NATURE TO THE REscUE.-A young
man visits his sweetheart, He soon
perceives that she is becoming pale,
feeble, lifeless, cross, fretful and unfit
for anything. She can't eat a hearty
meal, she can't sleep soundly, she can't
laugh heartily, she has become rather
melancholy and dull, she has lost her
brilliant wit and sparkling eye, she
complains of headache, futtering of the
heart, etc. His visits soon became few
and far between, Poor girl. A married
gentleman's wife is nearly always down
with some complaint; she growls and
scolds and frets; she can't walk up a
hill, nor ascend flight of steps; she is
suffering every day !; she is thin, weak
and feeble, and half OF the time unable
to attend to her household duties. The
husband fails ia his duty. Poor woman.
There is remedy for all cases similar
to the above, which assists nature in
toning and building up the feeble and
tagging energies, it imparts vitality,
adds lustre to the eye. brilliancy to the
intellect, gladdens the heart and res
torres women to strength, health and
happiness. The remedy is known as
English Female Bitters, which is max
ing wonderful cures.

The work being ready for inspection,
the son OF the parsonage comes to the
studio; he examines critically the like
ness, and then says:
Gould you not, perhaps, more clearly
bring out his contempt for architecture
as q secondary art?"
At another time husband comes to
see the bust, made after death, of his
cherished spouse.
"Look carefully" says the artist. 'sit

any changes you desire"
The widower regards the bust with
deep emotion.
