YOUTHS'
THE STOEY OF AN EGG.
; TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN.
Some centuries ago, there lived in a little
woodland valley, in the north of Germany, a
community of charcoal-burners, whose huts
were scattered here and there along the declivi
ties of the hill. A pieco of ground, planted
with fruit trees and vegetables, was attached to
each habitation ; and this," with a small stock of
heinp or flax a coW a"d a few goals was a'i
these humble villagers had in the world. The
children earned a trifle now a-d thn, by work
ing at a neighboring forge ; but they were still
very poor, though they were not less happy on
that account. Sobriety and -industry insured
j tle enjoyment of health; and amongst the in-
mates of these cottages there were many who
had reached the age of ninety years-,, and who
still relish the comforts of life. "'j.
One sultry day, when the corn was just begin
ning to ripen, a little girl, who wa3 keeping the
goats, ran home quite out of breath, and told
her parents that some personsof singular ap
pearance, who spoke a strange language, had ar
rived in the valley. A. lady, with her two chil
dren 'arid an old man, who appeared to their
servant, composed the party.
TUey avUlontly in great distress, and
Butlsring both from fatigue and hunger; and
the kind hearted little girl entreated .that some
' food might be carried to them', and a lodging
obtained for them in the. village'. The good
people immediately followed the child in search
of the strangers, w ith such homelj' food as the
cottages afforded. The lady was sitting upon j
si mossy 'bank at the foot "of a high rock: she !
was splendidly dressed ; a veil of rich lace cov
ered her face, and a lovely little girl was lying
in her lap,' while the old servant was unloading
the mule which carried their baggage; and the
'other child, a fine boy, was feeding the animal
: with thistles. :
' The charcoal-burner and his wife approached
the lady with respect, perceiving at once, from
the elegance of her appearance and the dignity
of her deportment, that she. was a person of dis
tinction. .
." Look," whispered iuTTwoman to her hus
band, "look at that high collar, so beautifully
worked; the fine 8 ace mittens upon her delicate
hands; and those shoes! why, they are as white
as the cherry blvsom, and covered with silver
flowers:"' i." ''
Vexed at tlie&e" observations, the husband re
plied : Have done with your ridiculous vani' v :
rich clotiifsjiare suited to people of rank, but
they -do not tmke them either better or happier ;,
and these shoes, so pretty and so gay, have; not
prevented the lady Yrom hurting her tender feet
in tliesi? rugged 'paths'
The worthy cottagers offered the noble siran-
U'er the food which th.v-y had brought; and
when she lilted up her veil, they could not help
being struck with the sweetness of her face, and
the expressive beauty of tier features. Having;
-thanked them for their kindness, she took a poi-
ringer of milk, and gave it to the child upon
Ja r knees. Tears of tenderness started fronf her
.!.. 1 ...,. 1 ,J v
. Hen ,aiie
?aw her grasp it with both Iter littli hands, and
drink it eagerly. Some bread and 'milk, were
then given to the elder child ; .and it was not
till the affectionate, parent had satisfied her
babes, that sjie thought of relieving her "own
necessities : nor was the old M i ving-maii forgot-,
'ten... The lady' then, expressed her g at ful
thanks for the succor ; winch had been -afforded
them. . . 1 . I
In the .meantime '.'all the inhabitants of thf.l
valley had gathered round them ; and. telling ;
'them that she had been driveii by a t'e.trfu! tale
' e " '
from lier country aiid her friends, the lady beir- !
- i
ged them to procure fur her a Cottage in' the i
valley, for which she was ready to pay hand-;
somelv. - . , . . i
"..
From the head of the valley a little stream !
dashed, rapidly downwards, and in its course
turned a mill, which seemed, as it were, suspend
ed among the overhanging rocks. On the op
posite bank, the miller had erected a neat rustic !
cottage, which, though built only of wood, was
delightfully situated on the brow of a steep crag,
surrounded with a pleasant garden, and com
manding a fine view aeross the valley. With
this, residence be ofiered to accomodate the lady.
''The little cottage which vou see vonder,"
-said he, pointing -with hi finger. " I will give up '
to -you with ali jr.y heart. It -has not yi been j
inhabited ; indeed, I meant to occupy it myself..!
when 1 resign the mill to my son." i
The lady accejited this obliging offer with ;
gratitude, and found the cottage in every respect !

