THE BATTLES OF LIFE,

We each have our own path In life;
All are unlike, because, torsooth,
Though running over the same broad plain,
Some lead through thorns while some
are smooth.
We all have rough and stony places,
And sometimes think from progress
made,
And labor, and fatigue Of travel,
We're surely going up The grade.
But ere we feel ourselves upliflcd,
We glance on all. within our scope,
And view the lights in the heights above
us,
Sadly revealing our do,onwdrd slope.
But, weary traveller, DER this rough way
DO not rcpine ut thy sad lot;
The seemingly favored ones do not Inherit
All thy imaginings. Envy them not.
Fret not vainly to be famous
All cannot be world-renowncd;
DO your duty, and never think
OF blazoning your honors round.
A man can be Il hero truly,
In the lowest spheres of life,
With honest heart and hands to labor
Amid the hourly din and strife.
Yes, he can act the christian hero,
Fen though within his humble home,
And wrcathc thereby 4 richer halo
Than ever gildcd glorious Rome.
Yes! his the crow of fadeless glory,
Made not of diamonds, gold and jet.
Heroic virtues, deeds of love,
viii deck this priceless coronct.
Faint not, nor falter, broken-hearted;
Many are fighting life's battles with you,
Thousands have won-las the spirit de-
That moved them to conflict and triumph
too?
self-conquest though we here should
learn.
Is u great gift, which, to us all,
Preserves our tcmpers all the same,
mistaken, whether we win or fall.
1t is an armor in the warfare
Is q sure talisman in life
A safeguard in the hour of danger
A truce in the hottest hour of strife.
Remember. then, this maxim ancient,
And known e'er since the world began
OF all the foes that here beset us,
"The greatest enemy to mankind is man.

Bear in Mind.

When disease has undermined the health
and the physical system has become pros
tratcd. a stiinulrnt that wifi not only
strengthen, but remove the cause, should
be Immediately resOrted to. Mental dis
tress is also Il fruitful source of the break
irg down Of the constitution. and the raw
ages of this enemy to health are truly
alarming. For all such maladics Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters haze been found UNI
surpassed. BY acting directly upon the
digestive organs, they remove the heavy.
disagrccablc feeling after eating so often
complained of by persons OF a delicate
temperament. As soon As digestion is re-
stored, the patient finds his strength in
creasing, and his general health improved,
Thousands Of persons certify that it may
be relied on in all cases of weakness OF
nervous debility attendant upon sodcnta-
ny habits. The generality of Bitters are
so disagreeablc to the taste that they are
Objectionable to a weak stomach. This is
not the case with Ilostetter's BitterS,
which will be found mild and extremely
pleasant. Balsamic plants, barks and
roots contribute their restorative juices to
render it soothing and strengthening.
Its basis is the only pure stimnlant which
has ever been produced, containing no
fusil oil. or any other deleterious element.
The most careful and skiltnl chemists have
analysed the Bittcrs, and pronounce them
harmless. This il scientific testimony /;
but the testimony OF the hundreds of thous
ands who heve experienced the preventive
and curative effects of the great vegetable
tonic and Alternative of modern times is
still more conclusive. In Fever and Ague,
Dyspepsia, Billiousness, Nervous Com
plants, Chronic Complaints and general
debility it is as nearly innfallibie as any
thing in this talliblc world can be.

The Rocky Mountain News mentions
in Sundays issue the following singular
fact: A man named Miles Maudin was
shot by his sister-in-law, four months
ago, at farmhouse on Cherry creek, a
few miles above Denver City He has
been attended by Dr. McCleland, of
Denver, who states that the ball entered
the body Of the fourth dorsal vertebf@,
severing the spinal cord entire, and pass
ing into the right lung, causing complete
loss of sensation and motion below that
point, embracing at least two-thirds Of
the body. In this condition he has re-
NAMED up to date, with no noticeable
change, except the formation Of several
ulcers upon the legs and hips, with no
prospect Of recovery. Remarkable as
it may appear, he has all the time a good
appetite, and also good mental ability
so that he has been able to transact any
kind of business. His case is unprece-
dented as to the length Of time he has
survived his terrible injuries. 1t has
seldom been recorded that similar cases
survived the injuries more than thirty
days. He is said to be slowly declining
although the wound caused by the ball
healed weeks ago, and the lung which
was perforated is apparently sound.
How long he may live 1t is at present
impossible to prognosticate.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Arrest Deoay.-Wheu a plant or a tree be-
gins to decay it must die. Il cannot be re-
vitalized. But it is not so with human beings.
A human ruin can be repaired, strengthened,
restored, though brown leaf or q withered
blade Of grass can never be made green again.
In the autumn Of life, or even in its winter,
when nature seems TO be giving way under
the pressure Of years. it is still possible to re-
iard the progress Of decay, and to lend to age
more than its wonted vigor. As a means Of
promoting this object. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is unquestionably the most potent Of
all restoratiyes. It will not make the oil
the infrmities which are the usual accom-
paniments Of the decline Of life. For debility
and lack Of nervous power. from whatever
cause arising. It is the medicine that Of all
others before the world, best deserves the
name Of a specific. In purity. in invigoTating
properties, in its adaptation to weak stomacbs
and feeble organizations, il has no competitor
among the tonics Of the pharmacepeia, nor
among proprietary remedies. Besides its
strengthening principle. it possesses altera-
tive and regulating properties Of the highest
order. and as an anti-bilious medicine is far
preferable to any Of the preparations contain
ing mercury. Time has shown that for physi-
cal decay. nervous debility. dyspepsia. bilious
disorders. and intermittent fever. Hostetter's
Bitters is a remedy without a rival I is is
the season Of the fall Of the leaf; let il re-
mind the old. the feeble, the siekly. to invig-
crate and regulate their systems with this
great vegetable tonic and alternative.
