The bladder is composed of rarious corer
insca or tissues, divided into parts, viz : the
Upper, the Lorer. the Nerrous, and Ihe Mu
cous. The tiaper expels, the lower retains.
Many have a de -ire to urinate without the
ability ; O'.liers urinate without the ability to
retain. This frequently occurs iu children.
To cure the-e affections, we must bring in
to action the inasccls, which are engaged in
their various ('suctions. If they are neglect
ed, Urarel or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that

Drar Si t f hav beu a suffjrer, for up
ward of twwiitv rears, with gravel, bladder,
aud kiduev s!i'e?tions, during which time I
have used various m;ilieinal preparations,
and been h i ler the treatment of the most
eminent Physicians, experiencing but httlo
relief.
Hiring seen your preparations extensively
advertise I, I .:-nsult?d with mv family phya
tsian in regit I to using your Ei.ract ilnchti.
1 did this became I ha' used all kinds of
a Iveriised re n j lies, and had found the n
vvoi t'lless, and, some quite infurious . in fact,
I despaired of ever getting well, and di-term-iu
I to u no remedies hereafter unless I
knew of the ingredients. It was this that
prompted mi to use your remedy. As you
advertised that it was cO-rposed of bnchj,
nnV?bs, and junipo." berries, it occurred to me
and my phyniei m as an excellent combina
tion, and, A'ith his a It-ice, alter an exanma
tiou of tiiu article, an 1 consulting again with
tha druggist, I couclude 1 to try it. I com--inenced
its use about eijrht months ajro, at
which tituj I was confined to my rooea. From
the first bottle I was astonished an I gratified
at the beneficial eflTjct, and "fter using it t ree
weeks, tra) able to walk out. I felt much like
writing you a full stat-meni of my case at
that time, but thought mv improvement
might only be temporary, and tf; rfore con
cluded lo defer a nd -eo if it would effect a
perfect cure, knowing then it would be of
greater value to you, and more satisfac.ory
lo me.
lam now able to report that a cure is effec
ted after usin the remedy for five mouths.
I have not u 'e 1 any now lor three in r;ths,
and feel as well in al! respects as I ever did.
Your Hurl.ii boing devoid of any unpleas
ant taste and odor, a ni ;e tonic and invigora

out it whenever occasion may require its use

Hoofiand's German Bitters.
A BITTERS WITHOUT ALCOHOL CK SPIRITS OP
ANY KIND,
Is different from all others. It is composed
of the pnro juices or vital principle of
Hoots, 11kui;s aud Harks for as medicinally
j termed, extracts ), the worthless or inert r i.r
i tions of the ingredients not being u-ed.
Tii'jretore, in one bottle of this Bitters tere
is contained as m-ich medicinal virtue as will
be found in sereral gallons ot ordinarv mix
tures. The Uoots, &c, used in this Hitters
are grown in Germany, their vital principles
extracted in that country by a scientific
Chemist and forwarded to the manni'actory in
this city, where they are compounded and
bottled. Containing no spirituous ingredi
ents, this Hitters is fr-o from the objections
urged against al! others ; no desh e for stim
ulants cin.be induced from their use, they
. cannot make drunkards, and cannot, un.ler
i-.nv circu distances, have any but a beneficial
ff.-ct.
HooCand's German Tonic
V;js compounded for those nol inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
ca-os when tome alcoholic stimulant is i c
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties of the Hitters. Each bott!eof theTorjic
contains one. bottle ol the liitters, combined
with pure Santa Ciu-z Km, and llarored in
such a manner that the extreme bitterness of
Ibe llitt?rs is overcome, forming a prepara
tion highly agreeable and plsasant to the pal
ate, and containing the medicinal virtues of
the Bitters. The price of the I'onio is SI. 50
per bottle, which manv persons think too
high. Ther must lake into consideration that
; the stimulant used is guaranteed to bt- of a
' pnre quality. A poor article could bs fur-
nished at a e caper price, but is it not better
1 to pay a little more and have a good article?
A medicinal preparation should contain nont
bat the best ingredifnts, and they who ex
pect to obtain a cheap compound w-U m- st
eertainly be cheated.

