Indigestion is not dangerous, say the faculty
Perhaps not in itself while it remains mere indiges-
ton; but look at the consequences to which it may
lead, and often does lead when it becomes chronic
disease. spark of fire is small thing pressure
of the foot will put it out; breach will extngush
it. Yet it may fire powder MILL OF kindle fame
that will consume city. In like manner Indigestion
may produce gastritis, of the stomach, con-
gestion of the bowels, apoplexy, liver disease and
many other dangerous malades. Is it not wise them
to check it in the germ? Nothing is more dearly
and indisputaby established than that Hostetter's
Stomach Btters will eradicate dyspepsia in all its
slages The true policy, however, is to exinguish
in the first stages with this wholesome powerful and
nfallible tonic and Alternative. 1t is easier to quench
spark than fame and it is easier to cure dyspepsia
when it is first developed than when it has made
Roadway by neglect, and become complicated with
other ailments There is not the shadow of adoubt
that the btters directly antagonistic to yspep-
STA as water is to fire. There thousands of cases
on record proving this fact. The remedy is safe and
agreeable. All the liquors of commerce prescribed as
stimulans, leave sting behind But the sting taken
out of the spirituous basis of this great remedy by
vegetable medication, and, moreover, the stimuant
thus medcated is of exceptional purity Of all tonics
taken as safeguards remedies for fever and ague,
bilious remittents, and other fall epidemies it is the
only one that can be uniformly depended upon.

Mr. Charles Reade has demolished Toronto
critic in a characteristic letter. Mr. Reade re-
marks that where injustice is done to others or
himself, he bears San Indifferent character for
temper and moderation;" but for Ethis reason
perhaps his communication will only be all the
more entertaining. 1t is satisfactory to know
that he looks upon the author of "Put Yourself
in Ellis Place and s'Hard Cash" as a public
benefactor, and denounces 'whoever calls him
ga public criminal as ga liar and scoun-
drel." In his latest novel he finds occasion to
admire his own fearless honesty" He be-
lieves that were Rhoda, Somerset cut out the
story would be still rather strong story" and
he particularly likes the, manner in which he
has described, mot sensually but POLITICALLY"
that great maternal act nurse giving suck
What writer" he asks ''has ever produced
scenes purer and sweeter than the innocent
lovers of Ruperta and Compton Bassett in this
book? Yet how have the purient prudes, one
and all, received them? With marked distaste;
they call these scenes bore" As to the charge
OF introducing himself into the novel under the
character of ROlfe, Mr.. Reade is frank enough
to confess that he did it for the reason that Sec
centric characters are rare and valuable to the
artist and we ought to pardon the seeming
egotism in consideration of the advantage Of
such striking addition to the dranaatis person
de, and the thoroughly artistic manner in which
Rolfe was brought in. If the portrait has pos
sibly been fattering, it should be borne in mind
that Mr.. Reade is not satirist, but zone who
sees the bright side of mixed character"
Nothing certainly could be more perfect in
its way than the noyelist's frankness. We
could almost wish that the directness and free
dom which characterize his letter might be gen
orally adopted in literary controversies. THE
asperties Of debate might not be lessened there
by; but the world would be upon the whole
gamer, and discussion would be enlivened if
every author would tell us with such engaging
simplicity what he thought of his critics. and
what he thought of himself-N 7. Tribune.

In the northwest part of Franklin county,
twelve miles from Pennington Wilton, Dix
field and Phillips, respectively, is situated the
town of Weld Its name was derived from
Benz. Weld, ESQ.,, of Brunswick, an extensive
land-holder in this vicinity in former times
The town is completely hemmed in by noun
tains, of which Mt Blue ON the east is the most
noted. Until very recently, it has been, almost
exclusively, a farming community, but of late
the extensive forests of white birch and poplar,
have attracted the attention of manufacturers
and quite a revenue is received from these
sources. AT the Lower Village, SO called, there
are four stores, each doing quite an extensive
business, two milliners shops, grist mill, saw
and single mills, butter tub mandatory, ex-
celsior mill, spool factory, and four mills for
the making of salt boxes. The spool factory
is owned and operated by Messrs. Austin &
Sanborn. They employ twenty hands con-
stantly, and for quite portion of the year,
thirty, using 1000 cords of white birch annual
ly, costing $3.50 per cord From this they
make 800 gross of spools daily. There are used
in town for the manufacture of salt boxes, 1880
cords of poplar, for which 80. so per cord is paid
This, heretofore, nearly worthless wood, is now
of considerable value. There are some very ex-
cellent farms in town, and excellent crops are
produced. w. M. Russell raised the present
season, from five acres of burnt land, 81 bushels
of excellent wheat, and from three acres of
ploughed land IS more, making 126 bushels in
all.

.o.e.,.....-,rs results of the decline of

increase of prostitution. we peiieVe Ihete is
NO ether vice among all those that afflict the
rooe which is so directly traceable to ignor-
ance as the profigacy of women. The re-
cruits for that shameful profession are drawn
almost wholly from the ranks of those whom
society has wronged by permitting them to
reach mature age without even that moder-
ate degree of intelligence necessary 10 pre-
serve them from the gravest moral disasters.
Enforced mental imbecility united with the
malign influence of extreme poverty is the
m ain source of prostitution. Women of bad
repute might almost be permitted to plead in
bar of the penalties that follow their profit
gate course that they have done wrong under
dayess, and are therefore not responsible. Sc
ciety begins to realize its participancy in the
shame of its wretched victims, and in MANY
communities has striven to make some
amends for its criminal negligence by the es-
Enlistment of reformatory institutions for
their benefit. There is a probability that
Maine will make this addition to its reforma-
tory system. As our readers know, the com
mission on an industrial school, OF which the
energetic Mayor of Portland is the chairman,
has invited proposals from the towns in this
State that may desire the location OF the
school within their limits. These proposals
will be considered by the Commissioners at
their meeting at Augusta during the ap-
preaching session of the Legislature. The
competition will be sufficiently active, we
have no doubt, to make it necessary for the
successful town or city to be generous in its
propositions. Portland, as the largest city in
the State and as the place most to be benefit
ed by the new Institution, will naturally de
sire to have it established here, or in some
place easily accessible. The subject is de-
serving oft earnest and immediate attention
of our people. The philanthropic ladies Of
Portland have hitherto taken deep interest
in the project, and we hope that they will
not cease their efforts now that their previ.

appropriate sphere for the exercise of the
naturally humane influence of woman than
the advocacy and practical management Of
judicious enterprises for the salvation Of
young and sorely tempted persons of hel

suits from the Industrial School. ,J

Nov retaed 1000 bbls. Of flour; 400 consecutive
barrels without the return of single one and only
IA bbls were returned during the entire year. This
unusual success was largely owing to the quality OF

would prove to be. This will be my future course.
