THE TRUE WAY TO INyIGoRATE.-The
true way to invigorate a feeble system is to
infuse activity into the operations of the
stomach, that wondrous alembic in which
the TODD is transmitted into the constit.
uents of blood, the chief element of our
vitality. Hostetter's Stomach BitterS. be-
cause it accomplishcs this end, is greatly
to be preferred to many so called tonics
useful indeed as appetizers, but imperative
as aids to digestion and assimilation. This
sterling cordial, while it invigorates the
stomach, BEAUTIFULLY stimulates the liver
bowels, and kidneys, ensuring the escape
through the regular channels of ettcte and
useless matter thrown off 10y the system,
which is thus purified rs well as invigor-
atcd 10y it, Its tonic influence is soon
made manifest by an increase of vital
energy and a more active and regular dis
charge of every physical function, and it
has the further effect of rendering the
system unassailable by malarial cpidcmics.

"Gen. Shields once had a difficulty with
arations for duel. Shortly after his re-
turn from the Mexican war a newspaper
in Illinois, where he lived, published an
article that displeased him very much.
He called upon the editor and said it
was offensive, and insisted upon knowing
the name of the author. The editor asked
time to consider, and meanwhile consulted
Mr. Lincoln, informing him that the writ
er of the article was young woman.
'Oh III settle that said Lincoln. Tell
Shields am personally responsible for it.
This was enough for Shields, and he i'm
mediately challenged Lincoln to mortal
combat. Broadswords were chosen as
the weapons most likely to place them
on an equal footing The proceedings
were conducted with great secrecy, and
in order to have the amusement TO them
selves a brushwood copsc was chosen for
the encounter. But friends had followed
unobServed, and came up in time to catch
the belligcrants in the act OF clearing a
space for the fight by hcwing down the
bruShwood with their swords The ludi-
Crousness Of the thing was soon made ap-
parent, and the affair ended in good hu-
nor N. y. Sun.

Praise is nm Incentive 60 Effort.

Praise talent and beauty whenever you
find it; to some people it is the only incen-

If your child is pretty, let her know you
think SO, Many a girl has degenerated
into hateful old maid, because in her
youth it was impressed upon her mind that
She was plain and unattractive; so she
never made the effort TO dress prettily and
becomingly
AS rule those who have the greatest
gifts and talents are not the ones who are
the best satisfied with themselves. A lady
who thinks herself fine pianist will some
times render her presence almost unen-
durable by monopOlizing the piano and
keeping her more talented friends in the
shade.
How MANY weary housewives would be

praise?

DANGERS OF IMPURE ICE.

With new luxuries come new dangers.
A generation ago it was rarely that men
were blown to pieces by steam boiler ex-
plosions, and two generations ago such a
thing was unheard Of. The frequency Of
this class of disasters lessons in no wise
the use of steam, and small percentage
of people who associate themselves with
steam power get blown up or blown to
pieces every year.
Ice, which was introduced into use as a
luxury, has now become very general
necessity. In a sanitary point of view it
is undoubtedly, on general principles, a
great blessing. Properly used it tones
down the torrid heat of summer and
serves to protect the system from the
violent shock Of the two extremes OF heat
and cold. But we are cautioned annual
Iy against the excessive use of ice water
as beverage. 1t is said to be provoca,
tive of infammations and conge8ticns,
and too much iced whisky is said to be
apt to engender moral and mental con
gestions and other disturbances, and con
clusions against its use in this connection
are adduced by many modern philoso-
phers. These men would have no ice in
their whisky and no whisky in their

At first she felt it almost insupport-
able. l have heard her say that it
seemed at times as if she would have
given years of her existence to
be allowed to walk up and down
the room for a few minutes. The sensa-
ton was so insupportable. That craving
desire of the body for what it is in want
of-be it water, be it bread, be it rest, be
it change of posture-so dreadful is its
urgency. The most abominable tortures
men have in their wickedness invented
are founded upon this fact; torturcs that
render the black history of inquisitors
still blacker; and here it was in one at
least of its numerous forms, daily inhict-
ed upon a set of helpless young women,
by person who thought herself perfect
ly justifiable, and whose conscience never
pricked her in the least.
Such is negligent moral habit.
OH the delight at meal-times, to spring
up, l was going to say, meant to get up,
for there was no spring left in these poor
stifiened frames. Oh! the delight when
the eye of that superintendent was no
longer watching the busy circle, and her
voice calling to order any one who burst
just to raise head and pause in the un-
intermitting toll. Oh the delight to get
up and come to breakfast, or dinner, or
tea.
They had notmuch appetite when they
came to their meals, to be sure. There
was only one thing they were always ready
to enjoy, and that was their tea. That
