loves rght-the last one friend would 60 to tor an
improper favor but to whom he could always CON-

Major Clarke accepted clerkship of the lowest grade

acute legal mind and executive ability made him TOO

About the time OF his being commissioned by fres',

that he had been carriage manu1acturer IN NewporJ
lawyer but his of Justice reyolted at continuing
in profession in which he would have TO defend the

pleasure of his relatives and friends he decided to seek
another vocation. In that dissatisfied MOOD he met

liberal overtures to Mr. Clarke, which were accepted:
In the midst OF prosperous business the war broke

He was commissioned as captain IN the second khode

In the battle OF Bull Run, Va on July L. 1851. In
this battle he had his haversack, caneen aud other
traps shot away In the fall Of that his regiment
was on Warwick Run, creek In the southerly part OF
Virginia far from Bull Rum His company had an
outpost on the creek which separated them from the
Confederates Captain Clarke ordered his men not to
return their fire. Soon an officer stood out the
opposite bank and asked the of their silence

for, as a result OF his first experiment, he

Inaction Fraught Win Danser,

Inaction of the kidneys and bladder
is fraught with danger. Renal diseases
OF the most stubborn and fatal character
have this initial symptom. To disregard
it is to invite them. Hostetter's Slom-
ach Bitiers have the special quality of
stimulating urinary secretion aud dis
charge to degree consonant with
health and no further. 1t is not an ex-
citant of the organs, like the unmedi-
Gated stimuli Of Commerce. 1t simply
arouses them when their activity and
vitality are impaired. This stimulating
and tonic action Of the Bitters likewise
exerts upon the bowels, the liver and
stomach. 1t averts renal disease, cures
dyspepsia, prevents and remedies fever
and ague, and removes biliousness and
constipation. No finer tonic exists, and
to persons with tendency to govt, it
strongly recommends itself, as it is a
fine depurent OF the blood.
