medicinally termed, Extracts) of Roots,
Herbs an d Barks, =S making a prepara
tion highly concen- 11 trated and entirely
free (rem alcoholic admixture of any

llootiand's German, Tonic
Is a com b ination of all the ingredients of the
Bitters, with the purest quality of Banta Cruz
Rum, Orange,. etc., making one of the most
pleasant and agreeable remedies ever offered to
the public.
Those preferring a Medicine, free from Alco
holic admixture, will use
ILOOFLANTXS -GERMAN BITThRS
Those who have no objection to the coruhlaa-
Ma of the Bitters, as stated, will use
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
They are both equally good, and contain the
same medicinal virtues, the choice between the
two being a mere matter of taste, the Tonic be
ing the most palatable.
The stomach, from Is variety of causes, such
as Indigestion, Dys- peiole Nervous De
bility, etc., is very apttohave its func
tions deranged. The IA •
Liver.sympathlzing
as closely as it does with the Stomach,
then becomes affected, the result of which is
that the patient suffers from. several. or more of
the following diseases:
Constipation, Flatulence, Inward Piles, Full
nims of Blood to the Head Acidity of the Stom
ach, Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food,Full
ness or Weight In the Stomach. Sour Eructa

Prepared by
DR. C. M. aiLCIISON,
Philadelphia, Pa
•
Twenty-two years since they wort; ling intro
duced into this country from Germany, during
which time they have undoubtedly performed
more cures, and beneflUed suffering 'humanity
to a greater extent, than any other remedies
known to the public.
These remedlini will effectually cure Liver Com
pl a int, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Chronis
or Nervous Chronic Diarrhoea,
Diseases of the Kid- new and all diseas
es arising from a dis- or der ed Liver,
Stomach., or Intestines.
DEBILITY,
Resulting from any cause whatever; Prostra.
Hon of the System, induced by Severe
Labor, Hardships, Exposure,
Fevers. Etc.
There Is no medicine extant equal to these
remedies in such crows. A tone and vigor is itn
warted to the whole system, the appetite is
strengthened, fcsxl is enjoyed, the stomach di
gests promptly, the blood is 'purified. the com
plexion' becomes sound and healthy, the yellt3w
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 find in thence of this
BITTERS, or the TONIC, an elixir that will In
stil new life into their veins, restore in a meas
ure the energy and ardor of more youthful days,
build up their shrunken forms and give health
and happiness to their remaining years.
NO2 I .ICM.
It Is a well establhbed fact that fully one-half
of the female portion of our population
are seldom in the en- T Joyment of good
health; or, to use ..LJ their own expres
sion, "never feel well." They ate 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 tither of these remedies. They
will cure every case .of MARARMUS, without
fall. Thousands of certificates have accumula
ted in the bands of the proprietor, but space
will allow of but few. These, awn! be observed,
are men of note ancl of such standing that they
rtinst be believed.

Art. Jecksoic—Dear Sir :—I have frequently
been requested to connect my name with rec

lit regarding She practice as out of my appro
priate sphere, I have in all cases declined but
with a clear proof in various instances,
and particularly in XT my own family, of
the usefulness of Dr. IA lloofiand's German
Bitters, I depart Sor onlce 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 some cases it may fail: but,
usually, I doubt not, it will be very beneficial to
those who suffer from the above C 61154.

