another car came along anl they got on board but

TIE SICKNESS OF COMMISSIONER VAN MORT

Alarming rumors were prevalent throughout the
political circles Of the city yesterday that Commits
soner Van Mort had been suddenly siezed with
illness, caused by an attack Of congestion Of the
lungs, and that there was reason to believe that
the result would be fatal We are glad to be able to
state that In answer to inquiries at the Commits
sioners house late last evening, his physicians
report that Mr.. Van Mort is out of danger. At the
meeting of the Board of Audit on Saturday Mr.. Van
Mort took an active part, but was suffering from
the effects OF cold which he had taken at Albany
Late on Saturday evening the effects OF the
cold assumed very serious aspect and
five physicians were summoned The sickness Of
Commissioner Van Mort will probably continue for
some time, and until he IS convalescent the meet
ings OF the Board of Audit must be suspended mas
much IL requires the concurrent vote of all
the members for the transaction OF business.

An Appeal TO Reason.

Health would be much mere CAREFUL
guarded than it is at present, and the avery
age of human life heightened by many
years, If common sense and the light OF ex-
p~erience were accepted by the universal
public as their medical monitor and guide.
The true philosophy of health is simple. 1t
consists in retaining from indulgences and
~imprudences which impair the vital forces,
and in supplying any deficiency OF vital
power and constitutional vigor that may ex-
list, by invigorating aud alternative treatment.
To reinforce and regulate q feeble system,
and to prevent a more vigorous physique
from yielding to unhealthy and facilitating
influences, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
unquestionably the most potent of all vege-
table purifiers. As a stimulant, it is the
purest ever administered in medical prac-
tice; as a tonic and stomachic, the most in
fallible /; as an anti bilious agent, the safest
lating medicine, mild and painless, yet ire
sistible. Il is a protection against disease
of every kind, at all seasons, and Is par
ticularly eficacious as a means of forearm
ing the system against the ailments genera
ted by a raw, damp, ungenial atmosphere.
Hence its great value as q winter tonic and
invigorant. No n predispOsed to indlges-
ton, billiouSness, constipation, rheumatism
or nervous headache, should ever be with
out this Vital Elixir. As a certain class Of
country dealers are very anxious to dose
their customers with ''local bitters," of a
worthless or perniciOus character, which
they represent as equal or superior to the
great national tonic, the public is hereby
torewsTncd against their ''tricks Of trade"

Sometimes To him the roses yield,
Sometimes the lilies feed his eye;
Sometimes he takes delight in one,
Sometimes in all, sometimes in none.
But'when, in dUsky woodland ways,
He sees, beside some dreaming stone,
fne fresh, untutored Violet raise
Her pleading eyes for him alone.
Then makes his hesrt its final choice,
And Nature speaks In PASSIONS voice.
The stroller beauty's garden through,
By msny q Maynard impulse led,
sometimes is charmed by gold and blue,
Sometimes by brown and mantling red;
Sometimes proud dame and maiden small
Please just the same. or not at all.
But when, remote from pleasures whirl,
He sees, at homes sequesterea shrine,
The ardent, cheerful, guileless girl,
OF mortal mould, but soul divine
Toogood. too beautiful to know
How fair her worth and beauty shoT-
Then all his rowing fancies pause,
Entrsnced by this Overwhelming grace,

A sad tale comes from Selma. 1t appear:

A sad tale comes from Selma. It appears
that twelve young men of that city swore
off on New Years day 1871, and agreed to
deposit with one OF their number, on the
first day of each month, $40 each, the total
to be divided among the members of the as
sociatien who on the LIST Of January, 1872,
should prove to have been faithful to their
pledge. One by one the members backslid
and yielded to the liquid temptation, until
only a single individual was left, who at
noon on New Years day was to receive ST.
400. This Abdial. faithful found among the
faithless, proceeded to the rendezvous at the
appointed hour. He waited until ten min
utes after noon, and then thought he would
run into the saloon next door and get a nip.
He had just swallowed 1t when ten of the
other members entered to take their noon
day Angostura, and he found to his horror
that his watch was twenty minutes fast, and
the money was lost. The eleven, therefore,
proceeded to the residence of the Treasurer
and found that he had lost all the money
playing draw-poker with one OF the church
trustees. The sad occurrence has cast q
gloom over the whole community.

