PA RTECULA NOT:Ct.—There are many
preparations sold under the name of Bitters,
put up in quart bottles, compounded t.f the
cheapest whisky or common ruin, costing from
20 to 40 cents per gallon, the taste disguised by
Anise or Coriander Seed.
This class of Bitters has caused and will con
tinue to cause, as long as they can be sold,
hundreds to die the death of the drunkard.—
By their use the system is kept continually
under the influence of alchobolic stimulants of
the worst kind, the desire for liquor is created
and kept up, and the result is all the horrors
attendant upon a drunkard's life and death.
For those who desire and will have a Liquor
Bitters, we publish the following receipt Get
one bottle of Hoodund's Bitters and mix with
three quarts of good brandy or whisky, and
the result will be a preparation that will far
excel in medicinal virtues and true excellence
any of the numerous Liquor Bitters in the
market, and will cost much legs. You will
have ell the virtues of Hoolland's Bitters in
connection with a good article of liquor, at a
touch less price than these inferior prepara
tions will cost you.
ATTENTIOV SOLDIERS I We ealrthe atten
tion of all having rotations or friends in the
army to the• fact that "lloolland's German
Bitters" wilt curd nine.tenths of the diseases
induced by expoatires and privations int:Went
to camp life. in the lists, published almost
daily in the newspapers, on the arrival of the
sick, it will be notified rita very large pro:
portion are suffering froth debility. Every
case of that kind can he readily cured by
iloofland's Getman Bitters. Diseases result
ing from disorders of the digestive .organs are
speedily removed. We have un hesitation in
stating that, if these Bitters were freely used
among our soldiers, hundreds of lives might
be saved that otherwise will be lost.
We call the particular attention to the fol
lowing remarkable and Ire)l authenticate,
cure of one of the natiAn's heroes, witose life
to use his language; "has been saved by the
Bitters :"
PHIL A DELPHI I, August. 234, ISall,
Messrs. Junes .4. Eneans.—W.2ll, gentleman,
your llootland , s German Bitters have saved my
life. There is no mistake in this. Lt is vouch
ed for by numbers of my comrades, some of
whose names are appeuded, and who are fully
cognizant of all the circumstances of my Case.
I am, and have been for the last four years,
a member of Sherman's celebrated battery,
and under the immediate command of Cap
tain 11.. B. Ayres. Through the exposure at
ter dant upon my arduous duties, I WaSatutek
ed in Nov: tnber lust wt:h intlamution of the
lungs, and was for seventy-two days in the
hospital. This was followed by great debility,
heightened by an attack of dyseetary. I was
then removed from the White House, and
sent to this Or on board the Steamer "State
of Maine," front which I landed on the 28th,
of June. Since that time 1 have been about
as low as any one could and still retain a
spark of vitality. Fora week or more 1 wits
scarcely able to swallow anything, and if I did
force a morsel down, it Was immediately
thrown lip again.
I could not even keep a glass of water on
my btomach. Life could not last under these
circumstances: and, accordingly, the physi
cians who had been working faithfully, though
unsuccessfully to rescue me from the grasp
of the dread Archer, frankly told me they
could do no more for me, and advised me to
see a clergyman, and to make such disposi
tion of my lirnitel funds as best suited me.—
An acquaintance who visited me at the hospi
tal, Mr. Frederick Steinbron, of Sixth below
Arch street, advised me, as a forlorn hope, to
try your Bitters, and kindly procured a bottle.
From the time I commenced taking Mein the
gloomy shadow of death receded, and I am
now, thank God for it, getting bettor. Tho'
I have taken but two bottles, 1 have gained
ten pounds, and I feel sanguine M. being per
mitted to rejoin my wife and daughter, from
whom I have heard nothing for eighteen
months: fur, gentlemen, I eta a loyal 'Virgin
ian, froM the vicinity of Front Myst. To
your invaluable Bitters I owe thecettainty of
life winch has taken the placo of vague fears
—to your Bitters Will Lowe the glourious pri
vilege of again clasping to my bosom those.
whoare dearest to me in life.
Very truly yours,. ISAAC MALONE.
We fully concur in the truth of the above
statemea, as we bad despaired of seeing our
comrade, Mr. Malone, restored to health.

