and debilitated persons-Invigorete Seda-
tives, opiates, appetizers, are comparatively
useless. The system must be built up with q
genuine tonic in order to the recovery of vigor
and tranquility by the nerves. A course, sys-
tematically pursued, of the leading invigorant,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, should be re-
sorted to by those who suffer from weak
nerves and general debility. The stomach,
always more or less dyspeptic in cases of ner-
vousness and loss OF vitality, is toned and reg
ulated by this medicine until the organ acts
with precision akin to that of steady going
piece of mechanism. Complete digestion and
assimilation are, through the influence OF the
Bitters, followed by gain of vigor and flesh,
and the disappearance oil biliousness and ire
gularity OF the bowels, where such exist, as
they usually do. Appetite and sleep are then
regained.

Catching q Wife Oh the Fly.

The Waco (TeXSs) Examiner tells this |
story of remarkable matrimonial
event: M. C. Shakespeare, farmer
residing in the northwestern part of this
county, and possibly distant relative
of the renowned bard of that name,
called on the Rev. J. II. Richey, in this
city, ut two O'Clock in the afternoon,
and said:
"Parson, do you know all the ladies
in Waco?"
No" replied Mr.. 7Richey; 81 don't
know half of then"
do you know Il widow lady named
Mrs: Ward, who is employed in the
family of DR.. McGrcgor?"
~ have not" said Mr.. Richcy, "thc
honor of her acquaintance; but why do
you ask?"
We'll" said Mr.. Shakespeare, 81
don't know her eiihcr-never saw her in
my life-.but thinking rs maybe you
knew all about her thought I'd come
and ask you. I'm thinking about mar
rying her"
II should tlink," remarked Mr..
Richey, "that you would refer that
matter to the lady herself"
- will-so will" said Mr.. s., "hut
not till | have frs seen DIR. McGregOr."
And so saying he turned and walked
away.
About three-q uarters of an hour later
in the day Mr.. Shakespeare again stood
in the presence of Mr.. Mchey.
1--we seen DIR. McGIegor," said he,
land he says he's known the lady six
teen years, and she's all right" Then
exacting from Mr.. Richey promise
that he would wait in his Office " little
while" Mr.. S. walked of, saying he
would "call on the lady"
And he did. "It's all right, parson," J."
said he, on walking into Mr.. Richcy's
Office less than an hour afterward
"I've seen the lady, and she says it's all
right. Quick as | can get n pair OF
licenses want you to go up and tie the
knot"
At twenty minutes after four O'Clock
NJ. G. Shakespeare was married to Mrs
Nancy Ward, Rev. j. II. Richey Off
ciating, and the newly-wedded pair left
at once for their rural home. Mr.
Shakespeare has a good farm and is wei
able to make his wife comfortable
Mrs. Shakespeare is good houskeepel
and is otherwise well qualified to make
him a good wife. Two hours ant
twenty minutes, dating from the mo-
ment the Yould-be bridegroom's frs
inquiries were made, is the precise time
occupied in the accomplishment of this
alliance. The original Shakespeare
never imagined anything half so ex

Justice in Albania.

One of the curious facts related of
Albanians is their strict adhesion to the
lea talionis. An assassin is killed by the
friends or relatives of the victim, and if
they cannot find the criminal himself
they have Il right to kill his father, his
son and brother or his cousin. A thief
is forced to pay double the value of the
stolen goods to the person robbed, and a
fine besides to the tribunal of justice
Adultery entails the same punishment as
assassination. If the betrothed girl re-
fuses to keep her promise the deceived
lover may kill a member of her family.
A guest is sacred; and man who vio-
lates the laws of hospitality and kills or
wounds his guest is chased from his
tribe, and no one is permitted to have
any communication with his family.
The same dishonor falls upon the man
who kills a woman. All his relatives
receive the surname of "Woman-slayer." a"
The Albanians number about 1000, 900
souls, and in the portion of their terri
tory claimed by Greece there are 1000
inhabitants.

annually desolated by consumption to one by

HOLY Writ Against Shaving.

The Cleveland physician who
maintains that shaving is a crime
against health and good looks, has
been ransacking his Bible for texts.
He fluids in LeyiticuS the INJUNCTION:
"Neither shalt thou man the corn
ers OF thy beard" He infers that
the children of Israel, while in
bondage to the Egyptians, initiated
many of their heathenish customs,
aud the shaving OF the beard was
one of them. Hence the great law
giver condemned it most emphatic.
ally, and n careful study of history
shows that the Hebrews generally
discarded the use of the razor, and
the primitive Christians generally,
initiating their example, wore their
boards long. Tertullian, AN emf
uent Christian writer and father in
the church, says: "The practice of
shaving the beard is Il lie against
our face, aud an impious attempt
to improve the works OF the Crea.
tor" The doctor wishes to know
if David's men, who were shaved,
only half shaved, by the order of
Vanun, looked any betteri Not
then, in their own eyes. nor in the
eyes'of King David, nor in the eyes
OF all the Jews and Gentiles of
their tune, for one reads that the
men We're greatly ashamed, and the
king said tarry at jericho until
your boards be grown and then re-
turn The doctors argument is
based upon natural history as we'll
as scripture. The lion has IA flow
ing beard which distinguishes him
from his weaker companions; aud
likewise in man the beard marks
most distinctively the chief pecl.
liarity of the countenances OF the
two sexes. When a man sllavrs
of his beard his face approximates
that OF 4 woman more nearly than
nature designed. Accordingly he
argues thatit men wish TO preserve
their asCendancy as the lords OF
creation they must put away their
raZOrS.

TO Young Men.

One of the most fatal mistakes,
and a common one, leading to many
others, which we have often heard
with a~maZement, is conveyed in
the almost proverbial phrase: "Ihe
world owes me a living" The
world does not owe you ii living. 1t
is not debtor to you, but you are
debtor to it, and YOU cannot work
too hard to discharge your Obliga-
ton. 1t not only does not owe You
anything, but it is not going to pay
you anything unless you earn it by
hard lickS, industry and attention
to business, and just so long IS you
pursue such a course in lite it will
pay.
We are none of us going to thrive
except by work, not by waiting for
this or that to turn up, not by look
ing ter this or that man TO help
you, not by expecting to be lifted
or pushed into success. There are
Micawbers" waiting for some
thing to turn up all the world over
-men waiting for the world to get
ready to pay them the debt they
suppose to be due, men as con.
temptihle as they are miserahly
useless.
The fact is, this is a very busy
world, IA bit selfish if you will, TOO
thoroughly absorbed in various in
ttrests to think much about indi-
vidual men, old or young. The on
ly thing that gives significance to
us in this world is industry, fidelity
and work.

Symptoms Of Diseased Liver.

DAM in the right side, under the
l edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
DRY, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains Of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
