The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth
and professional acquirements, will compare favorably
with the most distinguished in our country. The medical
faculty constitutesan anomaly in this or any other coun
try all of them are able lecturers and the liestof teacheis.
Those who will contemplate our geographical position.
and the extent of our population, can have no doubt as to
the eligibility of our situation for an enteipriseol'thekiiid.
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.
That the public may be satisfied of the permanency of
this school , we feel it our duty to stale, that the Trustees
and Faculty form arsix in" action, which augurs well
for it future success; and (hat the peculiar internal organ
ization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.

CELEBRATED GEI1MAN BITTER 8, sbisasio st
DR. C. M. JACKSON,
AT THE GERMAN MEDICINE STORE,
120 Arch Street. 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? Hel-'o" 1
A clerk stepped to the door at once and inquir
ed the man's business.
"Wot do I want? Why I want to sco the an
imal, lhat's all."
"What animal?"
"Why this critter"
"I don't understand you, sir."' v
"Wall, you don't look as ef you could nndcr
stand nobody enny how. Jcs send the door
keapcrycrc." 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

A BEatiTwct Lrm Stoit. A tew weeks
since in coming down rhe North rirrr I
seated in the cabin of the magnificent steal, er
Isaac Newton, in conversation with sc-ne fiknd.
Il was becoming late in the evening, and one af
ter another seeking repose from the cares tad toil
of the day made preparations to retire to their
berths. Some, pulling off their boots ami coats,
lay the mselvei.down Jp rest $ . H ihr at-

I had noticed on deck a line lookinf boy, ?
about six years of age, fbllowmf romxi s) maa.
evidently his father, whose appearance indicated
him to be a . foreigner, probably a German a.
man of medium height, and respectable drew. " ; '
The child waa unusually fair and fine-looking:,
handsomely-featured, with a intelligent and af
fectionate expression of eonatenanee; and from '
under his German cap, fell chesout hair, in thick
clustering curls. s : ' - - ' . '',"'''
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. '
1 his was the training of some pious mother..
Where was she nowl How fAany time had
her kind hand been laid on the sunny, locks, a r
she had taught him to lisp his pnryera. ,.,xr if
A beautiful sight it was, that child al prayer in
the midst of the busy, thoughtless throng. . 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.

The Chevalier Bayard. 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.
Had a voice spoken front the earth,,! could
not have been more startled. It waa nature say
ing to art What is thy worth ! What do wt
know of the happiness and the uses that belong
to the drudgeries of life ? Our harvest is of the
briars and thorns, of a spirit uneasy and over-
wrought. Here are no changes in progress no
classes that hate and why ? The household

Takixo a Ride. 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. . II
passed all the stations at a flying pace, and did
not atop until he had reached Trenton, where ha
said that he only wanted to see how fast he could
make the thing go. That he escaped destruction
is almost miraculous. ."- .
