DR G. h. JAoKsos. DEAR SIR: AS I consider
your Hoonanz's German Bitters an invaluable
medicine, having Witnessed their great curative
properties in several instances in my own family,
deem Il a duty owe to MY friends and the public
to inform them of 1t in this manner.
Ny was long time afflicted Sith the Liver
Complaint and debility OF the Bystem, for which
he had the services of several pnyEicians without
avail. Finally procured bottle q the Bitters,
and through their use he was entirely restored to
health. Nv daughter some time after exhibiting
symptoms Of the disease, we again Tesortcd 20
the Bitters. / would state, by the way, tat she
had. for a long time been suffering from Neuralgia
and her breath very offensive; she also
became SO extremely weak, that she was unable to
leave her bed. After commencing the use Of the
Bitters, she improved rapidly, and in week Was
able to pay a visit 10 her friends Chestnut Bii,
and soon became entirely restored 10 health My
Wlfe also uses tho Btters, and thinks there iB no
medicine like them. Whenever she feels weak OF
nervous and her stomach appears out Of ordor she
takes two doses, which immediately restores
her.

|ety. tits tue, bu! still it was ladder, not
Jacobs ladder, though,-ior, as the boys
looked at it, they thought that very probably
The devil used that same ladder to get in and
out of the old woman's room.
1T was getting late, and the increasing
darkness added to their fears: besides they
thought they heard groans proceeding from
the doomed top.loom, and they were just 90
ing to rum. when George s. A., fue little
bluc.eyed urchin exclaimed
What have ne to be afraid Of? The old

that would take her safe home to heaven if
she only believed it,
"' We'll, then, if you do, why don't you

George seemed to think for minute he
hesitated he felt half afraid to beard the
evil in his own den: but children, what do
ou think he did? Imagine you see the old
ader. Look at him now. Now he goes
over to it. No more hesitation now; no
moro uncertainty now. Nlc knows what
he ought to DO, and he Is going TO do it

around it, and with clear silvcry, chiId-like

And down he comes quicker, much quick

round on her miserable bed to see who spoke.

at the window; no ,e but bird or an angel
could fly there. She thinks and then, won.

" VI hat Flowers shall I Plant ?"

The above question is often asked in ref
crence to perennials and ANNALS, and we will
try to- answer as lar as the first arc concerned
ANIMALS can be attended to next month
and will suppose that hard perennials only
are meant The tender ones, such as verbe-
mas, must not be put out OF doors earlier than
May.
Peonias-The old double crimson is good
although common. l he Whityti, a white,
is also good. EagranS does not smell very
sweet aud Is {; poor bloomer.
PhloIeS.- Tue best way to get good col
lection OF say one dozen varieties OF the
phox, is to order as many from some re-
SponsbIc florist who keeps up with the times.
Many of the old sorts arc fine, but there are
SO many better new oues, that it is far better
to obtain them. Oue Of the very finest is
Madame Carl Wagner, an eyed flower of
perfect form.
PansteS are apt to die out in summer, un-
less special attention is given. When this is
the case, and the soil adapted to their growth,
nothing is finer than u good COLLECTION Of
htose flowers. If seed Is saved from fno
flowers, many good seedlings may be obtain
ed.
Carnations and Panhs,-[t will be time
enough by the middle OF April or first oil
May, to plant out carnations and pinks.
HolEyhochs.--Those who are only acquaint-
ed with the old-iashioned single holly hock
can have little idea OF the beauty Of tho i'm.
proved sorts. Imagine great spike OF BIOS
SONS, each as large and almost as perfect as
one of our finest dahIias, and SO closely set
together that they resemble great boquet
mo'c than anything else, and you have a
glimpse Of what the improved hollyhock is.
The coloring is rich aud varied the inner
finely cut petals being often of one color, and
the outer or normal opes another. Seed
from choice flowers is easily obtained, and
many OF the seedlings will turn out good, but
it is best to get u dozen Of the named sorts
Anturhtnums.-.The sharp dragons are
steady bloomers, remaining in flower longer
than most other plants. The common ones
that may be seen III almost every garden, are
very inferior to the highly improved named
Sorts.
Chrysanthe1aumS. For fall Towering,
these are desirable. For boquets, we prefer
the pompone or daisy varieties. Some OF
them bloom earlier than others, and be ore
any Of the larger flow cred sorts. Six of
each, varying in color, will DO to begin with
White, reddish, purple, PINK, yellow, buff,
and even a dull orange may be had.
Added to these soca!led florist flowers is
general collection of those not given to va
riations, such as Hemerocallis, Foxgloves,
Sprea Glipeudula, Clena,is erecta, and lilies
of various sorts but these latter are best
planted in the fall along with the bulbs. In
May, add verbenas, petunias, geraniums, and
all the bedding out plants thAt aid so mate
rally in making up good collections Of dow-
ers, and you have everything required in
this liue.--Ohio Farmer.
