Valuable Hints.

A regular habit of body is absolute
II essential to physical health and
clearness of intellect. Nor is this all.
Beauty Of person cannot co-exist with
an Immature! condition Of tile bowels.
A free passage Of the refuse matter Of
the system through these natural waste
pipes, is as necessary to the purity Of
the body as the free passage Of the
offal Of d city through it's sewers, is
necessary to the health of its inhabi-
tants. ~
Indigestion is the primary cause Of
most Of the diseases of Che discharging
organs, and one of its most common
results is constipation. This COM
plant, besides being dangerous in it
self, has many disagreeable Concomi-
tants-such as all unpleasant breath,
sallow skin, communicating blood and
bile, hemorrhoids, headache, loss of
memory, and general debility.
HostetteE's Stomach Bitters remove
all these evils by removing their i'm
mediate cause in the digestive organs,
and regulating the action of the intes-
tines. The combination Of properties
in tha celebrated preparation is one OF
its chief merits. 1t is not merely q
stimulant or a tonic, or an anti-bilious
agent, or a nervine, or q blood depur-
ent, or a cathartic, but all these cura-
tive elements judiciously blended iii
one powerful restorative. It lends ac-
tivity and vigor to the inert and cner-
waited stomach, relieves the ailmentary
canal Of its distractions, and gives
tone. to the membrane which lines it,
gently stimulates the liver, braces tho
nerves, and cheers the animal spirits.
No other remedy possesses such a VA
riety Of hygienic virtues. It is to
these characteristic virtues THAT it owes
its prestige as q household medicine.
Experience has proved that it is as
harmless as it is efficacious, and hence
it is as popular with tic weaker sex as
with the stronger,

THEY TELL ME THOU ART FALSE.

They tell me thou art faithiess,
That thou art false to every VOW;
That those lovely eyes are watching
For another's coming now;
That the gentle heart You gave me
In the sunny days of yore,
Throbs no longer for the absent
1t is mine-they say no more.
Oh, how fondly I've been dreaming,
All these lonely hours of you,
Of the time when homeward turning
l would find thee pure and true.
Oh, how vivid comes the memory
OF the spot beneath the hill,
Where so oft we've stood together
In the evening calm and still;
Oh, how painful is remembrance
In an anguished hour like this,
And start as fancy presses
On my brow again thy kiss;
Yet be gay, be bright, unheeding,
Joys and splendor are thine own,
Whilst wrecked heart so sadly gropetll
In the darkness, dread and lone;
Yet when shadows shroud thy pathway
And thy glorious dream has fled,
Tho thou'rt false to melville living,
Thou will weep when l am dead.

INDICTMENT AND ARREST OF wIEGEL

Spoons, Coat OF Mail and Other Malig-
nant Stories Concerning General Butler.
Immediately after the withdrawal Of the Tilden

States Circuit Court against General B. F. Butler,
United States District Attorney Davis obtained an
Indictment Of Mr.. W. H. Wiegel by the Grand Jury
for perjury. The readers of the HERALD will re-
member that Wiegel-who was for short time
star officer Of General Butler's-was the principal
witness upon whom the plaintiffs In the above suit
relied, and that during his testimony positively
swore to transactions as having taken place in
General Buffers Office and In his (Wieges)
presence at a time when 1t was clearly
proved that Wiegel was In close confinement

from which he was released only by the acceptance
of his resignation Wegel also swore that he had

in the above suit. When the fact was shown by the
production OF q cOrrespondence-of which such
letters OF Wiege's as were fit for publication ap-
peared in the HERALD-that Wiegel had been living
upon General Buffers charity, and having taken
offence at the Generals refusal to press claim of his
(Wieges) before the Board of Managers Of the
United States National Military Asylum, he wrote
General Butler threatening letters unfit to be read
papers with the scurrous attacks, of which the
spoon, coat OF mail and steamer Nassau stories
are sample. Wiegel was arrested yesterday in
