Too Mucb SIeen.

The effects of too much sleep are not less signal than those arising from its privation. The whole nervous system becomes blunted, so that the muscular energy is enfeebled, and the sensations, and moral and intellectual manifesto tions are obtunded. All the bad effects of inaction become developed; the func- tions are exerted with less energy; the digestion is torpid, the exertions are di- unfinished, whilst, in some instances, the secretion of fat accumulates to an inor- dinate extent. The memory is impaired, the powers of imagination are dormant, and the mind falls into a kind of hebe- tude, chiefly because the functions of the intellect are not sufficiently exerted, when sleep is too prolonged or too often repeated To sleep much is not neces- sarily to be a good sleeper. Generally they are the poorest sleepers who remain longest in bed; .. c., they awaken less refreshed than if the time of arising were earlier by an hour or two. While it is true that children and young people re- quire more sleep than their elders, yet it should be the care of parents that over- indulgence be not permitted. V here the habit is for children.to to lie in bed un- til eight or nine in the morning, the last two hours, at least, do not bring sound, dreamless sleep, where the hour for re- turing is eight or nine P. M., but are spent in :. dozing,' and, in fact, such ex- cess cannot fail to insure the harmful results described by the authority quoted. What is called laziness, among children is, in very many cases, disease, and is largely due to this, as well as the other causes mentioned. that undermine the foundations of health,- Golden Rule.

 "Well, I should say the poor, silly thingr I should also say the sap-head, the shallow pate, the crazy, crack brained imbecile," continued grand father, in a towering rage.

ALWAYS Busy.

The more man accomplishes the more he may. An active tool never grows rusty. You always find those men who are the most forward to do good, or to improve the times and manners, always busy. Who start our railroads and steamboats, our machine shops and our manufactoriesp Men of industry and enterprise. As long as they live they keep at work doing something to benefit themselves and others. Itis just so with a man who is benevolent--the more he gives the more he feels like giving. We 70 for activity-in body, in mind, in everything. Let the gold grow not dim, nor the thoughts become stale. Keep all things in motion. We would rather that death should find us scaling noun tain than sinking in a mire- -breasting a whirlwind than sneaking from cloud.

The Blessing of Strong Nerves

Is recoverable, not by the use of mineral se- datives, but by recourse to effectual tonic treatment. Opiates and the like should only be used as auxiliaries, and then sparingly as possible. Vigorous nerves are quiet ones, and the most direct way to render them so is to reinforce the vital energies. That sterling in- vigorant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, will be found all-sufficient for this purpose, since it entirely removes impediments to thorough di- gestion and assimilation of the food, so that the body is insured it's due amount of nourish- ment and consequently of stamina. Rheu- matic tendencies and affections of the kidneys and bladder are also counteacted by the Bit ters, which is besides a pleasant medicinal stimulant, infinitely purer than the raw excit ants ol commerce, which react injuriously upon the nervous system.

 The Presidents message vetoing the, Army Appropriation bill first considers the merits of the political sections of tie bill, and declares that the f'rider" clauses, ii adopted, will de- privc the civil authorities of the United States of all power to keep the peace at Congressional elections, by prohibiting them from employing any adequate civil force for the purpose If these sections are repealed, those authorizing supervisors of elections become nugatory. Ii then proceeds to consider the form of the bill, aud says that the disputed sections are alto- gether foreign to an appropriation bill, and are vicious. Both parties have resorted to this practice, but this, the message says, makes it no less reprehensible. The chief objection is, however, the coercive spirit manifested. This is a grave error, according to the President, and must be resisted in the interest of the balance of our system of government He says on this point that the new doctrine, if maintained, will result in a consolidation of unchecked and despotic power in the House of Representa- tiyes. A bare majority will become the gov ernment This plan strikes from the Constitu- ton the qualified negative of the President. It places not merely the Senate and Executive but the Judiciary also under the coercive dic- tation of the House, which may decide on the same principle any other act of Congress, 8 treaty nomination or appointment to office, or a decision of the Supreme Court. In conclu- sion he urges the House to return to the wise and wholesome usage ot the earlier days of the republic.

Many hundred thousand dollars are annually expended by ladies tor artificial " appliances to hide the shrunken and wasted form, or the sallow skin, blotches, or liver spots, which are due to female weakness, dyspepsia, torpid liver and constipation.

It readily corrects those weaknesses and diseases upon which debility and cancellation depend. It cures dyspepsia by toning up the system, and when used in con- nection with Dr. Pierces Pleasant Purgative Pellets, speedily overcomes all irregularities of the liver and bowels No "bloom of youth" no "beautifer of the complexion" can i'm part such permanent beauty of face and form as Dr. Pierce's health-giving Favorite Pre- scriptiOn,
