As to health, including all seasons of the year, we deny tbatAST OTHLB OITI MAS MORE. A common error exists in the minds of many students relative to the place of studying medicine; those who in tend practicing among the diseases of tne West and South should certainly educate themselves at a school whose r acuity are practically acquainted wilh tnose ureases.

Philadelphia. , Tlteir power onr the abort disepue it rud txetllcdif rquuucaoy any other preparation in the United States, as the cures alent in many cases after skilful physicians had failed. These Bitters are worthy the attentioafof invslid. Possessing great vittues in the rectification of disease of the Liver and leaser glands, exercising the most searching powers in weakness and allection ef the digestive ergans, they are withal, safe, certain, and pleasant. KsAn aid at cosvisckd. Chas. Robinson, Esq., Easlon, Md., in a letter to Dr. Jackson, January 10, 1850, said "My wife and myself have received more benefit from your medicine than any other we have ever taken for the Dyspepsia and Liver disease. "The Tenth Legion," published at Woodstock. Va.. January 10, 1850, said "A f seat MKnict!n.' "We have uniformly refrain ed from recommending to the public any of the various Patent medicines of the day. unless thoroughly convinced of their value. Among those we consider worthy of no tice is the German Hitters, invented by Dr. Hoojtund, and prepared by Dr. Jackson in Philadelphia. One in stance in particular, in which the superior virtues 'of this medicine baa been tested, has fallen under our observa tion. During the last summer, a son of Mr. hraham Cratiill. of I Inn county, was very seriously airlifted with Liver Complaint, and after trying in vain various remi- dies, he purchased a bottle of the (litters, and after using it, was so much relieved of his distressing malady, that he proeuicd another bottle, and is restored entirely to neaitn. READ FURTHER A FEW FACTS. From "The Weldon Herald," published st Wcldon, N. C, January 24, 1850, which said "Patkst MiDtcir.s." It is very seldom that we make any allusion to Patent medicines, either approving or otherwise. Unfortunately for the country, and for hon est and conseientous inventors and venders ol these med icines, the land is becoming flooded with quack prepara tions, that arc made alone tor profit and aic lit not even for the dogs. In this stale of things it is hard to tell which arc not worth having, If a person gets an indif crerit medicine the first time he purchases, he is very apt to condemn the whole of them and buy no more, and in ventors must blame those of Uieir number, (who iguorant ly combine plain medicines together for the purpose of making money,) for the ill success which attends the ef forts of the deserving." "e believe that Dr. C. M. Jackson's 'Hoofland V German Bitters' to be a most excellent medicine, and one that should be highly popular ih: these days of Temper ance; for they are altogether Vegetable in their coinjiosi tion, without one drop of Alcoholic Spirits in them. ThU meuicineis innocent, uut strengthening in iticltects, and richly deserving of an unbounded popularity, which, when it Incomes known, it will no doubt fully enjoy." MUKE EVIDENCE. The "Philadelphia Saturday Gazette," is the best family newspaper published in the United Stales.- The editor saysof Da. H JOFLANU'S German Bitters: "Itissel- dom that wo recommend what are termed Patent medi cines to the confidence and patronage of our readers ; and, therefore, when we recommend Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters, we wish to be distinctly understood that wo arc riot sneaking of the nostrums of the day, that arc noised about for a brief period and then forgotten after it has done its guilty race of mischief, but of a medicinolong es tablished, universally prized, and which has met the hear ty approval of the faculty itself." Evidence upon evidence has been received (like the foregoing) from .all sections of the Union, the last three years, and tie strongest Icslimtmij in its favor, is, that there is more of it used in the practice of the regular Pliy syciansof Philadelphia than all other nostrums combined, a fact thai can easily be established, and fully proving that a scientific preparation will meet wilh their quiet approval when presented even in this form. 1 liat this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and Dys pepsia, no one can doubt after using it as directed. It acts specifically upon the stomach and liver; itisprefera- nie 10 caiomei in an umous diseases the cllect is immedi ate. They can be administered to femalo or infant with safety and reliable benefit at any time. Ubwaiib ok Cou.vrii nr kits. This medicine has at tained that high character which is necessary for all med icines to attain to induce counterfeiters to put lortli a spu rious article at the risk of the lives of those who aro in nocently deceived. Look well to the mara of the genuine. They have the written signature of C. M. Jackson upon the wrapper, and the name blown in the bottle, without which they are spurious.

