WOMAN.


Every man Of sense and rehne-
ment admires a woman as a woman,
and when she steps out of this char
acter, thousand things that in their
appropriate sphere would be admir-
ed, become disgusting and offensive.
The appropriate character of a wo
man demands delicacy of appear
ance and banners, refinement Of
sentiment, gentleness of speech,
modesty in feeling and action, a
shrinking from notoriety and public
gaze, aversion to all that is coarse
and rude, and an instructive abhor-
renee of all that tends to indelicacy
and impurity, either 10 principle or
action. These are traits which are
always admired and sought for in
woman.

WHAT SOME Men DRINK. Here
is a gratifying item for our moder-
ate drinkers and bar room frequent
ers. Distillers now have a way of
making spirits from street garbage.
This repulsive matter is placed ia
water-tight watts and boiled for sew
eral hours; the grease is then care
fully skinned off for soap making
purposes, and the remaining mass is
fermented and distilled. The refuse
is used as manure. 1t is stated that
barrel of garbage yields three
pounds of soap grease and four gal
Ions of proof spirits.

BE DONG SOMETHING.-Ihere
are not few persons in the world
who pretend to be anxious to accom-
plish something, but are constantly
bemoaning their lack Of opportunity.
The best thing for such people, and
in fact for everybody, is to deter
mine to accomplish something useful
and benefcent every day. Without
work there is little progress. The
sum of many days intelligent work
will not be inconsiderable. Do not
hesitate too long. Go to work at
the thing which lies nearest your
hand. Sydney Smith very wisely
said: "a great deal of talent is lost
to the world for the want of little
courage.

A FEW days since one of our at
torneys called upon another member
of the profession, and asked his opin
ion upon a certain point of law
The lawyer to whom the question
was addressed drew himself up and
said, 81 generally get paid for tell
ing what know" The questioner
drew half dollar fractional" from
his pocket, handed it to the other,
and coolly remarked, "Tell me all
you know, and give me the change"
There is GOODNESS between the par
ties now.

THE way SHE CURED HIM.

entered the gin-shop.

olute wife. ''To me there is no com
pany like yours, and as you canno,
come to me, | must come to you
have a right to share your pleasures
as we'll as your sorrows"
"But to come to such place 40
this |" cxpostulated Tom.
"No place can be improper where
NV husband is" said poor Mary,
"Whom God hath joined together
| let no man put asunder."
She took up the glass of spirits
which the barman had just poured
out for her husband.
"Surely you are not going to drink
that ~ said Tom, in huge aston'Sh
ment.
"Why not 7 You say that you
drink to forget sorrow, and surely
have sorrow to forget"
"Woman woman you are not
going to give that stuff to the enid
rem /" cried Tom, as she was passing
the glass of liquor to them.
"Why notg Can children have a
better example than their fathers
Is not what Is good for him good for
them also? 1t will put them to sleep,
and they will forget they are cold and
hungry. Drink, my, children this
is fire, and bed, and food, and clothing
Drink you see how much good
it does your father"
With seeming reluctance Mary
suffered her husband to lead her home
and that night he prayed long and
fervently that God would help him
to break an evil habit, aud keep a
newly-formed, but firm resolution.
His reformation was, by Gods
grace, thorough aud Mrs. True sdall

pleasure the first and last visit to

EFFECTS OF FEAR

it is a common practice IN many
parts of India to oblige persons ous-
pected of crimes to chew dry rice IN
presence of the officers of the law.
Curious as it may appear such Is The
intense influence of fear on the
salivary glands, that, if they are ac>
tually guilty, there is no secretion
of saliva in the mouth, and chewing
is impossible. Such culpritS gener-
ally confess without any further
efforts. On the contrary, con
seriousness of innocence allows Il
proper flow of fluid to soften the
rice.
Many of our readers are familiar
with the case of the thief to whom,
in common with other suspected
persons, a stick of n certain length
was given, with the assurance that
the stick of the thief would grow by
supernatural power, The culprit
imagining that his stick had actually
increased in length, broke off piece
and was thus detected.
A similar anecdote is told of
farmer who detected depredati ons
on his coal bin by calling his men
together and making them mix up
quantity of feathers in a sieve, as
surfing them at the same time that
the feathers would infalibly stick to
tho hair of the thief. After a short
time one of the men raised his hand
repeatedly to his head, and thus be-
trayed himself.

ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS DAM
AGES FOR PUTTING UP WRONG MED
ICINES.-The Louisville Ledger says :
An interesting case on trial in
the j efferson Court OF Common Pleas
is decided by a suit brought to re-
cover damages from druggist who,
in compromising a prescription, put
up the wrong drug. The decision
establishes the fact that druggists
are responsible fer the mistakes of
incompetent clerks. The facts in
the case are as follows; One year
year ago Mr.. John :. Kline, Of this
city, was seriously afflicted with
hemorrhoid, commonly called piles.
DIR. Gait, his physician, prescribed
an ointment composed principally OF
a narcotic that would |
have had the effect of soothing the
irritated parts and to allay the pain.
The prescription was taken to the
drug store of S. f. DAVIS, and the
clerk, VIM. Ross, made the ointment
of carrharides, an active irritant, in
stead of stramonium. The ointment
was applied as directed, and the
scene that followed may be better
imogfned than described. Mr.. X.
suffered untold anguish and as soon
as he was able to get about brought
suit for damages, and the jury as
sessed the at 81 900

This week Mr.. Chadwick again met
Mr.. w. and said: "Why, this Gree

back to oppose the war or fight in the
interests of malignant passions and con-

Northern politicians in the South, and

A Wholesome Stimulant, That is
Absolutely puFe.


Physicians throughout the world agree
as to the necessity Of difEusive stimulants
in medical practice, but complain, and
with good reason, of the impossibility Of
obtaining them pure. The difficulty here
presented would be q serious one indeed,
II me class Of agents was limited to the
adulterated liquors and wines Of trade.
1t vantshes, however, when the absolute
purity and extraordinary restorative
properties Of Hostetter's Bitters are taken
into consideration. AS n stimulant the
article is absolutely free from everything
Objectionable but this is only one OF its
recommendations. If 1t were nothing
more than an eXcitant its effects would be
fleeing. 1tmight refresh and revive the
system for few minutes, but could not
produce no permanent benefit. The
stimulating elements OF the Bitters Is q
means, not an end. The tonic, anti.
bilious, depurativc and aperiert vegetable
jnires combined in the preparation are the
agents that impart vigor and regularity to
the weakened and disordered organiza.
ton, the spirituous principle being chiefly
useful in diffusing their influence through
the system and otherwise facilitating
their operation. Alcohol, even in its
purest form, is not so much a medicine as
q ,motiye power, by which thespecifcs oil
the vegetable kingdom may be brought to
bear upon the debilitatcd and disordered
organs that require .renovating and regu-
lating; and 1t is in this way that the pure
essence of rye incorporated in Hostetter's
Bitters increases the efficiency Of the
purely medical ingredients. cod&w
