Unprineiprea Performance.

A citizen who should be preparing
himself for the unknown life beyond
the grave instead Of being up to suct
tricks, removed the setting from his
big gold ring the other day, leaving
marked and decided vacancy. lie
gets on street car, holds his hand
50 the ring must be seen. and pretty
soou a man bends forward and re-
marks:
Excuse me, sir but you have lost
the set from your ring"
$50 | have" replies the owner. as
be looks around on the floor.
Every passenger began to peer
around, and the man who makes the
discovery finally asks:
"Was it valuable 20
at was g thousand dollar dia.
mond,"
There is another movement on the
part Of passengers Some looks along
the seat, and under it, and some make
dive for pearl buttons and other
small objects.
When did you miss it ?" asked
the first man as the search geakens
little
"A year and half ago, when
was attending camp meeting in Hi
noise -
Then every passenger straightens
up, each eye looks into vacancy, and
not the faintest smile can be seen On
any face.
A person boarding the ear jus.
then would wonder what great man
in the city had just died, and if the
passengers were on their way to take
sad farewell look at the remains.

BRIEF ADVICE to Dyspepties.

Avoid pork, fat meats, grease, gFa-
vies, pastries, spices. cOnfeetionaries,
tea, coffee, alcoholic drinks, beer,
malt liquors of all kinds.
Let your food be plain, simple aud
wholesome-chisay fruits aud vege-
tables.
Let your bread be made ct un60lt-
ed wheatmeal.
Take your meals regular If hree.
let the supper be very sparl1g
Eas slowly. lightly, mast at ,hor-
ougbly. Beware Of bot food and
drinks.
Avoid luncheous By all means.
Exercise freely 10 The open air I;
never sit moping, bat turn your mind
entirely from your disease and trou-
bles.
Keep regular hours rise early
exercise halt an hour gently before
breakfast.
Bsthe frequently, keep the ska
clear; the pores open
Keep your feet dry let the soles
OF your shoes be thick, that 10 damp
ness may penetrate them
Keep your sitting and sleeping
rooms well ventilated. Impure air is
enough to kill well person-it kills
thousands
Wear bose fitting garments, es-
pecially about the regions Of the
lungs.
Bsnisb the pipe, qnid and snuff
box as the plague, forever aud for
ever. OF all the dyspepsia breed
ers aud promoters, nothing exceeds
The Indian weed
Keep away from the apothecary /;
avoid ell quaek medicines and nos
trums
Finally, keep a conscience void Of
offence, pray God to forgive your
past sins, glatt0ny and intempersnce;
for no one who lives temperately, as
be should live, will ever be troubled
with dyspepsia. The violation Of law
cries out for yengeanee-and ven
geance it bss sooner or later.
