Lost Health Regaincd.

SeIf-neglect lays the foundation of much bodily
suffering. As rue men are more solicitous to re-
pair and preserve their houses stock in trade and
other pershable property, than TO repair and pre-
serve themselves. They see when a wall re-
quiIes a prop, a weak structure a Sirder, but
appear to be unconscious of, or Indifferent to, the
cracks and flaws and evidences of decay in their
own frai and sensitive organizations.
The consequence of this want of common pru-
dence is that thousands fall by the wayside in the
prime of life every year, who might have lived to
enjoy hale and hearty old age if they had resorted
to the proper means of recruiting their falling vigor
at the proper time.
Seeing what that famous vitalizng and invigora-
ting elixir Hostetter's Stomach Bittsrs, has done
for countless multtudes of the enervated and bro
ken down, and with the long, unbroken record Of
its cures before him, IL seems amazing that any
sufferer from premature decay, nervous weakness
dyspepsia biOusness, chrbnic constipation, dis
ease of a remittent intermittent character, should
delay, even for an hour, TO seek the aid which Its
toning, regulating and invigoratins properties
have never failed to afford.
1t is no exaggcration to say that Hoststte,'s Stom
ach Bers is the most faithful ally OF nature IN her
struggles with weakness and disease, that medical
botany and honest chemistry have yet given to the
wOIld.-Cb m.

How General Amnesty was Defeated.

The Washington Patriot explains how
general amnesty was defeated as fol
lows:
Tho second session of the Forty-sec-
ond Congress has come to close, but
without the passage of bill for general
amnesty. This great measure for the
paciiication of the country was choked
off in the last hours of the session by
Speaker Blaine. We understand that
during the last three days of the session
he persistently refused to recognize Mr.
Acker, of Pennsylvania, who had pre-
pared a bill for the "removal of politi-
cal disabilities, and to grant general
amnesty" to all political offenders in
connection with the late war, and which
he desired to bring before the House
The Speaker knew this, and hence his
arbitrary course in undertaking to pre-
vent the bill from being brought before
the House for action. \ more high
handed exercise of one-man power has
probably never occurred in the annals
of legislation
Early in the session bill of a similar
nature came within a few votes of the
necessary two-thirds in the House, and
the Speaker then left the chair, and it
is stated, used his personal influence
with some of the Radical members, to
vote against it, and it failed by few
votes. Could the bill have come before
the House the probabilities are that il
would have secured the necessary two
thirds vote and thus have been passed
by the House. But to Speaker Blaine
belongs the credit of defeating this great
measure in the late session of Congress
by arbitrary one-man power. Let the
country know it.

Mr.. Greeley is one of the American
institutions that the New York Nation,
like Lord Dundreary, ''never can I'M
stand" 1t absurdly ignores or dwarfs
his abilities, it gross misr presents his
Character, 1T cXaggerates his weakness
es and vices, putting them at the front
of all, and, under the alarm at the mon
strous eiligy it has created, it flies back
into the camp of General Grant and
pledges him support for reelection
Now General Grant stands as the dis
tinct representative of nearly every
thing which the Nation has been oppo-
sing most strenuously in political affairs
for the last two or three years, while
Mr.. Greeley,--s We in some of his per-
sonal characteristics, stands for near
ly everything which the Nation has been
advocating for sometime. That paper
has therefore put itself in the false and
singularly weak position of ''going back
on ITSELF because of its dislike to Mr..
Greeley personally. 1t owed more than
this to its aims and reputation. II
might have felt justified in Withholding
its advocacy of Mr.. Greeley's nomina-
ton, but We do not see how he could af-
ford to lend its support to Grant Men
are something, indeed, but principles
are more. And wdile the Nations DO.
sition is certainly damage to Mr.. Gree.
ley, its advocacy of General Grant is q
blow to itself.

drink moderately, and ON the alternate
days eat and drink sparingly. 2. Every

ately, and on alternate days, as before,
eat aud drink spartnGly. B. Every other
day eat and drink largely, and on the
alternate days do both sparingly. The
results of the experiments will show
that in each case the alternate days
when the stomach is least burdened the
comfort is greatest and less discomfort
is experienced but what shall be
done to quench the thirst in the hot
days?' Drink only little at time. If
