The causes that produce this serious
trouble are various. Not infrequently
the tendency to it is inherited with ii
delicate nervous organization, and
OverwOrk will increase it. 1t is difficult
for the sufferer to know just how much
work, mental and physical, may he ac-
cOmplished, without producing the un-
pleasant result. For one SO constituted
Il most watchful care becomes lmpOr-
tant, and the most interesting employ
ment must he turned away from at the
first sense of WEAKNESS. An earnest
conversation with friend exciting
your sympathy, the demand upon your
strength made by an invalid, reading
an article that stimulates the mind to
intense thinking, may, any of them,
cause you to spend weary, wakeful
hours and lead to severe exhaustion on
the morrow. BY watchfulness you may
learn to spare yourself the over fatigue,
as duty which Others may rot under
stand the reason for. You may avoid
the conversation and the book at eve
ming, seeking them at an earlier hour
when the choice lies with you. But
with every care you are liable to suffer
from causes you can neither fOresee nor
prevent. Sometimes Indigestion will
awaken you at tie small hours, and
take revenge for some very slight de
parture from the careful diet you uni
formly adopt. Recently it has been
discovered that many persons lose
hours of sleep because they are in need
of nOurishmcnt. That the fast is too

The writer, after trying various pre-
scriptiOns with little benefit, was at last
so fortunate as to receive such advice.

Thou too, art gone to another world
That is near, Yet far away
And thine eyes can bear the dazzling light
OF the radiant, endless day.
Maybe that the air elOse-wrapped around
Our earth is the barrier line
That only thy sight may pierce to us
As stars down the darkest mine.
We gaze at night on a star-ht sky
But, ahl who could ever dare
Approach the bounds of the spirit world
Through that rare, cold, upper airi
And though the heaven lies far from earth,
1t touches ON every side
A the little Isle we call our home
Is washed by the oceaa tide
We heard not the voice that thy spirit knew
We saw not the beckoning hand
Nor caught the stir of the angel wings
Thou didst meet on the golden strand.
But though We mourn DER the parting here,
We know it's not endless pain;
And although the links have been severed wide
That they yet shall clasp again.
We know We can trust our SaviOur's care;
And His was the gentle hand
That led thee up from this misty vale
To a bright and a better land.

with which the population OF Washington IS in

SATURDAY, Dec. i6-P ",

The stock speculation this morning opened steady
as to figures, but tame in character-a marked con-
trast to the seeming excitement and buoyancy which
noticeable i'm Yesterdays final transactions
Here and there, particularly IN Delaware Laoka-
wanna and Western Central Of New jersey Read
ing and Union Pacific. there was later speculative
brush. and some additional advances in prices for
such stocks were recorded. Such movements, how
ever, were exceptional and did not check
the general shrinkage in values which be-
gan with Yesterdays efforts 70 realize; and
as it turned out the stocks that were
the strongest in the early dealings were among the
weakest at the close of the day. The volume Of bus-
ness shows further decline. it having been only
47545S shares to-day against j34 233 shares yester
day. The anticipated reorganization Of the ST. Paul
and Omaha directory was made public in good time,
and the usual quarterly dividend of 13I per cent on
the preferred stock was announced; but it did not
prevent decline in the prices Of those stocks nor
keep the closing figures from being near to the low
est of the day. Western Union was feature, be-
cause with only moderate amount of transactions
its price fell from S30s TO S13s but that stock was
specially affected by the report that
the State of Pennsylvania had begun
SUIT against the company because
of several alleged acts in violation of the laws Of
that State. Taking the days operations a
whole. they fully establish THE TRIBUNE's theoryof
the character of the late advance in prices but it
is not TO be supposed that the operators who have
been instrumental in making the advance have
sufficiently distributed their holdings TO let the
market further decline without first using extraor-
binary efforts to rally prices and restore the conf
dence among the average traders which tonight ID
badly shattered.
Government bonds were dull and were barely
steady after decline of Is per cent in the bids for
the Is and 42s Annexed are the closing quotations.
