Although not disposed to favor or recommend
Patent Medicines in general, through distiost
their ingredients and effects; I yet know
of na sullici mt reason why a man may not tes
tify to the benefits he believes himself to have
received from any simple preparation, in the
hope that he may thus contribute to the bene
fit of others.
I do this more readily in regard to Hoolland's
German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson
because I was prejudiced against them for a
number of,years, under the impression that
they were chiefly an alcoholic mixtufh. lam
indebted to my friend Rob't Shoemaker, esq.,
for the removal of this prejudice by proper
tests r 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.

Christ Kindel.
A. German correspondent of the St
Louis Union writes to the editor :
Why is it that you native-born Ameri
cans spell this word in a way to make it
not only lose its lovely sense, but even
to make it entirely senseless ? "Kriss
Kinkle," you spell it ; and if nobody
checks you in this obnoxious orthogra
phy a stupid, senseless word will re
ceive the privilege of augmenting the
English vocabulary, when by a very lit
tle care it could be enriched with a
beautiful, friendly, and sensible expres
sion.
Christ Kindel means the little child—
Christ; Jesus, the little child; L'En
fant Jesus, as the French say. [The
evening before Christmas the legend
lets the child Jesus visit the houses,
where there are some good-natured fel
low children.]
In France they have no Christmas
trees but, nevertheless, . the children
know that "L' Enfant Jesus" is coming,
and they put their shoes outside of their
house-doors, or in the ashes of the
chimney, being certain to find on the
next morning a copper, or even a sli
ver or gold piece in them. L' Enfant
Jesus, they know, rewards, in this way,
their good behavior during the year.
In Germany there is no house without
a Christmas tree. On the night before
Christmas, Christ Kindel comes in the
best room in the house, illuminates the
tree, and puts on it, and under;it, what
ever all good children during the whole
year hoped to get. The most lovely
and innocent feast, in fact the feast of
children, this essentially German feast
having finally made the "tour de monde"
—is not proper, while you Americans
have accepted the theory, to except al
so the name, and not spoil it by any
atrocious orthography ? Is it not a
great deal better to spell Christ Kindel
than to strangulate it into the nonsensi
cal expression of 'friss Kinkle?
Gunn.—A love-sick lassie, writes to
her adored, in the following strain of
deep feeling love :
"My dear sweet Ichabod. how I
want to see your big gray eyes. 0,
how borrow-stricken 1 am at your long
absence. .E want to see you oad feel
your heart bump. Oh, sweet Ichabod,
now do come out, and let us get mar
mried if you love me. God bless you, if
you are not sufficiently blest in being so
sweet. Oh, you marygold, you holly
hock, you tulip, you cabbage. Oh, you
sweet owl, do come and comfort your
dying, smitten Caroline. Oh, Ichabod,
but how I do love your big red lips.—
Oh, you trim, tall fellow, full of manna
of sweet love, how I do want to see you,
you model of perfection. You have
been gone this two mouths, and to me
it does seem like a hundred years.—
your dear presence would do me more
good than the cooling springs to the
parched traveller of the desert ; more
then the pebbled pool to the wanton
duck—yes more than a lump of sugar to
a spoilt child. Why, then, will you not
come, yes fly as swift as lightning to
kiss away the tears from the dimpled
cheeks of your mad love. Oh, bleak
and wild is the house, the garden, the
woods, and the world without thee. Oh
yes, bless thee, my dumplin, my jews.

