THE TRUE WAY TO INYIGoRATE

THE TRUE WAY TO INYIGORATE.
4 The true way to inYiserate feeble system is to
infuse activity into the operations Of the stomach,
that wondrous alembic In which the food is trans
muted into the constituents of blood, the chief ee-
mt Mt Of our vitality. Hoste.ter's Stomach Bittcrs,
because 1t accomplishes this end, is greatly to be
preferred to many socalIed tonics, useful indeed as
appetiz rs, but imperative as aids 10 digestion and
assimilation. This sterling cordial, while It invis-
crates The stomach, BEAUTIFULLY stimulates the liver,
bowels and kidneys, nsuring the escape through The
regular channels Of efete and useless matter thrown
off by the system, which is thus purified as well as
inyigorated by 1t. Its tonic influence Is made
manifest by an increase OF vital energy and more
active and regular discharge of every physical fuuc
ton and it has the fur her effect OF rendering the
system inassailable By maarlal epidemics.

On Monday next, Institute Hall will
be occupied by the much talked of
midgets-those two famous little crea-
lures now creating such a pronounced
sensation in Washington, where they are
in the fourth week Of their engagement.
They are no doubt the most extraordi-
nary couple that ever existed. The
marvellous attractive power of these tiny
beings is apparent from the following
editorial cut from Syracuse, n. Y, ex-
change
"We deem it a pleasure to commend
the entire party to the press, wherever
they may go. In every way, shape and
manner, the two little creatures are all
that their advertisements represent them
to be, and during the three weeks they
have been on exhibition in this city,
they have drawn to their entertainments
the best classes of our leading citizens.
The show is a peculiar and popular one,
because it has no equal or duplicate on
the face of the globe. Each levee has
been crowded-ladies and children pre-
dominating Shy large IN jority,' while a
liberal portion of the vast audiences have
been made up of divines, physicians and
scientists. The attractive fascination of
this peculiar enter ainment is due largely
to its novelty and its remarkable popu-
lari,y, verified by the fact that it has
drawn more (in totaD than all the COM
binatlons that have visited our city dur
ing the past two weeks"

npOrtamt To Pensioners.

Under the new Pension law, the Phil
adeiphia pension HI ce, which Is the head
quarters for all that portion OF the Sta'e
east of the Susquebanna river, will pay
out some S2,500,C00. This Department
contains about 10 600, of whom 5000 are
in Philadelphia. Payments will COM
mence as soon as possible.
BY former laws pensioners were given
five years from the date OF their discharge
to make application; il not made within
that time, the pension only commenced
from the time the last evidence was fur
nished. Thus, if soldier was discharged
IN 1865 and made application in 1871, the
pension commenced only with the last
named year; by the passage of the present
bill the applicant drews his pension from
the date OF d scharge.

ute the dead are come aud cast into dis
mai pit. Mercy comes with fearful eyes,
bearing sovereign balm for every
wound, and implores admission to the
scene of woe. ~ canpot let you in", says
Justice. "The inhabitants have rsbelled
against the Great King, and they must
suffer the penalty of His broken law"

aids, who cry aloud as they go: "Ho all
We that thirst, come to the waters. All
who drink that living water and battle in
tnat limpid stream are made whole of
whatsoever disease they have" Out OF
the river arises a shining mist like the
morning sun, and through 1t the spirits

females meet and embrace. Mercy, the
genius Of christianity, salutes Cornclia

song: mercy and truth are met togeth-
er, righteousness and peace have kissed
each other. Truth shall spring out of the
earth, and righteousness shall look down
from Heaven"
