Twenty-two years nine° they were tit st Intro
duced into this country from Clermany, during
which time they have undoubtedly performed
more cures, and benetitted 'suffering humanity
to a greater extent, then atty other remedies
known to-the public.
These remedies will effectually cure Liver Com
plaint, Jaundice, - Dyspepsia, Chronic
or Nervous Debility, "Li Chronic Diarrhoea,
Diseases of the Kid- r 'ley,' and all
dlseaa
es arising from a die- or dered Liver,
Stomach, or Intestines.

Remitting from any can whatever: Proctre
t lon of the System, Induced by Severe
Entine, ffnulships, Expornre,
Fevers, Etc.
There Is no medicine extant equal to these
remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor is I*-
parted to the whole system, the appetite is
strengthened, food Is enjoyed, • the stomach di
gests promptly, the blood is purified, the com
tlexion becomes sound and healthy, the yellow
inge is eradicated from the eves, 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 Went, with all
its attendant Ills, will find in the use 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 liappiners to their remaining years.
It Is a welrestablLaited fact that fully one-half
of the female portion of our population
aro seldom in the en- I Joyment, oi good
health ; .4 or, to use 1 their own expres
sion "never t eel well." They are lan
guid, devoid of all energy, extremely nervous,
and have no appetite.
To this clasq of persons the BITTERS, or the
TONIC, Is especially recommended:
Weak dad delicate children are made strong
by the use of tither of these remedies. They
will cure every case of MAftlifiSiflTS, without
fail. Thousands of certificates have accumula
ted in the hands of the proprietor, but apace
will allow of but few. These, it will beobserved,

