been requested to confect my name with rec

with a clear proof In various in.tances,

the usefulness of Dr. VII Hoofland's German
Bitters, I depart for once from my usual
eourse to express my full conviction that, for
General Debility of the System, and especially
for Liver Complaint, It is a safe and valuable
preparation. In same cases it may fail; but,
usually, I doubt not, It will be very beneficial to
those who suffer from the above cause,

Woman's Work.
Darling little stockings-,
For restless little feet f,
Washing little faces,
To keep them fresh and neat.
Hearing Bible legons,
Teaching catechism,
Praying for salvation
From heresy and schism,
Woman's work !
Sewing on the taittons,
Overseeing rations,
Soothing, with a kind wonl,
Others' lamentations;
Guilding clumsy Bridges,
Coaxing sullen cooks,
Entertaining company
And reading recent books,
Woman's work:
Burying out of sight
Her own nnhealing smarts ;
Letting in the sunshine
On other clouded hearts;
Binding up the wounded,'
Healing of the sick ;•
Bravely marching onward •
Through dangers dark and thick,
Woman's work
Leading little children
And blessing manhood's years
Showing to the sinful
How God's forgiveness cheers
Scattering sweet roses
Along another's path ;
Smiling by the way side s ,
Content' with what she bath,
Woman's work !
Letting fall her own tears
- Where only God can see;
Wiping off another's
With tender sympathy ;
Learning by experience, ,
Teaching by example;
Yearning thr,the gateway,
Golden, pearly, ample,
Woman's work !
At last eometh silenee—
A day of deep repose;
Her locks smoothly braided.
Upod her breast a rose.
Lashes resting gently
Upon the marble cheek ;
A look of blessed peace
Upon the forehead meek.
The hands softly folded,
• The kindly pulses still ;
The cold lips know no smile,
The noble heart no thrill ;
Her pillow needs no smoothing,
She craveth no care—
Love's tenderest entreaty
Wakes nb responses there.
A grave in the valley,
Tears, bitter sobs, regret ;
Another lesson taught,
That life may not forget;
A face forever hidden,
A race forever run ;
"Dust to dust," the preacher saith
And woman's work i:4_done.
PROPOSING BY- LETTER--A SAD
MISTAKE.
•
Eie en o'clock—at least so said the golden
tide of sunshine, creeping over the velvety
turf of the village green, and losing itself in
the -au mitring foliage of the big maple trees ;
an,. ,•-• said the little clock in Judge Cornell's
law u: --e on the main street, speaking In a
sharp, melodious chime.
Harry Grov,i glanced quietly up' at the
uncompromising, little dial, as he entered the
-domain of "Coke •ution Lfuleton." •
-"l'm late thismorninif." he muttered, hang--
ing up'his hat behind the dtior - ; "but, as good
luck will have it, the Judge has not made
his appearance yet" •
He was a straight, handsome yOung fellow;
with curly brown:hair, limpid hazel eyes,
,and a,--healthy flush oa•lus snn.browned
cheeks—cine'you could tru'st, ft routranee, as
you looked into his frank, honest face. There
was not many such—more's the .pity ! _
-"Whew—whew—whew !" whistled Mr.
• Harry Grover, turning over his pile of legal
documents in a very ;unmethodical 'sort of
way. "Law and love were never meant to
go together; of that I am certain. Pretty
Ariel Browne's blue eyes are shining rogue
ishly out at me from' every bit of parchment
or printed blank I touch. Mow lovely she
was,,ltiit night—and who would ever sup
pose that the old cat with the false curls and
grinning porcelain teeth could be her. aunt?
