Hoohand's German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant is re-
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties of the Bitters. Each bottle Of the Tonic
contains one bottle of the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA CRUZ Rum, and favored in
such q manner that the extreme bitterness of
the Bitters is overcome, forming a prepara-
ton highly agreeable and pleasant to the pal
ate, and containing the medicinal virtues of
the Bitters. The price of the Tonic is $1.50
per bottle, which many persons think too
high. They must take into consideration that
the stimulant used is guaranteed to be of a
pure quality. A poor article could be fur
nished at cheaper price, but is it not better
to pay a little more and have a good article I?
A medicinal preparation should contain none
but the best ingredients, and they who ex-
pect to obtain cheap compound will most
certainly be cheated. .g ~ rE

Well, sir--I am that man. And

THE KIDNEYS


The kidneys are two in number, situated
at the upper part of the loin, surrounded by
fat, and consisting OF three parts, viz the
Anterior, the Interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve as deposit fer
the urine and convey it to the exterior. The
exterior is conductor also, terminating in
single tnbe, and called the Uterus. The ute
rus are connected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed Of various cover
ings or tissues, divided into parts, viz: the
Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and tho Mu-g
cous. The upper expels, the lower retains.
Many have a desire to urinate without the
ability; others urnate without the ability to
retain. This frequently occurs In children.
To cure these affections, We must bring in-s
to action the muscels, which are engaged in
their various functions. If they are neglect
ed, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that
however slight mas be the attack, it is sure to
affect the bodily health and mental powers,
as our flesh and blood are supported from
these sources.
Gout, or Rheumatism.
Paia occurring in the loins is indicative of
the above diseases. They occur in persons
disposed to acid stomach and chalkT concre-
tions.. F-f.. ~ ss=s

II. W. B., ON INTEsEsT.-No blister
draws sharper than interest does. Of all
industries none is comparable to that Of
interest. 1t works all day and night, in
fair weather and foul. 1t has no sound in
its footsteps, but travels fast. 1t gnaws
mt mans substance with invisible teeth.
1t binds industry with its film, as a fly is
hound in spiders web. Debts roll q
man over aud over, binding hand and
foot, and letting him hang upon the fatal
mesh until the elong-legged interest dovours
him. There is but one thing on farm
like it, and that is the Canada thistle,
which swarms new plants every time you
break its roots, whose blossoms are prolific,
and every flower the father of a million
seeds. Every leaf is an awl, every branch
spear, and every plant like platoon of
bayonets, and field of them like an
armed host. The whole plant is tor
ment and q vegetable curse. And yet
farmer had better make his bed of Canada
thistles than attempt to be at ease upon
interest.

The idea of general Shakspearean
commemoration is one in which the bet
ter class Of American citizens will take
especial interest We feel sure that it will
he universally honored, and that it's influ-
ence will be of the most refining and ele-
waiting character. 1t will create desire
with the coming generation to read the
works Of Shakespeare and to see them ably
represented. The annual festivals in the
principal cities, on the 23d of April, will
call forth the best and wisest men of the
nation, they will meet the good and great
Of the stage, and each will learn the true
value of the other. 1t is quite time that
'he men and women who give character to
the dramatic profession were more fitly
recognized. The day has long gone by
for press or pulpit to underrate the posi-
ton and power Of the drama. A national
"Shakspeare day" would do much toward
correcting the false impressions that still
!nger in some minds.
'.The pulpit orator may lift his eyes,
And with his finger pointing to the skies
lIuri forth his thunder IN the actor race,
And call the playhouse most sinful place.
Yet, let the preacher and the church remain,
To lead the soul to heaven, and to gain
Rich c0nquests over wickedness and sin
The outward signs Of excellence within
Shall we condemn the church, that those who teach
=" not precisely practice what they preach.
Belize there as bad men in the church
As ever lett the erring in the lurch;
And on the stage, perhaps there are as good
As ever earned poor old mothers food.
Then let the drama follow her course,
RebD king foley, showing the remorse
IN vice attendant, and the earthly pain,
That ever breeds where crime hath left a stain.
Religion and the drama, hand IN hand,
Might spread docility throughout the land.
This of the soul, the other of the mind,
Be thus the mission Of the two combined"

it she ever secures one. Learned wo-
men meyer make good housewives. We

both in this country and in Europe, but
not solitary one happy in her domestic
relations. Not one. The moment you ed
ucate one of the sex up to the standard Of
rare distinction, you unfit her for domestic
duties, you unfit her for her proper family
position. She must wed milksop and be-
come the head of the family herself, ,or else
her married life will be perennial scene
Of quarrel, petty chickering's and acute no

End of Four Great Men.


The four conquerers who occupy the
most conspicuous places in the history Of
the world are Alexander, Hannibal, Ce-
sar and Bonaparte.
Alexander, after having climbed the
dizzy height of his ambition with his tenn
Piles bound with ehaplets dipped in the
blood of millions, looked down upon q
conquered world, and wept that there was
no other world for him to conquer, set a
city on fire, and died in a scene of debauch.
Hannibal, after having. to the astonish-
ment and CONSERVATION of Rome, passed
the Alps, and having put to fight the ar
mics of the mistress of the world, and
stripped "three bushels of gold rings from
the fingers of her slaughtered Knights
and made her foundations quake, fed
from his country, being hated by those
who once exultingly united his name to
that of their god, and called him Hanni-
Baal and died at last by poison admins
tered by his own hand, unlamented and
unwePt, IN foreign land.
Cesar, after having conquered 500 cities
and dying his garments in the blood of
one millien of his foes, after having pur-
saed to death the only rival he had on
earth, was miserably assassinated by those
he considered his nearest friends, and in
that very place the attainment Of which
had been his greatest ambition.
Boaaparte, whose mandates, kings and
popes obeyei, after having filled the earth
with the terror Of his name after having
de.uged Europe with tears and blood and
clothed the world in sackolotb, closed his
days in lonely Punishment, almost literally
exiled from the world, yet where he cod
