Help the Torpid Organs

When the body is in state of health,
food taken into the stomach acts on
the bowels Us q stimulant, causing
that worrn-like motion by which their
contents are expelled. The liver being
in natural condition, the flow of bile
(Which is a mild cathartic) into the in
testines is ample and regular, and
hence the discharges are easy and suf-
ficiently frequent. The reverse of all
this constitutes costiveness, and the
only true method of cure is 20 restore
the functional activity of the two i'm
portant organs which use the bowels
as sewer for the egress OF waste mat
ter. For this purpose Hostetter's
Stomach Ritters can be confidentially
recommended as the most effective of
all medicines. 1t is not too mnch to
say that chronic constipation would be
unknown if the Bitters were in univer-
sal use as remedy in the earlier
stages of the complaint. At this period
of the year, when dyspepsia with all
its kindred disorders is SO apt to be
engendered and aggravated by the
dampness Of the atmosphere, this I'M
equaled stimulant, tonic and Alternative
should be taken daily. Nv.

Perhaps hundred millions go to
Europe, France and Germany for ex-

twice as much more to the West to

Our agricultural implenentsa are nearly
all made abroad. How much goes to
Cincinnati for whiskey? How much
to Tennessee and other States for
guano, hay, dressed poultry, pork and
Bologna sausage? Why cannot our
farmers raise poultry, and why not our
butchers make as 6 cd sausage as Ten
nessee or any other State ? Thus IN
thousands of ways ourprofits areborne
away, and we are left without money,
completely at the mercy of those upoa
whom we are dependent. 1t is time
our people were rejecting seriously

attention to ways and means topreven'
the outflow of money from our midst
Let us encourage home production il
every possible way, for only by sc
doing can we hope to regain our for

The Boston Post calls attention to
the dangerous, centralizing tendencies
OF the Republican party under tho re-
gime, as demonstrated in the fact that
the national administration assumes
to regulate the currency. it seeks to
manage the telegraph, it earnestly de-
slres to undertake the banking OF the
nation and now there comes a special
notification from Washington that
Congress will consider tie scheme of
loanlng currency from the National
Treasury to individuals on mortgages
of real estate. 1t - not unreasonable
to suppose that a government capable
of all this can at will establish national
shoe-shops, iron mills, cotton factories,
and bakeries, or build canals and rail-
roads at public expense FOR the pur-
pose of supplying work and wages" =
Ii the business men of the nation who
warmed this serpent into life are
stuns by it at last, it will be but histo
ry repeating itself. Those who live by
class legislation, die by it at last.

Romance of Crime.

ten o'clock girl named Maggie Jour

At 1890 clock a woman, calling
herself the wife Of Yves. Allen, was ad-
mitted for the same purpose, aud on
attempting to come out, two hours az

to have lost the pass it would have
been necessary for her to give up be-
fore stepping outside. Meanwhile, at

fore the other woman attempted to DO

people. Mrs. Aliens attempt to go
out without pass was the occasion $50

awakened and of search being made.
1t was then that Sharkey's cell was

Mr.. Merrimon wanted vote, to see

| Of the knee that theft may follow fawn-
ing" as had been frequently and aptly
quoted by the presiding officer. The

be respected !; and it was q source of
congratulation that the State had an
Attorney General bold enough to ex-
press his opinion, though it conf1icted

Mr.. Murphy did not like any one of
the propositions submitted-he spoke
as a non-professiOnal. If there was
any principle involved, the matter of
time should be ignored and the Ques-
tion at once settled. He desired to
know if this was an APPELLATE case.
Mr.. Flemming replied that it was in

of hnbens corpus, or in the event of a
disagreement of the circuit court

CHRISTMAS GEMS.

The first song ever composed IN Eng
land was Christmas carol in Anglo-NOr-
man French.
The first tragedy in the language, and
one of the Oldest comedies, were both
brought out as a part of the Christmas
festivities of the period.
The Savior had not where to lay His
head, but His Scriptures are translated
into a thousand languages, and the grand
est structures of the modern world are
the home of His Church, and the temple
of His worship.
Christmas is each year more generally
observed in New England, where it was
one prescribed by law, and before anoth-
er generation it is probable that most OF
the religious denominations there will OBJ
serve the anniversary by public religious
exercises.
The beautiful spirit of bcnefcence has
endeared Christmas Day to the poor and
the young. What a joyous time it bring:
to the heart of childhood! And how pleas
ant it must be to truly generous nature
to participate in the usual felicities Of
| the holiday season and to observe the ex
ultation OF the young at the tokens of af
lection they received
| There is very curious custom observ
ed by the Greek Church throughout Rus
STA. 1t is the baptism at Christmas o.
the patron-saint. Each village and each
city has its particular patron. In large
towns the ceremony is performed by {

UNSPOKEN WORDS.

