Advice 80 a Dyspeysaic.

You have asked me to prescribe for you.
You expect medicine, perhaps you hope
for whisky, just now the rage for chronic
maladies, but shall give you nothing to
swallow; you have swallowed too much
already. Of all the maladies dyspepsia is
the most distressing; to get rid of its hor-
rors you would part with your right arm
believe you, but would you part with a
portion Of your table Injuries? I fear
not; but presuning you are in earnest, l
will prescribe for you.
l. Rise early, dress warm and go out-if
strong, walk; If weak, saunter. Drink
cold water three tiEes-of all cold baths
this is the best for dyspepsia after half
al hour or more, come in for breakfast.
3. For breakfast eat q piece OF good
steak half as large as your hand, a slice of
coarse bread and baked apple; eat very
slowly; talk very pleasantly with your
neighbors; avoid hot biscuits and strong
coffee drink nothing.
8. Digest for an hour, and then to your
work; l trust it is in the open sir. Work
hard till noon, and then rest body and
mind till dinner; sleep little; drink
water. -
T. For dinner-two OF three O'Clock
eat slice Of mutton CIR fish as large as
your hand, a potato, two or three spoon
1oAS VI ONACl VCSOScciCS, u oiiCC VI CCNA &C
bread; give more thar half an hour to
this meal; use no drink.
s. After dinner play anaconda for an
hour: now for the social, for pleasant
games-a good time. G
s No SUPPER little toast and tea
even, for supper, will make your recovery
very slow.
T. In 2 warm room battle your skin
with cold water, hastily, and go to bed in
8 we'll ventilated room before o'clock.
Follow this prescription for three months
and your stomach will so far recover that
you can indulge, for some time, in. all sorts
of irregular and gluttonous eating; Or i;
you have resolved, in the fear of heaven
to present your bodies, living sacrifices
holy and acceptable unto God, and will
continue to eat and work like Christian,
your distressing malady will soon be for
gctten.-Dio Le,ots, u D.

He had no notion of allowing that tempt

and a couple of other gentlemen kept

and expostulating, swearing, and blus

declare that he was q monster, and
they gave him and the baby very wide
berth.
Suddenly the whistle of the next train
from Parkersburg was heard. A bright
hope sprung up in Corban's breast. 1t was
possible the baby's mother might be on
board.
he rushed forward, but SmitheTs seized
his arm and held him back.

Mr.. Corban and Mrs. Brent, for that was
the young widows name, got very friendly
and familiar while the train was getting
ready, and Mr.. Corban took the next seat
by her side with real feeling of delight,
now. She was going on visit to some
friends in tho very city where his business
called him and he obtained permission to
call on her and inquire about the baby
And in due time-I cannot tell how it
came about, for there is no accounting for
things Of this kind-Mr Corban concluded
that he was tired of boarding -Mrs. Gregg
had become so neglectful of her boarders'

How FASHION DETERMINES TEE VALUE
OF FURs. The following is the introduce
ton to fur dealers advertisement IL
the Toledo papers: "Just quarter of a
century ago entered the fur trade, paying
IL cents for mink, 80 cents for muskrats
and So for little, yellow martin skins.
During these twenty-f years there has
been some wide ranges of prices. I sold a
lot of mink for $500 that now would have
brought $24 GOO. Then again, have sold
lot of coon for $4,000 that in London,
to-day, would not bring $4,000. The little
martin skin is now worth the same price
of a yellow dog skin-two shillirgs. The
opossum has been from three cents to
sixty; and now down to eight cents. War
has been one cause of these fluctuations !;
but that mightisr power than army,
fashion, has done the most While the
combined armies of Europe could only
put down coon and skunk so per cent,
tha. powerful goddess, fashion, run IS cent
mink up to SIS, and knocked the big black
lynx muf down to four shillings. If I
should be fortunate enough to see my
golden wedding in the fur trade, expect
to be shaking the black skunk skin
worth more money than the mink"

A M stery Explained.

Ii startling phenomena were promptly
investigated (says the Watchnaan and Re-
llector) by minds free from superstition and
fear, occurrences that appear to have SUI
pernatural origin would often find an easy
solution. Judge Parsons used to tell with
great zest of an incident in his travels,
which would have furnished food for
whole company OF village gossips.
His wife, who seemed much agitated,
walked him one night at a village inn, and
told him there was a woman sitting at the
foot Of the bed knitting. The Judge saw
the figure as distinctly as his wife, but hav-
ing no thought of supernatural origin of
the vision, began to speculate on its real
cause. After looking sharply for some
minutes, while the woman knitted OF with
unrufled composure, he was confident that
he could see the wall through her, and
that she could not, therefore, be substan
tial flesh and blood. This discovery, which
might have afrighted weaker men, only
aroused his curiosity. He at once rose
from the bed, and walking to the foot, saw
that no oEe was there-the form had van
ished.
Putting his head as nearly as possible
in the position where he had seen the
woman, the mystery was at once explained.
He saw circular hole in the shutter be-
Lin tiio UCu, UuIOuSu w uiCu rays Vi llSEt
were streaming, and going to this hole to
look through, saw woman in room on
the other side OF the street knitting.
The nerves of the wife were greatly
soothed by this discovery, and the inquisi
tive spirit Of the Judge was grati6ed by
so simple an explanation of the appari-
ton. Many ghost stories could be easily
shorn of their apparently supernatural
character by a cool ard careful investiga-
ton.

ALCOHOLIC DRINKs-The manufacture
of alcoholic drinks, under its various de-
signations, has been reduced to COM
plete science, and the expert manufacturer,
with whisky as basis, is now able to pro-
duce the most astonishing results. Even
the staple itself is nothing but villainous
compound. Strychnine, red pepper and
sulphuric acid are the most common in
gradients In what Is generally sold as
whisky New York manufacturers, by
skillful manipulation, turn out annually
100000 more bottles of champagne than
are produced in all the champagne districts
Of Europe? By passing the oil of whisky
through carbon, a Madeira is made at a
profit of 500 per cent. which few can tell
from the genuine, and with good reason.
With neutral spirits, or even with whis.
ky, vinegar, sulphuric acid, beet root, and
copperas, which is to produce the proper
astringency, port wine can be made of
equally deceptive quality, and SO on with
ali other descriptions of wine. 1t has
been stated that New York city annually
manufactures delectable stimulants to
the value of 100000.
