A New JERSEY BOYS SURPRISE PARTY.
Mrs. H., who has a fine lawn in
Bergen county, says the New York
Sun, was surprised one pleasant Sep
tember afternoon to see it filed with
girls and boys bent on having a good
time. On questioning one of the
children, she was informed that the
whole school were especially invited by
Master Tom, her son, who promised
them loads of cake and fruit and foun-
tains of lemonade. Now as Mrs. H.
had never given permission for such a
bounteous entertainment, though will
ling to "stand treat" she surprised
poor Tom by ordering him Immediately
to bed, where he had the pleasure of
listening to the shouts of his COM
panions and the click of the glasses
through closed shutters, and has since
decided that as this was the Alpha it
shall also be the Omega of his surprise
parties.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. THE Texas
NeW Yorker says can old Scotch
physician once said to one of his pa
tients: Keep your feet warm, your
head cool, and your bowels open, an
there's little Else can harm ye. This
aphorism is full of wisdom, and ex-
presses exactly what DR.. WALKERS
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs will do
for you. We speak of what we know
from nearly two years practical expert
ence in the use of this indispensable
family medicine. It's office is to attack
lazy, torpid liver, and impart new life
to this vital organ-a proper flow of
bile and prompt discharge of effete
matter. A good digestion and appetite
are restored to the sufferer. Pure blood,
the life of the flesh, is secured, and
the patient soon feels himself a lUaiking
electrical battery. Good health is more
precious than fine gold-VINEGAR BIT
TIERS restores it, and is, therefore, above
price. The man who discovered it is a
philosopher and benefactor of his
race,-CO3n.
