A narrow log lay as bridge over q
deep ravine From the opposite ends
of the log, at the same moment, there
started to cross it a big Newfoundland
. dog and little italian greyhound dog;
of course they met in the middle; of
course there was not room for them to
pass, neither could they go back. The
hight was dangerous one for the grey
hound, and to the water at the bottom
he was extremely ayerse. The New
foandIand could have taken the leap in
safety, but evidently did not want to.

AassItuae and DEBILITY.

The relaxation of nervous energy which creates an
indisposition to mental physical effort, so strong
almost to amount to positive inability and which
we term lassitude proceeds from variety of causes
The principal of these are constitutional debility,
heat of the atmosphere coupled with humidity eli
matte changes and the physical prostration conse-
quent upon long illness. But whatever the cause,
it must be perfectly clear that if the nervous system
is unduy relaxed, something is required to brace it
up. That something is Hosteter's Bitters which is
universally recognized the most complete and
speedy recuperant Of the physical forces in existence
1t has been so thoroughly and widely demonstrated
as to be matter of positive certainty and familiar
knowledge, that the Bitters will not only rehabitate
the physique when shattered and wasted by disease
but will also if taken SYSTEMATICALLY actually compen-
safe the constituonally feeble frame for its def
cheney in strength and by infusing new life into
weak system, endow it with the health and yigor
which nature has denied it. The Bitters also enable
the body to resist the enervang influences of heat
humidity and changes from temperate to hot eli
mate It is on these accounts specially to be recon-
mended to travellers and residents in the torrid zone
and persons subjected to abrupt transitions in tenn
perature.

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common
that it is almost impossible for an editor to ex-
press his honest OPINION of the merits of any
article without being suspected Of interested
motives. This fact. however, shall not deter
us from saying what we think Of a new addi-
ton to the Matera Medica to which our atten-
ton has been recently directed. We refer to
DR.J. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BrTTERs,
a remedy which is making its way into more
families just now than all the other advertised
medicines put together. It's popularity, as far
as we can judge, is not based on empty pre-
tention. There seems to be no question about
the potency of its tonic and Alternative proper
ties, while it possesses the great negative
recommendation of con tanning neither alcohol
nor mineral poison. That it is a specific for
Indigestion, Bilhousness, Constipation, and
many complaints of nervous origin, we have
reason to know; and we are assured on good
authority that as general invigorant. -regu-
lating and purifying medicine, it has no equal.
1t liz stated that its Ingredients, obtained from
the wilds of California;, are new to the medi-
cal world; and its extraordinary effects Ger
tainly warrant the conclusion that it is a COM
pound of agents hitherto unknown. If popu-
Iarity is any criterion, there can be no doubt
of the efficiency of the VINEGAR B1rTERs, for
the sale of the article is immense and continu-
ally increasing. Com.

Tomorrow.

To-day can sing Of yesterday,
Songs tender, tinct with sorrow;
But mute she comes along the way
All beautiful Tomorrow
Her face is full of prophecies
Her lips have still withholden,
md gazing in her radient eyes
Song turns to silence golden.
Hope rapt beside her pathway stands,
Asks nothing but the vision,
And turns at night with empty hands,
Still dreaming of fruition.
All, beauty! soon as present, gone,
Most feet and most beguiIing;
Why are our hearts forever drawn
By that strange, far OF smiling?
WHY'S it that from new delays
New faith they still can borrow?
Oh, is it that among the days
Comes Heavens first good morrow?
She will come in with no alarms,
Under this same low portal,
And clasps us as in mortal arms,
And we shall turn immortal

New BuiIGino, Material

The latest invented building material
is marbleized glass. It is said to
require the closest examination to
detect it from genuine marble. It can
be made plain, white, or variegated, to
suit any taste or requirement., and it is
claimed that for ornamental house
fronts, floors or pavements, this mar.
bleized glass is superior to marble il
durability. It viii maintainits colors

on this invention has been taken out

Parsley for sheen.

A correspondence of the Toronto Globe
reports a farmer as saying:
[ SOW parsley all through my grass
land, and never lay down my land to
clover il. the spring but L SOW parsley
with it. 1t is the best food for sheep
there is, keeps them healthy, and fat
tens them with wonderful rapidity.
Of course [ don't SOW enough to smoth-
er the grass: but [ take care there is
some all through it, a the sheep will
find it out, and never leave bit of it if
they can help it. The COWS and cattle
are also cry fond of it, but it is the
fittest for sheep, as it does them most
good. The only thing to be guarded
against is to keep the breeding ew S
f1om getting too much. They fatten
so fast that 1t stops them from breeding
which is of course a loss. But I am
careful to keep the breeding ewes off it
as much as [ can. It does well for
lambs, however, and for wethers and
fattening ewes nothing is equal to it.
[ find that it does better than grain. It
also produces heavy feeces of wool.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.

A Canadian farmer says, although
while beans are of no value for fatten-
ing stock yet they are the best things
that can be fed to young animals, as
they contain the necessary materials for
making bone and muscle For young
colt, enc pint of beans and oats crush
ed together, will be found much better
than oats alone. A neighbor of mine,
a few years ago, fed his store ewes with
a regular allowance of beans and peas
crushed, during the winter, and, as a
consequence, the next spring never lost
a lamb. They were so strong that they
were on their feet and tried to suck al
most as soon as they were dropped.

Ex-President ROye, of the Liberian Re-
~ ze-s public. (

A London telegraph states that the
mail steamer from the west coast of
Africa brought the intelligence that
e. J. Roye, ex-President of the Liber-
ian Republic, was drowned in the har-
Dor of MonroYia, while indeayoring to
swim to the steamer iust before her de-
parture for Liverpool. He had been
imprisoned for illegal acts committed
while in office, had escaped, and was
endeavoring to leave the country when
he lost his life. Mr.. Roye, who was of
the colored race, was born in Ohio, in
1915. He received a fair educar
ton, and engaged In mer-
camille pursuits. About 30
wears ago he emigrated to Liberia,
where he soon became one of the
wealthiest citizens. He was elected to
the Liberian House Of Representatives,
and served as Speaker III 1849, and
held the Office of Chief Justice from
1865 to 1868. He was elected President
in 1869, and entered upon his duties
January 3, 1870. During his term of
office the people of Liberia voted upon
changing the Presidential term from
two to four years. This measure was
defeated, and a Presidential election
was held last year, resulting III the Sc
lection of President Roberts. Mr.
Roye, however, refused to recognize
this election, and attempted to remain
in power. He thus infringed upon the
laws, and was condemned to the I'M
prisonment which he tried to avoid.

PNTs AND QUARTS of filthy Catarrhal

from? The mucous membrane lining
the chambers OF the nose, and it's little
glands, are diseased so that they draw
from the blood it's liquid, and exposure
to the air changes it to corruption. This
life-liquid was to build up the system,
but it is extracted and the system is
