IMPORTANT TO ALL INVALIDS. IRON IN•THE BLOOD• IT is well known to' the medicel profession that IRON is the Vital Principle or i.ife P.lement of the blood. This is derived chiefly from the food we eat ; but If the food is not properly digested, or if, from any cause whatever, the necessary quantity of iron Is not taken into the circulation, or berotnew reduced, the whole system suffers. The bad blood will irritate the heart, will clog op the hags. will stupefy-the brain, will obstruct the liver, and w ill send its disease-pro duchy; elements to ail parts of the syetem, nod every one will suffer in whatever organs may be predisposed to disease. The great value of IRON AS A MEDICINE is well known and acknowledged by all medical men. The difficulty hae been to obtain such a preparation of it as will enter the circulation and assimilate at once with the blood. This point, says Dr. Hayes, Massachn setts State Chemist.'has been attained in the Peruvian Syrup, by combination In a way before unknown.

The el der of the two had already reached the strand, and • was preparing to make n leap, the design of which was not to be mistaken ; but at that in stant the younger seized him by the arm, exclaiming : "Sir, I believe you want to drown yourself !" "You. have guessed it. What is that to you ?" This was the answer spoken in the most angry tone. "Nothing, I know. I would simply request you to wait a couple of min utes, when, if you like, we will make the great journey together. Arm in arm is the best way of dying." - With these words the younger ex tended his hand to the elder, whose hand was not withheld. The former continued, in a tone of seeming en thusiasm—. "So be it ! Arm in arm ! Truly did not dream that a human heart beat with mine in this last hour. 1 will.not seek -to know Who you are— an honest man or a viilian. Come, let us begin the journey together 1" The elder held the young man back, and fixing the dim, half extin guished eyes searchingly upon the countenance of his companion, ex claimed— "Hold I You seem to me too young to end your life by suicide. A man of your years has still a brilliant, al luring fortune in his grasp—" Brilliant I" answered the young man, scornfully. '•What have I to hope for in the world full of wicked ness, falsehood, treachery and unhap piness ? Come, quick r i "You are still young. You must have had very sorrowful experiences to make life thus insupportable to you." "I despise mankind." "Without exception ?" "Without exception."

"Oh 1 1 am, an old, sickly man, una ble to make a livelihood ; a man who cannot, will not longer see his only child, his daughter, blighting her youth, and laboring day and night to support him. No, I would be an unfeeling father, I would be barbar owl-' if I lived on thus I" "flow, sir, have you a daughter who does this for you ?" asked the young man, surprised. "And with what endurance, with what love, does she sacrifice herself for me. She works for me, she goes hungry for mei 'and has only the tenderest words of love—a sweet smile for me always 1" "And you want to commit suicide? Are you mad ?" "Shall I murder my daughter ? The life which she is now leading is her certain death," ans.vered the old man, in despair. ''Good sir, come go. With me to the nearest inn that is still open, and let us drink a bottle of wine together You will relate to me your history, and if you like I will let you know mine. So much, however, will I say to you beforehand. Chase all thoughts of self murder out of your head.

TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN "My history is soon told. I was a merchant's clerk, but always un lucky. As I had nothing for inheri• Lance, and the young girl I married was poor, I was never able to com mence business on my own account, and so remained on to old age in a dependent, subordinate position.— Finally, I was discharged on account ofmy years, and then began the.strug gle for subsistence. My wife died of trouble, and now my poor child wea ries to gain my support,l cannot bear to see her working herself to death for me ; thefore, it is better I go.— Now, you know all." "Friend," exclaimed the young man, "you are the most fortunate man I ever encountered in my life. It is insane to call that misfortune. Nothing is easier than to help you.— To.morrow I will make my will, and you shall be—no resistance—my heir. The coming night is my last. Before this, however, I mustsee your daughter, out of pure curitrsity.— I would for once see how one looks who really deserves the name of wo man." "But young man, what can it be that so early has made you un happy questioned the elder, much moved. "I believe it was the wealth . which my lather !eft me. 1 was the only, ison'of thoitiebeilt . banker' in My Who'. (. 4tlied "five years-Eli ing me more than was good for me. Since that time I have been deceived and betrayed by every one, without exception, will whoml have had any connection. Some have pretended friendship for me on account of my money; others have pretended to love me on account of my money; and so it went on. I often mingle, dressed in theg i. arb of a simple work man, with this*:massep, and thus one day beeame acquainted with a charm ing being—a young girl, to whom my ,whole heart went outin love. I disclosed to her. neither my name nor my position. 1 long ed to be loved for myself alone, and for a time it appeared asjf I was going to be happy at last. The young girl and I, whom she still regarded as a simple workman, met every afternoon in the MarenAplata*bere we walked up andAosy.gloge,tlier, passing many happy hours. -One....day, my girl ap peared with red eyes—t-he had been weeping—and told me we must part, confessing that her life belonged to another! With these words she tore herself from me and disappeared in the crowd. Her faithlessness decid ed my destiny. Vainly did I rush into pleasures which so-calledsoeiety has to offer, but found my lost peace of soul never, never ! I then deter mined to bring my joyless existence to a close." "Unhappy young man r said the elder, wiping hiaeyes, 'from my whole heart I pity you. I must acknowl edge that I was more fortunate than you ; for I, at least, was by two wo men—my wife and- daughter—ten derly loved." "Will you give me your address, good sir, that I may convince myself of the truth of your story ? It is ❑ot exactly mistrust, but I must see to believe. To-morrow I will arrange my affairs, as I have already told you. You will remain in this inn to-night, and early in the morning I will return.

