The GERMAN APERIENT PILLS are to cleanse the stomach and purify_ the BLOOD The Tonic or STRENGTHENING PILLS are to STRENGTHEN and invigorate the nerves and digestive organs and give tone to the Stomach, as all diseases originate from impurities of the BLOOD and disordered Stomach. This mode of treating diseases is pursued by all practical PHYSICIANS, which experience has taught them to be the only remedy to effect a cute. They are not only recommended and prescribed by the most experienced Physicians in their daily practice, but also taken by those gentlemen themselves whenever they feel the symp toms of those diseases, in which they know them to he efficacious. This is the case in all large cities in which they have an ex ensive sale. It is not to be naderstood that these medicines will cure all diseases mere by purifying the blood—this they will not do; but they certainly will, and sufficient authority of daily preots asserting that those medicines, taken ns recommended by the di rections which accompany them, will cure a great majority of diseases ,of the stomach, bungs and liver, by which impurities of the :blood are occasioned. _ rp Ask for I)it.

DANA MARIA-THE BEAUTIFUL VICTIM [By the Author of "Scenes in Spain" lately from the press.] Dona Maria de Pineda was a native of Spain, and; I believe, of the gay land of Andalusia. Her parentage was respecta ble, with a tinge of noble blood ; and na ture had endowed her with personal beau ty and mental powers above the common standard. She had been married at an early age to an officer in the Spanish ar my, by whose death she was left a widow but, as I believe, without children. At the time of his death she numbered but little more than twenty-five years, and was still in the possession of all those gra ces of spirit and person, which was found in the native of Aliciahim, are irresista ble. She was living quietly in Granada, under the circumstances I have mention ed, when one illomened day the justicia, that te:•ror of the oppressed Spaniard, ap peared at the door; and having deman ded admittance in the name of the abso lute king, proceeded to search the house in which she lived, and with peculiar jea lousy the apartments which the unfortu nate Dena Maria occupied. 'rho scruti ny of these detestable commissioners of .lespotism—for in Spain what character is so utterly dispised and so utterly de spicable as that of the Alguazil and the Escribano C—was at first unsuccessful ; but at length the discovered in a chest, in a corner obscurely lighted and well suit ed to the purposes of concealment, an un finished piece of embroidery, in the form of a pennon or standard, and bearing those three odious colours under which freedom has so recently triumphed in France. This !emblem of emancipation was greedily dragged from its hiding place by the eager justicia. Its being found in her apartment was sufficient to stamp her as a traitor to her king and country ; and the helpless Dona Maria was hurried to prison, and there placed in rigorous con finement. The reader will probably remember,l that about this time, that is, the summer ' of 1881, there was a great excitement arid anxiety on the part of the Spanish Government; for not only had the late succes.ful struggle in France roused the spirits of the heart-sick friends of liberty in the Peninsula, but avert the acts of re sistance had been committed by the parti sans of Turrijos in the south and of Mina, on the northern frontier. The governor too had been very recently assassinated in broad day light in the streets of Cadiz. These efforts, ill-devised and worse exe cuted, w'.ile they injured the cause they were Mended to luster, re kindled the slumbering fury of absolutism. Nuiner ous arrests were made in every part of Spain. The slightest whisper of discon. tent became treason, and suspicion usur , I:ad the place of evidence, Fathers were torn from their children, husbands from their wives; and even the tender sex was iucluded in the anetheina, that went forth against all who dared to lisp the word or even think of liberty. At such a time no wonder that the phi., als of the royal wrath should be poured upon the head of one who had dared to harbour the odious tri-colour of France. To answer this damning charge Dona Ma ria was soon brought to the bar, and the fact of the flag having been found in her apartment being established, she was con. demised to death as guilty of high trea son. In countries that have wantonly cherished free principles, it would have cost a world of trouble to arrive at such a result ; for the public prosecutor would have been put to the idle inconvenience of proving some over act, besides combating with a jury of the criminal's peers, against the womanish principles that justice should be administered in mercy, and that innocence should be presumed until guilt be established. But Spanish jus tice, unembarrassed by those benignant notions by which human life is guarded in other countries, leaps readily