Too TRUE.-When a rakish youth
goes astray friends gather around him
to restore him to the path of virtue.
Gentleness and kindness are furnished
to win him back to innocence and
peace. No one could eve suspect he
ever committed any wrong. But when
a poor. contiding girl is betrayed she
receives the brand Of society, and is
driven from the ways Of virtue. The
betrayer is honored, respected, esteem
ed but there IS no peace for her this
side Of the grave. Her society has no
loving, helping hand for her, no smile
of peace, no voice of forgiveness
These are earthly moralities unknown
to heaven. There is q deep wrong in
them, and fearful are the consequences

CHEERING FAoTs FOR THE B1L1ous.-Every
day demonstrates more clearly that liver conn
plant, in all it's distressing forms, can be
controlled and cured without difficulty or in
convenience. It is an obstinate disease, but
its obstihacyis not proof against the pertina-
cions, remedial and restorative operation OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. That genial
corrective compels the organ to do its ,iuty.
It must secrete regularly and healthfully un-
der the influence Of tho Bitters. Their action
bringsit back from state of rebellion into
perfect harmony with the laws Of health. If
there is costiveness, it disappears; il there is
side.ache or back ache, it ceases; if the skin
and the whites of the eyes arc tineed with
supernuous bile, they recover their natural
hue; il the appetite is gone, it returns; if tho
digestion is impaired, it is rcstored in brief,
whatever the symptoms Of the ompiaint NAV
be, and whatever the phase it has assumed. a
cure as certain. Such are the uniform effects
OF this preparation where bilious disease has
been already developed; but in cases where
there is merely constitutional tendency to
liver complaint, it may be prevented through
out life by the regular use, in small uuanti-
ties, OF this paiatable antidote. These are
proven facts, and should be seriously non
dered-or, rather. they should be promptly
acted upon.by all persons Of rilious habit.
