PARTICULAR NOTICE.
- -
There are many preparations sold under the
(lame of Bitters, put up in quart bottles, com
pounded of the cheapest Whiskey or common
Rum, 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...
done to' cause, as loag as they can be sold,
aundreds to die. tte death of a drunkard. 'By
their use the system is .kept continually under
the influence 'of alcoholic stimulants of the
wurstkind,- the desire for liquor is createi and
kept up, and the result is all the horrors at
tendant Upon a drunkard , s bile and death. Be
ware of them.
For those who desire and will have a liquor
-bitterS, we publish the following receipt:
Get one bottle Hoolland's German Bitters and
mix with three quarts of good Whiskey or
Brandy, 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 teas.
You will have allthe virtues of Hoofland's Bit
ters in connection with a good article of liquor
and at a much less price theft these inferior
preparations will cost you.

for the vemoVer• 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

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

ATTENTION, SOLDIERS.
AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS.
We call the attention of all having relations
or friends in the army to the fact that " Hoof
land's German Hiders" will cure nine-tenths
of the diseases induced by privation and ex
posues incident to camp life. In the lists
published almost daily in the newspapers, on
thearrival of the sick, it will be noticed that
a very large, proportion are suffering from-de
bility. Every case of that kind can be readi
ly cured by Hoofland , s German Bitterl. We
have no hesitaliot in stating that, if these bit
ters are freely used among our soldiers, hund
reds of lives might be saved that otherwise
would be lost. . .
The proprietors are daily receiving thankful
lettera from sufferers in the army and hospi
tals,who have teen restored to health by the use
of these Bitters, sent to them by their friends.
Beware of counterfeits ! See that the sig
!nature, of "C. M. Jackson," is on the wrapper
of each bottle.
Large Size, $1: per bottle, or dozen for $5.
Medium sie, 75c
per bottle, or dozen for $4
The larger size, on, account of the quantity
the bottles hold, are much the cheaper. •

I know a little hand—
'Tis the softest in the land;
And I feel its pressure bland,

As a dove might fait my brow
With its wing.

This dear hand of her I love.

How quick it is to spy:—
Yes, much .quicker e'en than I,

Twinkling like a star in heaven,
Veiled with sadness it was given,
As a taliman Was given
Me to save.
Well I prize, all eyes above,
This dear eye of her I love.
I know a little lip—
Very sweet it is to sip
From off that crimson lip
'Kisses sweet.
It returns them without, grief,

When ita lifetime now is brief),
Mine to meet.
Well I prize, all lips above,
This dear lip.of her I love.:
I know a :little waist--
2 Tis by all the fairies graced';'
They have there their own form placed,
Honored they.
When it in my arm is prest,
Wild with'pleasure there 'twillrest,
Like a dove upon my breaot,..
All the day. •
Well I prize,.al.l waists above.
This dear waist of her I love.
I know a little foot—
Very,eunningly,'tis put
In a dainty little boot,
Where it hides.
Like a shuttle it ever flies
Back and'forth before mine eyes,
Weaving music for mine eyes
As glides.
Well I prize, all feet above,
This dear foot of her I love.
I know a little heart—
It is free from courtly art,
And I own it, every part,
For all time.
Ever it beats with inusie. tone,
Ever an echo of mine own,
Ever keeping with, mine own
Holy chime.
Well I prize, all hearts above,

Monmomsm.—lt would seem that the
lately reported sehisin among the, Mor

following in the Cincinnati Gazette of
Friday : The copyright of .a book, was
taken out the other day, in the 'United
States District Court haying the follow
ind title : '"A Book of Doctrine and
Covenants of the Church of Christ, of
Latter Day •Saints, carefully selected
from, the Revelations of God, as given
in the order of their dates." ' It is, per
haps, known to most readers that there
is, a formidable schism among these
"Saints," the secessionists declaring
against polygamy, and contenting them
selves with one wife—at least one at a
time. An organization based on this
idea has been in process of completion
in this city for. e some time past, under
the leadership of Joseph Smith, Jr., and
Israel L. Rogers, who, in conjunction
with others, have published the book
above referred to. They say that they
have missionaries operating in Brigham
Young's dominions, who are very suc
cessful in making converts. Their
present rendezvous is in the vicinity of
Chicago, but they have purchased 30,-
000 acres of land in Missouri, where
they intend to settle when the war is
over, and build up a city forth habita

her down to a seat beside him.
"No," and his face grew sad, very sad,
