Over.WOrk.

The complaint is quite universal that
in our American life we over-strain the
muscle, over-wear the brain and over
burden the heart. Men at the hottest
point of enterprise give out, and consump-
tion takes the body, lunacy the mind,
avarice the affections. Prominent men
drop suddenly here and there, when they
are all aglow with perspiration, and d.
lated eye, and absorption of success. The
epitaph is, "died of over-work." 1t
should be, "died of mismanaged work" I"

Our ship danced like wherry, and drove

no one dared leave his hold of rope or

behind US, and piled slowly up until it
seemed as if they must come aboard ; and
finally, when the stern of the old ship
caught the lift of the swell and rose to re-

And then from the crest of the wave
we seemed to rush like coasters on hill

After the trees come into a good bearing

top-dressed with barnyard manure, in

After the orchard Is in full bearing, all

THE SKEPTICAL CoNvINCED.-Every
advance in Medicine, every new remedy,
has encountered an opposition, which is
the test of truth. Galen and Jenner only
were believed when they had proved their
discoveries against opposition. But men
are observing, and benefits always make
believers. No incredulity can stand the
silent argument of good results. When
DR. Walker proclaimed that he had pro-
duced from the medicinal herbs of Cali
fornia an Elixir that would regenerate the
sinking system and cure diseases not or
ganic, the incredulous shook their heads.
Yet his VINEGAR BITTERs is now the
Standard Restorative of the Western
World. The truth could not be resisted.
Under the operation of the new remedy,
Dyspeptics regained their health, appetite
and strength, the Bilious and Constipated
were relieved of every distressing symp-
tom; the Consumptive and Rheumatic
rapidly recovered; Intermittent and Re-
mittent Fevers were broken up; the taint
of Scrofula was eradicatedl Who could
gainsay facts like these? Not even the
Faculty. Skepticism was routed. All
doubts as to the claims of the Bitters to
the first place in the first rank of modern
medicines were silenced, and this wonder
full preparation is to-day the most popular
Tonic, Alternative and Blood Depurent
ever advertised in America. In common
with other journalists, we are free to add
our testimony to this remedy. 1t is a
domestic medicine, and no household
should be without it.

Direct Your Letters Carefully.

THE Postal Record says that during the
last year there were sent to the Dead Let
ter Office nearly three million letters.
Sixty-eight thousand of these letters
could not be forwarded owing to the care
lessness of the writer's omitting to give
the county or State; 400, 900 failed to be
sent because the writers forgot to put on
stamps, and over 5000 letters were put
in the Post Office without any address
whatever. In the letters above named
was found over $4,000 in cash, drafts,
checks, etc., etc., to the value of So, ,000,-
600. There were 80, 0S9 photographs
contained in the above letters. Of course
nearly all the money and valuables were
returned to the owners, but much need
less delay, many charges or dishonesty,
ETC., etc, might have been saved if the
writers of the letters could have been a
little more careful, and taken the precau-
ton to see that their letters were in
mailable condition before deposit1ng them
in the Postoffice. 1t is more than proba-
BILE that nine-tenths of all the complaints,
losses and delays, which are laid to the
Post-Ofiice Department, are in reality due
the carelessness of their writers.

The ss Housekeeper of Our Health.

The liver is the great depurating or blood
cleansing organ of the system. Set the great
of our health at work, and the
foul corruptions which gender in the blood,
and rot out, as it were, the machinery of life,
are gradually expelled from the system. For
this purpose DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is pre-eminently the article needed.
1t cures every kind of humor from the worst
scrofula to the common pimple, blotch or
eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly heal
under its mighty curative influence. Viru-
lent blood poisons that lurk in the system
are by it robbed of their terrors, and by a
persevering and somewhat protracted use of
it, the most tainted system may be complete
ly renovated and built up anew. Enlarged
glands, tumors and swellings dwindle away
and disappear under the influence of this
great rssolvent. 1t is sold by all druggists.

In Case of Accident.

When a serious accident occurs, it is
proper, of course, to send for the doctor;
but it frequently happens, especially in
the country, that a considerable time
must elapse before he can arrive. In such
cases those who are not doctors are often
compelled to do something Immediately
for the sufferer, and few hints for emer-
gencies of this kind may be acceptable to
erything we have to saw has been said

False Theories Overthroxyn.

We live under a new medical dispensation, very
different from that under which SO many OF our
forefathers died. The sick are longer bled till
they faint, nor gorged with mercury, prostrated
with violent cathartics, ror blistered on their

have been the watchwords Of the iudicious portion
of the profession. The remarkable success OF this
famous vegetable preventive, invigorant and cor

general treatment Of disease. At first the dogmatic
members of the faculty would not believe in it.
"Whatl" they exclaimed, "cure liver complaint
