Every ease of that kind can be readily cured by Huotland's German Bitters. Diseases resulting from disorders of the digestive organs are speedily removed. We have no hesitation in stating that, if these Bitters were freely 'Seed among our soldiers, hundreds of lives might be tweed that otherwise will be lost. - We call particular attention to the folloWing re markable and well authenticated cure of one of the nation's heroes, whose . life, to use his own language, "has been saved by the Bitters :" FfiILADELMna, August 23rd,.1802. limn. *Toile's k 'Evans .—W ell , gentlemen, your Roof 'Macre German Bitters has saved my life..

This was followed by great qlebility, heighten ed by an attack of dysentery. I was then 'removed from the White Rouse, and sent to this city on board the Steamer "State of Maine." from which I landed on the 28th of June. Since that time I have been a bout as low as any one could be and still retain a spark of vitality.

It was a cold winter night! I sat by the fire of a German inn ; not far from me was Carl Von Arc heim.— We were both members of the Ger. man University. The fire blazed fit fully, wreathing itself in glowing spi rals around the huge logs that were slowly being consumed. I was about to go off in a doze, when, suddenly, Carl recalled me •to my senses by asking,— • 'Do you know that the Baron Von •and 'his lovely daughter are in tocvn:?', I replied in the affirmative. As I gazed on his face as it slowly , settled to its dark, weird .aspect, Was 'ready to give credente to 'those stories bruited about among the stu dents, of some strange, supernatural gifts with which Carl - Von Arnbeim was endowed. fbad often met him; and,'from the first acquaintance, he -Mehow attached himself tome. )eing asked. why, by some one, ied that his and my own deal .ere united; that I would be yry to him some time in the persons to Whom he alluded, uestion, to me were known to 'us.

I do not know Ir the thought of my being at to Rena ever troubled him.— med confident, and feared no as I watched him that night, a strange look of fierce deter ,n on his face.

'Rallying my strength I told them to leave me . as I wished to be alone. The physician gave them a sign, and all went out. I lay for some moments longer, trying to reflect upon myisituation. At length I rose up And paced the room. A desire for vengeance had seized upon me. A`thousand schemes sug gested themselves to me, by which I could obtain satisfaction; but none of them seetnedlto content my mor bid imaginaticrq. I looked about the 'room. In one fiprner I spied a large, iron-bound chestovhich Carl Was ai -1 ways .particulgrjn ever to open in 'cu . presence. A.- thimght struck tne.— Why might not-this chest contain se -crets which it would be ofimportance for - me 'to 'know l But how togetin to it? "I hesitatna a moment. 'Oarl must have carro the key which unlocked it in 'his pocket. I felt. for the liey ; sure enough, There was a .large , orre there.-i I took it out and 'tried 'the lock *yielded, and I open ed the chest. ' 1 There was no hing in it, except some tihetnicals, everal old, wrinkled, and yellow pa ehments, and, in• a small box by itself, an amber ring.— I had a presentiinent that, with these means, I was Ix) work My deliver ance. I examined the manuscripts ; large rolls they Were, filled with dia grams and words 'in the Latin lan• gunge. Being familiar with the lat. terl was at no 'loss to understand their meaning. What! Had be days of tragic, returned? Her were directions for calling the pewee of. darkness to the aid of humanity; the hidden myster ies of nature revlaled and examined and dissertations of a metaphysical character on thek mind of man, and its unknown affinities with the world of spirits. All WMapparently writ ten long ago ; itonfght, be centuries. I sat all day studying the mysteri• ous writings. N,ight came; and, af ter obtaining a 1 little nourishment for the body, that was mine for the time being, I lit lamp, and, locking the door, still eo tinned to pore upon these wonderful manuscripts, that were revealing to•• me, with every line read, strange secrets, which would make my power over mankind irre sistible. An that was demanded for the possessor of this secret knowledge was a peculiar organisation. With the body or Car Won• Arm heirrii - , - of course, had obtained his tempera• inent and facility to use these new powers. I determined to make my self master of them; and, then, let the villain look to himself. Ile had forfeited all his power by taking upon him my organization, so great had lfeen his love for the beautiful Lady Rena.- • Little did he think that I would act with my inheritance as I intend ed. My heart beat high with hope. Already I seemed• to grasp revenge. With that amber ring, and the knowl• edge of its wonderful properties made known to me' by these old man uscripts, I would bring him clown, down to the very lowest pit of mis.. ery. Over the way was the mansion of the baron, the father of Rena. It was lit up with . a thousand brilliant lights. I beard the sound of "music and dancing. As I looked from my window I saw passing by the oppo• site window and inside the gorgeous drawing-room, Rena and Carl, arm in arm. I did not*stagger that'time at the sight of them. smiled with secret exultation. Going to my •ta:. hie I unrolled a manuscript and 'The odic fluid is generated by wearing the Amber Ring on the third finger of the left hand; and, by 'the odic fluid, matter' and mind are uni ted. When the '<idyls is withdrawn from the body the mind is free'and can be commanded.' ' Then followed' farther directions ending with r — • 'Thus the Amber Ring, to him who knoweth its .proper use, is, to a cer tain nxtent, all powerful,' ****. *.