, “Going Home to Die.” ‘ W«’ nietj afew days since. a friend of former years, who like thousands of othera,, had, in the noopvof. manhood Beared all the tics which bound nun to his ! fchUdhood r a home, and sought a land with a view of collecting n.Wnfe-. rapidly-'the-goods, of this world. - When we parted with him first, he was robust in health, buoyant in spirit, and ...flushed in the hope of future gain. ‘'When we, parted with him last, his •healthy his hopes, his energy had all left* him; Many thousands of the sor did dust of earth, had rewarded his l exertions and toils in his adopted home; but he was “going home to ate!” All of that man’s worldly schemes ' have been more than fully realized. For him the fickle wheel of Fortune - knew no reverse of action. For many ’prosperous years, all the endeariug scenes of his childhood were but as dim and shadowy reminiscenses of the past; less palpable even than the unsubstan tial fabric of a dream. But when the : Life-Bands in the glass of Time were • neariyrun, we found him wending his drefcry, cheerless, joyless way to the homes of his fathers, with no sentence upon his lips, which seemed to be the offspring of his heart, save ”1 am going home to die!” , , u Going home to die !” What a Ban, what a mournful, what a melancholy commentary, ia contained in that one simple sentence! How much like the tapping of the sepulchural finger of Time, upon the coffin-lid of burned memories, does that sentence sound as it falls from the pallid.lips of the half dead man! What volumes does it speak in condemnation of the vanities, wishes, desires and ambition ot the world! When health and youthful vigor ushers in the dawn of manhood, with what ease and mental complacency, do we sever every tie of affection and sink into seeming oblivion all the treasured scenes of early iite ! But when age, the grave chronicler of the would-be lor gotten past, traces with its iron pen, the furrowed lines upon the troubled brow, the weary "pilgrim on the path of life, craves no earthly boon, save the melaneholly privilege of “going home to die!” Then for the first time, to the weary wanderer, who soon must lay his galled hack upon his mother earth, in dreamless repose, does the humble cottage in which he had his birth, stand out iu hold relief on memory’s tablet; while in fancy’s ear, lie hears again, the voice of affection on a mother’s tongue, miu gled with the boisterous mirth of a guileless sister. Then lor the first time, in Fancy’s eye, does he chase again the painted Butterfiy across the clover blooms of the well known field, regaled by the song-bird’s varied notes as they ring through the air of his woodland home! Then for the first time, pel* chance, does lie bow the aged knee, in humble reverence, and petition for tlie poor privilege of u going home to die ! Who is there who does not wish to die “among his kindred?” Who is there that does not think that, when Life’s fitful dream is over, that his moulderiug manes cannot better repose beneath the same sod which presses on the coffin lid of his sainted mother or mingles its clay with the bones of a venerated lather? Who is there among us, when bereft of every earthly pros pect, hope and joy, would not, like our dying friend, consider it a lenient as well as a heart-cheering dispensation of Providence'; to be able to say with him “/ am going home to die /” For this privilege and prospect all the world is strenuously laboring! We see around us daily hundreds who are il going home to die!” Some are slow and lardy in their movements; others there are, who rush with a nervous ra pidity to the destined goal. Butjallare "going home to did” Many, it is true w.fio will not be favored with the privi lege of mingling their dust with the loved ones of other days. Many, it is true, who will not find a grave in the cemetry of the homestead, but not one of the vast multitude, who will not find sooner or later, like our disease-stricken frieud, that they have been laboring for years for the isolated privilege of being finally able to say with him: “I’m ooing home to difA”—Culpeper ( Va.)

