Re.Opening q ThoroushKnra.

In order to guard against results utterly
snbversve of health, it is absolutely essential
that the grand thoroughfare or avenue of the
system, the bowels, should be re-opened as
speedily as possible when they become OBJ
structed. If they are not the bile is misdirect.
ed into the blood the liver becomes torpii :;
viscid bilious matter gets into the stomach and
produces Indigestion; headaches ensue and
other symptoms are produced, which a pro-
longation of the exciting cause only tends to
aggravate. The aperient properties of Hos
letters Stomach Btters constitute a most
useful agent in overcoming construction of the
bowels and promoting a regular habit of body,
IL is infinitely superior to the drastic carthar-
ties frequently used for the purpose, since it
does not, like them, act violently but produces
a natural, painless effect, which does not i'm
pair the tone of the evacuatory organs, which
it invigorates instead of weakening The
stomach and liver. also, indeed, the entire
system, is strengthened and regulated by it.

The Potato Prospect.

As we predicted, potatoes have ad-
vanced rapidly in price, and the pros
pect is that they will be worth "a a
barrel before spring, unless supplies
are brought in from Nova Scotia. A
great many farmers have not enough
for their own tables half the winter.
The season was very unfavorable for
this crop; the cold and wet weather
of May injured the early plant, and
the wet summer affected the vines of
the later growing. They are rusty,
some like the old-fashioned blight Of
nearly thirty years ago. The beetles
were destructive, and altogether,
there will be, according to present
prospects, a scarcity greater than we
remember ever to have seen. When
the vines rust the potatoes do not
keep well, as they partake of the dis
ease. This is the case this year, al
though not so bad as at the period
above referred to. Since then pota-
toes have never yielded as they did
before. They used to be the great
staple food for fattening hogs in the
potato growing districts of this state,
boiled in hinge cauldron kettles and
mixed with barley and pea-meaf We
must learn to eat more turnips and
beets and Hubbard squashes, and
take vegetable diet in the form OF
sugar rather than of starch. -NeU

ADEL1NA PATHS EARLY LIFE.
1he Diva's Own Story OF Her Chi di,ood and
First Lyric Venture.

| From the Theatre
The story of her early life as told
Dy Nine. Haiti to DR.. Edward Hans.
lick, Of Milan, is as follows: "She
was born at Madrid in ls4a. Her
father was a SicilIan, and her mother
a Roman, and both were excellent
singers. In her childhood the family
migrated to New York, where she be.
came proficient in modern languages,
and was taught by her step brother
to sing.
"The lessons in singing were con-
tinued by Mr.. Maurice Strakoscb, who
married her elder sister, Amelia. "a
musical ear, and the capacity to sing,'
says the diud were developed in me
at an early age. Whenever my mother
sang | was at the theatre, and every
melody, every gesture, became firmly
fixed on my mind. After being put
to bed would secretly get up, and
by the light of the little lamp enact
tor my own satisfaction all the scenes
which | had witnessed at the theatre
A red lined cloak of my fathers and
an old hat of my mothers served me
as costume, and thus / acted, danced
and chirped- barefootcd, but with ro-
mantle drapery--all through the ope-
ras. Applause and wreaths we're not
lacking, either, for / personated, too,

boGuets at myselt-boquets manufact-
ured of old newspapers.
"'Then bitter misfortune befell US !;
the manager failed, and disappeared
without paying his debts, and the
troupe dispersed. Before long we
were harassed by poverty and trouble
My father carried many things to the
pawn-shop, and sometimes knew not
how to produce bread for us. The
thought occurred to my father that
my childish voice would save the
family from starvation. And thank
God did save them. When I years
of age, | appeared as a concert singer,
and did it with all the pleasure and
careless gladness of child. In the
concert ball l stood on a table. next
to the piano, SO that the audience

years passed, during which / played
and sang industriously with my sister
Carlotta. My ability and my love for
the stage largely increased, and in
1859, when but half-grown girl, l
stepped on the stage for the first time
as Lucia di Lammermoor.'