Rich, too, they,say - ;',..a good match'sfor some
desperate fortune-bunter, who is willing to
swallow the bitter old pill for the sake of the
gold coating. 'Let me see—talking of old
Experience Brown, I believe I have a letter
to write to her about that piece of land by
the school-house corners that she wants me
to buy. Not I'! When I purchase land for
a building spot, it Won't be a desolate past
ure, where rocks and mullen stalks tight to
gether to see which shall possess the staunch
soil. The old lady must, take me for a very
unsophisticated 'character indeed. I wonder
now if blue-eyed Ariel will ever be 'a 'wrin
kled •catamaran, clutching after bargains?
Pooh! I abould• as soon think , of a white
_plumed little'dove being transfOrmed into a
greedy vulture:" •
He leaned back ih his chair, with 'both
hands clasped on ihe top of his curly head,
and Looked out abstractedly into the slushy
village street, humming an old• tune under•
his'breath—a tun ti whose burden was" Love,
still love." • ,
.Plainly, tlr. Harry Grover was verylittle
r disposed for work that morning. And when,
at twelve o'clock, Judge Cornell. came in,
there was but a hopeless cholas of 'papers on
the table to represent his younger partner's
ma ti nal-labors. .
"Why, Grover, you haven't accomplished
a thing this morning," said the old Judge,
glancing keenly-around through his 'antique
silver-bound spectacles, "I am afraid that the
pretty girls at Squire Dickthorn's party last
night were too much for your mental equili
brum."
you see;sir, I've been rather sorting
the papers - over," said Harry, a little sheep.
ishly, "and I have written two letters thli
morning."' .
"Twci letters r .
• "Yes, sir." •
"May I ask to whom ?" .
.
"One to old' Miss Experience Browne,
'about the lot she wanted to sell me—a regu
lar clipper, giving the old hag a piece of ms ,
inind—and the other—"
"The other—" . '
~q
"Ahem—that wasn't exactly a business
letter. Now, (Judge, suppose you and I look
over these ejectment papers together l"
The Judge smiled slily.; he had an idea as
to what the other letter -contained. Every
one In town-knew how hopelessly Mr. Harry
Grover was inlove with pretty Ariel Browne.
Judge Cornell had been young himself not
many years a g 6.
"It's just as.well for the ISd to marry aid
settle down," thought the old gentleman,
"and Ariel will certainly make him as sweet
a little wife as human- mortal could- wish
for." •
Harry-needn't have been .so mysterious,
41ealing and directing his two letters • at the,
tall desk behind the office door -
Judge Cornell knew just as well what was•
in them as if he had read every word with
his own eyes. But young people have a
mistaken idea that old folks don't know any
Miss Ariel Browne sat in her room, busy
with a complicated piece of bright colored
web-wolf that ladies call "crotchet," when
Bridget tapped softly at the panels of the
door.
"Please, Miss Ariel, a letter."
"A letter 1 and • for me! Dear me, Bridget,
who can it be from t" •
"Fats, then, it's myself doesn't know, but
Lawyer Grover's office boy bropght it, and
an impudent young o*totsen he is for—"
But here Bridget became Oonsdoin that
her yOung mistress was paying no attention
to her, and withdrew into her department of
the kitchen, there to nurse her gtieik in soli
tude.
Ariel's cheek had turned as pink as the in-
side of a wild rosebud, as she read the super
scription of the letter, and herheart beat per
haps a pulse or two &star than was its wont,
but she broke open the MisISIVO with a rest).

