The G2-eat Bentedies for all Diseases of the LIVER, STOMACH, OR DIGESTIVE ORGANS. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS Is'composed of the pure Juices, (or, as they are medicinally termed, Extracts,) of Roots, Herbs, TT - and Barks, mak ing a preparation, ed, and entirely free from alcoholic atinzalzture of any kind. lIOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC Is a combination of all the ingredients of tho Bitters, with the purest quality of Santa CIILZ Rum, Orange, 6:e., 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 HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS. Those who have no objection to he com bination of the Bitters, as stated, will use lIOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC They are both equally 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 very apt to have its functions deranged 0 The Liver, sympa thizing, al it does with the Stomach, then becomes affec Led, the result of which is that the patient snffers from sev eral or more of the following diseases: Constipa Hon , Flatulence,ln ward Piles, Ful ness of Blood to the Bead, 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, Pos- Di re, Thinness of Vision, Dots or Webs beinre th e Sight, Dull Pain in the Head, Deficiency of Perspiration, Yellowness of the Skin and Eyes, Pain in tho Side, Back, Chest, Limbs, etc., Sudden Flushes of Heat, Burning in the Flesh, Constant Imaginings of Evil, and Creat 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 in int quiries, possesses true merit, is skill fj fully compounded, is free from injurious 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 AND IIOOPLAND'S GERMAN TONIC PREPABED BY B. C. M. JACKSON, PHILADELPHIA, 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 pu,blic. These remedies will effectually cure Liver Complaint, Jaund ice, Dyspepsia, Chronic Nervous F Debility, Chronic Diarrhoea, or Dis ease oftheKidneys, and all diseases arising from a Dis ordered Liver, Stomach, or Intestines. DE B I'L I T - Y , llesniting firottranreau'se whatever;-Pros tration of the System, induced by Severe Labor, Hardships, Ex posure, Fevers, &c. 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 complexion becomes sound and healthy, the yellow tinge is eradicated 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 timl 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. NOTICE. It is a well-established fact t hat fully one half of the female _ portion of our pop ulation are seldom in the enjoyment of 4 good health ; or, to pression, "Never feel well." They are languid, devoid of all 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 wilt cure every case of MARASMUS, without fail. Thousands of certificates have accumulated in the hands of the proprietors, but space will allow of the publication of but It few. Those, it will he observed, are men of note, and of such standing that they must be be lieved. Testimonials. 110 N. GEORGE W.