*** 4*** **** **** Days passed. By the aid of the ring I kept myself informed of the movements .0 Carl. - He wavto be married in, tbree days,, ,which would be the day, before Christmas. :.The. ceremony was . to. take place in , the evening. . My, time Was short, " yet- long e— nough for - what 1 had' to, do. .Day and night I studied and worked. My experiments were, with -a, few exeep. tions;successful.' By the day before, Christmas I was ~prepat ed. I had perfeeted tnYsect in my art. .1 had no More need „now of the:. menu— scriptsno more need of the, Amber Ring. 1,. therefOrc, for reasons of my: own, burnt the whole,. the menu-, script's first, au4 then threw the ..A.m.- ber Ring into the blazing fire. ,A pale light started ,up :„ the whole room shook and gleamed as if of phospho-. reseent materiel. Then all was !si lent. I Went to the window' again and looked •tiVer'..the way.' gotild I have been mistaken ? It. seemed to' me that I saw, in the uncertain, light of the . moon, Carl Von Arnheim raising his hands to Heaven, with' a look betokening the . greatest fear. It was but for .-a moment and thOn he wasgone. ' - My vengeance should bea retribution: One hour. before the time appointed' for' the marriage- Lwas at the inn, of which - I spoke at, the beginning of this .story.; began ;the incantation: which 1 I kneir would earl,, 'whether lielvished, cir, MA:01: ,gO, ;presences;: ho , caine. There was a ; wild look in his. , eyes. tut& he - seemed overcome with • terror.. 'Made him sit where 'lie had sat weeks be fore: Then, usein,g the same meartieilo Means he had used then, reduced him to a state di ` insensibility. 1, then, taking from my pocket, a vial, containing a viru lent poison, which I knew would take deadly effect in the , spade of half an hour, swallowed the contents. Then command ing the spirit of Carl to resume its origin-, al body I re entered my own. Then springing up, I shouted triumphantly, for my vengeance was complete ; the soul of Carl Von Arnheim had gone into its for mer body whence it was soon to be for ever by the deadly poison I had entranc ed into his system. As I Sprang from my seat file atirratina logs, sorttehow seemed to be changed. I was still in the same room of the inn, and there before me sat Carl fast asleep. The little keeper of the inn was bustling about as usual, and before me seemed ly *Mg the - veritable box I had seen burning a month before. I lhook Cart "What do you want 1" said he, look ing up. What . do I want'!" said I, half refiec• tivetyl "I believe I've been asleep, and had a very queer sort of dream ; all about magic and mesmerism. This isn't Christmas eve, irit ",Christmas eve I" he echoed. "Why, Christmas won't be here for a month." "Let,us go," said FIVE TIMES A *WIDOW., The Boston Atlaa translates the following,story from a late French PaPer. There has recently arrived in Paris a young English lady, already the widow of her fifth husband. This remarkable chance, this un common series of widowhoods is the more extraordinary that, the lady in question has T 1 ot t 'reached, her tWenty fth year. The history of her sever al marriages is so strange as a whole and in its particulars, that we should hardly dare to relate them,. The saloons of the English, and al most the only ones that remain open in this season of general desertion, dispute for the honor of this young widow, and from them we.derive the following narrative of her conjugal adventures. Mrs. was not quite sixteen years of age when she contracted her first marriage at Gretna Green. This matrimonial locality is suffi cient evidence that it was a purely sentimental union. Two rivals dis puted for her young affections; one was favored by her family, the other by herself; the latter of course was the successful one. In order to set aside all obstacles our two young people had recourse to an elopement, and put in requisition the famous blacksmith who unites enamored English couples at a mo ment's warning, and without asking the consent of the relatives. The nuptial benediction bad just been pronounced when the unsuccess ful rival appeared- He had followed the fugitives with alt the speed his gold could obtain from the postillions; but the fugitives ' bad a night's start of ,him, and the rival was only able to arrive just soon enough to - bo two hours too late. "You had a useless chase, my dear sir,' said the bridegroom, happy. and prod of his success. 'For we are al ready married!. may be so,' said the other; 'hut 1 have at least come in time to be re venged,' . In accepting this challenge the bridegroom requested that the meet ing be postponed to the next ()ay; but his jealous rival would not consent to this gratification. They must repair at once to the spot with the first sec , onds they could meet. The duel was fought with pistols, and the, bride groom, struck by a ball fn the fore head, fell, never to rise again: So Mrs. became a widow two hours after the celebration of her first marriage. This adventure made such a talk and led to so many _scandalous rumors, that a second marriage could only allay them, Besides the young widow bad known so little of married life that she very naturally desired to continue the chapter from the in , teresting point where it was unfortu nately, broken off. This time, in order to efface as Much as possible the consequences of her first fault4Oor which she had been so severely,-punished, Mrs.