It was not with out some treuble that he found the house. It was in a poor situation.— The young man knocked, opened the door, and involuntary stepped back. What. did he see?

Abuctliscr. A BUFFALO-TIGER STORY. A paper published in India tells this remarkably exciting story about an adventure there of an enthusiastic entomologist : "One very hot day, shouldering his entomological net, and with his bottle ofeyanide of potassium in his pocket for the purpose of killing his specimens, he had succeeded in tak ing several species of moths and bee tles, when, suddenly emerging on an open space, a gigantic female buffalo charged . righf down upon him. Quick as lightning the narrator sprang up a tree which fortunately happened to be near, and almost before he had comfortably settled down upon One of the branches, a buffalo calf appear ed upon the scene, and both mother and offspring sat down at the foot of the tree, directly under his position. In order to attract the attention of his friends who were in the neighbor hood, or of any native who might happen to be near, he shouted until he was hoarse. Ever and anon, by way of variation „with the vain hope of frightening away the buffalo, he awakened the extremest echoes of the jungle - with his yells, and perpe trated the most hideous noises ever produced by the human voice. All was of no avail; no friendly hand came to aid him and' the brute still lay placidly licking and caressing its calf. Ho was about to assume a standing attitude in the tree, when suddenly his left hand, with which he had seized a branch above his head was severely stung. or bitten by sonic insect or animal. Starting with the acute pain, as the fear of whip or tree snakes flashed through his mind, he involuntarily loosed his hold of the bough, and thus deprived of his sup port, he lost his balance and fell from his place of refuge. He dropped on the buffalo's back, and in another in stant was carried away at a tremen dous pace thrOugh the long thick grass of the jungle. It was a difficult matter to keepliis seat, when all at once the buffalo sprang into a large "tank," and he WINS immersed up to his neck in water. 'Unable to swim, he was obliged to cling to the brute, which for a time swam round and round the pool at her pleasure. He only hoped his leg would not be seized by one of the alligators, of which he had seen several in the water dining the day. Then, to his infinite horror, a stinging sensation in his leg made him feel sure he had again been bit ten by another kind of serpent. And stilt the - buffalo .showed :no eignsof returning towards the land, when just as he thought he was preparing to lie down he dug his heels into her side and delivered random blows with his fiats on her head and neck. Then, striking out for the land, the brute speedily reached the shore, on gain ing which, she commenced her mad gallop. A few minutes brought them to tke spot from which the animal had started, where the calf was. still' standing. The buffalo was prepar ing to lie down, when seizing the branches of the tree from which he had fallen on the brute's neck, he swung himself up into his old posi tion. He had not, however, been very long there when the smarting in his hand and legs caused him to remember that he had been bitten by snakes. The very- idea of this, and the knowledge that one of those yen• omous reptiles was in the tree on which he was perched, caused a dead• ly faintness, from which it was some time before be rallied. "Alternately fainting and reviving hour after hour passed aWay; night darkened down upon the jungle and the buffalo still kept watch and ward at the foot of the tree. At length, at an advanced hour of the night, he suddenly became conscious that a struggle was going on between the buffalo and some large wild' animal, which he judged to be a tiger. "The growling of the latter," he continua, 'the groans of the buffalo, the noise of their struggleS, and the incessant bleating of the calf,' combined in pro ducing a series of sounds, which, in the darkness of sight appeared worthy of the inhabitants of Pande monium. For full five minutes, which appeared hours to me, the dreadful - struggle continued, until at length the groans of the buffalo sub sided into a series of convulsivegasps and snorts, find the sounds of strug gling on the ground almost ceased.— • • I could, however, bear the tiger growling, snarling,_ and spitting like an immense cat. Of course descent was now quite out of the question. I therefore determined to remain where I was until daylight, if I did not die from the effects of the snake bites be fore morning appeared. So strong was the interest with which I listen ed and strained my eyes for the pur pose of learning what was going- on below, that I even ceased to think of this contingency, and forgot the death-like 'swoons I had previously experienced. After some time spent in listening to the noise made by the animal while enjoying his feast of buf falo flesh, the sounds ceased suddenly. I felt sure, however, that the beast had not departed, for I had kept my eyes fixed on the dark outlines under the shadow of the tree, and the mass remained of the same appearance. I fancied I could trace the form.Of a ti ger lying alongside the dead buffalo, and this was the shape the dark ob. jests had assumed and retained since the termination of the conflict" "At length, however, succor was at hand. Seeing a light in the distance, he,shouted as loudly as he conldi,and this attracted the notioe of a party who had'set•out in search of , him.