BRAKES PLANTATION BITTERS,
OLD HOMESTEAD TONIC.

They act with the power OF a medicine, and are
taken by old or young with the pleasure of a
beverage. The sale of these bitters was at first
confined to our extreme Southern cities, but
they are now becoming well known throughout
the world, and are recommended with the most
nnbounded confidence, for all complaints origi-
mating from GiSordered diseased stosach-
such as Dyspepsia, Licer Complaints, Nervous
Affections, Loss Of appetite, Intermittent FsrerS,
DiurrhRa, Soar Stomach, Headache, Fecer and
Agne, Weakness &c.
As a morning Appetizer, and after dinner
tonic, they are held in high estimation, and
should be found upon the side board of every
family.
They are also much relied upOn in the Tropics
for Scrofula, Rheumatism, and Dropsy. - .,

The Language of nature at:rsts tha: whoever
would enjoy the pleasures of food, the beauties
of flowers and landscapes, the joys Of compan-
ionship, the richness OF literature, or the honors
of station and renown must preserre their health.
And yet how ii:;le is il valued, and how care
lessly preserved. The stomach is the receptacle
of all lnourishment, and the fount ain from which
nll parts of the body derive their sustenance
When foul, injurious food enters the stomach,
acute sympathy dtsorganiZes all other organs,
and disease, more or less painful, must follow.
The laws Of nature cannot be violated with
impunity. Night Tsvclry, ix1nrious Hrin1 irrcg-
alGrtty Of meals, and GtSoriered appetite, tcfu
gradually destroy the po,cer and dctiUity Of the
stomach. Ho'c MANY ladies and geRtlemea eGt and

morning 'sith headache, loss of appetite, lr1uid,

Pdcitated 10 perform any mental physical duy,
md dream not this rs the beginning Of that horrid
disease,
which assumes a thousand shapes, and points
towards a miserable life and premature decay ?
There can be no medical remedy that will turn
lead into food, or poisoned drinks into nourish-
ment, but medical science can assist nature,
supply exhausted fluids, and to great extent,
correct the effects of disease, when the habits
are abandoned.
The Medical Faculty has exhausted it's re-
search for generations in creating appetizers
andoverconling stomaehic derangenents. Ger
tain ingredients Were well established as pos
sessing beneficial qualities among these were
CALISAYA BARK AND ST. CROIX RUM.
But still cOmponentS were wanting, and recn-
1arity could not be obtained. An i'm valid phy-
sician, sOjourning in the tropical island OF st.
Croix, observed the habits Of the natives, and
gathered from them the receipt for the final
accomplishment Of this most important end.
The article was first made and used as private
medicine. Its effects We're so salutary that it is

The Dying Soldier.

We have seen nothing from the scenes of
war more touching and sad to the Christian
heart than letters from devoted woman in
an hospital not far from the nations capital
She is the only pious nurse in all that asy~
lum of suffering many Others treating
lightly the souls salvation. She begs for
prayer and comforts for the body OF the
wounded and the sick soldier. She writes !:
The mufaed drum and fife have just passed
by my window, and their comrades have oar
ried to New York two beautiful young men, by
whom stood, and who in their dying hour
clasped my hand and cried aloud for mother.
One of them was delirious and in his last mo-
ments uttered the most beautiful prayer ever
heard. am witnessing scenes which at home
would seem perfectly hOrrid; and why is it that
can stand, even in the stiffness of the night,
and close the dying eyes, look after the crazy
man, and yet have no fears, and have entire
control over myself ls not the Lord in all
this2 Why is that my patients are inquiring
the way Of eternal life Has not God said,
s.Ask and ye shall receive" Will you ask the
church to remember the dying soldier, as he
offers prayers that are heartrsnding -
We have ventured to give this extract to
call forth deeper interest and more earnest
prayer, that God win move, by bis Spirit,
through the apartments Of pain and death.
and give soon to ell the victims Of terrible
war Christian physicians and attendants tc
point them to the Lamb Of God. ~ Boston

Punishm hment OF Children d.

An extremely wicked way of furnishing
children is by shutting them up in dark
place. Darkness is naturally fearful to
human beings, and the stupid ghost sto~
ries of many nurses makes it especially
frearfal to child. 1t is stupid and
wicked thing to send child on an er,

the dark, along road thickIy shaded with
trees was little fellow; but got over
the distance in half an hour. Part of the
way was along the wall of a churchyard--
one of those ghastly, weedy, neglected, ac-
cursed-looking spots where stupidity has
done what it can to add circumstances OF
disgust and horror to the Christians long
sleep. Nobody ever supposed that this
walk was trial to a boy of twelve years
old, so little are the thoughts of children
understood. And children are reticent. /
am telling now about that dismal walk for
the very first time. And in the illness of
childhood children sometimes get very
close and real views of death. I re.

myself lying dead, till l felt as though the
coffin was closing around me. I used to

But never dreamed of telling anybody
about these thoughts. l believe that

important member of very strait sect OF
the Phariseea, whose child, when dying,
begged to be buried not in a certain
foul old hideous church. yard, but in
certain cheerful cemetery. This
request the poor little creature made
with all the energy Of terror and de-
spair. But the strait Pharisee refused the
dying request, and pointed out with polem-
ical bitterness to the child that he must be
very wicked indeed to care at such time

be done With bis body after death. How !

This funny story is told in Washington

A few days ago the government detectives

denominations. They arranged time and
made descent upon the ~ ank," when be

with them. He said be was engaged in
crippling the rebel treasury, and thought it
was very strange he should be molested, as
be thought that was their weakest point.

officer.

"Ahw p said the detective, of course you
were not going to pass them, but you are
going to furnish them to the enemy"
The Yank" then owned up that he was
sending them down to food the South and
destroy the confidence of the people when
they suddenly found the whole country
flooded with spurious issue, and their only
circulation rendered worthless. An inves.
tigation showed that he had really sent sew.

Tennessee, and sold them at from thirty to
fifty cents on the dollar. The case was
duly reported to Secretary Seward, the
whole apparatus seized, and the man allowed
to go on his parole for the present. The
Secretary frankly admitted that it was the
toughest case he had met during the war
and he forthwith turned it over to the Sec.
retary of War, who has not yet concluded
what to do with the case. Samples OF gen~
