Jackson : Dear Sir?F^r the past two years I have been severely afflicted with Liver Com Slaint, Dyspepsia, Bilious Diarrhoea, and Piles, sut uring in a great degree constantly, the pains and in conveniences attendant upon such diseases, without energy, being scarceiy able to attend to any bud uess.

I tried one bottle of your German Bitters, which entirely cured me. I have used two bottle*. I sent two bottles 160 miles from here to a friend who had been sick for a long time; he ha1'also been cured by them. I believe them to be superior to any medicine now in use." K, B.

THE LOST FOUND AMD RESTORED A SKETCH FBOX l.U'E. "You have just returned, friend Man son, have you not," said Livingston 4 from your Western journey ?" "Yes," he replied, "I have," and there tfas a circumstance attending it which will make it the most memorable event in my whole life." "Indeed, what is that, ray friend ?" _ "Ah, it would take more time thau either you or I could now spare." said Manson, "for me to relate, and you to listen to the particulars ; but I will at tempt a very brief skctch of the sub stance." | When I went to school in Connecticut I had a very dear friend and schoolmate, named John McL d. He was one of I brightest and most beloved pupils in tho school. He grew up, paid his addres ses to a beautiful and excellent youne lady, a member of the church. Ai length he was married to his Mary, and they prepared immediately after that event, in pursuance of a previous plan, to emigrate to a Western State. The evening before the day wq were to separate, perhaps for ever, I had a tender interview with ray bosom friend and lovely wife: It was deeply affecting to us all. The next morning they departed, with the affectionate farewells of many old friends and neighbors in the town where they were bcrn and reared, with a hand some provision made by the parents of both, who were in patent circum stances. Ten years elapsed, daring which I was called to the Methodist mm-1 istry in distant places, as my lot hap-1 pened to be cast. Not a word concern ing them reached my cars in all of that J time. The course of duty called me then J to the vicinity of the place where my I friend had settled, and I resolved to go out of my way considerably to give John and Mary a call. Arriving at the town and inquiring for their residence, I was told tbey lived some distance from the ccntrc village. At length I found the place. At the first glance, my mind mis- j gave me. The sight of the miserable cabin made me sick ; and after hitching my horse I scarcely dared to enter.? Knock I could not; there was no door I nothing but a blanket stretched across tho passage. Removing this, alas! what did I behold ! There was Mary sitting on a stool with an infant on her lap, and another child in the corner on the ground, for the cabin had no floor. 1 Oh, sight of woe! IIow altered was the lovely Mary T n ! "Do you remember me, dear Mary?" j 1 said. "0, Mr. Manson, is it indeed you? We arc ruined: John is last, and I and the children arc starving here. We have not had a morsel to eat hince yesterday morn ing." "Great heavens!" said I, ' and where is John?" "He is at the store; he lias not been here for several days." ; "I must see him," I replied. \ 4' Better not, sir, he is savage now, , and will ill-treat you." "I must and will see John," I re- j plied; and started immediately for the store, according to her direction. There ! was no time to lose, for I was to be at the conference, whither I was bound on a certain time appointed. I readily found the store and entered. The first sight disclosed four men playing cards at a ta ble. The next glance discovered a man stretched out along a whisky hogshead. The landlord was sitting by, but in stantly hopped up and ran behind the ! counter to wait upon me, supposing I was a customer. Says I? " Is John McL d here ?" They all looked at me on hearing the question, as if it had been the old One or a sheriff. " What is that to you ?" he sullenly replied. " I want to see him," I answered. While I was speaking I took another sweep of the room with my eye, and saw something like a man asleep in the cor ner. " Is that John ?" I asked. " None of your business," answered the surly bar-keeper. " If it is that unhappy man, you will find it some of my business," I replied. So I went to him, recognized him, though in this shocking, beastly plight, and be gan to wake him. This was no easy job, and whilo I was about it, the rumseller and his guests remonstrated, telling me to go away, threatening chastisement and showing violence. I had in my hand a loaded whip, and am not inferior you know, in point of wiry, muscular power; and though a man of peace, I confess that in the whole twenty-seven years I | have been in the ministry, I never felt so strong a disposition as at that moment to give four or five men a thrashing. They were intimidated, and I succeeded at length in getting John upon his legs, and trotting him off homeward. My presence and the exercise sobered him, so that when he reached his hovel he was in his right mind. I forgot to mentiou that when I first went into the house, the child ,u|?on the ground started up frightened, running to her mother crying. " Is he ?oing to carry us to jail mother, where father was?'' And that ncor mother sobbed upon my hand as if her heart would break. Well. I conversed with them an hour, talked of old times in Connecticut, the old vil lage, and school days. He was softened; his heart was touched. Then I urged the pledge; his wife put in her profoundly earnest, almost frantic pica. She felt this indeed to be the hour oi destiny. " Do you think I can keep it ? said | at longih the miserable man, once so ' promising, now so fallen. "Is it possible for me to be saved ?" "It is," said I, with confidence and I hope; "you can keep it. I know you can. ! In the name of humanity and religion, try it dear John, and God will help you. At last be consented. We knelt dio?rn on the ear h?there was no chair; no table in the house?I took out the pledge, which I always cany in my pocket, placed it on the stool where Mary had been sitting, and handed htm my pencil. He wrote his name, thank God! Notwithstanding his condition it was beaatifallj written, as I afterward observed, for he was an excellent scholar^ We did not rise till 1 had relieved my overburdened heart in prayer, aud I prayed with ail my strug gling soul, and his despairing wile joined I me in the solemn invocation, that the Fa ther of mercies would receive the return "Mid to Lis am., JiJTu, might never go astray sgaia. jt now quite time forme to go, and resume my journey; but I could not leavTSJ town before I called upon the class lea der, left hira some money for the family, and enjoined upon him to look after them aroun'1 Jobn the shield of an good lniiuencc-s to prevent his suffering a Zc"l on ">cir aceounrif^m. informed of them.

