Philadelphia. Pa:,
Twenty-two yeah since they were first Intro
duced into this country from Germany, during
which time they have undoubtedly performed
more cure•, and benefited suffering humanity
to a greater extent, than any other remedies
known to the public.
These remedies will etrectually cure Liver COM.
plaint, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Chronic,
or Nervous Delailty, 1, 11 Chronic Diarrhea,
Diseases of the K. Id- r nays and all diseas
es arising from a dim- ordered Liver,
Stomach, or Intestines.
DEBILITY.
Remelting from any range whatever; Proatra
tton Of the System, Induced by Severe
Labor, Hardships, Exposure,
Fevers, Etc.
There is no medicine extant equal to these
remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor is im
parted to the whole system, the appetite la
strengthened, food is enjoyed, the stomach di
gests promptly, the blood is purified, the coin
plexiott becomes sound and healthy, the yel.ow
tinge is eradicated from the eves, u bloom Is
given to the cheeks, and the weak and nervous
invalid becomes a strong and healthy being.
Persons advaneedin life, and feeling the hand.
of time weighing heavily (won them, with all
its attendant Ills, will find in the use of this
BITTERS, or the TONIC, an elixir that will in
stil new life Intotbeir veins, restore in a meas
ure the energy and ardor of more youthful days,
build np their shrunken forms and give health
and happiness to their remaining years.

guld, devoid of all energy, extremely nervous,
and hive no appetite.
Teo this clam of persons the BITTERS. or the
TONIC. Is especially recommended.
Weak and delicate children are made strong
by the use of c ither of there remedies. They
will cure every ease of MARAMMILTI4, without

for Liver Complaint, It Is a safe and valuable

To bees that gather honey.

The quail pipesloud and clear,
The orchard hides beyond its bough
The home he loves so dear;
The gray old harp doois unfold

The sweetest rose on all his lands,—

SOLVING' THE GHOST QUESTION.
About the year 18—, business had called
me to .a remote part of B— county, Tennes
see, and I was staying at the house of a Mr.
Rtkbert. The family consisted of Mr. Ruben
and wife, one son and two daughters. The
son's name was Austin . ; he was about twenty
years of age, and seemed to be very intelli
gent. The girls were no less intelligent than
Austin. Adela, the eldest, was about seven
teen, and Julia, the youngest, about fifteen.
Prettier girls never saw. I loved them
both as soon as I had seen them.

We were sitting by a blazing tire, talking
and laughing as lively as if we had been ac
quainted for years, when a sudden noise, as
if some large building was falling, interrupt
ed us.
" Ugh ! Ugh !! Ugh!!!" Said some one, as
if frightened ont of his senses.
All of the family rushed to the door, ex
cept Julia, who sat still, and remarked—
" It is Bill Jenkins running from the ghosts
again.'
Scarcely had the words escaped from her
lips, when in rushed a tall, gawky, awkward,
almost beardless know, puffing and blowing
like a locomoi ice.
"What's the matter?" 'said Mr, Riibert
"Mattel' enough!" said Bill, his eyes look
ing almost as large as the. bottoms of , two
common sized ttiacops. " Out yonder," be
continued, throe ing himself down upon a
chair; "out yonder,i heard a baby a cryin',
and then- somebody a groanite and snutiln';
and I tell ye I jest got away from that"

" You nt edn't laugh, old boss," continued

I turned to Austin, and said—
"Let us accompany him back to the•place

ghost I'M- him."
Austin was silent.
" Will you go," I asked

"Then tell us where it was," said I, "and
if we can hear it, we'll solve it, sure."
" Austin (bait care mart about going', I be

