UndevelOped VigOr.

The feeble and debilitated usually fancy
they are in more hopeless condition than
they really are, The resources of nature
are not easily exhausted. Even when
strength and appetite fail, when the eyes
are heavy and lustreless, the complexion
pallid. the nerves tremulous, the body at
tenuated, and the mind depressed, there is
generalsy a reserve of latent power behind
such palpable evidences Of weakness. Va
rious modes of treatment are resorted to by
physicians in the hope Of developing and
rendering available this store of sleeping
vitality, but the surest, and indeed the only
thoroughly safe and reliable means of awake
ming the dormant energies of system is
course of HOstetter's Stomach Bitters.
Electricity, shower baths, the flesh brush,
sea bathing, sc may be we'll enough in
their way, as auxiliaries. but they do not
reach the source of the evil. All physical
debility proceeds either from aderangement
of the functions of the assimilating secre-
tive and vital organs, or from a sluggish
constitution. In either case, and also in
cases where both causes exist, the Bitters
will invariably produce an immediate and
salutary change in the condition of the
patient, and eventually effect a complete
cure None of the dangerous alkaloids, too
often administered as tonics, can be other
wise than deleterious under ouch circum-
STAGES. and to give mercury is positively
criminal. The direct effect of the great
vegetable specific will be manifested in an
improved appetite. more cheerful frame of
mind n gradual return of strength, an in
crease CT flesh and healthier complexion.
Meanwhile, however, the constitution, if
inert and feeble, will have been reused and
renovated by the subtitle elements Of in
vigoration contained in the Bitters.

Omcns neutrality-suspicious..


Many OF the superstitions regarding
marriage are very interesting. The
cutting of the wedding cake into
strips, and passing it through the we'd
ding ring to induce prophetic dreams,
is almost universal. In those parts of
England where wheat is STAPLE; it is
poured over the head of bride; in
other parts the ring is put first on the
thumb "in the name of the father"
then on the first finger, ''in the name
of the Son. on the second 'in the
name of the Holy Ghost" and the
Amen" leaves it on the finger where
it is destined lin all ordinary cases. to
remain till death; for nothing is CON
sidered more unlucky than to remove
it, either of choice or necessity.
In dressing the bride, she must put
on
''SomethinG old and something new,
Something borrowed and something blue;"
and in undressing her all the pins
must be THROWN away or lost. If the
bride changes her name, but not her
letter, she is in danger of making u
change for the worse instead OF the
better.
Superstitions as old as Ovid warn
lovers against marrying in May, and
the DAYS of the week are-also said to
have considerable influence. Wednes-
day is 1.-The best day of all" Saturday
the worst, Thursday entails "looses."
Friday Crosses" Monday t.widow-
hood" Tuesday changes" Most
people in the north of Europe marry
with a growing moon, and that the
weather be propitiOus is OF universal
significance.

Feasting is general accompaniment
of the marriage ceremony, but in the
Isle of Man quarter of century ago,
l very frequently, at marriage feasts.
saw a table set outside the house for
the fairies, or to propitiate any evil IL
fluence lurking near.
OnIens regarding the moon are OF all
others the most ancient, and analogous
to this | have noticed in the English |
farmer and the Texas planter the same
dislike to sewing crop with a wan
ing moon. The Mexican stock raiser |
will only brand his cattle at the new |
moon, and the negro woman will on |
ly make soap at the same fortunate !
time, In all parts of England it is
still customary to say atfull moon, ut
is fair moOn-God help you J" and |
in Scotland to kiss the hand and cour-
tesy to her. These customs are evil
IDENTIFY alluded to in Job, xxxi-36 81.
To see the new moon when there is
money in your pocket, or to see her
first over tie right shoulder is a sign
of prosperity during the month but
to see it over the left shoulder or when
the purse is empty, is considered UNI
lucky. The latter omen is so self-evI-
dent, that it cannot be disputed.
The superstitions referring to per
sonal matters are very curious. To
put inadvertently the left shoe on the
right foot was ominious of some stran-
gely unlucky accident; and the same
was considered partially true in regard
to any portion of the clothing put on
wrong side out but the latter could
in some degree be remedied by tur-
ming the garments right. The loss of

FALLEN,

Colo. j. Foote johnson of Bedford
has formally gone into the Republi-
can party. His reasons are that the
adoption of Greeley committed us to
RepublicauiSm, and the action of the
Richmond Convention confirmed that
committal by withdrawing opposition
and diScavowing hostility to Grant. -
Yet he declares that to support the
President he must go to the radicals.
Rather specious, that sort of pleading!
From careful study of his letter to
his old friend Button of the Lynch
burg ViyyiRidR we find disclosed as
a true reason for this step the fact that
he has failed to obtain a position in
Congress, and now seeks a federal
appointment In fact he confesses
that he applied for the position of
District Attorney vacated by Colo.
Hughes. Ambition! Ambition BY
that sin fell the angels, and by it
Foote johnson has fallen to the sup.
port of the Lynchburg ticket! One
by one the federal patronage is cap
tiyating the weak and tempted peo>
pie Of the Sonth. Colo. Johnson has |
but bowed 10 the President. He well
knows that Colo. Hughes cannot be
elected. But his defeat will be held
I'D 20 the President as but the bruises
which will cape and stare for the
balm of federal Office. According to
his own statement. il it were Othero
wise. he could remain where he has
been and still support the principles

Columbus Anticipation.

Interesting relics of the early
discovery of America occasionally
turn up. AT late meeting of the
Mexican geographical society Mr..
Bliss stated that some brass tables
had been lately discovered in the
northern part of Brazil, and not far
from the coast, Which careful exams
nation had shown were covered
with PhGnician inscription, telling
of the discovery of America five
before Christ. The tab
lets had been acquitted by the
Museum of Rio Janero, with whose
director he was personally acquain-
ted, aud the connection of the gentle
man with the discovery of the tab
let's was itself guarantee Of the

scriptions, so far as yet deciphered,
relate that, from port on the Red
sea, a Sidonian fleet sailed, and,
following the east coast Of Africa,
doubled the cape, thence following
the African west coast, probably
with the southeast trade winds of
the southern latitudes, until the
nOtheast trades, preventing further
progress nOrthward, forced the
prows Of the vessels across the broad
Atlantic. At any rate, according
Q Mr.. Bliss, the tables record the
fact of the Phenician fleet having
reached the Americas five centuries
before Christ, at some point now
known as northern Brazil; that the
tablets five the number of vessels,
the number of the crews, the name
of Sidou as their home, and indeed
various very interesting particulars.
Mr.. Bliss has promised, when he
acquires further particulars, tohand
them over to the society.
