like a Sieve.

The chief function of the kidneys is to sepa-
rate from the blood in its passage through
them, of certain impurities and watery par
ticles which make their final exit through the
bladder The retention of these, in conse-
auence of inactivity of the kidneys, is produc-
tive of Brights disease, dropsy, diabetes,
albuminuria and other maladies with fatal
tendency. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
highly sanctioned diuretic and blood depurent,
impels the kidneys when inactive to renew
their sitting function, and strain from the vital
current impurities which infest it and threaten
their own existence as organs of the BODY.
Catarrh of the bladder, gravel and retention OF
the urine are also maladies arrested or averted
by this benign promoterand restorative OF or
yanic action. Malaria. rheumatism, constipa
ton biliousness and dyspepsia also yield to the
Bitters, which is also speedily benehclal TO the

Tattered and torn hangin, in rags:

Nor think Of hosts of mi hty dead
Whove trod beneath in days gone by,
With burning cheek and eager eye
And bathed the folds in lifes red tide,
And dying blessed, and blessing. died
Nothing but flags-they're bathed in tears
They tell of trlumphs. hopes and fears
or mothers prayers for boy away,
That he return some coming day
Silent, they speak, and tears will start;
We see them now with achiny heart
And think of those who re ne'er forgot:
Their fla IS came home-why come they not?
Nothing but fia-s-we hold our breath
And view with awe those types of death.
Nothing but flags. yet thoughts will come.

On those loved flags, come home again;
Baptized in blood our purest, best.

In front of each of these doors one. of
Leyden's men stood on guard.
Everything went on smoothly
until the relief came around after
dark. The officer IN charge of the re-
lief squad found, to his establishment,
that one of the cars was guarded by
Yankee with musket."
Hello! What does this mean?"
asked the vofficer.
"Oh, it's all right" replied the
Yankee; 1.-The young man on duty
here wanted to go and see his girl,

We took Mr.. Yank's musket from
him and made him enter the car, and
stationed one of our men at the door.
The fellow had told the truth, as we
found out when the absent guard re-
turned. The youngster was fresh
and knew nothing about soldering.
He saw no harm in slipping off to see
his girl, and as luck would have it, he
had picked out a prisoner who was a

as he was known as a slave, passed
years of his life. They told of seeing

comrades, whose names were Uncle
Abram, Wiley, Aunt Phoebe, Patsy,

A man by the name of Bass, one of
the characters in the book, the one
who, by the way, was instrumental
in Northup's obtaining his freedom,

than anyone at that time realized it
