A Result of Obstructed Digestion,

Among the hurtful consequences of OBJ
structed digestion, is the impoverishment
of the blood, and since detariative con-
diton of the vital fluid not only produces
dangerous organic weakness, but, accord
ing to the best medical authorities, some
times causes asphyxia, it is apparent that
to improve the quality Of the blood by
promoting digestion and assimilation, Is
a wise precaution. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is precisely the remedy for this
purpose, since it stimulates the gastric
juices, conquers those bilious and evacu-
ative irregularities, which interfere with
the digestive processes, promotes assimi-
lation Of the food By the blood, and puri-
lies as well as enriches it. The signs of
improvement in health in consequence OF
using the Bitters are speedily apparent
in an accession of vigor, n gain in bodily
substance, and regular and active per-
loImarce of every physical function.

Never Knock Under.

No, never! Always rally your for
ces for another and more desperate
assault upon adversely. If calumny
assails you, and the world-as it is
apt to do in such cases-takes part
with your traducers, don't turn moo.
dy and misanthropic, or worse still,
seek to drown your unhappiness in
dissipation. Bide your time. Dis,
prove the SANDER if you can; if not,
live it down. If poverty comes up:
on you like a thief at night, what
then? Let it rouse you as the pres.
ence Of the real thief would do, TO
energetic action. No matter how
deeply you may have got into hot
water-always provided you did not
help the father Of lies to heat it.
your case, if you are of the right
kind of stuff, is not desperate, nor is
it in accord with the divine order
and sweep of things that life would
have no difficulties which an honest,
determined man with heavens help,
cannot surmount.

Snail Means.

We think that the power of money
is, Oh the whole, over estimated
The greatest things which were done
for the world have not been accom-
plished by rich men, or by subscript-
ion lists, but BY men generally Of
small pecuniary means. The great
est thinkers, discoyerers, inventors
and artists have been men of moder-
ate wealth, many of them little rails
ed above the condition of manual
laborors in point Of worldly circum-
stances. And it will always be SO
'Klcnes Glp orEner impedImenC than
a stimulus to action; and in many
cases they are quite as much a mis-
fortune as a blessing. The youth
who inherits wealth is apt to have
life made too easy for him, and so
grows sated with it, because he has
nothing left to desire. Having no
special object to struggle for, he finds
time too heavy on his hands; remains
mentally and morally asleep; and his
position in society is often no higher
than that of a polypus over which
the tide floats.

Character.

There is nothing which adds so

man, as a good moral character. 1t

Such a character is more to be desi-

make their prospects, even in this
life; never should we find them yield.

why They Often FAN.

Young men often fail to get on in
this world because they neglect small
opportunities. Not being faitbfplin

to the charge of greater things.
A young man who gets Il subordi-
nate situation sometimes thinks it is
not necessary for him to give it much
attention. He will wait till he gets
a place of responsibility, and then
he will show people what he can do.
This is 4 very greatmistakc. What
ever his situation may be, he should
master it in all its details, and per,
form all its duties faithfully.
The habit of doing his work thor
oughly and conscientiously is what
is most likely to enable a young man
to make his way, With this habit
a pcrsonof only ordinary abilities
would outstrip one of greater talents
who is the habit of sighting subor-
dinate matters.
But, after all, the nero adoption
by a young man, of this great essen
tial rule Of success, shows him to be
possessed of superior abilities.

Common Sense.

The very basis of good taste is form
ed by common sense, 1t teaches a
man, in the first place, that two ell
bows are highly inconvenicnt in the
world; and, in the second, that the
fewer people you jostle on the road
of life the greater your chance of sue
cess among men or women, Its not
necessary that the common-senso
man need be an unimaginative man;
but it is necessary that his imagina-
tion should be well regulated. Good
taste springs from good sense, be-
cause the latter enables him to un.
derstand, atall times, precisely where
he is, and what he ought to do under
the circumstances of his situation.
Good taste is just appreciation of
the relationship and probable effects
of ordinary, as well as extraordinary
things; and no man can have 1T un-
less he is in the habit of considering
his own position, and planning his
own actions with coolness and accu-
racy