over the fee ble barriers of common sense and humani ty; and strong in the spirit of reveng e, thinks only of the outraged rights of ab solutism, which proscription has sanction ed and the Divinity himself bestowed. It was whispered among the terrified Liber als that the flag had been put in the apart ment by the wary hands of the police, or as some would have it, at the instigation of a judicial officer; who, having, like the foul -hearted Angelo, looked with longing eyes us her beauty and ,been foil- , ed to his plans, had plotted her ruin. But though it were certain that the police had committed the crime it affected to detect, or that he who was appointed to punish the villany of others was the worst of vil lains himself, yet who would dare to stain the spotless purity of a Spanish Alquzil, or whisper to the ear of royalty the profli gacy of its own delegate ! The late of Dona Maria was sealed beyond the possi bility of redemption. Coavinced of the hopelessness of par don she is said to have looked forward to I ,death with quiet fortitude. On the even ing before the fatal day which was to con , duct her to an ignominious execution, she wrote letters to her dearest relatives and friends, exhorting them to bear the mis t fortune which awaited them with the same energy which she herself. This du ty occupied her till a late hour of the night, when she laid down and slept tran quilly till the morning. When she rose she made her toilett with more than usu al care, arranging her hair with her own hands, and adjusting her attire as deliber.. ' ately as it she were not going forth to death, but to some scene of holiday enjoy : Vent. I passed hastily along, half ashamed to be seen going to witness so horrible a trag. edy. After turning and winding through many narrow and crooked streets, direc ted by the scanty current of foot passer gems, I suddenly emerged through a time worn arch or portal, upon the large open place known as the Square of Elvira. Here was assembled a multitude of peo ple, who were not, however, concentrated in one dense mass, but scattered in groups over different parts of the square. They were, almost without exception, of the low eat orders, for the better classes had kept within their houses, and were scarcely seen in the streets during the whole mor ning. There were grave peasants wrap— ped in their dusty cloaks in defiance of the no 'n day sun; swarthy black-haired gipsies, the women holding ragged chil dren by Oil hand; or infants slung on their backs; and peasant women from the Vega dressed in their holiday finery and with roses in their hair, but whose countenan ces accorded better with the solemnity of the occasion. These were blended with pale-faced artizens from the city, and the usual materials that constitute the mass at such scenes in all countries. But all were grave and even dejected. Not a word ,was heard but the distant and al most inaudible chant of a monk on the scaffold. The importunate beggar had ceased to ask for sling, and even the gar ' rufous water-carrier was hushed. All eyes were directed to the centre of the square where a wooden platform had been raised, upon which a young woman was seated; her dark !mown hair was smoothly divided over her pale forehead and I fancied I !could discern, even at the long distance which separated us, the tra ces of that beauty which I had heard so much praised. A friar of the order of mercy, in white flannel robes, with a gir dle of rope, a long rosary, and having the crown of his head shaven, was seen hold ing a cross up before:her, upon which was nailed the image of the suffei ing Saviour. Disposed in a hollow square round the platform,': to cut off the ;,hope of.rescue or escape, a company of foot-soldiers were posted with fixed bayonets ; without them was a troop of cavalry, their drawn sabres and steel caps glittering in the sun. I had scarcely passed some two or three minutes in looking round upon this gloo my scene, wh.”l a man vulgarly dressed was seen to ascend the platform. It was undoubtedly the executioner. A sensa tion of heart sick misery came over me; fur an instant indeed, the thought flashed upon me that if a thousand, nay, but a hundred resolutte arms could be raised for the rescue, that unfortunate woman might live. But were were they? She had but a few fast fleeting moments left, and her sleuth was as certain as the course of yon der sun towards the mountains of Loxa. I turned sadly away, and left the Square of Elvira without daring to look back. Very soon after Dona Maria expired, ad • ding another name tolthe bloody record of the victims of absolutism. THE TEST OF BENEVOLENCE. A SHORT AND TRUE STORY• "The hand that wiped away the tear of want, The heart that melted at another's woe, Were his, and blessings followed him." David Wentworth had the kindest of hearts. There was neither mete nor bound to his benevolence, except inability. And happy were any man who had a tithe of the prayers that were daily offered up