The Vital Drain.

1t is necessary to the health of the body that its
exhausted and refused particles should be carried
off by the excretory organs, and it IS equally nee
essary that the waste matter thus expelled should
be replaced by new elements derived from digest
ed and assimilated food 1t is evident, therefore,
that good digestion and perfect assimilation are
essential to bodily vigor; and it is because Hostel

whose opinions are founded on observation, as the
only absolute specific for dyspepsia and its attend

from constitutional causes, overwork excess, anx
lety actual disease, is in unnaturally relaxed
condition, something more than its exhausted par
ticles passes through the pores. Vitality leaks
through these ventages. Elements which should
remain in the blood and enrich it evolved, and
that fluid becomes then watery and incapable of
removing the solids of the body fast as they de-
cay. The consequences are emaciation, debility,
nervousness, loss of spirits, and general, per-
haps rapid, decline of all powers of life 1t is in
cases like this that the restorative properties of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are most conspicuous
The first two or three doses sometimes produces

lishment is managed is worthy of note. The
SAFEGUARDS FOR THE PREVENTION OF FIRE
Are numerous. Under the main building is
an enormous cistern, and on every floor are
placed racks of buckets filled with water,
which are every evening taken down and
placed on the floor in different parts Of the
building. But the most ingenious feature of
the entire economy of the establishment is In
the management of the watchman system.
The night watchman is armed with an instru.
ment called Buerks watchmans clock, which
he has to carry around with him, and which
is itself a triumph of mechanical art 1t has
six keys which are locked up in little boxes
placed in different portions Of the premises
and the watch is run in such way that the
watchman has to visit each one Of these sta
ton boxes once every thirty minutes during
the night. Should he miss round the dial
of the clock tells the tale in the morning, and
the sleeper is fined. So perfect is the mechan'
ism of this instrument that by no possibility
can the watchman evade his duty without de-
lection, and the station boxes being placed in
such positions as to carry him through the
entire premises once every half hour, the pro-
lection to the place against fire is as complete
as it can be made by human contrivance.

ness that is increasing daily.

ssTHE MASTER HAS COME OVER JORDAN

BY JULIA GILL.
"The Master has come over Jordan"
Said Hannah, the mother, one day;
"He is healing the people who throhg Him
With touch of His finger, they say;
And now shall carry the children,
Little Rachel and Samuel and John,
And dear little Esther the baby,
For the Master to look upon."
The father then looked at her kindly,
And said, as he tenderly smiled,
"Now who but fond loving mother
Would think of project so wild?
If the children were tortured by demons,
Or dying with fever, t'were well;
Or had they the taint fthe leper,
Like many around us who DWELL
"Nay, nay, do not hinder me, Nathan,
I.feel such burden of care;
And if to the Master tell it,
That burden He'll help me to bear;
If He lay but His hands on the children,
NV heart will be lighter know,
Fora blessing forever and ever,
Will follow them each as they CO."
So over the mountain of Judah,
Along with the vines all so green,
With Esther asleep on her bosom,
And Rachel her brother between;
With the people who hung on His teaching,
Or waited His touch or His word;
Through the throng fproud Pharisees fastening
She pressed to the feet ofthe Lord.
NOW why ShouldSt thou hlnQer the MaSter,
Said Peter, "with children like these?
Thou knowest from morn until evening,
He is teaching and healing disease"
Said Jesus, "Forbid not the children,
Permit them to come unto me-"
Then He took in His arms little Esther
And Rachel He sat on His knee.
The care stricken heart of the mother
Was lifted all sorrow above;
His hands kindly laid on the children,
He blest them with holiest love;
And said of the babe on His bosom,
"Ofsuch is the Kingdom of Heaven"
Then strength for all duty and trial,
That hour to her spirit was given.