lent-mill now, " that we will en, Mr. Marion,
Ausiin„idela and myself. The moon is now
up, and it would be a pleasant walk for us ;
besides, we might have some real fun."
After some hesitation on Austin's part, this
proposition was accepted. Bill told us where
he had heard the ghost, but would not go
Us.
Off we started. When we came to the
spot, we found that 11111 had knocked down
about twenty pannels of the fence. We had
gone two or three hundred yards, talking
very lively, when we entered - a low, dark
place in the road; the timber was very tall
and thick, which caused it to be darker than
anywhere else. When, Ave advanced a few
paces into this place, our conversation
stopped. Scarcely had we ceased talking.
when—
"800-woo-woo-ugh !" went something near
"What's that," said Austin; halting.
I advanced; and Julia stepped to my side
and said—
" It's Bill's ghost, sure?!
" 800-ho-woo-ugh r came forth again.
I could suppless my laughter no longer.
It proved to be nothing more nor less than a
hog, which- was not sleeping comfortably,
and was thus complianing.
"What is it:" insisted Austin, who had not
yet found out what it was.
Just then we came to the hog-bed, and the
hogs all ran MT frightened as bad as Bill was:
" said Austin, "it's hogs, I'll
swear, that caused Bill so much tanning."
We turned and went hack to the house,
and had a fine laugh at Bill about his ghosts
but Bill would not give up but that his were
real o:;ets,
I Warned that there were but few' persons
in this neighborhood who were not supersti
thins. t,
I wag informed that the place where Bill
had heard the ghost wan really haunted.
Among, other stories that were, told that
nig concerning the place, was one us fol
lows:
•
Some time ago a man was coming through
this place; it was very dark; he heard some
thing by the roadside; turning in the direc
tion of the noise. be-perceived something
white. It looked, he said, like a woman
dressed in white. He spoke to her; she raised
her arm+ above her head, and said—
, " John Kinder, if you will be happy; you
must marry Jane Merton, and have the Ru
bert family at thewedding. Retnember, John
Kinsler!"-
So 83} in 4. She dropped her aims, and as
cended slowly upwards until she was out of
John atterwards married Jane, and' the Ru
[rev family were at the wedding. ,
I expressed a desire to see or hear some
such ghosts, but Austin thought I Vdfuld re
pent of my. wish when I saw them. r .;.(
Bed-time cone, and we retired as the clock
struck twelve;
1 lay awake in bed a long time, thinking
of the incidents of , the day.
I 'thought of Adela and Julia; which I
loved 'best I could not tell.
Nothing else took place Worth relatbag
here during my stay at Mr. Hubert's. , I left
next morning, ' living and loving."
Two years after the above-tnentilined inci
derit took place, I was 'noising through that
part of the country agate, and •of course I
called on Mr. When'.
. .. .
I found that the neighborhood was as su
perstitious as ever. ' , Ale place where Bill
Jenkins had heard the ghost was still haunt- ,'
ed.(. 3luuy things bud' heeu heard ; sights 1.
had been seen—from an Angel to Beelzebub
bitaserf.
I was 'very anxious to cone across one of
the ghosts', and during my stay at, Mr. Itu•
bert's I pa... ? ed through the haunted place at
all 1 times or the night, but saw and heard -
nothing. I finally came to the conclusion
that it was till imagination. - , I.
' One dark night in July I was passing 1
through this place, nud heard something
make a noise in the dry leaves' near me;
turnink towards the noise I beheld some
' thing tluitiooketi. I thought, very much like
a glatk. It !seemed to be the tlgure of a
Woman. There was no waist in her dress,
and it al , yeryking. Mt this I could make
I out, notwithstanding the daritness. i
I stood Mill ici see what she'would do. I
must acknowledge that I did not feel ex
actly cowl just then,butl managed to ap•

