MORE EVIDENCE.

The Hon. G. D. Hincline, Mayor of the
City Of Camden, N. j., says:
H9RandS German BitterS.-We have
seen many flattering notices of this medicine,
and the source from which they came IN
duced us to make inquiry respecting its mcr-
Is. From inquiry we were persuaded TO
use 1t, and must say We found it specific in
its action upon diseases Of the liver and d.
gestire organs, ond the powerful influence
IL eXerts upon nervous prostration is really
surprising. Ii Gains and strengthens the
nerves, tringing them into state of repose,
making sleep refreshing,
"lf This medicine was more generally used
We are satisfied there would be less sickness
rs from the stomach, liver, and nervous sys-
tenn the great majority of reai and imaginary
diseases emanate. Have them in healthy
condition, and you can bid defiance to cpl
denies generally. This extraordinary medi-
cine we would advise our friends who are at
| oil indisposed to give II triaI-it will re-
commend itself IL should, in fact, be in
every family. No other medicine can pro-
duce such evidences of merit"
Evidence upon evideace has been receiy cd
(like the foregoiDg) from all sections Of the
Union, the last three years, the strongest
testimony in its favor, is, that there is more
of it used in the practice of the regular Ply ST.
clans Of Philadelphia, than all other nostrums
combined, n fact that can easily be establish
ed, and fully proving that scientific prepar-
alton will meet with their quiet approval
when presented even in this form.
That this medicine will cure Liver Com
plant aod Dyspepsia, no one can doubt af.
ter using it as directed. IL acts specifically
upon the stomach and liver; it is preferable
to calomel in all bilious diseGSes--the effect
is immediate. They can be administered to
female or infant with safety and reliable bene-
fit at any time.

Two young officers were travelling in the
far West, when they stopped to take supper
at small roadside tavern. The land.lady
in calico sun-bnnnet, and 5are feet, stood
at the head of the table to pour out. She
enquired of her guests "if they chose long
sweetening or short sweetening in their cof.
fee." The first officer, supposing that "long
sweetening" meant a large portion of that
article, chose it accordingly. What was his
dismay when he saw their hostess dip her
finger deep down into an earthen jar of hon
ey,that stood near her, and then stir it round
in the coffee" His companion seeing this,
preferred "short swoetening." Upon which
the woman picked up a large lump of maple
sugar that lay in brown paper on the floor
beside her, and biting off piece, put it into
his cup. Both the gentlemen dispensed with

SILK.--The quantity Of silk annually
consumed by women and balloons is so
great that it is really astonishing how
worms and mulberry trees keep up the
supply. According to the Paris Review
there arc in France no less than 10000
looms for silk, Of which the products
amount to three hundred millions per an
mum. The fabrics Of Lyons yield about
or nearly two-thirds of that sum-a
moiety Of the whole is exported-,hree-
fifths of the exports are from Lyons;the
United States consume the greater part.
Competition is formidable abroad, es-
pecially in Great Britain and Germany;
but it was acknowledged at the Great
Exhibition, that Lyons retained pre-emin-
ence in designs and tissues. The 10000
looms Of Lyons employ lr5,00O individ-
uals; one half Of these are dispersed over
radius Of from twenty to twenty-five
leagues, the others are in the bosom Of
the city. There are 800 manufacturing
firms, embracing from $50 to 500 names.
The average earning Of he operative Is
80 cents per day.-Seientitic american.

Over Doing It.

A WELL known Methodist minister, who
was travelling on horseback, one noon Oh
sultry summers day, stopped at cottage by
the roadside, and requested some refresh
ment for himself and hsrsc. This was read
lily granted by the worthy New England
dame, SO tho parson dismounted, and having
seen his horse well cared for, entered the
cottage and partook of the refreshment
which was checrfully placed before him.
For some time back there had been no rain,
and the country round seemed literally parch-
ed up. The minister entered into CONVEX
sation with the old lady, and she remarked
about the dryness Of the season. "Yes,"
abe replied, unless we have rain very soon
all my beets, cabbagcs and cucumbers will be
good for nothing, and think all the minis
ters ought to pray for rain" The worthy
divine informed her that he was n minister,
and that he would be happy to comply with
her wish. He accordingly knelt down and
prayed fervently that the gates of heaven
might be opened, and that showers might
descend and refresh the earth. He then
arose from his knees, and having kindly
thanked his hostess, bade her good day,
mounted his horse and departed. But he
had not been gone more than an hour when
the clouds began to gather, and tremend-
GUS shower of hail and rain descended, and
with such force as to wash the contents of
the old lady's garden out of the ground

THE AMERICAN FLAG.

WHEN Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe OF night,
And set her stars of glory there.
She mingled with the gorgeous dyes,
The milky baldric of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white,
With streakings of the morning light,
Then from his mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol Of her chosen land.
Majestic monarch eff the cloud,
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumping loud,
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors of the storm,
And rolls the thunder-drum of heaven.
Child of the sun to thee tis given
To guard the banner Of the free
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The Harbengers Of victory!
Flag Of the brave thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope and triumph high,
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes glittering on.
Ere yet the life-blood warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet,
Each soldier-eye shall brightly turn;
To where thy sky-born glories burn
And as his sprihging steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance.
And when the caunon's mouthing loud
Heave in wild wreathes the battle shroud
And CORY sabres rise and fall
Like shoots of flame on midnights pail
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And covering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag of the seas on ocean wave.
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave
When death, careeniDg on the gale,
Sweeps darkiy round the bellied sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly back,
Before the broadside's reeling rack.
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly,
In triumph DER his cloaing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope and ONE!
BY angel hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
