Napoleon /.

''His face" observes the historian Niche
let, "was that of true comedian, and his
form unshapely, l know but two faithful
portraits of Napoleon. One is q small bust of
HOudon's, wild, obscure and gloomy, which
appears sinister enigma. The other is a
full sized picture. 1t is the work of David,
who, it is said, took two years to finish it,
and showed himself honest, courageous,
thinking only of the truth; so much so in
deed, that the engraver dared not follow him
in certain details, where truth contradicted
tradition. David made him such as he al
ways was, without eyelashes and eyebrows !;
his hair was thin, of an uncertain auburn,
which, in his youth, appeared black from ex-
cessive use ofpomatum. The eyes were grey,
like pane of glass, where nothing can be
seen. In short, complete and obscure i'm
personality which seems phantasmagorical
On the contrary, his mother, Madame Leti-
tia, in her italian portraits, is grand beauty.
She is indefinably mysterious and tragic
The mouth is cOntemptuous, hateful, full of
the bitter honey which is only found in Cor
sica. Her black and glaring eyes are, nev-
ertheless, enigmatic. If they look it, is in
ternally at their dream or passion. This
gives her the weird air of fortune-teller, or
of a Moorish sibyl, descended from the Garth
aginians or Saracens."

its wonderful effects, because for several years
my health has been declining, notwithstand-

symptoms appeared, amongst which Dyspepsia,
Palpitation of the Heart, Impoverished blood
and great prostration. Since January when 1
began the use of your Syrup, my health has
steadily and amazingly improved, so that now
it gives me great pleasure to recommend it to
others, and in this way to show my gratitude
for return of health. To all who require rem

CLAP-TRAP AND CANr-Invald reader, if
you are unwise enough to put yourself outside
of any of the mock tonicS guaranteed to contain
"no diffusive stimulant." you will inevitably
come to grief. Ask your physician if any liq-
uid preparation, destitute of stimulating prop
critics, is worthy of the name of tonic. He
will tell you no. Shun all such nauseous catch
pennies. PLANTATION BTTTERs. the most
wholesome invigorant in the world, owes the
rapidity with which it relieves the disordered
stomach and the shattered nerves to the diffu-
sive agent which conveys its medicinal ingre-
dents to the seat of the complaint. That
agent is the spirit of the sugar cane, the most
nutritious and agreeable of all the varieties of
alcohol. The medicinal ingredients of the Bit
ters, valuable as they are, would be eompara-
lively useless without this distributive basis.
They would ferment and sour. Beware, as you
hope for health, of the horrible compounds of
refuse drugs in a state of fermentation which
humbugs are endeavoring to foist upon the
public as medicines. jy15-eodlw&w1t

that their dear departed one has gone to her
true home compared with which the brightest
happiest earthly lot fades into utter darkness.
She was a Christian, and, in her time of
need she found her Saviour TO he indeed her
friend and comforter. She has left bright
testimony that Christ hath power upon earth
to forgive sins. She talked much and with

was going aud found continued pleasure in
prayer, especially in the use Of the "Lord s
