THR WHOLE STORY IN NUIbHELL.


The Office of the stomach is to convert the
food into crsam.like semi mifiuid, called CHYME.
This is effected partly by the action of solvent,
called the gastric juice, which excludes from the
coating of the stomach, and partly by a mechan.
ical movement of that organ, which churns, as it
were, the dissolving aliment. The CHYME passes
from the stomach into the duodenum, or en-.
trance to the bowels where it is subjected to
the action of the bile and the nutritious portion
OF it converted into a fluid called ChyLe, which
eventually becomes blood.


Now, it is evident that If the great solvent,
the gastric juice, ia not produced in sufficient
quantity, or If the mechanical action of the
stomach Is not sufficiently brisk the first process
OF digestion will be but imperfeclly performed.
1t is also clear that if the liver, which plays
such an important part in changing the nour.
ishing portion OF tho chyme into the material of
the blood is congested, or in any unnatural
condition, the second process will not be thor
eushly accomplished. The result of the tlro
failures is dyspepsia complicated with bilOusneSs.


The MODE in which H0STETTER'S BIT.
TIERS operate in such cases is this they invig.
orate the cellular membrane Of the stomach,
which evolves the gastric Juice thereby insur
ing an ample suilicency of the fluid TO complete.
ly dissolve the food. They also act upon the
nerves of the stomach, causing an aecelsration
Of the mechanical movement necessary to re.
duce the fosi to homogeneous mass. They
also act specifically upon the liver strengthen
ing it and So enabling it TO produce an ample
and regular supply Of bile, for the purpose of
converting the nutritious PARTICLES Of the Chyme
into ChyLe and promote the passage through
the bowels of the useless debris.

dyspepsia, and liver complaint. The explana-
tisn is plain simple, philosophical, and traie.

In 1913 Republic was organized in
France. At the head of it the people


were SO infatuated as to place rs Presi-
dent Louis Napoleon, man with no


previous reputation, not identified in


sentiment with auyr of the political or
ganizations of the eOuptry. He was
chosen simply because he was the rep
resentative of great military name,


which captivated the public.


His first moves at the head of the
Government were suspicious. He con-
suited with no one. He held little or
no intercourse with any of the leading
political chiefs. He made Cabinet OF
warm and attached personal friends,
who had always been devoted to him 10
the darkest moments of his checkered
career.


In the army, navy and treasury he
placed men who were not known as Re-
publicans, but were notorious as Napo-
leonists He was a silent and taciturn
man, who acted before he spoke. He
came toto Office with many professions
of devotion to the Constitution. He
promised to enforce all the laws of the
Republic, good, bad and Indifferent. He
cultivated the good will of his army.
He opposed its reduction. He placed
his favorite officers in those commands
where they could render him, in an
emergency, the greatest service. Those
officers who were too good Republicans
to be reliable for his personal schemes he
sent off on distant service, or retained
them without command.


He early discovered in the law
stumbling block in the way. 1t had
been provided that q President of the
Republic could not befre-elected. His
friends, in his behalf, made an effort to
repeal this law. The French Congress
was against it, and the law had to
stand.


In short time there came the denOae-
meRt. The President made his coup
u etut' Ills CTcdJuToS SWaTueU III Iuo
War, Navy, Treasury and Police Depart
ments. He controlled the army. The
Congress was arrested and dispersed at
the point of the bayonet, and Louis Ma
poleon, by the work not of u single
night but of years of patient and artful
plotting, placed on his head an Imperial
Crown. His irmest adherents were the
men of mouey-the great capitalists of
Paris-whO were exceedingly fearful
that if they did not have a strong mill
tary Government there would be the
terrible thing of repudiation. The al.
lance between the sword and the
money bags" subsists to the present
day. The sword collects the interest on
the national securities, and the nation
al securities maintain the sword in its
place.