Terrible Bedfellow. I looked at my neighbor with considera ble curiosity. Ills face indicated a man not over thirty years—a period at which men aro still young—and his hair was us white as the fresh fallen snow. One seldom sees, oven on the head of the oldest men, hair of - immaculate whiteness. Do sat by my side in a car of the Great Western Railway, in Canada, and was looking out of the window. Suddenly turning his head ho caught me in the act of staring at him—a rudenec,m of which I was ashamed. I was about to say words ofapology, when he quietly remark ed : :` Don't mention it, sir ; am used to it." The frankness of this observation pleased me, and in a very little while we were con. versing on terms of familiar acquaintance ship, and before long he told me the whole story. " I was a soldier in the army of India," said, he " and as it is often the case with soldiers, I was a little too raid of liquor. One day I got drunk; and was shut up in the black hole for it. I slumped down upon the floor of the dungeon, and was just drop ping off to sleep, when I felt a cold slimy shape crawling across my right hand as it lay stretched out above my head on the floor I knew at once that it was is • snake. Of course my first impulse was to draw away my hand; but knowing that if I did so the Poisonous reptile would probably strike its - rday'atilr , with my Imkrt beating in my breast like a trap hammer. "Of course my fright sobered me in stantly. I realized all my peril in its full est extent. Oh, how I lamented the hour that I first touched liquor. In every glass of liquor there is a serpent; but it does not come to everybody in the shape itdid to me. With a slow undulating motion the reptile dragged its carcass over my face, and crept down over my breast and thrust its head in side my jacket. As I felt the hideous scrap ing of the slimy body over my cheek it was only by a most tremendous effort that I suc ceeded in restraining myself from yelling loudly with mingled terror and disgust. At last I felt the tail waggling down towards my chin; but imagine what I felt at my heart, if you can imagine it, as I realized that the dreadful creature had wiled itself under my jacket as I lay and had seem ingly gone to sleep, for it was still as death. Evidently it had no idea that I was a human creature, for if it had it would not have acted in that way. All snakes aro coward ly, and they will not approach a man unless to strike him in self defence. •„!' Three hours I lay with that dreadful weight in my bosom, and each minute was like an hour to me—a year. I seemed to have lived a lifetime in that brief space. Every incident in my life passed through my memory in rapid succession, as they say is the case with a drowning man. I thought of my tnotheraway in old England. my happy borne by the Avon; my Mary, the girl I loved, and never expected to see them more. For no matter how long I bore this I felt that it must end in death at lust. I lay as rigid as a corpse, scarcely daring even to breathe, and all the while my breast was growing colder and colder, where the snake was lying against it, with nothing but a thin cotton shirt between my skin and it. I knew that if I stirred it would strike, but I could not bear this terrible suspense much longer. At last I hoard footsteps approaching. Then there was u rattling at the lock. It was the guard. He opened the door. The snake—a cobra di mmella I now saw—dart ed up its huge hooded head with the hideous rings about its eyes as if about to strike. I shut my eye 4 and murmured a prayer. Then it glided away with swift motion and disappeared in the darkneis. I staggered lo my feet and fell swooning in the arms of the guard. For weeks after I was very sick, and when I was able to be about I Muni my hair as white as you now see It. I have not touched a drop of• liquor since." Humors or the Election. An honest hearted Democrat from Wind sor, came to town early last evening, and steered at once for Democratic headquar ters to get the news. Just as he got to the foot of the stairway leading to the rooms, ho was accosted by one of the faithful, who said : -"The State has gone for Grant.," "By golly to thunder; gosh darn it all, my stars, you don't tell me so !" "Yes, and that ain't the worat of it--New Haven has gone back on us I" "No! thunder and lightning, you don't tell me so I" • "Yes, and that ain't the worst of it; Penn sylvania is all one way for Grant." "Hang my garters, blazes and gimblets, you don't tell me so!" '"Yes, and that ain't the worst of it; Ohio cleans us out all through." "Ohio does ? be horn swoggled, gin gerbread and scissors to grind, you don't tell me so I" "Yes, and that ain't the worst of it ; everything Is against us; we are completely flexed out everywhere I" "Is that.so?

But the most perfect knowledge of these rules will not alone enable him to act in this manner his own passions are apt to drive him, sometimes to seduce him, to violate all the rules which he himself, during his cool and sober hours, approves of. The most perfect knowledge, unless sustained by the most perfect self control, will not, in all cases, enable a man to do his duty. These passions may be classed under two beads ; first, into those, which to restrain even for a moment, requires a considerable exertion of self-command . ; secondly, into those who can, IN ith the greatest ease, be controlled for a short time, but which, by their almost incessant solicitation, are apt to mislead into great deviations. Fear, anger, and some other passions, constitute the first class. Excessive fear and anger are often difficult to control, even for a moment. The love of ease and pleasure may easily be restrained for a short time, yet by their constant importunities, often lead to many weaknesses. The former class of passions may be said to drive, the latter to seduce us from duty. The com mand of these sets of passions, exclusive of the benefits resulting front the control of them, has a beauty of its own, and de serves, for its own sake, some degree of ad miration and esteem. In one case, the strength and greatness of the exertion ex cites our estimation ; in the other, the uni formity and steadiness of the exertion. The man who, in torture at the approach of death, preserves his tranquility unalter ed, and suffers no word or gester to escape him that does not accord with the feelings of the most indifferent spectator, of necessi ty cotnmands a very high degree of estima tion. The heroes of ancient and modern history who are remembered with the most popular affection, tire, any of them, those who have met their end on the scaffold for the sake of liberty and justice, find who conducted themselves while there with the most perfect self-control and dignity. lied the enemies of Socrates suffered him to die quietly in his bed, his death would pm oba bly never have acquired the splendor in which it has been looked upon ever since. But this magnanimity does not only cast a brightness over the character of virtuous and innocent men—it even procures some favorable regard in the case of criminals. When a highwayman is brought to the scaffold, and there behaves with firmness, though no ono doubts the justice of his pun ishment, yet regrets often rise, that the ono possessed of such great and noble powers should suffer such a disgraceful death. War is a great school for acquiring this species of magnanimity. When the num has conquered the fear of death, be has lit tle else to fear. In war men become famil iar with delft:), and therefore lose in a great degree, that superstitious fear of it which is peculiai to the inexperienced. The dread of death is thus greatly diminished, and therefore men learn to expose themselves to it with less reluctance, are 'less anxious to get out of it, and are not so likely to lose their presence of mind Nvhil, in it. We are at times interested in great warlike ex ploits, although conducted in direct opposi tion to justice; and some degree of esteem is excited in us for the men of worthless character who conduct them. The com mand of anger frequently appears no less noble than that of fear. The oration of Cicero against Catiline affords a striking example of the control of anger, and the proper expression of just indignation. But this just indignation is only anger restrain ed, and properly moderated to agree with the feelings of the impartial spectators. The passion which goes beyond this, and vents itself openly, is offensive, and claims our sympathy only for its object. Courrar.v. Every child is born with a capacity for fear, which is useful quality when kept in due sujeution, but which may, by evil hab its, by wilful encouragement, or by some sudden shock or an injury to the nerves, be exaggerated into habitual• cowardice. The nervous system may likewise be brought into such a condition by the intem perate use-of stitnulents as subject the mind to fear upon trivial occasions, for pot valor will degenerate into rank cowardice if kept up too bong. It is true, too, that training has much to do with man's character for bravery. If a boy is cowed and kicked into a state of abject fear during his childhood, he bill wecome such a habitual coward that it will be very difficult to break the habit; while on the contrary a boy naturally timid may ho taught to defend his rights bravely whenever attacked. The possibility of learning a timid person to be brave, and a man braver, is one of the most important advantages we have over the brutes. If you force a boy into a situation he dreads, you increase his timidity; if you persuade hint into braving it, you increase his cour age. Fear of making difficult leaps ; stand ing on dizzy heights may be overcome by practice. If you go to vault a leaping bar, and shrink from throwing your legs boldly over, giving way to the first little fear, your fear will grow stronger on the next occa sion ; and in learning to swim the canto will be found true. Where reason teaches you there is no danger, or that the dangers that present themselves may be overcome, listen to reason, and cast MI-fear.