My Mother'. Sigh.
My mother's sigh ! I hear it now,
Tho' years have paned away ;
Unheeded then in youthful days,
When I was wild and gay,
She sighed for met—my wayward heart
Would oft, too oft rebel ;
Her loving tones of mild reproof
Are all remembered well.
My mother's sigh ! It chides me now,
In years now more matured ;
Unmov'd I stood by all the griefs
And sorrows she endured. -
She sighed for me! oh! bitter thought !
When e'er I disobeyed.
Her loving eyes would till with tear +, .
And then for me she prayed.
My mother's sigh! its echo come,
From out my inmost soul ;
Unhusli'd remorse forever makes
That painful echo roll
She sighed for me—unnumbered sigh;—
They all unheeded were ;
At last I broke her loving heart,
And never sighed for her !
Thy mother's sigh! ohi wayward youth,
Who'er perchancelhou art,
Beware—by all that's trde—beware !
Grieve not thy mother's heart.
By all that's true, ere long and oft,
Before thou too shalt die,
Thou% hear (unless in mercy huSled)
The echo of that sigh!
DAVID CROCKETT.
BY JAMES PAUTON
Few• men have reached Congress by a
stranger rdad than the eccentric individual
- nameil at the head or this article. Some
men have talked, others have written, others
have fought themselves Into Congress; but
David Crockettshot himself thither. It was
his Vjonderful skill as a marksman, and his
dank as a bear hunter, which made him so
popilar in his district that when he chose to
run for office he usually distanced all com
petitors. He could shoot a humming bird on
the wing with a single ball. Seated upon
the margin of a river, he would aim at a fish,
and as soon .as the crack of his rifle was
heard, one of the little inmates of the stream
would be seen struggling on the surface. He
used to speak of battered old rifle in words
like these :
"She's a mighty rough, old piece, but I
love her; for sli and I have seen hard times.
She mighty seldom tells me a lie. If I hold
her right she always sends the ball where I
tell her."
Shooting was not his only qualification.
He had other gifts and gracis calculated to
win the favor • ofla frontier population ; al
though it was his matchless skill with the
rifle that first dreti attention to him. He
was an abundant relator of comic anecdotes,
and an utterer of those eccentric remarks
which are passed from mouth to mouth, and
form a large part of thecommon stock of wit
in a country place. Forty or fifty years ago,
almost every newspaper that appeared had a
story in it in some odd corner, in which the
name of David Crockett figured.
He was born in East Tennessee, the ,
116. b. <roam <4 dela.
Crockett, who by turns was a farmer, miller
and tavern keeper. This John Crockett was
the son of an emigrant from the North of
Ireland, who, after fighting with noted cour
age through the Revolutionary war, settled
in East Tennessee.' There he and his 'wife
were murdered by the Creek • Indians ; one
of his sons was wounded; another was ear-
ried into captivity, and remained a prisoner
with the Indians seventeen years. John
Crockett escaped, grew up, and in due' time
became the father of the famous David.
When the ho 7 became seven years old, his
father met with a misfortune which reduced
him to utter poverty. A freshet swept away
a new mill in which he had invested the
savings of a lifetime. It wascarried off bodi
ly, leaving not a wreck behind. The unfor-
Innate proprietor then removed to another
county, and opened a small tavern not far
from the present city of Knoxville.
It happened one evening when David was
twelve years of age, that an old Dutchman,
a drover, put up at his father's tavern, hav
ing With him a drove of cattle. To this
Dutchman John Crockett hired his son as a
drover's boy, with' the understanding that he
was to help drive the cattle as far as - Rich
mond and then return. Away he went and
was soon in high favor with the Dutchman,
front whom he learned those Dutch anec
doteslind the Dutch brogue which he after
wards employed with so much effect. He
liked his manner very well, but atter travel
ing for some weeks with the cattle, he be
came homesick, ran away, joined,a wagoner
bound for East Tennessee, and so reached
home again.
The [Vert winter his lather sent him to
school for the first time in his life ; but be
fere he had been there a week, be had a fight
with one of the seholars,,in which he gained
the victory and heat his antagonist so severe
ly petite dare not show himself at school
again. So he played truant for several days;
but discovering that his father had found
him out, he thought it p rudent to beat a re
treat, and hired himse lfto another drover
who was going to Virginia. Many were his
adventures. ,His employer. after - ill-treating
him frivarions ways, turned him adrift hun
dieds-of miles from - home with only four dol
lars. Then he joined a wagoner once more,
and soon found himself at Baltimore, where, •
for the first time in his life he saw a ship.
. As ho stood on the dock, gazing at the
vessel with open eyes and mouth,bowildered
at the.sight, one of the sailors accosted him
and asked hint if he would not like to go to
Liverpool " Forgetting his eugagetnent with
the wagoner, lie
. joyibily consented, • and
rushed GS to the wagon to get his clothes,al
though ten minutes before he did not know
that there was such a thing as a ship in the
world. The - Wagoner positively refused to
let himgo. -Watching his chances , however,
he bundled up _his Crothes, and started for
the but it so chanced that in turning
the corner of a crowded street, he came full
upon his Master, who collared him and took
bun back.
Leaving his wagoner soon after, he start
ed penniless, to work his way home. First.
he worked a while •es a laborer, and, with
the Eimer thus earned, he traveled a few
miles towards East Tennessee. When his
money was gone he would step and work
again - for the first farmer who wanted him.
°nee he bound himself as an apprentice too
haLteF, fcir four years, and worked for a few
months, aria ,the hatter failed, and he was
homeiese once maze. At length, after two
years' absence, ohe winter evening, he 'en
tered his father's tavern with his bundle, and
asked permission to sit down and rest. No
ow, knew him. fits father, a somewhat in
firm old man, was waiting upon his guests ;
his mother Was cooking supper ; and his sis
ter was Worithig about the house. Ile re
mained silent Kir an hour,when,supper toeing
ready, he was asked to come to the table,
where, the light 'ailing upon his face, his
sister recognized . him. The truant bad a
joyful welcome, and kept the family late, re
lating his adventures.
Ile now sat to work in earnest, to assist
his old father, to whom ho had not given
much comfort hitherto. By six months' hard
work he paid his father's debts, which had
caused the old man much anxiety. Then he
worked six months more to cancel a note of
thirty dollars' whie.h• - his father had given,
and brought it to his father as a present.
Next, ho went to work for sundry other
months until be had provided himself with a
supply of decent clothing. Ile was now
nearly twenty years' of age; and being much
mortified with his inability to read and write,
he made a bargain with a Quaker school
master, agreeing to work two days fer every
three that he attandedhis school. llepicked
up knowledge rapidly, and after six months
of this arrangement,he could read, write and
cipher sufficiently well for the ordinary pur
poses of life on the frontier.
He now began to be extremely suscepti
ble to the charms of the female sex. Mar
riageable girls were as scarce on the frontier
then as they now are in some parts ot Cali
fornia and Oregon. Accordingly, a young
fellow had to be prompt both st popping the
question and in Milling his engagement.
The first girl with whom he was smit
ten was ayoung relative of his school
master, but while be was courting her with
the vigor and warmth of a backwoodsman,
and flattering himself that his passion was
returned, a wealthy suitor came along, and
stowed hai r, before his eyes. He soon
fell in loVe' ,at a bill, end, before the
e n s= woo ished, be was engaged-to be
, and a day was appo inted for him to
announce the fact to the gir l's parents.
On the appointed day he started for the
young lady s .abcide, but falling in oa - the
way with a gay party, he spent the whole
night in • frolic ; and when,' the next moni
ed the house of his lady love,
11= P ur aa

