as closely as It does with the Stomach,

that the patient suffers from several or more of

The sufferer from these diseases should exer •

remedy for his case, purchasing only
that which he la as- rh Bumf from his in
yestigutious and in- Iv quiries possesses
true merit, is skill- fully co tuponsided ts
free from hilarious ingredients and has estab
11ahe.1 for itself a reputation for the cure of
these diseases. In this connection we would
submit these well-known remedies—
GERMAN BITTERS,
GERMAN TONIC,
DR. C. M. JACKSON,
Twenty-two years since they were that intro
duced into this country from Germany, during
which time they have undoubtedly performed
more cure+, and benetitted stiffed g humanity
to a greater extent, than any of er remedies
known to the public.
These remedies will effoctually cure Lifer Com
plaint, Jaundice, nyepepela, Chronic
or Nervous Debtlit 'EI Chronic Diarrhcea,
Diseases of the Ki dneyanndalidiseaS•
es arising from a dls- or d ered Liver,
Stomach, or Intestines. ;
Resulting tr'em any cause whatever ; Prostra
tion of the System, induced by Severe
Labor, Hardships Exposure, •
Fevers, ELC.,
There is po medicine extant came to these
remedies In such cams. A tone and vigor Is im
parted to the ' whole system, the appetite Is
strengthened, food is enjoyed, the stomach di
gests promptly, the blood is purified, the com
plexion becomes sound and healthy, the yettow
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 heavily upon them, with all
its attendant ills, will And In the use of this
BITTERrt, or the TONIC, an elixir that will in
stil pew life Into their veins, restore in a meas
ure the energy and ardor of more y,outhful days,
build up their shrunken forms and give -health
and happiness to their remaining years.
It Is a well established fact that fully one-half
of the female portion of, our population
are seldom in the en- Tjovinent of good
health • or, to nee jj their own expres
sion, nev er teel well." They are lan
guid, devoid of all energy, extremely 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 Ither of these remedies. They
will cure every case of BIAILUIMUS, without
fall. Thousands of certilleates have accumula
ted in the hands of the proprietor, but space
will allow of but few. Those,lt will be observed,

RECOLLECTIONS OF IRELAND.

