My soul was fired with patriotism yesterday and I concluded that the best way to work it oft was, to go and register my name among those who possess the inestimable right of the 1 elective fraaciuse, I thought of the dignity of holding office' and drawing my pay every, month of laquey s to do my bidding to run at my call arid all those delightful episodes in au office-holders career, i I pictured myself as an alderman, with a gold-headed cane and .black clothes, and ' then I dreamed of the Marshal's position, presiding with dignity over the deliperatiohs of the police force;; again I thought of the Mayors " place ireceiving fines oh, that is the (place for me ! i Well,! I went to the . City .Hall, to calculate my chances upon getting up to the board before tho long string of anxious aud incipient voters should record their names, but I didn't succeed. I flew about for a while and then took my place at the foot of the String (not ; red) in order to reach I the Board. ' After steppins: alons: one step at-a time for a couple of hours 1 stood in the presence of the august Board, (a pun on the word August lieu a mueureu coming up so s.uaaeniy upon those ( Registers, and I think they: are rightly called a "Board," for they were f the worst bored of any , perspnis I have jnet lately, f i removed my hat, smiled gently and asked if thfy would con descend to receive the name of an individual whose modesty so towered above liis real met its that he had lived a life of misunderstood retire ment far a long space of periods, j The B6ard inr timated that they would be happy to receive my name, and were just going to take it,. (I had it all written out to give them) twhen a'stranger stepped up and challenged me! I told him that it was not the fighting editor, . that j had always inclined to the Quaker persuasion 'and besides I was conscienciously opposed to duelling. He remarked that he "wasn't on that ay himself,' but he didn't think I had a right to register be- cause 1 bad given aid and conifort to the "rebels." i I said nothing: here, because I had nothing to say. The head centre !of the Board said : "Mr. Bird, xrnn' otror o-iVAl ilTIV aifl fir comfort to the rebels ?" v i I replied, that I had, that on' many occasions when they- were in prison I ha'd visited them, when they were naked I had clothed . them and when sick I had ministered unfo them. A thrill of horror ran through the crowd ! A Southerner said I was unfit to associate with high toned men Of the South ! Which it was ; impossible for me ' to hae jdone as I said lor no Southern prisoner ever received any kindness from thej Yankees' 4-which! they were the sorryest run of) men he everseed! i Nothing daunted,; however, I again turned to the Board and this time with the thun derbolts; of rage gathering upon "my brow, and my piercing eye gaiing full upon them I asked what next t The Board said that" it was a great responsibility that had been forced uponuiem, but if I had been a soldier I could appreee the necessities of obeying orders. I answered, fire away. ::;v'f - 1 y,-'; ': .' ... . ; . . - I!' Well sir," said the Board, Vwillyou swear that you! are twenty-one years of age?" ; j 1 'answered, "I swear."

I remarked that I was born of " poor but hon est parents," like Crusoe of long agothat I had passed a great portion of my Ule m the country, and that the state of my finances was such as to preclude the necessity , of aiding to ubhold this great and glorious country ; therefore I seconded the mntinn without amendment! i -: ' j The Board then asked me if I had a strawberry1 mark on my lert arm, wnicn Demg answered In the negative, I was declared a citizen and entitled to all the rights , of citizenship to belsued-fto pay taxes and to hold office. j a 1- j .

Intelligent persons and physicians can judge on the efficacy of the Plantation Bitters from'the following! partial formula : ! ; CASCARILLA BARK Was known and used in Germany for Dyspepsia, Chronic i)iarrhoea,.Cholic, Dysentery, and Dis- e ases ef the Stoaiach and Bowels, as early as 1690 DANDELION.!

Humboldt makes favorable mention of the febrituge qualities of this article as an Anrtidote Fever and Ague, Intermittent and Malaridus Fevers, in his extensive South American ' t ravels. The Countess, wife of the Viceroy Oi Peru, having experienced the benefi cial effects of the Bark, sent it to Europe in 16401 It was sold by the Jesuits for the enormous sum ofilstoeight in silver, and was thus called Jesuits Powdbb. ! In 1658, Sir John Talbot employed it with great success in France, in the treatment of Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, j Nervous Affections; Loss of Appetite, Weakness and ! Debility, Pal-f pitation of the Heart, Diarrhoea, &c., under the name of English Powder ; and in 1679, he sold the secret ol its origin to Louis XIV, by whom it was divulged.