-- On coming up to the spot, both tiger WHOLE NO. 805 and buffalO were found to be dead.— On telling his friends he had been bitten by snakes they first examined his band, and pronounced the wound he received whilst in the tree to have been caused by the sting of a hornet. On turning down his stockings they discovered Several leeches gorged with blood, for numbers of these vo rations animals had bitten him dur ing his ride through the water on the buffalo's back. The faintings be had experienced were attributed to loss of blood - from the leech bites. They then turned their attention to the dead tiger. Not a wound was dis covered about the carcass, but on slightly moving the body of the buf falo, they discovered the bottle of cyanide of potassium, which bad been intended for entomological purposes, broken, and partially introduced into the wound in the neck from which the tiger had sucked the blood of his victim. While imbibing the life blood of the buffalo the tiger bad also re ceived one of the most deadly poisons known, which in the course of a very short time had produced its usual fa tal result. The position of the two animals and of the deadly bottle left no room for doubting that such had been the ease. On ascending the tree in such hot haste the poison bottle and other little matters were drop ped, and during the struggle between the animals the former was broken, and perhaps even cut its way into the jugular of the buffalo ; thus probably assisting in the death of the latter, as well as proving, so fatally destructive to the tiger. On the appearance of dawn they discovered a small wasps' nest hanging in the tree, later in the day they had the satisfaction of su perintending the skinning of the ti ow and distributing the meat to the villagers, some of whom regard it as particularly strengthening food.— The absence of bullet holes rendered the skin a valuable one," A PARIS INCIDENT. A young boy of sixteen years of age was brought before the police court, Paris, charged with stealing and begging in- the pUblic streets.— He was a bright, fine looking boy but very poorly clad, and when brought before the judge, he fell upon his knees and begged him not to put him in prison ; that his mother was sick . and starving, and that alone had driv en him to steal ; that he could not find work ; and if ho was imprisoned, the disgrace would kill his mother.— The judge seethed somewhat moved at the boy's story; "but lie neverthe less, after hearing the evidence, con demned him to six weeks imprison ment. As the boy was being led away, a poor WOlllO.ll, pale, covered with rags, and her hair in disorder, forced her way through the crowd, and totter ing up to the boy, passed one arm around him and then turning to the judge, pushed back her long black hair, and exclaimed, "Do you recog nize me ? Thirteen years have pass ed since you deserted me, leaving me alone with My child and my shame ; but I have not forgotten you, and this boy whom . you have - just con demned is your 'son P? You may imagine, the effect this announcement produced on the by standers. The judge, in a loud voice ordered the woman to be carried from the court, and then left it him self; but joined the poor creature in the street, and carried her and her boy off in a carriage. A. EEMARKBL2 singular hoax was played upon the Missouri Legislature recently. .3.1. r. Wolfe, .of Platte county, a member of the House having gone home ' a despatch was re ceived by oner of his fellow members announcing his death. The despatch bore the name of a prominent gentle man, and no doubt was entertained of its genuineness. Accordingly the announcement was formerly made known both in the House and senate. The customary eulogies were pro nounced and resolutions adopted, and both branches of the Legislature ad journed, the House having previous ly ordered the hall in which it sits to be draped in mourning. This occur red on Thursday, the alst. Judge what the surprise of the members must have been when, on Saturday afternoon-4w° days later--Mr. Wolfe, in his own proper person, en tered the chamber and took his seat ! Thc.funeral hangings of the room were soon removed, and the members were quite as prompt in tearing off the crape which they bad resolved-to wear for the period of thirty days.— Of course Mr. Wolfe was much grati fied to see and read of the estimation in which he was held, but he was still better pleased with the conscious ness of„ his continued existence.— Nothing has • transpired with refer ence to the author of the hoax. O"" An officer down in Georgia tells the following story: One night Gen. • was out on the line, and observed a light on the moun tain opposite. Thinking it was a signal light of the enemy, he remarked tohis ar tillery officer that a hole could easily be put through it. Whereupon the officer, turning to the corporal in charge of the gun, said : "Corporal, do you see that light ?" "Yes. sir." "Put a hole through it," ordered the captain. The corporal sighted the gun, and when all was ready he looked up and said ; , , 'Captain, that's the moon.", "Pop i t care, fpr t 144," was the captain's ready response, ' 4 Put a hole, thrpugh it anyhow." anititrtiont: A FAMILY Fifiß FOIITOWII.AND 0017NTIM, IS PNINTED AND PUBLISHED WEEKLY By t.

