ged an apple from her teacher? No
thing of the kind. She walked up to
that teacher and requested the privi-
lege Of speaking to Ida, who came late,
and when the favor was granted she
stepped up to her schoolmatc's desk,
and gave her a large, juicy pear. How
the little girls eyes sparkled as she
took it and thanked her in a low tone
What smile flashed over her face at
the unexpected gift i! And Fanny went
to her seat feeling that Ida Williams
need not look longingly at any fruit
that afternoon, with such a pear in
her possession.
Do You think Ida will forget that
act, children? The pear might be
quickly eaten, and its delicious flavor
forgotten but the kind feeling that
prompted Fanny to do this will make
a deep impression in the heart Of her
schoolmate.

Our community was both panied and
shocked yesterday evening by the entelli-
gence that MRS. NARY N. kELLs, the es-
timable wife OF our fellow-citizen, DR..
Robt. Kells, had died at half-past four o.
clock. The sad announcement has caused
intense and profound sorrow. Mrs. Kells
was only taken sick on on Saturday last,
and very many had not heard of her Illness
until the announcement of her death was
made. Her disease was congestion Of the
BRAN.
Mrs. KelIs will be sadly missed, not only
by her bereaved husband and her devoted
father, but by the entire community, ana
by many others who knew her only to love
her. They will read this notice with those
feelings of sorrow which overcome Us as we
attempt to pen it.
The deceased was the only child of DR..
NJ. w. Philips, now of Memphis. but who
came to her beside a few hours before her
departure. Never was father more devoted
to child, and never was that devotion more
lavishingly rewarded.
Mrs. Kells bad lived in this city for many
years. She was universally beloved. She
was a1pong the srst in every good and ap-
propriate work. To Gaze for the needy and
to relieve the distressed was always to her
labor of love and duty. The beauties of
the Christian character embellished her
life, and were manifest in her walk and
conversation. She was a devout member of
the Baptist church, a sincere and earnest
Christian.

Let Common sense Decide.

What is the rational mode of procedure in
cases of general debility and nervous pros
tration? Does not reason tell us that judi
cious stimulation is required. To resort TO
violent purgation in such a case is as absurd
as would be to bleed a starving man. Yet
it is done every day. Yes, this stupid
and unphilosophical practice is continued in
the teeth of the great fact that physical
weakness, with all the nervous disturbances
that accompany il, is more certainly and
rapidly relieved by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters than by any other medicine at pres
ent known. 1t is true that general debility
is often attended with torpidity or irregu-
larity of the bowels, and that this symptom
must not be overlooked. But while the dis
charge of the waste matter of the system is
expedited or regulated, its vigor must be
recruited. The Bitters do both. They COM
bine aperient and antibilous properties,with
extraordinary tonic power. Even while re-
moving Instructions from the bowels, they
tone and invigorate those organs. Through
the stomach, upon which the great vegeta-
able specific acts directly, it gives healthy
and permanent impetus to every enfeebled
function. Digestion is facilitated, the fall
tering circulation regulated, the blood rein
forced with a new accession of the alimen-
tary principle, the nerves braced, and all
the dormant powers of the system reused
into healthy action; not spasmodically, as
would be case if mere stlmulant were adj
Dlinistered, but for continuance. 1t is in
this way that such extraordinary changes
are wrought in the condition of the feeble,
emaciated and nervous invalids by the ust
of this wonderful corrective. Alternative an6
tonic. Let common sense decide between
such preparation and prostrating cathar
tic supplemented by poisonous astringen
like strychnine or quinia.

The Fastcst Train fn the WorI.

The new express train from Plymouth to
Lendc will probably be the fastest train
in the world, in the part of its journey
which lies over the Bristol and Exeter and
Great Western Railways. Leaving Exeter
at 10 &c, it is timed to reach Paddington
at 2 :45; including a stoppage OF five minutes
at Bristol, and the inevitable and vexatiOns
ten minutes at Swindon. the journey of 1874
miles will occupy four hours and quarter.
The Irish mail, hitherto considered the
fastest@rain, occupies six hours and thirty
five minutes between London and Holy
head, being at the pace of only 40
miles in four hours and a quarter. The
fastest train on the Great Northern
line is between London and Peter
sborough, 76 miles done in one hour and
thirty-seven minutes; but the Great West
ern accelerated express will run from Swim
don to London, az miles, in one hour and
twentv-seven minutes. The IL As train
from Paddington will perform the journey
to Plymouth in only five minutes more time
than the new up express.

Growers is invited to the advertisement of
this valuable apparatus by Capt. G. ID.
Bustamante in to-day's paper. That there
is an advantage in drying fruit either for
family use or for market no one will dispute.
but the cost and trouble of doing SO by the

the matter their attention, heretofore, pre-
ferring to feed the fruit to their~hogs. the

fruit effectively and eXpeditiously. in all
