The miasma which generates epidemic feyers

as refuse animal and vegetable matter, emits
unwholesome vapors and in crowded cities and
the dense assemblages which business and pleas
ure. call together the elements of disease are
evolved. The pressure upon every vital organ
is never so great as in the second and third
months of simmer, and common sense teaches
MS that these organs require to be reinforced to
meet it. ,.
we hold our lives. go to speak, on repairing
Lease, and this is the season when the process Of
dilapidation is most rapid and repairs are most
required. Therefore build up, prop and sustain
the po,rerS Of nature with that mighty vegetable
recuperant, HOSTETTER'SB ITrERS. He who
takes it may be said to clothe himselfin sanitary

poisoned shafts in vain. This Is no gratuitoui

twelve years experience in very-elimate of the

CosncAL SCENE IN CHuKcn;mva
SABBATH last, in one OF our plom aaU as
Broad street churches, the cioseh1oS ~
the atmosphere produced an alm nno
Irresistible feeling of drowsiness ainons
many of the congregation. VI Inc mum,
her who found it impossible TO DENY tne
drowsy god was one of our most sue
cessful business men, whose honest CHORUS
TO throw off the somnific influence ne
was under were witnessed by several
lookers-en. At last he succumDed; MS
eyes went shut and failed to como open
again, and his head began TO ned TO tnls
and that neighbor quite iamillarIy.
Presently the sieeper's head SLOWLY penI
toward its owners wife, and continued
to sag sog in that direction, until o dell
cate sprig on my lady's hat pointed di-
rectly into the ear of the snoozlng nus
band. One more lurch OF the head on
"that line" would cause the tapering
sprig to enter, and peculiarly affect the
sensitive portion of that delicate organ
and several persons in the gallery were
giving breathless attention to the scene,
fully anticipating an extraordinary de'
MONUMENT when the connection between
the ear and sprig should be effected. AT
last it came, the heavy head made an.
other sag wife-ward, full inch, the
sprig passed into the ear as nicely as il
it had been pointed by roguish hands
and, penetrating to the inner and most
sensitive portion, tickled the nodding
gentleman SO intensely that he drew ul
lis head with a jerk, and striking out
with his right hand before he was fairly
awake, dealt his wife blow full upon
her new bonnet, to the utter discontinue
of its flowers and ribbons, and to the
infinite amusement of the lookers-on in
the gallery.-Newark (N J) Courier.

That Extra Pay.

-.
The Rochester, N. Y, onion ana Adre''-
tiser, while commenting upon the strange
spectacle of a Republican member OF
Congress refunding to the United States
Treasury his extra pay, and compll'
menting Mr.. HUBBARD upon his rare
honesty, very innocently remarks that
Mr.. SPINNER has returned the drgt 70
Mr.. HUBBARD for his Endorsement w"'c"
had JeeW overlooked, and for instructiohS
as to what fund Mr.. HUBBARD desires
the sum applied to, inasmuch as the
money has been appropriated already
and is subjected to the direction OF the
payee."
This exhibits in still stronger llghs
the suddenness of the Impulse
that impelled our dlstinguiSneu
friend to "drop like hot potato 'no
twenty-six hundred dollars that Dur
tbeued his conscience and his purse
During an entire week after his re-
turn to the embrace of his loving con-
st;tnents he was "calm and serene.
But twenty-four hours hadscarce elapsed
after his announcement as candlda'e
for a second term of Congressional mar
tyrdom. ere that horrid draft rose up to
torment him before his time. The TWEEN
Nv six hundred dollars locked like TWEEN
ty-six hundred votes given to his oppo-
nent, and such was his agony in view OIL
the dire apparition that, without mo-
ments longer delay, with trembling and
nervous haste, he dispatched the
unlucky draft back to Washington city
whence it came, forgetting the endorse
ment that was necessary to make 1t pay
able to any person except himself When
we take into account the fact that Mr..
HUBBARD is Banker and may therefore
he supposed to be familiar with the
usages of the business world, the snd-
den. fierce and O'errnastering grippe OF
conscience that wrenched away from
him that fatal draft and bewildered his
senses so far as to make him forget the
necessary endorsement, may well awaken
our establishment and excite our pity
But, if the RochrstcU laiOA be correct,
the pangs of oar exemplary Congress
man are not vet over. The draft has re-
turned and the Struggle must be again
renewed The ia'cful paper must be
handled again; the name of the unlucky
recipient must be written npon it's back
and, Oh dreadful chance! another letter
must be indited saying to what. purpose
the money shall be applied, before these
twenty-six hundred ghosts viii down
or relax the torturing hold they have
upon the conscience of our model mem
Der. We are constrained TO wonder
somewhat that the second epistl9 o
CHESTER has not yet found its way mt
the columns of the MtellgeReeT, bus We
confidently expect that it will appear e''
long illustrated by o fac simile cut OF toe
famous draft, properly endorsed, and
possibly, picture of our representative
in the act Of determining to send 1T back
Certainly some further explanation al
the affair will be afforded; the money ha'
been traced to Wheeling the second time
but where it now is is still unknown to
anxious thousands e,