ant. serecoteredhilspirits,however,went
to the Wedding, and danced all night, the
merriest of the merry:
He was soon In love again, over head and
ears, - and in due time was happily married. -
H lived a while with his wife's mother,
worked a little, and hunted a great deal, for
his subsistence. After two years, he set up
his own cabin on Elk River, where he culti
vated a few acres for his bread, and ranged
the forest for his meat.
The Creek war, in 1813, summoned the
yoeman of Tennessee to arms under General
Jackson. No young man, of them all was
prompter to take the field than David Crock
ett. Ile was in most of the' principal en
gagements tinder General Jackson, and if ho
obtained leave of absence, he soon tired of
the monotony of home, and was off again to
the army. He was the life of the camp. His
Dutch anecdotes, his bear stories, his won
derful shooting, his fortitude and courage
made him a universal favorite.
The war over, he removed his little family
one hundred and fifty miles to the West and
settled in the midst of a wilderness 40 miles
distant from the nearest settlement. There
he built his cabin, due his well, cleared his
corn-field, and•lived the life of a pioneer in
Its perfection. His skill and courage in hunt
ing the deer, the panther and the bear, were
wonderful indeed ; and I only wish the short
est of his bear stories were too long to be
inserted here. -
Years pissed on. The country filled up
with settlers. The fame of David Crockett
as a hunter, story teller and general good
fellow spread tar and wide,and at last he found
himself elected to the Legislature. So popu
lar was be in the Legislature, that in 1824 he
was set up as an anti-tariff candidate for
Congress and was only beaten by two votes
in a district of seventeen counties. At the
next election lie was returned by the extra
ordinary majority of twenty-seven hundred
votes.
At Washington, he was a conspicuous per
sonage, for his fame had preceded him, and
he was perhaps the only genuine pioneer
and backwoodsman that ever sat in Congress.
He was a member four years, and would, no
doubt, have been again elected, if he had
not differed with his old commander, Fred
dentjackson, on removing the Cherokees.
He ound, at the next election, that Andrew
Jackson was too strong for him. He was de
feated, and soon after, joined in the move
ment, by General Houston, which was de
signed to sever Texas from Mexico, and an
nex it to the United States.
His exploits in Texas were as romantic as
any which have been related. Ile was
caught at length, - -.in a fort garrisoned by a
hundred and forty Texans, and when it was
invested by a Mexican Army of two thous
and. Never was a place more valiantly de-'
fended. After ten• days of conflict and starv
ation, every man of the garrison had per
!shed except six, one of whom was Colonel
Crockett. These six heroes then surrendered
to Santa Anna, the dastardly traitor and
coward, who commanded the Mexican army.
This base wretch, so far from being touched
by the heroism of Col. Crockett, ordered him
to be murdered, and the gallant pioneer fell
pierced with ddozen swords.
This Is the merest outline of a life so full
of strange and romantic adventure that if
it could be fully and truly written would at
tract
intuit a io n n vteos o at tex e i r on u . and
be
a pe a rm b nen c t
worthy the pen of an Irving or a Cooper.

