why Men Like to Drink.

The following article, from the pen of
Horace Greedy, is taken from the Herald of
Health.
The Greek root of the word intoxicate
means poison. Whoever says man is in
toxicated, says he is poisoned. And itist true.
Give a part of glass of ordinary spirits to
q child three or four years old, and the
child is in twenty minutes in congestion
fit, End probably dies. Itoperates precise
" like strychnine, arsenic, Or any other
deadly drug. Commence by giving 9
child thimbleful at time, and gradually
increase the amount, and you may indu.
rate him SO that he will swallow As much
st "a time as would kill him at first. You
nay begin with any other poison, and do
the same thing. Our physical frame work
is constructed with reference to this, to en-
able it to stand large amount of any
deadly substance. There is nothing pc
culiar in this action Of alcohol There is
nothing in this but the universal law that
poisons all destroy the susceptibility OF the
human frame. - 49, - = .sz-
( Why does man like to drink liquor !.
Not because it has good taste, but because
It exhilarates his nervous system. The
man takes his first glass of liquor. 1tgoes
to his stomach. Now, there is not single
human stomach, nor that of any animal
ever created on this earth, that ever did or
can digest drop of alcohol. The moment
it falls into the stomach every vital organ
recognizes the presence of deadly enemy.
-Itb precisely as if a lion were thrown into
+ 8 cage OF hgerr, And every tiger were to
recognize the lion az his deadly enemy.
The stomach cannot digest it, and 1t can

Some people think that Chronic Dyspepsia may
be cured by exercise and diet alone. This il q
mistake. The stomach must be stimulated and
regulated. and the liver and the dischargng organs
put in good working order before q cure can be
effected. Such is the operation of HOSTETTER'S
BITTERS. 30 s ia :" t'
They tone the stomach, set the liver right
And put the stomach in such healthful plight
That good digestion waits on appellee .
Many people fancy that fever and ague can
be- avoided by adopting unusual precautions
against damp and cold. Never was there a great
er falacy. There is no absolute safeguard against
TIERS. ~
To brace the frame, and make 1t ague-p proof,
To keep the causes of disease aloof," nm
There is nothing like this genial vegetable nvigo-
rant. So, too, in cases where there is predispo-
s1tion to biousness; the constitution al tendency
Is combatted and held In check by the Alternative
action of the BITrERS. =. - .
Diet and regimen are powerful allies Of fudicfous
medical treatment when the preservation OF health
In 1nsalubrfous localities is the object In view.
But they will not answer the desired end alone.
Use them as aids to the BITTERS. but do not rely
upon the efficacy Of any formula that does not in.
Guide this admirable tonic.
The Buffers consist of an unadulterated veg
etable essence (unrivalled among stmulants) med
1cated solely with herbs and roots of ACKNOWLEDGED
virtue as tonics, 1t is agreeable to the taste and
constitutions 1t may be given with perfect impu-
nifty. In fact, with these, az with those of older
growth, its wonderful recuperant properties are at
once apparent. - ~

Laugh and Grow Fat.

Heed ye all this command. Laugh while
you may. It's better to laugh than to cry.
Tears are crying evil. Don't cry for
split milk. An ocean of tears wouldn't
save drop of it Dry up and laugh.
Laugh early and often. Laughing is catch
ing. Laugh, then, and let others catch it,
and thereby become benefactor to your
kind. We will wager this is good advice.
A good Laughter never has the dyspepsia,
and lives to die at good old age, provided
he doesn't travel much on railroads. Me
thuselah was an incessant Laughter, and he
lived upward of nine hundred years but
then provisions weren't as high as new.
There were no railroads in his days Meth
er. Laugh-lsugh right out, but not in
meetin'. Don't choke laugh !; let it come
up full, clear and hearty. Even the wa
tiers laugh. Didn't Lsongfellow write Of
Z" Laughing Water?" Don't you sing OF
the round, laughing moons And then
there are laughing hyenas Don't be out
done by waters, moon, and hyenas. Re
solve to laugh from this hour. If you
can't find anything to laugh at, laugh at
yourself We warrant you have abundant
cause. At any rate, laugh We never
knew q Jolly, good laugher to be sent to
State Prison or Congress. = Exchange. e

