From Rev. J. Newton lirown, 1). D., Editor
of the EncyclopediaOf Religious Knowledge.
Although not Ciaposed to favor or recommend
Patent Medicines in gennral, through diAlubt
f their ingtedientS and effects; 1 yet know
of no suttici •ut reason why a man may not tes
tify to the benefits he hefieves himaeit to have
received from any simple preparation, in the,
hope that he may thus cOuilitnite to the bene,-
fit of others.
I do this more readily in regard to Hoofland'S
German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. I, Jackson
because I was prejudiced 'agiiinat them fair
number of years, under the Impression that
they were chiefly au alcoholic: mixture. lam
indebted to my friend itob'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 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 1 had not felt
for six months before, and had altboat dispair
ed of regaining:. I therefore thank God and
my friend for directing me to the use of them.

Story of a Pin
Many years ago, a lady in Paris was
going outto walk the gay streets of the
city, to see the new and beautiful goods
hanging so tempting in the windows,
and yerhaps to buy a few trifles. When
all ready to go ~..out, she noticed that
some part of her dress seemed to hang
awry, and so she snatched a pin from its
paPer and thrust it in her dress. The
poor pin felt that he was lost and almost
smothered fur the first hodr, but after a
while, he began to work his way out, so
that his head was in sight.
"Now," says he, "I can see it all. I
have nothing to do but to ride through
these streets and see all; the beautiful
things, and enjoy myself."
Pretty soon the lady met some gen
tlemen, and they took of their hats and
bowed very low.,
"Ah !" says, the little pin, "was not
all that to me? I'm sure they looked
directly at me when they bowed ! My
bead is bright, and perhaps they thought
me a cosily diamond! Who knows ?"
And then the pin began to thrust his
head tip higher, and to look about with
an air orgreat satisfaction. 'lt seemed
to him'that.all the people hadcome' out
in their best clothes and in their car
riages for him to look at, and that he
was the most important thing in all
Paris. He felt that his mistress was
walking out for his sake, and had placed
him up near her neck so that everybody
could 'see him. Poor pin 1 He had
much to learn. ..
BY-and=by, as the lady was walking
through a street on which•none but the
rich lived, the pin thought he would
stretch up his-head high enough to peep
into the window, when he lost his bal
ance ,and . He cried with a very
tiny, jingling, tinkling sound as his head
struck the sidewalk.. He lay still, ex
pecting that alt the passers weuld stop
and,gqze at him, and
,especially that his
mistress would miss him and come back
after him. But she passed on, and all
the - rest'passed on, and nobody stopped.
Presently a heavy foOt trod on
Then another,and another, and at length
the foot ef a dirty beggar trod on him !
"0," cried. he, have I come to this?
Alas I Lind I was nothing, am nothing
poor, useless, despised, forgotten
pin !! No human eye, will ever look on
me again. I must, rpst , and perish be
tween the ; bricks of this sidewalk !"
Just then a youug man came out 0.1
one of those rich houses. Ho had gone
in to sea if the rich bithlier who lived
there, could not give him employment
as a clerk. The banker said "No, I
have 'now more clerks than I really
need." The young man was disiiiipoiitt
ed, and as' he came out, he paused a Mo.
inent,And then saw the little pin lying
on the sidewalk. So he stooped down
and picked it up and stuck it on his
sleeve. Careful, saving young man !
Many : would ,have _despised thee
~for
saving : a pia.! But; it was, the .making
of thee!
The ~rich; banker was looking out of
his w:i,n'Alow and, saw him pick up and,
savu the piu,
-That yeunff man," said he to him
self, "will make a careful, prudent man
of business. I will have him."
