ADDING Poison TO PoIsoN.-There is
no disease in which the blood is not
more or less impregnated with un-
wholesome matter, and the direct, inev-
liable effect of all preparations contain
ing spirituous excitants to increase the
volume of poison in the veins, and there
by aggravste and prolong the malady.
Hence it is that dyspepsia, bilious fever,
cholera morbus, lung plants, gout,
dropsy, rheumatism nervous disorders,
and cases of general and local debility,
originally mild in type, are frequently
rendered chronic and dangerous by dos
ing the sufferers with the alcoholic bit
ters advertised as medicinal stimulants.
As counterblast to the canards put
forth by the proprietors of those perni-
cious compounds, the plain, honest,
| philosophical statements of DIR. Joseph
Walker, relative to the nature and effects
Of his CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs,
are doing world of good. He has
opened the eyes of the public to the
important fact that pure vegetable
tonic and Alternative. unpolluted by al
cohol, if not an absolute specific for
every variety of disease, is the nearest
approach to it yet attained. His VINE
GAR BITTERs are unquestionably work
ing such wonders in affections of the
stomach, bowels, nervous and muscular
systems, and the glands and respiratory
| organs.

re- olutely commenced, and forty-nine
persons were rescued, as if by miracle,
from the jaws of death After the cap
tain and crew had satisfied themselves
that no more passengers survived i'll the
water, Captain Johnston did all in his
power to make comfortable those who
had SO unexpectedly become his guests
To one of the passengers he told the
following curious incident. He said he
was forced by the wind to sail little
out of his course, but upon altering it a
small bird flew across the ship once or
twice, and then darted in his face. At
first he took no notice of this circum-
stance, when the same thing occurred
again, which caused him to regard the
circumstance as something extraordina-
ry, and while thinking on it in this way,
the mysterious bird for the third time
appeared, and went through the same
extraordinary man9uvre. Upon this"
said the Captain, e. was induced to al
ter my course into the original one
which L had been steering, and in a
short time afterward l heard strange
noises, and on trying to discover from
whence they proceeded, L found that l
was in the midst of people who had been
shipwrecked."

CrOquet Considered as a Moral Force.

Henry Ward Beecher says clergymen
ought to play croquet, tor the sake of
the exercise 1t affords-but there is
Northwestern Methodist who is troubled
in his conscience, and accordingly ap-
plies for relief to the editor of the
Northeastern AdrOcate, who replies with
I" first" secondly" and thirdly !" and
isn't quite certain whether croquet is a
wicked pastime or not. But the New
York Methodist gallantly comes to the
rescue, thus: ave would recommend
our brother editor of the Northwest to
send all inquirers, with their troubled
consciences, to Martha's Vineyard camp
meeting, where, since the above enact
ment of the General Conference, and
with a bishop on the ground, there is
scarcely an aisle or avenue, fit for the
purpose, in which parties of croquet are
not in full blast from breakfast to
supper"