A Green one iold. The publishers of a well known periodical in Hoston, have placed in front of their office, in jhe Tremont atreet, i vey handsome sign-board upon which is emblazoned the words, MLITTEL MTI50 40E," A greenhorn, fresh caught came to the city to look at the "gloriooe Fourth" chanced to be passing towards the Common, when hi attention waa arrested by the above cabalistic syllable. Upon one siJeof Broomfield atreet he aaw the big sitm, upon the other the word uMuseum.n "Wall, said he to himself, "Pre hearn tell of them museums, but ft 'living age,' big or little, must be one of the curiosities we read about. He stepped quietly across the atreet, and wi ping his face approached one of the windows in which were displayed several loose copies of the work. He-read upon the covera"I.ittePs Liv ing Age," and upon a card "Popular Magazine only one of its kind in the country cVc. "Magazine! wall, thai beats thunder all tc smash! J'vc hearn abaout paouder magazines, an'nll that wall, I reckon 1 II see the critter, en ny how!" and thus determined, he cautiously approached the door. . A young man stood in the entrance. When does it opes?" asked the countryman. What, air?" What time docs it begin?" "What?" "The show." "What show?" "Why, that are this," continued our inno cent friend, pointing tip to the sign. The young man evidently supposed the stran ger insane and turning on his heel walked into the office. "Wall, I tlunno 'baout that feller, much but reckon I hav'nt cum a hundred miles to ho fool ed I ain't, and I'm goin' to see the critter sure." "Hello! I say, Mr. Wat's name, there, door keeper?

By this time a crowd had collected in and about the doorway, and the green 'un let off something like the following. "That chap as went in fust thar ain't nobody, ef he has got as waller tailed coat on. My mon ey's as good as hia'n, and it's a free country to day. This young man ain't to be fooled easy, now, I tell you. 1 cum down jf see the Fourth, I've seen the elephant, and now I'm bound to see this critter. Hello, there, mister!" As no one replied to him, however, he ventur ed again into the oflicc, with the crowd at his heels, and addressing one of (lie attendants, ho in quired "What's the price, nabur?" "The price of what, sir?" "Of the show." "There's no show here" "No show! What'n the thunder do you leave the sign out for then?" "What do you want to sec?" sakl another gen tleman. "Why, I want to'sce the animal." "The animal?" "Yes the critter." "I really do not understand, sir." "Why, yes yer dew. I mean the wot's name out there" pointing to the door, "Where?" "Hav'nt you got a sign over the door, of a lit tie livin', sunithin hereabout." "Littel's Living Age." "That's the critter them's um trot him aout, nabor, yerc's yer putty." Having discovered that he was right, (as he supposed) he hopped about and got near the door airain. Pending the conversation, some rascally wag in the crowd, had contrived to attach a hall-dozen of lighted fire-crackers to the skirt of ourgrrcn friend's coat, and as he stood in (he attitude of pas sing as he supposed to the door-keeper's quarter crack, bang! went the fireworks, and at the same instant a loafer sang out at the lop of his lungs "Look out! the critter's loose?" Perhaps the countryman didn't leave a wide wake behind in .that crowd, and may be he didn't astonish the multitude along Collonade Row, as he dashed towards the Common with his smo-, king coat tail streaming in the wind. Our victim struck a bee-line for the Providence depot, reaching it just as the cars were ready to start. The crowd arrived as the train got tinder way, and the last we saw of the "unfortunate, he was seated at a window whistling most vocif erously at the engine to hurry it on. Boston Alias.

'',"''' After walking about the cabia for awhile, the father and son stopped within a few feet of where, we were sealed, and began preparations forgoing' to bed. I watched them. The father adjusted and arranged the bed iffe child waa to occupy, which was an upper berth, while the little fellow was undressing himself. Having finished this, his father tied a handkerchief around his head, to protect his curls which looked as if the sooHghr from his young happy heart alwaya rested there This done I looked for him to seek bis resting place: but instead of this, he quietly kneeled down . upon the floor, pat his little hands together so beautifully childlike and simple, resting his arras on the lower berth, against which he knelt, hat began his vesper prayer. . v The father sat by his side, and waited the con clusion. It was, for a child, a long prayer, but well understood. . I could hear the murmuring . of his sweet voice, but could not distinguish the Lwords he spoke,' .There were men around him Christian men retiring to rest without prayer; or if praying at all, a kind of mental desire for Crotection, without sufficient courage or piety to :tcel down in a steamboat's cabin, and before' strangers, acknowledge the goodness) of God,"$r ask his protecting love.