The kindly words that rise within the he irt,
And thrill it with their sympathetic tone,
But die ere spoken. fail To play their part,
And claim a merit that is not their own.
The kindly word, unspok n. is sin
sin that wraps itself in purest guise.
And tells the heart that, doubling, looks
That not in speech, but thought, the vir-
tue lies.
But it's not so; another heart msy thirst
For thar kind word, as Hagar in the wild
Poor. banished Hagar prayed well might
From out the sand to save her parching
child.
And loving ewes that cannot see the mind
Will watch the expected movement of the
lip;
All! can We let its cutting silence wind
Around that heart and seattle it like a
whip!
Unspoken words, like treasures In the mine,
Are valueless until we give them birth;
Like unbound gold, their hidden beauties
shine,
Which God has made to gid and bless the
earth.
How sad 'twould be to SEE masters hand
Strike glorious notes upon yoiceless
Lutte
But oh! what pain when at Gods own COM
a heart-string thrills with kindness-but
is mute.
Then hide Il not, the music of the soul,
Dear sympathy, expressed with kindly
voice.
But let it like = shining river roll
To deserts dry-tO hearts that would re-
joice.
Oh! let the sympathy of kindly words
Sound for the poor, the friendless, and the
weak.
And He will bless you-He who struck
these chords
Will strike another when in turn you
seek.

WHY WOMEN MARRY.

/ Some close observer ofsocial relations. hav-
( ing looked about among his married female
ACC ualntances, ventures "a give the following
list, with an attempt 10 indicate the reasons
which influence many to marry:
MARRYING FOR HOME.
Number one has married for a home.
She got tired Of working in a factory, or
teaching school She thought married life
on earth was but moonlight walks, buggy
rides, new bonnets, and nothing 10 do
Wen, she has got her home; whether or not
she ia tired Of the incumbraBce. this de-
Ponent saith not, inasmuch as this deponent
does not now possibly know.
CONSULTING FAMILY INTEREST.
Number two married because she had sew
en- young sisters and a papa with narrow
income. She consulted the interests of her
family. Prehaps she had better have con
suited her own interests by taking i'm light
washing or going out by day TO work
SHE LIKED THE SOUND OF MRS.
Number three married because Mrs. sound
Ell so much better than Miss. She was
twenty-nine years and eleven months old
and another month would have transformed
her into regular old maid. Think how aw-
full that would have been
WANTED SOMEBODY To PAY HER BILLS.
Number four married because she wanted
somebody to pay her bills. Her husband
married her for precisely the same reason, ~
they are both repenting at leisure.
NOT GOING To BE LEFT BEHIND.
Number five married because she was poor
and wanted riches. She never counted on all
the other things that were inseparable from
those coveted riches
SHE LIKED To TRAVEL.
Number six married because she thought
she would like to travel. But Mr.. Number
Six changed his mind aftcrwRrd, and all the
travelling she has done has been between the
well and the back kitchen door.
MARRYING OUT or SPITE
Number seven married out ofspite because
her first love had taken 10 himself a second
love. This piece of retaliation might have
done her good At the time, but in tho long
run number seven found it did not pay.
WANTED SYMPATHY.
Number eight married because she had read
novels and wanted sympathy" Sympathy
is fine thing, but it cools down at n rapid
rate if the domestic kettle is not kept boiling,
and the domestic turkey is done. Novels
and housekeeping don't run very well togeth
er in harness, to use n sporting term, and
number eights supply of sympathy didn't
hold out very long.
MARRIED FOR LOVE.
Number nine married because she loved
her husband with all her heart and soul
And she loves him still and will probably
continue 70 love him and is the happiest
wife in the world-so she SAYS.
We have all the right motive at last--a
motive which, when sanctioned by desire
and resolution TO improve and elevate each
other, and TO live true and holy lives before
God, cannot fail to call down the blessings Of
Heaven. But sad is the fate Of those who
marry from wrong motives, 70 escape their
share of LIES work, or get something for
which they have nothing to give in return.
