ADanxerou. Torpor.


 Torpor or inactivity of the kidneys is se- riously dangerous to those organs, since it is 1he precedent of diseases winch destroy their substance and endanger life. This sluggish ness may be overcome by stimulating them, not excessively, but moderately an effect pro- duced by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, gen. eral invigorant and slterative, possessing di- uretic properties of no common order. The impetus which this admirable medicine gives to their evacuative function counteracts any tendency to congesh n which may exist in their tissues. Both they aud their associate organ the bladder are invigorated as we'll as gently stimulated by the Bitters, which exerts kindred influence upon the stomach, liver and bowels, and by strengthening the system, enables it to withstand malarial epidemics, to which, when exposed, it might otherwise sue cumb.

The Beggar ChiLd,s Charity.

The following little story IS touch ing one, and the hero thereof is we'll known young gentleman of this city: He has been somewhat wild in his habits in the past, but for four months he had abstained from drink and spent his evenings at home. One evening, three weeks ago, he went out calling, and some one gave him glass of wine. This aroused the sleeping fiend, and he went off on Q grand carouse. For three days he lost all mastery over himself, and scarcely knew where he was. On the morning of the fourth day he was comparatively sobered up. He wander ed into the reading room of one of our hotels, where he was well known, and sat down and stared moodily into the street. Presently little girl of about ten years came in and looked timidly around the room. She was dressed in rags, but she had sweet, intelligent face that could scarcely fail to excite sympathy. There were five persons in the room, and she went to each, beg ging. One gentleman gave her five cent piece, and she then went to the gentleman spoken of and asked him for a penny, adding: "I haven't had any thing to eat for whole day" The Bcuticmdu WdS tll OuL OI nuuOT, Auu u6 said grossly: Don't bother me; go away! I haven't had anything to eat for three days" The child opened her eyes in shy wonder and stared at him for moment, and then walked slowly toward the door. She turned the knob and then, after hesitating few seconds, she turned quickly and walked straight up to him who had spoken so ill., naturedly, and gently laying the five cents she had received on his knee. said with tone of true girlish pity in her voice, If you haven't had any thing to eat for three days you take this and go and buy some bread. Perhaps can get some more somewhere else" The young fellow blushed to the roots of his hair, and lifting the miniature sister of charity in his arms he kissed her two or three times in delight. Then he took her to the persons in the room and to those in the corridors and the office, and told the story and asked contributions, giving himself all the money he had with him. He succeeded in raising over $40, and sent the little kindly hearted one on her way rejoicing. - itts6s0.gh Telegraph.

Ventilation of CupbOards.

The ventilation of cupboards is one of those minor matters that are frequently overlooked in the erection of houses, while the want of a thorough draught is apt to make itself unpleasantly appar- ent to the smell. The remedy of the defect is, however, very timple; if pos the door; when the wall of the closet cannot be perforated, bore holes freely in tho door top and bottom. To prevent dampness, with the accompanying un- pieasantness and injurious effects of mildew in cupboards, tray of quick. lime should be kept, and changed from time to time as the lime becomes slack. ed. ThiH remedy will also be found useful in safeS or imminent rooms, the damp air of which is often destructive to valuable deeds and other contents.
