'PREATMEN'F.
The principal objects to be kept In view are 1st, to free the stomach and intestines from offending materials. 2d, to improve the tone of the digestive organs and energy of the system in removing noxious matters from the stomach, antl obviating costiveness. Violent drastic purgatives sht^uld be avoided and those aperients should be used which act gently, and ralher by soliciling the per- islalic motions of the intestines totheir rtgu- lai-ity of health, than by irritating them to a laborious excitement, riiere is no medicine betler adapled lo the completion of this than Dkr. O. P. Harlicu's German Aperient Pills. To improve the functions ofthe de¬ hilitaled organs and invigorate the system generally, no medieine lias ever been so pi-ominently efficacious as Dr. Harlich's Compound'Tonic Strengthening Pills, whose salutary influence in restoring the digestive organs to a healthy action, and re-establish¬ ing health and vigor in enfeebled and dys- pelic constiiutions; have gained the implicit confidence of the most eminent physicians, and unprecidenled public testimony.

From Bentley's Miscellany. THE GRAVE.
FROM  THE  GERMAN   OF ROSEOAHTEN.
Fearful is thc Grave:
Cold winds round it kneeling.
Misty showers svvellng,
Gritf and terror make their dwelling In the silent Grave.
Lonely is the Grave:
Soft doth that sliUness call.
Cooler the shadows tall.
Deepest peace is whispering all In the quiet_Grave.
Dismal is the Grave:
Irksome is that narrow wall;
Its breadth, and length, and' depth, and height.
Just seven paces boui,ds them all. Dismal is the Grave.
Lovely is the Grave: A sweet defence its narrowness: From the ever wearying press. From the juggling pageant proud. From the fools in trolley crowd. Shields us well that nariow shroud.
Lovely is the Grave.
Dismal is lhe Grave: Its darkness blackei' than the night. Through which no sunbeam glances bright, Nota star may ever gleam. Or the softer moonlight stream;
Dark aud dreadful is the Grave.
Lovely is the Grave:
Its shadow flirging
O'er the weak wanderer, and refreshment bringing:
While its cool breast
Lulls the hot weai-y filgrim to his rest Lovely is the Grave.
Fearful is the Grave:
Rain is rushing, thunder growling;
Driving hail, and winds are howling. Round the storm lash'ed Grave.
Lovely is the Grave:
O'er tne turf'd hillock spring winds blow" ing,
Sweet at its foot thc viol ets growing;
And on it blooms Forget-me-not; There falls thc moon's pale beam, Hesper's cold rays, & morning's rosy gleam. While echo's half-heard note And plaintive wailings float
Around the grass grown spot. Lovely is the Grave.
Lohely is the Grave:
There all living sounds are mute;
There is heard no wanderer's foot.
Joyous greetings never come
To visit that eternal gltxim— Oh! how lonely is the Grave!
Ay' is the Grave so lonely? 'Prue joy's wild revel only, Ahd Folly's laughing glance. And Riot's noisy danbe.
They visit not the Grave; But the life-weaned sage, 8c Sorrow's child. The Son of Song, will wander mild Beside the quiet grassy heap. And muse upon sts secret deep.
Not lonely is the Gra-lre.
Senseless is the Grave:
Deaf and speechless, numb'd and cold.
Clothed alone in darksome mould,
Hope's glance of light.
And Fancy's visions bright.
And Love's delight. Lost are they all wilhin the senseless Grave. Fearful, fearful is thc Grave!
Lovely is the Grave:
All the discord, all the strife.
All lhe ceaseless feuds of life. Sleep in thc quiet Grave.
Hush'd is the battle's roar.
The fire's rage is o'er.
The wild volcano smokes no more— Deep peace is promised in the lasting Grave. Lovely, lo-irely is thc Grave!

