and saw approaching the vehicle Of q

rod on the grass, and pntting his foot

Tho Western Settlers Chosen Specific.
With every advance OF emigration into the
far West new demand is created for Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. Newly peopfed regions
are frequently less salubrious than Older set
tied localities, on account of the miasrna
which rises from recently cleared land, particu-
la.ly along the banks OF rivers that are subject to
freshets The agricultural or mining emigrant
soon learns, when he does not already know,
that the Bitters afford the only sure protection
against malaria, and those disorders of the
stomach liver and bowels, to which climatic
changes, exposure and unnccustomed or un-
healthy water or diet subject him. Conse-
quently, he places an estimate upon this great
household specific and preventive con,mensu-
rate with its intrinsic merits, and is careful to

Two Gle ven l,aupers.

Svmunthe;ic spectators gathered one
afternoon around q young man who fell
down in front Of the Louvre III what
appeared to be an epileptic seizure.
One of the bystanders stepped forward
and proposed to carry the invalid to q
chemists shop not far off, aud another
offeioI to assist. The Que who spoke
first took up the epiieptic's hat, and
throwing sjxpence into it, said to the
crowd II am poor man myself, but
Il each one of YOU did IS l do this UNI
fortunate creature would have some-
thing to help to relieve his snfferings."
Impelled by this generous example. the
crowd si,owered coDlers aud small sli-

Great was their establishment when

farar. The latter, as soon as he opened
his ewes and saw the policeman, forgot
that he was an invalid, and attempted

Almost Killed by Kindness.

Deserters from the army are seldom
caught, owing to a general unwilling
ness to give information that will lead
To their arrest. Some years ago u Young
graduate from West Point was sent t.,
the West, and detailed for special duty
with squad of Indian scouts. So long
as he was with his party lie, of course,
was able to keep his bearings, but o3e
day, returning from an expedition into
the mountains, the party stopped for
dinner, and, after diningihe directed the
Indians to go on to the post while he
would follow al hour or two later. Not
accustomed to the mountains, he lost
his way. The Indians came to the post
without him and reported that he had
not overtaken them. but Us they were
directed to 60 on they obeyed orders
sncs did not return to search for him.
Several days passed. and rs no news
came Of the missing officer ,his friends.
WIG esteemed him highly. sent out the
Indians to trace him up. They followed
his trail for two hundred miles, and
repeatedly had news Of him, a, he was
seen by miners and prospeutors, but
could get no information from them as
TO the direction he had taken, for he
was supposed to be deserter from the
army, and no one would aid the soldiers
70 run him down. He was found AT last
alter over weeks wandering. almost
dead, and delirious from hunger, thirst
and exposure, all of which lie owed to
1he general sympathy for deserters, for
had the civilians aided the scouts he
might have been overtaken in y lew
hours.