r Cir Old Mrs. Lawson was called as a
witness. She was sharp and wide

'Mrs. Lawson, you have brass enough,

"Yes," she replied, "and you've got sass

Private Rotel.
We observe the following going the
rounds of the Rebel press :
Mike has made several important dis
coveries in his recent raid through the
Southwest. He says he has just found
out what a "private hotel" is. He has
found several of them in his travels, and
they are certainly very peculiar institu
tions. He says their bells and gongs
make as much clatter as if there was re
ally something on the table to call the
public to, but when one gets there he
sees nothing but empty plates.
Presently the waiters will be seen
dispersing different articles of proven
der—pretty generally to the military
gentlemen with the stars and bars on
their collars—and when you ask them
to give you "some of that what that
feller's got," the waiter will look at you
just as a faro dealer does when he "rakes
down your pile," looks as if. he had
"thawed" you, and innocently says :
"That's private, sir."
Then you look around to see what
else might suit your taste, and you see
another chap with eggs. You think,
"well, eggs are common enough, dear
knows."
"Well, give me some eggs, then."
"Dem's private, too, sir. De gemmen
foth 'em here, and we cook 'em for him."
"Give me some potatoes, then ; I
suppose they're not private," I said,
loud enough to attract all the eyes
around the table,
"Yes, massa, dem's private, too ; but
I can give you some corn bread."
"Give me some of that butter, you
black rascal," I said, aggravated, as in
deed it should make any body feel who
was paying eight dollars a day'for board.
"Well, massa, 'clare, massa, dat's pri
vate, too ! Here's some salt !"
ISpying another nigger, I motioned .
Erip to me, thinking I would slip a bribe
into his fingers, and possibly get some
orthe private dishes. He came reluc
tantly, and as I extended my hand with
a promise in it, he stopped and said in
a low tone :
"I'se a private servant, massa."
Phis capped the climax, and I deter
mined to finish my meal on corn dodger
and salt, and take the next train for a
change.
GEN. M EAGIIER.-It appears that Gen.
Thomas Meagher was captured by the
rebels during the recent movement of
the Army of the Potomac is entirely
false. He was on a visit to the remnant
of his old Irish Brigade when the ad
vance upon the enemy was ordered, and,
as might be expected from his previous
career, which has been remarkable for
und s aunted courage and pluck, he went
with them into the front of danger ; but
he was not taken prisoner. He re
turned with them across the Rapidan,
and became the guest of General Corco
ran at Fairfax Court House. His re
ception by his old comrades and brother
generals throughout the entire army is
said to have been most cordial and en
thusiastic.
Itir "Son," said an interesting young
mother to her youngest hopeful, "do
you know what difference is between
the body and the soul ? The soul, my
child, is what you love with, the body
carries you about. Tbis is your body,
(inching the little fellow's shoulders
aid arms,) but there is something deep
e in, you can feel it now. What is
at ?" "Oh I know," said Sam, with
flush of intelligence in his eyes, "that's
my flannel shirt."
Cr One who has evidently tried it,
says : "To reduce the temperature of
a dining•room bring a friend home to
tea some afternoon when your wife
wishes to "fix up" early to go to the
opera. The coolness with which your
self and friend will be received will give
arigerating tone to the whole house.
The receipt is warranted to cure."
lir A few evenings since, a widow,
who was known by the entire congrega
tion to be greatly in want of a husband,
was praying with great fervency. "Oh !
thou knowest what is the desire of my
heart!" she exclaimed. "A-m-a.n !"
responded a brother, in a broad accent.
It was wicked, but we are quite sure
that several grave members smiled on
the occasion.

Figures will not Lie.
STATISTICS OF LIFE AND DEATEL.—We
have faith in statistics. They give the
death blow to all false doctrine and em
piricism in science, and blow sky-high
the fine spun theories of unpractical men.
Medical statistics are of special import
ance. They teach us to estimate at their
just value the curative powers of the
drugs, which are the stereotypes of the
"profession," and what is their value?
Figures, which do not lie, show that in
all dangerous complaints the "regular
practice" of the "faculty" loses at least
as many as it saves. But, then, the
doctors tell us that those who die are
"incurables." If this be so, how is it
that so many victims of the most viru
lent internal and external disorders,
whom the profession had given up, have
recovered through a persevering use of
Holloway's Pills and Holloway's Oint
ment? There can be no doubt about
the fact, we .opine, and we want some
body to account for it. To our plain
mind, it appears that if chronic dyspep
sia cannot be cured by the doctors, and
is cured with unerring certainty by
Holloway's Pills, that the latter remedy
is worth the whole medicinal stock of
the faculty, as a means of relieving that
complaint. 'So again, if a "given up"
case of scrofula or erysipelas becomes
rapidly convalescent under the action
of the Ointment, we cannot escape the
conclusion that it is the true specific for
external disorders, and that the "regu.
lar pharmacoveie" contains nothing
that will compare with it as a means of
subduing that class of maladies.
This is good logic, we believe. If any
cavil at it, we will admit their demur
rers when they can show us a better
basis for argument than facts.—" State
Gazette."
The king's
Some of our exchanges have revived
the following old but good story :
A number of old politicians, all of
whom were seeking office under the go
vernmeat, were seated at a tavern porch
talking, when a toper named John 3--,
a person who is very loquacious when
corned, but exactly the opposite when
sober, said if the company had no ob.
jections he would tell them a story.—
They told him to "fire away," whereup
on he spoke as follows :
"A certain king—l don't remember
his name—had a philosopher upon whose
judgement he always depended. Now
it happened that one day the king took
it into his head to go a hunting, and af
ter summoning his nobles and making
the necessary preparations, he summon
ed the philosopher and asked him if it
would rain. The philosopher said it
would not, and he and his nobles de
parted. While journeying along, they
met a countryman on a jackass. He
advised them to return, 'for,' said he, 'it
will certainly rain.' They smiled con
temptuously upon him, and passed on.
Before they had gone many miles, how
ever, they had reason to regret not ta
king the rustic's advice, as a heavy
shower coming on they were drenched
to the skin.
"When they had returned to the pal
ace, the king reprimanded him severely.
'I met a countryman,' said he, 'and he
knows a great deal more than you, for
he told me it would rain, whereas you
told me it wold not.' The king then
gave him his walking papers and sent
for the countryman, who made his ap
pearance. 'Tell me,' said the king,
'how you knew it would rain."l. didn't
hnow,' said the rustic, 'my jackass told
me. 'And how, pray; did he tell you ?'
'By pricking up his ears, your majesty,'
returned the rustic.
"The king sent the countryman away
and procured the jackass of him, and
put him (the jackass) in the place the
philosopher had Bled.
"And here," observed John, looking
very wise, "is where the king made a
great mistake." "How so?" inquired
his auditors, eagerly. "Why, ever since
that time," said John, with a grin,
"every jackass wants an office."
ar "Pa, hoW many legs has a ship ?"
"A ship has no legs, my child." "Why,
pa, the paper says she draws twenty
feet, and that she runs before the wind."

eyes." "Or rather," exclaimed Byron,
