"THE destinies of a nation cannot be safely

difference between the present and the past, and
who hopes to restore the precise institutions under

HOStetter'S Stomach Bittefs.

Man wants a ToEIc-no uncommon want
And every year and month brings forth new one,
Which, after examining the gazette with cant,
The age discovers to be not the true one,
or such as these let their concoctors vaunt,
I'll sing the bitters that have credit due won
The worlds great Tonic, which skill can better
Imean the matchless Bitters of Hostetter.
Doctors were living long before old Galen,
And since, exceeding learned, grave and sage;
But the stomachics they were bound TO fail in;
Success came not until this later age,
Now is the era sick folks made hale in,
And dread dyspepsia driven from the stage,
Agues, remittents, headaches-real head spitters-
Vanish like smoke before Hostetter's Bitters.
Herbs, barks and roots compose the rare infusion
No mineral poison mars their juices pure,
And Rye's mild essence holds them in solution.
The taste is pleasant, the effect is sure.
Neer have the Bitters yet proved deluson;
Try them in time, and health and strength secure,
The dragon-slayer figures the label,
And they, like him, to save the weak are able.

Poor FelloW.-We see by our ex-
changes that Allen T. Thompson, the elo-
quent gentleman who has on two or three
occasions addressed our people on the sub
ject oftemperance, and whose labors were
so fruitful OF fgood to the cause, has himself
again yielded to the gnawihgs of the in
satiate and hell-borh appetite produced by
the use of rum. We do not agree with
those Of our contemporaries who have been
so ready to denounce Mr.. T. as 'hypo-
crite''-instead of censuring, we pity him,
and point to his case as only another in
stance la proof of the potent power of the
destroyer overthe minds of men who have
suffered themselves to become addicted to
the use of Intoxicating liquors. If a man
of such genius, such mental power, be-
comes victim to its subtle influences to
such an extent as tothus publicly disgrace
himself and family, how readily should we
excuse weaker minded victims.
The men who have no pity and only
censure for poor Thompson do not appreci-
ate the power that the appetite for spir-
itOus liquors has over its slaves; and the
men who chuckle over such fall would
have laughed over the fall of the angels
had they lived at the-time Of its occurrence
We hope our friend Thompson will make
another effort to save himself, and another,
and still another, until he has succeeded
in freeing himself from the baneful in
faence of this destroyer Of human hopes
and happiness.

of Superior and Seiieca streets, this after
hoof, and melted entirely away. Wheii
discovered, he had ruin into the gutter,
with the exception Of his heels, and a few
handfuls of wool. His iiame, we believe
was. George Washington Johnson. The
poor lad leaves couple of parents to
mourn his untimely end. The Freedmen's
Bureau has been telegraphed and is ex-
pected on the next train.
"a policemaiie-haiiie not giveii--While
pacing his beat, yesterday afternoon, sud

catch basins liz the vicinity. The ageiliz-
| ing cfies that cathe forth from his liquid
remains were of the most heaft-rendiag
character. An earnest attempt was made
to bale him out, but it was unsuccessful
Only two pitts of the unfortunate man
were saved.
s'We hear it reported that two bar tend
ers, iil a West Side saloon, were dissolved,
and run into the slop bucket, Under the
counter yesterday. Their disappearance
was so quiet, that the mei1 had hot been
missed; and their dreadful fate wis fiot

a mother-in-law, two neighbors, hired
girl, and a black and tan terrier to weep
over his shocking end.

A Woman as is a WOman.-The
BUcKEYE STATE says there is woman in
that county, who can plow, fish, nurse and
sing all at once. She yokes the oxen to
her plow then slowing her twin babes in
a corn basket, suspends it to tree; attach
es COW bell to the end of her fishing rod,
which is forced into the ground at the wa
ter's edge: she then drives on her team,
and every time she comes opposite her
babes the aerial cradle receives a send,
which keeps it vibrating until she per.
forms another circuit around the "lahd,''
practicing in the meantime VARIOUS pieces
ofsacred music; and if thoughtless fish
swallows her baited hook, the obedient bell
inforhis her, when she sails across the field
and straightway dfags her victim ashore.
The va1ae Of the heroine of this story,
compared to sick1y sentimentalists who
can't sweep room or bring a bucket of
water without being broke down, is i'll
estimable.
