Ep-DYSPEPsTA DYSPEPSIA DYSPEPSIA
Dyspepsia is the most perpexlng OF all human
ailments. Its symptoms are almost infinite In their
variety, and the fororn and respondent victims OF
the disease often fancy themselves the preyin turn
OF every known maady. This Is due, in part, to the
close sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the brain, and In part also to the fact that any
disturbance of the digestive function necessarily
disorders the liver the bowels and the nervous sys-
TEN, and affects, to some extent, the quality OF the

EezTbe Landark Gazette. a stauuc

skTThe Landark Gazette, a staunch
Granger paper, publishes the following,
which-is too good to be lost:
ga Granger dreamed that he died; he
went straight to the spirit world; he
knocked at the gate of the New Jerusa
lem, and it was opened unto him. The
books were opened; he was asked, "Did
you ever belong to any secret socie-
ties ?" to which he replied, II did, to
Grangers." Then, sir, you cannot be
admitted. Depart" He then went to
the door Of the bottomless pit,where the
same question was again asked him by
the Devil; and again he was told to de-
part. After he had gone a little way
eff,he was accosted by the homely ruler
of the pit, when the following PROPOSE
tions were made: STRANGER said Nick,
II will not admit you here; they do not
want you in heaven; but I will sell you
two hundred barrels of birthstone for

The Vertical Feed.

This is arranged above the shuttle plate, the
goods resting upon a smooth surface are held
firmly down by the presser foot until the needle
has penetrated the fabric, ut which time the
pressure on the fabric is being transmitted from
the pressure foot to the vertical feed bar (which
comes down on the goods close behind the nee
dle,) by means of bearer connecting the two
and also with the needle-bar, so that at the
time the needle has reached its lowest point the
full pressure is transmitted to the feed bar, and
at which time the eneedle bar and feed bar are
both moved laterally the desired length OF
stitch, both moving in unison at their highest
and lowest points. A moments glance at this
novel combination for feed will convince the
reader of its superiority for the following rea-
sons:
1st. The presser foot is always nised from
the fabric when the feed takes place, thereby
presenting no resistance to seams or ridges
while feeding.
I'd. The needle being in the fabric. moving
with the verticalfeed bar with its full pressure
on the goods, renders the feed sure and strong,
and the stitch uniform in length.
Sd. The needle being in the goods at the
time the feed takes place. renders it impossible
to full one iece while the other is stretched.
4th. The vertical feed bar being behind the
needle renders it capable of sewing elastic
goods making smooth and flexible seam with
Stitch alike on both sides-thus enabling the
sewing of any number of thicknesses without
basting, and operating with equal facility On
the heaviest as well as the lightest fabrics.
1t is not a machine with few selling points,
and otherwise the same as the generality of ma

Davis is the only real practical machine for
hemming bias goods of any kind without bast-
ing, and is especially adapted to dress making
in all its branches. It has taken the highest

other machines. 1t took the first premiums at

CoNFUcIUs AND THE GIRLS. Ls.-Confucius, who
is as highly esteemed by over four hundred
millions of Chinese as Jesus among Christians
was born 546 years before Christ, died 1876 B c.
| at the age of 70. The empire was divided into
provinces called kingdoms. Cenfucius found
that interest, avariee, ambition, dissipation,
false policy, pleasure and luxury prevailed in
all these little courts. He undertook to ban
ish all these. and accordingly began to preach
and to practice the virtue of modesty, disin-
terestedness, equity, temperance, and con-
tempt of riches and pleasures. He rose to dis
tinction, and though offices We're urged upon
him he refused to accept them. in order that
At length having made so good an impression
upon the court Of the kingdom of Loo, in
which he resided, he accepted an office in the
administration. He was SO thorough in re
forming the kingdom and his court, as well as
the people at large. the jealousy and alarm of
the neighboring kings was nearly excited.
Among these, says the Chinese historian, the
king of Isl was most alarmed. He held sew
eral councils with his principal ministers, and
after frequent deliberations it was concluded
that, under pretense of an embassy, they
should make a present to the king of Loo and
to the grandees of his court of great number
of young girls of extraordinary beauty, who
were instructed from their infancy in singing
and dancing, and were possessed of all the
charms that were likely to please and capti-
vate the heart.
The stratagem succeeded. The king his
court and the grandees gave themselves up to
the new entertainment Of the girls, and de-
voted themselves more to the invention of
new diversions for them than TO the admins
tration of the State. Confucius demonstrated,
aud tried to bring them to sobriety, simplicity
and virtue, but in vain. He threw up the
Office in disgust and left his native country
for other people, more fit to relish and prac-
tice his maxims.
The influence of the girls is considerable in
this day, even in our own country. The great
est of philosophers was so completely beaten
by them that he was compelled to consider all
lest for the kingdom of Loo.

Alone in the dawn's cold light!
Abandoned To what? To the strangers hand
To the careless care of busy land;
To fortunes freaks-to circumstance
To be the sport of blind mischance.
For it's baby mouth no mothers breast;
To be by no soft hand caressed
To hear no lullaby at night,
No low sweet murmurs of loves delight,
Abandoned A stranger, helpless mite,
In cold strange land on a cruel night
All, who will answer the mute demands,
The wordless prayer of imploripg hands,
The dumb appeal of the wistful eyes,
The longing look Of sad surprise,
The guivering lip and the starting tear,
The piteous wall or the cry of fesr@-
Claiming mothers love and care,
And finding them not anywhere?
And who will steady the tottering feet,
And listen with love to the prattle sweet,
And tench the words of the little prayer
That angels stoop from Heaven to hear,
And guide and govern and warn and teach.
From the earliest lispings of broken speech
To the later years when the child shall be
Secure in the strength of maturity
Counting all other gifts above &.
happy home and mothers love?
Alas for the baby! small and white,
Asleep in basket this cruel night!
Abandoned to toss in an unknown sea,
With the shifting tides of adversityl
The cold pale stars as they glimmer down
On the sins and the griefs of the restless
town,
Have seen no wilder remorse than hers

To wait for the dawn of friendless day,
Wringing her hands as she fees away,
Too remorseful and hard to pray;
Speeding away from the better part
With an aching breast and broken heart,
Away from the tender appealing thing;
Away from hope and away from life,
To a black despair and bitter strife;
Away from all that could help or save,
To a life of sin or a suicides gravel
Alas that the story is always the same.
