No person in a fever and ague district should be without them. From. Rev. T. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of the Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge. Although not Cisposed to favdr or recommend Patent Medicines in general, through dist' ust a their ingredients and effects; I yet know of no sutfimmt reason why a man ma) not tes tify to the benefits he believes himself to have received from any simple preparation, in the hope that he may thus coati ibute to the bene fit of others. I do this more readily in reirard to Hoofland's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. Id. Jackson because I was prejudiced against them for a number of yours, under the impression that they were elfiedy an alcoholic mixture. lam indebted to my friendßo b't 4memaker, for the rternoval of this prejudice by proper tests, and for encouragement to try them, when suffering from great and long debility. The use of three bottles of these bitters, at the be ginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before, and had almost dispair ed of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend for directing me to the use of them. • J. NEWTON Reowrr. Philadelphia, June 23, 1362. ATTENI lON, SOLDIERS AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS We call the attention of all havin& relations or friends in the army to the fact that " Hoof land's German Hitters " will cure nine-tenths of the diseases induced by privatiop and ex posures incident to camp life.

Every case of that kind.can be readi ly cured by lioalland's German Bit ters. We have no hesitatiot in stating that, if these bit ters are freely used among our soldiers, hind reds,of lives might be saved that otherwise would be lost. The proprietors are daily receiving thankful• letters from sufferers in the army and hospi tals,who have-been iestored to health by the use of these Bitters, sent to them by their friends.

ADVICE To Bo vs.—" You were made Co be kind," says Horace Mann, "gener oui and magnanimous. If there is a boy in the school who has a club foot, don't let him know that you ever saw it. If there is a poor boy with ragged clothes, don't talk about rags when he is within hearing. If there is a lame boy, assign him some part of the. game which does not require running. If there is a dull one, help him to get his lessons. If there is a bright one, be not envious of him; for if one boy is proud of his talents, and another is en vious of them, there are two great, wrongs, and no more talent than before. Ha large? or stronger boy bee - injured you, and is sorry for it, forgive him, an d request the teacher not to punish him. All the school will shori•by their coun tenance how much better it is than to have a great fist." eir A young couple about to be mar ried, had proceeded as far as the church, door, when the gentleman, stopped his intended bride, and.,Eikid : "Dear Eliza, during our courtship I have told you most of my irdr.d, hut I have not told you the whole ; when we are married, I shall insist upon =three things." "What are they asked the lady. " In the first place," said the bride groom, "I shall sleep alone, I shall eat alone, and find fault whoa therejs no oc. casion ; can you submit to those ,coo. ditions ?" " 0 yes, sir, very easily," was, the re ply—"for if you sleep alone I shalt not —if you eat alone, I shall at flrst-•.-and, as to your finding fault without occa sion, that I think may be prevented, for I will take' care you shall never want occasion." tar A lady, remarkable for having high sense of her own dignity, being one day detained in her carriage, by the uu loading of a cart of coals, in a ver i 7 Dar. row street, leaned both her arms upon the door;and asked the man, "How dare you, sir, stop a woman of quality in the street V "Women of quality !" said the man. ' '‘Yes, - fellow !"- rejoined the lady ;•don't'you-see my arms' upon the carriage?" '"Yes, 1" do iiidebd; he' re plied, "and a pair of costae .arms they are, too I" CIIRIS AS-11R tE A Little German story, - rendered - from memory The poet Bernhard sat in his little dwelling-room in the fifth story of a picturesque old house in a closely built street of a ducal capital. Near him played his three rosy buys; while Er mingarde, his sweet blonde wife, plied her household tasks, only pausing now and then to turn• a cheerful glance to ward the dormer window nook where Bernhard was writing, or softly to leave a kiss on his broad, white brow, as she passed to and fro behind his chair. It was the week before Christmas; and the, three boys gathered in a knot before the blazing are, were recounting the last. fear's gifts of the good Christ kindchen, and. innocently wondering what they would receive this year. "I know what I would like!" ex claimed Paul, earnestly clasping his lit tle hands, "if the dear Christ-kindchen will find me worthy of it—a book of fairy tales, filled with beautiful pictures, liks the one we saw in the bookseller's window." "And I," said Herman, "can. think of nothing I would like so well as a rocking-horse a very little larger then that of our neighbor's son Heinrich, down in the third story." "As for me," lisped little Perti, "I would choose a basket of sugar-plums, wrapped in gold and silver paper and—" "Oh, I have it !" joyfully interrupted Herman. "Let us write the dear Christ kindeheu a letter, asking for these gifts !" "Papa, papa!" and •the children sprang to his side,--"will you be so kind as to write a letter for. us 7"4 - "And to whom,, my. littlemmn;?P aeked. the father, looking up in a amiliog; eur-i prise, . 