Flesh

You naturally lose flesh In
the summer and running down
Is so easy. You get a little
weaker each day without hard
ly noticing 1t. There is loss OF
appetite. headache. weakness
of the muscles. disturbed sleep.
weakness of memory. and these
are the beginning of nervous
prostration. Iron and tonics
and bitters may afford some
temporary relief. but what you
need Is a food for body. brain
and nerves.

(From our Regular CorTespondent.)
To know is one of the obviously dis
tinguishable states of the mind. and
taking farmers at their words, we state
that corn and tobacco are in a thriving
condition. Our friends know or should
know whereof they assert. Potatoes
are large and they yield well. Wheat is
being consigned to different merchants
in Baltimore and account of sales show
minimum figures. This certainly has a
depressing effect upon the minds Of con-
signers. Guano bills, employees wages
and the memorable demands of the tax
collector hold the farmer to the world
Of realities in spite of the most ethereal
of his flights.
July so far has been unpleasantly
warm. True, frequent showers give
moisture to the earth and clouds veil it
for short time from the rays of the
sun, yet disturbing sensations of warmth
is experienced. How deliciously sweet
are blackberries of which, we are glad
to say, are plentiful What beautiful
peaches-hard and soft. They are juicy
and we'll favored. Our soul has a sub
jective experience of sweetness, and it
has this experience as an agent con-
nected with and animating an extended
sensorium.
The recent slight earthquake shocks
experienced by some of our neighbors
cause them to give expressions of their
views. A lady said to us few days ago
that she believed great changes in the
constitution of terrestrial things would
shortly occur; that the earth will soon
be retouched by the Hand that made it.;
and that complete revolution in the
order of things is near at hand. We
modestly replied, having the words of
Milton in mind, that il seemed to us that
the extreme recklessness and impiety
which universally prevails throughout
the world is peculiar sign" that some
wonderful change was about to occur.
OF course even men of Achithophel as
tuteness may only surmise. Everything
is moving, but whittier, men of wisdom
cannot tell
We notice that the raisers of poultry
turkeys, geese, ducks. guiaeas, pea
fowls and chickens--are having variable
success. The latter are selling at $1.75
per dozen. Eggs are cheap.
Nature is prominently in beauty.
Flora is happy. Look see those large
sun flowers. How they seemingly smile
at Gs. They are crowned with beauty,
and bend to the zephyrs in joyful &C.
stacy, Praise the most High you feath-
cred songsters. He listens to you as
he does to the sons of men. Praise Him,
aye, from early dawn to the rising of the
evening star. They seem to say to US,
o mani Why sleep, and sport, and fold
your arms in indifference. Remember
that you have an immortal soul Peace
and blessings of eternity await you.
Behold, now is the accepted time! We
praise our Maker with our softest notes.
Shall man, our superior-man, who is
fearfully and wonderfully made-fail to
utter forth his gratitude, too:

a favor on the committee by sending them
