The Effects of Dosing.

Many persons who are wanting In natural
vigor endeavor 10 supply the deficiency by
constantly dosing themselves with drugs
(oIten of II very porniclous nature), which
they are credulous enough to mistake for in-
MIGRANTS. There can be no doubt that
many lives are shortened In this way. All
that such persons require Is pure vcgot-
able tonic which, like Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters, also possesses the regulating proper
ties necessary to rectly those organic dis
turbances which are but the result of weak
ness. The feeble and the nervous can not be
too earnestly advised to abandon the dan
gerous practice of swallowing mineral tonics,
sedatives and vegetable allaloils, which dis
order the stomach and produce the most
hurtful reactions, and 10 substitute up their
place this standard Strengthening cordial
and corrective of the numerous disorders
proceeding from debility Of the nervous sys-

THE AGREEABLE PAUPER.

This harmless element in the social
arena is to be found in every society.
He is generally we'll educated, pleasant
in address and as inoffensive as an
oyster. His good humor is an armor
that protects him from the reproaches
of those who are annoyed at his not
getting on in the world better. The
women like him for Iris small talk and
his accomplishments as partner in
what NJ. Dick Spiacller calls 1.-The
mazy.' He is ever ready to fetch and
carry for them, and never gives him.
self any airs of authority. They speak
of him as "nice," and always welcome
him in patronising sisterly way, for
the idea of marrying him never enters
their pretty heads. He is diletanta
adorer of the whole sex, sentimental
peddler who opens his affections for
inspection and smilingly goes on to
the next house if his goods don't suit.
He is always hanging on "the ragged
edge" of a Irritation that never ends in
business. He is generally man who
'has never had a chancen
to show what is in him according TO
his opinion. There is no tenarity i'm
him; the world knocks and jostlcs him
about In sad way, and he never, by
any circumstance, gets the better ofn.
The heat and burden of the day in
the struggle of life sink him into nh
amiable apathy, from which he is Pc
riodically aroused by some temporary
incentive. His money comes by fits
and starts, and goes in pampering the
women of his acquaintance with cheap
luxuries, gew-gaws and buggy rides.
Sometimes he is caught by managing
mamma, and harnessed for life. Then
comes the idleness and inprovidence,
and one long strain to keep up appear
anees. Not being given 10 making
money, he floats on the surface of
current events, always sanguine, al |
ways just about to do something,
and never doing anything. If pro-
fesslonal man, he gets to be a mere
spectator, who watches the progress of
others without the ambition to catch