I arise from my dreams of thee
In the first sweet sleep of night,
When the winds are breathing low,,
And the stars are shining bright; ,
I arise from dreams of thee,
And a spiritin my feet

To my chamber window, sweet
The wandering airs they faint
On the dark, the silent stream—
The champak'odors fall •
Like street thought in a dream ;
The nightingale's complaint*
It dies upon her bearti.
As I must die on thine;

My heart beats loud, and fast ;

young man decidedly inebriated; walked
into the executive . chamber, and asked
for the Governor.
"What do you want. with birn?" in

"Oh I want an office with a good gal

"Well," replied the Secretary,
.".I can
tell you something better for you than
a sinecure—you had bettor •try tba-

A new idea seemed to strike the
young , inebriate and he vamosed..

selves aggrieved by the severity with
whieli some of their friends animadvert

'Do you think,' said they, "that there
can be.any impropiiety in oar wearing

A late member of Parliament, writing
to his daughter, says,:—‘l observe you

one to reverse the case, and tell you, in

very, apt. to lose your temper. Worse
than both these, however, is -the, really

' In opening an - old book, the other day,
the first passage that my eye fell upon
was this. I copy it entire, although I
do not believe every word it contains.
The old writer says:
"Mairiage has in' it leiis of beauty, but
more of safety, than the single life ; it
bath not more ease, but less danger; it
is more merry and more sad ; it is fuller
of sorrows and fuller of joys ; it lies un
der more. burdens, but is supported by
all the•strengths oflove and chatity, and
those butdens are delightful. Marriage
is the 'rnotherof the world, and . preserves
kingdoms, : and fills.eities and churches,
=and heaven-itself. Oeliliacy, like the fly
in the heart of an apple, dwells in per
petual sweetness; but sits alone and is
confined, and dies in singularity ; but
marriage - , like the useful bee, builds a
house, and gathers sweetness from every
flower, and labors and unites into socie
ties and republics; and sends out colo
nies, and feeds the world with delica
.
and obeys their ruler and keeps
,
order, and exercises many virtues, and
promotes the 'interest of mankind, and
is that state - of good to which God bath
designed the present constitution of the
world,"
Now you will admit that this is very
terse and beautiful. It is quite like
Barrow for compactness, . and Jeremy
Taylor for sweetness. But, as I said
before, it is not all to be agreed to, par
ticularly the statement that "marriage
has in it less beauty than the single life.
There is hardly anything in they world
so beautiful as the union of two loving
hearts, that are united because of their
love, and. for no unworthy reason. There
is hardly an augury of promise so auspi
eious'as an early love that looks toward
marriage as its faithful•seal and signet.
Thereds hardly any festival among men
so genial and happy is a wedding-day.
Our author was evidently earnest and
sincere in , his description ; but when he
.thonglit' there was more beauty In a
single life,• he unconsciously intimated
.yerhaps that he was the sober compan
ion of a4ery excellent yet ratherlome
ly woman. But marriage has more of
beauty in it than_its' bride. The wife
may 'he levely herself, but her wedded
life ielovlier. It is more beautiful not
only in its leaves and blossoms, brit in
. and shelter. its, shade and shelter. There is a sa
credness in the thought of husband and
wife which is more than beautiful. There
is something tender in the thought of a
family and household of one's own ; and
what is tender is better than what is
heautiful.
I cannot hold that "celibacy, like the
fly of an apple:' dviells in perpetual
sweetness." 11, rather like a fly in
the heart _ of a- tart apple that dwells in
perpetual sourness. True, marrriage is
more "merry and more .sad," but 'if it
were not sadness, what were merriment ?
Must there not be,darks as wellas lights
in a picture ? "It is fuller cf sorrows
and of joys" ; but its, sorrows heighten
its joys; and- joys without sorrows
would never be joyful. "It lies 'under
more -burdens;" . say rather it stands
under more burdens, - for marriage is

It is quite surprising to find so many
opinions in the _world on the subject of
marriage. Ido not mean in regard to
its lawfulness, - or propriety, or divine
altabority, but ita beauty and happiness.
Yet it is not to be doubted that most