— submit ted-to the wish,of her 'parents in the choice of her second husband. They made for her a reasonable choice, selecting—a man of mature years and offering every possible guarantee. Ile was an old retired merchant, possessing a large fortune honorably adkuired. • This was prob ably not the happiness dreamed of by a soul so poetical and so enamored ; but Mrs. -- adapted herself to her new Situation, and bad not yet en countered- those holloW' deceptions and bitter deceits of life before her htisband found it necessary to attend to. some business which required his presenee on the continent. Lie left alone, and in crossing the channel the steamboat was overtaken by a tern pest and dashed ,upon the rocks of the coast. This shipwreck made Mrs. a widow for the second time. In her misfortune she naturally looked about. for consolation, which is anything but difficult to procure for young widow who united to her own personal attractions a very con sidei-able fortune. Among those at tentive to her she favored a young 'and showy yOutb / , flit] of grace and 'Wit,. who seemed So her, to unite all that would; beati'doesele'ter . for the least ofTherrhaelitind. , Soon' as" the apeesiarrdelaye were over, the iTeign_ of theltliirdf tha'abaiitlieroiriOrerided en- - , the moat favorable auspices... •.' " Nothing •itt` the 61);;;;13-eneement Nri: l- '''RO:LE NO. 753 seemed likely to mar the happiness cif the union ; but soon,even while de. voted to his wife, the husband bpan to display vibes beneath his graceful exterior. Gaming was his ruling pas. sion,.and he gave himself up to it with so much ardor, that in a short time he had dissipated the rest of his own patrimony and the whole for tune of hiS wife. Then, no longer a ble to endure his shame and remorse he shot himself Three successive calamities would have deprived Mrs. —of courage to make a new conjugal triel,:bad not her 'pecuniary matters made it necessary to marry again. Complete ' ly ruined by her third husband, and With no knberitance 'to look forward to, marriage' was 'the only resource by which she could escape the embar rassments and misery of want,— There was no time Lo be lost; she in'trst make'the moat of her advanta ges, turn to good account her youth and her attractions, and seenre best chance that offered. Our widow therefore besTirred herself; as if to recompense for her trials, sent her .a husband of the first class, a young, rich and handsome baronet, quite famous on the turf. He had no passion for cards, but on the other band, he gave himself up with unre strained ardor to-horse-racing, and in his exercise he made use of his purse and his own person, staking large sums in bets, and risking himself with his horses for the prize in steeple chases. Fortune bad nnlt %has far affected his finances; his profits and losses were nearly balanced ; but he was less successful as a rider that he was with his bets. His, own person was less fortunate than his purse. When he rode himself, he Was more often thrown off his horse than OA to a light of his own accord. So far from being discouraged, these falls rather stimulated to endeavor; and this no ble verseverance had already costbirit several teeth, as well as, an arm and some ribs broken. Ills family and friends hoped that marriage would make him a little more prudent ; and for a short time he abstained from appearing on the turf, in 'order to devote himself en• tirely to his wife; but as soon as he got used to this peaceful felicity his former passion returned, and he thought he could unite the pleasures of hymen and the race-course. Sev eral of the best riders in England had engaged in a contest at the New market races; he joined them, mount ed his"fleetest horse, darted forward in the race, and fell ; this time so dis astrously, that he was left dead on the spot. The unfortunate sportsman had ap pointed his wife sole heiress of all his property, but his will contained cer• tame •errors of form which made it of doubtful effect. One of:the relations of the deceased disputedthe will; the cause was brought before the tribu nals, and being ably managed against hem was threatening Mrs. with new ruin, when her adversary him self proposed to stop the suit and u• nite their interests by marriage; thiS was the most prudent course; the lovely widow adopted it, and chang ing her name for the .fifth time, be , came the wife of a rich land proprie• tor, who passed for the most intrepid fox hunter in Northumberland. The marriage had not been concluded sit. months before the fifth husband, while hunting, was imprudent enough to'leap a ditch with a loaded musket in bis baud, which was accidentally discharged, when he received the con, tents in his breast. His death was instantaneous. Such are the events which consti tute the conjugal career of Mrs. and it, is in consequence of these ca tastrophes tbiat . she is a widew for the fifth time in the very ,morning of her life. But after thus' - having gained, or rather lost, in the lottery of wid owhood, she persists in pursuing a chance which has so far been so ob stinate ly against .her. The persever , ance of this widow may be explain ed on various grounds. In the first place, having in each Instance been maiiried so shalt a time she has had knowledge only of the bright days of marraige—the honey-moon, and has seen only the bright side : She has never Seen the reVerse side of the medal; she has never experienced the disappointments of destroyed illu sions ; her husbands have never caused her disappointment except by their death ; even the gamester himself was so amiable and kind, that in spite of all his faults he was bitterly regret ted. And then as people have be- , come confused by the many different names which Mrs. has borne, they have named her Mrs,Bluebeard, in cruel reference to her conjugal mis fortunes. It is, very natural that she should wish to rid herself of this surname by triumphing over her fate I But her five widowhoods have somewhat cooled the ardor of her English, ad miters. Even the boldest - experience a sort' of superstitious terror: they fear they may meet, the fate of their predecessors. Mrs. has realized how much courage is necessary for any to venture to marry her, arid she has thereforelcome to Paris. Tbis is certainly complimentary to the Par isians, and she will not be disap pointed.

