Was ever more hopelessly stranded than
a wrecked constitution, whether its dis
aster be the product of some formidable
malady, or that slow, premature decay
that seems to fasten upon some constitu-
tions without apparent adequate cause.
An excellent means of checking this grad
ual drain of the sources of vitality is the
benefcent tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which promotes digestion, enriches
the blood and gives substance as well as
stamina to an enfeebled frame. Consti-
patton, feebleness OF the kidneys and
bladder, fever and ague and rheumatism,
are among the bodily ailments which it
remedies promptly and thoroughly. Per-
sistence in its use is well merited by it.

from Benares The invitations were

ing the natives walking over pool Of
living Goals. The place where the fire
was placed was about 20 feet long, feet
wide, and 2 feet deep. At one end of
this was situated the god of fire, made
of kneaded flour, and the great god
Mahedeo was conveyed around fire three
times in grand palanquin borne by
priests, amid great singing and dancing,
something after the fashion of the Indian
war dance and song. After the third
turn one of the priests, with drawn
sword, severed the head of the god Of
fires, which they said had the effect Of
cooling the fire." After the defeat
of the god several natives, young and
old, OF different castles, walked across
the fire with bare feet. None of them
complained, but repeated their walka

SAMUEL BRADBURN.
How He Satisfied Two Fellows In Search
of Fun.


An incident in the course OF one Of
Bradburn's journeys was discussed by
an old minister, who had the best evil
dence Of its authenticity - evidence
which was afterward confirmed by
Bradburn's nearest relatives and biog-
rapher. The incident, says the Sunday
Magazine, shows that his wit could be-
mercless when saucily provoked. He
had come to roadside inn to wait for
the stage coach. While waiting, an.
other passenger arrived-a young lord,
attended by his valet. The young gen
teman was lively, but stammered
slightly in conversation. On seeing
BradLurn, whose personal appearance
would attract attention, the gay young
fellow, speaking aside to the landIady,
said:
"Y.oou h-have parson here.
Hes Methodist preacher, my lord, y"
said she.
"Oh, then, LII have IA bit of fun
with him. Approaching Bradburn, he
said:
"P-p-pray, sir, &C can you t-t.tell me
how it is that B-a. Balaam's ass spoke "
Bradburn, who knew that if you look
full at u stammerer you increase his diff
ficulty, replied
what did you say, sr?"
"P-p-pray, sir ocean you tell me
h-h-how it was th-that B-Balaam's ass
spoke?"
"What do you say, sir?" cried Brad
burn, looking sternIy into his face, and
putting his hand to his ear.
"PI-p.p-pa-ra-pa, suffered the fun
maker, and stood with distorted face,
unable to put his question.
His valet came to his rescue, and,
bowing to Bradburn, said:
"My lord wishes to know, sir, whether
YOU can inform him how it was that
Balaam's ass spoke?'
~ don't know. sir " was tie answer,
sunless it was that Balaam stammered
so badly himself that he hired his ass t.
speak for him
Both master and man had found fun
enough.