fin• the welfare of my frien'd, by the unfor tunate and wretched whom his hand had relieved. I speak of prayers—tor it was the only reward he sought, and of course the only reward he obtained ; 1 mean here— but 1 forget._ David was paying atttentions to an ex cellent young lady of his native city. She was wealthy, beautiful, and accomplished, and consequently had many suitors '— Among them were richer, and nobler (in extraction, I mean,) and handsomer men than David, but n'importe, there was a ' kind of frank-hearted straight forwardness about my friend, that could not fail to carry him somewhere near the heart of his discerning mistress, even if an emperor had been Nis rival. The young lady in question hit upon a project to put the character of her lovers [WrzoLE No. 239. to the test. She had come across a poor widow with a family in distress, in one of her benevolent excursions, and the idea struck her that it would be a good oppor tunity to ascertain the stuff her lovers hearts were made of. Letters were forth with indited, setting forth the good wo man's tale, and forwarded to the different gentlemen in the widow's name, reques ting an answer and assistance. The first reply was a lecture on idle• ness and begging, and concluded with the information that the writer was not ac customed to give to those he did not know. This was from $lO,OOO a year! The second advised her to apply to some of the benevolent societies whose business it was to relieve those who were truly in want. This was from one who had a great reputation for benevolence—who had ta ken a leading part in several charitable associations, and whose pharisaical liber. ality had been blazoned in the Gazette. The lady thought that interested as he was in the success of these institutions, he displayed a very commendable reluc tance about taking the business out of their hands. A third from a good heart ed and generous kind of a fellow--enclo sed her a five dollar bill, with his cow• pliments. Several took no notice of the good woman's petition. But there was another answer which the lady reed with tar different feelings. It was from David —from $BOO a year —and, I need not say, like himself, kind and oonsoling. It spoke of the writer's narrow means, and also of the . principle he had adopted, of never giving unless persuaded of the worthiness of the object, and concluded by requesting an interview. "lf," said he, "I find myself otherwise unable to af ford the assistance you require, I trust I may be of service in interesting others in your behalf." Nor was this mere profession. For it was but a few weeks before the widow found herself comfortably located, and engaged in a thriving little business, com menced by the recommendation and cdr ried on by the aid of my friend. And 01 this was - done in genuine Scripture style. There was no sounding of trumpets—and the right hand knew not the doings of the left. But his lady love was a silent ob server of his conduct, and he received many a kind glance in this quarter, of which he little suspected the cause. She began to think that the homage of a spirit like his was a thing not to be despised ; and she felt something very much like a • palpitation of the heart, as she questioned herself respecting his intentions. Such was the train of thought which was one evening, as is often the case, inter rupted by . a cell from the very person who had been its cause. Hour alter hour pas sed by that night, and still David lingers od. He could not tear himself away.— "She is a most fascinating creature," thought he, "and good as she is beautiful. Can she ever he mine?" And a cloud came over his fine features, and he sat for a moment in silence. "This suspense must be ended," he at length thought. He started as the clock told eleven. "You i% ill certainly think me insuffera bly tedious," said he, with a faint smile, "but I have been so pleasantly engaged, as to take no note of time. And the sin of this trespass upon the rules of good breeding, must lie at your door. Besides, I have lengthened this visit," he continu ed, after a pause, "under the apprehen sion that as it has been the happiest, might also be the last, it shall ever be aly good fortune to enjoy with Miss II." The lady looked at him with sonic Sur- Nav," said he, "the matter rests with j yoursefr. Will you forgive my presump. Lion? I know that others perhaps more worthy of you, at least nobler and weal thier, and higher in the world's esteem, ate striving for the honor of your hand. And yet I cannot restrain myself from, making an avowal which, though it may• be futile, is yet but a deserved tribute to your worth." And he popped the ques tion. The lady did not swoon or turn pale. But a flush of gratification passed over her face, and lighted her eye for a moment. She frankly gave hint her hand, and looked up archly in his face. "The friend; of the fatherless and the widow," said she, (David blushed) cannot fail to make : a constant lover and a worthy husband."
