Let Cannon Sense Decide

What Is the rational mode OF procedure in
cases Of general debility and nervous pro>tra-
ton' Does not reason tell US that jldcious
stimulation is required. To resort 10 violent
purgaiion IN such case is as absurd as il would
be TO bleed a starving man. Yet it is done
every day Yes, this stupid and unphIlo,oPhl-
cal practice is continued in the teeth of the
greet fact that physical weakness, with all the
nervous disturbances that accompany it, is more
certainly and rapidly relieved by Ho,lett,r's
Stomach Bitierf than by any other medicine at
present known. Il is true that general debility
is often attended with torpidliy or irIegu!arlY
Of the bowels, and that this symptom must not
be overlooked. But While The discharge Of the
waste matter Of the system is expedited or reg
ulaled, lis rigOr must be recruited The Bitters
do both. They combine aperlent and auiibIl-
ious properties with extraordinary tonic
power. Even while removing obs;rLc-
lions from the bowels, they tone and inyigorale
those organs. Through the stomach, upon
which the great vegetable specific acts direct
ly, il gives healthy and permanent impetus 10
every enfeebled function. Digestion is iaclIlta-
ted, the lalterting circulation regulated, the
blood reinforced with new accession OF the
alimentary principle, the nerves braced, and all
tne dormant powers Of the system rou.ed into
healthy action not spasmodicaly, as would be
the case if mere stimulant were administered
but for a continuance. 1t is in this way that
such Extraordinary charges are wrought in the
condition Of the feeble, emacialed and nervous
Invalids by the use OF this wonderful corrective,
Alternative and tonic. Let common sense decide
between such preparation aud q Frustrating
csthariic supplemented by a poisonous as,rin-
gent like strI chime qunia,

The tender sensibilities Of Boston

streams Of sympathy for sun, ring
which distance covers with its en-.
mirage. This amiable weak
ness, unfortunately, In accom- panied
by an entire incapscity to discern the

nose. While she weeps for the SUI
fering Of the down-trodden African,
and sends out women's rights mis-.
sionaries to preach the glorious gos-
pei Of female suffrage 70 the Conan
ches, thousands of women, on the
verge Of starvation, walk her streets
In quest Of food. The working wo-
men have petitioned the Mayor Of
that city to extend them assista noe
during the present winter. Their ap-
peal IL pathetic. They say Busi-
ness Is dull, work has fallen OF, the
cold weather Is upon us, and we are
At loss for means TO purchase the
food necessary to keep US alive until
business revives In the spring.
They add that unless something Il
done for them Immediately they Will
starve, and they express the hope
that the city government win secure
them "such food and fuel ~ may be
necessary to keep our souls and bodies
together for the time we are short Of
work. They add the significant re-
mark that "the money In the City
Treasury comes from the produc-
Ing classes; we are producers, and,
without us, Boston could not pay it,
taxes--in fact, Boston could not live"
II they were only black, aud lived q

THE MAIDEN WARRIOR

IL was the night previous to the
battle Of Kings Mountain. Gen.
Marion the crafty Swamp Fox, and
his hardy followers were eager for the
fray, for they did not doubt but that
their victory would be q signal one.-
Below them In the valley, were TO be
seen the camp-fires Of the foe, and
long lines Of soldiery. It was evident
the enemy could not be taken by sur
prise, for they were resting upon their
arms, and SO q midnight assault,
which had at first been contemplated,
was abandoned. Among the daring
woOdsmen, there were two men who
claimed to be especially devoted to
their country's cause. Their names
were Littleton Esbel and Seti, Darn
ley. They had been rivals In love,
each being q sutton for the hand OF
Sally st. Clair, q patriots daughter,
and a young lady possessed of great
personal charm.
! Now, these two men had oecome
rivals in war. Each strove to outdo
the other IN deeds of daring, and both
had been favorably noticed for their
courage and proves. 1t was about
the midnighthour when Marion Wis
tied them, and requested that they
should make detour OF the enemy's
camp, II possible, and CLEAN such In
formation, as would be valuable on
the morrow. ..--
With cat-like stealth they crept
forward under thecover Of the ragged
rocks, and soon they saw before them
three men. Their faces could not
be distinguished, but their voices
were recognized as belonging to three
of the most notorious tories and cut
Threats that ever cursed a nation.-
Now was the time for action.
OH attend to the racal seated upon
the log" whispered Esbel. "You
may settle with the one resting upon
his rifle. Take sure aim"
Two shots burst simultaneously
upon the night-air, and that of Esbel
had not been fired I'm vain. IL was
not his purpose TO kill his man, but
to wound him, take him prisoner,
and to convey him back TO camp
alive. The other two sprang to their
feet and darted away.
"Your aim was not q true one,u
said Esbel, somewhat impatiently.
NY INV uuuS uIe, was TIE sui
len reply given by Darnley.
: The wounded tory was secured and
the men were about TO return. The
alarm had been given, and for them
to proceed further would be danger
Gus and useless. But at that instant
q slight sound was heard In an under
growth near at hand, and springing
into IL, Esbel dragged forth boy, ev-
identity about eighteen years OF age.
Another spy" he exclaimed, and
the two were taken at once into the
presence OF Marion. The wounded
tory, Jack Boughton, was well
known, and he was heavily ironed to
await his trial by court-martial.

BEAUTY OF THE VIRGIN MARY
There 10 In no mythology, ancient or
modern, a more poetlcal idea than
that Of the Virgin Mary. The wo-
men who poets dream Of are terres-
trial. This one has nothing Of the
fratlties or faults of her sex. The
Catholics believe her TO have been
born without the original sin; to
have been mother without ceasing
to be virgin and, 10th to believe
that body that had been the taber-
nacle Of God could suffer the decom-
position and decay which Is common
to mortal remains, hold, an article Of
Z It'll, that, instead Of dying like
Others, she ascended bodily into
Heaven, borne by the tremulous
hands of angels. She has no fault (;
she shines pure and spotless, and II
believed to exercise great influence
upon her votaries. The painters and
poets represent her ~ beautiful. She
Il usually represented ~ standing on
. globe with q k,ot on the serpent, be-
cause as mother of the Redeemer,
she Is supposed to DO the one that was
to crush the serpent under her heel.
She holds the infant Jesus In her
arms, a divine example Of the sane
uty Of maternity, and wears a white
dress, long and flowing, with q blue
cloak, Indicative OF her great faith
and supreme innocence.
