A Terrible Misfortune.

1t is a calamity of the direst kind to
feel that ene's physical energies are fail
ing in the prime of life-to feel more
nerveless, more dispirited, weaker every
day. Yet this is the unhappy lot of
hundreds who surround us. A source
of renewed strength which science APP
proves, in behalf of which n:ultitudes of
the debilitated have and are every day
testifying, and which, in countless in
stances, has built up constitutions sap
ped by weakness and infirmity and long
unidentified by other means, surely
commends itse If to all who need tonic.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is such a
medicine-pure, botanic, soothing to
the nerves, promotive of digestion and
a fertilizer of the blood. Dyspepsia and
nervousness-the first cause, the sec
ond a consequence of lack of stamina
depart when a course of the Bitters is
tried. All forms of malarial disease,
rheumatism, kidney and bladder trou-
bless constipation and billiousness are
annihilated by this standard family
medicine.

AnInrentnnsThief

A gentleman dressed in a loose
coat entered ladies' Quitting es-
adjustment in Paris, at time when
the proprietor was alone in the shop.
The gentleman asked to be shown
some ready-made ladies' cloals, as
he wished to give his wife a little
surprise. After careful inspection
he fixed upon one, and asked the
salesman: "Have you not young
lady at hand to put on the cloak to
see how it Iooks?" The proprietor
regretted that none of the ladies of
the establishment were in at that
moment "Well, perhaps you
wouldn't object to putting it on your
self" The unsuspecting shopkeep-
er slipped on the cloak, buttoned it,
and turned round in all directions.
"MagnificentI" exclaimed the p1r-
chaser with seeming ecstasy, but at
the same moment he made a grab
at the till, which he thrust under
his coat, and bolted out of the shop.
The Mortified proprietor rushed af-
ter him into the streets, where, how
ever, he was seized by the passers-
by, who dragged him back to the
shop in the supposition that the
poor fellow had gone mad, and be-
fore he could explain matters the
rogue had disappeared.

The surplus in the national treas
ury is still rapidly increasing, but
the brethren will indeavor to lessen
it as much as possible by lavish ex-
pend1ture and reckless extravaganza.
The best way to dispose of it would
be to cut off some of the various
channels through which it pours in.
Better leave the money in the peck