bohiewhat recovered from her fatigue, the lady ;
walked out the following morning with her chil- i
. . . . .i.
aren. to see tne countrv in which sh Imrl found-:
n nm-; ' ,' f , I
a norae. A charming prospect av before them. ,
The huts of the charcoal-burners were scattered
at a distance along the valley ; the little rivulet I
ihurmu,red through the midst of them, with a '
stream as clear, as crystal ; the goats were!
browsing upon the rocks, covered with'soft green
mossj and the whole landscape, illumined with
the rays of the rising sun, presented to the eye
a picture. which the pencil of the most skilful
artist would fail to imitate. Seeing them ap
proaching, the ; bonesC miller threw a plank
across the stream, and advanced to meet his
. guests.. ' '. " . ' ' ' '.
" Well," said he, " i there in all the valley
such a spot as this ? Here we enjoy the first
rays of the morning sun. The huts below are
still enveloped in the early mist. The situation
i at once a healthy and beautiful one."- X
"While the new friends were engaged in con
versation, th children of the lady were amusing
w. . ; - I
themselves with the sights which were uew to
them. They were astonished at the motion of
the large wheel, continually turning in the same
place; they listened with surprise to the deaf
ening railhclack, and to the roar of the water,
asii uaMied m bailing toani below. the little i
girl wa-epecially delighted to see the Umber- j
iX"V f -aterj.anging like brilliant pearls J
upon the wheel, and dropping one. after another i
f ,i ire j
into tne stream.
; - The greater part of the day was passed in ar- j
; ranging'the little household ;'and the good peo-
pie or tne village busied themselves-m supply-i
.ing vituals, wood, and whatever articles might
lVo n,,i,..i r..i .. .1 r.i i l l
be wanted. Martha, the little girl wliohad fart ;
met the party in thevalley, was taken into their
. - ' J
service. .
Preparations were now to be made for dinner ;
"liut," said the ladv to Martha, '"I must firt
have some eggs; take -the money and buy
some.
"Eggs!" exclaimed Martha: "what do you
want eggs for ?"

T VALUABLE SCHOOL BOOKS, published by T.
V Cowperthwait, & Co., of Philadelphia, and sold by
booksellers generally, Mitchell's Series of School Geog
raphies. Mitchell's Primary Geography, third revised
edition, illustrnted by more than 100 beautiful engravings
and 14 coloured maps. The present edition of this popu
lar work is printed from new plates, the fourth stereotyp
ed for the book since its first appearance twelve years ago,
within which period more than a million copies have
been circulated.
Encouraged by the extensive patronage bestowed on
this work, the publishers have taken advantage of the
iiafcaMaaaiaaM ta irrprovo it m-evefy-respect.
kneh alterations in the text as recent geographical dis
coveries and changes rendered necessary, have-been made.
The maps have been greatly improved and several new
and beautiful cuts, designed by Billings, and executed in
the finest style ol the engraver's art, have been added.
Mitchell's Intermediate Geography, revised edition, in
quarto form, containing maps and reading matter in the
snme book, illustrated by more than 40 colored maps, and
150 engravings. This work occupies a medium space be
tween the author's Primary Geography, and the well
known School Geography nnd Atlas, of which last book
it contains about two-thirds ol the amount of matter.
For convenience of use, and idiable maps and mat
ter, this book has no superior.
Mitchell's School Geography and Adas, fourth revised
edition. The present revision has been altogether more
thorough and complete than any heretofore attempted.
The book has been entirely re-written, and fully brought
up to the present time. Advantage has been taken of
many suggestions kindly offered by distinguished practical
teachers to improve the work in itsgeneml plan and ar
rangement; and.it is believed that it will lear the closest
criticism, both-with reference to its geographical accura
cy, and itsadaptation for use as a school manual.
The Atlas accompanying the new edition contains
thirty-two beautiful Maps handsomely colored, and finely
executed in the best style of the engraver's art, fully rep
resenting all the recent geographical discoveries. With
the United States' Maps especially, great pains have
been taken to exhibit correctly the numerous railroads
of the country, new county lines, and the true position ol
many new and important towns, not generally represent
ed in School Atlases.
New andexcellent Maps of Wisconsin, Michigan, and
Texas, have been introduced. Others, showing the va
rious routes to the Pacific, by the Isthmuses; of Panama,
Tehuantepec, and Nicaragua, are now added, together
with a new map of the Sandwich Islands.
The information obtained with reference to the new
States and Territories west of the Mississippi, the discove
ries of Lt. De Haven, in his search for Sir John Frank
lin, and those ol late travelers in Central and Southern Af
rica, as also in Australia, have been incorporated in the
work. In short, it is believed that no discovery or change
of any importance for the last ten years is left unnoticed in
this edition.
The Atlas also contains nine quarto pages of statistical
matter, arranged in tables, and obtained from the most
authentic sources. These tables exhibit the height of the
principal mountains and volcanoes, the length of rivers, the
area of the principal islands and lakes, the extent and pop
ulation of the different countries, and the population of the
principal cities upon the globe; all compiled from the
latest and most reliable authorities. In the department of
United States' statistics, the tables are very complete, and
exhibit fully the civil, industrial nnd political condition of
the country, as shown by the census of 1850. In addition
to these tables, is one showing the railroads and canals of
the United States, and one presenting at a glance the im
portant events in the history of each State, and what
will be invaluable to every teacher, a full table of the
Educational Statistics of the Union.
Mitchell's Geograpliical Question Book, comprising
Geographical Definitions, and containing questions on all

