WEST MILTON, Saratoga Co., n. Y,
July 6, 1861. 5
DIR. HosTETTER-Sir: l have long delayed
writing to you,my sincere thanks for the good
you have done my daughter. can truly say
that nothing but the kind hand of Providence
and your BITTERs have saved her from an early
grave. For three years have been doctoring
her with syrups and all kinds Of bitters that
have been recommended to me for her, besides
having two first rate physicians; but all seemed
to do her no good, while l was searching the al.
manacs and all the newspapers that could get
hold of, in hopes Of finding something that
would suit her case. Accidentally there came
part Of newspaper around some goods that l
bought at the Spa. In looking it over l saw 1t
glance that your BIrTERs was just what she
needed. sent the next day to Ballston Spa and
got bottle of your BITTERs. She commenced
taking them, and such change in one week
with her appetite, and the distress that victuals
occasioned and that burning in the Stomach, /
never saw in my life, as there was in her. She
has taken three bottles, and Is now able to work
all the time. think there is little derange-
ment Of the Liver. Please send me three bottles
more, which think will cure her entirely. We
and others thought she had disease Of the
heart, but that beating and fluttering that would
almost stop her from breathing at times is all
gone.
Yours, with respect,
MRS AMANDA MCPHERSON.

it. and the cures effected by his medicines have
been very numerous and truly wonderful. DIR.

Judgments Of Women.

In q conversation that l once held
with an eminent minister of the church,
he made this fine observation: ave
will say nothing of the way in which
that sex usually conducts an argument,
but the intuitive judgments of woman
are often more to be relied upon than
the conclusions which We reach by an
elaborate process of reasoning. No
man that has an intelligent wife, or is
accustomed to the society of educated
women will dispute this. Times with
out number you must have known them
to decide questions on the instant, and
with unerring accuracy, which you have
been porting over for hours with no 9TH
er result than 10 find yourself getting
deeper into the tangled maze of difficult
ties. 1t were hardly generous to allege
that they achieve the feats less by
reasoning than a sort of sagacity which
approximates to the rare instincts of the
aululdl SSt phOhO cSeiho w Nv
some ground for the remark of n witty
French writer, that when a man has
toiled step by step up flight of stairs
he will be sure to find u woman ut the
top; but she will not be able to tell how
she got there. How she got there, how
ever, is of little moment. If the con-
illusions a woman has reached are sound,
that is all that concerns us. And that
they are very apt to be sound on the
practical matters of domestic and secu-
lar life, nothing but prejudice or self
conceit can prevent us from acknowl-
edging. The inference is, therefore, I'M
avoidable, that the man who thinks it
beneath his dignity to take counsel
with an intelligent wife, stands in his
own light, and betrays that lack of
Judgment which he tacitly attributes to
her.

to him there, and had he occasion to 60
out, ON his return he went to bed again
to continue his studies. In his later
wears he dictated his writings to secre-
taries. He rarely corrected anything.
The sentences. issued complete from his
mouth. If he felt the faculty Of COM
position leaving him he forthwith
quilted his bed, gave up writing and
composing and went about his outdoor
duties for days, weeks, and months to-
gether. But as soon Is he felt the IN
spiration fall upon him again, he went
back to his bed and his secretary was
set to work forthwith.
Pascal wrote most of his thoughts on
little scraps of paper; at his by-mo-
ments Fenclon wrote his Telemachus in
the palace of Versailles, at the court Of
the Grand Monarque, when discharging
the duties of tutor to the Dauphin.
That book so thoroughly democratic
should have issued from such source,
and be written by priest, may seem
surprising.
De Quincy first promulgated his no
tons of universal freedom Of person
and trade, and Of throwing all taxes on
the land-the germ, perhaps, of the
French Revolution-in the boudoir of
Madame de Pompadour.
Bacon knelt down before composing
his great work, and prayed for light and
inspiration from Heaven. Pope never
could compose well without first de:
claiming for some time at the top of his
voice, and thus rousing his nervous sys-
TEN to its fullest activity.
The life of Leibnitz was one OF read
ing, writing and meditation. That was
the secret of his prodigious knowledge.
After an attack of the govt, he confin-
ed himself to diet of bread and milk.
Often he slept in a chair, and rarely
went to bed till after midnight. Some
times he was months without quitting
his seat, where he slept by night and
wrote by day. He had an ulcer in his
right leg, which prevented his walking
about, even had he wished to do so.

Habits OF Great Students.

Racine composed his verses while
walking about, reciting them in loud
voice. One day, while thus working at
his play of Mithridites, in the Tuiller-
les Gardens, n crowd Of wOrkingmen
gathered arou~d him, attracted by his
gestures, they took him to be mad
man about to throw himself into the
basin. On his return home from such
walks he would write down scene by
soslc. at first in prose, and when he had
written it ont, he would exclaim--''My
tragedy is done" considering the dress
ing of the acts mp in verse rs very
small affair.
Magliabeccmi, the learned librarian
to the Duke of Tuscany, ON the contrary,
never stirred abroad, but lived amidst
books. They were his bed, board and
washing. He passed eight-and-forty
years in their midst, only twice in the
course of his life ventured beyond the
walls Of Florence; once to go two
leagues off, and the other three and a
half leagues, by order of the Grand
Duke. He was an extremely frugal
man, living upon eggs, bread and wa
ter in great moderation.
Luther, when studying, always had
his dog lying at his feet, dog he had
brought from Wartburg, and of which
he was very foud. An ivory crucifx
stood at the table before him, and the
walls of his study were stuck round
with carricatures of the Pope. He
worked ct the desk for days together
without going out; when fatigued, and
the ideas began to stagnate, took his
guitar with him into the porch, and
there executed some musical phantasy
(for he was skilful musician), when
the ideas would flow upon him afresh
rs flowers after summers rain. Music
was his inevitable solaee Mt such times.
Indeed, Luther did not hesitate to say
that, after theology, music was the first
of arts. "Music," said he, ''is the art of
the prophets; it is the only art, which,
like theology, can calm the agitation of
the soul, and put the devil to flight"
Next to music, if not before it, Luther
loved children and flowers. The great
gnarled man had heart as tender as a
woman's. t,r .na zg-.i.,- e.s
Calvin studied in his bed. Every
