The pearly portals of the sky,
Admit no lover of a lie.

Are warnings given to age and youth;

Whose living lips quick judgement

Our very Utmost thought doth try.
May we like HIM in truth delight,
And ever live as in His sight.n

TEARING AWAY THE HILLS.

Ryan is pushing the work right along,
and the main quarry has reached the
edge of the cliff next to the river
Work has bean started on the hill
on the west side of the railroad track,
and in few months that will also
have been leveled. These quarries
are carrying away historic hills, for
it is here that breastworks were form
ed during the war from which many
a spirited fight was carried on with
foes on the other side of the river.
The bluffs were natural defenses, and
when the Confederates had thrown
up the earth little higher they had a
very snug shelter from Yankee shot
and shell.
It has long been the ambition Of
Col. Boteler to have a monument to

boat that was ever propelled by steam
was started up stream against the cur
rent. But the world has been tardy
in doing justice to the great inventor,
and once more the historic and ro-
mantle is sacrificed to the practical.
There are many who hate to see the

Changes ofCIimate

XIII more people than is generally known,
Particularly is this the case in instances where
the constitution is delicate, and among our
immigrant population seeking new homes in
those portions of the West, and where ma
larlal and typhoid feyers prevail at certain
seasons of the year. The best preparatlye for
a change of climate, or ofdiet and water which
that change necessitates, is Hostetter's Stom-
aeh Bitters, which not only fortifies the sys-
TEN against malaria, variable temperature,
damp, and the facilitating effects Of tropical
heat, but is also the leading remedy for con-
stipation. dyspepsia, liver complaint. bodily
troubles specially apt to attack emgrants and
visitors to regions near the equator, mariners
and tourists. Whether used as a safeguard by
sea voyagers, travellers by land, miners, or Of
agriculturists in newly populated districts, this
fine specific has ELECTED the most favorable
testimony.