Mitchell's Ancient Geography and Atlas an ancient,
classical and sacred Geography, embellished with engrav
ings of remarkable events, views of ancient cities, and va
rious -inter eating antique remain?, and illustrated by an an
cient Atlas, containing 19 elegant coloured Maps.
There are no geographical works published in this coun
try, that are more in demand or that have a wider cir
culation than those of -Mr. .Mitchell. There are up
wards of 350,000 copies of them sold annually, and about
250 persons constantly employed in theii manufacture.
The arrangements of the publishers are such that tbey
a: enabled to give correctly all the latest geographical
discoveries. They publish the only full serie3 of Geog
raphies in the country j- and having in constant employ a
strong geographical force of map engravers and others,
and being very largely engaged in the publication of the
various States, ar.d other maps, they are enabled to pre
sent the School series correct, both in maps and matter,
up to the date of publication.

METROPOLITAN FEMALE SEMINARY.
The subscriber proposes to open, on the second
Monday in January next, in the City of Raleigh, a High
School for young ladies, under the above title.
For this purpose, he has purchased the property form
ed owned, and employed for school purposes, uy the late
Kev. J. J. Finch. ' It is situated on Halifax street, a few
hundred yards north of the Capitol, in a pleasant and
desirable part of the city ; sufficiently near, to enjoy all the
advantages of the city, and sufficiently retired to be free
from most of its annoyance.
He has purchased also an unimproved lot, in I he same
vicinity, one of tho most eligible and beautitui sites in.
the city, upon which he intends, as soon as circumstances
will admit, to erect large and commodious buildings,
with special reference to school purposes. Many circum-,
stances conspire lo render Raleigh a most desirable
location for a female school. Its proverbial healthfulness ;
the objects ol interest, which attach to it, as the capitol
of the State ; its accessibility by means of rail-roads ; the
high character of the institutions it already contains ; and
its growing importance, giving promise of permanent pros-
Cerity, are all circumstances which aannot be overlooked
y parents, desiring to give their daughters a polite and an
accomplished education. 1'he sub.-criber will be assisted
in tho duties ot the school by Mrs. McDowell and other
competent and experienced instructors'; and all the facili
ties necessary to a first class school, will be promptly provi
ded. The course of instruction will be thorough ; embracing
all the branches us-jaliy taught in High Schools or Col
leges, and diplomas will b granted to those who com
plete the cour.-e. Certificates of graduation will also be
given in Music and other Ornamental Blanches, to those
who attai the requisite proficiency.
The sessions and vacations will be arranged to corres
pond as nearly as practicable with those of Wake
Forest College, in order that parents patronizing both
Institutions, may have the advantage of sending their sons
and daughters together.

No deduction lor absenee. after a pupil has entered. ex

as moderate, it is believed, as the expensiveness of living
and the facilities, which will be provided, will justify.
But experience has taught that Parents, who properly ap
preciate the education of their children, are. more solicu
ous about the character of the instruction imparted', than
about the price paid for it.
Hence the prime object will not be to make the school
as cheap as possible, but to render the instruction as effici
ent as possible.
The subscriber flatters himself that the experience he
has had in teaching young ladies and the satisfaction he
has been enabled to give, w,ll be a sufficient guarantee, to
all who may be disposed to patienize his school, that
their daughters will -be properly cared for, and faithfully
instructed. And as he has undertaken this enterprise at the
urgent solicitation of numerous friends, and under th'e im
rjression that important interests mnv he subserved lir rt-
,by, he trusts that he shall not lack that generous sympathy
and liberal
support which have been accorded to him

