THE PuREsT AND SAYEsr.-The cfilca-
cy Of Hostet,er's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters as specific for recruiting the en-
feeblcd body and cheering tho despondiug
mind, has passed into proverb. In the
United States. where this marvellous tonic
has borne down all opposition, and
eelipsed all rivalry, the demand for It
has annually increased in a heavier and
heavier ratio for years, until, at last, the
regular sales Of this preparation exceed
those..of all other stomach bi,,ers combined.
Eminent members of the medical profcs-
sion and hospital surgeons without num-
Dor, have csndidly admitted that the
pharmacaeia Of the faculty contains no
prescription that produces such beneficial
effects In dyspepsia, general debility and
nervous diseases, rs Hostetters' Bi;ters.
To use the language Of q venerable physi.
clan Of New York, THE Bitters are tho
pures. stimulan, and the safes, tonic we
have. But the uses Of the great vegeta.

sive than such praise would imply. As .
preparatory antidotc TO epidemic disease,

tutional vigor, an appetizer, = stomachic,

medicinal preparation hes ever attained
the reputation Of Hoststtss's Bitters. 1t

people, and to NIL human probability will

At the Labor Reform Convention
last week, in Boston, Wendell Phil
lips was one of the speakers and
we quote from the National Standard
his remarks as follows:
After reading the resolutions Mr..
PHILLIps spoke briefly, showing the
necessity of Labor reform, and the
elevation of the working classes, as
illustrated by the recent sad events
in Paris. He did not join the Am
erican press in its wholesale con-
demnation of the Communists. He
felt nothing but regret and rebuke
for the vandsl destruction of public
and private property in Paris, but
every civilized man at all acquainted
with French history, and cognizant
OF the present state of affairs, ought
TO know and never forget that in
this struggle between Paris and
Versailles, Paris represents what
every American ought to loye-the
struggle of the French people to
govern themselves Paris in her
effort to socare freedom for Iraace

THE UNHUNG TRAITOR.

There are some men so saturated
with evil, so infamous in character,
so Justly deserve universal execra-
ton, that all rightminded people in
stinctivcly recoil from them with
horror. Intellectual and cultivated
they may be, yet their proper rank
is among the worlds great villains.
OF this stamp is Jefferson Davis
the politician, the perured con-
spirator, the traitor, the ex-rebel
president, and the murderer, whom
the nation made a great mistake in
not hanging. He ought not to show
his face among the American people,
except with lips Theoretically sealed.
His name has become the synonym
of monster, and a sense of burn
ing shame ought to prevent him
from even whispering it in his own
presence. Were het die from sheer
self disgust, it would be no blunder
and no loss to the world.
Who is this Jefferson Davis, and
what has he done? Years ago he
was in Mississippi the open, blatant,
undisguised repudiator OF state OBJ
legations. In the winter of 1860
81, being q senator Of the United
States, sworn to support its Consti-
tuition, he was conspirator plot
ting the dissolution OF the Union and
the destruction of this Government.
Subsequently he became traitor
TO his country by overt acts; and be-
ing chosen as the rebei president Of

Win the consent OF the OCner KING
doms of Europe. But the effort,
though failure, was honorable, so
far as represented by right and
moderate leaders. No man ought
to forget-in this day of sneering
at France-the eminent service she
has rendered to civilization. There
is no other people in Europe that
has rendered half the service to
science that France has done during
the last hundred years. Not one.
No other people within the last two
hundred years has done half the
service to art and science that
France has done. Italy herself has
no claim, for the last century and a
half, to stand anywhere near the
French people. In science and art
France leads Europe to-day. And
in the progress of civil iberty--the
great element of modern civilization
there is no nation, except Eng
land, that has any right to be named
in the same breath with France in
her service to civil liberty. While
Germany was crowded in the dust
in absolute, unmanly submission to
the most despicable of kinslings,
France was inspiring the mind OF
Thomas Jefferson, and half saving
the experimental liberty in these
thirteen colonies. But the real
lesson OF Paris lies deeper than that.
While those leading men, Louis
Blanc and others, interested in re-
publicanism, were such men as we
should honor and Joy to follow, the
masses of France, ignorant, ill-fed,
ignored by government, mentally
and physically starved by the des-
potism of twenty years. might say
OF one hundred years-the moment
these men rested their hands upon
them to do this rational work, they
dung off the reins of their leaders,
and in their mad career showed us
what a reelected and wronged Ia
bolin class will do if left to them
selves for a century. Whether you
go into the mines of Pennsylvania,
Or whether you regard the great
increase Of cities, the dangers which
VIII beset the next gene rltion will
be the existence OF just SUI h masses
Of men that have made Paris ter
rible to law and order. If we would
gnard against sir.ilar scenes in the
city of New York, the question, How
to make the laboring man work less
and have more for his worlk, will
have to be considered. For, i'll
spite of all social science and all the
dry thcorizing which is flung at us
from the different churches and
societies in the course of the year, |
still maintain that the ideal civil
ization which is to come, and which
it is the duty Of every man to
hasten, is all wrapped up in that
one principle, that the mass of man.
kind work less, and enjoy them
selves more. Europe is treading
forward to the day when the mass
of men shall work less and enjoy
more, and that is the goal at which
we aim, aud our only object in these
resolutions and this movement is to
hasten the progress of humanity in
that direction.

Your, son, Captain Eli?
He was young !Twenty-two?
And was killed on his way
To the front with you,
Six years ago this May
And you're here all alone mid the flowers
They placed on his tombstone to-day.
And the veteran brave
Looked down with sigh,
To his young boys grave
And swept! While
With the strawberries wave
Was hushed. as he mantled his sorrows
about him
His thoughts to the Infinite gave.
And the birds flew high
In the summer air,
And the breeze went by
heepiny silence tnere,
And all was still, till
Looked up-and found the veteran smiling!
And we spoke thus-under the sky.
Captain. no fear
Between you and me!
There's nobody near,
Nor any see
That can hear
l would know of this thing-your opinion
This offering of flowers each year.
"Well," he began, 'you see
Plain speaking-no boast;
can say, as for me
And the rest of the Post,
Who to speak out are free,
Things have changed-the last years 'mone

The cliques and the rings;

With their numerous things;
Who are with us for show,
TLey have 10 more to say in this business,
As they ,lil hare few years ago.
They've been playing bad tricks
Since the close of the war;
And succeeded TO mix
Decoration Day more
Into bad politics..

"Hot speeches Of Fats
To the people they made!
Foul tr i.ors We hate

Who had fallen. The vampires came moi
to weep!
No, no! Twas political bait.

O'er the brave boys who sleep,
And who fell in the fight
Which was fought 5otleesn brave and

Each side thinking theirs was the right
They were soldiers, so we!
Theirs fell, so did ours.
Then let us all see
Each grave strewn with flowers
From memory's tree!
And extend to the conquered UNION I!
For that, every soldier is free.
Let US learn to be fair
From the boys now at rest
Aud at home Over There
In the land of the bless'd
In the sunny land where
They're forgiven the souls of both armies
Who breathe for Us living, one prdyer!'
And the Captain was right
Things hare changed, as be said,

Thus is hallowed-in light
Is surrounded no more by the trickster!
