POINTS OF SUNRISE AND SUNSET IN
DIFFERENT SEAsONs.-f you could
stand on the north pole of our earth, the sun
would, during the summer time, never set,
and, on the longest day of the year, move
round aud round, always 223 degrees above
your horizon. When on that day you were
22b degrees from the pole-thus at latitude
771 degrees-(the polar cirele)-you would
see the sun at midnight just touch the hor-
lion, and your days would be still twenty
four hours long, without night. This takes
place at TOrnea, in Sweden, and people
from more southern regions go there that
day on excursions to see the phenomenon
Of the sun not setting at ALL IL you go
more south the length of the night increas-
es; so that at 30 degrees latitude it is about
i've hours long; and at 40 degrees about
eight hours, at 80 degrees eleven hours.
Between the tropics the sun rises and sets at
6 the whole year round. That we in our
latitude see the sun longer than twelve
hours i'm summer, and shorter than twelve
hours in winter, above the horizon, is, that
In summer its apparent motion is in cir
Gle nearer to the north pole, and in winter
in a circle nearer to the south pole. The
Sun moves in great circle (the equator)
only on March 21st and September 2lst; at
all other seasons in smaller circles nearer to
the north pole, and higher up for us in sum-
mer: and as these smaller circles, which all
have the north pole for their centre, are
visible i'm our latitude for more than half
their circumferenee,w I'VE see the sun for more
than half the circumference of the horizon.

READ THE FOLLOWING LETTER
FROM A RELIABLE DRUGGIST:

MOUNT VERNON, ILL, April 70, 1S71.--Messre.
j. n. Harris s. Co., Cincinnati, Ohio.-Gentle-
men: heard one of my customers speak in such
high terms of Aliens Lung Balsam to-day, that
l thought would write you the substance of his
statements. He says his mother, who is now
si5ty years Of age, has sUFFERRD with CONSUME
TIoN for SEVERAL YEARS, and has been under
the care of all our best pagsiciGHs, but never re-
ceived any permanent benefit; then she resorted
to every kind of Cough and Lung Balssm that
could be procured for her, but ali to GvGiJ. She
still grew worse, until she was confined to her
bed; and when she was seized with a paroxysm
of coughing, she would lose the polver Of respirc
ton, and they were compelled 70 resort to var
iOus means to restore breathing; and while she
coughed so hard she could not exporate anything,
and the family and friends had given up all hopes
of her recovery. Her son noticed the advertise
ment of Aliens Lung Balsam in the Christina
Advocate, and they thought they would procure
and try it. They commenced giving her the Bal
sam at o'clock Pm. as directed, dose every
hour until midnight; then she took another spell
of coughing and expectOrated a mouthful Of
dark, yellow matter, which was something she
had not been able to do for some time. They con-
tinued to give her the Balsam until morning, and
then she began to expectorate freely, and within
two hours she had ExPECToRATED Two PINTs of
mucous mater, which gave her immediate re-
lief; and since that time she has continued to
improve. She now sits up all day, and can walk
about the house and take considerable outdoor
exercise. Her SOD bought more of the Balsam
to-day, and he is recommending it very highly TO
every one. Yours respectfully,
A. @. JOHNSON, Druggist.
Was there ever greater proof Of merit than che
case this letter refers TO?
ALIENS LUNG BALSAM Is without doubt
the BEST ExPEoToRANr REMEDY ever offered to
the afflicted public. 1t contains no opium in any
form, and its use is harmless to the most deicata

Peril and PrecanfIon-

This is a season that tries the frame and the
constitution. If there be aweak spot in either,
the chilling damps, the malarous fogs, the varie-
ties of temperature that mark the commence
ment of the winter season are sure to find it out
There are few systems that have not a weak spot
somewhere, and the wisest thing that any man
or woman can do is to fortify it by a course of
HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, and thus keep the
enemy at bay. In war, when city is mensced
the first thing to be done is to strengthen the
ramparts. The same policy should be adopted
with the human body, when its direst foe, mala-
ria, is abroad If the stomach is weak, this tonic
will lend it vigor; if the bowels are morbidly SEN
sitive, this Alternative will regulate them; If the
liver is inert, this wholesome stinulant will
rouse it; if there is constipation, this aperient
will cure It; if there is nervous debility, this ner-
vine will replace it with nervous vigor; if there
is impurity in the blood, this depurent will neu-
tralze it, If there is a cloud on the spirits, this
exhilarant will dispel it. These are facts that
have been demonstrated every day for the last
twenty years. Can as much be said for any other
medicine-or rather, can a. much be proved? for
anything may be said by the inscriptions. Do
not accept any of the local bitters sometimes re-
commended by dealers in lieu of the Standard
Restorative. dec16 deod1w&w1t sp3dp
