LIVING ADVERTISEMENT.

A medicine that has done more than
all the prescriptions of the pharmacopeia
to protect the human system against the
bodily ills superinduced by unhealthy
surroundings, is certainly worthy Of uni
versal confidence. 1t is mainly on ac-
count Of its extraordinary preventive
properties that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters is SO exceedingly popular in localities
subject to the visitation of miasmatic fe-
vers and other diseases produced by en-
poisoned air. A family that has escaped
sickness during sickly season in conse-
quence of using the Bitters as a safeguard
is living advertisement of the virtues of
the preparation. The whole neighbor-
hood realize the fact. I" couldn't have
believed it," says one. :" scarcely cred
tied the advertisements ; but one must
believe what one SEES" says another
1t is the very thing we need in this un
wholesome section of country" remarks
a third. And the result is that the in
stinct of self defence, the first law of ma
ture, induces three-tourths of that COM
munity to obtain a supply Of the great
vegetab BILE antidote before the next sickly
season sets in. In winter, when the sys-
tenn requires extra vigor and elasticity to
enable it to battle the effects of damp and
cold, the Bitters will be found particular
ly serviceable. Rheumatism will not be
apt to fasten upon muscles and nerves
that haye been braced up by this excel
lent invigorant and nervine nor will the
seventies of the season, which have such
disastrous effect on the pulmonary or
gans of the feeble and delicate, be likely
to exercise the same untoward influences
in cases where the stomach and the ex-
ternal surface of the body (Which always
sympathizes with the digestive organs(.
have been toned and stimulated by
course of this restorative. The fits of IN
digestion and Irregularities of the bowels
which proceed from sudden changes of
weather may always be averted by a
timely use of the Bitters.

A CArrooRrcAL CArAsrRopHE.-Itis

A CATEGORICAL CATAsTRoPHE.-Itis is
one of the sorrows of feline maternity
that the demand for cats is never equal to
the supply, consequently, in these dull
times, when dancing parties are so few
that the demand for cat-gut is limited,
the progeny of pussy is destined, soon
after birth, 70 go the way of all cats, be-
fore the eyes of the progeny aforesaid are
opened upon this world and its iniquities.
Therefore, when a pussy owned by a
family in Junction City Township became
the mother Of litter of kittens, a due
regard for economy, combined with a
knowledge that one cat was ample for all
the business which would come in its
line, caused the pater fomitids to send
forth the fiat for the " slaughter Of the
innocents." One kitten was reserved from
the fate of its kindred, to comfort the
maternal feline heart and play with the
maternal feline tail In the due course
of feline events, the destruction of the re-
naming kitten was resolved upon, and
the big brother was directed to do the
terrible deed. Armed with the trusty
rifle which in other lands would have
been the protection of the family against
the savages of the forest, he marched
forth to the work of destruction. In the
door-yard cat and kitten were sleeping
with tranquil enjoyment in the SOFT warm
rays of the Autumn sunlight. The "big
brother" paused. 1t was no part of his
plan to capture kitty and bear her away
to some secluded spot, followed by the old
cat, yawling. He had heard of William
Tell of how he had fearlessly shot the
apple from the head of his son and of
Daniel Boone, who, when old age had set
its signet on his brow and dimmed his
vision, whitened the sights of his gun and
picked the head off squirrel at a hundred
yards. With these illustrious examples
of craftsmanship in his mind's-eye, he
leveled his rife at the kitten, and pumped
the old cat. Then there was wailing in
the little female olive branches of that
family, with whom Pussy had ever been
a tavorite. But Pussy did not go down
to her grave "unwept, unhonored and
unsung." An empty raisin box furnished
coffin, pussy was laid silently away and
little head board, inscribed with the
initials of the bereaved ones, tells of her
sad fate in these words
Here lies our Pussy cat,
She'll never catch another rat.
Good-by Pussy"