B r a m shank County, Kentucky. | A. A correspondent of the Mt. sterling (Ky.) Sentinel gives tlie following ac count of a liery iiend visible in Bracken county : Bracken Co., Ky.,Feb. 17, iSflO. Tiic people in this neighborhood are in the greatest state of excitement in consequence of a remarkable visitation' or apparition, of} some demoniacal per sonage in our midst. I am not a be liever in the doctriue that disembodied spirits can “ revisit the glimpses of the moon,” nor do I believe that epoch de signated in prophecy, when the chains of Satan are to be unloosed, has arrived.* But the things whereof I now write are of such strange import, so inexplicable, Hat 1 have determined to put you in possession of a full and explicit narra tive of them, merely premising that every word is true, and the facts sworn to, as wituess the accompanying affida vit. What it is, lam unable to say. 1 merely give the facts, such as I am per sonally cognizant of, and- leave it to wiser heads than my own to unravel the .mystery. On Monday night last, after myself and family had retired to rest, we were suddenly aroused by a great outcry from the negro quarters—which are immedi ately to the rear of the house—in which prayers vied for supremacy with blas phemies, men, women and children screaming “fire!” and “murder!" at the top of their voices, ail conspiring to create a scene worthy of a pandemoni um. Terribly startled, my wife and I sprang from our bed. The room was illuminated as brightly as by a llood of sunlight, though the light was of a bluish cast.. Our first and most reasonable con clusion was that she negro cabins were being consumed by fire. We rushed to the windows and beheld a sight that fairly curdled the blood in our veins with horror, and filled our hearts with the utmost terror. My daughter, shriek ing loudly, came running into my room, hysterical with fear. This is what we beheld : Standing to the right of the upper cabin, near the fence that separates the negroes’ garden from the house yard, was a creature of gigantic stature, and the most horrifying appearance. It Was nearly as high as the comb of the cabin, and had a monstrous head not dissimilar iu shape to that of an ape ; two short very white horns appeared above each eye; its arras were long, cov ered with shaggy hair of an ashy hth, and terminated with huge paws, not unlike those of a cat, and armed with long and hooked claws. Its breast was as broad as that of a large sized ox. Its legs resembled the front legs of a horse, only the hoofs were cloven. It had a long tail, armed with a dart shaped horn, which it was continually switch ing about. Its eyes glowed like two liying coals of fire, while from its nos trils were emitted sheets of bluish col ored flame, with a hissing sound, like the hissingof aserpent, only athousand fold louder. Its general color, save its arms, was a dull, dingy brown. The air was powerfully impreg nated with a smell ‘of burn ing Bulphur. The poor negroes were evidently laboring under the ex tremest terror, and two of them, an old woman arid lad, were actually driven to insanity by their fears, and have not recovered their reason up to this writ ing. I do not know how long this monster, demon or devil, was visible after we reached the window—possibly some three seconds. When it vanished it was enveloped in u spiral column of flame that reached nemly to the tops of the locust trees adjucent, and which hid his horrid form completely from view. The extinction of the Hume was instan taneous, and with its disappearance we were relieved of the presence of this re markable visitor. It would be impossible for me to at tempt to describe the oiled of this visi tation upon the members of my family. Suffice it to say, that my wife and two daughters are firmly persuaded that it was the veritable Satan. For myself I would willingly believe that we aJI, £>y some curious coincidence, had been the viotimß of a horrid nightmare, did I not know that we were fully awake, and actually witnessed that which b above : recorded.' Again, if ours had been the only family visited by this unearthly creature, I should have kept'siient, and, perhaps, tutored my mind into the be lief that it was an hallucination. But precisely the same apparition S , JJ 8 a PP ear &nce at*my neighbor’s, Mrs k Wm. Dole, appearing there in pre cisely the same shape in which it pre sented itself to us, save the head, which appeared to those who witnessed it at ! ;. r f‘ _ ' JErsi.JD,'fTfolresemble that of-a horse. .Alt .Mr. Adam Fuqua's, another hejgh i borjifa laeiid was that of a vulture. • On Inesday night it Mr. Jesse 'Bond’s, ’ there. wearing tha head of an elephant. Atall these’plaoes it made the same:appearance as at my house — —an§ disappeared in the same manner. These parties are all reliable ladies and gentlemen, and at my request have made oath to what they witnessed. What it is, what its object, what its mission, is something that passes my poor comprehension. What 1 have above writen is simple, unadorned truth. You are at liberty to use this in any manner you may esteem proper. Respectfully your friend" Nathaniel G. Squires. State op Kentucky, Bbacken Co. —Set. —This day personally appeared before theundersigned.John G. Finley, Justice of the Peace, within and for the county-and State aforesaid, Nathaniel G.