Marion," said the ghost, " if you will he 1
happy,you must, marry. Julia Robert. Re
member, Marlon!"
Judge of my surprise and horror when the ,
ghost spread out her Arms and ascended up. I
ward. until site was loSt in the timber I What
could' I' do? Scared as I was, I did not run,
trekking dtiwn'the fence as Bill Jenkins did.
.. I alerted on slowly toward Mr. Rubest's;
after„lhad gone a few paces,' beard a Os
jant roaring behind pie - that continued more
than two minutes. '1 dici4trit look back, for
I did not iiarckabiatt vowing in 144;ot:tel. will:
'another &hest that 'night.
At VI flatly hour I retired. Next !paining,
when I came into the parlor, Julia wit. th em
alone. Wherd entered she greeted me, blubt...
ing and trembling.
Atler I had looked around and convinced
myself that no one was near, I said—
"At last I have seen a ghost."
When I said this, Julia again blushed and
turned her head from me.
" What kind of a ghost was it?" said site.
.1 told her all I had seen, but omitted what
the ghost had said.
Julia told Me that she had seen one just
like it two or three nights before.
"I suppose." add she, " that you have be.
vntne superstitious."
I could not deny, vet Iwould acknowledge
that I was supeNtitious, .
- I implored Julia not to mention it until I
could find nut something more about the
ghost, and she protniseth
I determined to pass through this place
every . night during my stay at Mr. Hubert's,
winch was to continue about two weeks
from this time.
For several nights t heard nothing,nor did
I see anything like a ghost until the night be
fore my departure, when walking along, I be
held toe same ghost, at the same place, stand
ing s about twenty feet from me when 1 first
beheld it. I stopped, and, the ghost said—
" Marion, to-morrow you leave this place,
and you have not asked Julia to be your
wife. Go and ask her at once. Remember,
Marlon !"
Instantly I rushed forward and threw my
arms around the ghost. She shrieked, and
started ; I held fast, and up we went.
:co pen can describe, no tongue can tell;
in fact, no one can imagine my feelings at
this moment.
UP we went. Still I held on to the ghost.
But I was becoming sick of my situation. I
had my whole weight tl hold up, by holding
to the phantom. . .
"Let my down!" Monte(' I. _
. _
" Promise me one thing," said the ghost."
" Promise that you will Ifare the spot as soon
as yOft touch the ground."
"I promise anything, to get from here,"
said I. -
" Let tti.dlown !" she shouted ai loud as I
had.
Down We went. Dut-as we went down I
was very busy trying to rind out something
more about her. I found that she had a large
rope around her, and was drawn up by it. A
loop was made for her feet, !Len one for each
hand ; and she could stand upright with the
greatest ease.
'Just as we touched the ground, I took out
my knife and cut the rope, just above the
head of the ghost.
She shrieked and fell to the grotmd ; I
raised her up.
"Oh!" said she, " Beelzebub will be here
in a moment. See! There he comes now!"
Here she tried to leave me, but I had on
to her. I heard a terrible noise in the dry
leaves just behind me. I looked around, and
something was approaching. As near as I
could discern in the dark, it resembled a very
large man.
It came up -very close to me, and stood still
for la moment ; then it tapped me on the
shoulder, and said in a rough, hoarse voice—
" Come! '.
I pot my hand down to the ground, and
as luck would have it, I put it on a stick
about as large as a man's arm. I snatched
it up and gave "Beelzebub" a blow with it,
which brought him to the ground.
My ghostly companion again shrieke d . and
rem T caught iigr up m my arms, and re
treated as ta.st as my legs could carry- me.
Prel-ently Iran against the fence, and knocked
us much of it down as Bill Jenkins did.
But I did not stop, hut went on and Into the
house.
I sat the - ghost upon a chair, and called
for a light. She here made a great effort to
escape, but all was in vain.
A light was brought; a veil covered her
face, and was with great difficulty that I re
moved it. After a considerable struggle the
veil was removed: and, lo! it Waci JULIA
RUBERT
She shrieked and fell to the, finer, and was
then carried to her room.
JUst here, in came a negro girl, a slave of
Mr. Hubert's, looking as though she was
frightened out of her senses.
• Massa! masa! run in de kitchen right
quick, 'cause Sambo come in der all bloody,
an' a 'bleedin yet; sass he got he head
broke." -
Austin and myself went into the kitchen
to examine Combos head. There was a very
large gash, cot to the bone, just abore his left
temp.e.
To be brief, Julia had employed a negro
man, Sambo, to •ishist her. Be had procured
a long rope, and fastened it around Julia, as
I have already described ; and then climbing
a very large tree, pot the rope through a
fork, and then descended. By this he could
-raise Julia as high as the fork of the iree,
where she would he entirely out of sight to
any person below, owing to the thickness of
the 'timber.
Julia was the ghost that told John Kins-.
ler to marry Jane 3lerton ; and Sambo bad

