Underlined Ailments.

There are many ailments, trying in their
nature, but the symptoms of which are not
sufficiently specific to enable physicians to clas.
sify them under any particular head. AS gen
eral rule they arise from a general debility Of
the whole organization but their primary cause,
in at least three cases out Of fve is lack Of
brisk vital actien IN, the stomach and liver.

medicines which have been recommended as

HoSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
Its ingredients were selected from the vege.
table kingdom, originally, with a view to the
inauguration of the physique and the constitu.
ton, and also for their antibilious and slightly
laxative properties. Twenty odd years Of OK.
perience has proved that these herbal res!ora
tives we're wisely chosen and have been judi
ciously apportioned in this celebrated prepare,
ton. Not only as specific for indigestion and
all kindred complaints, but as household remedy
for all the minor ailments incident to humanity,
it has obtained reputation based on unim,
peachable testimony, which fairly eClipses that
of any other proprietary or ofiicinal medicine
in use.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
The COInDleXiOn.

Nothing is more essential to beauty than a
clear and beautiful complexion. Any disease
of the skin in the way of pimples, blotches, sc,
defaces tho most regular features and detracts
from the otherwise most captivating form.
These skin diseases all result from some inpu-
ritz in the blood and this impurity must be re-
moved before nature will properly do its work.
'.IRISIN," the great blood purifier, acts directly
on the blood and is the best remedy and anti.
dote for poisons in the vital current ever dis.
covered. For diseases peculiar to women it has
no equal. Try it. declS-lmdsw

Fourteen hundred girls were busy ply

seer "What in thunder he was 30 slow
aboutp The varlet trembled, and said
it was on account of the girls, who
didn't work half fast enough. He
thereupon took stroll among his help
to satisfy himself upon this point. de
passed along and inspected each one as
he came up to them. They looked not
up, but worked the harder. Presently
he came to one female form which spe-
cially interested him. He gazed upon
her, but she sewed away, unmindful Of
his presence. At last he turned sud
denly and left, knowing it to be very
impudent to be gazing on one of bis

PAYDAY.

PAYDAY.
The next day was payday, anu ,;n no
happened to hear the oyerseer .s
the roll. Such names as SaIau 'a0A
Nancy Stokes, Almira InomPson, an
lane Simnkiss were hoard and unno-
t;ced. bnt when BETSY Jones" was
hawisd ont upon the still atmosphere,
ba tnrned deadly pale, and would have
falIsn lint for a pile of pantaloons, which
canght his receding form.
SHE APPROACHED
The overseer and took the four dollars
and q half which she earned that week.
Henry johnson was thunder struck. Ii
was his own, his former employers
daughter-Betsy. He gazed at her; the
same rosy cheeks wero there and when
she smiled at the overseer the same old
pang went through his heart that pierre
ed him in her fathers shop.
THAT NIGHT
Henry johnson awaited the egress OF
Betsy Jones from her workshop She
came and he froze to her. As he con.
fronted her at the door blush suffused
her cheeks. Mr.. johnson esssyed to at.
ticulate, but he only gasped. In TACT
the old scene was Ie-enacted over again
only when he had finished she did not
tell him to "get out" In fact he had
made up his mind not to get out, even
if she told him to-. So he walked home
to her somewhat dilapidated place OF
abode, and as he left her at the door, ne
laid his 100000 at her feet. She took
il ND and said ave will yet be happy
CONCLUSION.
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson now live IN
large mansion, and the old man Jone!
is comfortably provided for, being
placed, like other fathers.in-law, as
general overseer over the family. Since
being married Mr.. johnson has learned
that his wife never ceased to love him
Old Jones denies that he ever discharg

true love never runs smooth, and that

profitable than shoemakiDg.

Heavy Crop of Corn.

DR.. Nichols, the editor Of the Boston Jotr-
nat Of Chemistry, in the last number of than
paper, gives an account Of his experiment it
raising corn, which shows remarkable de.
gree OF success. The crop and field were both
carefully measured and the result shows that
ftoo hundred and nine bushels of ears have
been produced to the acre, and the corn is of
the best quality and the field was not touched
bit once, with either cutiyator or hoe from
the time Of planting.
The field was a green sward turned over in
the autumn of 1868, occupying position
midway between hills and lowland In the
spring, upon the burrows were spread four
cords Of barnyard manure to the acre, and
this was narrowed in and the soil finely pull
verified with Geddes harrow. The hills
were three feet apart, and into them at plant
ing was placed handful of =" bone and
ashes mixture; this was covered with film
OF earth, and upon it five kernels of corn were
dropped
We attribute the success of the crop TO faH
plonghing, manure lchioh held The Hquid ercre-
m'enf Of The animals, thorough spring pulseri.
satiOn Of the soil, applying The manure TO the
surface, and 10 the use Of the bone and ashes
mixture. We believe the influence of this
fertilizer was very essential in the production
OF the crop. The cost of the corn per bushel,
in the estimate one-half of the cost
OF the fertilizers, is forty-fve cents. This
does not take into account the fodder, which,
IN our view, has high value The market
price Of corn of this quality is now one dol
lar and twenty-five cents per bushel.

A Substitute for Gravel Walks.

The Germaqtown Telegraph thinks the
time has arrived when gravel for walks aud
carriage drives should be discontinued 1t
says:
We admit that, carefully nodded and
rolled, they are very attractive, as long as
the frost keeps away, but they utterly fail in
winter for the purpose intended. They are
badly upheaved by the frost, and in thaws
they are soft that the hoofs Of the horse strike
through to the foundation. As for walking
upon them, it is impossible, aud boards have
to be substituted We have tried them for
walking and driving Even after heavy rains
in summer they are soft and unpleasant look
ing.
But we have substitute far better in
every way, though not thought to be so good
looking. We mean the coal ashes and fine
cinders from steam-engines, etc. We made, a
number OF years ago carriage-way with the
ashes, etc, from heater and ranga, top
dressing with about two inches upon very
slight foundation, and it sustained no damage
by the heaviest loads, and was always dry
and needed no repairing

ed, having foundation of foot, topped off
with the same material, and we desire nothing
handsomer or better 1t is not disturbed by
the frost is never actually soft in winter, and
at other times is dry in five minutes after a
rain. SO pleased are we with it that in the
spring we shall remove the gravel from the
main garden avenue, and substitute coal ashes
The ashes by rolling become very compact
and hard, and are not broken by hauling over,
however heavy it may be. Another thing in
favor of this material is that each family can,
if the ashes be properly stored, mostly supply
its own wants aud when it is otherwise the
cost, where steam-mills are convenient, is next
to nothing
