Visage Riyalling


That Of a ''heatnen Cainee," if belong
ing to one of our race, Can scarcely be
described as attractive. But worse than
this, it is the index of a disoTdered liver,
of a liver that needs arousing and regula-
ting. The remedy is at hand. prompt,
'efficacious. A course Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bittcrs will expel the misdirect-
ed bile from the blood and divert it into
the proper channel, open the bowls, re-
move the dyspeptic symptoms which in
variably accompany b%illousuess and coun.
,eracts the rapidly developing tendency
to dangerous congestion of the liver,
which must always exist when the skin
and whites OF the eyes assume this yellow
hue. The pains through the right lower
ribs, side and shouldtr blade, nausea,
furred state Of the tongue, and unpleas-
ant breath which indicate liver complaint,
in short all lis disagfeeable concomntants
soon remedied by this sovereign cor
which in addition to it's r-gula-
ting properties is a superb invigorant,
and a pure and agreeable medicinal sti-
mulant, appetizer and nervine.

Our Mails,

For severa! weeks past the
mails have been very irregular,
missing connection as often as
three times in one week. To
merchants and business men gen.
orally this has proven a source
of considerable vexation and an
noyance. Some one is to blame
for it, and all circumstances seem
to plainly Indicate that the fault
lies with Capt. Pharr. While
we would not do any one an in
justice in the matter we think
that an explanation of some sort
is due the public by that gentle
man.

beJ% Persons inclined to the
sin of stealing are satisfied if they
can only be certain they shall not
be discovered. | once heard it
related, that a man who was in
the habit Of going to a neighbours
corn6eld to steal the ears, one
day took with him his son, a
boy Of eight years of age. The
father told him to hold the bag.
while he looked if any one was
near to see him. After standing
on the fence , aid peeping through
all the corn rows, he returned to
take the bag from the child and
his guilty work. Father"
said the boy, "you forgot to look
somewhere else" The man drop
ped the bag in alright and said.
Which way, child ?" supposing
he had seen some one. You for
got to look up to the sky to see il
God was noticinge YOU" The
ather felt the repro6 Of the child
80 much, that he left the corn, re-
:urned home. and never again
'entured to steal /; remembering
he truth his child had taught him,
hat the eye Of God always be-
'olds us. God sees me-" is a
bought that would keep US from
vii acts, if we would try, con-.
tantly, to feel its truth.

loom up in his vast and mighty

invited Gov. Wilt to a joint

could result in nothing but good
to the whole people by elevating
the contest from a mere personal
attack on, or praise Of the varions
