SPECIAL NOTICES.

m-AGGRAvATED INDIGESTION
Persons who are predisposed to dyspepsia, find
their sufferings from this cause greatly aggra-
waited by damp weather, easterly winds and sud-
den changes from mild to chilling atmos-
phere In the spring, therefore, the pangs OF
indigestion are seriously augmented ny the at,
mospheric variations peculiar to the season, and
it is incumbent upon all who desire TO pass
through the ordeal of its cold mists and insau-
brious gales with easy stomachs, and untormcnt-
ed by the indescl liable torments which accom-
paDy dyspepsia, to tone and strengthen the dl-
gestive organs with healthful and effective
vegetable invigorant; and no one at all familiar
with the medical record of the age, can question
for one moment that Hostetter 5 Stomach Bltters
is the Tonic best adapted to this purpose.
The credentials of the Great kestoratives are
uneuualcd in number and character by those OF
any other advertised medicine in the world. Ii
ever there was preparation to rank as Ma
tional Remedy, this wonderful specific has a fair
claim to the title. For period of twenty years
it has literally been the Champion Tonic and
Alternative on this side of the Atlantic. In pop
uarity it has never been approached by any OF
its would-be competitors, and its annual sales
are so far in advance Of those of any other medi-
cine of its class, that comparisons would be RI
dcuous One of two conclusions is inevitable
Either the American people are deficient in
common sense, and incapable Of rational dis
elimination, or Hostetter's Btters is the best
preventive remedy for indigestion, fever and
ague, bilious remittent fever, constipation, rheu-
matism, nervous complaints and all maladies Of
an epidemic or endemic type. The reader will
Judge for himself which of the two conclusions
is most consistent with fact and reason. fcb26

strength Of Will aud strength Of Mind.

A very clear illustration of the distinc-
ton between strength of will and strength
of mind was once given by a gay young
fellow who probably had never read page
of metaphysics in his life. This young
gentleman, whose friends called him Bob
for shortness, was of an exceedingly nerv-
Gus temperament, and any unusual indul-
gence in wine was sure to leave him in n
shaky and unhappy condition. Bob had
a consequential acquaintance named Waf-
files, who was gifted with the absorbing
qualities of q sponge, and who, although
in the habit of drinking much more freely
than Bob, was never known to exhibit
any signs of inebriety.
One morning Waffles called upon his
friend, whom he found seated on the stool
of repentance, with wet towel bound
round his head, and several empty soda
bottles by his side; and shocked at the
sight, he began to moraliZe.
$50 you were tight again last night,
ell ~ said Waffies "Now, why don't you
do as l do? When / have drunk enough
l stop. You should have more strength of
mind, and initiate me-"
Strength of mind ~ snarled Bob, who,
nervous and irritable, had very little dis
position to submit to Il temperance lecture
from such q source; "what the deuce has
strength of mind to do with it? Strength
of will, you mean"
"Well," quoth Waffies, ''what is the diff
ference ?'
"rn tell you the difference" retorted
Bob vindictively "Brutes have no mind
mt all, but jackass has more strength of
will than any being that breathes."

4 Remarkable Set.

Old farmer Cuff was one morning tug
Cling away with all his mightand main at
barrel of apples which he was endeavoring
to get up the cellar stairs and calling at the
top of his lungs for one of the boys to lend
him hand but in vain. When he had,
after an infinite amount of sweating and
snuffing, accomplished the task, and just
when they were not needed, of course, the
"boys' made their appearance.
Where have you been, and what have
you been about, I'd like TO know, that you
could not hear me call?" inquired the far
mer, in an angry tone, and he addressed
the eldest.
'Out in the shop, settin' the saw" re-
piled the youth.
"And you Dick ?n
'Out in the barn, settin' the old hen"
"Aud you, sir ?''
up in Granny's room settin' the
clock"
"And you, young man?'
up in the garnet settin' the mouse
trap
"And now Master Fred, where were you
and what were you settin' ?" asked the OLD
farmer of the youngest progeny, the as
perity of his temper somewhat softened by
this amusing category of answers. Come
let's hear"
"Out on the door step, settin' stillp re-
piled the young hopeful, seriously.
IA remarkable set, / must confess" adj
ded the amused sire, dispensing the grin
ming group with II wave of his hand.

The knights Of Pythias.

From the address of A. S. Willis, Esq.
delivered at Louisville, KY, on the Sth
hist, we extract the following, as his ac-
count of the objects of the order:
The cause is to be found in the principles
it inculcates and the objects which it has
in view. These objects have been, as far
as was proper, given to the public, and are
very familiar to every member of the or
der. 1t teaches the purest morality, and
this it does by ritual and emblems, SO
beautiful and impressive that they cannot
be easily forgotten. 1t breaks down the
artificial barriers of society. 1t obliterates
party lines, destroys sectarian exclusive
ness, and unites all mankind into one
common brotherhood. Under its benign
influence Jew and Gentle kneel side by
side and offer up their prayers to the one
Father of all. 1t unites men of every
cline and country into one body; it lifts
us far up into the pure atm osphere where
friendships flourish, where unreserved
confidence holds sway.
1t aids the distressed; it soothes the I'M
happy; it sympathizes with the unfortu-
nate; it compassionates and relieves their
troubled minds; it pours into the wound
of suffering humanity, good Samaritan
like, the sacred balm of consolation. 1t
smootlfs the pillow of death; it wipes away
the widows tears and stills the orphans
cries. In word, it makes all mankind
one family, casting over all its members
the spell of kindness, of social affection
and of useful philanthropy, and teaching
them to dwell together as a band of broth
ers in peace, confidence and unity.

Lone Widow Underground.

The other day, on the Middetown,
Railway, / sat next to a little, long-nosed
man with red whiskers. Opposite to us
sat middle-aged lady in black. The
little man stared at her very hard, fidget-
ed good deal and opened up converse
ton.
'In mourning, main, see.n
"Eh? Yes" Spoken rather sharply
"Sad thing that. One of the old peo-
pie fNp perhaps ?''
zone of the young ones? Baby, ell ?"
II have no babies"
"Of course not. The guvner-husband,
you known
YES" Very sharply.)
MOI
"Ah! lingering business; that's worse,
sometimes. In trade was he? ~
HE was sailor.n
Caught a fever, perhaps?"
HE was drowned"
After pause
"Save his chest ?n
MY husbands effects were not lost"
Religious sort of man, was he?n
"Yes, he was"
"Glad of that. Suppose you are glad the
chest wasn't lost ?n
II suppose So"
After another pause
soon ?i''
The lady made no reply to this, but got
Dut at the next station.
The little, long-nosed han looked rounC
as though in search of another victim. A
last he fixed on me.
"Got hat-band OH L see."
Yes; put it on because my hat was
shabby"
After brief interval
Would you feel inclined to swap YOU
umbrella for my walking stick and five
shillings? ?"
/ felt that the time had come for decisive
action. / struck the miscreant dead at my
feet, and stepped out upon the platform.

more of him since.-JUdy.