A QUAKER WEDDING
EMI
[From the New York Evening Mull.)
A Quaker wedding is a novelty to the
world's people, and as such 'we-present our
readers with a detailed description of, one
which recently took place in the town of
Harrison, Westchester county:
Last Tuesddy evening, at the residence of
Friend John Scaman,in Harrison,Mr. Eugene
V. Lorton, of this city, married himself to
Miss Amy •T. 'Mosher, of Greenwich Conn:
The relatives of the young Friends who
were to be married came together from all
parts of the compass, even from the towns of
New Jersey, the hills of Oregon county, the
city of New York, Nev. - England, and West
chester county. There was s plentitSl
sprinkling of the world's people too—young
ladies in Pompadour waists, and young men
in swallow-tailed coats and fancy neckties.
But to all intents and purposes the wedding
was of Quaker origin, conduct, and conclu
sion.
Arriving at the mansion, the guests were
ushereil into the parlors, where bright fires
of wood were blazing in the great open fire
place. The young people assembled In the
back parlor, while the near relatives and aged
Friends were comfortably seated in the front
parlor.
The ceremony was to take place at eight
o'clock in the evening. The Friends, in their
peculiar . -and well-known costumes, were
seated in the front parlor, in solemn silence.
The gentlemen were, for the most part,
dressed in black, with white neckties; while
the ladies wort small lace caps with little
peaked crowns, and lace under handkerchiefs.
The prevailing colors of their dresses were
brown, a deep, rich mulberry, and black.
Whenever a Friend entered the room, he or
she shook hands with each one present, salut
ing them by their given names.
Beneath the mirror in the front parlor a
sofa had been placed for the bride and groom,
and upon either side were chairs for the best
man and woman. The Friends and rela
tives being assembled, the best man and wo
man entered the back parlor, followed by the
bridal pair. They walked the entire length
of the parlors, and amid a profound silence
took the seats designed for them. For aboilt
five minutes, during which a silent prayer is
• summed to have been offered, no one spoke
or moved. The bride sat like a statue, with
downcast eyes, but blushing perceptibly.
The whole scene appeared more like a tab
leau than• an ordinary wedding ceremony.
After enduring the silence as long as seemed
desirable, the bridegroom and the bride
arose, taking each other by the right hand,
when the bridegroom said :
"In the presence of the Lord • and these
people, I take thee. Amy, to be my wife,
promising, by the Divine 'assistance, to be
unto thee a loving and faithful husband until
death cloth part us."
Then Amy said the same words to Eugene,
stumbling a little at the word "husband."
At the conclusion of this part of the ceremo
ny the company was again seated, and si
lence reigned profound. The bride was
dressed after the ordinary, fashion, in a white
cashmere, en train, trimmed with white sat
in, pompadour waist, lace under waist, veil,
orange flowers, ‘tc:
During the silence succeeding the ceremo
ny an opportunity was offered for any of the
Friends to address the couple if the spirit
moved. After waiting for some time a quiet,
motherly-looking lady, made the following
ejaculation :
"This is indeed a very solemn ceremony,
and we all need the Divine assistance in liv
ing up to its requirements."
Another period of silence, and the bride
groom arose and kissed the bride, whereup
on the best man and woman did the same
thing.
At this stage of the proceedings the best
man, with an assistant, brought a small table
into the room, upon which was a marriage
certificate in the shape ota scroll, a pen, and
an ink-stand, and placed it In front of the
bridegroom. He signed his name to the con
tract, and then the bride assumed for the
first time the name of her husband. Imme
diately' after the signatures had been affixed
to the document a gentleman took the certi
ficate, and read it to the company, as fol
lows :
"Wrimizss, Eugene, of the city, county,
and State of New York, (son of —, and
—, his wife,) and Amy, (daughter of —,
and —, his wife,) of Greenwich, Fairfield
county, State of Connecticut, having declared
their intention of marriage with each other,
and having obtained the consent of their
parents ;
Now rtmsr. are to certify to whom it may
concern, that for the full accomplishment of
their said intentions this tenth day of the
eleventh month of the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight,
they, the said Eugene and Amy, ap
peared in a meeting held at the house of
John Seaman , of garrison, and the said Eu
gene
taking the said Amy by the hand, did
on this solemn occasion openly _declare that
he took her, the said Amy, to be wife,
promising with Divine assistance to be unto
her a loving husband until death should sep
arate them; and then the said Amy did in
like manner declare that she took the said
Eugene to be her husband, promising, with
Divine assistance, to be -unto him a loving
and faithful wife until death should separate
them. •
And moreover, they, the said Amy and
Eugene (she, according - to the custom of
marriage, assenting the name of -her hus
band) did, as Thither condruiation thereof,
them and there to timse presents set their
hands. ECOENE
Ars —.
And we, whose names are also hereunto
subseribed,being present at the solemnization
of the said „marriage and subscription, have
as witnesses thereunto set our hands the day
and year above written
And senres of other..
The contract having been stgned and read
t was now taken to the back parlor, where
it retrained throughout the evening, during
which time the signatures of all who wit
nessed the marriage tare affixed. The peo
ple now pressed toward the newly-married
pair, the nearest relatives going first, and
others followed in their appropriate order.
As the uncles and elderly geritlemen relatives
kissed the bride they slipped a fifty-dollar
bill into her band, as part payment for the
kiss!• Immediately after the congratulittions
the dining•room was thrown open, and the
wedding supper announced. " This was much
like that at any oTher wedding, only the
bridal party sat at an elevated table, anti the
bridal cake was not cut. '
The whole ceremony consumed about an
hour. , Between filly and sixty signatures of
the relatives of •the bride and bridegroom
were appended to the patchment. This is a
good custom, and serves, to call to mind each
one present at the wedding. It is a little
curious that the marriage certificate has to
be procured in Philadelphia. It is afforded
at the reasonable price of five dollars. Anew
johlpen and case is always purchased for
the signing of the contract. This may be
presented bythe husband to his wife.
Before the final performance of the cere
mony several rehearsals are gone through in
private.
The . Friends receive presents like other
people, but no cards ate issued. Besidas the
usual presents of 311cent-it* jewels, laces,
&C., they give' bottsebold goods, such as
blankets, counterpanes, linen, etc .These are
displayed with the zest.

