an amount of business hitherto not dreamed
of in all this region, which has till recently
been thirty miles from rail. AS in Vermont
so in Maine, the territory opened by this rail-
road is virgin country, full of resources, but
heretofore without access to the world. Both
in Vermont and Maine the road must COM
mand great local business, and indeed no
other railroad in this State ever made so
large earnings in the corresponding early pc
riod of its operation.
This region is replete with ancient memo
ries. 1t was here the Pequaket Indians war
red with unparalleled desperation for their
hunting grounds and their cornfelds. 1t was
here, on deep shaded inlet of LovewelPs
pond, that Chamberlain and Pangus stood
confronted, and with cool lsng drawn cour-
age washed out their guns and loaded, life or
death hanging upon the duration of a powder
flask. 1t was here, by great rock deep in
the woods, that poor Moll Locket, the last of
her people, breathed forth her life. 1t was
here that Daniel Webster made proof of his
industry and patience by continuance in that
most irksome of all service, copying legal doc
uments and pages. His work is still to be
seen in the little stone office of the registry of
deeds. 1t was within sight of this village that
the Indian chief, ChocorIa. pent in by the
armed bands of the palefaces, hurled himself
to death down the sloping precipices of the
mountain that since bears his name The
Portland and Ogdensburg railroad once OPEN
ed from Casco bay to Lake Champlain,
through the ''Noteh' of the White Mount
aims and the Green Mountains, through the
"Willey Glen' and over the ''WalGen
Heights" by Lake Sebago and the spas of
Sheldon and Highgate, will inevitably be the
great tourist route of the country.

The critics are searching their dictionaries
in vain for the word ''spate." which occurs
in the third line of Tennyson's last Arthurian
idyl 'Gareth and Lynette,' as follows:
"The last tall son of Lot and Bellicent
And tallest, Gareth, in showerful spriug
Stared at the spate.'
Although not to be found in Webster or
Worcester, ''spate" is good old Saxon word
still in use in all the lowland dialects of Scot
land. 1t means the sudden flooding of a
stream caused by heavy rain.

Atmospheric Diseases. -The air. without
which no creature could live. is the source OF
diseases of which millions die. At this sea-
son. especially, the atmosphere is full of the
germs Of many kinds Of sickness. Every
globule of the mist and fog which cloud the
earth and sky in spring holds in solution its
portion Of miasmatic poison.
The evil effects of this erial virus can only
be certainly averted by increasing the vital
activity of the system and securing the full
and free exercise of all its natural functions,
and hence it is, that Hostettsr's Stomach Bit
tiers. the great nerve strengthener. regulator
and antidote to malaria, is imperatiyely re-
quired in the spring months.
1t is at this time. too. that Dyspepsia as
sumes its most distressing types, and that
persons of bilious habit usually suffer most.
There is an influence in the air which de-
presses the spirits as well as the physical en-
ergies, and in order to restore their elasticity
tonic treatment Is absolutely necessary.
All the world knows that the wonderful
efficacy of Hostetter's Bitters in cases Of indi-
gestion. biliousness, nervous prostration and
malarious fever is due to the potency of its
tonic. Alternative and aperient materials, and
the absolutely pure stimulant with which
they are incorporated. 49,,
It is because the public have been taught by
twenty years experience that the article can
be implicitly trusted-inasmuch as it performs
uniformly and certainly all that il is adver-
tised to do-that they prefer this sovereign
tonic to every other. Hence its immense and
ever-increasing sales, and hence. too, alas (!
the many counterfeits and limitations. against
which there Is no safeguard except the close
scrutiny of the purchaser.
