man 10 his bed so completely units him
for business as dyspepsia. When the
stomach Is foul, the brain is always
muddy and confused and rs the cares
and anXieties Of life are a sufficient
burden Tor the organs of thought to
bear, without being tormented by the
miseries born Of Indigestion. IL is
highly desirable for the brains sake, as
well rs for the sake of every other port
ion OF the nystem, that the disOrdered
stomach should be restored with the ut
most dispatch TO a healthy, vigorous
condition. This object can always be
accomplished by course OF Hostetter's
Stomach Bigters, the purest and best Of

morbid humors through the bowels,

a Midnight Duel.

An old Confederate soldier relates a
curious incident occurring during the
march of Hills corps along the Shenan-
doah Valley, near the famous Luray
Gap. The parties were two young SOL
dicr>-one from Georgia and the other
from Mississippi-who had difficulty
at dance, both claiming the hand of a
village belle. The Georgian danced
with the lady, the Mississippan only
remarkiug that he expected to see him
after the dance. The following is tie
description of the fight, as relate by
the soldier:
when the dance was over TIE Geor-
gian was seen to seek the Missis9ippian,
and together they each called friend
from the crowd aud departed. When
outside. both claimed that an insult had
been passed which could only be wiped
ont in the blood of the other, and that n
duel To the death should be arranged al
once. \ full moon was just appearing
above the top of the surrounding forest,
aud | tell you this talk of blood In the
silence of the night WAS anything but
pleasant. No argument, LowcVer,
would avail with these men. So 1t was
arranged that the duel shOull take
place on top of the Blue Ridge, near the
center of the road that passes through
the gap; that the weapons should be
pistols at fifteen PAGES, and 10 fire at or
between the words 'one, two, three,
firing to continue until one or both
were dead.
The point was reached, the ground
measured of, and the men took their
posiiions without a tremor. The moon
shed its pale light down on a scene
never to be forgotten. 4 moment or
two and the silence wa. broken by the
signal. 'One, two, three At the word
'one' the report Of two pistols rang out
on the midnight air, but the principals
maintained their respective positions.
The Gcorgian's left arm was seen to
drop closer To the side, but the Missis-
,ippian was immoyable and still held
his pistol to the front Again pistol
shot was heard coming from the Geor-
gian, and the Mississippian still held
his position, but he did not fire. tn"
Georgian protested tha: he did not come
there to murder him, but no answer
was returned The Mississippian's Sec
ond approached his principal and found
him dead, shot through the eye on the
first discharge Of the weapons. Death
it seems, had been instantaneous, 50
much so as not even to disturb his equi'
librium. may forget some things, but
the midnight duel Oh the top Of a spur
Of the Blue Ridge, with its attendant
circumstances, is not one Of them"

ed at many different points in the neigh
borhOod with very excellent results.
Some years later DR.. Thomson made
4 still more intimate acquaintance with
these gentle destroycrs. He was living
at 'Abeih. on Mount Lebanon, when an
alarm WAS raised that incslculable
swarms OF young locusts were marching
up the valley towards the village. The
inhabitants turned out to endeavor, il
possible. TO turn aside their line Of
march. This they soon found TO be al
together futile. The whole face OF the
mountain was black with the closely
serried ranks, which advanced steadily
like a well-di>ciplined army. They were
ut the wingless stage, and Of the size Of
average Sras>hoppers. Nothing checked
their steady onward progress. Trenches
were dug, fires were kinJled, thousands
were slain Still fresh hordrS pressed
on in bewildering multitudes. Right
up the mountain they advanced, scaling
rocks aud walls, hedges and bitches,
the corpses Of the slain only served rs
bridges to facilitate the progress of the
new comers. Even when the foremost
ranks reached the palace Of the Emir
they did not turn aside 10 avoid its walls,
but climbed straight mp and went over
the other side. Thus they scaled every
house in the town, always going straight
ahead. regardless of all obstacles. II 1t
be true, AS the saying goes, that
straightforward makes the best run
ner" in life, we might, perchance, find
worse examples than the locustS. Eop-
ing at least TO be able To protect his own
little garden, DR.. Thomson hired a mum
Der of laborers TO keep up fires, and TO
remain on watch, beating the locusts of
the walls with branches of trees. For
some hours this struggle was kept up;
but as the irresistible army continued
to advaLce in ever-incrcasing multi
tude, they gave up the effort in despair,
and surrendered to the couquerors.

WILD OATS.
Sow your wild oats thick, my boy,
Nor ,hg,,l- N hn,,t fba roaming

Sow your wild oats thick, my boy,
Nor think about the reaping,
For though you SOW the seeds ofjoy,
You'll get a crop of weeping.
Don't think about the reaping now.
When all is joy and gladness,
With health aglow on cheek and brow,
For 'tis no time for sadness.
The merry dance Of life is on,
It's music sweet, enhancing.
Now calls for you, my noble SON
Pitch in and do your dancing.
For as the years go dashing by,
Your limbs will lose their vigor,
And younger feet will swiftly ny
To crowd you from the figure.
The wine cup there awaits your lip
'Tls filled with sweetest pleasure;
But as the sparkling drop you sip,
Forget with what good measure
Some day you'll gather in its fruits
or sorrow. pain and trouble
A harvest rich with poisoned roots
OF burning snares and stubblc.
The wreaths Of peariy smoke that rise,
While nerve and brain are steady
Like clouds will gather in the skies,
With thuuderbolts already
To strike at every vital part.
Your manly strength to shatter;
But then IL makes you look so smart,
The consequence don't matter.
Yes. SOW your wild oats thick. my boy
since you must do the reaping;
The seeds you SOW to-day with JOY
You'll gather in with weeping.
The harvest time to you will prove
The truth of what I'm showing;
Heed not the voice that speaks in love
Go on and do your sowing.