3lv DEAR Gums :—Body and mind both
require rest and relaxation al. intervals, in
order to maintain their full vigor. A change
of employment will often afford rest, when
entire inactivity would not. This is, especi
ally true with nervous, restless minds. Pub
lic speakers, writers, clergymen, &e., who
astonish the world with their powers of ac
complishment, are examples of this. Success
would not attend them if they did not un
bend occasionally to seek rest in change of
occupation and healthful amusements.
. _
The gambbla of animals, insects and birds,
remind ni of the innocence of play.
A cheery laugh helps digestion, alai/bright
ens those that hear it. A halt hour's exer
cise in the gymnasium is a rest to muscles
overtaxed by one position; and any out of
door employment, to those - confined to seden
tart, habits to the house, is an amazing rest.
I once heard an esteemedcler4man say that
he cured himself of an alarming attack of
dyspepsia and hypochondria by sawing wood
daily for about six weeks I
Cheerful society and argumentative con
versation brace and invigorate a debilitated
mind. Gamei of chess and hickgammonare
a real tonic to some ; music is at once exhil
aration and rest to others, and writing a let
ter from writing a sermon . ..or editorial.
Parents and husbands do not know they
are sapping the vital energies when they
discountenance all recreation, and would con
fine themselves and families to ono weary
round of toil.
Home amusements, pleasant surprises, ma
terial for a happy evening, should be as care
fully studied arid planned for as any depart
ment of labor. Games upon the chessboard,
some new puzzle or dissect, acting charades
and tableaus, the most delightful of all, va
ried with some entertaining reading, would
liven many a• tired, discouraged household,
and give new zest and courage for the bur
dens of another day.
Upon the daughters of a home falls a large
share of obligation and privilege in this re
spect. Whether there shall be a happreven
ing at home, or an exciting one at the dance
or billiard table, may be very much as the
sisters say. Of course, I do not mean in
words, but as you shall have strength and
tact and influence to control.
See to it, my dear girls, that you are not
casting shadows to (harken both your own
path and that of those you love, by Indiffer
ence, thoughtlessness and selfishness on this
subject; and when you go forth into new
homes resolve that there shall be play as
well as work, if you would accomplish much,
have fine spirits and firm health. Yours for
play and work too. T. S. IT.
Strange itoninuce.
"Evelyn," the New Orleans correspondent
of the Mobile Sunday Times, writes : Some
thing like two years ago young 3i the
son of one of the wealthiest men in Lou —,
isia
na, fell deeply in love With a young lady of
a neighboring parish. .His love was returned
with warmth, and they were engaged. But
now F an obstacle came In .the way. M.'s
father opposed the match. For some time
he kept this a secret from his. fiancee, and
meanwhile she was making preparations for
the marriage. She was an orphan, but had
been left a small property, which, valuable
before the war, brought her but little over
$3,000. This she expended upon her trous
seau, feeling that, as her intended husband
Was rich, she had no necessity for saving,.
and that she would make her appearance
worthy of their station. As the time drew
near when they were to be united, Di
seemed to change toward her, and grew
cool and serious. In vain she tried, with all
the arts which love could suggest, to learn
the secret' of the change, but he did not con
fide in her, and she could only waitand won
der, At last the time fixed for the ceremony
came, and M— was forced to make a
Confession. Be said his father forbade the
match, that he had supposed her an heiress
when he engaged himself to her, and now
he could not marry her against his dear
father's •will. The shock which thisgare the
young girl can be imaeined. Naturally, one
will say that she should have despised him,
and Jul herself fortunate in making her es
cape ; but on the contrary, it was then only
that she felt how much she loved him. She
had given herself without reserve, and, so tar
as she was concerned, she was his forever.
For the next year and a half she was in a
convent, entirely excluded from the world ;
but some two months ago she was persuaded
to come to this city, and remained here for
some two hr three weeks. One day she re
ceived
a letter which seemed to disturb her,
and on going to her room later — , a friend
found her on her knees praying for the man
who had deserted her. He was very sick in
the country, and begged her to come to him.
On that very day father died, and
the Amerat notice was handed to her as she
stepped into the carriage to go to the ears.
For a Week nothing was heard from tier, hut
soon we got the finale of the romance. The
girl had cone immediately to bed
side, and found him-very ill, attended by his
two sisters. He told her that he was dying;
anti now that his fattier was gone; wished to
Make her his wife. They were married. A
will "was made by him giving her one half of
his large fortune, the other half to his two
sisters, and the next day he followed his lath
er from earth. Contrary to the advice of her
friends, the young maiden widow declared
her intention of retiring to the 'consent for
life.

