"TO be weak is miserable"
Never was truer sentence written than
this-supposed to be wrung from the Arch
fend in his impotence and agony. Every
victim of nervous debility, or of that de-
pressing languor which is one of the &C
compartments Of dyspepsia and biliousness,
can testify to the misery of mind and body
which they involve. The motive power Of
the system is partially paralyzsd; the mind
is haunted by anxiety and fear; and the
sufferer Is as incapable Of applying himself
theoretically to any kind of business as if
he were under the benunoing influence of
catalepsy. This terrible mental and physi-
cal condition need not, however, be en-
dured for forty eight hours by any human
being. Plantation Bitters Is an absolute
specific for all the torments which de-
ranged stomach, disordered liver, and
shattered nerves superinduce.

being able to petition a quarter OF cell

The Fateful Hour.

Medical experience proves, that, in chronic
diseases, the greater number OF deaths occur
Just before dawn. This is eminenty true Of
brain Diseases and OF all those related cases
where death results from an exhaustion Of
the vital power, through overwork, excessive
excitement, or nervous prostration. Ii is at
the hour OF five O'Clock in the morning that
the iie-force is at its lowest ebb, and sue.
cumbs most readily to the assault Of epilepsy,
or paralysis, or of the fatal lethargy that
comes in those wildly beautiful picture-
dreams, for which medical science has as yet
found no name, and Of which it has taken no
sufficient cognizance. Nine-tenths Of those
who die 10 this way expire in their sleep. In
many such cases, ii friend were at hand to
wakeu the sleeper when the attack comes on,
or if he were to be awakened by some acci-
dental noise he might, by the use of few
simple precautions, prolong his life for many
years for the shock which proves fatal to
the man wrapped in deepsleep, when the sys-
TEN is passive and relaxed, would be victo-
riousy repelled were il armed with all its
waking energies. Men who do brain-work,
aud who are on the shady side OF forty, should
be on their guard against this insidioas enemy.
They should beware of five O'Clock, A. NJ, for
it is perilous hour. Do you find yourself
unable to sleep, when you retro for the night,
exhausted with your days work ? Do you,
in vain, turn from one side to tho other
Does your brain persist in working when you
would fain have il rest Do old saws, and
scraps Of rhyme, repeat themselves 10 your
memory with wearisome iteration. defvlng
your utmost efforts to silence them? Then,
say 10 you, bewarel You will be sure to
sleep at last, 1t is only question Of time

Success a Duty.

hold it to be prime obligation resting
on every man TO succeed, up to the fullest
measure Of that success which is possible to
him 10 life. Success is not only pleasant, it
is duty. Look at man along whatever
range Of faculties, and you will see in the
perfect equipment Of capacity, in the pres
ence of every energy, the obligation to suc-
ceed In the wings of a bird you sec the
Maker has suggested flight in the build of a
Dog and horse, speed; in the OK, strength.
Aud so through all the grades Of life, God,
IN the organization, in the capacities be-
slowed, has pointed out the mode and result
Of life. But in man this is most observable.
Look at yourself, my friend, your faculties,
in your eudowments by nature, and see in
the liberal, had almost said, nay, | will say,
in the superabundant resources of your or
ganzation, the suggestion, yea, the command
Of your Maker. All the elements and means
necessary to success in any branch Of worthy
industry ia any line of noble ambition, are
in you. A young man has no right to fail in
life. 1t may not be his duty to succeed in
the direction and to the extent that his am
0ition may suggest; for ignorance may mis-
direct and vanity exaggerate; but it is his
duty TO succeed in the direction and to that
extent, in which his natural capacities point
aud make possible Society is full of fall
urcs that need never have been made full Of
men who have never succeeded, when they
might have, and should have succeeded ; full
of women, who, in the first half Of their days
did nothing but eat, drink and simper, and in
the last half have done nothing but repent
their follies aud weaknesses. The world is
full, say of such people full Of men, in
every trade or profession, who do not do any
thing, and of girls and women, without any
trade or profession, who have no desire to
amount to anything; and do not speak ir-
revereutly, and | trust not without charity,
without making due allowance for the inevi-
table in life, when | say that God and
thoughtful men are weary Of their presence.
