was approaching them from the rear. As it came nearer, this object proved to be an Indian boy, riding wildly towards them. The doubts of the party were at once dis pelled, when the wild figure dashed into their midst, flung himself into the arms of old Tont,"and said; "How do yoti . do,TOrn?", , by G—!" . they. tilt ek dhl.t,9lp,At;4.o**o' 4..htiol.MlNTieri-irriiinlie Varnagreetings i and queStions that saluted him.

The next day one of the men dresqed the eat in the pony's flank, and it/ a a few days it became entirely healed. Nothing of particular interest occurred during the rest of the journey out, and when the goods were all delivered, and the oxen's heads turned eastward, Frank first thought of home. The journey home was void of especial interest, and they arrived at L— shout dark, on a raw, October day. Frank found a stable for his pony, and then hurried on foot to his father's house. Entering the little front yard, ho saw a light in the sit ting room ; ho stole gently to the window and looked in His father, mother, and little brothers and sisters were sitting around the old fire side; his mother looked sad, and the lines in his father's strong, merchant's face, were deeper than they had been before Frank ran away. Bursting into tears, Final: rushed into the house, and flung himself into the arms of his mother, who also, after recognizing her son, wept with joy. Frank then greet ed his father, who looked fetidly at him fur some time, and said, " Where have you been, my boy?" Frank related his adventures, and was freely forgiven.