A MOTHER'S INFLUENCE.
Mother's Manners Mould the Child.
There is no disputing this fact—it shines
in the face of everylittle . child. The coarse,
bawling, scolding woman will .have -coarse
vicious, bawling, fighting children.
She who cries on every occasion, I'll box
your ears—l'll slap your jaws—l'll break
your neck, is known as thoroughly-through
her children as if her unwomanly .man
ner's were openly displayed in the public
streets.
These remarks were suggested by the con
versation in a street car—that great institu
tion for the students of' men and manners— _
between a friend and alschoolmaster. Our
teacher was caustic, mirthful and sharp. His
wit flashed like the polished edge of a dia
mond, and kept the ear in a roar.
The entire community of insiders—and
whoever is intimate - with one of these con
veyances can form a pretty good idea of our
numbers, inclusive of the 'one more' so well
known to the fraternity7turned their heads,
eyes and ears one way, and finally our
teacher said—"l can always tell the mother
by the boy. The urchin who draws back
with doubled fist and lunges at his playmate,
has a very questionable mother. She may
teed him and clothe him, cram him with
sweetmeats, coax him with promises, but if
she gets nand she fights. •
"She will pull him by the jacket ; stie will
give him a knock in the back ; she will drag
him by the hair; she will call him all sorts
of wicked names, while passion plays over
her red face in lambent flames that curl
and writhe out at the corners of her red
eyes.
"And we never see the courteous little
fellow with &wood' locks and gentle man
ner—in whom delicacy does not detract
from courage or manliness, but we say that
boy's mother is a true lady. Her words and
' ways are soft, loving and quiet. If she ge
proves, herlanguage is 'my son'—not
little wretch—yon plague of my life—you
torment—you scamp!'
"She hovers,before him as a pillar of light
before the wandering Israelites, and her
beams are reflected into his face. To him
the word mother is synonymous with every
thing that is pure, sweet and beautiful, Is he
an artist? In after-life that which with the
holy radiance shines on his canvas will be
the mother's face. Whoever flits across hls
path with sunny smiles and soft, low voice
will bring 'mother's image', freshly to his
heart 'She is like my mother, will be the
'highest weed of his praise. Not even when
the hair turns silver and eye grows dim will
the majesty of that life and presence desert
him.
"But the ruffian mother—alas, hat there
are such—will dim the ruffian character of
the man. Ile in turn will become a merci
less tyrant, with a tongue sharper than a two
edged sword, and remembering the brawling
and cuffing, seek some meek, gentle victim
for the sacrifice, with the condition that he I
shall be master. And master he is for a few
sad years, when he wears a widower's weed
till lie finds a victim number two."
We wonder not that there so many awk
ward, ungainly men in society—they have
all been trained by women who knew not
nor cared for the holy nature of their trust.
They had been made hitter to the heart's
core, and that bitterness will find vent and
lodgment somewhere. Strike the infant in
anger and he will, if he cannot reach you,
vent his passion by beating the door, the
chair or any inanimate thing within reach.
Strike him repeatedly, and by the time he