An old saying is, that Providence helps
those who help themselves; but many Of
the children Of this world help those who do
not help themselves. Ifa man OF woman
sets out to be taken care of, as tire lilies of
the fields are clothed, without his or her W
labor, ten to one but the undertaking will
be successful. If one member of n family
assumes an attitude of helpleisness, the rest
presently assent to it. Jane Is too delicate to
do this or that, SO Sophia does her task
and James also /; and nobody helps Sophia
or considers that she is doing more than is
right. And, as we are very apt to love best
those who cost US most sacrifices and self
deniaIs, ten to n the most helpless aud i'm
provident member of a family will be the
pet of all the others.

DURABILITY OF TEXTILE FABRICs.-WoOl
and silk are the most enduring of textile
fabrics. The first-named fibre gives evil
dence Of its superiority as an article of
clothing from the fact that 1t is almost indie
structible, and when from long service 1t Is
apparently worn out, its durability Ia once
more seen In q new form, as 1t comes from
the mills under the name of shoddy. Nor
is this name of reprOach entirely just; for,
are not carpets, druggets, mats, cloths,
blankets, and many other articles OF domes-
tic use made from it, ard does not Its con-
tinued use attest the fact that fer many pur-
poses it can be employed to answer well the
place of more expensive goods? The best
WOODS for service are very strong, elastic,
and soft to the touch. A variety of low
grade woods similar to the Scotch cheviot,
when of the right quality, will wear con-
stantly and look well for many months. and
In some cases have been known to look al
most as well as new at the end OF the sec
ond year. One popularity OF this wool Is
that IL takes the dye freely, and retains
something OF its original lus.re until 1t Is
wsrn out.
Cotton and fax arc liable TO n more
speedy destruction han other textile pro-
ducts, and may ultimately be reduced to a
mere wood fibre. Both Of these materials
when made into fabrics are frequently
greal ly. injured by the process Of bleaching,
and will stand very little use, even IL their
destruction is not greatly accelerated by the
further abuse OF the w~asherwoman, Un-
bleached cotton goods OF all descriptions
will outwear the bieached, and after . few
tines washing will look quite as well.
SILK fabrics are very enduring, particu-
larly velvet and plush, which often are In
use for years, and retain their excellence
and beauty until almost worn thread-bare.
A textile product is obtained from several
Illuminating animals in the mountain ranges
known as the Lsma, the Pace, the uanaco,
and the Vicugus. The fieeces are very fine,
l~ustrous, and long, and are remarkably
free from the attack of moths. The hbre
is peculiar, closely resembling the down Of
the Cashmere goat, and appears to hold an
intermediate position between wool and
hair. In texture il Is nearly as fine as silk,
besides being very durable. Fabrics made
of this textile are also said TO be water
proof.

-SsThen give him this," said the hSfd
voice; and q bit Of paper, folded trisngu-
larry, was thrust into the girls hand, whilst
hasty steps were heaRdFetreating.
The paper contained these mysterious
'If Captain Tfller will step round at

Ter, lighting his pipe.
"Why, what's it all about? ?" inquired his
bride, glancing somewhat suspiciously at
the two notes.
So the Captain told her.
"Humph - said Mrs. Seth Tiller and sat
thinking rather modify.
"You see," suggested her spouse, depre.
catingly. 81 hadn't an idea then that you'd
hev me-"
Mrs. Tiller was a sensible woman, and
she accepted the explanation without more
ado.
ssPlease, SIR" said the small maid, with
very big eyes, '.here's a boy come and
brought another letter."
"Let' see it," said Mrs. Seth, exercising
her matrimonial privilege. And she read
aloud the following, written on pink tinted
paper and sealed in an embossed envelope
"DEAR CAPTAIN TILLER-Been expecting
you round to-day. Hope no offense; as
you know when a woman's took by sur
prise she's obliged to say what she don't al
ways mean. I'm to home this evening,
from seven to ten. Truly yours,
MELISSA FULLER"
"WelI," said the Captain. running his
fingers through his hair, IF this don't beat
all! Rum critters, them wOmenl"
Sand bold enough, some of 'em joined In
Mrs. Tiller. ''To be making proposals to a

"Why, you see, they don't know yet that

Then, best let 'em know it at once. Sup
pose you accept all their invitations right
away, and take me along, by way of expla-
nation, you know"
The Captain chuckled with an inward
| appreciation of his BRIDES cleverness and
wit. He took her advice, and the pair made
| the round of bridal calls, much to their own
satisfaction, if not to that Of the recipients
hereof.
Mrs. Tyron sighed. Widow Fuller laughed