READ AND BE CONVINCED.
The "Philadelphia Saturday Gazette," says, of Dk
Hooflaxd'sGerman Bitters:
" It is seldom that we recommend what are termed
Patent Medicines, to the confidence and patronage of our
readers ; and therefore when i wc recommend Dr. Hoofl
and's German Bitters, we wji-h it to be distinctly under
stood that we are not speaking ol the nostrums of the day,
that are noised about for a brief period and then forgotten
after they have done their guilty race of mischief, Tut of
a medicine long established, universally prized, and which
has met the hearty approval of tho facufty itself."
" Scott's Weekly," said, Aug. 25
" Dr. Hoofland's Germas Bitters, manufactured by
Dr. Jackson, are now recommended by some of the
most prominent memberfs of the faculty as an article of
much efficacy in cases of female weakness. Persons of
debilitated constitutions will find these Bitters advantage

Hon. C. D. Hinehne, Mayor of tho City of Camden,

" Hoof land's GeRmas , Bitters.- We have seen many

must say we found it specific in its action upon diseases
of the liver and digestive organ, and the powerful; in
fluence it exerts upon nervous prosstration, is really sur
prising. It calms and strengthens the nerves, bringing
them into a state of repose, making sleep refreshing.
If this medicine was more generally used, we aro satis

OChristison, M. D. v. p. r. s. f , President of the Royal
College of Physicians of Edinburgh, Professor of Materia
Medica in the University of Edinburgh, and Ordinary
Phvsician to the Queen for Scotland, on the "AC
TIONS and USES of BEBERINA." From the Sup
plement to the Second Editionof Dr. CHRISTISON S
DISPENSATORY Edinburgh, April, 184S. I
"BEBERINA is essentially that ofaTonicnd Anti
Periodic, and the forms of Disease to which it is applicable
are the same in kind as those for which Quina is employ
ed. It increases the appetite, improves the tone cl"; t he
constitution generally, and raises the pulse a little, but
has not the syne tendency Quina to produce ringing
in the ears, headache, Vertigo, and other symptoms
of affection of the. Nervous System. It was first used by
Dr. Rodie in the intermittents of Guiaua; and the subse
buent tests of Dr. Watt, in Demerara, and by Armv
Surgeons, in the East Indies, leave no doubt tbet' it
possesses decided fibrifuge qualities. In many forms of
disease in this country its efficacy is undoubted, periodic
headache and other periodic Neuralgias readily yield to
it. It appears to be specially applicable to persons of
Strumous or Phthisical habit, and has been round useful
in the latter stages of Phthisis to counteract general
debility and want of appetite, and check nocturnal pers
piration. Bv many Oculists it has been found an effectual
substitute for Quina in Strumous Opthalmia. In Atonic
Dyspepsia and states of debility generally, it has come
into common use, and it has found especial favour with
many Accoucheurs in cases of pregnancy, requiring tonic
treatment ; for all these purposes it has come into general
employment in this Cnv and other places in Britian.
The dose of Sulphate of Bebeerine is from one t. three
grains repeatedly as atonic, and from five grains to a
scruple as a fibrifuge. It may be given in pill with
conserve of roses, or in solution. When spread upon
the surface of water it dissolves almost immediately.
Drs. Mackenzie, Macfarlane, nnd Law'rie, G asgow;
Professor Simpson and Dr. D. Maclagan, Edinburgh ;
Dr. Nicholson, Deputy In spector of Hospitals, Madras;
Dr. Dempster, H. M. 21st Fusiliers ; Messrs. Falconer,
Anderso ., Godfrey, and Doorward, of the East India
Co.npany's Service, have employed it with decided
success, where Quina, Arsenic, and other Medicines had
failed, or required to be disi ontinued. . ;
Dr. Macfarlane -gives his opinion of Bebeerine as
f Hows : ,
" Glasgow, 12th June, 1347.
" Ouring the last two years I have used the Sul hate
of Bebeerine extensively in practice, and vith decidedly
benefical effects, as a general tonic and ns an anti-periodic
and anti- neuralgic remedy. Besides bein; much cheaper
than the Sulphate of Qvfina, it is not so liable to excite
the circulation or nervous system; it can, therefore, le
given in larger doses, and has frequently succeeded in my
hands when other medicines have either failed or required
to be discontinued. j
" JOHN MACFARLANE, M D."
Thr following is from Dr. James A. Lawrie : " I have
used the Sulphate of Bebeerine extensively in all cases
in which Quinine and vegetaUe tonics are given. I
have found it so beneficial that 1 have lately p-escribed
k mTe requently than any other medicines of the same
class, and would beg to recommend . it strongly to the
notice of the profession. I have found it succeed in
Neuralgic pains when every other medicine had failed.
" JAMES A. LAWRIE, M.D.,
" Professor of Surgery, Anderson's University,
" Surgeon, Glasgow Royal Infirmary."
Of the purity ot the Bebeerine, manufactured by Inner
arity &. Co., Dr. R. D. Thomson gives the following
Certificate :-- "
" Glasgow College, 18th May, 1848.
" I have examined a sample ot Bebeerine. oretmred
by Messrs. Innerarity and Co., and have no hesitation
in stating that it is the besiwhich I have seen in the
market. It is quite soluble in hot or cold water, and is
therefore well adapted for prescriptions ; affording with
water an almost amber-coloured solution. 1 consider
this medicine, as manufactured bf Messrs. Itlnerarity
. &. Co , to be an elegant'preparation.
- " R. D. THOMSON, M.D.
' " Lecturer- on Chemistry in the University ol Glasgow."
Dr. Mackenzie, Surgeon-Oculist to her Majesty, (for Scot
land,) and Lecturer on the Structure, Functions, and
Diseases of the Eye, in the University of Glasgow,,
gives his opinion in as favorable terms.
In a Report (to Dr. D. Maclagan, of Edinburgh ot

