Starvation as a Cure tor Dyspepsia.

Starvation as a Cure tor Dyspepsia.
Many lyspep,ics have completed che
ruin Of their stomachs by starvation.
Observing that, for the time being. II
affords relief, they conclude that in this
they are to ind q cure. But after 9
while they learn, to their sorrow, that
the stomach With almost nothing 10 do
accommodates itself to this nothing, aud
loses the power OF digestion.
An intelligent lady said:
"About a wear ago I began to suffer
from heartburn and constipation. A
friend advised me to gn without supper,
and take only a smsll qaan,ity OF bread
and baked apples for breakfast and din
ner. At frst I was delighted with the
change. All my nervousness and low
spirits passed away, and thought had
discovered an important secret. After
a time | found that even the small qusn
,itv had been ea'ing was too much,
and I reduced it still further. Within
three or four months my stomach and
nv whole body became so weak that !
found the least increase in the quantity
Of food, or any. unusual exercise, pro-
dnced gteat weakness and suffering in

and gradual increase in the quantity
and strength of her nutriment.
The tone Of the stomach, like the tone

exercise. While it is the common thing
TO find dyspepsia produced by excessive
and judicious eating, it certainly is not
very uncommon to meet cases ofdyspep-
sia produced by starvation.
There is q curious fact about digestion

FRENCH IDEAS OF WOMEN.

Women Is more constant in hatred
than in love.
Woman conceals only what she doe.
NOT know.
One must be woman to know how
to revenge.
Woman have no worse enemies than
themselves.
Most women curse sin before en-
bracing penitence.
Friendship between women is only o
suspension OF hostliities.
Women who have not fine teeth only
laugh with their eyes.
Women never weep more bitterly than
when they weep for spite.
When woman is no longer attractive
she ceases TO be inconstant.
Women ask if q man is discreet, as
men ask If a woman is pretty.
The most chaste woman may be the
nos, voluptnnus, if she loves.
When q woman cannot be revenged
they do as children do; they cry.

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
sult the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
,ars to Chicago. where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut single change of cars to Iowa,
R,usss, Nebraska, Texas. Minnesota.
&c. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Is
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to the saving Of much Of both as vel as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chpse tickets before having talk or re-

CHAPTER XIII.

MIR. Ersklne'S recovery was very gradual.
After such sharp illness, he could not be ex-
pected to regain his strength at once. The
first time that Sophy saw him-which was in
company with Captain Russell, shortly after
he had been allowed to sit up-she was shock
ed at his altered appearance, and her emotion
involuntarily showed itself in the expression
of her face, and in the tremor of her voice as
she spoke to him.
81 am nearly WELL now," he said with his
old, kind smile, in answer to her inquiry as to
how he felt. 81 shall soon be about again."
"Not quite as soon as you think" said the
old Captain, sagely. "You will be for some
weeks shaky on your pins, my friend. They
have been nearly knocked from under you,
remember
ssIn week shall be out, probably,'' re-
joined The invalid.
every well wait and see."
81 should be bored to death, shut up here
for as long time as you seem to expect"
said Mr.. Erskine, with touch of fretfulness,
not unnatural under the circumstances. He
was in general model patient, but in the
weakness of convalescence he could not be ex-
pected to bear all things like a saint.
''We'll do all we can to cheer your soli-
tude, said the Captain, kindly. II don't know
that I'm very entertaining companion; but
Sophy can come over and keep you company,
as she used to; read to you, and so on. Won't
you, Soply ?"
Sophy, greatly embarrassed, blushed deeply
and murmured some incoherent reply. Mr..
Erskine looked at her, and in the one brief
glance she ventured to give him she fancied
that she read a panied look on his face.
"Sophy is much occupied with the care of
her mother" he said, gravely. cit would be
asking too much, to desire to impose the care
of another invalid upon her." And then he
quietly turned the conversation into another
channel.
Sophy felt grieved and self-reproached. She
could not bear that he should think her cold,
or Indifferent to his comfort and after his