So he sent for the young man and
took him into his employ. Eventually
the young man became a partner, and
then at the head of the bank, and event
ually one of the very richest and great
est men in France. "
When the little pin learned how much
good he had - 'done, he was very glad ;
but he had the good' sense to see that
it was - divine Providence and not be,
who had ,done all this. It was not be•
cause he was great or bright or could
make his voice heard, but because God
can make a pin teach, and the welfare
of a man for life may turn upon the mere
picking up of h pin 1 . He was thorough
ly humbled, and all his descendants
since, have been willing to be stuck and,
thrust. everywhere,—just , as willing to
hold the, ,rags over the shoulder of a
beggar, as the rich cashmere shawl, on a
princess. Who can tell on how small ,a;
thing great interest may turn? They
seem small to us, but with Him, there
is nothing S'inalr and nothing great. A
pin and a kingdom are alike, mere no
thing.,
kir Duping a marriage ceremony the
brifje was sobbing immoderately while

A SWEAR/NG CAR.—Communications
published in religious journals are gea r
erally on the "dry-as-sticks" order; but
there.is one in current number of the
Presbyterian, under the title of "A Swe
aring Car" that forms a happy exception
to the ruler In it the writer' suggests
that iu our day the traveller has almost
every comfort—that we have in our
rail-way trains a comfortable bed for
those who would sleep at night, and the
cooling fountain for those who would
slake their thirst; that one who wishes
can smoke, while another, to whom it is
offensive, can be free from the fumes of
the weed; but that, at this day, we are
greatly in need of one thing more—vid-
elicit, a car assigned to swearers; that if
such a rule were adopted, half the cars
in a train might, possibly be required;
that in fact it might be well to devote
one or two whole trains a day to this
particular purpose, as we now have a
milk train and market train on some
roads; that drunkards, might with pro
piety also be included in the drinking
trains, as drunkards generally swear;
that,although the writer is not a Cath
olic, he became a convert to the belief
in a purgatory on a recent trip from
York to Baltimore, from the incessant
profanity to which his car was subjected
and that, too, in great part, after jest
having escaped death almost miraculou
sly in a collision on the road; that such
a car should at ohce be put on all the
trains, with the specific notice posted,
"No swearing in this car," "Swearing
positively prohibited," or something to
that effect; and that the rule be strictly
enforced, even 'to the expulsion from the
train, if need be,ofthose who violate it.
TWO ROGUES INSTEAD OP ONE.—An
amusing incident is 'related of a woman
in England, whose husband, a wealthy
man, died suddenly without leaving any
Will.- The widow, desirous of securing
the whole property, concealed her hus
band's death,tiad persuaded a poor shoe
maker to take his place'vibile• a will
codld be made. - Accordingly' he was
closely muffled up in bed as if very sick,
and a lawyer -was called to write the
will. The shoemaker in a feeble voice
bequeathed half of all the property to
the widow. "What shall be done with
the remainder?" asked the lawyer.—
"The remainder," replied he, "I give and
bequeath to the poor little shoemaker
across the street, who has always been a
good neighbor and a deserving man ;"
thus securing a rich bequest for himself.
The widow was thunderstruck with the
man's audacious cunning, but did not
dare expose the fraud ; and so too
rogues shared the estate.
A USEFUL El Eszvro ORM KEEPERS.---
A gentlemen who has tried the plan suc
cessfully for five years, communicates:the
annexed method of preventing horse
from chafing under the collar. He says
he 'gets a piece of leather and has what
he terms a false collar made, which is
simply a piece . of leather cat in such a
shape as to lie snugly between the shoul
ders of , the horse and the collar. This
fends off all the friction, as the collar
slips and moves on` the leather, and trot
on the shoulders of the horse. Chafing
is caused by the "friction:hence you see
the thing is entirely plausible. Some
pit Pads or sheepskin andel. the Collar,
but these do as Much hurt as good, for
they augment tlie heat. A single piece
of leather like that cemposing the out
side of a collar, is sufficient.