We have drawn this as an historic par
allel to what is passing at the present
time in another so-called Republic, the
name of which it is unnecessary to men,

PRoBABLY General GRANT has no de-
sign to usurp power or substitute mill
tary for civil rule, but really there seems
to us TO be something of the military
strut in his movements. When be found
that his Secretary of the Treasury
couldn't hold the Office of Secretary
without the violation of law, there GER
tainly seemed to be not little of the
military tone and spirit in the very
brief message, wherein, without argu-

considerations he was actuated, he sum
moned Congress to repeal its law.

Every mother is a historian. She writes
not the history Of empires or of nations
on paper, but she writes her own history
on the iDperishable mind Of her child
That tablet and that history will remain
indelible when time shall be no more
That history each mother shall meet
again, and read with eternal joy or unut-
terable grief in the coming ages of eter-
nifty. The thought should weigh on the
mind of every mother, and render her
deeply eircamspect, and praycrful and
faithful in her solemn work Of training
up her children for heaven and immor~
tality.


The minds Of children are very suscep-
tible and easily impressed. A WORD, e look. .
frown may engrave an impression on the
mind of q child that no lapse of time can
efface or wash out. You can walk the sea
shore when the tide is out, and you form
characters or write words or names in the
smooth white sand which is spread out so
clear and so beautiful at your feet, aecor-
ding as your fancy may dictate; but the
returning tide shall in few hours wash
out and efface all that you have written
Not so the lines and characters of truth
or error which your conduct imprints on
the mind of your child. There you write
impressions for the everlasting good or i'll
of your child, which neither the floods
nor the storms of earth can wash out, nor
the cold fingers of death erase, nor the
slow moving of eternity obliterate. How
careful, then, should each mother be- In
her treatment of her child. How prayer
full, and how serious, and how earnest to
write the eternal truths of God on his
mind-those truths which shall be his
guide and teacher when her voice shall
be silent in death, and her lips no longer
move in prayer in his behalf, in commend
ing her dear child to her covenant God.

A double obligation Of silence and se-
crecy rests upon one who Is guest In .
family. The turpitude Of betrayal of
family history By visitor, is far greater
than theft would be. To pocket half q
dozen silver spoons would do far less dam
age, produce far less suffering, and be less
immoral than tale-bcariDg. It is thing
go geandalous that it should degrade .
person, and put him or her out Of society.
To betray the secrets Of the household Is
not only an odiOus immortality, but it is
sin and shame to be On good terms with
those who are known to commit such out
ragos. They are m;screants. They put
themselves out of the pale of decent so-
eiety. They should be treated as mo1aI

their weaknesses, misinterpretiDg the in

Como, sit thco down, my gentle love;
81 many Mays have COME
And gone since those old courtship days
Before We made our home,
l hardly realize the doubts


And fears that voxed me then;
Is there no echo fills your heart


Of these old days agains
How long we were apart. 1t seemed
So strange to bo together;
The long sad miles that lay between
Through shine and stormy weather;
The letters often read, and words


Few, precious of the heart;
And now it seems as strange to us
= We ever were apart.
I see SOME broken trinkets yet


Given in those sweet old days.
You cherish them as if they wete
Links of the past always;
I saw you yesterday take UP


An old gift of those years,
And kiss its faded face and frame,


With strange and tender tears.
And this poor semblanco of yourself
Worn on my hearts long,
The memory of the day twas given
Comes sweet as some cid song
Some sweet old song that's incomplete,
In notes and broken bars.
As if the half fled to heaven


And sang among tile stars.
The first kiss trembles on my lip, -
So maidenly and shy;
You blushed and trembled then as ii
Its sweetness made youdie.
For all your color fled again


How sweet it was and feet;
Yet say the poets as they may,


This last is just as sweet.
And dll that was, and all that is,
And all that is 10 be,
Are parts of that one whcle-our lives
Made one to you and me.
And if loved you so of old,


You'd scarce believe Before,
Yet now believe me, every day,
I've loved you more and more.
Pray God it shall be the last,


The two lives grown in one,
And some fair plant that every day
Grows upward to the sun;
So nearer heaven may it grow,
Unscathed, unstained, unriven,
Till ripe, the harvest's gathered in,
And gathered up in heaven.