Joyed, Dr. Watt says
" That one paroxysm does sometimes come on after
its full exhibition ; but is tar as my experience yet goes,
no second paroxsym. It is important that Ihis should
be fully known, otherwise disappointment is sure to
follow.
We have good reason to anticipate hovy far superior
Bebeerine wil prove in those diseases (Intermittent and
Remittent Fever.) in that it leaves the head and nervous
system comparatively free and unaffected ; while in no
case within my knowledge has it ever caused irritability
of stomach or cold sweat.

. ing pregnancy ; and alleging, as they do, that serious
consequences may ensue from the use of it. Nor is
Arsenic a medicine which one would choose to exhibit to
a pregnant female. Though thus deprived of the advan
tages to be derived from "the use ol these two potent
I remedies iii Periodic Neuralgias, latterly I have used
the .Sulphate of Bebeerine in instances of "this kind, and,
as it has appeared both to me and my patients, with th
most perfect success. I prescribed it about a couple of
months ago to a lady who had one of the most severe
attacks ot forehead and face Neuralgia that I remember
to have seen. It came on towards noon, and kept her
iu blindness and agony for some time. The ordinary
medical attendant on the family had leeched her, etc,
without relief! 1 advised the Bebeerine to be triven in two
grain pills repeatedly during the interval between the !
Faroxvsms. as tue medicine seemed to have no effect,
gradually increased it, till on the third day she took a
bout half a drachm of the Sulphate during the fourteen
or sixteen hours intermission. To tell you the truth, ,!
I was beginning to despair of seeing the sufferings oft
my patient in any way relieved by' it, and would have
changed it for some other remedy next day, bflt such
was not required; as, after the large dose I mentioned,!
tho ncital lit rprriflllv lacs . . . r-, i i .1 , 1 i a sin. F
or two entirely disappeared. Of her own accord, my
patient fell back upon the Be beerine pills some time
afterwards, when the Neuralgia was again threatened
and it again speedily disappeared.
"Last year 1 saw a similar case of periodic Tic in the face
of a lady far advanced in pregnancv. It j iclded rapidly
when tie patient was using the Sulphate of Bebeerine
alone. I navea lady at present under my care who has
been suffering from distressing pains in the face,
shoulder, and other parts of the bodv. . Before I saw her
she had been put on the use of Guiacum, Colchicum,
etc., under the supposition that the pains were rheum
atic. They occur wnti a kind of irregular periodicity. The
patient at the same time suffers from mcenorrhagia.
Quinine, Arsenic, etc., have failed to relieve her. Latterly
I placed her upon the use of the Sulphate of Bebeerine
and at my last visit she stoutly declared that she had
derived far morejj benefit from this medicine than from
anv others I had previously prescribed for her.
" I have a patient from India, where she had suffered
from Ague, and whose stomach seems always to rebel
against Quinine. Since coming to Edinburgh she has
had repeatedly a recurrence of Aguish symptoms and
has taken Bebeerine for them without feeling those svmt
toms of gastric irritation and headache which Quinine
seems to inflict npon her. - ,?..--
"In other cases where I have employed the Bebeerine,
either as antiperiodic or as a tonic, it has caused far
less of those lrntatingand stimulant effects which we
see produced by the use cfQuiuine."
Testimonials from North-Carolina Phvsicians are in the

Bebeerine m Neuralgia and other diseases.