A Funeral Incident.
Arther Hawley, city miseionary, is some
times called upon to attend tunerals in the
capacity of clergyman, pall-bearer and grave
digger. On Sunday evening he gave an ac
count to the congregation in the Pearl
Street Church of his experience in that line
of duty, which is worth publishing. ' We
will let him tell his own story :
A man, who had been sick, died. He
lived—well, no matter where. The first se
lect man came to me and said—" Mr. Haw
ley, that man is dead; can you see to the
'funeral ?" I told him I would, and liTh„!.
It was on Thursday, a rainy, coldAllsa
greeable day. I started in my buggy for the
house. On arriving there I found the wife
of the dead man and her boy. The corpse
had been put in a coffin furnished by the
town. This was in tl.e room, and I sat down
on one side of it and the woman on the other.
I thought 1-Would talk' to her about the loss
she had met with, and so I commenced to
speak Of her husband.
"Fes, " she interrupted, "he was rt smart
fellow; be was the best man I ever knew to
r .1 ,, c nice mealy potatoes.".
This was somewhat ludicrous, but I kept
on trying to get her attention on the subject
of the death, but every now and then site
would hate something to say about the po
tatoes, or about the skill of her husband as a
tiirmer and producer of crops.
Finally the man engaged by the town came
to take the body to the grave. I proposed that
we should have prayers before having the
house, but just then I heard a big , bull do
that had been eyeing 11% pretty sharply - Com
mence growling,nod told the woman the boy
had" better tie up The dog, for I Was satisfied
he would make a strike for me or the other
man be ore the ceremony was over. rite
boy tied him up, and we went on with the
exercises.
When we were ready to start fOr the grave,
there was only the man and myself to load
up the cuWn, and it was a heavy load I as
sure you.. Finally
we got it into the wave,
and were all ready to go. I told the woman.
that she could ride with me In the buggy.
She said she didn't believe she would go, aet
she CMS atrail slw would soil her dress!
The rain was then coming down tn•torrents,
and the mud was quite de, p. Shy consented
to go at Ise, and after SilD wisficated in the .
buggy I tucked the blatiket all around her at
her request, as she was very. anxious not to
giit her dress wet or muddy.
I asked the boy it he wouldn't ride, and he
xlid he guessed not.; he would run across
hits. and thought he would get there first.
All the way over, , the woman talked of
minting but her dreas—if she should spoil
that, it would lit all day with her!

