HARD TGMEs.--FOr the past three
years we have heard little else in COM
mercial circles but complaints and COM
ments on the hard, dull times, and while
theories have been abundant as to causes,
theirauthors fail to tell us when there is
to come a change for the better. A gen
tleman of our acquaintance said few
days since that he had over three hun
dred thousand dollars which was paying
him only two per cent. per annum. But"
said he, ''can any one tell me where ! can
safely invest it at better rates4" The
in the value of real estate has
made capitalists even mistrust and avoid
loaning money on mortgages, kind Of
security which was formerly considered
to be one of the best. The whole nation
seems to be taking rest after the excit-
ing race in which all took part during
the war; and this is the only explanation
we can give of the present hard times.

To Render the Liver Active

When that important secretive gland re.
quires arousing, it is only requisite to resort
to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the national
remedy for inactivity of the bilious organ,
for constipation, and for dyspepsia, besides
those malarious disorders to which torpidity
of the liver predisposes person. Far more
surely does this celebrated ant-bilous cor
dial accomplish curative result than mer-
Guy or any other mineral drug used to cure
liver disorders. In fact, such medicaments
cannot fairly be called remedies, since, al
though they may have a temporary effect,
they eventually fail to influence the system
remedially, but instead often do it serious in
jury The Bitters, on the contrary, are a
specific OF the most salutary nature, and are
likewise reliable and agreeable tonic, ap.
petiZer and nervine.

How INDIANS CLIMB TREEs.-In South
America even the weakest women may
be not unCommonly seen plucking the
fruit at the tree tops. If the bark is so
smooth and slippery that they cannot go
up by climbing, they use other means
They make hoop of wild vines, and
putting their feet inside they use it as a
support in climbing. The negro of the
west coast Of Africa makes larger hoop
around the tree, and gets inside it, and
Jerks it up the tree with his hands, lit.
tie at the time, drawing his legs up after
it. The Tahitian boys tie their feet to-
gether, four or five inches apart, with a
piece of palm bark, and with the aid of
this fc,ter go up the cocoa palms to
gather nuts. The native women of Aus.
trala climb the gum trees after opossums; !;
where the bark is rough they chop holes
with hatchet, then one throws about
the tree IA rope twice as long as will go
around it, puts her Ratchet on her
cropped head, and, placing her feet
against the tree and grasping the rope
with her hands, she bitches it up by
jerks, and pulls herself up the enormous
trunk almost as fast as a man will climb
Il ladder.

many animals can be accommodated
there. The grounds are very beautiful,
and are shaded by many fine large forest
trees. There is lake where the swans
and the ducks and geese swim about, and
where the cranes stand on one leg and
watch for little fishes and frogs. Here and
there are large houses for the different
kinds of animals or birds, and there are
a number of smaller buildings; but a

tnat the Board OF Excise cannot grant
licenses To any person u sell strong and
spirituous liquors and wines tD be drank
on the premises of the pcrsOl licensed
unless such person is an inn, tavern, or
hote-keeper; and that all licenses which
have been heretofore or which may her =
after be granted to persons other than
inn, tavern, or hotel.keepers to sell
strong and spirituous liquors and wines
to be drunk on the premises OF the
person licensed are invalid. Such Ii
censes authorize the person to sell
liquors and wines in quantities less
than five gallons at a time, provided
the same are not drunk on the premises
but afford no protection to the person
selling such liquors or wines if the same
are drunk on the premises. All such
persons licensed to sell strong and spirit
uous liquors and wines in small quanti-
ties other than inn, tavern, or hotel. keep
ers, who sell liquors and wines to be
drunk on the premises, are liable to ar
rest in the same manner as persons who
sell liquors or wines in less than five gal
Ions at time without having license
therefor, and the police have the same
duties to perform in relation to the for

ors; and the members of the police force
have power to Immediately arrest, with
out warrant, and take in custody any
person who shall commit such said mis-
.demeanors in the presence of the police
force. The liquor dealers do not purpose
to submit quietly, but will form an asso-

THE present Sultan is man of quite
different and far more active habits than
some of his immediate predecessors. By
ten o'clock in the morning he takes his
place in the cheerful little room in the
right wing of the palace which he has
made his own--a little gem in its way,
furnished in ebony and green velvet, its
only adornments select library, num-
Der of maps hung on the walls, the busts
Of his father and grandmother. In the
morning he sends for the Grand Marshal
of the palace and makes out the pro-
gramme for the day; he then calls for
his First Secretary, with whose assist,
ance he carefully examines the public
documents sent to him. Occasionally,
while still in his dressing gown, he re-
ceiyes ministers on pressing business; (;
otherwise he works at his papers till
noon, when he breakfasts, and shortly
after reappears in his study dressed in
the Quaker. cut black frock-coat called
StambuLee. Then commence the official
receptions, generally followed by sec
and interview with his Grand Marshal,
otter which he either takes walk in the
palace grounds or trip on the Bospho'
rus in his yacht. He dimes slightly after
sunset, takes no raki before his dinner,
and no wine with the meal. Once or
twice week he invites some members OF
the Cabinet to spend the evening with
him, and talks to them upon public af-
fairs; other evenings are devoted to mu'
sic. He has a special pianist, an Italian,
attached to the palace, and sometimes the
palace troup perform a pantomime for
his amusement. About eleven, or earlier,
he retires to his harem, which, expressed
prosaically, means goes to bed. He is
perfectly conscious that his constitution
is not robust, and his physicians say that
he adheres most faithfully to their advice
for the preservation of his health.

Warming to Advertisers.

The insanity of DR.. J. c. Aver, of Lo-
well, affords terrible warning to adver-
tisers. Here was a man engaged in the
manufacture of pill, not differing much
from a hundred other pills that may be
obtained at any drug store. In an I'M
guarded moment lie made up his mind
that he would advertise, not in a picaune
style of the ordinary dealer, but in a
comprehensive sort Of way, by which he
could reach every possible purchaser Of

voting half of his profits each year to adj

ioreseen. lie accumulated money so rap>
idly that he did not know what to do
with it. When he had rolled together
fifteen million dollars. and had vainly en-
deavored to find some outlet for his ever
increasing profits, his mind gave way I'M

lamity might have been averted. If he
had stuck to the conservative methods of
many of our merchants, and refrained
from advertising, he might have been
passing quietly through bankruptcy now
instead Of being loaded down with his
uncounted millions. 1t is dangerous

to become rich to advertise. Or if he ad-

Successful Men.

Who are they? They are the men
who, when boys, were compelled to work,
either to help themselves or their parents,
and who, when little older, under the
stern necessity of doing more than their
Legitimate share of labor; who, IS young
men, had their wits sharpened by having
to devise ways and means of making
their time more valuable than it would
be dnder ordinary circumstances. Hence
in reading the lives Of eminent men who
have greatly distinguished themselves,
we find their youth passed in self-denials
Of food, sleep, rest and recreation. They
set up late, rose early to the performance
Of imperative duties, doing by daylight
the work of one man, and by night that
of another. A banker Of high integrity,
and who started in life without shilling,
said the other day:
"For years was in my place of BUSH
ness at sunrise, and often did not leave it
for fifteen or eighteen hours"
Let not then any youth be discouraged
if he has to make his own living, or even
to support a widowed mother or sick
sister, or unfortunate relative, for this
has been the road to eminence of many a
proud name. This is the path which
men have often trod-thorny enough at
times, at others so beset with obstacles
as to be almost impossible; but the way
was cleared, sunshine came, success fol>
lowed-then glory and renown.
