Outoi Tune.

When the tones Of a musical instrument
become harsh and discordant, we say II Is
stout OF tune" The same may be said Of
that far more wonderful and complicated
piece OF mechanism, the human structure,
when 1t becomes disordered. Not only
actual disease, but those far more common
causes, overwork, mental anxiety and fast
living, may impuir its vigor and activity.
The best remedy for a partial collapse OF
the vital energies, from those as well as
from other causes, Is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which is at the same time an
agreeable and mind cheering cordial, and
the best possible invigorant in all cases Of
debility. It's an incompatible stomachic
and ambitious medicine, eradicates fever
and ague, and prevents subsequent attacks.
1t remedies with certainty and thorough.

sia, nervousness, rheumatic troubles, aud
many other bodily ailments. It also coun-
teracts influences which predispose to
disease. eod&w

To the Members of the Council.

To the Members OF the COuncai.
I fear the authorities Of the city are not
aware of the amount OF suffering poor we
have amongst us. have never known so
many, and think it shame to Richmond,
which God will never bless so long as beg
gars are allowed to infest the streets. Why
can't every family who enjoy comfortable
homes be taxed small sum every year for
the relief Of the suffering and needy, and
let there be men appointed to canvass each
district to find out the real objects Of char
ity, as it is impossible for lis to know who
are imposters? I hope the Council will
consider the subject and take the necessary
step to alleviate suffering.
Gould there not be a workhouse cstab-
Iished? for the general excuse the poor
offer for begging is that they can get no
thing to do. Think OF the little ones cry:
ing for bread and can't get it! May God
bless those who relieve the poor.
So OBSERVER.
