footsteps No man can

petition who wilfully neglects his health.
1t is not good policy to overwork, but the
great deal of it. The man who neglects his
health is soon untitled for work. When a
mans digestion is disordered and his bow
els are irregular, his blood becomes impure
and the body is badly nourished. The vic
tim of these conditions suffers from brain
fag, nervous prostration, and debility and
eventually falls victim to consumption.

The Venomous Breath or Malaria

The VenOm0us Breath or Malaria
Does not infect the system of those who
use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as pre-
caution against it. Nor is it less useful
as a remedy where intermittent and re-
mittent fever has fully established itself,
in consequence of neglect of preventive
measures. 1t checks the paroxysms with
astonishing certainty, and eradicates this
type of disease, even in it's most inveter-
ate form. This medicine is an especial
boon to the emigrant population of the
far west, where fevers of a malarial type
are particularly prevalent, but the recog-
milton of it's merits is 30 far from being
limited, that it is known and APPRAISED at
its true value throughout the length and
breadth of America. Travellers by land
and sea, miners and sojourners in un-
healthy localities, esteem it highly, and
are its constant purchasers, and in many
a rural household, far and wide, it is the
chosen family specific.

"THAT WHICH THE AUTUMN TOOK
AWAYU

The things that autumn took away
With no returning spring shall come,
Never with leaf upon the spray,
Never with bud or bloom
Or lambs that make high holiday.
April will come again and May
And the green world forget the gloom,
And roses in the garden gray
Yield up their full perfume.
And blackbirds sing the livelong day.
Oh, dancing leaves and winds at play,
For spring shall bring the swallows home,
And nightingales and scent of hay,
But there shall never come
That which the autumn took away.

ROTH PAPERS WERE USEFUL.

Bill Wright was a justice OF the
peace, and also an absent-minded
man, whose wife was as able an
orator as Xantippe.
Bill used to serve all his processes
himself, and to save time would sign
the marriage certificates in blank and
deliver number to the parson.
One day Bill had process to serve
away up in the mountains on semi
barbarous recluse, who was sued for
damages for some misdeeds, and Bill
thought he would deliver few of the
certificates to the parson.
So sticking both packages of papers
in the same pocket he mounted his
horse and rode off. Reaching the
minister's he stopped and chatted
awhile, and, after delivering his pa
pers, he started off again and took the
road to the mountains.
The parson had wedding that day,
one of the paries being a notorious
horse thief from an adjoining county.
When the ceremony was over the
parson selected certificate from the
bundle and unrolled it sufficiently to
sign his name. On handing it to the
man the latter read instead of mar
riage certificate warrant of arrest,
signed by both the justice of the peace
and by the parson. He feared some
trap, so surrendered himself to custody.
When the justice reached the noun
tain side he took out the paper to
read it and Immediately saw its ma
ture, but maintaining his selfposses-
sion, he recited the form of summons,
which he fortunately remembered.
He then returned and found the
horse thief in Jail, and went and saw
the parson, remarking, with his own
matrimonial felicity in mind, that both
papers had unintentionally served the
ends of justice. University Courier.

him. When the audience chamber
was full he cleared it with one of his
practical jokes, of which he was fond:
"Gentlemen," said he, ~ am sure that
you will agree with me that on this
auspicious occasion we should drink
each others health" This PROPOSE
ton was greeted with applause. Soon
a servant appeared, carrying a tray
with number of glasses, and a large
decanter filed with water. Turning
to his guests, the President then said: :
"Gentlemen, we will now drink each
others health in the best beverage
given to man, pure water" subse-
quently the president added to one of
his friends, "That water joke effected
two purposes-it cleared my room and
gave them lesson in the disuse OF
strong drink"
