HooFLAND's GERMAN BTrTERs
Is composed of the pure juices Tor, as they are
incidentally termed Ertracts) of Roots, Herbs, |
and Barks, making PREPARATION highly concen-
trated, and entirely from all alcoholic admixture
Of any kind.
Hoofand's German Tonic
Is combination of all the ingredients of the
Bitters, with the purest quality of Santa Cruz
Rum. Orange, &c. making one of the most pleas
ant and agreeable remedies ever offered to the
public.
Those preferring Medicine free from Alcoholic

Hoofand's German Bitters.
Those who have no objection to the combina-
uon of the Bitters as stated will use
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
They are both equally good, and contain the
| same medicinal viItues, the choice between the
two being mere matter of taste, the Tonic being
| the most palatable.
The stomach, from variety of causes such as
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility, etc. is

"The DAYS are Lengthening m

Everybody says these words in congratula-
tory tones. The face of the sun is turned
towards us once more, and is coming back
to us, slowly but surely, day bay day.
The minor tones of the wintry months are
over, the short sombre days which looked
out on us with pale, wan faces and dropped
down quickly, and were covered up in black
nights, are over now.
The sun is coming back to us, to call softly
the flowers from their long, sleep-as moth
ers calls their children in the summer morn
ings-to call to the sweet winds that loiter
away in the south; to the birds whose home
steads hang broken and dishevelled from
naked boughs; to leaves and grasses, and
buds, and MOSES; to streams locked with
keys of ice, and hillsides closely barred with
snow, and meadows wrapped in frosts; to all
these the sun is coming back, and shall come
to them, and To- the dead shall rise from
their graves, and stand forth to praise Him,
living and glorious, and clothed in grace and
beauty.
And like flower and tree, and woodland,
and hillside, may be our resurrection, read
er, under the Sun of Righteousness. For
us too, may there be the spring of growth,
and the summer of bloom, and the autumn
of harvest, when the angels are the reapers,
gathering the wheat into Gods garner.

Somehow he Hasn't PrOspered.

l once slightly knew a man, who with a
small capital, entered into the building trade,
at town in Berkshire. He was very in
dustrious, but not very wise, for while he
worked hard, he never seemed to think of
asking Gods blessing, and certainly never
respected His day; for he might be seen in
his buildings on Sundays, looking over the
mems work; and then he would employ him
self drawing plans, and doing odd jobs
Well, hard as he worked, he gained nothing,
for by the time his buildings were done he
was a bankrupt. He went into business
again at town in Surry, pursued the same
plan, not only worked early and late, but
Sundays too; and again with the same re-
sult-failure.
"How can it be?" people said. "Well,
he's hard master, if men can get another
employer they do, and he has to put up
with an idle set, for they know he'll cheat
them if he can, so they cheat him. -
''HOw do they know that?' said. "Oh,
he's no conscience, Sunday and working day
are all alike to him" Yes, there was the Sc
cret, no conscience towards God, and, there
fore, no conscience towards his fellow-crea-
lures, bad master badly served, and work
ing for ruin.
saw this same man, not long ago, enter
a half-built house, that he had borrowed
money to finish, and heard his hammer and
chisel going all through the Sabbath.day.
He looked pale, and worn, and dirty. Two
men passed along, and without seeing him,
noticed the building; they said; "Though
he's failed twice, he's begun again, but no.
body likes to work for him"
"Ah, replied the other, hard as he is,
somehow he hasn't prospered." As he
spoke, the words came to my mind, "Them

Virginia Military Institute.

A correspondent of the Dispatch says:
SIT will be gratifying to the friends of
the Institute, and Christian people generally,
to hear that they are now being blessed with
an extensive and powerful revival. About
month ago an interest was developed,
which has gradually increased until about
seventy-fve cadets, and fve of the assistant
professors now profess to have found Jesus.
No extra meetings have been held, except a
daily sunrise prayer meeting; but the In
terest has been developed in connection with
the evening prayer meetings, which have
been for years kept up at the Institute, and
which have for the past few months largely
increased in numbers and interest. The
pastors of Lexington and several visiting
ministers have rendered all the assistance
in their power, the Superintendent General
Smith has been untiring in earnest efforts
for the spiritual interests of the corps, several
Christian women have rendered most valua-
BILE aid, and the Christian cadets and young
converts have proved themselves, indeed,
recruiting sergeants for the army of the Lord.
All of the " first class" (twenty-:hree in num-
ber) save fve, are now professors of religion,
and as the interest is still unabated, it is
hoped that the good work has just begun,
and that ere it ceases many more of these
dear young men may be brought to Christ.
This statement will surely elicit the warm
sympathies and fervent prayers of all who
love to pray.

Womanly and Womanish.

In recent speech, Mr.. Gladstone draws
a distinction between womanly and woman
ish. The former is an almost reyerential
epithet, implying goodness, tenderness, fdel-
ity When n applied to a man, it conveys an
impression of goodness Of heart; of ma
ture anspOtted by the world, and of trust
worthiness unsullied and complete. "Wo-
manish is thereyerse of all this. 1t ItcOnveys
the Oriental or brute notion of women
puppets, coy, frightened, useless, and with
out soul or brain-creatures to be used as
playthingS by the superior animal and to be
thrown aside-beings whose humanity is de-
void of all that makes humanity holy. Such
are the womanish women of the sensualists
of the East; such is the contemptuous mean
ing the adjective bears here To speak Of
an Engishman as womanish, is to hold him
up to the bitterest contempt"