Oliver Cromwell, among tie many remarkable traits of character, seems to have possessed a full share of that rather uncommon article, "common sense." An old maxim says that if you would be certain to have a Wink done right, do it yourself; and Croth. well seems to have been a man very little given to leaving things to chance. Thus a curious extract froitt the Earl of Orrery's State Letter's, shows how Cromwell him - self, dit guised as a sittiplatrodper, intercepted one of the messengers of the king; and possessed himself of a very portant letter. Most commanders would have employed some trusty officer, of a low-grade, for such an enterprise - bill 'Cromwell did 'not want any - failute in the 'matter, and therefore undertook the job in his own person, attended by one of chief men. The whole 'account is so curious and in'teresting, that we quote it as. follows: While Cromwell was meditatinic how he could best "come in" wits Charles, one of his spies—of the kin bedchamber—informed him that his final doom was -decreed; and that what it was might be found tint by intercepting a letter sent from the king to the queen, wherein he declar ed what he would do. The letter, he said, was sewed up in the skirt of 4 saddle, and the bearer of it would, come with the saddle upon his head that night to the Blue Boar Inn, in Holborn; for there he was to take horse and go to Dover with it. This messenger knew nothing of the Latte 3. in the saddle; but some persons at Dover did. Cromwell and Ireton., disguited as troopers, taking with them a trusty fellow, went to the inn in Holborn; and this man watched at the wicket, while the troopers con= tinued drinking beer tilt about tell o'clock, when the sentinel at the gate gave notice that the man with the saddle was come in. Up they got-, and, as the man was leading out his horse saddled, they,. with drawn swords, declared they were to search all who went in and out there; but, as he looked like an honest man they would only search his saddle. Upon this they ungirt the saddle and car ried it into the stall where they had been drinking, and left the horeetnith with the sentinel; then, ripping up one of the skirts of the saddle, they found the letter, and gava - back the saddle to the man, who, not knowing what be had done, went away to Do ver. They then opened the letter; in which the king told the queen that be thought he should close with the Scots. Cromwell and Ireton then took horse and went to Windsor and, finding they were not likely to have any tolerable terms from the king, they immediately from that time forward resolved:his ruin.. ANCIENT ESTATES. When estates are not entailed i England, such is .the influence of wt. ample and custom, that they are of. ten handed down from fathet to son for long genekatious. Corroboratitrel of tbk, we find the following facts in a recent number of au English peri- - - odical The interesting and - often quoted statement made some time since by* Lord Palmerston, respecting the an. interrdpted descent for nearly eight centuries, froin father. to Son, of a small estate in his own neighborhood in thenew forest, relates, as is well known ; to the family of Pork* thill Hine Wittier, who picked up the body of William Rufus, and carried it in his humble cart to Winchester to re= ceive the last sad rites. But we can place upon record a case of still long er descent of a small property among persons, in no way allied to rank and fortune,and who have never risen a bove the condition, of yeomen; while; we believe, they have never fallen be low it. At Ambrose's Barn, on the borders of the parish of Thorpe, near Chertsey, still resides a farmer of the name of Wopshot, whose ancestors have lived, without a break, upon the same spot, ever since the reign of Al fred ,be Great, by whom the farra was granted to Reginald Wopshot,- , •--L There are several families among our untitled gentry—the coUnti aristoc racy, who can trace their hathee and, possessions in a direct male descent back to the Saxon times; but betow that rank we are not aware of, a more striking instance of permanence a mong change than the past history . of the Wopshots. • There is something very pleasant in this lone coetinuanger,ofan estate in the same ,familp—but we are afraid that It is, often the .teattif; of consider able injustice to •the yonngef sons and daughters. The claims of the' latter to a fair and equal portion of father's property, must of course - be' sacrificed to the dignity of the estate and of the family name. IS -it not paying, as Dr. Franklin would say, rather "too dear for the whistler= Probably the younger children gensr. ally would decide that it Was. L.
