We seldom recommends manufactured medicine,
believing that, in most cases, nature herself perfects
a cure more rapidly and effectually than can be
accomplished by the vegetables and minerals Of
meaicai science. But in the matter of dyspepsia
there are chronic features about it, which very often
defy all the efforts of nature to create a healthy &C.
ton OF the digestive organs, and it not unfrequen.
ty happens that thousands suffer for years, disea-
sed both in body and in mind. from indigestion and
its kindred ills. Tosueh, Hoofland's German Bitters
prepared BY DR.. C. n. jackson, are truly a most
valuable preparation. 1t is a tonic medicine, giving
a healthy action to the stomach, and will be found
highly seryiecabie at all seasons, but especially
during the spring. Dyspepsia can only be cured
by a patientp in one courseof treatment

The EXPECTED GREAT CoMET.-The eminent
astronomer. NJ. Babinet, member of the Aca-
|demy of Sciences, gives some very interesting
details relative to the return of that great comet
|whose periodical course is computed by the
! most celebrated observer at three hundred
years Our cyclical records show that it was
observed in the years 1O4, S92, 6s2, 975-
again in 1864, and the next time in l556-al-
ways described as shining with the most ex-
raordinary bri!liancy. Most of the European
astronomers had agreed in announcing the
return of this comet in 1S4S but it has hith-
erto failed to appear. In fact it is not so easy
or simple matter to compute those vast cycli'
cal periods as some superficial persons-who
do not look beyond the day of the year in
1 which they live-may imagine.
We are, however, assured by NJ. Babinet
that up to this moment, this beautiful star s'is
living on its brilliant reputation" so that 81,
John Herschel himself was wrong when ht
despaired of its temperance, and put crap,
on his telescope! We are informed that ;
/ celebrated andaccurate computer-M. BONNIE
of Middleburg-with a patience and devoted
ness truly German, has gone over all previous
calculations, and made a new estimate of tn
seperate and combined action of all the planet
upon this comet of 800 years; and he ha
discovered that it is not lost to us, but onl.
retarded in its motion. The result of thi
4 severe labor gives the arrival of this rare an
renowned visitor in August, 1868, with a
uncertainty oftwo years, more or less; so tha

On the bosom of a river
Where the sun unloosed his quiver, as G 7.
OR the starlight streamed forever, ..r
Sailed vessel light and free; ..,
Morning dew-drops hung, like mamma,
On the bright folds of her banner,
While the zephyr rose to fan her
Softly to the radiant sea.
At her PROV, pilot beaming, .-.
In the flush of youth, stood dreaming,
And he was in glorious seeming
Lie an angel from above.
Through his hair the breezes sported,
And rs on the wave he foated
Oft that pilot angel-throated,
Warbled lays of hope and love.
Through those locks so brightly flowing,
Buds Of aurel-bloom were blowing,
Ard his hands anon were throwing
Music Gom Tyre of gold.
Swiftly down the stream he glided, v.l
Soft tho purple waves divided, +, g.. srf
And rainbow arch abided
On his canvas snowy fold. ..
Anxious hearts with fond devotion,
Watched him sailing to the ocean,
Praying that no wild commotion,
Midst the clements might rise;
and he seemed some young Apollo
Charming summer winds to follow,
While the water-hags' corolla
Tremblcd to his music sighs.
But those purple waves enchanted
Rolled beside city haunted s-
BY an awful spell that daunted ~ .7g
Every conner to her shore. zFl 7t
Night shades rank their air encumbered,
And the pale marble statues numbered
Where the lotus-eaters slulnbered
And awake to life no more.
Then there rushed with lightning quickness,
Ger his face a mortal sickness,
And the dews in fearful thickness i-'
Gather DER his temples fair. .',s
And there swept dying murmur
Through the lovely Southern summer,
As the beauteous pilot conner ...-,-
Perished by that city there.
Still rolls On that radiant river,
And the sun unbinds his quiver,
Or the starlight streams forever
On its bosom as before. s=..l-
But that vessels rainbow banner
Greets 10 more thy gay savanna,
And that pilots lutte drops mamma
On the purple waves no more.
