Natural Decay---Protect the system.

The human body is a machine, and tn erefore can
not endure forever; but, like watch or asewing
machine, 1t will last much longer If properly regu-
lated and duly repaired, than IL no pains were
taken to keep 1t in order The great object ofevery
one who desires a long and healthy life should be
10 put mis- body in a condition to resist the life
threatening influences by which we are all more or
less surrounded; and no invigorant or corrective
at present known SO effectively answers this pur-
nose as tho vitalizing elixir which, under the un-
pretending name Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
has been for more than twenty years the standard
tonic of America. In crowded cities, where the
atmosphere is contaminated with the emuvla in
separable from large populations; In marshy
regions, where the soggy soil reeks with miasma
on the prsres and in the forests, where every fall
the air is tainted with exhalations from rotting
weeds and grasses, or decomposing leaves-in
short in every locality where malaria exists, this
powerful vegetable antidote is urgently needed.
Fever and ague, bilious fevers, dysentery, comics
tiun Of the liver iaundice, rheumatism, and all
diseases which are generated by infected air, i'm
pure water, or suddcn changes Of temperature,
NAV be averted by strengthening the system in
advance with Hostetter's Bitters. Autumn Is al
ways season Of peril, especially to weak suscept-
ible organizations. Even the more vigorous are
art TO be in some measure depressed by the hunlu
atmosphere, loaded with deleterious gases pro-
the wear when the renovation and regulation OF tine
living machine is peculiarly important ana tno
Bitters should therefore be taken daily at TINS
critical season.

A Day at Home.

Once in while there is day in Dan;
bury when a man is out of work, andhe
stays at home. After breakfast is eaten
and the dishes are removed, he pulls
out the family drawer, and dumps the
contents on the table, to look for a pa
per of suddenly acquired Importance.
Having got chair which has lost leg,
and for that reason has been set aside
where nobody will be apt to get into
trouble with it, he drops into it, and it
Immediately comes apart, and deposits
him under the table. He jumps to his
feet at once, and kicks the chair into
the hallway to the imminent danger of
his wife, and the woman who lives in
the other part of the house, both of
whom being under the impression that
one of the children had fallen from the
mantel-piece, and broken its back, have
started to the rescue. He Immediately
asks his wife what kind of an idiot she
is to leave broken chair where any one
can sit down on it and ieopardize life
and limb, and sarcastically inquiries if
she wanted to kill him, or merely Grip
pie him for life, and scouts with scorn
indescribable the intimation that the
chair was placed where no sane party
would ever think of looking for one.
After that he gets q new chair which he
is confident will throw him and hurt
him, and says so, and pores over the
paper again.
Pretty soon he is attended by one OF
the children who is making herculean
efforts to scale one of the table legs
with view to getting on top to see
what is going on. AS the little round
head, with the swelling cheeks, and
bulging eyes, and tumbled hair, and
very dirty mouth, appears above the
top, and beams up at him, he nervous
ly cries, Hey, you, now come out o
that and start after your mother she
wants you" But the child knows tina
its mother doesn't want him, and Sc
does he, and being at q loss to explain
why, he falls to work at the papers
again. In little while, one very club
by arm is thrown on top of the table
and the eyes have reached the level
and are taking in the wonders OF th'
display. There is another move up
then q sudden weakness in the legs tina
are tightly hugged to the. tables legs
then a desperate but hopeless clutch a
the papers for safety, and the httl
head disappears with lightning velocity
and then an omnious bump, and then
scream, and the miserable man is on hi
feet again, holding the suffering chill
wrong side up and screaming for help
The moment it is in its mothers arms
and the camphor is in reach, the man
who stays home because he has nothin
to do, puts on his coat and hat, an
beats hasty retreat, leaving the wifi
to calm the distracted breast of tn
child, and to set the table to rights
When he has another day to himself
he dumps out the drawer again, an
goes over similar performance.

The InrlneibIe School Marin.

Ladies travelling through Canada by
rail are often greatly annoyed by hav-
ing their luggage unnecessarily search
ed, but one of the officials recently got
his deserts. 1t happened that Yankee
school-teacher, ON her way from Kansas
to Vermont, passed through the Domin-
ion, with trunk packed to bursting
with nothing contraband. When the
officer demanded her key she begged
him not to open it, assuring him that
it had come through from Kansas, con-
tanned simply clothes and books, and
was SO full that it would be very trouble
some to repack it. But he sternly de.
manded the key, and ma. ciously pulled
everything out to the very bottom ;
then-fnding her assertions true-he
returned the key and advised her to
"hurry up and get the traps back, as
the train would soon move. "What is
that to me- ?" said the quick-witted
woman 4" I have a check for that trunk
and hold the Grand Trunk Railway re-
sponsible for its safe delivery. L viii
not take the key, and you may do as yor
please with the trunk" Report say
that official was very weary and red il
the face and rather profane ere n
finished packing that trunk.

