Is impaired to the kidneys and bladder by
Hostetter's Bitters which is most useful in
overcoming torpidity of thosk organs. Besides
infusing more activity into them, this excel
lent tonic endows them with additional vigor
and enables them the better to undergo the
wear and tear of the discharging function inn
posed upon them by nature. Moreover, as they
are the channel for the escape of certain impu-
rites from the blood, ii Increases their useful
ness by strengthening and healthfully stimu-
lating them. In certain morbid conditions OF
these important organs, they fall into slug
gish state, which il the usual precursor OF
disease. What then can be Of greater service
than medicine which impels them to greater
activity when slothfui? No maladies are more
perilous than those which affect the kidneys
and a medicine which averts the peril should
be highly esteemed.

A STERLING OLD POEM.

Who shall Judge man from his manner,
Who shall know him by his dresss
Paupers may be fit for Princes,
Princes At for nothing else.
Crumpled shirt and dirty Jacket
May beclothe the golden ore
Of the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vest can do no more.
There are streams of crystal nectar
Ever flowing out of stone;
There are purple beds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and overthrown;
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man, appraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Observation-Disclosures remember
That your meanest kinds are meni
Men of labor, men of feeling,
Men of thoughts. AID men of fame
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans ennohling name.
There are foam-em broidered oceans,
There are little wood-c1ad rills;
There are feeble nch-high saplinge,
There are cedars on the hills.
God. who counts by souls, not stations
Loves and prospers You and me;
For to Him all vague distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
Of the nations wealth and fame:
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same;
BY the sweat of others foreheads.
Living only to rejoice.
While the poor mans outraged freedom
vainly lifts its feeble dice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loneliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is sunny right;
God, whose worldwide voice is singing
Boundless love to you and me,
Links oppression. with it's titles,
But as pebbles in the sea.

kold Robbery iu Boston.

On Saturday I've we'll dressed young
men hailed a teamster at the Providence
Railroad station, Boston, and requested
him to transport small package for
them. The teamster consented, carried
the package and deposited it in the
third story Of building, accompanied
hy enc OF the men. The latter returned
to the street on some pret.xt, leaving
tae teamster alon. in the room. After
waiting some time in the room he be-
came suspicious and returned to the
street, when he found that the team,
truck and load, together with the man
who had accompanied him TO the room,
had disappeared. The load consisted
Of several large cases of merchandise,
consigned to several houses, and was
valued at abont $1,000.
After a protrac.ed search detectives
discovered the goods stored in a barn
in Cambridge, which had been hired
for the purpose. A watch was kept on
the baru in anticipation Of the return
Of the thieves, who appeared on Sun,

the presence Of the officers the thieves
drew revolvers and prepared to resist
arrest. A running fire then commenced,
which resulted in the wounding OF an
off Ger and the detention Of one of the
robbers. The other effected his escape.

ened, feeling very dull, and hardly
able to stand. He Immediately awak-
ened the family, all OF whom were very
sick az soon as they were awakened,
being taken with vomiting. The mat

Is no doubt but that WAS the cause OF

Women friends The very thought
makes me- grin. Women can be good
wives, good mothers; but friends : No
Why, whoever knew a woman who was
not quite willing to worm the most
cherished secrets from another woman q
soul simply to retail them again to the
next tea drinking caller ? And how they
Islander each other Out Of cowardice,
probably, they inevitably stab in the
back.
Men certainly slander each other as
much az women do, but there is diff
ference. When man las actually been
telling a disgraceful story Of another,
circumstances may compel him to cour-
tesy; but he never makes show OF
friendship. He will perhaps bow to the
person he has abused, but he does not
shake hands with him warmly, make
professions Of good feeling, invite him
to little supper, and walk arm in arm
about the city with him. When two
men are intimate you may feel conf
dent that they do not slander each
other. 1t is his enemy Of whom man
tells evil tales.
But women who have just robbed
another woman of her character, as far
as words can do 1t, will greet that other
woman with kiss, will ask her to lunch
will embrace her at parting, will not
be ashsmed to call her "drar."
The other day l walked down the
street behind three pretty girls. They
cooed and caresssd each other like SO
many turtle doves. At a corner they
parted. "Good. bye, DEAR" cried one.
"Good bye, sweetest, said another.
"Good bye, darling" said the third.
They kissed and vowed to see each
other on Saturday. Then one went
her way, and the other two walked on
together.
"How I hate that girl" said the one
who had called her "sweetest" as soon
as they were out OF earshot. "She's
perfectly detestable," replied the one
who had called her "darling." Then
they began to abuse her. AS far as |,
walking behind them, could judge, it
was because young man named Smith
had called her pretty and offered her
some atteLtion. But whatever the
cause, these are the facts, and that 1t
was no uncommon case observation con.

