Dr. c. n. JACKSON. DEAR SIR As consider
your Hoohand's German Bitters an invaluable
medicine, having witnessed their great curative
properties in several instances in my own family,
deem it duty / owe TO my friends and the public
to inform them of it in this manner.
& My son was a long time afflicted with the Liver
Complaint and debility of the system, for which
he had the services of several physicians without
avail. Finally procured bottle of she Bitters,
and through their use he entirely restored to
health. Ny daughter some time after exhibiting
symptoms Of the same disease, again resorted 70
the Bitters. L would state, by the way, that she
had for 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 one week was
able to nav visit to her friends at Chestnut Hill,
and soon became entirely restored to health. My
wife also uses the Bitters, and thinks there is
medicine like them. Whenever she feels weak or
nervous and her stomach appears out of order, she
takes or two doses, which Immediately restores
her.
Hoping that this may prove of service to my
friends, am

Edward Everett on Disunion--

blood and realizing the picture Edward
Everett, il 1851, drew in New York for a
large and intelligent audience. He said 4:

out OF the chaos Of the dark ages after a

Escaping the GuIiIniIne.

One OF the most striking incidents in the
history Of the French Revolution. is Tom
Paine's escape frpLn the guillutine. The
officers went around in the prison at night
and ehalked the ceIl-doors Of the inmates
doomed to die in the morning. But when
Paine's turn came, il SO happened that his
door was swung wide open, and the be-
heading oihcJal chalked the wrong side of
IT aud another official passing. closed the
door with a curse; so that in the morning
the deG:h mark was visible only 10 the
eye OF the prisoner in his cell, who tremb-
led, but said nothing, while the tumbrils
rolled on 10 the guillotine without him.
A similar incident is related by Varr-
hagen Won Ense, of Schlaberndorf a sing
uiar literary character, who had incurred
the suspicious of RobespIerre's party
Zone morning the death-cart came for
its usual number of daily victims; and
Schlaberndor7s name called out He i'm

behold !! his name was not heard that dav :;
nor the third day, nor the fourth, and not

ter. 1t was naturally supposed that he
had fallen with the other victims named
Tor the original day; in the multitude Of
sufferers no one could curiously inquire for
an individual: for the days that followed
there were enough victims without him.
and so he remained in prison till the fall If

recovered his liberty. He owed this mir
