Overtarking the Energies.

1t is not advisable for any of us to
overtask our energies, corporeaI or
mental, but in the eager pursuit of
wealth or fame or knowledge, how
many transgress this salutary rule. 1t
must be matter Of great Importance
to all who do so to know how they
can regain the vigor so reckIessly ex-
pended. The remedy is neither cost
ly or difficult to obtain. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is procurabie in every
city, town and settlement in America,
and it compensates for o drain of
bodily or mental energy more effec>
tually than any invigorant eyer pre-
scrbed Or advertised. Laboring mon,
athlets, students, journalists, lewyers,
clergymen, physicians, all bear testi :
mony to its wondrously renovating
powers. 1t increaaes the capabilities
for undergoing fatigue, and counter

An Easy Remedy.

Let every one, young or old, spend
less than he earns, and soon he will be-
come a capitalist. We have not heard
of man working for such low wages in
forty years but what he might save part
Of it. The agricultural editor once
worked for three years at an average Of
$50 per year and clothed himself. He
dressed respectfully, so as to 20 in the
best company, and had $85 of his wages
left at the end of three years. Clothing
was then dearer than now. Young men
who work for $18 per month can save
500 year. This put at interest at ten
per cent. for forty-fve years will be &c.
800. In this way every young man can
lay by and invest in three years an am
pie sum for old age, upon which he can
live when the windows are darkened
and the grinding is low" The savings
of three years from twenty-one to
twenty-four-safely invested, will be a
goodly sum for forty-five years.
Then we urge all to cure the ills Of
life by making themselves capitalists in
the shortest possible time. Any one
can do it. Get rich by spending less
than is earned. Merchants 60 into bank
rupt courts by the thousand, and manu-
facturers but in little less crowds, and
jobbers, bankers and brokers crowd hard
after them. Seldom farmer, who con-
fines his business to legitimate farming,
bankrupts, or asks his creditors to take
per cent. But the farmer can be in
dependent, basing all his operations on
natural laws and divine economy. Then
he can defy bankruptcy. And all the
young men now idle about the country
can, if they will, by spending not more
than half they earn, be as certain of a
competence as the rolling Of the spheres.

An Anecdote Of IS John Phenix.' >
San Francisco Golden Era,

Those who knew John Phoenix (Lieu-
tenant Derby)-knew him as we did
will be glad to read the following
striking anecdote, so characteristic Of
his noble nature. All who knew Derby
will remember that there was nothing
about him or his humor resembling those
sour, discontented, practical jokers so
naturally and justly taboed in society.
Good nature and good fellowship he
cherished; and beyond these, save in
the way of harmless mirth, he never
swerved. 1t was not in him. His pow
er Of face was something wonderful, and
this Is sufficiently attested by the anec-
dote.
He was sitting one evening in the
guests lolling-room of the old Oriental
Hotel, when little beggar girl came in
and with the keen discernment of little
people in general, noticed his child-lov-
ing, benevolent countenance, and ap-
preached him, asking aims. She was
very young, innocent looking and had
none of the juvenile whine of persist
ency Of most young mendicants whom
one meets in the streets and in the halls
of our public hotels.
Phoenix at once assumed a mournful
expression of face, and began to talk, as
it were, confdentially and affectionate-
ly to her. He told her that his father
was long since dead, and that he was
then but little boy, with no one to
look to, and often had not known where
to sleep at night.
The little girls blue eyes began to
moisten the lolling guests, most of
whom knew Capt Derby, gathered
around, when what was their surprise to
see the poor, sympathetic beggar-child
go close up to him, and in quiet, conf
Dental way, take out of the inside pock-
ct of her soiled and tattered frock all
the money which she had gathered
through the day, and placed it in his
hand. 1t is needless to say that the
tender hearted and courageous little
donor of her hard days earnings had not
only her small yet great benefaction re-
stored, but went away with great pos
sessions, educed from the pockets of
the sympathetic bystanders.

On Bathing.

Halls journal of Health don't be.
lieve in too much water for it says on
the subject of bathing once week is
often enought for man to wash him.
self all over, and whether in summer or
winter that ought to be done with soap
warm water and hogs hair brush, in a
room showing at least seventy degrees
Fahrenheit. Baths should be taken
early in the morning, for it is then that
the. system possesses the power Of re-
action in the highest degree. Any kind
OF bath is dangerous soon after meal,
or soon after fatiguing exercise. No
man or woman should take bath at the
close Of the day, unless by the advice of
a family physician. The best mode of
keeping the surface of the body clean
besides the once a week washing al
ready mentioned, is as follows: As soon
as you get out of bed in the morning,
wash your face, hands and neck and
breast; into the same basin of water
put both feet at once for about min
ute, rubbing them briskly all the time;
then with the towel, which has been
dampened by wiping the face, feet, ETC.,
wipe the whole body we'll, fast and hard,
with mouth shut and chest projecting.
Let the whole thing be done in less than
five minutes. At night, when you 60 to
bed, and whenever you find yourself
wakeful or restless, spend from two to
five minutes in rubbing your whole body
with your hand, so far as you can reach
in every direction. This has tendency
to preserve that softness and mobility
of skin which is essential to health, and
which too frequent washings will always
destroy.
