themselves of the benefits of the Bath,

active duties of life.
Dr. Ell. does not profess to cure every
case of disease, but does afford relief in
all cases, and effect cures in very many
instances where everything else had fail

And when Abraham and the people beheld
the wonderful cures which were produced by
this drink, Abraham said. "My children
must not suffer; give me thy drink to drink,
and | will give it a NAME"
And so Abraham drank, and said there
was nothing like it,even in Sangamon county;
that it was bitter to the lips, but good for
the stomach and because there were bitter
times in fighting the masters of the planta-
tions, it shall be forevermore called PLANTA-
TIoN BITTERs and so it has been.
And the wonderful work which it has per-
formed is witnessed at this day in every
town parish, village and hamlet throughout
all the world.
And he said, "Let it be proclaimed
throughout the length and breadth of the
land, from the valleys and mountainous,
that all who suffer from fevers, dyspepsia,
weakness, loss of appetite, nervous headache,
and mental dependency, will find relief
through the PLANTATION BITrERs. They add
tone to the stomach, and brilliancy to the
mind, of which I, 0 people, am living ex-
ample"

Racine Theatre.

h6C1n6 lh66br6.
The Dramatic Club of Racine gave an en-
tertainment in Kimball Hall in this city last
Friday evening, and, all things considered,
gave very good show toa very poor house.
The two pieces rendered, She Stops to
Conquer and "Limerick Boy" we have
witnessed number of times, and have often
seen them played by companiessof aeknowl-
edged ability in worse manner than by our
Racine friends. The character of "Hard-
castle" by Mr.. Tinker, was rendered excel
lently, as was the characters "Tony Lump.
kim by Mr.. Hopkins, and "Young Marlcw"
by Cook Ely. Miss Tinker, as dolly" did
we'll. In the afterpiece, Paddy Miles" was
done in an excellent manner by Mr.. s. w.
George, though evidently not so wei! as he
could have done had there been good house.
Capt. Palmer Of Racine gave an exhibition
of his lightning zouave drill between the
pieces, and won rounds of applause. One
thing we wish to censure-the continued
filings at Kenosha made by the actors. The
few remarks of that character made at first
by Paddy Miles were good. and perhaps de-
served, but when the subject was taken up
by some of the minor characters, it lost its
charm for the audience, and was rewarded
with Kisses. We are sorry our Racine friends
did not have more generous reception-they
deserved BETTER 80 6 So tstewa

JOHN MERRILLS SECRET.

Among the heterogeneous crowd who
were to be my shipmates in the Amphion,
was specially attracted to slender youth
from one ofthe back counties of New York
State, who signed his name on the papers
as John Merrill. He was nearly my own
age, judged; and there was an air OF
quiet refinement about him strikingly in
contrast with the rude, boisterous charac-
ter of the majority of our associates.
These last were about an average of such
raw material as is recruited every day of
the week at the metropolis, and shipped
of to the whaling ports, to be manufac-
tured into seamen.
John was, from the first, retired and un-
communicative, though less so in his inter-
course with me than with any one else
He never referred to his antecedents,
though had given him my whole auto