NEW STEAM ExoEsE.—A steam engine has been invented by Benjamin Franklin,. of Westmoreland county, which does away with the cylinder principal altogether, and also with piston, crank, steam-chest, oil cans, &c. The principle of action on which it depends is that ot centrifugal force, whence its name the centrifugal steam en gine. It is declared by competent practical engineers, superior In every way to all other engines, and therefore portends a complete revolution in the adaptation of steam to all the purposes of life, the mechanism being much more simple and economical, while its economy of work is a marked consideration.

A niong other things that re ceived consul e at his hands were certain modes of transacting business by the mer chants of Philadelphia. He handled the knaves in such a manner as to arouse their wrath, and calling a meeting among them selves they wailed upon the sturdy printer, and demanded to know what he meant.

We have known some cattle that seemed to have al!nosti natural propensity that way, but in seklOm instances. We have seen calves that would jump with almost the celerity of adeer; but in most cases low and insecure ifences led them to it. As they grew up, they learned to throw fences with their horns, but such enclosures were generelly poor and inStiff2- ; eient.

It is the best use they can be put to, unless of great value for breed ing or labor, and if so retained, secure con finement is the best remedy. Wetlislike to see a creature going about in the pasture with a board hung over its face, or with a yoke on, or hobbled. They are thus apt to be set upon by other animals, as they are taken unawares without the means of de fence or escape, and are thus frequently in jured. Besides, their example is bad. "Evil communications corrupt good manners" among cattle, as iTiong men. Better to have them out of the way at once, as their ex amples may be contagious. Cows sucking themselves is another bad trick. We dislike to see a cow going about the pastures with a frame work about her neck. Better serve her the same as the breathy one, and rid the herd of her pre sence. We never had a creature of the kind, and it' we bad, we would never take the pains to make the complicated machinery necessary for its protection, unless she were of very choice blood, whose preservation was u twill any amount of pains to keep under proper control.—Stock Journal. Feeding Whole (thin to Cattle. It is an eNpetu e system of management to feed whole slain to any kind of animals. All kinds of cereal grains arc provided with a tough hull or skin, which the digestive powers of most animals will not dissolve ; consequently if the skin is not broken be fore the grain enters the stomach, the ker nels will usually pass off With the drop pings, without affording, the animal that swallowed the grain any more nourishment than fragments of wood of equal size. During the non tit of August last the writer procured it quantity of horse manure for top dressing strawberry plants, and in a few days after the mulch was spread round the plants, the unbroken kernels of vegetated,..so that the entire surface - of the ground appeared as green as a lawn. This fact showed conclusively that much of the grain had never afforded the animals that swallowed it any nourishment at all.