He, alone, of this worldly multitude, draws nigh, tot heaven. I thank the parental love that taught him to lisp his evening prayer, whether Catholic or Protestant, whether dead or alive, whether, far off or nigh. I eould scarce refrain from weep- ing then, nor can I now, as I see again that sweet child, in the crowded tumult of a steamboat's cab in, bending in devotion before his maker. But a little while before, I saw a crowd of ad miring listeners gathering about a company o j Italian singers in the upper saloon mother and ' her two sons, with voice, and harp, and violin; but no one cared for die child at prayer. v"- W hen the little boy had finished his evening devotion, he arose and kissed his father most aA fectionately, who pat him into hie berth to teat for the night. licit a strong desire te speak for them but deferred it till morning. When morn ing came, the eonfusion of landing prevented me from seeing them again. But, if ever I meet thai boy in his happy youth, in his anxious manhood, in his declining years, I'll thank him for thai in fluence and example of that night's devotion, and bless the name of the mother that taught him. 1 Scarcely any passing incident of my lite ever made a deeper impression upon my mind I went to my room, and thanked uod that I had witnessed it, and for its influence on my heart.

When his mother was told that her youngest son was on bis horse impatient to be gone, descending from the tower of the castle, whither she had retired to weep bitter tears for his departure, she thus addressed and commanded of him three things; the first was "to love God above all things, and recommend himself night and morning to God, and serve hirn without offending him in any way, if it might be possible." The second thing was "to be courteous to all men, castingaway pride; neith er to slander or lie, nor be a tale-bearer, and to be temperate and loyal." The third was "that he should be charitable, and share with tlie poor whatever gifts God should bestow upon him." These were commands which he implicitly obey ed: and for his observance of them he waa in debted for a title far above that of prince or no ble, that of "the knight without fear and without reproach. I rom bov to man he was beloved and respected for his courtesy, bravery, benevo lence, invincible integrity, and piety. Francis the First would receive the honor of knighthood from no hands but his. . Being once asked what possessions a man had best leave to his son, Bay ard replied, "Such as are least exposed to the power of time or human force, wisdom and vir tue." Being mortally wounded in a battle in which the enemy were commanded by the Duke of Bourbon, the Chevalier Bayard caused himself to be placed against a tree. In this situation, calmly wailing for death, he was found by the Duke, who expressed sorrow for hia fate. "Pi ty not me," said the Chevalier, "1 die in the dis charge of my duty; but pity those who fight against their country ana ttictr oath. .

"The chief lady of the douar wae too busy' for ceremony; she left that department to her husband. She was first lieutenant. But one evening, as we were returning to the douar she signified that she had something to say, and eou ducting me into the tent, made me ait down and herself opposite, said' Christian, since the wives and daughters of your country's shieks neither cook nor weave, nor make butter, nor look after the guests, or sheep, what do they doI" Having already avowed that the greatest sluek in, the English country had not in his tent, or in bis house, a spindle or loom, I explained how our ladies occupied themselves. She shook her heat! and said ' It is not good;' but added, after, a pause. ' Are your women happier than we V I answered, ' Neither of you would take the life7 of ihe other; but when I tell my country women about you they will be glad to hear, and they whT not say, 'It is not good.' 'Christian, she said, what will you tell pi me ?' I answered, I wilL say I have seen the wife of an Arab hiek,"and the mistress of an Arab tent, such as we read of in the writings of old, such are the models held up loour young maidens; such as we listen to' only in songs, or see in dreams.

At Bordentown, N. J., he other day the managers of the railroad to Trenton were put to a nonplus. The locomotive which waa to carry the morning train to Trenton, was mis sed, and could be no where found. The engineer was compelled to get another, with which he went to Trenton, where he found the runawsr. It seems that some time during the night an insane fellow, had gone to the engine, made a are, took in water, greased the machinery, and then set off on an excursion f his own down the road. .
