Cheerfulness the Offspring of Health.

That equable state of the mind which IS I'M
ruffled by trifing incidents, and looks on the
sunny side of things in general, is the result of
a healthful state of the brain and stomach
The dyspeptic and nervous invalid may-al-
though this is rare indeed-feign cheerfulness,
and may bear the harassing symptoms which
prosecute him with an assumption of heroic
indifference, but in reality he is the victim of
dependency. To experience genuine cheer
fulness of mind, the stomach must recover
its lost tone, the thinking organ its normal
quietude. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are the
best remedy for mental depression, since they
overcome the nervous debility and Indigestion
which originate and foster it. Persons suffer-
ing from in6rmities peculiarly incident to the
decline of life, ladies in delicate health, and
convalescents, derive solace and vigor from its
use. Drive away the blues and revive the droop-
ing energies with this grand stimulative tonic.

Dyspepsia-What 1t Is, and How TO Cure It,.
First the stomach don't work right, then
comes bad feeling after eating, fatulency, head
ache, dizziness and melancholy sometimes
nausea and vomiting. The liver soon becomes
torpid, then bilousness, constipation or possibly
diarrhea follows. Then comes the kidney af-
fections, with pain in the back and more or less
rheumatism or neuralgia; finally the nervous
system becomes affected, aggravating all these
and adding other symptoms, until it is all aches,
pains, weakness, dullness, irritability, bad tenn
per and a miserable feeling throughout A
simple pleasant and cheap remedy for all this

"What Everybody Saws Must he Truc.,,

"Wbat Everybody Says Must be Truc.o
The mcontroyertlble testimony offered by
those who have used DR.. Pierces Favorite Pre-
scription induced the doctor TO sell it under a
positive guarantee. Many ladies have refrained
from using it on account of general feeling
of prejudice against advertised medicines.
Let me ask question Are you prejudiced
against sewing machines because you have
seen them advertised? or can you doubt the
ingenuity and skill required in their invention
Again, would you refuse to insure you house
because the company advertised that it had
paid millions in losses, and yet had a. capital of
several millions Do such advertisements
shake your confidence, and create prejudices
Then why refuse to credit the testimony of
those who have found the Favorite Preserlp-
ton to be all that is claimed for it in over
coming those ailments peculiar to your sex !?
Why submit to the use of harsh, and perhaps
caustic treatment, thus aggravating your
malady when relief is guaranteed, and posi-
tive perfect and permanent cure has been
effected in thousands of cases ?

Dear Sa'-Allow me to extend my most sin

wife has received from the use of your Favorite

before using your medicine, and L had tried the
skill of several physicians but to no purpose.
Finally, thought would give the Favorite
Prescription trial, and she is now sound and

WHY Mr.. TILDEN DID NOT INSIST
7 EPONqIIIS RIGHTS.

An eminent citizen of Alabama, while
on a visit to New York last week. had an
interview with President-slect Tilden, the
substance Of which he related to the WASH
ington corresponds the Baltimore SIN
lie rays he said Mr. Tilden that the peo-
pie of the South were convinced that lie had
been fairly and lawfully elected to the Of
flee of President Of the United States: that
the people Of that section. in common with
The great body Of the people of the whole
United States. thought that Mr.. Tilden. as
the lawfully elected ruler Of the country,
should have. taken early after the election d
decided attitude. and insisted upon his
rights; that had lie done so, and the pro.
per anDann"encnS Of the vote Of the elec-
ioral colleges been prevented. the House
of Representatives wonld have elected him
according to the forms Of law, and made H.
self responsible for his induction into the
Office which belonged to him.
Mr.. Tilden listened intently TO the res

twenty years his senior. lie replied that

A VERY RAD SIGN OF TIE TIMES.

Perhaps the most lnmentabie circum.
stance in connection with the frauds aud fal-
nres that have happened during the last
three years is the fact that it seems possible
for man to be guilty Of almost any deIiu-
qnency in regard to money. and yet to re.
tain bis social position il bis dishonesty he
only on a sufficiently large scale. TO give
m instance in point: A man came TO a
friend for a loan Of 500. 0DO. and the
friend. with very great difficulty managed
to oblige him. Within few weeks the
borrower fai ed. having. nieanwliile. settled
largely on his sife. aud his failure caused
the ruin Of the lender. Not long since the
latter observed 10 friend with great emo

MHATA WOMAN DID.

Jennie June writes in n recent lci.Pr to
the Baltimore 1mericdn: Another story
is so strange that it will hardly be believed
TO be true, and yet il is most painfully SO
IN every detail. A short time ago man
applied TO one who had been an old friend
to indorse d note which he Offered with
some trepidaiion, but which bore every
evidence Of neing genuine. The friend
was glad to revive old associations, and as
the note WAS not for large amount
.dividual lwas profuse In his acknowledge
ments, and incidentally mentioned lis
wife's name. Your wife, repeated the
indorser, why, thought your wife's
name was. You know / wasacquainted
with her before sou were. oh, yes,' said
the other, with very red face, 'iliat was
my first wife; did you not know That she
Was dead, aud that have married again p
No, he did not know il, and was very
sorry To lear Of the loss, for that first
wife had been very sweet little girl, and
an old schOOlmate and flame of hisown.
In due time the note came to maturity,
was returned To him to his surprise and
annoyance, aud he was obliged To pay it.
Being in the neighborhood Of Harlem,
where the man whom lie had known
had formerly lived and owned a little
house, lie concluded 10 call and see Ii lie
lived there still. He did call, and 10 his
blank astonishment the first wife, his
former sehoolmate, opened the door. He
almost tainted; lac told The tale that had
been invented by her husband, and asked
her what il meant. Then she sadly told
him an unhappy story. How her hus-
baud lad made The acquaintance of "a
young giIl; had continued it, giving her
the impression that he was an unmarried
man; how he had promised TO marry her,
and, being unable 10 do So, had been
threatened with the State prison by her
enraged relatives.
How, to osaye him from imprisonment and
utter loss Of character, she he'd permitted
him 10 obtain divorce, entering no plea,
suffering all that misrepresentation aud
slandercouId heap upon her, aud fiually
choosing To be dead TO the world altos

a SPANISH LESSON.

II Is strange indeed that Spain. with her
history. should now be able TO give lesson
in clelnency 10 the United States. Such is
the fact. The Spanish Government. while
the rebellion il still raging in Cuba. has
granted pardon. without reserve, to All per-
sons banished FROM that island for political
reasons. IL has raised the emoargoes on
the property Of insurgents Who have surren.
dered or shall surrender lrcfore The end Of
the war. excop: the chiefs (still fghting) Of
those WHO having been pardoned have re-
Joined the rebels. Hhile Spain thus h.
niently treats the men who aTe still il arms
against her o. openly sympathizing with her
enemies. The government of The United
States continues TO withhold full amnesty
iruin some Of those who sheaibed the sword
Of rebellion twelve years ago. Surely we
should not let ourselves be outdone in iuag.
naniinity by nation such a. Spain. Ii
the spanish monarchy now feels 80 little

Jon them belore they have surrendered or

that this republic could afFrd to restore to
