Iassitude and Debility.

The relaxation of nervous energy which creates
an indisposition to physical or mental effort, so
strong as almost to amount to positive inability,
and which we term lassitude, proceeds from va
riety of causes. The principal of these are const
tutioual debility, heat Of the atmosphere coupled
with humidity, climatic changes, and the ply steal
prostraton consequent upon long illness. hut
whatever the cause, 1t must be perfectly clear that
if the nervous system is unduly relaxed, something
is required brace it up. That something Is Hos
letters Bitters which is universally recognized as
the most complete and speedy recqperant OF the
physical forces In existence. 1t has been so
thoroughly and widely demonstrated as to be a
matter ofpositive certainty and familiar knowledge,
that the Bitters will not only rehabilitate the phys.
iqae, When shattered and wasted by disease, but
will also, II taken systematically, actually compen-
safe the constutionaly feeble frame for its deii-
cheney of strength, and by nhlsing new life into a
weak system, endOw it with the health and vgor
which Nature has denied it. The Bitters also en-
able the body to resist the enervating Influences of
. heat humidity, and changes from u temperate TO II
hot climate 1t is on these accounts specially to be
recommended to travellers and residents in the tor

The Free Library Question.

1t is well for those who start new enter
prises, to be well acquainted with the history
of similar efforts, especially those purporting
| to benefit the people.
If this new Library Association follow out
their present plan, of charging Ave dollars
for years membership, l fear they will share
| the fate of some who have preceded them.
Twenty-Five years ago or more, in the then
small village of Lewiston Falls, few persons
stated library on exactly the same basis that
is now proposed to found one here. Not one in
thirty OF the middle class Of the people became
members even for one year, and have heard
| them reason in this way: Give dollars
year, and its interest, will in short time buy
nice little library all my own"
We never knew how much commission
Harper & Brothers allowed the wire-pullers
in this enterprise; but one thing we do know;
that after few years absence, we returned
and sought after the library and found it in
an ante room of lawyers Office; the whole
number Of books not exceeding those in the
Circulating Library of this city. We were
told that the library was dead.
While in Rockland we were hunting after
books and found dying library, started by
the principal founder of the Lewiston Libra
ry, and this had had a very small list of
members, although they had lowered the price
of membership to three dollars year.
In Gardiner there are two very excellent
Libraries, both Of them we'll patronized, and
you will find the mechanics there better read
than in any other city in the State. The
yearly membership of the largest library is
and always has been only one dollar year.
Their rooms have been so crowded evenings
that the ladies were obliged to take their
books during the day.
Persons are never very willing to give five
dollars "to promote an established fact"
As for the donations of books, how many
garrets do you suppose would yield up their
contents for the furnishing of said library?

that was the cause of all his woes. He con-