vital organ to rid the stomach Of this

man, standing on the moon, could have q
telescope of sufficient power to enable him
to view objects ON the earth, and could
have looked upon US during the late civil
war, end have seen, dimly through the
glass, tho movements of immense bodies
of men, he would have said, "This nation
has an immense population; there is q
tremendous outpouring of the people !; this
nation is in state of extraordinary pros
perity." Precisely 50 the mans sensorial,
the point where the nerves OF sense
concentrate, recognizes in this desperate
effort Of the vital organs I to get
rid of an enemy, . sense of strength and
exhilaration in place of the languor and
feebleness he felt just before. But in q
little while, when nature has, by all her
efforts, disposed of this poison, the man
sinks down to his former condition, and .
great deal below it. Nature has made her
superior struggle; she has got rid of the
poison but she has tired herself in the
effort. The next time Nature makes the
same struggle, but she has not the same
strength. The second glass does not make
the man feel SO good. The more man
drinks, the more he has to drink to attain
a certain condition. He has to take more
and more. Nature turns constantly to rid
herself of it, but by and BY becomes tired
out and gives it up. There are men who
are not very perceptibly affected by liquor.
1t does not make them drunk It does not
hurt them, they say. But it does hurt
them. / never knew q man who drank q
good deal without becoming Intoxicated,
whom liquor did not kill fast. And for
physiological reasons. If man will take
poison, It is better to get rid of it than to
keep 1t in the system. Drunkenness is
one of Gods infinite mercies, sent to help
poor, mistaken, human beings to get rid of
the consequences of their iniquity.
What we should do depends largely
upon what we are able to do. It is not
easy to fly in the face of public opinion.
Laws will, after all, be mainly reflection
of the moral condition Of the people.
They will always be little better, but not
much better. If you should say that no
one in the country should do bad thing,
it would be useless, because human nature,
in the development to which we have
reached, would not sustain such law.
Public sentiment Is advancing 1t does
not allow men 10 make parade of vices
which were once tolerated. The time win
come when men will not be licensed to sell
alcoholic liquors, when grogshops will be
where gambling houses are now, out Of

Concerning Building a Farm
House. ~

Houses should be built in the winter, or
at least should be contrived in that season.
We have more cold than heat to provide
against. many of our houses were built
as if we lived in a tropical climate. How
many days in the year do we enjoy the
open verandah? It's very look is chilling
most of the year. The exterior outline of
some houses is SO Irregular, that not
only is the cost increased, but q larger sur
face is exposed to the cold, and the princi-
pal rooms almost isolated. We know that
q form of building nearly square gives
more room at given cost, and is more
economical of heat-both on account of
less outer surface exposed, and on account
Of The compact position of the rooms.
The objection to this form is its want of
architectural beauty. But this badness Of
look may be relieved, and q truly handsome
appearance may be given, Dy an agreeable
style of the roof, and ornamental porches
and windows. ;,.--. Il; -
The former style of building, with a hall
separating the principal rooms Of the
house, above aud below, is as well con-
trived to make cold house as any thing
can be. : 1tmakes one shudder to think of
going into LIS open hall, or into the prin-
cipal rooms opening into it. They are not
much used now-the family room beingin

dark, uninviting look in the evening.
The present rural domestic style of liv-

architecture. 1t is almost universal that
the front doors Of the large farm houses
are mo- used, except ON extraordinary oc-
casions. We 60 into the side door by the

MILF In ALL


Mile In 2:14.
Dexter has recently beaten his Buffalo time
and has fairly earned the title ofthe fastest
horse 10 the world. In June last Mr.. Bon
ner sent Dexter to the fashion Course, where
be was placed in the charge Of Mr.. William
H. Doble, who was instructed to train and
work him down to q racing condition. A few
days ago Dexter was taken on the track %
usual for his daily exercise, and several gen
tlemen who were present expressed desire
to sec the horse put to speed. Dexter was
sent to the stable, rubbed down and scraped,
and after an absence Of about twenty five min
utes Was brought back with Budd Doble as
driver. A running horse with : rider was
also provided, and placed at the three quar-
ter pole to make the round With the famous
trotter. Mr.. Turnbull, the wel-knnwn turf
man, and Mr.. Conway, Of Philadelphia, took
the judges stand and kept the time.
Dexter was trotted slowly around the first
time and as he began the second heat was
worked up, until at the quarter pole be seem
ed to be going at locomotive pace. With the
running horse at his side to incite him, Dex
ter trotted at such rapid aud steady pace as
surprised all. The first quarter mile was
made in thirty three and half seconds, the
third in thirty four seconds, and the mile in
the unprecedent time of two minutes and
fourteen seconds. Yesterday, on the same
track, Dexter trotted quarter Of . mile in
thirty seconds or at the rate of ! mile in two
minutes. The trainer says that after Dexter
has been got in better condition he will make
still better time. Whether he does or not,
bic past achievements have fairly earned for
him the name Of "King Of the Turf
