TIE Love ROMANCE IN SAN HousToE' S LIFE.-
The most singular incident in the life Of Sam
Houston, and one never hitherto explained;
was his abandonment Of the governorship Of
Tennessee only three days after marrying n
young wife. lie became voluntary exile
among the Indians Of the plains for years there
after, was made great chief, and only rear
peared in public life when Texas was strug-
Cling for independence. The Galveston Necs
lifts the veil from this secret chamber Of Hous-
toms heart by this strange narration; "What
we know about this matter is so honorable to
him that we shall for the first time, put it in
print. We may premise that our information
s derived indirectly from one now deceased,
who, during her life, had right TO know what
caused this strange episode in the life of the
great man. Governor Houston's first bride
was Tennessee belle of surprising beauty and
Of considerable social rank She was, If not
the afIianced bride, at least the sweetheart Of
a neighboring gentleman when Governor Hous-
ton sought her hand. Her family, being am
bilious, forced the match, and she was mar
ried. After retiring to her bridal chamber, her
department was such as to cause him 10 sus-
pect that, while her hand was his, her heart
was abotber's She confessed the truth when
Intercepted, and, while promising fidelity and
wifely duty, declared herself unable 10 love
him. He at once retired from the house. He
then resigned bis position and went among the
Comanehee. Ia due course Of time the lady
sought and Outlined divorce"

THE FUTURE AND THE PAST.

The heart is like river,
Where two currents flow
One to the Future leading,
One TO the Long Ago.
On both the banks are roses,
On both the sun is cast,
But the current which is smoothest
Flows ever 10 the past.
Upon this ebbing river
Our thoughts like vessels go
Some to the Future sailing,
Some to the Long Ago.
Bringing at their returning,
Relics we dearly prize,
Brought from those distant islands
Bound by youth sunny skies.
Strange that the past remaineth,
Shut in the heart for aye
Strange we are never willing
To say to the past goodbye.
The future is shadow
A cloud-whose golden sheen
Makes every cloud look golden,
That's in the distance seen.
The past is full of pleasure,
A rainbow bright, whose bow
Connects the present moments
With those of Long Ago
A bridge we oft are crossing,
Passing the friends of old,
With faces fair and youthful,
And hair as bright as gold.
Strange that the gold must vanish
Out of the sunny hair,
Strange that the silver spinneth
Nets for the old 20 wear;
Strange that the wrinkles trample
Out the young faces bloom,
Like shadows that, in evening,
Over bright pictures come.

Exnherant Health

Is blessing vouchsafed to few. Even those
who have been favored by nature with strong
constitutions and vigorous frames are apt to neg
lect the precautions necessary to preserve these
precious endowments. Indeed as a rule the
more healthy and robust man is, the more lib
critics he is inclined to take with his own phys
ique, 1t is some consolation to the naturally
weak and feeble to know that they can be so
mvgorated and built up, by proper use of the
means which science has placed Of their disposal,
as to have a much better chance of long life,
and exemptions from disease and pain, than the
most athletic of their fellows who are foolish
enough to suppose themselves invuherable, and
act accordingly.
1t is not too much TO say that more than half
the people of the civilized world need an occa-

wholesome, unexciting tonic is the grand desid-
eratum of the busy Millions and they have the
article in Hostetter's Stomach Btters. 1t is IA

strength to weak systems and lnvigorates deli

far as the public is concerned, ad nauseum, In
the hope Of rivallng it but they all have either
persisted in the attempt or left far in the rear.

sent century and ii is quite certain that no pro-
prietary medicine in this country is as widely
known, or as generally used.

Change of Food in the Stomach.

When the food has been nasticated and con-
verted into a semi-liqud paste, it is passed into
the stomach, which is simply an enlargement,
midway, Of the alimentary canal 1t is the the
atre of the second and most important stage of
the digestive process. The food is here exposed
TO the action of the gastric juice. This is secre
ted by the mucus membrane internal lining
of the stomach, which is full of minute pores
communicating with microscopic tubes or bags
closely leticulated with nerves and capillary
blood vessels The function of this apparatus is
the production of cells, which are discharged in
innumerable myrads into the cavity of the
stomach Arrived here they burst and pour
forth their liquid burden. This is the gastric
Juice. which physically Is a limpid and color
less fluid. Chemically, it powerfully solvent
and of acid reaction. Its acidity is mainly owing
to the presence Of muriatic or ehlorohydIic acid.
Hence the utility ofsalt, this mineral furnishing
the chlorine Of which cllorohydric acid is main
w constituted. There is also present in the
stomach. an azotised substance named pepsin
In the opinion Of Liebig this Is formed of minute
separated portions of the internal coat of the
stomach. IN the course Of decomposition 1t
combines with the oxy gen which has been swal
lowed entangled in the saliva, and so starts the
digestive fermentation. Without an abundant
secretion of gastric juice thepowers of digestion
must be inefficient. Now DR.. GOltlieb Fisch's
Bitters stimulate the flow of the gastric juice
aud thus strengthen the-digestiFe PesveFs, and
through them the bodily forces generally.

The Promenade Concert.

Monday night the eagerly looked-tor illumi-
nation and promenade concert came off. A
large and delighted assembla9e attested their
appreciation of the efforts of the young men of
the Silver Conet Band in the celebration of
their second anniversary The wind was lit
lie too strong and only the music stand and
gates were Illuminated but the occasion bor-
rowed much light as well as much loveiness
from Lunar's silvery rays, which truly const-
lated it, moonlight, candle-light love and mu-
sic The ladies never looked more beautiful
than on this occasion, and the young men did
their best to make their pleasure lacking in
nothing The music was excellent, and the
brief sensible aud witty speech of w. d. An
derson was gem of brilliancy, and sparkled
with mertorious tribute to the young men
Of the Cornet Band. The occasion was one of
enjoyment and passed off very creditabIy.