Forms are the hedges of our social life,
T.i "hut out trauipers.be they man or beast;
Their viiu; twolold, bcau'y not the leas-t,
With shelter, highest courtesy is riie,
As glittering shield, amid the battle strife.
Shaped f ir trough U3,cau brpvely please the
eye.
Hedges exclude no sight of lovely sky.
Nor to the landscape interpose a screen;
Tiie melt into the meadow, orchard, hardly
seen,
Save for a slender line of minding green,
That mark of each the fitting boundary.
A !ri ud y refuse for birdling's leaf-bid nest,
They teem with blossoms for the welcome
enest;
So forms protect our sacred homi and heart,
Yet otfr ti iwers of courtesy to those
Who stay not with us underneath the rose,
But mere salutes in the morning's mart
Or dwellers in an Outside life, from our
apart,
Our limits thus they plairly can define
.Which ground each fairly claims as mine or
thine;
But interd.ct uo beauty, and offer no pretense,
Graceful rccessities, society's defense,
Standing in dignity, to stay impertinence.
"NOT A DROP MORE, DANIEL."
Daniel Atkin had become a con
firmed drunkard. So fully had he
come under the dominion of his
appetite, that he was perfects
miserable when he couid not oblnin
the means of gratifying his thirst.
He had neglected his familj' tili
his wife's father had taken her and
the children under the parental
roof. He had spent all his sub
stance in drink, and was kept from
the poor house only by performing
menial services for fyis food, and
bj the kindness of Thomas Edger
tou a member of the society of
Friends, who had known liini from
his youth, and who had a strong
hope that, in course of time, he
would see his folly, and turn again
into the right path.
The leading publican of the place
lif.d let him have drink so long as
Lis mone3 lasted, but would trust
him no longer. He was lounging
u'out the store one bright moon
light evening, plea-ling with tl e
ivi-.ii btlier to trust him for a drink,
'';;t the reply was : 'Not a drop
more, Daniel !'
Ie remained a while longer, od
J then le(t. As the cool air of the
i
! tvc-rjing fell upon him, he all at
o' c' yave utterance to his feelings
in the following strain : 'Not a
drop more, Daniel.' Am I drunk
ci :;m I sober ? I am sober. 'Not
;i drop more, Daniel.' Did IIos
kins think tt drop would hurl me?
j 'o, but my money was gone, lie
jins i ail got everything I had ;
I ven tli-1 Iib!e my father gave me
ie has got the boots that my wife,
Vvith htr l.ard earning, bought for
: f ennie. Not a drop more, Daniel.'
Ii -'.iiiiel. what say you to that? I
so, too. I once hatl good
I i ioUu-s, but. now 1 have nothing
j Dm i:ii-s. "Not a drop more, Dan
I u-1. Ui! 1 have clothes Mgain as
v tl ::s when Mary and I were
tiibt married. I once had a goml
! watch, but that too is gone ! 'Not
i a drop more, Daniel,' till I have
j another as ood as the one I pawn-
i
ed to Hoi-kins for drink. I htve
seen the day when I had a good
horse and buggy, and could ride
into town in as good st lc as any
man in the place.
'Not a drop more, Daniel,' till I
hpve another horse and buggy as I
once had. I once had cows that
furnished my family with butter
and cheese, but Ilcskios has cot
them. Not a drcp moie, Daniel,'
' tili these cows or others as good,
; are mine again. I once hsd this
i wallet full of bills ; but now nCt a
! cent have I got. 'Not a drop more,
j Daniel,' till this wallet is well filled
! again. '
i iy this time he had reached tim
j i Ir.ce where he formerly resided,
j nnd leaning up ngainet the fence,
; !.c mused a long time in silence.
I
I Uo viewed the desolate place by
the light of the moon, and his eyes
ranged over the house aud farm
r. ice his own. He then said to
!
himself: Once I owned this house j
and farm. Here my father and J
mother died. I was the pride of!
