The distant sea, seems with a loader moan
Ts ill the buried hosts, gone down to rest
la its unfcthomable vaults, and wait

The sternal morn shall sudden rise, and " pierce
The dark profound," and the Archangel's trump
Awake the sleepers.
How the low night wind whispereth to the leave*
And the lose waterfall, with deeper tone,
Harm era wild music, to thtf far off hills,
While one by one, the sable night doth light
Her homing lamps, and o'er the earth
JUet toll the shadowy curtain of repose
This is the charmed hour, wfien the rapt soul
Doth hi a dreamy trance shake off the chains
Of earth, and mortal mould—and soar
On spirit wings, far through the misty maze
Of vanished years, to wander with the dead
Of ages gone;—
She sees Old Some's victorious legions pass again
Glory's triumphal Arches; Golden lyres -
Give back the classic songs of other days,—
Sages and Seers, and holy Cloistered Saints
Again are teaching in prophetic tone,
Or lighting with heroic hand, the altar fires
Of the feat Christain Temples; vesper hymns
Seem floating with unearthly melody
'Neath holy domes, long bnried in the dust.

Db. Hoonasn's Geeka* Bitters.—This celebra-
ted medicine, prepared by Dr. (J. M. Jackson, at the
Imposing German Medicine Store, No. 120 Arch
Street, is exciting unprecedented public attraction,
and the proprietor, who is a scientific physician, is
selling immense quantities of it. The virtues of
this remedy are so fully set forth in the extended
notice of it, to be seen in our advertising columns,
that there is hardly any room left for us to speak
of it. This much we may add: Of the long train
of physical ills to which humanity is heir, there is
none more distressing than the general derange-
ment of the digestive apparatus, which never fails
to accompany a disordered state of the liver*.
Headache, piles, languor, fretfulness, a billions
tongue, a morbid breath, loss of appetite—in short ,
an indescribable wretchedness of existence, are its
insufferable and life-wasting attendants. These
diseases, which have baffled the skill of the ablest
Doctors, have been radically cured by Hoofland's
German Bitters. See advertisement. [Dec. 23:4.

er disposed of at private sale,) several fine work and rigor to the frame. Persons of sedentary ha-
" " bits should occasionally use them, as they will
prevent depression of the spirits.
Weak and delicatc persons are made strong by
using these Bitters; in fact, they are a family me-
dicine, that can be administered with perfect safe-
ty to a child, a delicate female, or an old person.
Persons visiting districts harrassed annually with
fever and ague, will, by a timely use of these Bit-
ters, escape this distressing disease. Prevention
is better than cure.
Full directions for their use will be found with-
in the wrappers about each bottle.
These Bitters require no certificates of remark-
able cures; the name of Dr. Joseph W. Robertson-,
as their patron, is a sufficient guarantee, he having
prescribed them for many years in his private prac-
tice, with the greatest success; and the demand for
them having increased to so great an extent, that
it has become necessary to manufacture them ex-
tensively for public distribution.
Persons who may wish to sell these Bitters, as
agents, will please address. F. T. DUFFAU,

AUSTIN MALE SEMINARY.
TTJE will open a school in the city of Austin on
VV Monday, the 20th of February, 1855. It is
our purpose to have a school in which the youth
of tlfe country may receive a complete and thor-
ough course of literary training. We expect to
teach the branches of a substantial English edu-
cation, as pursued in our best colleges, together
with the Classic Languages. The higher branches
of Mathematics and the Natural Sciences will re-
ceive our special attention; and to give the stu-
dents a clear insight into the practical utility of
these, in relation to Plane Surveying, Civil Engineer-
ing, Agriculture, §c., will be considered a matter of
the first moment.
The scholastic year will be divided into two
sessions of live months each, and the course of
studies into three departments.
Terms.
Primary Department.—Spelling, Reading, and
Writing, and the first lessons in Geography, Eng-
lish Grammar and Arithmetic $10 per session.
Middle Department.—Geography, English
Grammar, Arithmetic and first lessons in the Natu-
ral Sciences $15 per session.
Senior Department.—The various branches of
Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, -4s-
tronomy, Geology^Classic Languages, Logic, Rhe-
toric ; English, Latin and Greek Composition ; In-
tellectual and Moral Philosophy &c $25 per session.
Those wishing information concerning the
school, will please address us at Austin by letter.
We trust that those interested in building - p an
institution of the kind we propose to establish,
will give us their assistance and patronage.
We do not propose a school for five months or a
year; but a perm«7ie>it school—one which we hope
will be a lasting benefit to the community and to
ourselves. A. B. SMITH,

Their power over the above diseases is not ex-
celled, if equalkd, by any other.^preparation ill the
United States, as the cores attest^ in many cases
after skilful physicians had failed. * ' \
These Bitters arc worthy the attention-of Inva-
lids. Possessing great virtues* in tbi rectification
of the liver and lesser glands, exercising toe most
searching power in Weakness aud affections of tlie
digestive organs, they are withal safe certain and
pleasant. "
Testimony from Texas.
B. F. Rucker, Washington Texas, Sept. 24th,
1853. savs : " I have sold tho last bottle of Ger-
man bitters to-day. It is quite a popular medi-
cine, and those who have used it speak in the high-
est terms of its salutary influence "
S. W. Fisher, Matagorda, Texas, July 15th, 1853,
says: "The German Bitters have become very 4
popular here and are moving off rapidly."
T. H. McMahon & Co., Richmond, Texas, Sept.
22, 1852, says: "We arc pleased to inform you
that your German Bitters give universal satisfac-
tion ; it is in great demand. Send as early as
practicable."
George Young, Wheelock, Texas, April IT,
1854, says: "The German Bitters have arrived
in good time for the summer sickness, and I think
there will be a good demand for them, as I find
every person who has^uscd them pronounced it the
best medicine of the kind they have ever known."
These Bitters are entirely vegetable, thereby
possessing great advantage over most of the pre-
parations recommended for similar diseases.