The Visit.
Id one of the Iree'zing days of our cli¬ mate, a young physician, but recently mar¬ ried, invited his wife tn accompany him on a visit to one of his patients.
Vou are romancing James; what, vi¬ sit a family wiihout an intruduction, or exchan;;ing cardsr''
"In this family, my dear Amanda, there is no ceremony of cards," said James ; "but they will not be less pleased tu see you."
"I never used to go out to see people," said Amanda thoughlfulty; "but," contin ued she. after a shurt deliberation, "I'll go with you any where."
They passed the handsomest stieet uf their residence to a public square, and crossing over, eutered a small alley, in which Amanda saw a row ol houses in a manner that showed they were for the la¬ boring class. Crossing the vvhole range they entered the last house, and at the first door Dr. Ledson gave a gentle rap. A coinmun woman opened it and welcom¬ ed him.
Two chairs were immediately set, one wilh the back broken and the other rickety and unstable.
licfore the fire were two little children seated on the hearth, making a noi^e which the attendant female vainly endeavored to quell. A girl ol about ten years el age came out ol a small pantry bed-room and smiled as she spuke.
In a lai'ge rude chair sat a thin female. She looked up when Dr. Ledson addres¬ sed her, but neither smiled nor spoke. Her complaxion was sallow by illness ; her lower jtw had fallen Irum its socket, and her teeth chattered with the vain en¬ deavor to close her mouth.
On 'receiving some nourishment from the hands of her companion, she seemed revived.
"I nm glad to see you, doctor, though I had hoped to have been released Iroin my wretchedness belore now. I do not complain; but my bones have started through my skin, and I sutler—" she shi¬ vered and stopped an instant.
"I thought It very hard when I lost my baby last suminer; but I see it was kinil- what would  have become of it now? must leave these,  young as  they are, to take tare of themselves, as my husband is none of the steadiest."
She did not weep—she was past all human feeling. Amanda luoked on in silence. She had learned more of life's stste from this scene than could have been aci]uircd from volumes. She felt now a wiser woman at eighteen, than she would otherwise at twenty-five.
It brings dovvn all our vanity and repi- nings. a spectacle ofsuch woe. Even the almost total insensibility of the sick was more touching than ordinary sorrow. It gave a feeling of so much that must have been endured before.
"Is this your sister?" asked the woman. "No." said James, and .\manda smiled as he replied "she is my wife."
"Is she your vvife?" said she, showing some vivacity, "how sweetly she looks I Can she sing? Oh, can she sing 'I would not live always?' "
How often h,id Amanda sung tbat care¬ lessly befoi 0. She felt awed and humbled b^ every syllable that floated on her solt rich tones through the confined apartment. 'Phe dying looked up so thanklully that she even looked pretty. A light iieclic relieved her vivid countenance. She said audibly, "1 hear the angels singing now around me," and then relapsed into a mo¬ notonous groan of weariness.
The litUe girl shook hands beseechingly as the young couple left, and ib a subdu¬ ed voice Amanda whispered, "we will take care ot you."
¦W'ho like the physician, save indeed the minisler, is called upon to see human nature in every shadow of a tint? 'Phe rich and the poor, the delicate and the learned aijd the ignorant come before him without disguise.
Amanda thought before that she had loved her husband ; but it is a dead-sea atmosphere, in which the noble passions sicken and lie motionless. She clung to James as he returned home with a leeling of devolion lo him which she had never imagined before; and in the pleasure she experienced in softening the horrors of her lellow creature's poverty, she fuund every d,iy new cause to rejoice in having shared her fortune with one, who, if he brought wilh ker no addition of earthly wealth, had taught her that there is a way of employing it that will awaken delight.

By the Aulhor of  "The  Old Clock—Here She Goes—There She Goes ! "
Ko one who passes Ihrough S	
street, up town, goes by the residence of
old Mr. G , withuut looking up at
the parlor windows, for at ot5e of them the old rich, gouty fellow usually sits for hours, "the ,observed nf all observers." 'Phere are many, too, ainong the dashing young men of the city, who look up at those windows in hopes not to see him. but to see another—a charming girl, na¬ med Charlotte—his ward !
Charlotte is a perfectly fascinating creature—elegant in manners, and. what is more lovely, mentally accomplished. Her money, in some men's eyes, however has glistened more than her other charms. 'Phe old gentleman, however, knows a thing or two, and though rather hard of hearing and not very nimble, even when nimbleness would be a virlue, yet he has gained the reputation ol being as goud a guardian as nny that ever figured in a nov el or play. Rich as Crccsus himself, he takes good care that his ward be unshorn of her treasures, so long as he has an eye to watch, a tongue to caution, or a foot to kick a fellow into the street. If there be anything,  however,  that  Mr.   G
TnANSrosirioN.—An nld covieordered his son to turn out the saddle and hang up thc mare. Said he to a neighbor, "vvhen I came home yesterday, I found my wife ajar, and the doors sick a bed, the gate left the boys open, and the field was in the hogs, so 1 caught up a hog and broke it over every rail's back in the field, and every pumpkin touk up a hog and run!"

