Washington. d. c., May q, 1861"
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Nay 25 1861
10 the Father and Mother Of COL Ell
naer E. Ells,porh:
My Dear Sir and Madam In the
untimely loss of your noble son, our af-
Fiction here is scarcely less than your
own. 50 much Of promised usefulness
to ones country, and Of bright hopes u
ones self and friends, have never been
so suddenly dashed as in his fall. In
size, in years and in youthful appearance,
a boy only, his power to command men
was surprisingly great. This power, com
bined with fine intellect and indomit-
able energy, ana a taste altogether mill
tary, constituted in him, as seemed to
me, the best natural talent in that de-
partment ever knew. And yet he was
.singularly modest and deferential in So
clal intercourse. My acquaintance with
him began less than two years ago /; yet
through the latter half of the interyen-
ing period, it was as intense as the dis
parity of our ages and my engrossing
engagements would permit. To me he
appeared to have no indulgences or past
times, and | never heard him utter pro-
fame or Incorporate word. What was
conclusive of his good heart, he never
forgot his parents. The honors he labor
ed for SO laudably, and in the end, so
gallantly gave his life, he meant for
them no less than for himself.
In the hope that it may be Eo intrusion
upon the sacredness Of your sorrow,
have ventured to address you this tri-
butte to the memory Of my young friend
and your brave and early fallen sou.
May God give you the consolation
which is beyond all earthly power. Sin
cerely your friend in common aiflic-
ton, A. LINCOLN.

where the Wages GO.--SOber
"a Thoughts for WOrkimgmeIR.

Why is it that so many Of the fami.
lies of the laboring men IN our towns
and cities live in such poor, begga,ly
way, and in SO many damp, dark base
'ments, and up in such close, confined
rickety old attics ? MANY OF the heads
Of these families receive good wages, aud,
get their pay, every week or monsh regu-
larlv. L.! But where, in too many cases, do
their wages go!4 Not t" the banker. the
grocer. the butcher, the merchant; they
60 tor strong drink, ale and beer, which
do not strengthen the physical man.
Franklin taught the printers Of London
that cold water as better than ale: and
cold water has lost none Of its virtues in
l4O years. Z. = .' '''gs.@.' 's'st 's'
& The cost of tipping is in the aggre-
gate enormous. The inquiry is often
made how are so many drinking houses
sustained Let us see. Twenty men,
at 80 cents q day, will pay one Of these
"tippling shops SO 1870 year. A man
who pays 30 cents day for drinks"
pays $i09.50 year. This is the inter
est on SIS. .564 at per cent. at simple in.
terest. This sum, 80 cents day, 4
mounts in ten years to $l,l7l,95. q All
this is wasted, paid out fora''an enc
my that steals away mans brains" and
robs him and his tamilysof every comfort.
intoxicating liquors give neither strength
to the body, yigor to the mind resou-
ton to the viii; elevation to morals, nor
dignity to character. Strong drink drags
man down from his high estate, de-.
p.aves all his appetit.s, and leaves him
in want and misery, the mere wreck aud
semblance OF man. -gst5tH
The const =nt. #,aee of intoxicating
liquors . makes. hard times for ma
ny a man. thus, family OF FIVE
persons willconsume four barrels Of -four
d year, or 1856 pounds OF bread. This
is nearly, three pounds q day. Good -four
eau be bought now at 81 a barrel; four
times seven makes $28; and thirty cents
day for drinks is $lO9,5O, or ss1 50
more per year than the bread for a rami-
" Of FIVE persons costs. ''But," says A.
Il only take two drinks d day" Very
we'll; you pay, then, for your drinks $73
a year; only S45 more than you pay for
/ the bread consumed by yourwhole tami-

would provide tea and cvffee for them
Here, then, we SEE that the man who
pays even twenty cents day for liquor
spends a sum sufficient to supply his ia

1.-The weak eateth herbs" says ST. Paul. so
that eighteen hundred years ago the value OF
medicinal plants was appreciated In the Old
Testament botanical remedies are repeatedly re-
commended, but in no passage of sacred history
is man recommended to swallow calorce or blue
pill, any other mineral preparation. The SICK
were directed to eat herbs to strengthen them, to
purify them, to heal them, to restore them. In
that day the art ofmaking vegetable extracts was
unknown. The herbal medicines were mere in
fusons.
1t was reserved for later age to unite the sani-
tary essences of tonic, aperient and ambitious
roots, banks, and plants, with an active stimulant
and thus secure their rapid diffusion through the
debiitated or dlsordered system. The crowning
triumph of this efective'mode of concentrating
and applying the virtues of medicinal vegetables
was achieved in the production Of Hostett err S
Stomach Bitters. Never before had a perfectly
pure alcoholic stimulant been combined with the
expressed juices of the finest specifics of the veg
etable kingdom. Never yet though eighteen
years have elapsed since its introduction, has this
great restorative been equalled. It is taken at all
seasons, in all chimes, as the most potent safe
guard against epidemics, as protection against
all unhealthy exhalations that produce debility
of beget disease as aremedy for intermittent and
other malarious fevers; as an appetizer as a
sovereign cure for dyspepsia; as a general tonic
and invigorant; as gentle, painless aperient; as
blood depurent; as nervine; as a cure for
bilious affections as harmless anodyne; and as
the BEST Defence OF HEALTH under unfavora.
