other remedies arising from morbid condi-
ton of the Stomach and Liver, is DIR. Hostel
ter's Bitters. 1t not only removes the disease
from the system, but by giving tone to the
organs of digestion, aids them in their func-
tons. AL who have tried 1t acknowledge
its excellence and superiority, and we there

to Iced praise, 1t is therefore scarcely neces.

prove sufficient to satisfy all of its excellence
as relief and remedy for all diseases OF the

ELooUENcE OF A DOMINICAN FRIAR.-
There are some curious fstories respect
ing Fra Rocco, the celebrated Dominican
preacher Of Naples. On one occasion he
preached a penitential sermon, and intro,
duced so many illustrations of terror that
he soon brought his hearers to their
knees. While they were thus showing
every sign of contrition he cried out,
"Now, all of you who sincerely repent Of
your sins, hold up your hands" Every
man in the vast multitude Immediately
stretched forth his hands. "Holy Archan-
gel Michael" exclaimed Rocco, 'thou who
with thine adamantine sword standest at
the right of the judgmentseat, hew me
off every hand which has been raised
hypocritically," In an instant every
hand dropped, and Rocco of course
profted by the occasion to pour forth a
torrent of eloquent invective against their
sins and deceit

with beautiful kitten. A couple of

kitty as kittens and babies always do,
came in for any quantity Of endearments
and caresses. "Oh my" said Lizzie,
"what sweet, darling little kitty What
is its name2" ut has not been christened

dear thing, do call II Lizzie-won't your

our gallant friend, "but it isn't that kind
of a cat!" Kitty was deposited on the
floor very suddenly, and the two young
ladies were seen looking for some good

MozART's Don GIovANNL-Da Ponte
succeeded Metastasio as court poet to the
Emperor Of Austria 1t was in 1885
that Mozart first met him at Vienna; and
the poet under anything but pure or ele-
waiting Influences wrote for the great
maestro the ibretto Of "Don Giovanni"
which is nearer in character to the Eng
lish poets material conception of "Don
Juan" than the Frenchman's. Mollere' 8
"Don Juan" is reckless, bad fellow, to
be sure; but his occasional misgivings
show that there is feeling of something
better left in him: Zone must think of re.
pentance some time, Sganarelle', But
Da Ponte's is heartless, unbelieving,
scofing demon, for whom there can be no
no hope; he never thinks or talks of re-
pentance.
