lei Vino CataIfna.-The announcement

Eel Vino G'ataliHa.-The announcement
that has been SO generally heralded throughout
tho country that IN American company has again
commenced importing this celebrated WINE
Tonic is u matter of no small Importance and
will be hailed with joy by all those seeking a
pure and inVigorstng tonic: also, those %ho
need q pure, pleasant and refreshing stlmulant
will find in the FL Vino Catalina or Browns
Catalina Wine Tonic, what they want. 1t will
be remembered that importatlons were made IN
1866 of this noted brand, but in consequence OF
the high duty then demanded by this govern
ment, the enterprise ceased, to the regret OF
thousands who had learned its value. 1t is the
oldest tonic in the world, and doubtless the most
invigorating, the purest ard best, and If lmp0r-
taton continues at the rates now started, 1t will
take its place in every family in this rs well MS
in the old countries. Its merits Will make 1t q
household article, and we hope that every one
who has ever used any Bittcrs or common patent
tonic, will ut least try one bottle ofthe Catalina,
and then decide for themselves whether they
will use this Tonic, prepared from the pure
juice of the Cata lima grape, with Cnllsaya ana
the spices Of Ceylon, or bitters made OF com
mon whiskcy and bitter field herbs. This is an
invaluable preparation for weakness ard debli-
ty; it relieves morning languor and gives fresh
ness and appetite, not followed by al unpleasant
reaction.
1t cures Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Costiveness,
Bilious Decangements, Cramp CollG, Flatu-
Morning Sickness, Chills and Feyers, Headache,
Nervous 1rritabiity, Armenia. Heart Disease,
Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Diseases
of the Skin, and all Eruptions either caused by
ether diseases or impurity of the blood. As u
Tonic in Consumption, it has no superior Of
which thousands believe themselves to have
been cured by its use. We do not claim that it
will cure Consumption, but we are sure that it
will prevent it if taken freely in time:

days ago, not far from jackson, and got shaved.
His beard was tough, and the shave made his
face little sore The barber; as usual appli.
jumped from his chair, bowling like Canaan,

demanded what in the he'll was that?' The
terrified barber replied, bay rum, sir, and it
will feel ghty good after awhile. =" Anything

never to pat that stuff on his face again. y

from the Pharmacoppia This is an evil, and
proves that the practice Of medicine is far from

of the year, when the fall of the leaf indicates
that decay has seized upon the vegetable KING

Chief among these may be mentioned intermit-
tent fever and bilious rcmittent The exhala,

the heavy dews and fogs, are very apt to gcner-
ate these complaints The wisest policy is to
protect the system by Il course of Hostetter

But if the disease has already begun, its perlodl-

broken up by this active, yet harmless, vege-

man advertised for boy to assist him in his
Office, and nearly fifty applicants presented
themselves to him. Out Of the whole number,
he, in short time, selected one and dismissed
the rest.
II should like to know" said friend, ''on
what ground you selected that boy, who had
notca single recommendation.
You; are mistaken, said the gentleman,
he had great many. He wiped his feet
when he came in, and closed the door after him,
showing that he was careful. He gave up his
seat instantly to that lame old man, showing
that he was kind and thoughtful. He took off
his cap when he came in, and answered my
questions promptly and respectfully. showing
he WAS polite and gentlemanly. He picked
up the book which had purposely laid upon
the floor, and replaced it on the table; while all
the rest stepped over it or showed it aside,
and he waited quietly for his turn instead of
pushing and crowdng, showing that he was
honest and orderly. When | talked with him
I noticed that his clothes were carefully brush
I'd; his hair in nice order, and his teeth as white
as milk, aud when he wrote his name, motto
ed that his finger nails were clean, instead Of
being tipped with jet, like that handsome little
fellow in the blue Jacket. Don't you call
those things letters Of recommendation DO,
aud would give more for what can llabout
boy by using my eyes ten minutes than all the
fine letters he can bring me.

Pride. Turncuts. and Poverty. at the
Waterin" Places.

Hdttlt uS EldttSs
We clip the following from a Long
Branch letter to the New York Adver-
1 tiser:
Man wants but little here below, and
| the woman wants great deal more, |
am sorry to say. | confess it, my sex
are unreasonable and hard to please.
| speak of them generally. There are
eXceptions-you occasionally meet one
who is not ambitious of living above
her husbands means. You see more of
them at Summer resorts than at any
other place, These people will talk no
matter where they are - they will ex-
hfbit their temper and bad breeding, no
matter where you meet them. Try to
dam Niagara with lady's fan, but
never try to stop her tongue, l say it,
who shouldn't say it, it can't be done.
| have case in point just before the
arrivals from New York the other after
noon Mr. - and Mrs. - were seated
on the piazza as Mrs. F. -, from
Continental, drove by III her carriage
and livery
Charles" said the wife, gazing
wistfully at Mr.. Els establishment,
"Why can't we have carriage as well
as other folks 2"
The husband moved uneasily in his
chair and responded, ?" Simply my dear,
because We want to live within our
means.
Bother about means !" reioined the
naughty and thoughtless wife. 1--WE
ought to live us well as other people, -
she continued
$50 we do, my dear, and will in the
long run, mildly added the good-nat-
ured Charles.
Il am sure we ought to live in as
good style as the SIS, the F---s,
the Ms, the P-s, the C---s,
and dozen more l might mention
We ought not to appear mean"
Mean he exclaimed, showing
much temper" We want-we want, "
he muttered, "there is no satisfying
woman's wants, do what you may" and
he abruptly arose from his chair and
took the direction of Chamberlain
Cottage.
How many husbands are in a similar
dilemma? How many houses and hus-
bands are rendered uncomfortable by
the constant dissatisfaction of wife
with present provisions? How many
bright prospects for business have end
ed in bankruptcy and ruin in order to
satisfy this secret bankering after fash
ionable necessaries! Could the real
cause of many failure be made known
it would be found to result from the
ambition of women to live above their
means.
+ my wife made my fortune" said
Mr., D, agentleman of great posses
sions, the other evening, "by her thrift,
prudence, and cheerfulness when was
just beginning"
"And mine, poor soul she is dead, "
said Mr.. R, widower; :" lost my
fortune by useless extravaganza and re-
plning when | was doing well. p"
What world does this open to the
influence of our sex over the future
prosperity of their families. Let the
wife know her influence and try to use
it wisely.
