VINEGAR BrTTERs. great merit
of VINEGAR BITTERs has made them the
leading medicine of the day, and re-
spectacle druggists everywhere write !:
They are the best and most populor
preparation IN the market.'' They
have stood the test of public opinion
and won confidence. They sell rapidly
because they cure. If you are sick you
want reliable medicine. VINEGAR BIT
TIERS commend themselves to the ailing
and afflicted, as they are deficient in one
thing alone, viz: the stinaulant that
unduly excites the brain, and creates a
morbid thirst for spirits There is no
phase of Indigestion, Biliousness, Nerv-
GUS Disease or Physical Debility in
which they will not effect cure. In
valids who are wasting away from want
of proper action in the liver, stomach
and bowels, will find them constitu-
tiOnal specific, and fountain of vitality
and vigor as refreshing and exhilaratipg
as a cool, gushing spring of water to the
parched and fainting traveller in the

Authorship and Journalism.

If poet, or aspiring author, must
labor for the daily subsistence of FAM
lily, it is as well for his art that he
should follow some other calling than
journalism for can testify that after
the days work is over-when the brain
is exhausted and vagrant, and the lungs
pant for air, and body and soul cry for
recreation-the intellect has done
enough, and there is neither strength
nor passion left for imaginative COM
position. / have known a writer who
deliberately left the editorial profession,
for which he was adapted both by taste
and vocation, and took up pursuit
which bore no relation to letters hop
ing that authorship would proffer him
thenceforth the freshness of variety,
that upon occasion of loss or trouble it
might be his solace and recompense,
and that, with a less-jaded brain, what
writing he could accomplish would be of
more enduring kind. 1t is SO true,
however, that one nail drives out anoth-
err As an editor, this person was una
BILE to do anything beyond newspaper
work (; as business man, with not the
soundest health, and with his heart, Of
course, not fully In his occupation, he
found himself neither at ease In his
means, nor able to gain sturdier hours
for literature than vigorous journalist
authors fitch from recreation and sleep.
Fortunate in every way is the aesthetic
writer who has sufficient income to sup
port him altogether, or at least, when
added to the stipend earned by first
class work, to enable him to follow art
without harrassment. For want of such
recourse, poets, with their delicate
temperaments, may struggle along from
year to year, composing at intervals
which other men devote to social enjoy
ment, rarely doing their best /; possibly
with masterpieces stifed in their brains
till the creative period is ended mis-
judged by those whom they most re-
spect, and vexed with thoughts of what
they could perform, if sacred common
duties were not so incumbent upon
them.-Ednastsad .Stednaon.

Tax OH Bachelors.

A member of the French Assembly
proposes to levy tax on bachelors.
They are to be compelled to pay eight
dollars head, and 80 is the age at
which disposition to confirmed cell
bacy may be considered settled. The
revenue to be derived from this source
is supposed to equal two millions Of
morey. We do not know, of course,
what may be the feelings of French
bachelordom regarding this matter.
They will probably retaliate by pro-
posing a tax on babies. The most
maligned class of persons in the world
are undoubtedly bachelors and mothers
in-law, and the serious question is sug-
gested: Sc If there were no mothers in
law would there be any bachelors or
wouldn't every man be his own father
The United States, from its very name,
is conjugal country. And yet the
eligible maidens sigh for fashions be-
yond the simple tastes of their grand
mothers the ineligible lament the
frivolities of the giddy- heads d; the
divorce court is never idle; and things
generally are mixed. It will not do to
tax bachelors in this republic. Levy
a tax on extravagant daughters and
ambitious mammas, and bachelors will
soon be as difficult to find as volun-
teers during military draft.

THE public at large has probably no
conception of the number of fishing YES
sells which are yearly lost, with their
crews, on the various fishing banks out
lying our coasts. According to the fig
ures given by the Nautical Gazette,
there were lost in forty-two years ,265
lives and go craft of all sizes. The
value of the property thus destroyed is
estimated at 81, 145, 500. These are
formidable statistics to contemplate. A
very large proportion of these vessels
were run down by steamers and large
sailing ships during the prevalence OF
the dense fogs which are constant In
these attitudes. The Nautical Gazette
recommends the general introduction
of fog horns sufficient in volume to
be heard from one to three miles in bad
weather.

John Stephens sought his home that
evening with heavy heart. His wife
he believed confirmed invalid, or by
pochondriac-it mattered little which !;
one was as bad as the other. His
circumstances were of no avail. he was
doubtful even whether his wife loved
him. He opened the door softly with
his latch-key. This had become habit
ual j; seldom did the gentleman show
himself to his beloved wife until after
the dining-bel had summoned the
family to the dining-room.
A strain of music met and transfxed
him on the very threshold. Abt's beau
tiful song was being rendered, and his
wife was the musician. He was Just in

Curiosity overcame him. He opened

Who first inhaled their vital breath

And elsewhere dare not go:
Tradition was their patron God.

And what improvements we have seen

When Fulton first condensed the steam,
How little did he know

An angel night not know
The mighty wonders it has wrought
Since eighty years ago.
Beneath old oceans dark recess,
Where rolling pillows flow,
Fly kilograms with lightnirg-speed,

The numerous factories in our lands,
Do all combine to show
The genius of some cunning hands,
Since eighty years ago.
Religious heralds more or less,
Now flying to and fro,
All date their ages from the press
Since eighty years ago.
No mission to the heather world,
Salvstion's way to show.
No gospel banners there unfurled,
Since eighty years ago.
No Sabbatb-schools to train the young
In paths that they should go.
That glorious work was not begun
Say eighty years ago.
Napoleon First (Ah, who can tell
The blood he caused to flow),
He and his empire rose and fell