PART TIIIRD
At seven in the morning we were in our
side-car on our way to Milltown, some six
teen miles on the sea coast. Passing along
at rather a slow pace, and suddenly looking
back over tho road which we came, there
broke upon us a vision of indescribable
peacefulness find grandeur. The Bay of Ell
kee—a silver card stretched along the hori
zon—seemed to pulsate with unheard melo
dy; while the largeboats we left at thehead
looked as though they were sea birds cling
ing to the bay, and between the hills on the
South side and the bay, a white, broken
range of clouds extended. Beyond the range
were the dark purple mountains adorned
with the blossoms of the heath. To the
Southeast the hills that walled in the road
suddenly gave way, and a vast ravine ab
ruptly opened. Across the head of this in'.
vine rose a wall of green, fertile hills; and
'heyond, and far above them again,, flinging
off the white haze which floated between it
and the sun, stood a round hill dotted•all
over with spotted rocks, denoting the ma
ture age of many hundred years.
Quickening our speed, and as we came to
the next turn of the road, we saw, slanting
in a short distance, a low, dark-colored little
house, roughly put together, with a roof of
ro e
straw pcting about a foot over the front
wall. his," said Currin, " is a shelveen."
So we ordered the driver to halt. " Good
morrow," ejaculated the proprietor of the
inn, when alighted from the car and moving
towards him, lifting his hat and bowing with
'the most gallant courtesy, as he walked in
befoie us. He did more—he was hospitable
as he was courteons..fitepping into the ante
room he brought out a bottle Of the pure
quill, a couple of glasses and a cork screw.
Without hesitating much, we drank his
health and prosperity to all Irish patriots.
Then it was his turn, and he drank ours.
ejaculating a sentiment in honor of—.
Two or three minutes more of pleasant gossip
with him about other matters appertaining
to that part of the country, and we parted
with a warm shake hands and the final
"bonaght loth," and up the road we started,
feeling quite merry, and leaving the Atlantic
crossly roaring in its jagged bed.
,After a few moments' hard driving, we
came in view - of Lough Donald, which ran
parallel to the Atlantic for about a mile and
a half. The beach between the lake and the
sea is but some fifteen feet wide, composed
of sand and rocks, which the rubbing of
ages has made as round as marbles, and when
dashed' with formf are as shiny as glass. But
the most singular feature of this natural curi
osity is the marvellous formation of the beach
but 'a little above the water's edge, and
when at full tide or stormy weather the sea
rolls in mountains above it, but' when com
.ing close to it,'it calms liken lamb and never
mixes with the fresh water of the lake. The
country higher up is surpassingly rich in
agricultural facilities; and, close by, themost
beautiful portion , of the country, the scenery
- Of it blending all the sterner with all the gen
tler features of Switzerland and the Tyrol,
and which will be pierced one day and
opened for the Atlantic—as soon as' the
dawn of freedom shines on the homes of its
inhabitants—and a future of prosperous ac-•
tivity secure for it which no one can re
sume to conceive at this moment, much less
to estimate. A little above this romantic
spot we came in view of Tromoroc. Tmmo
roe House is the residence of Sir Burton
McNamara. ' The , situation of this grand
mansion is in itself one of great beauty. We
halted at the grand gate, and taking a view
of the graceful, bill, upon which this beauti
ful house 'is built, surrounded with beautiful
out-houses, tall and majestic trees, orchards
strewed with neatly designed flower-beds, of
all the different varieties and hues to be
found in the botanic world; while on the
West, further up, the broad Atlantic opens
out a magnificent vista, where placid waters
mirror the hills and tree-tops of both aides
of Liscanor Bay_for 'many Further
up the broad °bean can be seen huge steam
ers prancing through the waters on their
_way to Galvrav, Changing attitude, and
*facing toward the North-east, might be seen
the residence of the O'Briens of Metalloid
and the comfortable homes, of their tenants
dotting the distant hills, and the view down
the bay towards Labinch of a fine summer
morning or afternoon if one of surpassing
loveliness.
About twenty minutes fast trotting brought
us in view of the Baths. This was a fash
ionable bathing place before Kilkee came
Into notoriety, and is still adorned with many
beautiful cottages and private residences,
among, which can be 'seen the Milltown
House, the residence of the Moroneys, com
manding a beautiful view of the country for
many miles around. There is the Lodge of
John Norris Russel, of Limerick, adorned
with geraniums on every widow, and the
tables of which are perfumed with flowers
of every hue. To our left, close to the beach,
laid Sandy Mount House, formerly the resi
dence of the Kerins. And beyond, farther
East, walling up the horizon, was Mount Cal
lan rearing itself abruptly from the plains
and valleys, few foot hills, no stretches of
wood to detract from the magnificent stature
with which it rose and displayed itself un
equivocally with its bold and broken crests,
with its deep and black recesst 6, with its
burthen of white clouds, iu all its massive
ness and majesty in the daizling light of
midsummer's morning, the calmness, the
glory of which was in full consonance with
Me dumb, gigantic features of the scene; a
cti n und quietude pervaded the morning
and subduing The immensity with
which it was fraught and featured into the
softest radiance. Bushes of the handsomest
growth came down in open order along . its
Bias, while buckle-berries and raspberries,
interwoven with flowers and flowering shrubs,
Made a thick undergrowth - about therm,
through which might be heard the rustling of
the grouse, the rabbit, and such wild game
which makes It their abode; while towering
MO and far above them all could be seen
the bold hills mantled in the purpled Mos
masa the heath, looking majestically down
