JAMES A. JACKSON & Co.-Gentlemen:
AS you have communicated to the
medical profession the recipe of the
"Home Bitters," it cannot, therefore
be considered as q patent medicine, no
patent having been taken for it, We
have examined the formula for making
the ''Home Bitters, and unhesitatihg-
Iy say the combination is one of rare ex-
cellenoe, all the articles used in its COM
position are the best of the class to which
they belong, being highly tonic, Stimu-
liant, Stomachic, Carnlinative and slight
lylaXative. The mode ofpreparing them
is strictly in accordance with the rules
of pharmacy. Having used them, seen
its effects in our private practice, we
take pleasure in recommending them to |
all persons DESTROYS of taking Bitters, |
MS being the best Tonic and Stimulant
now offered to the public. .

"a FORTUNE IN HER 0wN RIGHT. Among
the matrimonial advertisements that have so ire
quently graced the columns of a certain New
York paper, there was one, some time ago, that
pointed an excellent moral. 1t represented gen.
tleman of social position, who had several daugh-
tiers for whose marriage he was DESTROYS OF ar
ranging with suitors who might prove acceptable
to them, severally, while meeting his own reason
able views as their natural supervisor. As an
inducement to gentlemen of property and stand
ing'' to seek their hands as equals, in this re-
spect, be represented that the young ladies in
question had each "a fortune in her own right"
As may be supposed not few responses to this
''want" were sent in. There came from wife
seekers of all sorts-good, bad and Indifferent
with whom ''disinterestedness' was staple pro-
fession, and "their money no object at ALL" As
each application was accompanied by two postage
stamps, the correspondence became quite pay
ing business-on one side, at least-albeit in
small way. But, as everything has It's end, this
game was at length played out.
pretended sutton, so soon as be secame salts
fed that he had the tolls of the law Of false pre-
fences ready for the conviction and punishment,
as we'll as social exposure, of the father of three
attractive daughters with fortune in their own
right" pounced upon bis retreat, with an officer.
OF course there was more or less of hutter in
the camp, for moment But the advertiser pro-
posed to convince his accuser that he had stated
''the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth" in his advertisement. Accordingly he
summoned the daughters to his presence
They promptly made their appearance, exhibiting,
by turns, fine, healthy forms, handsome faces,
and pleasing address, every feature and motion
indicating vigor of mind as well as of body, gen.
eral intelligence, and industrious habits-in
word, every personal quality desirable in wife.
Enumerating these one by one, and dwelling up
on each most eloquently, the "father" closed by
challenging his accuser to say whether such
qualities as these did not, indeed, constitute "a
fortune in their own right" on the part of his
pretended daughters ~
The moral is patent to everybody. But We in
tended it for the benefit of our unmarried lady
readers, and would exhort each and all of them
to cultivate the above described qualities of head
and heart, resting assured, as they may that she
who really possesses them already has "a fortune

LIVE AND LEARN.-Among old farmers, as
well as all other old people, there is q feeling
of being too old TO learn. Some object to read
ing papers and books on improved modes of
Agriculture they refuse to try experiments in
new things or old, because forsooth they are
too cid to learn; they give no thought to the
best light OF the age 70 improvements IN crops,
are too old to learn; they seem to think it
task to learn after one has seen the sun Of life
at its zenith. Now all this see-saw about be-
ing to old to learn is mere twaddle. While the
lamp holds out to burn one should always
strive to learn. Learning should be the bust
ness of life, and nowhere moro so than among
farmers Some old men have had right views
Of living and learning: Socrates when very old
learned to play on musical instrument: Cato
at eighty learned the Greek language; Plu-
tarch when nearly eighty commenced the stu
dy of Latin; Boccaccio at thirty-fve COM
menced the study of polite literature Sir Hem
~ Spelman commenced the study of the scien-
ces when nearly sixty Ludovice at lis wrote
the memoirs of his own time; 0gilby, the
translator of Homer and Virgil, was unac-
quainted with Latin and Greek till he was
past fifty Franklin did not commence his
philosophical pursuits till he was about fifty /;
Accorso, an eminent lawyer, being asked why
he began the study of law so late, answered
indeed he began it late, but therefore, he should
master it sooner; Dryden at nearly seventy
commenced the translation of the Iliad, and
his most pleasing productions were written in
his old age; Milton wrote his grandest works
quite old and our own Benton acquired his lit
airy fame after spending thirty years in con-
gress, and just on the eve of his election to the
great congress above. History is full of such
instances, and yet the impression everywhere
prevails that what is learned must be learned
when young. This is a mistake; live and
learn should be the motto of every one, and
most especially so in this learning age. Faith
ers and mothers should set examples of learn
ing to their children. We write especially
now for farmers; they have need to live and
learn, and in order to learn while they live,
they should secure and read the best papers
and books on their profession. Agriculture is
becoming science as well as an art !; it is
knowledge as well as labor; itrequires mind as
we'll as muscle to prosecute it. The farmer in
times to come is to be the genious ofintelligent
labor, by which the fields are to wave their
golden harvests, and human life be adorned
and honored.-7Ee Rural World.