TELL Yovu 31oTizEtt.—I wonder bow

,young men, who

above all, tell yourmother everything. Never

Si nit:LENT Mut. EsTATE.—A gentleman,
who is rather given to story-telling, relates
the following: " When I was,a young man
I spent several years at the South, residing
for a while at Port Hodson, on the 3lissis
sippi River. A great deal of litigation was
going on there about that time and it was
not always an easy matter to obtain a ,jury.
One day I was summoned to act in thus ca
pacity, and repaired, to Colin to get excused.
On my name being called, I informed his
honor the judge, that I was not a freeholder,
and therefore not qualified to serve. "Where
do you reside?" inquired the judge. " I am
stopping for the time being at Port Hudson."
"You board nt the hotel, I presume?" " I
take my meals there, but have .rooms in an-'
other part of the town where I lodge." "Do
you keep bachelor's hall ?" " Yea, sir."
" How long have you lived in that manner V'
"About sli'months." "I think you are quali
fied," zruVely remarked the judge, "tor I
have never known a man to keep bachelor's
hall the length of time you name who had
not dirt enough in his roonfto make him a
freeholder: The Court doesn't excuse you."
HONV HE PROVED h.—lt is the custom in
Mexico for the Church to require a foreigner,
wishing to marry a native, to bring proof
that he is not already a married man. An
American, about to marry a senorita of very
good family, was required to furnish the
proof of his being a bachelor. Not finding
any of his countrymen who knew him suffi
ciently well to testify to this fact, he deter
mined to supply the deficiency with the oats
of a native. 31( ding a Mexican in the street,
whom he had never seen la tore, our country
man proposed to him that he should swear
to his being unmarried, for the consideration
of five dollars. The senor, after a tnmnent's
study, told the " Gringo," "Gi t down on your
hands and knees and creep about." Not
exactly understanding what he was at, he
obeyed, much to the detriment of his unmen
tionables. The other patty then told him
he was all right; that he would swear that
he'llad known him xinee,the time he crawled,.
ADVANTAGE OF BEING Poon.—A poor
man never has any big tams to pay. He can
sit down and laugh the assessors to scorn,
and read off the big appropriations made by
councils with a feeling of indescribable ex
hilaration. -A poor man can enjoy life. He
lives in a rented house, and it needn't worry
him to bee it abused, and his equanimity net d
not be disturbed if it burns down. A. poor
man can repose in the bosom of his-family,
and know that there is no avaricious young
man prowling around after any rich Baugh•
ters. Nobody wants the poor man to die;
nobody is laying around in misery and Im
patience waiting for him to die, so as to ab.
sorb his funds. Another thing—no poor man
is ever worried by debt, flu nobody will ever
trust laim, and tvhendie does see a greenback
he hea.nlly enjoys
A NEWLY inducted policeman in New Or
leans recently had a singular adventure with
a fashionably dressed lady whom he met corn
ing out of a dry goods store. He had heard
of shop-lifters who carried off the most costly
goods in a sack disposed about their person..
He was ambitious of distinction, and here
was a chance for the coveted fame. The lady
was evidently carrying a heavy load. She
must be a , shop-lifter. There could be no
doubt of it—he would arrest her. " You are
my prisoner!" he said,laying his hand on her
shoulder. "What do you mean?" demanded
the insulted lady. " What's that you've got
on your back—stolen goods?" "Heaven!
never was so insulted. No, sir; it's not sto
len Roods." " I mean no offence, madam, but-
Inv duty compels me to examine it." "Sir—
villain—that's my—my Grecian bend !"
TIIE: Pools Bov.—Don't be ashamed, my
Ind, if you have a patch on your elbow; it it
no mark of disgrace. It speaks well for
your industrious mother.
,ror our part we
would rather see a dozen patches -on your
Jacket than hear one prothne and vulgar
word front your lips,or to smell the fumes of
tobacco in your breath. No good boy will
shun you because you cannot dreQs as well as
your companion ; and if a had boy some
'times laughs at your appearance, ;say noth
ing, my good lad, bnt walk on. We know
01 many a rich and good man who was once
as, poor as you. Fear God, my boy, and if
you are poor but honest, you will be respect
ed a great deal more than if you were the
son of a nch man, and were addicted to bad
habits.
GENUINE ELOquENCE.—There are no peo
ple in the world with whom eloquence is so
universal as the Irish. When Leigh Ritchie'
was traveling in Ireland, he pa-sed a 'man
who was!a painful spectacle of pallor, squa
lor and :raggedness. His heart smote 'him;
and he turned back. "If you are in want,"
said Ritchie, "why don't you beg r "Shurely,
it's begging I am, yer honor." " You didn't
say a word." "Ot course not, yer honor, hut '
see how the skin is speakin' through the holes
in my trousers! and the bones cryin' out
through my skin! Look at me sunken cheeks,
and the famine that's starin' in me eyes! Man
alive, isn't it begging I are with a thousand
tongues."
A CANADIAN clergyman not long since was
called upon by an Irish girl, who inquired
how much he asked for "mare in anybody."
lie replied, "A dollar and a-half," and Biddy
departed. A few evenings later, on being
summoned to the doer, he was accosted by
the same person, with the remark that she
had come to he married. "Very well," said
the minister: but, perceiving with aston
ishment that she was alone, he continued,
" Where is the man ?" An expression of dis.
appointment and chagrin too ludicrous to 'be
described passed over Biddy's features as she
ejaculated, "And don't you find the man for
a dollar and a-half?"
PRETTY GOOD.— It is said that ut a late
boor on the night after the recent attempt
of small politicians to inflict a public recep-
tion on the I'resident•clect, a serenading party
the temerity to call at his house for a
"tooting" under his front window., when
one of them was thrust- up and the Great
Smoker poked his head out, saying: "Gen
tlemen, I desire nothing of this sort." "But,"
socrgested the leader, "Shia is intended for
Mri. Grate." " Well, then," replied the Gen
eral, between puffs, "on this occasion I am
both Mr. and Mrs. Grant." The sweet play..
ers were obliged to acces the situation, and
box up their congratulatory hymns for some
other occasion.