their hearts ; but I have brougi't
down their gray hairs iu sorrow to
tho grave ! Here I began my mar
ried life ; and all that heart could
wish was mine. Here Mary and I
took comfort together tili Hokins
came and opened his rum shop;
and now he calls it his.
In that south room my children
were born, and there my Jennie
died. Oh, how sorrowful she look
ed when she saw me take her boots
aud start for the store to pawn
; them for rum, while she lay sick
upon tho bd ! And then how she
begged of me never to strike her
mother agnin.
Aud Oh, my wife, how shame-
A
AIM'S! AT, BE THY GOD'S.
fully I abrsed lior ! It wis not
j 3-our Daniel that 'id it. No, it was
Hoskins' accursed rum ! No won
der you were taken lrom mo by
thoie who ioed you, and would
not see you abused. They won't
have me in the house. They won't
let me live with you. 'Not a drop
more, Daniel,' till this house in
mine again. 'Not a drop more,
Daniel,' till those broad acres are
again in n:y possession, and the
wife and children that are Jiving
are in yonder rooms and we are a
happy family once more, 'Not a
drop more, Daniel.' Help me, my
God, till all these things are ac
complished ! I thank you, IIos
kvns, for these words. I shall not
forget thero.
He ha I become so much occu
pied wilh hi thoughts, and s;poke
in a tone so loud, that he had not
noticed the wagon, which by thin
time bad reached the road, and in
which was seated the kind hearted
Quaker, before mentioned. lie
stopped his horse, and heard dis
tinctly the language Daniel used.
As he closed his soliloquy, he
turned and saw Thomas Edgerton,
who said :
'Daniel, does thee mean to keep
thy vow T
'Yes, friend Edgerton, I do.'
'Thee has promised a great many
times thee'd drink no more. What.
makes thee think thee will keep
thy vow this time ?'
'I know, friend Edgerton, I have
often vowed I would drink no
more; but new I feel different
from what I have felt before; my
heart is almost broken, and I feel
my weakness ; and I believe God
will help me this time.'
'God grant that it may be so !
Daniel get in and take a seat. Thee
must be hungry; go home with ine'
On the way the Quaker drew out
of him all that has been written,
and he advised him to go to Cali
fornia, lie told him to go to New
York and work his way round the
Capo. He decided lo do so. The
Quaker kindly piomised to fui risL
with witn suuainf cioiiung.
I fboul 1, but they have become
so estranged from me, if I went,
perhaps they would not believe
me. I think it will be bct'er they
should not koo" whrro I iw. 1
want to surprise the in : and hope
to do so, by coming back a man,
with money enough to make them
comfortable. I prefer t!i;t you
and your wile should be the ;i!y
persons in "the" place who shall
know where I am, and what I am
doing.-
Thus whi'e riding tow? id the
quiet faim !iou-e of the Quaker,
the whole; thing was aru.'.ged.
When they reached the farm, the
horse was put into the baru. and
tney eatertu the nouse As T'i-y
seated themselves before the tire,
the Quakei said to Lis wife: 'A:jiy
tho can nit on nnothe- p'ate
Daniel will slay wit'i us a few d tys,
and then he is going to CaH'or-.n.i."
The Quaker ieil eonfidvr.t D iu
iel would keep his word this time.
At the end of a few days, every,
thing was in readiness. The ol 1
horse was harnessed, and before
daylight Daniel Atkin was on his
way-to the railway station ; he had
not been in the village since the
night when the woids 'Not a drop
more, Daniel,' were uttered, lie
wai misfed from his customary
haunts ; but it was suppo&ed he
had gone on the usual 'spree,' and
so nothing was thought of h;s ib
sence. No impiiiies were male,
for all were glad -.hat ha was mi-:- ',
sing, and cared not for his return.
He. had been gone somewhat
more than a year when tho Quaker

