A single spark may kindle fame that Will

may end in fatal disorders. Bearing this in
mind, let the first symptoms of debility or

vegetable tenics of the age stands HOSTEL

the vital powers seem to lsnguish, or there is
any reason to suspect that the animal functions

the body are imperfectly performed, this valua-
BILE invigorant and antiseptic should at once be
resorted To-. Indigestion always produces
weakness of the bodily powers. Sometimes it
happens that the appetite demands more food
than the stomach can digest; though not more,
perhaps, than is required to keep up the full
strength Of the frame. The object. under such
circumstances, is to increase the digestive ca
pacity of the assimilating organ, SO rs to make
It equal 20 the duty imposed upon it by the APP
petite, and capable of supplying the building
material of the system rs fast as it is required
This object is fully accomplished by the use Of
the Bitters. They tone and gently stimulate
the CELLULAR membrane which secfetes the gastric
Juice, and the result IL that the solvent is min

vert all its nourishing particles into pure and

there is q deficiency of appetite, without any
corresponding deficiency Of digestive power, the
effect of the tonic is 10 stimulate desire for
food. In nineteen cases out Of twenty, head

to which humanity is subject, proceed primarily
from indigestion complicated with bilious ness

Buya Home.

Every labOring poor man should
buy himself a town lot-get that
paid for and then work to add the
necessary Improvement. A little
here and little there will in due
time produce you home of your
own, and place you out of the
landlords grasp. Remember that
fifty dollars year saved in rent
will in a very few years pay for
your own home, and the money
it costs you to move and shift
about, will, without any loss of
furniture and time, pay the INFER
est of a FIVE hundred dollar judy
ment against your property until
you can gradually reduce it to
nothing. You can all buy in that
way--why do you not risk it? If
you fail you are no worse Off
you succeed, as any careful man
is sure to do, you have made a
home and established q credit
equal to another, which will start
you in business.

Our Academies.

Itwas our pleasant fortune to par
take Of a portion OF the good things
prepared by the ladies of the Cum
sberland Presbyterian Church at
the old Female Academy building.
We have for long number of years
been acquainted with the building,
and ahad been in it before the war.
but Gornot recolleot to have been
there since. Upon entering it'on
Friday evening we were astOnished
- find such spacious and excellent
school rooms, and that 80 much
had been done in so short a time
to render them comfortable. 1t
speaks well for the enterprise of
Prof. Mooney. Few, we suppose,
thought Of having c comfortable
building and a school in progress
in so short q time. May it be but
the beginning of better things.
Many Of these better things are
Needed at the Female Academy,
and an effort should be made to
remedy the matter. But before
calling attention to the necessity
for more work, we will just say
that Prof. Mooney informs us that
there is now a debt for some 5000
against the building. This Ger
tainly ought to be paid up, and
we cannot think that our citizens
need anything more on this sub
iect than the information that
sueh is the case, in order to have
the incumbraHce removed.
We noticed that much more
work was wanting at the Academy
TO make it what itshould be as an
institute for young ladies. A por-
ton Of this might be done at once,
and some will require mere time.
We should think that arrange
ments to have painting, plastering
and such things, and especially
the fencing of the lot might be
made at once. The building might
be made more slightly for young
ladies, and it ought not to be left
exposed without fence. No fe-
male school should be left in such
a condition. Then as soon as a
fence is built, trees should be
planted out; and after awhile we
have hopes of seeing a fine building
going up on the old hill, that will
he an ornament and an honor to
the town.
hzd We would suggest again to
the trustees and those Immediately
interested, and indeed to all of our
citizens, for all are interested, the
propriety of adding to the ground,
by the purchase of one or more
lots in front of it. These lots may
he bought soon, we are informed,
hut hereafter may not be able to
be Bought at all.
The same remarks apply in a
.ooE measure to the Male Acade-