FRIED POTATOES. - How very few
cooks know.how,to fry. potatoes. There
is nothing so easy to get and yet so pal
atable for breakfast, with a thick, tend
der beaf-steak, or a mutton chop fizzing
from the gridiron. To fry raw potatoes
,1•1
properly, they should be pared, cut
length-wise into slices an inch in thickness
dropped into a pan over the fire, contain
ing hot beef drippings, turned frequent
ly, nicely browned all over but never
burned- Addition of a littl'e salt and
pepper, while in the pan, and a little
dour dredged over them, is an improve
munt.-4So says some anonymous bat
sensible cook.]
ow I clasped her tiny hand in mine;
I embraced her beauteous form; I vow
ed to shield her from the wind, and
from the world's cold storm. She set her
beatiteons'eyes on me; the tears did

said, "Oonfoubd you, let me go."

GOING IVITII rue GIRI.S.—The entrance
into society may be said to take place im
mediatelyafter boyhood has passed away
yet a multitude take their initiative be
fore their beards are presentable. It is a
great trial either for a tender or a riper
age.. For an over-grown boy to go to a
door, knowing well that there are a doz
en girls inside, and knock or ring, with
an absolute certainty that in a few mo
ments all eyes will be upon him, is a se
vere' test of courage. To go before these
girls and make a tour of the room with
out steppieg on'their toes, and sit down
and dispose of his hands without putting
them in his Pockets, is an achievement
which few boys can boast. If a boy can
go so far as to measure off ten yards of
tape with one of the girls, and cut it off
at each end he may stand a chance to
pass a pleasant evening. Let him not
flatter himself that the trials of the eve
ning are over. Then comes the breakkg
up. The dear girls don their hoodsand put
on their shawli, and look saucy and mis
chievous, so uuimpressible and indepen
dent, as if they did not wish anybody to
go home with them. Then comes the
pinch and the boy who has got the most
pluck goes up to the prettiest girl in the
room, with his tongue clinging to the
roof of his mouth, and , crooking out his
elbow, stammers out the words, "shall
I see you home ?" She touches her fin
ger to his arm, and they walk home, feel
ing as awkward as two goslings.
SusNext:ff.—The use of surnames was
net general in England till after the
Reformation. Washington's ancestors
settled first at Herbert, and the in.di
viduals were known as John de Herbert,
that is John of Herbert, Thomas de
Herbert, &c. Afterward one branch of
the family moved to Wessington, when
they were known as "of Wessington,"
Or de Wessington," and this became
corrupted into the family name of Wash
inaton. So late as the beginningof the
18th century some families of Yorkshire
had no fixed surnames. Even at this
day it is said that few of the miners of
Staffordshire bear their fathers' names,
but are only known by some sobriquet.
Nicknames are in general use, and a man
whose real name is Peter Jones may be
known to his neighbors, and even to his
wife and children, only as "Soaker,"
"Nosey," "Lumper," or some similar
designation.
Respecting the finger nails the
Jewish rabbinical doctors entertained
some singular notions. It was their
belief that, antecedent to the fall,
the bodied of our first parents were per
fectly transparent, and that of these lu-
Cid envelopes of the soul, the nails are
the sole surviving remains. The great
divine, Origen, it is known, was posses
sed by a belief somewhat similar ; and
held that, in the first instance, Adam and
Eve . were,corpereally, beings of radiant
light, and that the coats of skin after
wards bestowed on them, we re no other
than the habiliments of flesh, muscle, and
one'
-- 4 ' 4 muddy iestureof decay"—in which
we, their descendants, present ourselves
at the present day. In the nails, how
ever, unlike the Talmndists, Origen does
not recognize the rags of man's better
estate.
ar One evening a clergyman gave
out the hymn which was in a measure
rather tiarder than usual, and the deacon
led off. Upon its conclusion, the minis
ter rose and said, "Brother B— will
please repeat his hymn, as I cannot pray
after such singing." The deacon very
composedly pitched into another tune,
and the clergyman proceeded with his
prayer. Having finished, he took up
the book- to give the second hymn, when
he was interrupted by the deacon grave
ly getting up and saying in a voice audi
ble to the whole congregation : "Will
Mr. 0— please make another prayer ?
It would be impossible for me to sing
after such praying as that."
