A Word to the COrpulent.

Instead of regarding obesity as an abnormal con-
dition, many people have enormously considered
it as an evidence of health, and any agent that
duces fat is therefore at once suspected of being
ton that fat is an evidence of health 1t is not
prising that they should, very naturally fall into
the error of surprising that an agent possessing
properties capable of reducing corpulency would
prove injurious to the health. Reasoning, how
ever, from the rational basis, that an undue depo-
sition of fat, constituting obesity, is not healthy
but morbid condition. 1t is quite as natural for
us to arrive at the opposite conclusion, which is
sustained by experience and observation, l. e. that
the reduction of fat in cases of corpulency is in
variably followed by an improvement of strength,
spirits, and physical comforts. Adams Anti-Fat
will reduce fat person from 2to pounds week.

Can 1t be that thou art gone;
To return to earth no more, III
To greet us with those happy smiles,
Oft seen by us before?
Thineseyesa are closed thy pulse moves not
Nor do we hear thy breath;
What means this sudden stiffness?
They tell me 1t is death.
Why was 1t that deaths angel came,
To visit thee so soon?
To call thee from thy loved ones,
To the dark and silent tomb?
Twas not in spring times joyous hours,
Nor in the summer months of flowers,
But when the winter winds were high;
When the storm clouds gathered nigh;
Twas then the hand of death too soon,
Consigned this loved one to the tomb.

CLERK OF THE COURT OF APPEALs-The
Westminster Adgocate says:
We learn that our Democratic friends in
Frederick county will present the name of
Hon. Noah Bowlus to the State Convention
as candidate for Clerk of the Court of APP
peals. Mr.. Bowlus is a prominent member of
the bar, an earnest and influential Democrat,
and popular with the people. 1t is thought
if he was placed on the State ticket it would
give such strength to the local ticket as to
carry it through triumphantly. This, indeed,
would be a glorious result. for the Democrats
of that county have rallied manfully year af-
ter year, and are deserving of success.
