Happiness.

The foundation of all happiness is health
a man with an imperfect digestion may be a
millionaire, may be the husband of an angel
and the father of half dozen cherubs, and yet
be miserable if he be troubled with dyspepsia,
or any of the disorders arising from imperfect
digestion or sluggish liver. DR.. Pierces
Pleasant PuTgative Pellets are the safest and
surest remedy for these morbid conditions.
Being purely vegetable, they are perfectly
harmless.

l. Do not permit anger to wax hot. There
is righteous Indignation becoming even to
Cody man. No one can justify himself in
rage Every exhibition of unrestrained temper
is harmful, undignifed, reproach to the
Church, violation of Gods laws, belittling
and weakening of the victim, more injurious
to the subject than to the object. 1t was right
of Moses to be exceedingly stirred up and to
manifest very evident disapproval Of Aaron's
weakness and Of the peoples idOlatrous ten
denotes. He did right to manifest such ener-
getic opposition to the whole wicked demon
stration.
g Rebuke the evil. Criticism in a right
spirit is a friendly act, and often duty. Mo-
| SEES took Aaron to do for not refusing to COM
promise the true religion. Aaron was to take
the place of Moses, and to act as he might sup
pose Moses would in any given case. He
lacked the qualities of the hero He was want

SENATOR GIBSON, of Louisiana, ably
defended his State from the aspersions
cast by the resolution Of "Little Billy"
Chandler proposing an investigation
into the State election. Mr.. Gibson
called attention to the fact that no citi-
zen OF Louisiana had ever petitioned
to have this investigation made. He
also alluded to the fact, which has be-
come notorious, of these Investigations
always being proposed just before an
important Congressional or Presiden-
tial election is to be held. In the last
allusion the Senator struck at the
heart of the bloody shirt business. 1t
is always brought to the front just be-
fore election time in the hope that it
will help to arouse sectional feeling in
the North and make votes for the Re.

The circular in question was sent to
the commandments of arsenals and ar

line of civil service reform, as it in
structed the various commanders to
so regulate employing and discharging
of employees as 70 divide them about
