Bowe Dads Imperial Wine Bitters, and in this short period they have given such universal satisfaction to the many thou sands ofpersons who have tried them that it is now an established article. 'The amount of bodily and mental misery arising simply from a neglect of small complaints is surprising, and it is therefore of the utmost importance that a strict attention to the least and most trilling bodily ailment should be had for diseases of the body must invariably affect the mind. The . subscribers now only ask a trial of Dr. .T. Bovee Dods' Imperial Wineßittersl From all who have not used them. We chal lenge the world to produce their. equal. . These Bitters for the cure of Weak Stomachs, General Debility, and for Purifying and Em riching the Blood, are absolutely unsurpassed by:any-other remedy on earth. To be assured of this, it is only necessary to make the trial. The Wine itself is of a very superior quality, being about one-third stronger the other wines; warming and invigorating the, whole system ..from the head to the feet. As these bitters are tonic and alterative in their character, so they strengthen and invigorate the whole system and give a fine tone and healthy action to all its parts, by equalizing the . circulation, re moving obstruetiomi, and producing a general warmth. They are also excellent for inseams and Weakness , peculair to. Females , where a tonic is required to strengthen and brace the sys tem. No lady, who is subject to lassitude and faintness, should' be without them, as,they are revivifying in their action. These Bitters willmot only cure, but prevent disease, and in this respect are doubly valua ble to the.person who may use there. For incipient Consumption. Weak Lungs, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Diseases of the Nervous System, Paralysis, Piles, . . DR. DODS' CELEBRATED - WM BITTERS ARE UNSURPASSED I , For Sore Throat, so common among the Clergy, they are, truly valuable. For the aged and infirm, and for persons of a weak constitution—for Ministers of the' Gos pel, Lawyers; and all public speakers—for Book=Keepers, Tailors, Seamstresses,Students, Artists, and all persons leading a sedentary life, they will prove truly beneficial. As a Beverage; they are wholesome, inno cent, and delicious to the taste. They produce all the exhilarating effects of Brandy or Wine, Without intoxicating; and are a valuable rem edy for persons addicted to the use of exces sive strong drink, and who wish to refrain from it. They are pure and entirely free from the poisons contained in the adulterated Wines and Liquors with which the country Is flooded. These Bitters not only cure, butpreoent Dis ease, and should be used by all who live in a country where the zoter'l.4'^had,.-or—where • ~...4r, l are prevalent. Being en . and harmless, they may be giv en freely to Children and Infants with im punity. Physicians, Clergymen, and tetimerance ad vocates, as . an act of humanity; should assist in spreading these truly valuable Bitters over the land, and thereby essentially aid in ban= ishing Drunkenness and Disease. In all affections of the Head, slick Heatlathe, or Nervous Headache, Dr. Dada' Imperial Wine Bitters will be found to be most salutary and efficacious. —.__.. FEMALES. The many certificates which have been tou red us, and the lettere which we are daily eiving, are conclusive proof that among the men these Bitters have given a satisfaction 'eh no others have ever done before. No )man in the land should be without them, ' those who once use them will not fail to a supply. - Boyce Dods' Imperial Wine Bitters prepared by an eminent and skillful to who has used them successfully in ice for the last twenty-five years.

She read the s cro 11 , and dropping upon her knees, prayed for him who had written it. And who was "Henry ?"—Ten years ago he loved that same Maria, when they, both lived in Brooklyn: and he, would have made her his wife—for she told him she would be his—had he not taken to drink and gambling, and finally forged the name of his employer, for which he was given a home in Sing Sing. When he was worthy of ,her love he gave her that ring, and n slie had kept it in remembrance of what he had been. This is the story of the ring... On,, the return of the husband from Sacramento, the wife related the adven ture and showed hini the note; but he is ni t jealous, nor has ho attempted to ar rest the burglar. , 0 of a resi- north , late VILLIABI AND HIS 11AVELOCK.—"The member of the Mackerel Brigade, now stationed on Arlington Heights, to watch the movements of the Potomac, which is expected to rise shortly desires me to - thank the ladies of America for supplies of havelocks and other delica cies Of the season just received. The havelocks, my , boy, are rather roomy, and we took them' for shirts at fast"; and the shirts are so narrow-minded that we took them for havelocks. • If the women of America, could manage to get a little less linen into the collars of the latter, and a little more into the other depart ment of the graceful 'garmint' there would be fewer colds in this division of the Grand Army. The havelocks, as I have said before are roomy—very roomy my boy. Villiam Brown, of company G., put one on last night, when he went on sentry duty, and looked like a broom stick in a pillow case, for all the world. When the officer of the night came round arid.caught sight of Villiam in his have lock, he was struck dumb with admira tion for a moment Then , he ejaculated "What a splended moonbeam 1" "Villiam made a movement, and the sergent came up. room, .a dark r that d hear itrader. usbaud lays be le house.

"You're mistaken," says the sergeant ; "the sentry is Villiam Brown, in' his havelock, which was madaby the wo men of Atherica." The officer was so justly exasperated at•his mistake that he went immediate ly to his headcitiarters and took the oath three times running, with a little Sugar. The b - ath is very phpear, my bay, and comes in boltles. I take it medieinitily myself." The shirts made by the ladies of America are noble articles, as far down as ale 'collar; bat would not do to use as an• only garment. Captain Mortimer de Montague. of the skirmish squad, put pne on when he went to the President's reception, and the collar stood so up high that he couldn't put his cap on, while the other department didn't reach quite to his waist. His appearance at the White House was " picturesque sine interesting, and as he entered the dra*- ing-room, General Scott remarked very .feelingly-- - "Ah here comes one of the wounded heroes." o He's not wounded, General remark ed an officer standing by." • "Then why, is hie head bandaged up so ?"•asted•the venerable veteran. !"says the officer,. !that is only one of•the'shirts made by. the patriotic wiratnin of America V!

"I never thought of that ?" . "I, don't know" was the response, made just as a young briefless lawyer drove, up, to whom the case was submitt ed. "It depends on the sort of knot which he wished tied," was the decision. "I want a 'knot tied in my horse's tail to keep it out of the snow !" shouted the wicked wag, as he drove rapidly away, fearing lest the ministers in his profane wrath, should "fall from grace."
