5O7-AN ANAGRAM.

Whole is power that sways the human heart,
And one that can delightful sweets 1mpart;
Oftimes it has inspired poetic themes,
Oftimes presided DER romantic dreams,
Producing thrills of soul-entrancing Joy,
And draughts of bliss unmingled with alloy.
Let stole sages in their wisdom say
That it's supremacy lasts but a day,
Then, like transient meteor, fits away.
Let scoffers call it deceitful thing.
A short-lived ecstacy that leaves sting,
And say tits only laughed at by the wise,
And that it's realm is a FOOLS paradise;
Such croakings come from bitterness of soul;
All natures voice proelaims the praise Of
1UhoLe.
'Tis not a MISTY THRONE OF EvIL:no,
Though crusty bachelors may call it so.

Sportsmen throughout this and neighbor

ting very scarce and threaten soon to be-
come e1terminated. Some persons say this
decrease is due owing to so many wet
SUNNI ers OF late years, the young birds
eggs spoiled. We notice, however. that
several papers argue that this disappear
ance of partridges is owing to the introduc.
tion into Georgia of the Texan flea, brought
here by the Texan ponies. The insect at
tacks the birds and soon attacks them IN
death. 1t is said that entire coveys are
soon killed out when the Texan flea gets
among them. There is no doubt about one
thing-partridges are getting scarcer eyery

The unthinking are prone to make game
of nervousness. Yet this is very real
and serious affection, the harassing symp-
toms of which are rendered all the more
poignant by ridicule. The stomach is
usually responsible for these symptoms
its weakness and disorder find relax in
the brain, which is the headquarters of
the nervous system. AS nerve tonic
and tranquilizer, we believe that not one
can be pointed out so effective as Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. In renewing Wig
orous digestion, it strikes the key note of
recovery of strength and quietude by
the nerves. Headaches, tremors in quiet
sleep, abnormal sensitiveness to unexpect-
ed noses-al these modify and ultimately
disappear as the system gains strength
from the great tonic. Dyspepsia, bilious
ness, rheumatism, constipation and kid
ney complaints are subdued by the
Bitters.
