There are but few spots on our globe where HOS
TETIER'S STOMACH BITTERS are not known;
and, when known, appreciated. 5Ts
In the UNITED STATES and BRITISH AMERICA it
has become household word. AS aprotective
against malaria, epidemic fevers, Fever and Ague,
and other diseases, produced by miasmatic infu-
ences it stands far ahead of all other preparations.
and is SO considered by the most eminent physi-
clans of the day. c5Egi
In SOUTH and CENTRAL. AMERICA, MEXICO and
WEST INDIES it has obtained firm hold on the
minds of the people, and is implicitly relied upon
as certain preventive and cure for the many ma
larious diseases incident to those tropical regions
In AUSTRALIA, TASMANIA, New ZEALAND, and
adjacent Islands, its progress has been marvellous.
Merchants, Miners, Farmers, Manufacturers and
Squatters, all endorse it. Thousands already has
itsaved from the pernicious effects of miasma aris
ing from the low swampy grounds SO prevalent in
those countries. 80 ia
In CHINA and the EAST INDIES 1t is working it's
way with rapid strides, and is extensively used in
the hospitals. ',t-tf tc9a IS
In, Conservative EUROPE, even, its influence Is
being felt; and the day is not far distant when
IL -iHOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS
will become in the old world what it now is In the

Whitewash is one of the most valuable
articles in the world when properly APP
piled. 1t prevents not only the decay of
wood, but conduces greatly to the health
ness of buildings, whether of wood or
stone. Outbuildiugs and fences, when not
painted, should be supplied once or twice
year with a good coat of whfewash,
which should be prepared in the following
way:
Take clean, water-tight barrel, or other
suitable cask, and put into it half a bushel
of lime. Slack it, by pouring water over
it, boiling hot, and in sufficient quantity to
cover it five inches deep, and stir it briskly
until thoroughly Stacked. When the slack
ing has been effective, dissolve in water,
and add two pounds Of sulphate of zinc
and one of common salt These will cause
the wash to harden, and prevent cracking,
which gives an unseemly appearance to
the work.
If desirable, beautiful cream color may
be communicated to the above wash by
adding three pounds of yellow ochre or
a good pearl or lead color, by the addition
T of lamp, vine or ivory black. For fawn
color, add four pounds of lumber, Turkish
or American (the latter is the cheapest),
one pound of India red, and one pound OF
common lamp-black.
This wash may be applied with a com.
mon whteWash brush, and will be found
much superior, both in appearance and
durability, to common whitewash.

while lis elegant mansion was building.
young carpenter who had just finished
bis trade, aud whose sole property con
sisted in pair of large hands, stout.
good heart, and habits of industry and
soberness, came to work on the premises
Very naturally the young knight of the
broad axe soon fell in love with the
young ladyj and not strange to say the
young lady was equally we'll pleased with
MIN.
She spent considerable time every day
in watching the progress of the work
particularly that performed by the young
mechanic, and he found his greatest re
freshmeut, incentive and joy in working
under the watch Of her loving eyes.
The secret, however. soon became an
open one and finally was broken to the
young lady's father. He heard the sad
news without apparent concern, but In a
few minutes set off for the village, where
he made dilligent inquiry respecting the
young carpenter. who, he learned. was the
only son and support of poor widow, but
was an intelligent, capable, promising
young man. The father returned hcme,
and calling his daughter to his room be
asked her how the matter stood between
hcrselfa the young carpenter 1t was

meut her fears triumphed over all other
feelings, and she burst into tears. The
tears we're followed by confession Of an
attachment which had grown stronger
every day, even with the fear that it was
doomed to cruel disappointment; fol
the object of it was nothing but poor
mechanic.
"But | love him with all my might
and would give my life for him." said

A VALUABLE TABL T..

DR.. Magoon, recently, in lecture on
"Miud your own Business" tells the foil
owing good one "a young man went
from New York city to the West, where
he commenced business on his own account
and married. His friends in the city
were interested in his welfare, aud when
merchant was about to journey to the
place where the young maj. had located,
he was requested to visit the emigrant and
ascertain how he lived, and what sort of
a wife he had chosen, his prospects, etc.
Accordingly the New Yorker ascertained
the residence Of bis young friend, and
called upon him quite early in the NOR
ming. He found him in a small, neat
cottage, and just taking his breakfast.
The introduction Of the New Yorker to
his wife was quite off hand and uncere-
monious, and he was requested to be sea-
ted and partake of the morning meal.
The young wife had prepared the steak,
biscuit and coffee with her own hands,
and for table had used her kneading
hoard, over which napkin was spread,
and the "board" plarced on her lap The
Now Yorker declined seat at the table,
and took his leave. On making his re
port to his New York friends as to how
he found his young friend living, he de-
scribed the style as magnificent ''-apd
for explanation of the superlative, he said
that were he the owner of that young
mans furniture, he would not take ter