Ariel threw down the note, and burst into
tears.

she lobbed: • Pipets, indeed t
PO= the gots Mato Ws Itioelsarpo•
nic. Oh how foolish I hsvubkqn how
surd, and I am rigl4Y Purthibtb for my
folly .
But still Ariel wept on when a gin
eighteen has built np a glittering castle in
the air,whost foundation is in her own heart,
she cannot see it dashed ruthlessly into ruins
without a few natural tears.
Meanwhile, Miss Experience Browne,mtat
fifty well•ripened autumns, was reading with
no little astonishment, the letter - which
Bridget's enemy, the postboy, had brought
for her.
"U—pon my word r exclaimed Miss Ex
perience, slowly and emphatically. "The.
Impertinent young fortune-hunting humbug!
Does he suppose I am s horn fool to swallow
such a pack of sentimental flattery as this.?
'Lovely eyes—dimples!' If he'd have said
spectacles and wrmkleShe'd have been con
siderable nearer - right. No, you don't my
fel lo w—no—you--dOn' t ! Experience Browne,
hason't lived fifty-five years in the world to
fall into such a trap as this at last. 'He'll'
call this afternoon to receive the answer that
is to decide the current of his future life,'
will he? Well, let him call, I'll be ready for
him, and I is arrant me he won't be in a hur
ry to call again."
And Miss Experience chuckled to herself
until all the Mao curls quivered as she folded
the letter neatly, and put il back into itshur
riedly-dlrected envelope.
'I-never had an offer of marriage before,"
she thought, viewing her autumnal counte
nance in the pier-glass, and adjusting the
little puffs of ribbon in her cap-border "and
It does make one feel kind of queer! It's
something to tell of, anyway.. BetlivarJones
needn't go to saying now that I am an old'
maid because I never had an offer. I just
wonder what Ariel would say—l guess I
will not tell her; she would only laugh at
me."
Miss Experience drew herself up as grimly
as if her spinal column were a bar of iron,
that afternoon, when Bridgt. announced •
"Mr. Grover, mans!"
"Show him in, Biddy—l am luite at leis
ure to receive him."
And our hero, entirely innocent of the im
pending storm that awaited him, walked into
Miss Experience's awful presence, with a
bundle of title deeds in his hand, tied with
the official looking red tape of his profession.
"Good afternoon, Miss Experience."
"Ain't you ashamed of yourself, Harry
Grover?" ejaculated ihe spinster, in a deep,
stern voice ; "get along with yourself, makin'
love to an old woman more 'n twice us old
as you be, just because'she's got a little mon
ey What do you take me fur, hey ? Don't
stand starin' there ! Walk out of this room,
quick, or I'll throw the big dictionary at your
head! No, no, no !—Now have you got
your answer plain enough ? I wouldn't
marry you if there warn't another man in the
town !"
Harry Grover was a little appalled at this
charge of horse and foot, but lie stood his
ground manfully, not evrrquailing at the
big dictionary!
"But, Miss Browne—will you hear a mo
ment ? I don't want you to marry me!
What has put this strange fancy im your
head?" •
"You don't want to marry me ? Then what
the mischief does this letter mean, I'd like to
know ?"
"May I look at it 1."
"harry took the letter and glanced at it ;
its contents threw a new light upon the un
accountable state of affairs.
"Good - Cupid! what a blockhead—what
an unmittigated, inexcusable, incomparable
donkey I have been ! What could I have
been thinking about ?"
"Hey ?" demanded the puzzled spinster. -
"Excuse me, ma;am, but there has been a
mistake—a—" •
And without stopping to complete his frag
mentary•sentence, he rushed out of the room
to the little bay-window parlor, where Arid
usually.sat. • •
"Well, I never!" . exclaimed 'Miss Experi
ence, as the door banged unceremoniously
in her face.
"Ariel! 3filss Brown 4"
But Ariel turned haughtily !tom the plead- ,
ing eyes of her lover.
"Your letter is quite sufficient, sir ; I - need
no further exponent of your meaning."
•" - Ariel—darling : —there has,been an 'absurd

Extraordinary Experiment of a Basittfu
Lover with a Planchetie.
From tha Sew Albany Ledger, Md ult
A few evenings since a young gentleman
made a purchase of one of these tell tale ma
chines, and repaired to the residence of the
young lady to whom he was paying his ad
dresses, with the hope that,Planchette would
reveal to him what he had failed, for want of
courage, to obtain froni his fair dulcipea. Af
ter arriving at the house with the little joker
concealed, and spending a- few moments in
the ordinary commonplaces with the young
lady who had so drawn upon his warm al
fections, he managed to Introduce Planchette,
find stated that he had one with him, and if
the young lady had objections they would
while away a short time in testing the pow
ers of the Invincible. Accordingly they ar
ranged themselves at the (able, and after
spending some length of time in serious ef
fort, they succeeded in receiving answers
that satisfied their minds thatPlanchette was
but to well acquainted with. the affairs of the
world, and what lies in the future. 'Embold
ened by success, the young lady propounded
mentally, sundry questions, and prompt ans
wers were returned. •
. ,
The sequel to this interview wee give to
our readers, as related to us by a female
friend to whom it had been confided, giving
We questitma and scepunnem in rho order in
,which they occurred.. As arnattei of course
the manipulator being a young lady, her fur
inquiry was, " Shall I ever marry?' "Yes"
promptly tame from Planchette. " When?"
Four years." "To whom?" ".B— B—."
This was entirely satisfactory, as it included
both the parties• present, and . was the con
-summation both devoutly wished, except as
to - time, which • appeared to be unrea
sonably delayed. "Shall we be hap
py?" '" Perfectly." Now followed a
question to which the young lady desired a
faithful solution, as it appeared to - her the
consumation of earthly bliss . "Shall we
have children?" "Yes. "Girls and boys?"
"Certainly." "How many?" The answer
this the lady was anxious to note carefully,
ea much depended upon the result. Plan"-
cbette was deliberate, evincing no haste, de
siring to make no mistake in his tigunia, but
wrote with considerable distinctness.
"8-e-v-e-n-t," when the young lady shoved
the instrument from her with such force that
it fell upon the floor, and it divided in halves
by the fill. Whether Planchette intended
"seventeen" or "seventy" was not determined,
and we presume time alone can discover the
entire answer.