TnosE familiar with the "handwrite" of
the gentleman named will appreaate the
following incident, reported by "Agate," In
a Washington letter:
"We have recently had a matrimonial
warning to bad writers. General Este got
married—late bat well. With pardonable
modesty, he sought to have the announce
ment in the morning papers free from titles,
and so wrote it himself. It read, at such a
time and by such a parson, "George Peabody
Este," to so and so. The wretched printers
couldn't conceive of a man in Washington
without a title of some sort, and as the wri
ting was had anyway, made the mestnaittral
mistake in the world—supposed
Este to be
Esq., and printed it accordingly. - The
friends of the fair bride were horrified the
next morning at seeing that, instead of Mar
rying the gallant anti handsome Cieneral
Este, she had been united with some un
known George Peabody, Esq. The Repub
lican said so—the Chronicle said so--even.
the Intelligencer, which is always semi-ofil
cial or nothing, said so. It must be so."
A FAUMBll . emplo3red a green and recently
arrived importation from the Emerald Isle to
plough. John had never seen a plow. Ms'
master did not take that into the account
sufficiently. "John,";said be, after starting
the plough for him,'"do yon see that' red
heifer yonder? Plough directly for her, arid
lay out yonder land." Supposing that John
would use common sense, ?Mien him to his
own reflection and labor, :and betook ' his
steps horaeward. At the close of the day,
not bearing- from John, ho repaired to the
field, and found he had literally ploug.hed
for the red , heifbr all day, fbr he had been
chasing the poor thing an over the field, and
was busy still in his very dutiftil cattploy

field was marked with the furrows in OM

Wonders at home by familiarity cease to
excite astonishment, and hence it happens
that many know but little abort "the house
we live in"—the human body. We look up
on the house from the outside, jest as a - whole
or unit, never thinking of the many rooms
and passages in the ingenious internal ar
rangements, or the wonderful structure of
the man, the harmony and adaptation of all
his parts.
In the human skeleton, elxiut • the time of
maturity are 105 bones.
The muscles are about 500 in number.
The length of the alimentary canal is about
32 feet.
The amount of blood in adults averages SO
pounds, or full one-fifth of the entire weight.
The heart is 6 inches in length and 4 Inch
es in diameter, and beats 70 times a minute,
4,200 times per hour, 100,800 times per dsy,
35,772,000 per year, 2,565,440,000 to three
lcore and ten, and at each beat two and a
half. ounces of blood are thrown out of it, and
173 ounces per minute, 656 pounds per dsy.
All the blood in the body passes through the
heart in three minutes. This little organ, by
its ceaseless industry,
"In the allotted span
' The Psalmist garb to man,"
lifts the enormous• weight of 370,700,200
tons.
The lungs will contain about one gallon of
air at their usual degree of inflation. We
breathe, on an average, 1,200 times per hour,
inhale 000 gallons of air. 24,400 gallons per
day. The aggregate surface of the air cells'
of the lungs exceeds 20,000 square inches, an
area very nearly equal to the floor of a room
twelve feet square.
The average weight of the brain cif an
adult male is :3 pounds and S ounces; of a
female, 2 pounds and 4 ounces. The nerves .;
are all connected with it directly, or by the
spinal marrow. These nerves, together with
their branches and' ramifications, probably
exceed 10,000,000 in number, forming a
"bodyguard" outnumbering by far the great
est army ever marshalled.
The skin is composed of three layers and
varies from one-fourth to one-eighth of an
Inch la thickness. Its average area in an
adult is estimated to be 2,000 square inches.
The atmospheric pressure being about 14
pounds to the square inch, a pet-son of medi-
JIM size is subject to a pressure of 40,000 lbs.

