Chceriag Facts for the Bilious.

Cheering Facts for the Bilious.
Every day demonstrates mere clearly
that liver complaint, i'll all its distress
lug forms, can he controlled and cured
without difficulty or Inconvenience. 1t
is an obstinate disease, but its Obstinacy
is not proof against the pcrtinacious,
remedial and restorative operation OF
Hostettcr's Stomach Bittcrs. That gen
ia corrective compels the organ to do its
duty. 1t must secrete regularly and
heaIthfully under the influence Of the
Btters. Their action brings it back
from state OF rebellion into perfect llar-
mony with the laws of health. If there
is costiveness, it disappears; if there is
side-ache or back-achc, it ceases; ii the
skin and the whites Of the eyes are ting
ed with superiiuous bile, they recover
their natural hue; if the appetite is
gone, it returns; if the digestion is mi
paired, it issrestored; in brief, whatever
the symptoms Of the complaint may be,
and whatever the phase it has assumed,
n c,tye is certain. Such are the uniform
effects of this preparation where bilious
dispase has been already developed but
in cases where there is merely cunsti-
tutional tendency to liver complaint, ii
NAV lie prevented throughout life by
lhe rerular use, in small quantities, OF
this naInlabIe antidote. These are prov
on facts, and should be seriously ponder
ed-or, rather, they should qe promptly
acted upon-by all persons OF bliiious
habit. ...

of almost antediluvian date, which ceE-
tainly speaks well for the salubrity of the
climate, and respect for eye olden time"
On the other hand, we have the nine
tenth century represented in various
ways.
One of the finest and most costly struc.
lures upon the Vermont Central answers
the purpose of depot. And such an
object of mingled curiosity and admira-
ton is it that every day at certain hours
usually about train time) devoted citizens
may be seen vending their way thither,
perhaps not to worship this modern
temple, as did the Jews of old, more likely
because of the "money changers" there,
the "doves on exhibition or some nn-
known reason. Trying to make out the
cause of their devotion, has necessitated
our attendance at times, and while the
leading question is still enveloped in
painful mystery, like the stolen treaty"
like certain other individuals, we have
made discovery. Our discovery is, that
this great thoroughfare is, SO to speak, the
great artery from which our life, as a
community, is drawn, and which holds US
in proper relationship with the outer
world. If we wanted to stop it, the most
we could do would be to lay ourselves
upon the track with the forlorn hope that
in running over US it might smash up for
moment, but we don't want to stop it ;
| it is right, so let it go ahead. Among the
pormiscuous crowd thus surging through,
are occasionally to be seen the representa-
tive American-men of note; men of high
official and unofficial position !; men skill
ed in ways that-that are known to dip
lomaoy, and familiar with the affairs of
| nations. Such men sometimes, to avoid
sensation. travel inc0g, and our good
people entertain angels ~ unawares. OF
course where celebrities appear inc0g, the
truthful correspondent should write
them down so.
Then, too,i our quiet village possesses
other evidences of being fully up to the
times, such as frst-class business house
managed by first-class business men first.
class lawyers, doctors, ministers, and
churches, with n0ao and then first-class
church." unpleasantness." Here we find
the noted Vermont girls fully up to Aug.
22d, 1871. Also, a reform school, without
which no community can hope to prosper,
and whose inmates manifest particular
talent for repeatedly effecting their own
graduation to the utter surprise and
amszement of their sponsors.
Altogether, to the transient observer,
our peaceful hamlet may be said to be a
glowing refutation of the trite saying of
the philosopher Billings" when he re-
marked that "maybe the lion and lamb
will sometime lay down together; but, in
my opinion, when the lion gets up, the
lamb will be a missin" The lion of other
days, and the lamb of progress at present,
slumber here together, peacefully chew
ing the cud," and while thus diverted the
lamb will doubtless fool his companion by
getting up first, and his missin will
then admit of different construction from
Joshua's. X.

finely, and the wheat is nearly all cut );
and unless there should be a great ahund-
ance of rain, it will be threshed out, and
secured in good shape. The crop is good
this year in quantity, and thus far in
quality.
My observations in Minnesota convince
me that the crop is good there. Heavy
rains on the Minnesota and Yellow Med
icine rivers may iDiure some that is ripe.
But "a the settlers are 50 thinly scattered
in that locality, it will be of small mo-
ment.
The wheat region in Minnesota is rap
idly increasing. After leaving St. Paul,
on the St. Paul & Pacific railway, for
seventy-fve or eighty miles the country
is we'll wooded, and, TO all appearance,
well watered. After that, to the end of the
completed line, about 140 miles from St.
Paul, the timber is not seen, in quanti-
ties to be noticed south of the road, and
north OF the line there are forests in sight
at times, but as a whole there is little or
no wood or timber, and only vast, near
ly level prairie meets the eye dotted with
the houses of the settlers for ten or twelve
miles from the stations. Wheat is the
chief cultivated grain in this locality, and
it is rapidly widening and lengthening
as the road progresses. Whether it will
continue to be bread-producing locality
will probably depend on the course of
railroad managers. The freight is now
quite light, and the people are alarmed
lest the company should make it exorbi-
tant as soon as the country was well filled
up, and thus enrich themselves and ruin
the quite helpless people, | hope for
better things from an enterprise which is
national in its character. All the build
ing lumber comes by rail from Minneapo-
lis, and at Willmar, about 100 miles from
st. Paul, it is held in the lumber yards at
from nineteen to twenty-five dollars per
thousand. Recently some teams have
come from Lynd, Lyon county, to Will
mar for lumber, about 100 miles, think.
ing it would be cheaper than any other
way Lumber is the great want of south
western Minnesota. Water is scarce but
it can be had by digging. H. S. B.
