It took the faculty about a Thousand years to dis
cover that the best way to cure disease not TO
render the patient too weak to contend with IT,
within the last twenty years, however, the whole
system OF medical practice has boon changed for the
better IN diseases or complaints caused by excess
sive heat for instance, the doctors no longer recon-
mend the reduction Of the nyalids strength bypros-
rating medicines The vast success which has
attended the Of Hostetter's stomach Bitters as
remedy for debility, has given the most preju-
diced members Of the old school an insight into the
only rational theory Of cure. Cautharides, calome,
and OyerpOwering doses Of opium are now among
the obsolete nostrums Of another age. The lancet,
once much the legitimate weapon Of the physician
az the sword Is of the soldier, IL seldom drawn from
its case. The principle Of life il no longer drained
from the ycius by the quart, and waterRrucl for the
strengthlcss individual has ceased 30 be- considered
an appropriate dict YiRDr IL the motto Of the
rational members Of the profession, and They under
stand al last the value Of sterling vegetable tonic.
SO. ALSO with the people at large and without con-
sultiug medical at az, they have adopted the BIT
tcrs az a household remedy, thereby economizng
both cash and health.
Note the fact that HDstCtters stomach Bitters IL
sold I'm BOTTLES only IN bulk, and that tho abOr
lions ppriuRlng up in various parts Of the country,
and sometimes offered substitutes for the great
national SPECIFIC are utterly worthless.

DY PAuL1NA BAILEY.
Within the vale, where proud New England's
Lofty hills, and kingly forests, tower
Above the cleaning waters, of the blue,
And placid Lake, found me. At my feet
The silvcr.crestcd waves came up and kissed
The foliage. And anon, the glancing waters
Parted, and the oar Of skill lful pilot
Ncared my boat to shore.
Again, its light keel cleft the waters,
And swift, gliding in its wake, the silver bells
Came mp, through misty foam, and died away
In melody. The balmy air, all laden
With the breath of sweet, wild flowers, grew
soft
With gushing music. And the song birds tone
Just iloatcd DER rs, with u sweetness all its
own.
While from the foot OF jagged rock, sweet lilies.
Golden eyed, looked up, to greet the sunshine.
Beyond,
Majestic mountaus raised their stately heads
In silent grandeur; and the ileeCy clouds
Sailed downward, till their beauty crowned
them,
Then they changed to waves Of golden splendor,
And they parted DER the face of yon blue sky,
And all their radiance came down,
And rested on the waters.

The DeacOn's Strategy.

Deacon W.--was a staid aud hon
est deacon in one of the interior towns
Of this State, who had vein OF dry
caustic humor in his composition. The
deacon had boy Of some dozen sum
mers, who was somewhat inclined to be
a little ugly when not under the parcn-
tai eye. In school, especially, he was
n source Of annoyance to his teacher.
One day the teacher punished him
for some misdemeanor, and he told his
ia ther that the mistress had whipped
him.
'What,' exclaimed the deacon, ele-
waiting his eyebrows, you've been whip
ped
y a-a as, sohbed the boy.
'And did ye let woman whip you?
shonted the deacon.
y a-a as | couldn't help it,
well, John, you little rascal, you 90
on to school tomorrow, and if Miss
d undertakes to whip you any
more, you just pitch in Don't never
let woman whip you again ifyou can
help it, Don't take stick to strike her
with, but you may strike, bite, kick and
scratch as much as you have q mind to-
The next day the boy went to school
and emboldencd by the permission Civ.
en- by his father, was soon bro't before
the tribunal Of violated rules. "7 The
teacher undertook to correct him. John
went for her. and the result was that
he got most uumerciful trouncipg aud
was thoroughly subdued. He went to
his father crying when he got home.
We'll, dad, | got an awful licking to-
day
What, said the old deacon shave you
been letting that woman whip you
again.
y a-a as, said the boy.
y "a as chuckled the humorous old
deacon, you tarnal little fool, l knew
she would, and she'll give you troun
cling every time she tries to, and | ad-
wise you to behave yourself in the fu-
ture.'
John soon began to have some dim
perception of his fathers motive, and
ever after that was better and wiser

ten years after it wqs written, was
proceeding by sea to an unhearthly coast
station, in the company Of two young
ensigns, and upwards of fifty native con.

