A MISERABLE sHAKER Is TfiE

A MISERABLE SHAKER IS THE
Victim to Fever and Ague. This tedious
and enervating disease is, unfortunately,
too we'll known to need description. 1t
Is strictly malarious disease, caused by
exhalations from the soil, especially from
marshes, swamps and newly cleared lands
encumbered with decomposing vegetable
matter. The chiils is one of the most
troublesome of maladies, as the patient
though he may not be confined to his bed,
is incapable of action. The experience of
years has demonstrated the fact that
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS is
a sure means of fortifying the system
against all atmospheric poison, breaking
up the paroxysms and rapidly restoring
the strength. Quinine, which has so long
been the great remedy for chills, has been
superseded by this powerful and harmless
agent; while as preventive it is un-
equalled. as its use will certainly exempt
all who may live in unhealthy localities,
from the ravages OF this disease
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is now
among the most popular, and, at the same
world. In recommending it to the public,
we are fully conscious of doing thom q
great service, knowing, as we do, their
many excellent qualities, and sure and
speedy action in all cases where the dis
ease is caused by irregularity of the diges-
tive organs.
AS tonic it is both mild and agreeable
to the taste, and stimulating in its action
upon the system. Oct 1G f6

The friends of total abstinence and pro-
hibition in Maine, are marshaled under tho
banner of temperance, each pledged to the
othcrin the mos! solemn manner, to stand
by the cause in good faith, until the work
of redeeming our State and Nation is com
pleted, and the temperance banner waves
over the redeemed from inebriation, the
length and breadth of our land.
That day of rejoicing will surely come
"Relorms never so backward" Each
wave of the rising sea will make its mark
higher upon the shore, ana carry new
courage to those who otherwise would faint
aud become weary. Progress and im-
provement are in accordance with the laws
of mind, and the eternal fitness of things
and it is as certain as (aie that the world
will be better in the future than it has
been in the past.
Public sentiment may have to settle
oae question at time, and after we settle
the great question of aaioersa! Jreedom, IN
which is involved the Nations life, there is
no other question that will call forth so ear
nest debate as the great question of tenn
perance.
Taking the bible as the basis ofour faith
and hope, we are insl ired with the assur,

The Judge appeared in person, was gram

Even on these the majority was not two

The only other national impeachment
trial previous to the pending trial Of Pres
idcnt johnson, was that Of Judge Peck of
Missouri and occurred in 1890. Judge
Peck's offense consisted in imprisoning a
citizen of Missouri for contempt OF court
by publishing a criticism on one of Peck's
decisions. The criticism was published
after the adjournment of the court. and.ai-
ter the publication of his decision by Judge
Peck himself One article OF impeachment
only was exhibited, alleging these facts,
and charging that the action was unworthy

THE MARRIAGE FEE.--Thc late Dr..
Boynton, was once dsputing with farmer
about the ease with which the minister
earned money
Now said the farmer" when You are
called upon to marry couple. YOU never
expect less sum than three dolars, and
you sometimes get ten dollars-this for a
few minutes service"
'I'onh.' replied the Doctor. II would
agree to give you half my next marriage

VERY WELL" said the farmer, "Ill tale
Your offer and send ycu the potatoes"
y few days aftcrward, he was called on
TO splice loving couple at Dogiowna
place about four miles from where he lived
When the ceremony was over , the BRIDE
groom said to TIE worthy minister
"Weil, parson. s,pose | must fork over

You to taking one of my terrier pups?

battle, for it is no mean work in which you
are engaged.
The enterprise in which you are enlisted
is in sympathy with the American pulpits.
and with every christian association de-
signed to benefit the human family. You
are doing work in which angels could
honorably engage-a work that will carry
joy to the hearts of thousands, and poster
ity will rise up and call you blessed"
In this work of love and mercy-this
Godlike enterprise, you shoald cheer each
other on, remembering that the grand oh
ject of any temperance organization, is to
drive black iatemperance from our land.
Do not sell yourselves, to a political par
ty whose general influence is against the
cause, and who would destroy You. organ
ization were it in their power; but. in so
grave matter, let every personal prcju-
dice be laid aside, and act with reference
to general good result. Do this, and you
will have the approval Of your own con.
science. and share largely in the blessing
of him "who went abont doing good."-
Around you will be gathered all those who
are deeply interested in relieving human
suffering, and the blessing of the poor vii
rest upon you.
How great; yea, how heavenly mus
be the consultations of that man, who, from
"a,
the standpoint of a dying bed, ean lool
over his past life as having been given t.
the cause Of temperance. by which suffer
ing humanity was relieved OF its wretched
ness, and the heart, once crushed and lee
ing, made to rejoice with Joy unspeakahl
and full of glory

poem of Tennyson's, and oblige one, if not al
of your readers:-
"BREAK. BREAK, BREAK,
On thy cold gray stones, oh, Sea!
And would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts tfat arise in me,
Oh, well, for the fisherman's boy,
That.he shouts with his sister at play,
Oh, well, for the sailor lad,
That he sings in his boat on the bay.
And the stately ships 90 on,
To their haven under the hill,
But, oh. for the touch of vanished hand,
And the sound of voice that is still.
Break, break, break,
At the foot Of sthy crags, oh, sea!
But the tender grace of assday that is dead,
Will never come back to me.

SECOND PAPER.

Fo1D FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN
Every parent must he aware that child
sometimes shows a decided dislike to
certain kinds of food. In such case do
not compel it to eat what nature may in
stnctiyely reject as being unfit. 1t is easy
to distinguish between rooted aversion
and a mere whim, if you will only forego
that whichyou wish the ch Ia to overcome
the petty tyranny of your own will.
Even infants, after enjoying one kind of
food for weeks, will suddenly reject it, and
refuse to take the first spoonful. This is
the voice of nature, calling for a change
of diet and you will be wise not to dis
regard it.