And I certify that affiants are credible and reliable persons, and their statements entitled to full faith and credit. . John G. Finley, J. P. B. C. Chicken In nis Hat. Nat, a friend of ours, iB very poor, rather light fingered, and it Is said, not so brigbtashis parents could wish. The other day, while passing a neighbor’s, Nat saw a brood of chickens, and im mediately caught a fine one to carry home. He had not gone far, however, before he saw the owner coming up the road, and not knowing what to do with the chicken to conceal it, at last suc ceeded in crowding it into his hat, which he again placed upon his head. But the chicken having a longing for liberty, and being also pressed for air, managed to thrust his head tlirough an opening in Nat’s old straw hat. Nat was pres ently accosted with— “ What have you got in your hat ?” 11 Nothing but my head,” said Nat. “ But I see a-chicken’s head sticking through the top of it, Nat.” Nat, taking off his hat and looking at it in feigned astouisment, exclaimed : 11 Wall, how do you s’pose that critter come in there? He must have crawled up my trowserleg !” The Siamese Twins Eclipsed. Two negro children are now on exhi bition at Raleigh, N. C., that excite mucheuriosity. They arefourteenyears of age, and were born of slave parents in Ansom county. The Standard speak of them as follows: “The connection between these girls is closer than in the Siamese twins there being more of the physical am. mental organs pommon to each. The connection begins below the neck and terminates at the extremity of the spine. To touch one at any point of the body below the connection sends a sensation in the brain of each; while a touch of either above the connection is felt by that one only. They can talk to differ ent persons at the same time on entire ly dillereut subjects; and one can engage in a game of whist while the other reads or sings. The lady who has them in charge was their former mistress, and is now commencing a tour with them un der a contract with their parents, who are both living.” — l The three degrees of comparison in mining—mine—miner —minus. grofessUmal ©ante.

Nervous Affections and General Debility are not generally looked upon as a disease, and persons suffering from these complaints are often treated with contempt. But mauy per sons die annually from Nervous Affections.— Llkeinlossof Appetite, a Nervous Affection always springs from or Is the result of other diseases. Thus persons recovering from a s.eyere attack of Fever will find their system prostrated, and if they have not sufficient re cuperative power, aided by proper medicine they will sink into a nervous deoility to be re lieved only by death. And again, persons suf fering, from some severe mental trouble, or who nave been subject to excessive hpat, ex haustive toil or other causes t .at prostrate the physical nature of mankind will often find themselves subject to nervous diseases. The cause of all clasßes of nervousness is a lack of vital power superinduced by some of the above mentioned complaints. To euro this disease often baffl s the most experienced physician, who prescribe for it without ati empting to remove the disease which it springs. Whattbe system In all such complaints needs is, something to invigorate and at the same time remove the cause. This Mishler’s Bitters most effectually accom plishes. In addition to the tonic properties, we find these Bitters contain all the stimulat ing and invigorating qualities of Elecampane, Spikenard, Sassafras, and Buchu combined. Persons suffering from any of the many kinds of nervous diseases should use Mishler’s Bitters. Let them commence with a wine glass full three times every day and they will soon find their relaxed nerves acquirea natural tension, the muscles recovering consistency and vigor, appetite increasing, digestion im proving, and in fact a thorough renovation and recuperation of the whole system. Mishler’s Bitters remove the cause, brace up and invig orate the whole physical stractnre, and thus cure all kinds of nervous diseases. mar 2 wdAw QOVEBNMEKT HARNESS A|ND WHOLESALE OR RETAIL. 7,000 Sets (slightly worn) Team Harness for Horse or Mule.