Once upon a time, Frederick, King: of Prussia, surnamed "Old Fritt s ", took a ride, and espied an old farmer . plowing his acre by the wayside, cheer fully singing his melody. 'You must be well off, old men i '' said the King. "Does this acre be , long to you on which you so indus , triously labor 7" "No, sir," replied the farmer s who knew not it was the King. "I am, not so rich as that, I plow for wages." "How much do you get a day r asked the King. "Eight groschen" (about .twonty cents), said the farmer. "This is not much," replied the King. "Can you get along with' this ?" "Get along and have something left." "Row is that 7H The farmer smiled and Raid "Well, if I must tell you—two gro schen are fur myself and wife ; with two I pay my old debts; two I lend away, and two I give away for the Lords sake." "This is a mystery which I cannot solve, said the King. "Then I will solve it for you," . said the farmer. "I have two old parents at home who kept me when I was weak and needed help, and now that they are weak and need help I keep' them. This is my debt toward which - I pay two groschen a day. The third pair of groschen which I lend away I spend for my children, that they may receive a Christian instruc tion. This will come bandy to me and my wife when we get old. With the last two groschen I maintain two sisters whom I could not be compell ed to keep. This is what I give for the Lord's sake." The King, apparently well pleased with the answer, said : "Bravely spoken, old man, Now I will also give you something to guess. Have you ever seen me before T" "Never," said the farmer. "In less than five minutes you shall see me filty times, and carry in your pocket fifty of my likenesses." "This is a riddle which I cannot un ravel," said the farmer. "Then I will solve it for you," said the King. Thrusting his hand into his pocket and counting him fifty bran-new gold pieces into his hand, stamped with his royal likeness, he said to the astonished farmer who knew not what was coming : "The coin is genuine, for it also comes from our Lord God, and I am paymasi,er. -1 trid rzuz—acticrca-7" - BREVITY, It is said of the three most influen- - tial members of the Convention that formed the Constitution of the Uni ted States, that in all the debates of that body no one of them made a speech of more than twenty minutes. We have good authority for 'stating: that Alexander Hamilton, though reckoned among the most diffuse or ators of the day, did not occupy more than two hours and a half in his ar gument on.the trial of a cause, and his rival Aaron Burr, not more than an - hour and a quarter. A judge who was intimately acquainted with Burr and his practice, confirmed this state ment, adding that within his knowl edge this advocate repeatedly and shecessfully disposed of cases involv. ing a large amount of property in half an hour. . Indeed, said be, "on one occasion' he talked to the jury seven minutes in such a manner that it took me on the bench half an hour to straighten them out." I once asked him : "Col. Burr, why cannot the lawyers always save time and spare the pa tience of the Court and jury by dwelling only on the most impor tant points in the case ? To which Burr replied : "Sir, you demand the greatest fac ulty of the human mind, selection." He is well known to have been one of the most effective advocates in his time, and in Ws matter, if nothing else he deserves to be'studied and im itated. We refer to a single foreign exam- - pie an eminent English barrister : I asked Sir James Scarlet." says . Buxton, "what was the secret of his preeminent success as an advocate.— He said that be took care to press home the one principle point of the case; without much regard to others. He also said that he knew the secret of being snort. "•I find," said be, "that when I ex ceed half an hour, I am always doing mischief to my client. If I drive into the bends of the jury unimportant matter," drive out matter the more important I had previously lodged there." • We commend this method and his reason for it, not only to ministers, but quite as urgently to lawyers and members of Congress. Wuo is OLD ?—A wise man will never rust out. As long as be can move and breathe ' he will do some thing for himself, his neighbor, or for posterity. Almost to the last hour of his life Washington was at work. So were Franklin and Young, and Howard and Newton. The vigor of theii lives never decayed. NO rust ever marred their spirits. It is a fool ish idea to suppose that we must lie down and die because we are. old Who is old ? Not them an of energy; not the day-laborer in science, art or benevolence ; but he only who suffers his energies to waste away, and the springs oflife to become motionless ; on whose bands the hours drag to whom all thinga wear the garb of gloom.
