stepped into q large manufacturing es-
tabiishment, the manager of which is an
ancient acquaintance. "Now," said he,
"there's one queer thing. al she four
members OF this firm are strong Grant

ploy, more than 100, go for Greeley
every time. They soy it's the same thing

afterward I met local politician. s'Ail

a Wholesome Stimulnnt, That IL Alb
solusoly Pure.-Physicians throughout the
world agree as to the necessity for diffusive
stimulants in medical practice. but complain,
and with good reason, of the impossibiity Of
obtaining them pure. The difficulty here
presented would be serious one indeed, if
the class Of agents WAS limited to the adulte-
rated liquors and wines OF trade. It va
nishes, however, when the absolute purity
and extraordinary restorative properties OF
H0STETTER'S BITTERS are taken into con-
sideration. AS q stimulant, the article is
absolutely free from everything Objectionable; {;
put this is only ono OF its recomm N ndations
II it were nothing moro than an excitaut, its
effects would be fieeting. 1t might refresh
and revive the system for few minutes, but
could produce no permanent benefit The
stimulating elements of the Bitters is
meaus, not an end. The tonic. anti. bilious,
depurative and aperiont vegetable juices
combined in the preparation are tho agents
that impart vigor and regularity to the weak
ous principle being chiefly useful in difusinR
their influence through the system and other
wise facilitating their operation. Alcohol.
even in its purest form, is not 30 much n
medicine aa motive power, by which the
specifics Of the vegetable kingdom may be
brought to bear upon the debiiitated snd dis
ordered organs that require renovating and
regulating; and it is in this way that the pure
essence OF rye incorporated in Hostetter's
Bi,ters increases the efficiency OF the purely
medical Ingredients. Nav 81 t3

The Champngne Oror,

1t will be held to be dismal news by
many who think they are in the habit of
drinking champagne, that an authority
likely to be trustworthy sends lugubrious
tidings from Chalons about the crop.
This writer describes the harvest as
scarcely third of the average yield,
adding, and this, too, after couple of
years equally bad" A result of this
grievous state of affairs is, that wine is
sent out when only year old, whereas
it used to be kept till three, four or FIVE,
and, of course, suffers accordingly in
quality. The demand is enormously in
excess of the supply, Notwithstanding
that within the twelve months 100000
of bottles have left Epernay, The
present harvest is all bespoken,
and there is consequently every
reason why our local manufacturers OF
soidistant Cliquot should make prepara-
tons for an active and profitable season,
knowing as they well do that, as one OF
the fraternity expressed it, ANY thing
that pops" has well-wired cork, and a
good embossed label, does just as we'll
with many Of their connoisseur custo-
mers as though it had crossed the At
lantic. In one district along the banks
of the Marne, where until lately they
only raised cheap red wine, the failure
of white wines and the increased de-
mand for them during the past three
years, has induced the proprietors to
change the color of their vintage, and
the result has been enormously remu-
nerative.

We cant. We wouldn't for our lives.
We don't know what to do. Sometimes

desperate, determined women to go from

She might have been bankers daughter,
With millions Of the yellow ore;
She might have been, as I've since though
her,
A shop girl in dollar store;
An heiress or q smile provider,
Which Of the two / cannot say
| only know sat beside her
That matinee.
Brown-hsired, white -thrOatod, crimson
kidded,
Slim waist close clasped in violet silk;
Blue eyes long lashed and lily-lidded,
And teeth like ivory dipped in milk.
Two lips red-ripe, dew-wet, which thrilled m,
Responsive to their varying play
She never knew how dead she killed me
That matinee.
And when between the acts quick meeting;
The orchestra breathed music's boon,
Her little foot in rhythmic beating
Kept dainty time to every tune.
All! Sweet Unknown, one thought will rankle
For after all man is but clay
/ tried, but failed, to see your ankle.
That matinee.
At last my chance came-one to die on;
Her handkerchief dropt from her palm;
fell upon it like lion
And then returned 1t like lamb.
Our fingers met-I trembled greatly; ,r,
She thanked me in q modest way;
Then wiped her little mouth sedately,
That matinee.
The curtain fell, and unattended
/ watched her as she tript along,
Until at last her figure blended
Far distant with the hurryng throRg.
ALPS done, but one regret still lingers--
We always know too late the way
think should have pressed her fingers
