Although not Gisposed tn favorer recommend
PateritlVledicinee in general, through distrust
of their ingredients and effects; I ,yet know
of .no suffici .ut reason why a min ma) not tes

received froni any simple preparation, in the
hope that he may thus contribute to the bene
fit of othhrs.
I do this more readily in regard to Hoofland's
German Sifters, prepared by Dr. C. NI. Jackson .
because I was prejudieed against them for a
number of years, under the impression that
tht.y were (Wray au alcoholic, mixture. lam
indebted to my friend Ilob't' Shoemaker, esq.,
for the removal of this prejudice by proper
tests, and for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great and long debility. The
use of three bottled 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 alx Months before,
and had almost dispair
ed of regaining. I therefore thank God and
my friend for directing rue to the use of them.

THE 'WORLD IS FULL OF BEAUTY.
There is beauty in the forest,
Where the trees are,green and fair,
There is beauty in the meadow,
Where wild dowers scent the air,
There is beauty in the sunlight,
And the soft blue beam above ;
0 ! the world is full of beauty,
When the heart is full of love.
There is beauty-in the fountain,
, Singing gaily at its play,
While the rainbow hues are streaming
On its silvery shining spray ;
There is beauty in the stieamlet,
Murm'ring softly Oro' the grove;
0 1 the world is full of beauty,
When the heart is full of love.
Thin Stout,
There is beauty in the brightness
Beaming from a loving eye;
In the warm blush of affection,
In the tear of sympathy.
lu the sweet low voice whose accents
The spirit's gladness prove ;
0! the world is full of beauty,
When the heart is full of love.
Chide mildly the erring,
Kind language endears,
Grief follows the sinful,
Add not to their tears ;
Avoid with reproaches
Fresh pain to bestow,
The heart which is stricken
Needs never a blow.
Chide mildly the erring,
Jeer not at their` fall,
if strength be but human,
How weekly were all !
What marvel that footsteps
Should wander astray,
When tempests BO Bbado*
Life's wearisome way.
Ohide mildly the erring,
Entreat them with care,
Their natures are mortal,
They need not despair.
We all have some frailty,
We all are unwise,
The grace which redeems us,
Must come from the skies.
WHAT IS CONSCIENCE.—When a little
boy, my father sent me from the field
home. A spotted tortoise 'in shallow
water. caught my attention, and I lifted
my stick to strike it when a voice within
me said "it is wrong." I stood with
uplifted stick, in wonder at the new
emotion, till the tortoise vanished from
my sight into deeper water.
1 hastened home and asked my mother
what it was that told me it was wrong.
Taking me in her arms, she said—
"some men call it conscience, but I
prefer to call it the voice of God in the
soul of man. If you listen to and obey
it, then it will speak clearer, and guide
you right. But if you turn a deaf ear,
or disobey, then it will fade out little
by little, and leave you in the dark
without a guide."
Er Which was the : property? was a
question very neatly= settled the other
day by Daniel Drew, the great steamboat
proprietor of Gotham. Daniel, although
a. man, of immense wealth, is an old
fashioned. Methodist, and dresses very
plainly. at all times, and sometimes
rather shfibbily. Being on one of his
steamers, not long since, he was accost
ed by ft, passenger, who took him for
one of the crew, with the interrogatory :
"Do you be)ong to
,this boat ?" "No,"
said Daniel, quietly, "this•boat belongs
to me !"

With look so prini,

"It ain't so queer,
My dearest dear,
For, never fear,
We always wiU agree."
"Suppose," said John,
As he put on
A rook 'tivixt gay and grave,
"That we may chuck,
such good luck,
A. roasted duck
To-day for dinner have."
"I don't agree .
To: duck," says she—
" And, therefore, where's the use
To have a dish
Of fowl or fish
That one don't wish--
I'd rather have a goose."
"Prefer a goose !
The dev—the deuce,
I mean—how very odd !
And such a bird—
I'd rather heard
That you preferr'd
A gudgeon to &cod !"
"Come mister Phyfe,"
Answered his wife—
" Don't you be quite so rude ;
.1 do contend,
And to the end
I will defend
That roasted goose is good."
"Come, come, my heart,
Don't be so smart :
Don't get as mad's a batter ;
If you refuse
Whate'er I choose,
Harsh words don't use,
For that won't mend the matter."
"Harsh words Awas you

Pepper's Uhost in Meng%
Professor Pepper's ghost has been
eclipsed in Chicago. An individual in
the rural districts stepped into a, store
on. Lake Street, a few days ago, and
while making some purchases, cast his
eyes down along the long line of shelv
ing and counters, remarking to a clerk :
"Mighty long siore this is, from one
end to t'other."
The clerk nodded assent, and the eye
of the countryman fell upon his own re,
flection in a large mirror at the further
end of the store.
"There's my.brother out there in that
'ere alley, sure's yoirlive, and I hain't
seed him afore in three years. Row
can I get back there ?"
The clerk told . him he would have to
go out on Lake street. around the corner
and into the alley. It should be re
marked that the clerk did not see the
joke, really supposing that the country
man had seen his brother through a rear
window. Rural went out, and after an
hour's search, returned and announced
that his brother had "gin him the slip."
Looking• down the stbre again, he ek
claimed, "I'll be darned if brother John
ain't there again," and down he paddled
toward the mirror. As he neared it,
he smiled
. ; his reflection cordially re
turned it, and advanced to meet him.—
Rural extended his hand, and the re
flection extended its hand. Just at
that instant Rural's hand came in con
tact with the cold glass . ; he started
back, rubbed his eyes, took a second
look,and' saw it. He rushed from the
store sWearliag that he and his brother
John were twins, and couldn't tell one
another apart, and the durned lookin'
, •
glass had smelled him in.
tEr Wellington was a bad dancer.—
On one occasion he danced with .a
countess, wbo could not conceal :.her
blushes it his ridiculous postures. On
leading her to . her seat, he remarked,
"The fact is, madam, my forte is not so
much dancing myself, as making others
dance."
(far An Alabamian, a few days since,
went out to see the depot of the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad. Near the depot
were several Irish ,draymen. Thinking
to quiz them, he shouted to one, "Has
the railroad - got in?" "Obe ind has,
sir," was the pronipt response.
!Er A woman who recently had her
butter seized by the clerk of the market
for short weight, gave as a reason that
the cow from which the butter was made
was subject to a cramp, and that caused
the butter to shrink in weight.