How to Act,

In the rare case of witnessing an in
dividual whose clothing is on fire, it is
well to know just how to act, that by
promptitude and presence of mind the
sufferer may be saved from terrible
death. Make no outcry, if you can
avoid it, but seize blanket or any
woolen fabric-if none is at hand take
any woolen material-hold the corners
as far apart as you can, stretch them
out higher than your head, and running
boldly to the person, make motion OF
clasping in the arms, mostly about the
shoulders. This instantly smothers the
fire and saves the face. The next in
stant throw the person on the floor.
This is an additional safety to the face
and breath, and any remnant of flame
can be put out more quickly. The next
instant immerse the burnt part in cold
water, and all pain will cease at once
with the rapidity of lightning. Next
get some -four, remove from the water
and cover the burnt parts with an inch
in thickness of flour; if possible, put
the patient in bed, and do all that il
possible to soothe until the physician
arrives. Let the -four remain until i
falls off itself, when q beautiful ney
skin can be found. Unless the burn
are deep, no other applications ar
needed. The dry -four for burns is tn
most reliable remedy ever proposed, ant
the information ought to be imparte'
to all.

A Rats Love for a Child,

There is in Whitehall village, says
the Times, family who have a little
daughter, two years and half old, who
has formed singular attachment for a
rat. Every day this little one goes into
the wood-shed adjoining the house,
where a large, venerable-looking rat
makes its appearance, when the inno-
cent looking child proceeds to feed it
from her chubby hand. The parents
have caught their little one feeding its
protege several times of late, yet on
the approach of any other than the lit
tie girl the rat scampers off to its hole.
Several efforts have been made by the
child's parents to dispatch the singular
companion of their darling, for it was
feared that the child may get bitten by
it. Last Sunday the rat showed its
affection and guardian care of the little
ones comfort, as the following will
show: The child's mother put it tc
sleep in the cradle in the kitchen, going
to another room in the house, leaving
the sleeping child alone. She was
gone some time. On her return she
cast her eye at the child, when she wal
surprised to observe the rat standing
perched upon the top of the cradle
moving its tail over the little sleeper
The mother, wishing is see what tn,
"varmint was up to, stood and watch
ed its movements, deeping through tn,
door, which was only partly opened
She observed a number of flies abov
the child's face, when two lit on the lii
tie one, whereat the kind rat whiske
them off with it's tail. Wishing to max
sure, the lady quietly called her hus
band, and the two stood watching th
proceedings for at least ten minutes
Every time fly dared to alight on tn
little ones face that old rats friendl
tail would brush it away, like the qua
dian angel lowering about us, who, W
believe, is constantly brushing ava
dangers that threaten us poor mortal
1t was thought safe by the child's p
rents to leave the child in charge of i
: singular nurse, and for one hour the Ii
tie one slept. When it awoke its m

Digestion and Paradise.

All talk of blessings! What a bless
ing is digestion! To digest! Do you
know what it means ? 1t is to have the
sun always shining and the shade al
ways ready for you. 1t is to be met
with smiles, and to be greeted with
kisses. 1t is to hear sweet sounds, to
sleep with sweet dreams, to be touched
ever with soft, cool hands. 1t is to be
in Paradise. Adam and Eve were in
Paradise. Why? Their digestion was
good. Ali then they took liberties-ate
bad fruit-things they could not digest.
They what we call ruined their constitu-
tions, destroyed their gastric juices,
and then they were expelled from Para
disc by an angel with the flaming
sword. The angel with the flaming
sword, which turned two ways, was in
digestion. There came great indiges'
ton upon the earth because the cooks
were bad, and they called it deluge
All! I thank God there is to be no more
deluges-all the evil comes from this
Macbeth could not sleep. 1t was thu
supper, and not the murder. His wife
talked and walked. 1t was the suppe
again. Milton had bad digestion, be
cause he was always so cross and you
Carlyle must have the worst digestion
in the world, because he never says an.
good of anything. All! to digest is t
be happy. Believe me, my friends
there is no other way not to be turne
out of Paradise by fiery, two-handed
burning sword. IrOLlOpe.
