The Art Of Getting Vigorous

Is comprised in one very simple

No elaborate system of dietetics is
needed. If you lack vigor, use
Systematically that pleasant promo
ter of it, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. If you take this hint, and do
not commit any excuses, there is
no reason why you should not gain
in strength, appetite and weight -
Hosts of whilom invalids are to-
day building foundation for years
Of vigorous health with this sound
and thorough renovator of a dilapi-
dated physique and falling energy.
Dyspepsia is eradicated by it, and
the constitution fortified against
disorders to which, if it were ex.
posed, it must surely succumh-
notably malarial fever. Rheuma-
tism, inactivity Of the kidneys and
bladder, nervousness, and their va
rious symptoms, disappear when it
is used with persistency, not aban-
doned after a brief and irregular

tire ground, many of them grand,
chaste, unique and beautiful. All
the private lots are separated, not
by fence or pailing but by granite
or marble blocks rising scarcely
more than a foot above the surface,
so there is nothing cumbersome or
to impede the view. Interspersed
throughout the lovely shaded grove
nice rustic seats are placed on which
the visitor may rest and mediate.
On one of these, in a lonely shaded
nook, where solemn silence reigns,
varied only with the warbling of
of birds. I find myself reposing
after wandering delightfully."- for
hours, and the rest in this great
delicious retreat is refreshing. The
scene and its surroundings excite to
deep and reverential thought, re-
calling to memory that most touch
ing poem in the language, viz
"Gray's Elegy in Grave Yard"
doubtless familiar to most Of your
readers-how true but sad
"Man wants but little here below
Nor wants that little long"
Did your space admit, I could
furnish some interesting statistics of
this most interesting sport. They
were derived from the polite gate
keeper of the cemetery, who sub
mitted to my inspection handsome
illustrated volume containing a full
history thereof since it was incorpo-
rated by act of the Legislature in
1852. Its capital stock paid in,
$4,000, is divided into shares of
$500 each. Amongst its trustees
and managers are the names of the
most substantial, the elite of the
CRY, and Judging from appearances
most all wisely managed it is. The
care and devotion paid to the dead
may be cited as evidence of the re-
finement and christian spirit of the
living-by this test the Memphians
can proudly point to Elmwood
cemetery.
I have sad accounts of the par
tial destruction of the cotton crop
Rapides from long continued rains.

misery loves company, but of what
avail can it be to the miserable