guard. AS we neared the station, one
of these young ensigns, still rlddy with
English health, sat at the cuddy table
with me: we were both writing letters,
to be despatched Immediately on land

saying: "Do you know this song? He
had come by accident upon it in his
writing-desll, whilst searching for an
English letter. He read it out from
beginning to end with great gusto, al
most singing the concluding lines of
each verse, given above, and finishing
by asking me if it was not fine. Three
or four days afterwards he was dead.
He was literally the next who died i
among the officers of the great army to
which he belonged.

WHOLE NO. A68
Let This be in Our Platform.

Mr.. Cox, of this city, recently intro
duced bill in the House Of Representa-
tives, reciting as follows:
"That the ordinary expense oil the
Government, exclusive Of interest on the
public debt, and reasonable sum for
the reduction of the principal, should not
exceed $lO0,00O,000 year; that the
money raised by taxation should not
exceed $2j0,0O0,000 a year, Sl2j,O0O,-
900 to meet the intorest, and Sl25,000,-
900 to go to liqujdate the principal of
the public d.bt.
That TIE existing Internal Revenue
system should be abolished, and the
sum deemed proper to be raised by iu-
terual taxation assigned in just proper
tions to the several States, to be col
Iected by the authorities thereof and
paid into the national treasury.
That important duties should be levied
with a view to revenue only, not for
the purpose and with the effect of pro.
tecting particular classes, trades and in
diyiduals, al the expense of the people.
That there are many dutiable articles,
as salt, coal, &C., which should be on,
tirely free, and others, such as lumber,
pig-iron, leather, &C., on which the duty
should be greatly reduced and instruct
ing the Committee of Ways and Means
to inquire into the expediency Of embody-
ing these principles in bill to be
reported to the House" "
Now let the Democracy adopt this as
q portion of their platform for future
campaigns, until the people shall be
relieved of the great intamy Of internal
revenue lecches, who are sucking out
the strength and vitality OF the land.
This is what "revcnue reform means,
but we have no hope that Radical
Congress will adopt any such measures.
Mr.. c KS bill was turned over 10 the
Ways and Means Committee, and we
beseech the Democrats in the House TO
watch it carefully, that it be not alto
gethGr smothcred Compel the Radical
majority to face the matter sqnarcly,
and then let the arguments Of the ID m
ocratic members 20 to the country the
best campaign documents we can I'VE.
These measures The DEMoCRAT has
always urged, and it accords all honor
to Mr.. Cox for having first given them
practical, test shape, and will be found
working with it a far in the van as any
one. Abolish the Federal taxgathcrcrs,
who take millions of dollars from the
people each year that never so to the
public treasury. Let each State collect
and pay over the revenue through its
own already constituted officials. The
adoption of NJ. Cox's bill will abolish
many thousands of taXgliherers, give us
q greater revenue, and lessen the taxes
to a great dcgree,-N. Y. Weekly DEM

HARBoRING HUsBANDs.-lt has Just
been decided by the Superior Court in
Cincinnati, that wife has a vested
right in her husbands society and COM
panionship, aud can maintain an action
for damages for the loss thereof. 1t ap-
pears that the husband had an adopted
daughter who was married, aud, gradu
ally, he absented himself fom his owo
house until, at last, he resided perma-
nently with these people. The wife
brought suit against her husband and
the other two for damages for the loss Of
his company and society. Upon de-
murrer, the Court ruled that the action
would not lie as against her husband,
hut her right of action against those who
drew away and harbored her husband
was indisputable. Persons will, there
fore, take notice that, if they harbor
husbands, they are liable to the wives
for damages.
