GREGORY'S --
VEGETABLE BR ANDY BITTERS !! a!


A VAST AMOUNT OF NAUSEATING AND
Anoxious compounds having been thrust into the
market under the name of " Btters," il becomes
the duty of the PrOprietors and Agents for the
sale of the celebrated
Greeory's Vegetable Brandy Ritters,
to expose the fact and absolve tne"lscves from
giving tacit assent to any merit claimed to be
possessed by those injurious compounds. The
special qualities of GREGORY'S BITTERS are
to renovnte and invigorate the body promoting
activity in the digestive organs and consequent
ly cradicating dyspepsia and other similar com
plants incident to sedentary life. To all tray
eers, either by land or sea, to miners and others
whose occupation calls for severe muscular action
these Bittcrs will be found of invaluable service
The high standing of DR.. GREGORY, the discov-
ercr, was the first guarantee of its superior excel
lencc, its own uncquallCd merits has since cstab-
lished for il n Worldwide celebrity. Dr. Gregory
has for years been at the head of the Medical
Faculty in London, and twice President Of the
London College of Physicians and Surgeons.
These Bittcrs are composed Of carefully select
ed roots of fine tonic character and the choicest
brands Of French Brandcs, making them an
agreeable and palatabe stimuent, as well as
hcathful appctiscr. So generally are their mcr-
its admitted. that they are always to be found in
every respectable Saloon, Hotel, and amongst the
stores of every steamer or packet ship

The Logic of Mercy.

A friend says the Marysville Herdld) re-
lates the following little story
At the theater, the other night, when Mrs.
Haller was making the last appeal to the
Stranger, little girl turned to her mother,
with her eyes sparkling with tears, and said !:
Mother, it is so cruel for that man to
drive her away why don't he let her come
back ?
Ny child, she has sinncd and been wick
ed, and he cannot take her back y
But mother, hasn't she repented, and
havn't YOU often told me that must be kind
to those who have done wrong and are sor-
ry for it? O, wish that cross, cruel man
would let her come home Y
The mother was silent the chid's inno-
cent heart born logic was unansw cradle, save
by the convulsive quiyering of the lip and
the dcwy eyelash, Tho play went on, and
the child forgot the tremendous rebuke to
human, christian cruelty, which sprung from
her own innocent chld's heart l
But this is not the logic Of the world
Let her who has sinned creep timorously
and tremblingly up to the mercy seat of n
Just and avenging God for there she may
find mercy and peace let her speak to the
children at play, run her fingers through
their sunny curls, and wish herself as inno-
cent as they let her lie down to rest by the
she VOLTS der for it may be that the image
of God may make the wild beast pitiful (;
but let her not ask for pity at her sisters
door, with ashes on her brow, and the sharp
fangs of conscience gnawing at her hearts
life--for there they will say only, Peace be
with you 80 hence, and
Lie not down to sleep beneath the trees,
Where human tracks are seen.
And come not near the crowded city more
Not so the young child, with finger prints
of the Creators hand upon her brow, and
her young heart pulptating with innocence
and mercy To her let the repentant sinner
tell her tale of guilt and sorrow, for it may
be when the chld's prayer is heard kSM -
ven, the Recording Angel will blot ont the
record of her sin, and leanng his faco upor
his hands, say to the etTlers, Hush, she
prays for her errjHg sister =

INTERESTING GEoGRArHcAL FAcT.-Up to
the time OF escape, of the Russian ship Dwina
from the Allied fleet in the Gulf of Tarta-
ry, says the San Francisco UcraM, it was
supposed by all writers on geography that
there was no outlet from G uf of Tartary To
the Gulf Saghalien, and therefore Saghalen
is described upon all charts as O peninsula
The escape Of the Dwina from the English
feet in the Gulf of Tartary could not be ex-
planned except upon the hypothesis that the
CULTS named were connected by narrow
channel known only to the Russians. In
conversation with one of the crew of the
Dwina the editor ascertained that such a
channel exists, and that through it the
Dwina escaped, but that it is extremely
difficult to navigate, running as it does
through the sand deposited at the mouth of
the Amoor. Attbe time the Dwina escaped
from Castro's Bay, Commodore Elliott sus-
pectng that she had sailed for the head of
the Gulf, proceeded as far northwaJd as he
could in boats, with the hope of finding the
channel, but did not succeed. lie subse-
qucntly reported that there could be no
channel through which a ship of the small
est tonnage could be navigated 1t is now
demonstrated that he was in error. The
question is now definitely settled, and we
expect that any maps that may hereafter be
drawn Of that part of the world will repre-
sent Saghalin to be what it is-an island
instead of peninsula

How to Write for Newspapers.

We commend the truth which the follow
ing extract teaches to those who would cul-
tivate taste and accuracy in writing for
newspapers. The newspapers probably the
hest teacher, and where correct style is fol
lowed in writing for it, becomes the most in
structive and pleasant companion.
AS general rule, short pieces are best
liked. A gentleman in bank once told us
when we asked him to subscribe for Ger.
tain Quarterly Review Read Review
why, never read anything longer than a
tolcgraphic dispatch But l will take it
and send it TO my brother, who is minister in
the country The public like short article,
when it is a condensation.
This introduces a second idea. An arti-
Gle to be printed should absolutely have
something in it. If professed argument, it
should be conclusive if pathetic, it should
moisten the eyes if an anccdote, it should
have a sharp poirIt; il philosophy, itsh6uM,
go to the primitive rock ; if practical, it
should go like an arrow TO its work it
should awe the soul that reads it,
A good newspaper style is not as easy as
it seems. It's Scylla lies on the side of at
tempting popular manner, and succeeded
only in being more familiar than a man ought
to be at his own table, or degenerating into
slang Or become very childish. It's Chary-
bdis yawns for those who, stunning Scylla,
are determined to have real thought, pith,
and value in their writing, and so become
too learned, profound, or imaginative, or
philosophical for any but scholars or cult
yatcd people.
Nothing ever touched the heart of n
reader that did not come from the heart of
writer

THE BIRD OF THE ToIING BEu.-Among
the highest woods and deepest glens of Bra
zil, sound is sometimes heard, so singular
that the noise seems quite unnatural it is
like the distant and solemn tollng Of a
church bell struck at intervals. This extra
ordinary noise proceeds from the Arawongo.
The bird sits at the top Of the highest trees
in the deepest forests, and though constant
ly heard in the most desert places, it is very
rarely seen, 1t is impossible to conceive
anything of more solitary character than the
profound silence Of the woods broken only
by the metallic and almost supernatural sound
of this invisible bird, coming from the air
and seeming to follow wherever you 60
Tha Arawongo is white, with circle of red
around It's eyes. It's size is about that Of
a small pigeon.

TIE NOBLE REvENGE.--The coffin was IL
plain 9ne--a poor miserable pine coffin. No
flowers on its top, no lining or rose white

the hapess hopeless orphan, clutchng the
side of the charity box, and as he gazed into
that rough face, anguished tears streamed
rapidly down the cheek on which no childish
bloom ever fingered. Oh it was pitiful to
hear him cry, only once, let me see my
mother only once
Quickly and brutolly the hard hearted
monster struck the boy away, so that he
reeled with the blow. For moment the
boy stood painting with grief and rage his
blue eyes distendcd his lips sprang apart a
fire glistened through his tears, as he raised
his puny arm, and with most unchildish
accent screamed, When Pm man I'll kill
