Put Yourself i'm His place.

Reader, put yourself in the place of dyspeptic
and bilious patient under the oldfashioned, regu-
lar treatment. Alopathic doses OF blue pill, pur-
gatives that go through him with the impetuous
rush Of an avalanche, opium when he can't sleep
and n little beef tea to keep him alive under the
assaults Of the medicine men upon his stomach,
hts intestnes, his liver, and his BRAIN all theme he
has to endure. Is it any wonder that he becomes
dreasfully weak, emaclated and detected Reader,
il you have any gumption" you would, unde any
circums stanoes, and at all hazards decline to put
yourself--otherwise than suppositiously-in that
mans place. Now put yourselfin the place Of a
person with the same complaints, who has had the
sense to resort to Iiostetter's Stomach Biters
remedy. He takes that agreeable and potent vege-
table tonic and Alternative will say, three times
a day. As a necessary consequence his appetite
returns his digestion improves his bodily strength
increases, his bowels become free and regular, his
sleep is sound and refreshing, his spirits grow,
buoyant, tue tinge of health returns to his com
plexion, and in few weeks the cure is conn lcte.
This is no fancy picture, It's brief abstract Of the
experience OF thousands Of dyspeptic, bilious,
debilitated and dcspairing patients. Is it neces-
sary to ask the reader in which of the two places
he would put himselfif afflicted with any disease

Il thus appears that with the same
white population the six South Atlantic
States have more than double rs many
churches and two-thiris as many more
church$it,ings as the six New England
State. II may be said that the New
England States have large foreign popu-
lation; but this is mostly Catholic, and
noted for the liberality with which it
builds and equips churches. II may be
further said that many freedmea church

Eating.

The true lady or gentleman can always
be distinguished at the table. 1t requires
inbred gentility to cat in modest and
becoming manner, and at the same time
exhibit proper respect and courtesy to-
ward those around you, being mindful
even of the feelings of the servants.
One who lives at clearinghouse has
many opportunities to witness vulgar
eating; and he will often see this indica-
ton of ill-breeding on the part of those
whose dress and general appearance
would indicate something better.
The general position of a vulgar eater
is to cross his legs under the table or to
twist them in painful contortions around
his legs under the legs of his chair, and
then humping himself over until his
back describes perfect circle and his
CHA ranges just above the gravy in his
plate, deyour the articles of food as if
life depended upon getting through in
the shortest space Of time. He is angry
if the servants do not rush forward to
wait upon him the moment he sits down,
and still more so if they forget to pass
him any one of the dishes upon the table.
1t appears 10 his hungry Imagination
that he is Intentionally slighted, he man

days of his boarding-house life he never
