Against mans happiness by his stom-

That potent regulator of digestion. Hos

rebellious organ thoroughly. Indiges-
ton arises from weakness of the stom-

power to digest, decoraposes and acidi-
fies, giving rise to heartburn, fatulence
and pain, besides a multitude ofsymp-
toms both changeful and perplexing.
But peace soon reigns when the great
stomach is resorted to and used with
persistence. Dyspepsia gives rise to
morbid discomposure of mind, and even
sleeplessness and hypochondria in
chronic cases. To the complete dismiss

Liver complaint, constipation, debility,

fully astonished, but said nothing. After
the meeting one of the latter called the
president aside. an. lie president" he

1rritabiIity In Plants.

Mr.. Ernest Walker of New Albany.
Ind, has recently contributed some
interesting notes ON the manner in
which the common wild sour grass
as it is called Oxalis stricta-expels
its seeds. They are thrown to a
great distance by the sudden disrup-
ton of the capsule. He finds Oxalis
violacea has the same power. The
common balsam of our garden, or as
it is sometimes called in American
Horticulture, lady slipper" does the
same, especially when the seed pods
are grasped. This and the oxalis be
long to the same natural order of
plants. The garden balsam derived
its Latin name. impatiens, from this
Characteristic. Possibly most spe
cies of oxalis are irritable. Meehan's

whistIinE rs a SIN.

Arabia must be heaven for those
whoselivesa are madea burden to them
by the whistler. The Arab maintains
that whistler's mouth cannot be
purified for 40 days and nights, and
they assert of the whistler that
Satan has touched his body and
caused him to produce the offensive
sound. Then there are the natives
of the Tonga islands, Polynesia, who
hold that it is sin to whistle, as it
is an act disrespectful to God. Even
in some districts in north Germany
the villagers declare that if one
whistles in the evening it makes the
angels weep.-Detroit Free Press.

It is a matter of common history
that bribery and corruption were
largely resorted to in order to effect
the union of England and Scotland,
which took place in 17O7.
Lord Seafeld, the chancellor of the
last Scottish parliament, accepted a
gift of 95OO to vote for the union and
was reproached by his brother for
taking this bride. His fordship retail

DIR. Cuyler tells the story of little
boy, the son of good Presbyterian
parents, who was asked the question
In the catechism, What is the chief
end of man7" and answered it,
.cMan's chief end is to glorify God
and annoy him forever" There
are too many men, says DR.. Cuyler,

When Mime. Roland was on the scat
fold, she asked for pen and paper tc note
the peculiar thoughts that lowered about

voices alighting in glory ON the SUBMITS
Of the past.-Goethe.
