Special NOTICES.
BiIiousness and Indigestion.-T

two complaints are more general at this season
OF the year than at almost any other. They are
closely akin; for billousness always Involves an
impaired digestion, and indigestion is successfully
an accompaniment of q disordcred liver. Happy
the man or woman who can boast of a stomach
that has never felt the horrors Of dyspepsia, and
to whom that great secrelve agent, the liver, has
never given pain or trouble. Not one in Il thou
sand Can lay claim to entire immunity from ir-
regularity in these organs. How, then, shall
they be regulated? Not by powerful cathartcs
ntcrnated with ordinary stimulants, but by u
medicinal invigorant, like Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, which combine, in due proportion, the
tonic and the Alternative principle. Wherever
there is church, school-housc and general
store, this famous medicine may be procured
No village merchant finds it prudent to be with
out 1t, for it is enquired for every day by every
clnss. The working man buys it because it in
crcaseS his capacity for toll, and is followed by
no reaction. The effect OF the salubrious roots,
herbs, etc, Of which it is composed, dittuscd
through his system By the pure stimuanL which
forms the basis of the Bittcrs, is most healthtul
and invigorating. The scholar, The merchant,
and in fact all men whose minds or bodies, or
both, are in constant exercise, will derive benefit
from its use. To persons of sodcntary habits it
supplies, in some measure, that activity in the
circulation which is obtained by physical cXcr
ton, and is the best known remedy for cnnstipa-
ton.

FL Vino SatAllna.-Ihc announcement
that has been so generally hcralded throughout
the country that an American company has again
commenced importing this celebrated Wine
Tonic is Il matter of no small Importance, and
will be hailed with JOY by all those seeking a
pure and invigoratlng tonic; also, those who
need pure, pleasant and refreshing stlmulant
will find in the El Vino Catalina, or Browns
Catalina Wine Tonic, what they want. 1t will
be remembered that importations were made in
1866 of this noted brand, but in consequence of
the high duty then demanded by this govern
mcnt, the enterprise ceased, to the regret OF
thousands who had learned its value. 1t is tho
oldest tonic in the world and doubtless tho most
nvigorating, the plycst and best, and if impor-
tation continues at the rates now started 1t will
take its place in every family in this as well as
in the old countries. It's merits will make it q
household article, and we hope that every one
who has ever used any Bitters or common patent
tonic will at least try one bottle Of tho Catalina,
and then decide for themselves whether they
will use this Tonic, prepared from the pure
juice Of the Catalina grape, with Callsaya and
the spices of Ceylon, or bittcrs made OF COM
mon whiskcy and bitter field herbs Ih; is an
invaluable preparation for weakness ard dcblil-
ty; it relieves morning languor and gives fresh
reaction.

A DISLIKE OF TWINS.

A dislike of twins Is widely distri-
buted. In the island of Bali, Java.
the natives "have the singular idea.
when a woman is brought to bed OF
twins, that it is an unlucky omen,
and Immediately on it, being known.
the woman. with her husband and
children. is obliged 10 go and live
on the sea-shore, or among the
tombs, for the space of 4 month. to
purify themselves. after which they
may return into the village upon a
suitable sacrifice being made. Thus
an evidence Of fertility is considered
by them unfortunate. and the poor
woman and her new born babes are
exposed to- all the inclemency of the
weather ont OF doors, Just at the
time when they need the most at
tention.' The idea is, however. far
from being peculiar to that island.
Among the hhasias of Hindostan,
"in the case of twins being born.
one used frequently to be killed: it
is considered unluckv. and also de-
grading, to have twins. IS they con-
Hliti lii.sb ~ stN~lillAAAltH lllEiu W llil
the lower animals
Among the Amos Of Japan when
twins are born, one is always de.
stroyed. At Arebo, in Guinel. Smith
and Hosman tell us that when twin.
are born. both they and the mother
are killed. I'm Niguru. one of tn,
sister provinces to Unyanyembc
twins are ordered to he killed ant
thrown into the water the moment
they are born, lest droughts ant
famines should oppress the land
Should any one attempt to concea
twins, the whole family would b,
murdered
The American Indians. also, on th,
birth of twins, killed one; perhaps
merely under the idea that one stront
child is better than two weak ones.

COMING HOME.

o, brothers and sisters. growing old,
Do you all remember yet
That home in the shade OF the rbstling
Where once our household met'
Do you know how we used 70 come from
school.
Through the summers pleasant heat.
With the yellow frnuel'S golden dust
on our tired little fcct'
And how, sometimes, in an idle mood,
We loitered hy the way,
And stopped in the woods To gather ilow
And in the fields to plays
Till warned by the deepening shadows
fall.
That told Of the coming night,
We climbed 10 the top Of the last long
hill.
And saw our home in slghts
And, brothers and sisters. older now,
Than She whose life i o'cr.
Do YOU think Of the moiher'S loving face,
That looked from the open door
Alas. for the changing things Of time!
That home IN the dust Is low
And tnai loving smile was hid from us
In the darkness long ago.
And we come al last To lifc's last hill,
Z rom WHICH our Mf'AfA ~ -
Can almost look on that home that shines
Eternal in the skies.
So brothers and sisters. a we go,
Still let Us move rs one;
Always together Keeping step.
Till the march of liie il done.
For that mother who waited for us here
Wearing smile 80 sweet,
Now waits on the hill, OF Paradise,
For her childrcu's coming feet
