Invigorating Tonic, prepared from

bined with a Pure Spirit, inn oved
and perfected by one Of our kera-
bic and eminent physicians dufing a
practice of thirty years, in the latter
part Of which he used those Bite,
Herbs, with unparalleled success, in
the treatment of internal diseases and
for purifying the blood. , Aa
They stimulate and regulate the
functions of digestion; impat vigor
and tone to the stomach strengthen
the SYSTEM, and are uneenalled as a
purifier Of the blood. By confirming
the usa of a wine glass full 1norning
and evening, and before meals, for a
few weeks, they viii afford convin-
cling proofs of their great medicinal
properties, and under the influence of
their health-restoring qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enjoyment ola sound body and mind
viii soon be attained.
From their purifying Influence,
the skin becomes steadily smooth and
bright, and they will gradually re-
move every trace ofteruption or in
fammation from the face, or body as
they progress inthe purification Of the
blood.
Viewing them simply as a bever-
age, they equal in richness and deli
cacy of flavor the finer grades Of
choice Champagne Wines-the bit
ter principle being only perceptible
when felt in the good work Of purify
ing and invigorating.
For the use of ord and Young of
both sexes they are ADM rablv adap-

A COUNTRY SLEIGH RIDB--The following
graphic account OF a country sleigh ride we
find in an exchange uncredited; but whoever
the author may be, we are confident "he has
been there and spent the evening""
"What pleasure in night sleigh ride
Good gracious! Six steaming, spanking horses
and a driver as furry as polar bear, his nose
just visible above the dasher. Two or three
dozen girls and boys uffed to their eyes,
slowed away with the hot bricks under the
butfaloes. The amicable fight of pairs of 10 vers
for the coveted back seat where are no curl.
Gus eyes to overlook the young man who, ty-
ing his lady-ioves tippet under her chiu, ties
his heart in with it; or tucking the buffalo
robe closer about her shoulders, forgets TO re.
move his arm after tn operation.
"What pleasure, Wi b the w3rm blood Ting

monds what pleasure, when snow DO " dered
trees, fences, and houses fly last like magic TO
the merry sounds Of 10 usical beils-spelt with
and without an e. WHAT pleasure, when the
country inn Is reached, where your supper
was poke the day before, and rolling out OF
your manifold wrappers, you lit to your lips
foaming glasses of hot 'mulled wine.' What
pleasure, when we gather round the table,
laughing at each others rosy faces and disc ISIS
oysters and fowl, and more 'mulIed wine till
bones and empty glasses alone remain; we
have good old fashioned 'blindman's bu #
or an unceremonious dance Ia our comfor ta bic
winter dresses.
"What pleasure, when after being deliciously
warmed and fed, we pile into the sleigh again,
nesting close to the Que we like est and tell.

look up at stars that never cleaned 50 bright
