• flentlernen 1--I have recently been laboring under the
distressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a pros
tration of the nervous system. Numerous remedies were
recommended by friends, and some of them tested, but
without relief. Your Hoot:band's German Bitters were rec•
ommended by, persons who had tried them, and whose fa•
curable mention of these Bitters induced rue to try theta.
I must confess that I had an aversion to Patent Iledicin X
from the "thousand and one quack "Bitten," whose o ,
ly airn seems to be to palm off sweetened and drugg
liquor upon the community in a ely way, runt the tenden
cy of which, I fear, is to make many a confirmed drunk
ard. Upon harming that yours was ,really a medicinal
preparation. I took it with happy efftlct. Its action, not
only upon the stomach, but upon the riervous system, was
prompt and grunfying. I feel that I av 4 derived great
• d permanent benefit from the use riffrtent bottles.
Very respectfully yours;

I have derived decided benefit from the use of Hoof

From Rev. P. Merrige, I:iustor . of_tbf Passyuak Baptist

From the many respectable recommendations given to
Dr. hloodand's German Bitters, I was induced to give
them a trial. After using se,ve,tal bottles I found them to
beg good remedy fur debility, and a most excellent tonic
for the stomach. D. MERRIGE.

L%RK MERIDEN
" Come, Mirk Meriden! don't settle down into
an oldgrandfather before your time—a pretty
wife'sjipretty thing, Mark, and a pretty house is
a pretty thing, but hang it! one must hare a lit
tle of life."
Mark Meriden stood at his desk, giving a last
look at his books, While Ben Sanford—the roguish
—the merry—the song singing—the Ben of all
Bens, was thus urging on hint, the claims of a
projected frolic that evening. Now, Ben was
precisely the messenger for such an embassy—
there was fun in the magic twinkle of his blue
eyes, and a world of waggery in the turn of his
head, and a pair of broad roguish chinples that
went merrily in and out of his cheeks every time
he spoke, and lie Mid hold of Mares arm to drag
hith away. But Mark shook otr his hand, a p.L
finished summing tip a column offigures—hut - the
blotting paper into the book; and the book into'
its place. wiped his pen, and at last, turning to
Ben. said:
I thia I n m i l go this time."
" Now, üby not ?" said Ben eagerly. -
" Became—because," Said Mark, smilingly,.
‘.• because I have an.odd fancy that I should like
the pleasure of Mrs. Meriden's company better
this evening."
-" Hang - - Mrs. Meriden—beg pardon. Mark—
hang myself for saying so—but one, don't like hi
see a fine fellow like you buried alive i—couir take
a real wake up with us."
" Thank you, Ben, but I haven't been asleep,
and don't need to. So MI go home and see my
wife," and thereat herturnitda resolute step home
ward, as a well trained husband ought.
" Now," says one of, our readers, " who was
Mark Meriden t" You would not have asketrr
giiod reader, if you had lived in the town, of
when his name first appeared on the outside of
one of its most fashionable shops, " Mark Meri
den," surrounded by those haring easigns of grace
and fashion so that young belles need not have
their eyes turned oil from beholding it. • Every
thing in the tasteful establighineut toff a well
arranged business. and Mark himself, ire mirror
of fashion. faultless in every article of costume,
quick,atteutive, polite, was every day to be seen
there winning •4 golden opinions from all sorts of
people." Mark's shop became the resort for high
ton—the fashionable exchange. the promenade of
beauty and wealth who came there to be enlight
ened as to the ways and means of disposing of
their surplus revenue—to see and be seen. So
attentive, polite and considerate was Mark, so
profound his bows, so bright his eyes, so unex
ceptionable his whiskers, that it might have proved
a dangerous resort for ladies, had not a neat,
tasteful house going up in the neighborhood been
currently reported as the future residence of an
already Mrs. Meriden, and in a few months the
house, neatly finished, and' tastefully furnished,
received the very lady who called herself to that
effect. She was as truly refined and lovely
woman as ever formed the centre flower in a
domestic bouquet, and Mark might justly be par
doned for having as good again opinion of
himself for haring been fortunate enongh to se
cure her.
Mark bad an extensive circle of busines:_n
pleasure acquaintances, for be had been one
social Companionable sort, whose money generlry
found its way out of his pocket in very fair pro
portions to the rate it came hi. In short, he was
given to clubs, oyster suppers, and now and then
a wine party, and various othevsocial privileges
for elevating one's spirits and depressing one's
cash that abound in enlightened communities.
'But nevertheless, at the bottom of Mark's head
there was a very substantial bump of a certain
quality called common sense, a trait which,
though it was never set down in any chart of
phrenoloc), way very justly be called a faculty.
'and one, ton, which makes a great difference as
the world goes. In consequence of being thus
constituted, Mark, %hen he tolled 1 - n113250i in love
with, and engaged to, a very pretty girl, began
to reflect with more than ordinary seriousness on
his habits, aa3s and mamwrs of
.life. He also
took an accurate survey of his business, formed
an average estimate of his future income on tilt ,
soberest probabilities, and determined to live a
little even within Thal. He also provided him
self with a little account book, with which he in
tended to live in habits of very close acquaintance,
and in this book he designed to note down all the
savings consequent upon the retrenchment of cer-
Min little extras, before alluded to, in which he
had been in the habit of pretty freely indulging
Upon the present occasion it bad cost him
something of an effort to say "no" for Mark was
one of your easy "clever fellows" to whom the
enunciation of this little syllable causes as much
trouble as the gutterals of the Germans. Flow
erer, when he came in sight of his -ptklor win
dows. through which a bright fire was shining—
v. him he entered and found the clean glowing
hearth, the easy chair drawn up -in front, and a
pair of embroidered slippers waiting, for him quite
at their leisure, and, above all, vgTteg he read the
quick glance of welcome in a pair of very bright
eyes, Mark forgot all about Ben Sanford and all
bachelor friends and allurements 14 hatever, and
thought himself about the happiest fellow on
earth.
The evening passed off rapidly by the help of
music, reading and a - little email talk of which
newly married people generally find &supply, and
the next morhing found Mark at early business
hours with as steady a band and as cool a head
as if there had been no such things as bachelor
frolics in existence.
Late in the afternoon, Ben .Sandford lounged.
in to ogle a few of the ladies, and above all to ral
ly Mar on losing ttirgloriousfon of the evening
before.
" Upon my word. Mark." be began. " we must
hat e ou put _up fur Selectman, you are beconnug ,
so:extretuely ancient and venerable in )our ways;
however, you are to be oxenged," he added," cir
cumstances considered—female influence f—ah !
well, it's a fine affair, this marriage!"
" Better TRY it, Mr. Saudford," said a bright,'
saucy girl, who, with her laughing companions,
were standing close by while Ben was speaking . .
"Ah ! madam, the wherewithal!" said Elm,
rolling up his-eyes with a tragic expression.
some clever old fellow would be so obliging as to
die now, and leave me n fen thousands—then, la
dies! tau would see."
"tut speaking of money;' said,:qatk,`74 hen - he
saw the ladies busy over sow- laces he had Wit
thrown on the counter--" w did your'glorioni
fan cost you 7"
"Pooh !--nothing! only a tgu _dollar bill, Eve
nothing in my purse now,.yotikiiow!"
"Nothing in your - pursi,it—not,an,citteozntuon
incident utter these oceaWittV-aaid,Mark, laugh.
ing.-- , „
'' . olo hang Wall," said Ben-=" totytrue! I eau
get no remedy for this 'consumption of the purse,'
.as old Falstaff says • however the world owes me
and so, goai minming!"
Ben Sandford was one of that class of young
men of whom common report goes, that they eau
do anything that they please, and who consider
this point so well established that they dobot con
sider it necessary to illustrate it by doing =any
thing at all. He was n Lawyer of good,ttalents,
and would have had an extensive not of losiness
had he 'not been one of those kind of people who
can never be found when wanted. His latv books
and office saw far less of him than certain fash
ionakk• places of resort, where his handsome per
son and carious social accomplishments always
secitred tsr him a stelcome reception. Ben had
Amite little properly left him by his lather, just
enough, as he used laughingly' to say, _"to keep
,him iu Owes and cologne water," and for the
rest he seemed vastly contented, with, his -old
maxim, "the world owes me a living," forgetting
that the world cats sometime prove as poor a
paymaster as the most fashionable young men go
ing. •
- But to return to Mark. \V Len he had settled
his accounts at night, , 4e took from a pigeon hole
in his desk the little bunk afore named, and.euter
ed as follows: "To one real wake up, $10,"
Which being done, he locked his desk, and return
ed once inure to Mrs. Meriden. _
Days flew on, and the-shop of Mark became
increasingly popular, and still from time to time
he was assailed by the kind -of 'temptatinn we
hose described. Now it was "Mark, mt dear
fellow, do join no in our trip to now,
"Come, my old fellow, let us hate a spree at
:" now it was the club, now the oyster
supper—but still Mark wns invincible, and as one
or another recounted the history of the scene, he
silently committed the amount of expense to his
little book. Yet was not 31ark synical or anew
'cial. His refusals though firm were good natur
ed, nod though he could not he Alrayenbroad,
yet he was unquestionably openhilida at tonne.
No house had so warm a welcome—no dinner fa
tile Could be M'ore bountifallor more ftoiflY open

