~ American Marrying In Mexico.

Tor an American to marry in Mexico
is a somewhat serious business. lie
must he three times married, twice in
spanish and once in English, besides
having a public notice Of his intention
Of marriage placed on a bulletin board
for twenty days before the ceremony.
This is the law, The public notice can
he gotten around by the payment Of a
sum of money, but a residence Of 4
month is necessary.
! he three ceremonies are the contract
of marriage, the civil marriage-the
only marriage recognized by law since
ls5s-aud the usual but not obligatory
church service. The first two must take
place before a Judge, and in the presence
of at least four witnesses and the
American consul. The civil marriage is
the legal form of marriage. These cere-
monies are necessarily in spanish. Most
weddings are confirmed by a church
service

Infrmities beset us to which our youth
and maturity were strangers. Weakness
of the loins, rheumatic ailments, dyspep-
STA, loss Of appetite and unquiet sleep, are
among these. As a means Of counteract-
ing the infrmities of age, Hostetter S
Stomach Bitters is unrivalled. II quick
ems and enriches the sluggish and impov-
crushed circulation. begets a hearty appe-
lite and youthful relish for the food, and
enables the stomach to digest it, II
soothes and invigorates the nervous sys-
tenn and checks a tendency to rheuma-
tism. Its quoting action upon the great
sympathetic nerve, which connects the
stomach with the brain, results in the
speedy departure Of that restlessness by
night and disquictude by day, which are
the reflected manifestations of dyspepsia.
II is a most effectual antidote to the poi

Ihe value OF uome-Nai Game..

All games are made by some one, or
by a number Of persons. either at once
OF by slow growth, with practice and
various changes, notifications and ad-
ditions, so that there is no reason why
any one may not originate others As
good as the best in the market, and in
ono sense n home made game is much
more valuable to its originator or pos
SCISSOR than another which, in other re
spects, is equally good or better as an
original painting may be more valuable
than a printed copy Of "A much better
picture, because no II has a duplicate
of it.
The invention of games and social
amusements is as good mental exercise
as anything the schools offer, because it
requires the exercise of the inventive
faculties in the combination and adapta-
tion of knowledge already possessed. or
which must be hunted up for this pur-
pose. original thought in any direction
exercises the inventive faculties, an
the construction Of games, puzzles, II
grams, REFUSES, enigmas, etc, is one of
those exercises which is fascinating and
