Guard Your Health and Life.

How inconsistent is human nature. Men
carry revolvers to protect themselves against
rufians in well-policed cities, where. the
precautiOn is unnecessary, often neglect to
fOrtlfy their systems against disease In the
most unhealthy seasons. Thousands of dys-
peptics and other invalids are now anguish
ing in sick rooms, OF feebly and listlessly
moving through our streets, who owe their
fOrlOrn condition solely to q want of COM
mon prudence. Far more ininlical than the
roughS and rowdies. against whose possible
attacks the timid arm themselves, are the
morbid elements that p"rvade the atmos-
phere at this time Of the year, and yet a.
though 1t is an undenifd and undeniahle fact
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters affjrd a
| more perfect protection against these causes
Of disease, than any weapon of Offense can
afford against lawiess violence, the reckless
and incOnsiderate continue to brave the dam
ger with a positive safeguard within their
reach.
Every day, however, the number of these
martyrs to their own want of forecast d.
minishes. Each succeeding season demon
strates ore clearly the inestimable value
Ofthe BitterS. both as an antidOte for the
cause of disease, and a specific for its con-
sequences. The miasma which generates
periodic disorders, rhumatism, liver COM
plain, irregularity of the bowels and other
physical disturbances, produces no effect
whatever upon systems toned, strengthen
ed and regulated by this powerful vegeta-
BILE medicine and dyspepsia, nervous debil-
ity, constipation, intermittent and remittent
fevers. biliouSness, and in fact nearly all the
maladies which the Bitters, if taken in time,
would prevent, are cured by the persevering
use of the great remedy.
The genuine Bitters, sold in bottles only,
and never by the barrel, Ike sfOr gallon, as
is represented by some unprincipled deal

Repairing 6Ye n

There was a duel at Berne between a
woman and a man, but the woman conquer
ed" says an old chronicle under date of l2SS.
This kind of duel was common enough
among the TeutOnic races. Nor could it
have been very unsuitable; that is, accepting
the Empress Elizabeth and the Duchess
Cymburga as fair specimens of the German
women in those ages-the ladies we have
named being beauties, either Of whom could
crush a horseshoe out of all shape between
her fingers. Breaches of promise and SIM
liar disputes were decided by duel in medI-
4val Germany, a faithless swain or Grant
husband having to meet his indignant VIC
tim hand to hand in the lists. In the ap-
proved form Of this duel, the dame was re-
duced to her chemise. Ore of its sleeves

ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY!
BY ALICE CARY.

The boy who does a stroke and stops
Will meier great mar be,
Ills the aggregate of single drops
That makes the sea the sea.
The mountain was not at its birth
A mountain, SO to speak,
The little atoms of sand and earth
Have made its peak q peak.
Not all at once the morning streams
The gold above the gray,
IT'S thousand little yellow CLEANS
That makes the day the day.
Not from the snowdrift May awakes
In puppies, reds and greens,
Springs whole bright retinue 1t takes
To make her queen of queens.
Upon the orchard rain must fall,
And soak from branch to root,
And blossoms bloom and fade wIth.l,
Before the fruit is fruit.
The farmer needs must eow and till,
And wait the wheaten bread,
Then cradle, thresh and go to mill,
Before the bread is bread.
Swift heels may get the early shout,
But spite of all the din,
1t is the patient holding out
That makes the winner win.
Make this your motto, then, at start,
Twill help to smooth the way,
And steady up both hand and heart