Horrible Murder of et Young Wife.
A. most horrible murder was committed on
Saturday, the 17th inst., in the county of Ma
con, in the neighborhood of Salem Church,
Alabama. For the act to be appreciated in
all its horror, it will be necessary to write
a little history. Some time last year, a youth
of about eighteen years of age, named Wil
liam Duke, Won the heart of a girl about
sixteen, by the name of Mary Low. Her faint
ly objected to their marriage, but, as is often:
the case under such circumstances, they ran
away and were married. Their happiness
was short-lived. Harsh treatment from the
young husband and from his family
toward the young wife, who had disregarded
aml forsaken her family to
,join her aestiny
,with his, soon followed the honevmoon-*But
the young coame went to keeping house,
and, acting their part in the customs of socie
ty, invited the circuit preacher at his previ
ous visit to the church near by, to dine with
them on that fatal day.
Neither husband nor wife attended church
that day ; but the minister, In fulfillment of
his promiseovent to the house, notwithstand
ing. On entering the door, instead of a
pleasant greeting and a rendering of excuses
for,,absence from church, what a sight met
his eyes. The young wife suspended by the
neck with a cord from one of the joists of
the house, her body cold and stiff. Chairs
and tables wereoverturned, the bed rumpled,
and every evidence that there had been a
scuffle in the room.' Not a sign of life in
the house, except the breathing of the sleep
ing babe, all innocent of the irreparable loss
to itself and of the terrible tragedy that had
just been enacted. The preacher immediate
ly cut the cord, and calling in the passers-by,
the body was examined. The clothing was
badly torn, and unmistakeable marks. of fin
gers and finger nails were found upon the
neck and shoulders. The unfortunate. wo
man had either been strangled by the hand
of some • devilish villain or else -forcibly
hanged.
The husband had been absent for two days,
but returned on Saturday , night : The wife's
family refuse to allow him to see her dead
body.—Excluinge.

A DOKESTIC STORY.—An editor says: An
aunt of ours concluded to try the effect of a
pleasant smile and a kind word upon her
husband when he returned from hie work
She had read how a home should be pleas
ant and the wife should always meet her
husband with •a joyful smile. The success
she had is hest given in the shape •of a dia
logue. •
Enter husband, almost exhausted, and very
hungry withal, throws his hat on the floor
and drops heavily into a seat. Wife prepar
ing tea looks up with a smile, and is so glad
to seo him.
Wite—"Well, my dear, it is so nice to hare
you here at meal time." A long smile.
Husband—" Yes, I suppose so."
Wife—" How has your bulineis prospered
to-day?" Another smile. -
Husband—" About so•so."
Wife—" Come my dear, supper is ready ;
let me draw your chair." Another smile.
Husband, grimy—"l am too tired to stir.
Wait till I warm my feet.'_
Wife—"Do as you chooSe, my dear" An
other sweet snide.
Husband—" Look o' herd, old woman: be-
fore any more hiss is made about it, I should
like to kiiow what in thunder you are grin
ning at.'
Aunt sighed and relinquished her sweet
smiles from that date. Uncle Jacob was not
one of the romantic sort, and didn't under
stand such things.
A Lear YEAri, Sy:max.—Miss M. had
conceived a passion for Mr. W. It was not
reciprocated. Mr. W.'s coldness had driven
her to desperation, which, among young
ladies, means a resort to strategy to accom
plish what they cannot do by fair means.
The young lady, presuming upon her leap
year privileges, and upon W.'s bullet in spir
itualism, and his respect for the name of his
deceased mother, employed a celebrated me
dium and bad a meeting arranged to which
Mr. W. was invited. On the evening pro
posed, the parties were present, and the spir
its in glee. The shade of Mr. W.'s mother
appeared and, according to , introductions,
discoursed eloquently' upon the virtues of
Miss M., and finally asked W. to clasp her
hand. In obedience to this voice from tbe
grave ho did so, not, however, without
Arial= ; and-while in- this position, to his
horror, the sepulchral voice pronounced the
marriage ceremony, When through, the
young man was conjured in the same tone to
regard the contract as ,hinding as though it
had been solemnized before an earthly tribu
nal. W. could'nt see it, and bolted minus his
overcoat and hat. Thu 4 grief came over the
young lady's leap-year project.

My Dear Sir :—I have read your letter to
Mr.,Sinith upon the proposed nomination of

Grant's career are just, but what will you do?
You cannot get it or anything else concern

And why? Because both sides are courting
him for the Presidency, and so the truth
