A tonic is what nervous people require.
To impart strength into the nervous or
ganism is to insure its tranquility, pro
vided causes of unhealthful excitement
are avoided. A medicinal tonic that
like Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-com
mands the unqualified sanction of the
healing profession, and which institutes
general reform in bilious, dyspeptic
and debiltated condition of the system,
is surely entitled to d careful trial by IN
telligent people, capable of forming due
estimate of medicine, from emphatic
and often recorded professional evidence
in its behalf. Not only are the nerves
and stomach invigorated by the Bitters,
but the system is also endowed with un-
wonted power of resistance to influences
in air water or daily avocation subver-
sive of health. Prominently dangerous
among the first named of these is malaria,
against which HOstetters Stomach Bit,
ters affords q competent safeguard
Rheumatism and kidney troubles are also
prevented and overcome by it.

to walk in pride in rubber boots. The
naughty yet indifferent air with which the
rubber booted small boy will swash through

saw before him two midgets Of girls wearing
rubber boots beyond their years These little
girls were walking through the puddles in
their way with the evident pride OF conquer

SONG OF REVELRY.

" Far Down Thy Depths, Champagne"
Fill high your bowl with fusil oil!
With tannin let your cups be crowned
II strychnia gives relief to toll,
Let strychnia's generous juice abound
With oil of yitriol cool your brains,
Or, animated atoms brew:
And fill your arteries, hearts and veins
With glee-and nfusorial glue.
Ah-n-h! fragrant fume OF kreosotel
Bewitching bowl OF Prussian blue!
Who would not cool his parching throat
With your bright offspring, mountain dew
Stronger than aught that wrecked the frame
Or shook the mighty brain of Burns
Surely, you'll set our heads afame,
Whene' or his festal day returns!
Bring on the beerl Fresh copperas foam,
With alum mixed in powder fine!
How could my foolish fancy roam
In search of whittier froth than thinel
Thine Indian berry's essence spread
Through amber wavelets, sparkling clear,
Benumbs dull care strikes feeling dead,
And narcotics shame and fear!
Far down thy bubblng depths, champagne,
Drown'd honor, love and beauty lie!
They fought tn unequal fight in vain
Shall we, then, merely drink and die?
Sweet acetate OF lead Forbid
To eV'ry drink add pangs-and tell
What tortures in thy bosom hid
Anticipate the stings of hell.
Then drink, boysl Drink We never can
Drink younger-and we never will
BE men-or aught re sembling man
While PRISONERS have the power to kill
