Dr., WELLS, EXTRACT Of JURUB6BA
Exuberaml Health.

Is blessing vouchsaled to few. Even those
who have been favored by nature with strong
cons itutions and vigorous frames are apt to
NEGLECT the precautions necessary to preserve
these precious endowments. Indeed, as a
rule. the more healthy and robust man is,
the more liberties he is inclined 20 take with
his own physique. IT is some consolation to
the naturally weak and feeble TO know that
they can be so incigorated and built up, by
a proper use Of she means which science has
,laced at their disposal, as TO have a much
better chance Of long life, and exemptions
from disease and pain, than the most athlet-
lie of their fellows who are foolish enough to
srppose themselves icyulnerable, and act ac-
coriingly.
If Is not to much 10 say that more than
half the people Of the civilized world need
an occasional tonic, to enable them to sup
port the strain upon their bodies and minds,
which the fast life of this restless age occa-
sions In fact, pure, wholesome, unexct-
ing tonic is the grand desideratuHl OF the bu-
sy millions, and they have the article In
liostetter's Stomach Filters. 1t as stamln-
al medicine, /. e. 1t imparts permanent
strength &c weak systems and lnvlSerates del
icate constitutions. Its reputation and Its
sales have steadily increased. Competitive
preparations have been introduced AID LIBI-
rev, and, as far as the public is concerned,
AID XAUsCuN, in the hope Of rivaling it; but
they have all either persisted in the attempt,
or been far in the rear. 1t has been the
great medical success of the present century
and it Is quite certain that no proprietary
medicine in this country is as widely known,
or as generally used.
Ten lightning presses, running ineessant-
" Sundays exceFted,s the whole ye4I
through, barely supply the demand for the
illustrated Almanac, in which the nature
and uses Of the preparation are set forth, tho

Habit OF Work.

In Finding Ones Occupation Gone, "
intended apparently to show the impossi.
blity of man &C ually retiring from all
work, is the following -" The hankering
after old occupations is everywhere to be
met with after the occupations gone"
"Mr. DICKENS, on his homeward
passage from America, had for one of his
fellow. passengers an English sailor, a
smart, thorough built man-of-war's man
from his hat to his shoes, who was on his
way home to see his friends, and who,
when he presented himself to take ard
pay for his passage, had been advised to
work it instead and save the money-a
suggestion he secuted with scorn ineffable,
swearing, in seaman's style ofimprecation,
that nothing should hinder his going as a
gentleman. So they took his money. But
no sooner was he aboard than he slowed
his kit in the forcastle, arranged to mess
with the crew, and the very first time the
hands were turned up, he went aloft like a
cat before any body. And all through the
passage there he was, first at the braces,
outermost on the yards, perpetually lend
ing hand everywhere, but always with a
sober dignity in his manner, and sober
grin on his face, which plainly said, / do
it as gentleman. For my own pleasure,
mind YOU"

The Humbug OF Early Rising.

ALI. this talk about early rising is moon.
shine. The habit of turning out of bed in
the middle of the night suits some people
let them enjoy it. But it is folly to lay
down general rule upon the subject.
Some men are fit for nothing all day after
they have risen early in the morning.
Their energies are deadened, their imaei.
nations are heavy, their spirits are de.
pressed. 1t is said you can work so we'll
in the morning. Some people can, but
others can work best at night; others,
again, in the afternoon. Long trial and
experiment form the only conclusive tests
upon these points. AS for getting up
early because Prof Cannon has written
letters to the papers proving the necessity
OF 1t, let no one be goose enough to do it.
We all know the model man, aged eighty !:
II invariably rise at s.; l work three
hours, take light breakfast-namely, a
cracker and pinch of salt-work five
hours more; never smoke, never drink
anything but barley water, eat no dinner.
and go to bed at 6 in the evening" II