from behind their , bridal robes on this grand
phenomena of nature,
Pursuing our course Easterly, we reached
the -Puffing Holes around Spanish Point
about twelve o'clock. As we entered the
place it was hailing us in 'tones of thunder,
and looking across upon Ahem from the op
posite hills, we sighed for the winds and f%r
that can never cease to blow upon the run -W
faceno those broken till& Movingeloser
to the brink, Welted a fair view of the cliffs
which the Atlantic • strikes many feet below,
tilling the chasm with its wild • and broken
-voice fiercelystriVtl. leaning over black
rocks which rose , t it. The sea rushed,
tumbled, and, wi itswollen this, swept
back for more reinforcements, then came
back striking against the cliff like they,
throwing water quite a distance over the
land.
Winding our way farther east our atten
tion was often drawn - to the hard-working
men—*-often attended by women—all along
the way, light limbed, patient, sinewy, active
and faithful to their trust in every vicissitude
of their pursuits against all odds; they rests ,
Intel,' pursue their way. Behold the indus
try of a down-trodden people ! Of honest in
dustry behold the inoffensive heroism ! Be
hold the Industry of a people whose history
has been obliterated and whose character-
Catles have been misrepresented ! No trumpets
to proclaim it—no triumphal archways to
mark its progress save those which His om
nipotent will has strewed the pathwayof the
toiler; the consciousness of persevering in
what is just; of rendering to the-homestead
and the welfare of thp country the services
that are due to them, vivifies antialightens it
with lustre, and the Holy Spirit who watched
over the shepherds tending their flocks in
the emerald solitudes of an oriental nation
are the invisible witnesses and historians of
its glory.
In Dublin—if we move towards the titley
—there is no cheer there; brilliant display
of fashions ; brilliant equipages ; fine wines
at the "Lord Lieutenant's," and g, ood. music
at the theatre royal but with all a discontented
populace and no glory-lkom the Government
to boast of; no amnesty for consolation ; no
new inducements offered to bolster the de
clining splendor of the city ; no new privile
ges granted to alleviate the condition of Its
inhabitants ; no new schemes inaugurated for
the financial relief of the country, in ap
pointing commissions of land holders, mer
chants and manufacturers for a full investi
gation of existing evils, and for the arrange
ment of some effective plan by which op
posing interests may he conciliated and the
offensive features of the present system of
taxation done away with, and peace and
tranquility restored to that distracted coun
try.- That land-holders, merchants and man
ufacturers should be re) far recognized by a
despotic monarchal Government would be
a promising sign, but such is not the case.
The commercial cities which in the days of
old were full of merchantmen •from many
lands, and their harbors which were crowded
with shipping from every sea now lay dor
mant, oppressed with dullness, and through
out the country there is a dreadful stagna
tion ; business still, and hearts that arc more.
fearfully still. Now it is some mother of
earnest sons, who have found-theft-way west
ward, saddened by their absence, and dread
ing risk of the betrayal of those at home
during espionage of the police, and perhaps
her home seized, and herself driven out deso
late, to wonder after those sons who are per
haps enrolled in the organization of the I.
R. B.
Again it Is the father , of young children
who are born into that' infamous thraldom ;
he, too, hopeful while the dream of -liberty
was bright has plunged himself in with na
tionalists, is detected at last and torn away
from his helpless, poor family and home, to
to ltngbr for life in the prisons of his native
country or banished to the wild regions of
Van Deimen's Land.
Such are the fancy pictures of that 'country.
Such events are of daily occurrence. The
iron glare of despotism is felt everywhere
throughout the land ; their pleasures and de
lights abandoned ; the people throughout the
country are in a fearfhl state of agitation,and
everything looks uncertain. 'The towns and
cities are crowded with soldiers, and no mer
cy for the poor man who utters a sentiment
in favor of his oppressed country, but cast
into a dismal cell, guarded firmly by iron
doors, to moulder as long as life remains.
The evening was approaching fast and we
'were yet four milea from the end of our day's
journey, so we ordered a quick step. On
both sides of the road all along the way are
beautiful cottages owned by families, from
different parts of thC country, to spend the
summer months by the sea shore. As the
sun was setting that bright and beautiful
-Civening In Jane, the emerald waters of the
ocean fairly glittered as though they wanted
to extract his brightest rays before singing in
the western horizon, and the white breakers
beyond rolled and roared, while the flashing
waterfall from the glen leaped to embrace
them with an answering shout. Beyond
their foaming line the sea was calm and still,
save where the dark billow.gradually swelled
upward from the deep. and, gathering power
as it moved, came hissing onward to tumble
into crashing surf upon the stubborn rocks.
The low moan of the evening breeze, sweep
ing among the- jutting pines and hollow
caverns, joined in the unearthly chorus, wail
ing like a lost spirit, and the lonely sounds
that were thus mingled in that wild spot
seemed to intone an anthem to the majesty
of a supernatural being.
We reached Lahineh at seven o'clock, and
after walking up and down by the battle
ment for a abort time we moved towards
Frank Lally's inn, where we met with a
warm reception from Mr. Lally, and soon
'after we had supper, after which bottles of
double stout came on the table in open order,
cork screws were plenty, and the corks flew
from the bottles in showers of lightning
speed around the room, and the fluid disap
peered quickly for a tithe, after which we
played billiards, and then retired to a tran
quil repose for the night.