Each square inch -of skin contains 3,500
sweating tubes, or prespiratory pores, each
of which may be likened to a little drain tile
one-fourth of an inch long, making an aggre
gate length on the entire surface of the body
of 101,160 feet, or a tile-ditch for draining the
body almost 40 miles long.

Influence upon the beauty and duration of
the second. The youngest should accord
ingly be made to take care of ,them. All
that is necessary is to brush them several
times a day with a little ordinary soap or
magnesia and water.
After eating, the particles of food should
be carefully removed from the teeth by
means of a toothpick of quill or wood, but
never of metal, and by a thread passed now
and then between the teeth. C.unpfiorated
and acid tooth powders are injurious both to
the enamel and the gums, and if employed,
every particle should be removed from the
- mouth by carefully rinsing. The habit
which some ladies have of using a bit of lem
on, though it may whiten the teeth and give
temporary firmness and color to the glans,
is fatal to the enamel, as are all acids.
No one, young or old, should turn their
jaws into nut crackers ; and it is even dan
gerous for women to bite ott, as they often
do, the ends of the thread in sewing. It is
not Safe to bring very hot food or drink, es
pecially if immediately followed anything
cold, in contact with the teeth.
PERSUMHON BETTER THAN FoncE.—Deal
gently with', those who stray. Draw them
back by love and persuasion. A kiss is worth
alhousand kicks. A kind word is more val
uable to the lost than a mine of gold. Think
of this, and be ou your guard, ye who would
chase to the grave an erring. brother. We
must study the gentlest manner and softest
seasons of address; our folviee must not fall like
a violent storm, bearing down and making
those to droop whom it is intended to cher
ish and refresh. It must descend as the dew
on the tender herb, or like melting flakes of
snow ; the softer it falls the longer it dwells
upon and the deeper it sinks into the mind.
If there are a few who have the humility to
receive advice as they ought, it Is uti&ri be.
,cause there are a few who have the discre

can qualify the harshness and bitterness of
reproof, against which human nature is apt
to revolt. To probe the wound to the bot
tom, with all the boldness and resolution of
a good spiritual surgeon, and yet with all tti.;)
delicacy and tenderness of a friend, requires
a very dexterous and mAsterly hand. An
-affable deportment and complacency of be
hilyiogr will disarm the most obstinate,
wlereas, if, instead of calmly pointing out
their mistakes, we break out into unseemly
sallies of passion, we cease to have any influ
ence.
Tlostsix GIRLB.—"How did that homely
woman contrive to get married?" is not un
frequently remarked of some good domesticm,
creature whom her husband regards as the •
apple of his eye, and in whose plaid face he
sees something better than beauty. The
truth is that most men prefer homeliness and
amiability to beauty and caprice. It is a
noteworthy fact that homely girls generally
get better husbands than fall to the lot of
their fairer sisters. Men who are caught
merely by a pretty face and figure, do not, as
a rule, amount to much. The practical,use

A WOMAN'EI SEUMON.—My' friends, there
are three things I wonder at: First, that
children should be so foolish as to throw up
stones and clubs into fruit trees to knock down
the fruit; If they would let it alone it would
fall itself. Second, that men should be so
foolish and•even so wicked as to go to war
and kill one another; if they would only let
one another alone, they would die of them
selves. Third, that young men should be so
unwise as to go after the young women ; if
they would only stay at home, the young
women would come after them.
