Causes of Nervousness.

The maladies which above all others
cause nervousness, are dyspepsia, bilious
ness and constipation. The great sym
pathetic nerve which connects the epi-
gastric region with the brain, is always
injuriously affected if the stomach and
bowels are disordered: permanent de-
rangement of the functions Of those or

remedy the nervous complaints which
originate in almentary weakness or dis

the exciting causes of nervous weakness,
they permanently overcome the disability

in McClure's Magazine. Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps tells the story Of her
awakening on the temperance ques-
ton. She was spending the summer as
usual at her little retreat at Gloucester
and, in one of her evening rides, found
her way suddenly blocked by an cX-
cited crowd in front of Il saloon whose
very existence had been unknown to
her. She thus describes her, own pre-
vious ignorance and the effect of this
tragedy upon her:
'As for what is known, in this coun-
try. as the temperance movement, it
was as unfamiliar to me as the gossip
of Tahiti. / was reared in circles
which pursued their own proportion Of
Christian charity in their own ways,
