BoYs, DO NOT SMOKE DIR. Ducaisne, in
the course of investigation on the influence
of tobacco on circulation has been struck
with the large number of boys, aged from
nine to fifteen years. who smoke; and has
been led TO inquire into the connection of
this habit with the impairment Of the gen
eral health. He has observed thirty-eight
boys aged from nine to fifteen, who smoke
more or less. OF these, distinct symptoms
were present in twenty-seven. In twenty
two there were various disorders of the
circulation ratH de soutte in the neck, pal
pitation, disorders of digestion, slowness
of intellect, ana more or less marked
taste for stroug drinks. In three the pulse
was intermittent. IN eight there were
found on examination, more orless marked
dimunition of the red corpuscles. In
twelve there were rather frequent epistaxis.
Ten had disturbed sleep, and four had
slight alterations Of the mucous membrane
of the mouth, which disappeared on ceas-
inc from the use of tobacco for some days.
In children who were very we'll nourished
the disorder was, in general less marked.
As to the ages, eight of the boys were nine
to twelve years old; nineteen from twelve
10 fifteen. The duration of the habit was
in eleven, from six months to a year;
and in sixteen, more than two years. The
ordinary treatment of an9mia i'll general
produced no effect as long as the smoking
was continued: but when this was desisted
from, health was soon perfectly restored, If
there were no organic disease. - British

The Supreme Court Of Iowa, now in ses'

that State, authorizing municipalities and
townships to subscribe stock in railroad cor

decision is based upon the broad ground
that such o law aPpropriates private prop

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Do Not Trife With Danger

A single spark may kindle flame that will
consume city, and small ailments neglected
may end in fatal disorders. Bearing this fact in
Gus prOstration be met promptly with invigorat
ing treatment. Foremost among the vegetable
tOnics of the age stands H0STETTERS STOM'
ACH BITTERS, and whenever the vital powers
seem to languish, or there is any reason to sus'
poet that the animal functions essential to the
sustenation and publication of the body are i'm.
perfectly performed, this invaluable invigorant
and antiseptic should at once be resortcd to.
Indigestion always produces weakness. Some
times it happens-and this is moro frequently
the case in Winter than at any other season
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 circum.
stances, ia to increase the digestive capacity OF
the assimilatins organ, so as TO make IL equal 10
the duty imposed upon il by the appetite, and
capable of supplying the building material Of the
system as fast as il Is required. This object is
fully accomplished by the use of the Bitters.
They tone and gently stimulate the cellular
membrane which secretes the gastric juice, and
the result is that the solvent is mingled with
the food in sufficient quantity to convert all its
nOurishiRg particles into pure and wholesome
element II, on the other hand, there is def.
cheney of appetite, without any corresponding
deficiency of digestive power, the effect of the
tonic is 10 stimulate desire for food. In nine.
teen cases out of twenty headache, nausea,
nNrN BUSINESS, fainting-its, spasms, and, indeed,
most of the casual aches and pains to which hu-
mainly is subject proceed primarily from indi-
gestiOn complicated with biliousness; and for
both these complaints HOSTETTER'S STOM-
ACH BIrTEESa are recommended as a speedy
and certain remedy.

Southern Prosperity.

The Lynchburg Tirginian says that an
intelligent gentleman who resides IN
Savannah, Ga, was in that city few
days ago, q guest of the Norvell House.
He made some very encouraging state
ments in regard to the prosperity, pres,
emit and prospective, of the South. he
said that he believed money never was
as plentiful as it sosn would be in the
cotton States. Even now it is in free
and general circulation, and the amount
is increasing every day. The cotton
crop was good one, the price which ii
is bringing is high, and the demand fol
it is great.
There is, he says, q perfect rush OF
Northern cotton buyers to the South in
search of that article. At the Marshall
House, in Savannah, where our inform
ant boards, he says it is not an uncom-
mon occurrence for from seventy-five to
one hundred arrivals to register in a
day, three-fourths OF whom are cotton
buyers from the North. The planters
are no longer under the necessity OF
shipping to factors, but sell on their
plantations to be delivered at she
nearest depot, at from % to 26 cents
per pound, thus saving commission, &c.
AS consequence, prosperity begins to
smile in the great cotton region of the
South, and the night of gloom and de-
spondency is fast vanishing. This is
indeed encouraging.

cording to her understanding of ladies'
fortunes. And that she, the humblest
of the humble, should be selected for so
honorable a positionl She had never
quite known, quite presumed as yet,
whether she had made good her footing
in her aunt's house in manEer pleas
ant to her aunt. More than once or
twice she had spoken even OF going

said which had almost made her think
that her aunt had been angry with her.

residence, her aunt was offering to her

offer to her the husband Mr.. Gibson had
always been very civil to her. She had
spoken more to Mr.. Gibson than to any
other man in Exeter. But it had never
occurred to her for moment that MI
Gibson had any special liking for her.
Was it probable that he would ever
entertain any feeling of that kind for
her ? 1t certainly had occurred to her
before now that Mr.. Gibson was some
times bored by the Miss Trenohes;-but
then gentlemen do get bored by ladies.
And at last she asked herself another
question,-had she any special liking
for Mr.. Gibsoni As far as she under
stood such matters, everything was
blank there. Thinking of that other
question, she went to sleep.
