Precaution Against Sickness.

The ability Of the human body 10 resist The
causes of disease depends upon lis vlgor and
upon the regularity with which the several or
gans perform their functions In the winter
the most prolific sources OF sickness are damp
and cold, and it is therefore wise and prudent
TO fortfy tho system against them by whole
some stimulation. Hence it is that Hostetier's
Stomach Bhters prove such an admirable safe
guard against the complaints most common al
this season. The ingredients Of this powerful
vegetable invigorant comprise three essential!
medicinal elements which act simultaneously
upon the digestion, the circulation, the secre-
tions, aud nerves, infusng strength and regu-
larty into all. In this way the BItters put TIE
body in tie best possible condition 10 escape
an attack Of rheumatism, or intermittent lever
or Indigestion, or bilicusneSs, or OF pulmonary
disease. Cold and damp are very depressing;
almost as much so as escesslye heat, and pro-
tective medicine is quite as ueetlu in winter
as in summer. The commercial stimuants so
unwisely taken in the form Of drains 10 keep
out the cold" have precisely opposite elect
10 that produced by Hostetier's Bstters. Their
first result is succeeded by q reaction which
deyitalizes and prostrates the system; while, OIL
the other hand, the tonic and vita LIKING opera
ton Of the great vegetable inygorant, is not
only immediate but permanent. There is no
revulsion, no reverse nervous action. The ply
sidue is strengthened, the appetite Increased,
the bowels regulated, the stomach reinforced,
and these conditions continue. If dyspepsia or
rheumatism, or biliousness, or intermittent fe-
yer, or general debility, or nervous weakness,
is present in the system, expel ii with this pure
and harmless antidote, which is not only inval-
liable as preventive Of sickness, but also q
remedy for large class Of disorders.

Berkeley County.

We clip the following items from the
last Msrtinsburg papers,
BERKELEY COUNTY IRON OREs.-lt
seems now to be very well settled that
the iron interest Of the county OF Berk-
lev is looming up into importance, and
that we soon may expect to see iron
furnaces established here, and the man
ufacture of that article conducted upon
an extensive basis. There are flatterlng
indications of ore between this and the
river, not far from the line of our new
railroad. The experiments upon the
land of the Hon. c. ]. Faulkner, near
Martinsburg, seems to be of the most
promising and decisive character. AL
ready thirty-fve tons of iron ore, of the
best yield and quality, have been taken
from near the surface, and forwarded to
Reading, Pa, to be there thoroughly
tested. So far as these specimens have
been subjected to experiment, the re-
suits are most favorable -Statesman.

Martinsburg, on Wednesday week.

had been fair and encouraging from
the 10th of September, when 1t was

Lucy Downing.

Lucy Downing, sister of John Win
throp, was one of the chief movers for a
higher education here in America, and
her solicitations led to the founding of
Harvard College. Her brother urged
her to settle here, but she declined do
ing so unless some provision was made
for the education Of her son George.
She says: at would nerve me to go far
nimbleT to New England, ifiGod should
call me to it, than otherwise [ should;
and believe a cottage would put no
small life into the plantation This
was 1886, and in October of the same
year, the general court at Boston voted
E400 to a college, of which e200 was to
be paid in 1887, AMI the other half when
the building was finished. IN NOvem-
ber, 1887, the building was located at
Cambridge, and about year afterward
1t was endowed by Rev. John Harvard
with one-half his estate. The President
took his seat in 1910, and second on the
list of his first graduating class of nine
young men, six of whom became minis
tiers, stands the name of Lucy Down

S0NE DAY.
By ALLIE WELLINGTON.


There will be a hush in darkened room,
Where, needing not the Silly gloom,
A DaIIid form will lowly lie
Meath the folds OF the snowy drapery:
Pale hands clasped DER pulseless breast,
cold white lips In silence pressed,
Ewes that have closed In sleep for aye:
There will be footsteps muffied tread
And voices whisper, "She Is dead :"
Some day.
Others tears and others woes
Shall not disturb my deep repose;
Perhaps some loving hand may press
Ny marble brow in tenderness,
And twine the myrtle roses fair,
To deck my rest as l slumber there;
But naught 10 me will that pressure be,
Or beauty or fragrance OF rarest flowers,
The light or shadow OF passing hours,
Some day.
I shall not heed as they bear me on.
With solemn tread, 10 the churchyard lone,
or hear the tone ofthe deep-toned bell,
Breaking with mournful ebb and swell;
As they lower me down shall grieve nor fear
The requiem strain shall not hear
Or even the shock OF the yellow clay,
As with hollow sound on the coflin-lid
IL falls and covers my narrow bed,
Some day.
Summers and winters will come and go,
With their floral wealth and robes OF snow,
And the phantom train Of years go by;
But shall not heed them where lie;
The violet there, with its eye OF blue,
May weep o'er my mound its tears OF dew,
The wild bird trill his sweetest lay,
Yet the heart that meath lies cold and still
VIII not respond with its wonted thrill,
some day.
Only lock OF silken hair,
Little mementoes here and there;
Only a ceasing OF care and strife,
Alas! alas is 10 all OF life?
All, no. there's somewhere falrer shore,
Where hands long parted shall clasp once
more;
A beauteous land in the far-away,
Where light and Joy Will e'er remain
And the soul its lOng-lost treasures regain,
Some day.
Then why should we fear, o Deathi thy clasp
Or shrink at the touch OF thine icy grasp,
Since thou art the angel that opens the gate
OF that city bright where our loved ones wait
We will place the hand without the thrill
Into thine own, so cold and chill;
Come, lead Us thou 10 that realm of day
Where never Is heard n sigh or kneli
But where the pure and beautiful dwell
For ayei
