A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says that tomatoes
want water almost as much as
ducks, but as the vine is hardy
and will stand almost any amount
of heat and drought, few supply
the water it demands. In order to
make tomatoes ripen quickly, they
should be watered at least once a
day. The evening is the best time
to water them.

STORY OF a GoyEnSEss IN ENGLAND

STORY OF GOEEtSESS IN ENGLAND
\ correspondent Of the London
Telegraph vouches for the follow
ing as true story:
"a few days ago l stood by the
side Of u dying girl, her age was
seventeen, and this is her history
She was the youngest child in q
large family. Her mother was
the widow Of a clerk in q city
bank, who died suddenly, leaving
his wife and children destitute.
Her sisters went out as gov
ernesses; she remained at home
until increasing want rendered it
necessary for her. too, to make
her own living. She found en-.
ployment as a daily gover2ess
She walked each day four miles to
and from her work, and received 3
few shillings a week. All day
long she toiled, getting no food
until she reached home in the
evening. Who does not remember
the hot Summer Of last year:
Through the glare of that cloud.
hess season this poor child starved
on. The sun wi,hered up flower
and shrub and also withercd the
brain of the daily gorerness.
DAY by day her strength melt,
cd away; at last she broke down.
She could 60 no more to the daily
lesson it was too late now to
give her food, kindly smiles, or
more wages. Her cry from morn
to night, as she rocked to and
fro, pressing her hands on her
burning forehead, was, Mother,
mother, my brain is gone One
day she was found with one hand
copying verses from the Bible,
and with the other had glshed
herself with 4 knife. 1t was then
| first heard of the case. I ad.
viscd her mother to send her to
the hospital for the insane. My
advice was taken. Ioftcn went to
inquire after her. I found the
place fnll of soEcrncsses. and Ill
the kindness could do seemed to
be done for them. She soon b.,
came raving lunatic.
"Cne day l took two other sisters
to see Lcr. 1t was their first visit
to the hospital, and they brought
some flowers to give the patient.
They were just in time to see her
die. In her cell, with an angel
smile on her young face, lay the
little govcrncss. She had fought
the fight Of life to its bitter end,
and all was over now; and with a
look as though she blessed the
world which killed her, her young
spirit passed away to God.
"Therc was a post m0rtem ex.
minatlon. Congestion ofthe brain
was the cause Of her dcath-hard
work, they said, tho cause of the
congestion. A little food, a little
kind thoughttulncss on the part of
those who employed her might
have saved her life and the broken
heart Of her widowed mother.
The birds were singing gayly,
the sun was shining brightly, as
they laid her Ivy her fathers side
in quiet country grave. There
were few mourncrs, but some poor
children and an old cripple, whom
she taught and to whom she read
the Bible on Sundays-hcr only
holidays-camc some miles to sec
the last Of the little teacher.
Sir, in telling this story, l do
not cast blame ON any one, but l
hope those who read it, if they
employ govcrncsscs, will rcn,em-
Der that human creatures arc not
mere machines; and if they see
them tagged and worn, will think
Of the story Of this poor child,
whose soul now rests in a kinder
world than this"

THE POPULAR TONIC OF THE AGE.


The day has gone by when medicine witho ut
merit could command and retain the confidence
of the world. Advertising induces the public to
try many things, but in this shrewd and thought
full age, words will not sutti ce without proofs,
and it is by the exercise of their private iudg-
ment, men determine the relative value OF the
various articles recommended to their notice
through the BUSINESS columns of newspapers.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has now been sub
jected 70 this searching ordeal for more than IS
years. and the result is that it stands at the head
of the class of remedies to which it belongs. 1t
has dis taaced and lived down indumerable COM
petit ors, and is to-day the Standard Vegetable
Tonic of the western world. The happy effects
which have followed its use in cases of dyspepsia,
bliOusness, nervous affections, intermittent
fevers and general debility, and as a constitution
al invigorant, have entitled it to a universal con-
fdence. n otbing can ever shake its reputation,
for it is based on the individual experiences of
tens of thousands of witnesses, embracing promi-
nent and well known citizens of every profession,
occupation and class. There is not city, town
or settlement in the United States where it is
not medicinal staple. No druggist or general
dealer would consider his stock complete without
it, and the returns of the internal revenue de-
partment show that its sales exceed those of any
other proerietory restorative manufactured on
this side eff the Atlantic. The beneficial results
derived during long series of years from the use
of Hostetter's Bitters, have convinced the whole
community tibet the only true way to restore to
health a broken down or debilitated system, or
to put the human body on Its defence when ex-
posed to unwholesome influences, is to invigorate,
regulate and yurlfy it at one and the same time

useful properties ascribed to that mineral, with

To those three medicines DR. j. FL. Schanck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of Pulmonie Consumption. The Pull

the formation of ulcers or tubercles in the lungs