particularly prides himsell upon where he should least do so, it is upon his knowledge of stocks, and many a call does he havcTl-om the getters up"ol "fan¬ cies," in the hope that he may become a purchaser. VVe are afraid to say more, least vve should draw a potrait, where an outline sketch is only intended—and so enough.
Thus much we might have said just one week ago, as a few 'known ones about town can declare; but exactly thus we ought not to say to day. The why will be seen in the sequel.
iletty is the duenna at Mr. G 's,
and a leinale alter thc heart of the old man — a confiilantc, a housekeeper ofthe ra¬ rest qualities—in her character precise and rigid. On Monilay morning last, she opened the door to as nice » little man as ever crossed its threshold—young, bloom¬ ing, and handsome—a very pattern of a lover. His mme—Charles Gerald. He had seen Charlotte from a window in a neighboring house; he had talked with his fingers till they ached; he looked with his eyes till they watered; and so had Char¬ lotte done the same, by which commu¬ nications the fond lover had discovered that there was nothing to be gained except by a desperate act, lor on his proposing to write a billet-doux, the reply was that he would have to bring it himself, and that then all might be discovered. Charles had anticipated as much. So he had de¬ termined to put a plot forvvard on the very morning already named.
He was shown into the parlor, where the old man was seated, and, as ho enter¬ ed, the folds ofa petticoat floated through a closing dtlor.
Good morning, Mr, G———, I have the honor to introduce mvseif to you as Mr. Gerald.'"
"Goud moining,"   answered   the old man dryly; "take a scat.     Your business with me ? " "My'ousiness; yes sir; my business,
yes sirj is "
"Is what?" piped the old man. •'Yes, sir."
"No, sir ! youi- business 1" "Yes, sir.'' "tyell,8ir." "Well,!"
"Well,! wish tb intioduce to your no¬ tice, Mr. G- , an invention of im¬ mense commercial importance, which  is now under the control of a compsny." "What is It, sir ?"
"It is, sir "
"What—-vhat is it ?" "It is the Sub-Maririe Armor !" •'Sub.what?    /t sounds too much like Sub-'Preasury.    What, is it an armor of defence against that monster?"
"No, sir. It is more like a monster itself!"
'-Well, well," said the old man, "there are so^many monsters novv-a«days, that mere trifles, by-and-by. will be the great monsters."
"The ]iurpose of this invention," said Charles, "is to go to the bottom of the sea, and." recover lost properly—to visit sunken^ vessels. &c."
"Ah—ah ! I reinember—it was pufTed in the newspapers, long sgo," said the old man.
"Yes, sir, it was noiiced," said Charles "/wish.you would look at it, and, peihaps you will

said Mr. G ."but the weather is too

"Oh, Mr. G- -," interrupted Char
les, "It can be brought here, if you have no objection."
•'Of course, /have nol." said Mr. G
'Curiosity alone would prompt ine tu look at it.    When can ^sce it?"
Charles' eye brightened. The commn- nication ot his hopes seemed at hand. "/ wilt bring it ap this afternoon," he repli¬ ed; and thus having settled the matter, h« bade the old man goud morning.
It wss Monday afternoon. A carriage with the windows curtained, vras wntcn- ed by ihuusnnds, as it rolled along Irous
>Vall street up fo S   stieet.     WTiea
it arrived before the door of the house, the driver reined in his ill-matched her* ses, and Charles Gerald quickly came furth from it. and ascending the steps ot
Mr. G 's house, pulled the bell.
Betty opened the door. Ii vvas all right. Charles rushed tothe carriage.
"Come I go out. Major.'" said Charles hastily.
"/can'tbreathe. Charier. Curso mc if /can."
"/freathe if von can, for heavens sake,'' said Charles."
'-Tiiat's what / want to do, " replied the Major, '-but / can't. Pump in some more air—pnmp. pump, pump, or / shall die 1"
Charles sprang up to fhe air-pump, and having pumped in a Iresh sapply of the atmosphere, the Major breathed once more fiecly, .ind announced himself ready le go ahead.
The pair prepared lo ascend the steps, and the carriage driver bore ,in his arms thc air-pump and large coils of the air and conversaiion pipes.
'-Heaven per serve ns i " exclaimed Betty, as she stood in utter amazemant at the scene. The brass bound, iron- bound, armor cramped. Major made the bestof his way into the hail, while Char¬ les gave directions to the driver to await lheir return.
The two sparks 'Were (ihown inlo tho parlor. "Pump, for Heaven's sake 1" cried the man in lhe armor, and awaj vvent the pump like a steam engine.

'•Ah, this is the —" said Mr. G

while he forced in the atmosperc again.

"01 yes, sir: a porter, who is hired to show the invention in a correct manner." The old man put on hig spectacles, and came nearer. "Well," said he, "/ de¬ clare it seems to ine a very important ia vention. But can the man move with ease in the water ? Can he see plainly?" "Oh. yes.' Walk a little," said Cbarfet through the conversation pipe.
The Major staggered across the room as we'l as he could- but aligosi tumbled down.

In a mDment Charlotte entered.   'Ah,'