Choosing a Wife.
BY A GE.NTLF.MAN OF SIXTY
Do not marry ono of the delicate, die-away
women, who are sure to degenerate into in
valids, and take a pride in their feebleness;
recount their pains, and tell of the hazards
they hare run ; sit all day in easy chairs, and
lounge on sofas, and become at last a sort of
forlornity ; and, having worn your patience
quite out, will get up an ill-used took, and on
the sly abuse you to -heir cronies. Heaven
save you from a complaining, forlorn wo
man !
Do not marry a woman with thin lips and
a glib tongue. She may be quite taking In
the flush of youth, piquant and anaming
while all is smooth and prosperous, but woe
to you if adversity come—woe to you, if you
should thwart her mood, or presume upon
dictation; that ready tongue of hers and
sharp wit will work you discomfort, for from
the first aho had the premonitions of a shrew,
and few men in Our days have the 'nerve of
Petruchio to quiet such feminine manifesta
tions. ,
I am sure it wise to marry a woman
of a different religious faith, or one far re
moved from your own social rank; or an
ignorant woman ; that is, one whose ignor
ance will annoy you. Many traits may
seem harmless, and even engaging in youth,
which in the long run will be very irksome
if not distressing.
Beware of those thin-checked, blue-veined,
narrow-chested girls, so much admired by
sentimental writers, unless you would trans
form what ouglat to be a cheery household
into a hospital.. Disease should never be as
sociated with marriage ; indeed, to a person
of a sound mind and healthful physique, it is
most repugnant.
Do not marry a girl who sits in the parlor
and dresses like a fine lady white her mother
works in the kitchen, for this implies a cold
selfishness, that may be anything but favora
ble to the peace and geniality of a household.
A certain roundness of contour; a com
posure and self-poise, devoid of heaviness or
sluggishness ; an elastic buoyance, a bright
uppish look, more of pride than vanity=; a
clear, open eye, and pure, child-like smile t.
hands and feet well proportioned, not too
small, are outlines easily 'discriminated, and
constitute a sate, reliable character. A cheer
ful woman, who can find something bright
and beautiful everywhere, and who knows
how to devise ways and means to make
others happy and content about her, is ajew
el of inestimable worth.
Cheerfulness of temper, candor that rejects
every species of falsehood, and owns to the
truth at any peril ; tenderness to be detached
by a fondness for and Willful care of pets,
rather than by outward expressions ; purity;
instinct in thought and action, intelligence to
appreciate all that is noble and good, end
health, sound and elastic, are traits to insure
duty as a wife and happiness in a household.

millions, and has the jewelry and. wardrobe
of a princess.

CIVILITY 16 A Fowl:nett --Civility is it for
tune Itself, fora courteous man always suc
ceeds well in life; and that when persons of
ability sometimes fail. The famous Duke of
Marlborough is a case in point. It was ssid
of him by one cotempontry, that his agreea
ble manners often converted an enemy into
a friend ; and by another, that it was more
pleasinVo be denied a favor by his grace,
than to receive 'one from any other man.
The gracious manner of Charles James Fox
preserved him from dislike. even at a time
when he was. politically, the moat unpopular
man in the Kingdom. The world's history

by civility: The esperien, o f every titan
furnishes, if we recall the past, frequent In
, stances when. e..neiliatore mamma hale
ramie the fortunes of physician,, lawyers,
divines. politicians,'/Inerehants, and indeed,
individuals of all pnraUlta. To then civility
is what beauty is to - womea—it is a general
passport to favor—a letter of introduction,
written in language that every one under
stands.