lors of Mark Meriden. They also gave evening
patties; Wbee all ivas tasteful and well ordered; •
and in fine, notwithstanding his short comings,-
' Mark was set down as a fine openhanded fellow==
after all. •
At the-end of the year, 11. cast up ; the ac. _ count in his 'little book, an. 'az might i l y aston

oceations bad found their way into his columns,

That same evening came in Ben Sanford, as he
expressed it, "in the very depths or indigo!" for
young gentlemen whose worldly matters invaria
bly go on wrong end foremost, will sometimes be
found in the condition, however exuberant may
their stock of animal spirits.- •
"Pray, Ben, what is the matter?" said. Mark,

in an-ann chair, groaning audibly: `
"Ohl a bill.ions attack, Mr.tll--sboeinaker's

over the two or 'three first items, but Ids face
lengthened as he proceeded, and Mark detected a
sort of whistle of astonishment as he read the aim
total.
" Well, Mark!" he exclaimed,"whilt aconsid

laughed, but: nbt with his usual glee. -

account merely to see what I had been in the

day that I summed up the account, and I assure
you the result surprised Myself, and now, Ben,
the sum here set down, and as muck more as you
please is freely at, your disposal, to clear off old
scores for the year, provided you will accept this
little book as nislew Year's gift, and use it twelve
mouths as I hay& dime, and if at the end of that
time you are not ready to introduce me to Mrs.
Sandford, I um much mistaken."
Ben grasped his friend's hand, but then Mrs.
Meriden prevented his reply. Mark, however.
saw with satisfaction, that he put the book care
fully in his vest pocket; and buttoned tip-his coat
with the air of a man buttoning up a new resolu
tion.
When they parted for the night Mark'said with
a sable, "In ease of billieus attacks, yell know
where to send for medieine.r.-,Ben answered on

felt too full for him to answer.'

conclusion, as this is tt lady's-story, we will just
ask our lady readers their opinion on one point,
and it is this:
If Mrs. Meriden bad been a woman who under
stood what is called " catching r a beau," better
than securing a husband, if she bad never, curled
her hair except for coinpany, 'arid theakht it a de