reply.

'It is indeed ; I cannot leave the

is poor, and the fan.i!y that lived

'Yes, but thee paid in goods and
charged thine own price for them.'

' Hoskins thought long enough
' over the matter to conclude that
the interest of eight hundred dol
lars was far better for liim than a
farm, for the use of which be real
ized ecarcely anything, and at last
said, 'You can bave it.'

'No ; he bas not been in the vil

5 We may here tell the reader
; something that floskine did not
'i know. The Quaker had that day
;! received a letter from Daniel At
i kin, stating that be was at the
mines, hard at work and sticking
! to his motto, 'Not a drop more,
Daniel;" that he had laid up a few
hundred dollars, and desired to in
j quire what the place be once own
1 ed cotd I be bought for.
,1 n
Mr. E (gerton had taken the
method above mentioned to find
; out the views of Hoskins respect-
j ing the place ; so( confident was be
f
that Daniel Atkin wouldr come
jj home a sober man, with money in
his pocket, that he had ventured to
j' purchase the place, to keep for him
1IU 1113 I ClUI 11.
He wrote to Atkin informing
him what he had done, and about
three months after he received a
letter from him, stating lhat he
had sent by express five hundred
dollars in gold to New York, with
orders lo sell it, Mid remit the pro
ceeds to him id go toward the mon
ey for the farm .
Gold comman ieil a high premi
um, ri d the five hundred doliars
became eight hundred before they
reached the hands of friend Edger
ton. Atkin requested him to draw
up a deed giving the property to
his wife Mary, aud to have it duly
recorded, and left with the register
'f deeds.
In his letter 1 e siid :
'If, percaar.ee, I should ever
break my resolution, I shall have
-lecurtd a home for my wife and
children I prefer, however, that
thev should not kuow anything of
this for the p;eent. If I live to
come home, I will give the deed to
Mary with mv own bands; U not,
) u can do if. Now that the farm
: is bought, you had better stock it
,j tor I still stick to my motto, 'Not
I a drop more, Daniel.'
j Alio! her year pissed away.
By
this time frhrid Edgerton bad
stocked Ihe farm wb h young cattle
and sheep, the fences were put in
repair, and everything but the
house wore a lidy appoartu
Another remittance came which
paid for all the stock, aud left an
over phis with which to repair the
j houise. Carpenters were busy, and
villagers who happened to pass
that way found extensive repairs
were going on ; still no one pre
sumed to question the Quaker in
regard to b:s dans. These repairs
completed, furniture found it9 way
into the house. A yoke of oxen
was seen on the farm. The villa
gers were astonished to see the
Qupker' driving an elegant horse
and riding in a new buggy. He
received this note one day.
'1 have arrived safe and eound.
Please go and get Mary and the
children.'
Frier d Edgerton rode over to
the next town and called on Mary's
father, and invited her and the
children to go home with him and
make a visit. ihe invitation was J
accepted, acd they returned with
the Quaker to his house. On the
afternoon of the next day be said:
Mary, I want to go lo the rail
way station. Thee and the chil
dren can stay with Amy.'
He went down to the station,
and, fetching Daniel, left him at
the hou?e, where he had previously
conveyed some provisions, and
There be was to pnss the night. It
was dark when .friend Edgerton
reached his home.
The next morning, friend Edger
ton said to Mary :
Mary, I suppose thee heard that
I bave bought thy old place? I
have got it fitted up, and thee and
the children s dl ride over after
breakfast and see it. 1 think thee
will like it.'
They rode over, and Mary was
surprised to seethe changes which
I0. 11.
had taken place They looked
over the lower rooms first; nnd
over the mantel piece, in the sitting-room
wps a frame, and under
the glass, in large gold leiters were
these wordn :
"NOT A IKO: MORE, DANIEL !"
Mary, in reading these words,
said :
Oh. fiietK? Edgerton, if Daniel
could have said these words, and
stuck to them, this beautiful place
might have still been his.'
'Then thee don't know where
Daniel is V said tire Quaker.
'No ; I have not heard anything
of him for more than tbrefl years.'
Thee would like to see him,
would thee not?'
'Oh. yes ! Indeed I should.'
'Let u-s walk up stairs.'
As Lie went up the front stair,
Daniel Atkin slipped down the
back cues, and took hi stand in
the front roora. V!ien they re
turned, Mrs. Mary Atkin noticed a
stalwart man standing ia the room
with his back to tho door, and
started back for an instant. The
Quaker said :
'It is a friend, Mary.'
Daniel turned round ; but in the
man with a Iw?avy beard and mous
tache Mary did not recognize her
husband. Daniel advanced to the
spot where Mary was standing,
and, in a voice tremulous with em
otion, exclaimed :
Don't you know me, Mary ?'
We leave the reader to imagine
what the meeting was. Friend
Edgerton said be must go home
ansl see Amy, and addressing him
self to Mary, said :
Mary, this house and farm are
thine. Daniel has got the papers,
and will give them to thee. Thee
can stay hero as long as thee likes;
thee will live happy once more, for
that (pointing to the frame over
the mantle piece, -Not a drop more,
Daniel,') is his motto now, and will
be as lorg as he lives.'
D; niel and his wife fell on their
knees before the Lord. Their
prayers were mingled with many
tear?, but in their future lives those
prayers were found to be answered,
Several years have passed away
since the above events occured,
and Daniel Atkin, now an earnest
Clsiistian man, etill sticks lo his
motto :
".Yf a drop more, Daniel "

" One who doea not believe in immer

Number of Amsricax Tariffs.
In Colonel W. M.Grosvenor's
new work, entitled "Does Protec
tion Protect?" we have a succinct
statement of the tariffs of the coun
try since 1812- There have beeu
twenty four tarifls.twenty of. which
have been protective in their object
and four not protective. The
twenty protective tariffs lasted
less than twenty nine years. The
average dura' ion of these tariff
was seventeen months and eight
days. The four non protective
tariffs lasted twenty-four years, an
average duration of six years..
The longest period without
change of the tariff laws was ten
years and seven months, and the
next eight years and six months,'
both under a non protective tariff.
The deduction from tho above
facts is, that protective tariffs pro
duce frequent changes, .which is
really unfavorable to ?the variov s
interests thathae sought protec
tion. If men make investments in
manufactures, for instance, in view
of certain government action, a
sudden change in the law may ruin
their business. -