The beautiful voung ;irl, almost a young lady now, was the Jirty child that was crawling on the wound on my first visit There were three more chidren now. To crown the whole, he said: "After I had persevered a year in ab stinence according to that blessed pledge taken on that av>ful day, on the stool in the log hut, which rises to me sometimes with spectral horror?after keeping it sa credly a year, I committed myself to the church, of which my wife, who has been an angel helping me, was a member. 1 rospenty attended my worldly business* but this was not a complete satisfaction.' I wftotcd to be more, siul commenccd study for the ministry. My dear friend ana brother, I am now a minister of the everlasting gospel. How much, what an inexpressible debt do f owe to yon !" We knelt down together on the rich carpet, instead of the cold earth, and pray as fervently as I prayed before in the log cabin; but in what a different strain ! Instead of the almost despair ing supplication, and entreaty of forlorn hearts, cruchcd to the earth with sorrow ?thanksgiving, praises and gratitude now rose spontaneously from our tongues and hearts?O, the heart of Ciesar never swelled with such triumphant joy at any of his conquests, as mine does for any agency in tho salvation of this one man, and the happiness of his family. INSTTIUCTIinLTTY OP TTTE BlBLE.?Four thousand years this volume lias withstood* not only the iron tooth of time, but all the physical and intellectual strength of man. Pretended friends have endeavored to corrupt and betray it ; kings and princes have perseveringly sought to banish it from the world ; the civil and military powers of the greatest empires of the world have been leagued for iU destruction; the fires of persecution have been lighted to consume it and its friends together ; and at many seasons death in its most horrid form, has been the almost certain consequences of affording it an asylum from the fury of its enemies.? Though it has been ridiculed more bit terly, misrepresented more grossly, op posed more rancorously, and burnt more frequently than any other book, and per haps than all other books united, it is so far from sinking under the efforts of its enemies, that the probability of its sur viving until tho final consignation of all things is now much greater than ever. The rain has descended, the floods have come, the storm has arisen, and beat upon it; but it fell not, for it was foun ded upon a rock.