Henry Sitter is the name the young
man answered to when arraigned be.
fore a magistrate in Philadelphia, one
day last week, on the charge of steal
ing an overcoat from a church in th at
city. Sitler's mode of operating was
rather a novel one. He was in the
habit of going to different churches,
and in each one he managed to make
q favorable impression by his pious
airs, and II an opportunity offered he
would give his Christian experience
and exhort the brethren and sisters.
This was all done to divert attention
from his real cbject-theft-and there
is now no doubt but that he did a
thriving business in taking ov-rcoats
and umbrellas from the places hs thus
patronized. When arrested there was
found in his pockets lists Of the church
es he intended "workiEg." In default
Of bail he was committed to prison.

tended the Foundry Church, occnpy-
ing seat within the altar while Bish-
op Simpson preached a missionary ser
mon. After the collection was taken
at the close Of the sermon, and az the
congregation was about to bs dismiss
ed, an irrepressible brother rose and
proposed to be one of given number
to raise one hundred dollars to make
President Lincoln life director of the
missionary society. TIE proposition
was put, and brothers A, B and c re-
sponded glibIy. But the inevitable
pause finally came. Part OF the mon
ey was wanting. When the bishop
announced, "Who will take the bal
ances" the pause became slightly op
pressive. Then the tall form of Lin
coin was seen to rise, long, bony arul
was extended i,nploringly, and he said,
"Bishop, this is the first time | have

A special despatch from Newport, +

A special despatch from Newport, R
l., says:
The first accident in q submarine
dress which has occurred in these wa
ters took place this afternoon of Point
Judith. John Walters, the well'known
wrecker, went of early this morning td
the sunken Block Island mail packet
Thomas J. Lynch which sunk of tina,
place about two weeks ago for the pur-
pose of raising her. His diver, Horace
Manchester, 80 years Of age, went down
early i. the day, AMI apparently en-
deavored to make all the necessary AZ
rangements to tighten the wreck. No
thing was heard from him for some
time, and the persons on board the
wrecking schooner Young America Ie,
gan to get alarmed. The life line kept
in hands which vainly tried to feel the
least pnlsation, bat none was felt from
the unfortunate man who was eighty
four feet below, that being tho depth Of
water where the craft sank. After he
had been down about e-quarters Of
an hour he gave signal that he was
all right. In a few moments he wanted
more air, and then he signalled that he
was having too much. His Signals
were faithfully answered by Captain
Walters, who is known in all wrecking
companies between here and New York
as o man who understands his busi-
ness.
The revenue cutter Samuel Dexter,
hove in sight, and seeing the flag at
halfmast on hoard the Young America
bore down to her. She was Immediate
ly despatched tc this port for q diver,
gear and attendant, which was furnish
ed by Captain Ramsay, United States
Navy, commandSnt at the torpedo sta
tion. The diver, Augustus Feliess,
promptly volunteered to 60 down in
search Of the missing man. He was
soon submerged, but returned afier a
lapse Of about twenty minutes terribly
exhausted. He reported that he raw
the man suspended about five feet over
the sunken vessel, the air line having
been caught by hook in the boat. He
went down again and succeeded in dis
engaging the line. At last the lifsless
remains OF the diver were free, and as
soon as the signal was given they were
hoisted to the deck OF the vessel. The
body was brought here at encs by the
cutter and placed in the hands Of an
undertaken. The diver when he came
up the second time, was found to be
extremely exhausted. It is believed
that the deceased was engaged in TAX
ing out the ballast when the line sud
denly became entangled.
Captain Waters is Of the opinion
that the man, who went down with
selnc little misgiving, owing TO the
depth Of the water, became frightened
at some disarrangelnent, and died in a
lit. The face Of the man shows that he
died terrible death. His body vii!
be taken to the residence Of his wife
and only child, in Tiverton, to,mor-
row.
