An Tmnnrtant Fact

The voluntary testimony of thousands established
beyond all doubt fact of vital importance to the
SICK and debitated, viz, that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is absolute specific for remittent and p-
termittent fever, dyspepsia, constipation, bilious
ness mental depression sleeplessness chronic darr
hoea, and all diseases of the stomach, liver and bow
els, The unmedicated stmulants usually prescribed
IN these cases only aggravate the symptoms, instead
OF removing them. The Bitters, the contrary,
act as corrective and invigorant, without produc-
ing the unpleasant and dangerous consequences of
the old school practice. The action is mild and
soothing to the irritated stomach and boN els pro-
noting digestion and preventing natulence, nausea
headache and all internal irregularities. wine
gassfu before meals greatly assists digestion. The
convalescent may use them with great benefit, as
means of restoring strength and cheerfulness.

Touching Incident at a Fire,
[From the st. James Gazette.J


A correspondent sends us the follow
ing remarkable illustration of maternal
devotion among animals, which occurred
IN connection with the burning of Lus-
by's Music hall last Sunday night. Mr..
Crowder, one of the propriet0rs of the
hall, possessed favorite tabby and tor
toise-shell cat, which was we'll known to
the frequenters Of the hall. The cat
had family of four kittens, which she
was allowed to keep IN basket at the
rear Of the stage. Soon after the fire
was discovered the cat was seen dashing
about frantically. She several times at
tempted to make her way down the cor
ridor in the direction of the stage, but
each time she was beaten back by the
smoke. At last she seemed to pluck up
courage, and making another run she
was lost to view amidst the smoke.
Presently she reappeared with one of the
kittens In her mouth. This she laid
carefully down near to her masters feet
in the small hall, which the fire had not
touched. Again she rushed through the
smoke and again she reappeared with a
kitten, and this maneuver she repeated
the third time. She was now apparent
~ half blinded and choked by the smoke
she had passed through, and it was
thought that she would be content; but
she seemed unable to rest while she
thought one of her kittens was still in
danger; and. giving look at the little
struggling group on the floor, the cat,
evading someone who tried to stop her,
once more dashed down the corridor
toward the seething mass of flames,
which by this time had enveloped the
stage and the lower end OF the hall. Her
return was anxiously awaited, but she
did not come back. Afterward, when
examining the ruins, come of the fire
men came across the charred and black
ened remains of the mother and kitten
lying side by side, where the fire had
overtaken them.

BY MRS. E. V. WILSON.

Long years ago we launched our boat
On smiling waves in sunny weather;
Hope had the helm, love ruled the craft,
When you and set sail together.
Awhile we idly driftsd on;
The wind was fair, the tide was flowing;
g Small fear is there" we laughing cried,
90 That we viii weary Of our rowing"
But soon the sky was overcast,
The tide was out, the wind had shifted;
And though you bravely grasped the oars
Upon the rocks we nearly drifted,
You toiled to keep the craft adoat,
The helpless passengers tended,
All love, through all our voyaglng
How closely Joy and grief have pienoeo
The angels twin of Life and Death,
Stood often watching by our pillows;
And with our tesr-dimmad eyes we saw
Two loved ones sink beneath the pillows.
Still rides our bark upon the waves,
The wind is fair, the tide is flowing;
Bat ah the widening river tells,
Twill soon be time to cease our rowing.
We're drawing near that unknown sea,
Whose farther shores hid from our vision;
God grant that we at last may reach
A harbor in the fields Elysian.

Ruined by Gambling.
CFrom the Cincinnati Enquirer. >,

From the Clnclnnau EnQu1I er.
A few days ago a well-known young
business man of Brookville, Ind, came
to Cincinnati to buy goods. He was
formerly clerk in well-known house,
but by hard work and economy had
saved enough money to establish a bust
ness of bis own. On Monday night last
the young business man left his home
with 81, 200 in cash. This was all the
money he had In the world, and repre-
sented his savings of lifetime. 1t was
his intention to buy a stock of goods for
his store in BrookviIle, but the electric
lights of the city were too much for him,
and he had no sooner reached the city
before he was met by friend, and after
few drinks was invited into a we'll
known poker room on Race Street. The
young man was asked to play, and soon
consented to risk few dollars on the in
fatuating game. At first he won, but
soon the wind blew the other way, and
dollar by dollar it drifted away. After
playing ali night, the early dawn found
the young man with only $18 left. Dis
heartened with the loss of his money,
the young man began drinking, and for
the past few days has been wandering
the streets IN state of dependency.
His friends were advised of his condition
and came to the city last night and took
him home. The loss will prove disas-
trous to him and will ruin his business,

Is Your Blood Pure 2

For impure blood the best medicine known,
Scovills Sarsaparilla, or Blood and Liver
Syrup, may be implicitly relied on when every
thing else fails. Take it in the spring time,
especially for the impure secretions of the
blood incident to that season of the year; and
take 1t at all times for cancer, scrofula, liver
complaints, weakness, bOils, tumors, dwellings,
skin diseases, malaria, and the thousand ills
that come froaa impure blood. To insure a
cheerful disposition take Scovill's Blood and
Liver Syrup, which will restore the mind to its
natural equilibrium.