W. D. Seigfried, Pastor of Twelfth Baptist .Church, Philadelphia. Gentlemen:—l have recently been labornig nder the distressing eflects of Indigestion, ac companied by a prostration of the nervous sys tem. Numerous remedies were recommended by friends, and some of them tested, but with out relief. Your Hooflaud’s German Bitters were recommended by persons who hail tried them, and whose favorable menilou of these Bitters induced me to try them. I mast con fess that I nad an aversion to Patent Medicines from the “thousand and one” quack “Bit ters,” whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and drugged liquor upon lua com munity in a sly way, and the tendency of which, I fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation I took it with happy effect. Its uction, not only upon the stomach, but upon the nervous system, was prompt and gratifying. I feel that I have de rived great and permanent benefit from the use of few bottles. Very respectfully vourn. W. D. SEIGFRIED, No. 254 tihackainaxon SLreet. A From tlie Rev. E. I>. Fendall. Assistant Edlloi Christian Chronicle. Philadelphia. I have delived decided beuellt from the use of Hooflaud's German Hitters, and leel It iny privilege to recommend them as a most valua ble tonic, to all who are suffering from gen eral debility or from diseases urisfng from de rangement of the liver. Yours truly, E. D. FENDALL. From Rev. I).„Mernge Pastor of the l ussyunli Baptist Church, Philadelphia. From the many respectable recommenda tions given to Dr. HooUuud’s German Bitters, I was induced to give them a trla-. Alter using several bottles 1 fouud them to be a good remedy lor debUlty, and a most excellent touic for the stomach. From Rev. Wm. Smith, formerly Pas to r of the Viucenttown and Millville (N. J.) Baptist Churches. Havlug used In ray family a number of bot tles oJ your Hoofland’s German Bitters, i have to say that I regard them as an excellent med icine, specially adapted to remove the diseases they are recommended lor. They strengthen and invigorate the system when debilitated, and are useful in disorders of the liver, loss of app l tile, Ac. 1 have also recoin mended them to several of my friends, who have tried them, and tound them greatly beneficial in the resto ralii uof health. Yours truly, WILLIAM SMITH, POO Hutchinson street. Philadelphia. D From the Rev. Levi G. Beck, Pastor of the Baptist Church, Pemberton, N. J.. formerly of the North Baptist Church, Philadelphia, at pre sent Pastor of the Baptist Church. Chester, Pa. • * * • * • I have known Hoofland's German Bitters favorably for a number of years’ I have u.sed them in my own family, and have been so pleased with their effects, that I was luduced to recommend them to many others, and know that they have operated in a strikingly benefi cial manner. I take great pieusure In thus publicly proclaiming this fact, and calling the attention of those afflicted with the diseases for which they are recommended, to these Bitters, knowing from experience that m> recommen dation will be sustained. Ido this more cheer ful! as Hoofland's Bitters is intended tobeuellt the afflicted, and is “ not a rum drink.” Yours, truly, LEVI G. BECK, • • • • • From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of the Encyclopedia of Religions Knowledge and Christian Chronicle, Ptiliadelphi . Although not disposed to favor or recom mend Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of their Ingredients and effect', I yet know of no sufficient reasous'why a man may n -t testify to the b netits lie believes himself to have received irom any simple preparation, lu the hope that he mav thus contribute to the benefit of others. I do this the more readily In regard to Hoof land's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, ol this city, because I wus prejudiced against them for many years, nnaer the im pression that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. I am Indebted to my friend. Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this preju dice by proper tests and for encouragement i o try them when suffering from great and long continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bittere at the beginning or the present year, was followed by evlflent rellefanarestor atlon to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend directing me to the use of them. J. NEWTON BROWN, Philadelphia. From the»Rev. Tnos. Winter, D. D., Pastor of Roxborough Baptist Church.
