A good wife exhibits her love for her husband by trying to promote his wel fare, and by administering to his com fort. A poor wife44dears/' and "my loves" her husband, and couldn't sew a button on his coat to keep him from freezing. A sensible wife looks for her enjoyment at hoiiie?a silly one abroad. A wise girl would win a lover by prac tising those virtues which secure admira tion when personal charms have failed. A simple girl endeavors to recommend herself by the exhibition of frivolous ac complishments and a mawkish sentiment which are as shallow as her mind. A good girl always respects herself, and therefore always possesses the re spect of others. An Ihrbsistiblb Temptation.?The following naive promise was offered as irresistible temptation to a fair inamo rata: " I thank you," said the girl to her suitor, "but I can't leave home ; I am a widow's only darling: no husband can ever equal my mother in kindness." " She is kind," replied the wooer, "but be my wife, we will all live together, and see if I don't ?hat your mother." Thb Dutt op thb Draooxs.? One o* the Deacons in Kdward Dey's church asked him if he usually kissed the bride ?t weddings. 44Always,'" was the reply. ?? And how do you manage when the happy pair are negroes?" was the dea con's next queston. 44 In all such cases," replied Mr. Dey, 44 the dutv of.kissing is appointed to the deacons. ?7* 441 have heard," says Mr. Henry, 'of a married couple, who, though they were boih of a hasty temper, yet lived comfortably together by simply observ ing a rule on which they had mutually agreed?never to both be angry to gether."

While in t!,i? conditio. , I was carried to the watering plncr * in Virginia, Tei.ne <e<- ar:d North Carolina, hut was not benefited by my water to which 1 was taken. While on my ?va> hc.nic, I stopped a Hi'k at R.uhcrtor itoii, a ~nul t village in North i^^'ina, to try the rfl?ct of -ojjie Ubaiylteate wat-:r in that plare. About the a*t of the week, ! went into a drug store to gel some medicine for iny child and inysnf. There were several of the villace physicians in the store, and one of them seemed to lake some interest in my case and, after asking me some questsens, .said he had been a dyspeptic, and had been greatly bene fitted by the use of " Dr. Hoofland's German Bit ters," prepared by yu, and he insisted that I would try the Bitters He also called the next day at my room, and insisted so much that I would try them that I asked him to get me one bottle. He did it, and 1 commenced taking it as directed, and I do say [ was more benefitted by it than all the water and inedicine I had ever taken. After reaching home one of my neighbor* came to me for a prescription and medicine, (he a dyspep tic,) and i gave him nearly all the Bitters I had left, viifch effected much good in his case. He has often mailed on me for more of the same k nd of medi cine, saying he was more benefitted by it than any other he had taken, but I have not been able to get tny more for him or myself , 7 there Sire, please ship me a dozen or more as soon a? pos r.ble.

"Honflanri's Ger mnn Hitters'' have sured me of tlu moat stubborn and aggravated case of the pims that, perhaps, ever fell t? the lot of man My case is not a ctrang<-r in tuis community, as I am well known in this ai:d the ^rrounding counties, an J can truly sav that my re covery has astoundeo all my friends and relations, as I had tried everything reaoiniuecded, and nothing did liie any go*.;! until I was prevailed upon to try the Bitters. You are at liberty to make any H?e ol thi? communication, for th* b' nefit of the nflLcKd. you may think proper. Truly yours, WM. i. ATWOOD.
