The Season and Its Dangers.

The human body is chiefly composed of tissues

dition Of the atmosphere as the most delicate cleo
trometer, or the quicksilver in barometer tube.
The stomach, the skin, the nerves, the lungs
and the excretory organs especially liable TO bG
affected by these variations, and the best defense
against their disastrous tendency is TO keep the
digestive machinery, which feeds and nourishes
the whole system, in good working order.
ii the stomach is weak or dsordered, neither the
blood nor the bile can be in healthy state and
upon the fitness of these two important fluids for
the offices assigned to them by nature and the
regularity of their flow, he alth in great measure
depends.
When the air is heavily laden with chilling vapors

atmosphere.
pure and powerful tonic is therefore especially
needed as Q safeguard against the diseases most
common in the spring, and Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters being the most wholesome and potent med
s particularly advisable at this period Of the year
The stomach will thereby be toned and strength

system braced up and nature put in a state of &C

duces intermittent and remittent fevers, rheuma-
tisms, nervous debility, headache, hypochondria
and other complaints which apt TO assail the

is strengthened without exciting the brain, and
consequently no unpleasant reaction follows its

WAITING FOR THE sPRING.

As breezes stir the morning
silence reigns in air;
Steel blue the heavens above me,
Moveless the trees and bare;
Yet unto me the stiffness
This burden seems to bring
Patience! the earth is waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.

Rough oak and poplar high,
Stretch out their sapless branches
Against the wintry sky.
Even the guilty aspen
Hath ceased her quiyering,
As though she too were waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.

Waiting for the Spring"
Oheart thy days are darksome;

Soon every bird shall sing;