6 qo: 'Cbrist-kindehen, papa we tell,you say)? - • And Bernhard prepared to _write, at. dictatioo.r.,'UF . • ," «Dear,•. Goad , ChrisGkindckerN-- Do, please; bring•ns In rocking horse, a hook of fairy tales with' lovely, pictures, and basket of sugar-plums, this. Christmas, and do not Forget, dear Christ.kindelen, that we live in room No. 20, fifth story.; of House No. 340, Lioderr Strasse. Your "Pitta., Elsustart, AND LITTLE ?ERTL" When theletter was written, neatly folded and addressed to "Christ kind chen," the boys peritiaded. Bernhard to open hie window; and cast-it far out on' the roof, confident that those heavenly eyes would look down and see it, all in good time. That night there arose a great storm of aind•and silo*, and the little white messenger was lifted up and borne over the high roofs of more than one street to the Government Square, where rested at last on the ledge'of one of the upper casements of the •ptilace < of the Grand Duke. Long after the nest'morning's sun had risen over the snow-covered city, a blue-eyed lady stood at this casement; and, looking out on the bright Winter - picture, beheld the tioileiter' ,the address,' "To Christ-kindehen," in full `view. Hastily summoning her maid, the Countess Tictoire direttp.' the Window to be opened, and' the fo ed paper handed to her. She lost .'6 time' in reading it. "Dear' children`!" and, as the fair lady finished the little pefition, tears stood in her beautiful eyes, "God has guided their simple words to me, perhaps that / may take the Ace of their dear Christ-kindeben " * , * IMEN3 Christmas-day dawned brightly the' little group of eager expectante, and, as liernhard and Ermingarde watched their happy faces and listened . to their impa tient longings for night to come—this night, when as the children firmly be-. lieved, Christ,kindcheu would answer their letter with the so desired gifts— the lewd parents bad very often to turn away to . conces.l their emotion. Alas ! their slender purse would not allow the luxury of procuring these little presents for their children I After their early dinner, in preparing which Ermingarde bad exerted, all her skill, besides expending the best part of her last florin in a Christmas • cake, .to which Bernhard. and the , boys did full justice, the dear little woman prepared them all for a 'walk in the brilliant Christmas.., streets, trusting that t,e children would .become absorbed in t le goy scenes without, and forget their ex petted visit: from Christ-kindchen.— With this hope-sba; and Bernhard per mitted thorn to linger' at pleasure befare beaatifaily arranged window's, -and before the !lottery booths, where Bern. hard was tempted to risk a few kraut- zers for his little people, and won, to his great delight, a cornet of moat:delicious. bonbons When night• came on, and the lumps began to twinkle along the crowded street, the little party'found themselves some distance from the. Linden Strasse. whereupon the careful mother prevailed upon them to. turn their footsteps home ward. But now, to her sorrow, the children's thoughts again reverted to Christ-kindchen and the expected gifts. "We will End them awaiting us ; nicht so, lieber mutter—nicht so, lieber papa 7" was the question of each little heart. Impatieneeekilk wings to their feet, and, springing, through the door opening upon the atone stairway leading up 10 their attic home, the three boys reached the narrow fifth story landing in advance of their weary and heavy-hearted pa rents. A joyous shout from the boys, and 'a flood of light falling in waves over the winding stairway now startled Bernhard and Ermingarde. Hastily mounting to the side of their children--what a sight. met their eyes I TheNoor leading into their little roomiwas wide open, and in the centre of the tidy room rose a beau 'tiful Ohrittitias.tree—a tapering dark green: fir—in whose graceful branches blazed innumerable waxen tapers, be tween which hung the lovliest toys that ever were seen, golden and silver cover ed fruits, nuts and sugar plums; on a little round table beneath lay three prettily bound books, and near by stood a fine rocking-horse, just as if he were awaiting a rider. Let the curtain fall on the transports or the . children, the bewilderment of the parents, their gratitude to the'unknOwn, as Alley. Watobedl‘ their Atirling boys around the radiant table. There w'efe happy; glowidg Hearts in the hoine that Christmas night, The next day twolett . ers were brought to Bernhard : The first announced to him that the' volume of poems' submit. ted hiin to the 'Court , bocikiteller few week before had been 'recoiled, tee cepted and would , b&-p . ubliShed at the earliest possible day. Gbod news ; but the other letter which 'bore a gove'r'n ment seal, raised' the happiness of the family to a height still greater: It was Bernhard's appointment to an 'office un der the Grand Duke, the duties of whiCh were little. more than noMinal, but whose salary-(would' at once , place his family in a position of comparative ease. Years later, when Bernhardls name as a poet had become known and honored throughout his father laud, the , ., still lovely - eohatess Vicioire confessed 6, NM and Ertnitigaide the part 'she had' taken in answering the letter of Paul, Herman and Perti—now grosin to than'. ly Youths—to Christ-kindeben;and ars°, the fact of her hit'vitig eierted'he'r inbt eece with the Grand Duke and'DucheaS,2 (after learning that the fathr ~,o f the' three boys and Berohard the risinepoet, were one and'the sanae . persoli,) in ob taibing' for them the governtne ap pcOtltrneut. • THEr LAMM% AND THE larsam.ol.-- , As a number of lawyers and gentlemen were dining at Wiseassett, a few years since,: a gay son of the Li'merald-Isle,appeared and called for dinner.