NINA EADIOND'S 0 FEE.
Golden curls and laughing eyes,
bounding footfall and a voice full of
ringing Music, a laugh like the chiming
of silver bells, and a tiny figure, lithe
and . graceful as the 'fairy Titania.'
'This was wy•love, Nina Raymond.
"Be your wife? I never heard of
such nonsense in my life f Your' wife,
indeed! I should as soon' think of
marrying 'papa' or brother Will', °r—
ev-- Why, I can't think of any other
masetiline so impossible'!"' '
This was• the 'answer to tut suit.
"But why?" I persisted.
"Why? Why ain't aVirlimarrY her'
grand-mother? I'll tell

but you were by to laugh and rebuke—
Oh ! Marston, dear„ go and make lOve
to seine foreign la4y ; but don't be So
absurd as to want to marry your'causin,
who has lived under the same roof With
you since she was a baby."
"But all you say only goes to prove
my, devotion."
"Devotion ! You snub ins quite as
often as you praise. Sesides—"
She hesitated
"Wen ?" •
"I am only sixteen, and I am not go
ine to accept my very first offer: And
then, Marston, you don't come within a
thousand miles of my bean ideal."
"Oh! I don't. Pray, desCt4be your
beau'ideal."
"Tall."
"I stand six feet one inch." '
"Handsome, with black whiskers and
the manners of a travelei. A man who
has not lived all his life in this miserable
cooped-up village, but has seen the
world and profitted thereby. One who
has mixed in distinguiihed society, and
learned refinement of dress arid manner,
and who can talk of something beeides
books with a. lady."
! Well, if you won't have * me
you won't. So there's an end of it"
I got up lazily'from the garilen seat,
where we had been sitting, and stiotled
towards the house. I saw her blue eyes
•
open with amazement at my coolness.
I did not enact despair for her benefit,
but my tilans laid for her future edifica
tion.
Two days later 1 bad left
. honis . and
gone into ilia, city for a visit. Nina
gave me a merry farewell,.ami did not
seem at all heart-broken at the prospect
of the seperation. If she felt _any ewe
tion, She Woe soon soothed, as the fol
lowing letter directed, to my new ad- i
dress convinced me :
"Dz&e. Meawrog- hero, has ar,.
rived. Such lovelyblack whiskers, not,
at all like your smooth face, , cousin•;-
such black eyebrows , and lashes=lours
are yellow. He has been 'everywhere,
has seen everything, speaks foreign lan
guages, and lies the most polished man-'
ners. He brought a letter of intro
duction to Will, so, of course, he is here
quite-often, and-seems very well pleased
with a certain cousin of yours:"
And so on the letter was filled up
with home gossip. I read it at the lit
tle inn of my native village, where all
my letters, redirected to' "Mr. Alonzo
Courtney," followed me. The black
whiskers lay on the table by me,- the
wig hung from the looking-glass, while
the, dyed eyebrow and lashes still
adorned my face. My fine broadcloth
snit, cut in the, latest city style, my
patent-leather boots, kid gloves and
dandy cane lay on 'a chair, while I
lounged, in dressing gown and slippers,
before the window, conning my cousin's
letter.' As I was engaged to drive,. her
out in an hour, I began my elaboiate
toilet. Every curl was in position, and
every fold correct, as I rang the bell of
my uncle's house, to which my fellow
conspirator Will had introduced me.—
No suspicion of my identity crossed my
aunt's mind as she gave me a polite wel
come, and Nina's blinded eyes saw only
in . Mr. Courtney the traveled dandy.:
"I trust I see the rose of Glepdaisi : in
'full health," I said, with a low bow.—

affectilm,.but would only hingh at my
proffered love, and`cempare me slight

had the audacitylo hint that her-heart
walked out ofthe door at his teparture.
I was half inclined to quit the 'ffeld ;
but I loved the gipsy heartily, and could
not give her up. LuCkily, I had a sun
stroke. Now, a sun-stroke is generally
not a fortunate [event, blit for me it
'opened the way to my present happiness.
I 'was in the garden, hatless and_busy,
&bent - some fruit which was 'being gath

dark, and 'I fell.
"Marston ! Marston ! Only speak to
me! It is Nina! Oh! Marston, do
speak to me !"
Hot tears fell fast on my face.' I had
been carried intothe house, and it was
the second hour of my stupor when the
words struck' my ear, muffled and dim;
but deliciously, sweet the dear voice
sounded in its agony. Thep Will said :
"I feel his pulse now, Nina. He is,
coming round. I will leave you here
while. I will,gp and find mother."
We were- left elone. I could not
'move, but I could feel her lieges rained
on my face r her, sobbing.regrets for.pest
unkindness, and , her low prayers_ whia.
pered for my safety. AAtest, I opened
my eyes.
With my head resting, on her : arm, my
face raised to hers, and- my hand clasp

married nearly three months -before I
told her who made her her second offer.
