Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the
brain are too intimately allied for the one to
suffer without the other, SO that dyspepsia and
dependency are inseparable. 1t may be add
ed, too, that irritation of the stomach is almost
invariably accompanied by irritation of the
temper.


The iuvigorating and tranquillzing opera
ton of Hos1etter's Bitters is most powerfully
developed in cases of indigestion. The first eff
feet of this agreeable tonic is comforting and
encouraging. A mild glow pervades the sys-
tenn, the chronic uneasiness in the region of the
stomach is lessened, and the nervous restless
ness which characterzes the disease is abated.
1t is not succeeded by the return Of the old
symptoms with superadded force, as is always
the case when unmedicated stimulants are given
for the complaint. Each dose seems to impart
a permanent accession of healthful invigoratiOn.
But this is not all. The aperient and antibili-
Gus properties of the preparation are scarcely
secondary in Importance to its tonic virtues
If there is an overflow of bile the secretion is
soon brought within proper limits; and if the
bieary organ is inert and torpid is toned and
regulated. The effect upon the discharging or
gans is equally salutary and in cases OF consti-
patton the cathartic action is just sufficient to
produce the desired result gradually and with
out pain: The Bitters also promote healthy
evaporation from the surface which is particu-
larly desirable at this season when sudden spells
of raw, unpleasant weather, are apt to check
the natural perspiration and produce conges-
ton of the liver, coughs and colds. The best
safeguard against all diseases is bodily vgor, and
this the great Vegetable Restorative essentially
promotes.

The rapidity with which railroads are built
in the Western States is something that our
eastern people are not accustomed to see. We
have heard much, during the past year, of the
prospects and progress of the Central Rail-
road of Iowa, whose route traverses the State
from north to south, through the most thickly
settled and largely productive sections of that
rich State. The names of eminent capitalists
of the east were associated with the enterprise,
and it was announced that the road should be
pushed through with all practicable speed.

nothing halted the construction an abundant
supply ofthe best rolling stock was contract

months the rails have been advancing from


point to point, and new stations have been
opened in rapid succession, each one contri-
buting its valuable quota to the business of
the road. The grand result is becoming mani

town, near the centre Of the State, to the

Died, October goth, at the residence of her
parents, VICTORINE R., third daughter of
j. J. and V. R. HUGHES, in the 7th year Of her
age.


Another of Gods little children, pure and
spotless as the snowy wreath we placed upon
her coffin, has gone to her happy home in hea-
ven, where, joined by angel voices, she sings
in endless praise of Him who made her. Alas,
how sad that those we love and prize the most
should be the first we lose 0, cold whitening
hand of death, how blighting is thy blow !
This lovely child, rich in,all rare endowments
that can adorn the mind and grace the heart
of disposition so gentle, SO affectionate and
so confding, won all hearts to love her, and
gave the brightest promise of a happy, useful
future. That wisdom can be learned from
the mouths of babes'' was well verified by the
subject of this brief tribute. The simple truths
uttered by her infant lips evinced so plainly
the charming beauty of her nature and the
guileless innocence Of her lovely life that it was
indeed 'sthe heart that magni6ed her life maxi
ing truth and beauty of it's own" No mat
ter how ardent the love, no matter how great
the loss or how deep the grief, let us not ques-
ton the inscrutable ways of Him, who gives
and takes. 1t was He who sent the awful trial,
it is for us to accept the mandate OF His will
and humbly bend beneath His chastning rod,
for He alone can give the grace to bear the
burthen and heal the bleeding heaIt.

as one OF ffuth anecfion. She wished not to
leave fond and loved ones behind but she had
no fear of death. For her he had no appalling
terror She knew that her peace had been
made with God through the precious blood of
her Saviour; and that whensoever it should
please God to take her hence he would receive
her into the realms of the blessed, "who rest
from their labors." On the last visit of her
Pastor to her sick bed, he conversed much with
her about the Paradise of the blessed dead
Then it was, that without trace OF sadness on
her features, she related to him her dream a.
bout her own coffin III dreamed it was beau
tiful coffin decked with flowers, and angels
stood beside it' And when soon after he
came again, called to attend the last sad fune-
raj rites, there indeed was her pretty coffin
decked with flowers, while one little bouquet
still more beautiful lay on her snow white
bosom, which now rested from its quick and
painful heavings. He could not indeed see
heavens lovely messengers Though they may
have stood by all insensible); but his eye was
arrested by the sight of three angel figures em-
bossed on each handle of the coffin. Two stood
on either side leaning over, and as if peering
into the open book of the Gospel which rested
on what seemed the Ark Of the Covenant. The
third one was on the middle Of the handle, in
the posture of flying, as if winging his flight to
Heaven with the news that one more saint was
on her way to the Paradise of the blessed dead.

tice copy the favorite words of the hymn she
so much loved

Soft as the downy pillows are,


While on His breast lay my head,


And breathe my life out sweetly there"

tauce of administering phosphate of lime in
their practice. He processes to prove that
this substance is, above all others, the natural
supplement of the function of nutrition that
by its action the albuminous matter is made
to take the form Of cellular, and that it pre-
sides over the organization of the tissues that
is to say, it is pre-eminently the agent of nu-

recommended very strongly, as an active a.

its action and tile positiveness Of its effects, it
claims to be ranked with promide Of potassium

Dr. dc Lessons OF the Election:


To those weakened and fant-hearted pa
triots who have lost all faith and hope in the
recuperative spirit Of our institutions and in
popular capacity for self-government, and
who, because the course Of public events does
not meet their approval, therefore decline to
perform their own public duties, the result
should be alike subject of shame and encour-
agement. 1t shows conclusively that if the
intelligent classes of the community will but
do their duty, if they will but go up to the
polls and vote manfully according to their
con nvictions, instead of supinely folding their
hands and crying out that all is lost-there is
no difficulty in retaining the control of their
political destiny in their own hands. IF it is
lost, it must be through their own apathy and
fault. IF honesty and intelligence will do
their part, there is little danger that ignorance
and vice will prevail.


For the newly franchised citizens who ex-
ercised the right of suffrage for the first time
on Tuesday, the result also has its moral.-
They have been fattered by those who have
idea that they hold the balance of political
power in their hands. They have been prom


sed, as the reward of their blind, unquestion-
ing devotion to the political party, a large
share in the Offices and patronage which by
their joint efforts they were to secure. The
idea has proved Elusive, and the promises are
not destined TO be fulfilled. If they are wise,
they will refuse hereafter to recognize any
right Of property in their votes in any politi-
ca! party, or to accept any set of politicians
as their natural and infallible guides. They
will seek to qualify themselves to understand
the political questions in which, in common
with the rest OF the community, their welfare
is involved, and to exercise ntelligently and
independently the right to vote. Men so in
structed and qualified cannot be misled to the
polls.

Headache, shvering and high fever come on
suddenly, aud succeed each other iapidly, so
that in the course OF from six to twenty-four
hours the pulse is beating from one hundred
to one hundred and forty times per minute,
and the temperature is found to BIZ from one

that in London and st. Petersburg three,
four and even five relapses have been by no
means uncommon. The convalescence is so
protracted that the patient becomes pauper-

before he can again earn his bread. The oily
treatment OF any value is confessed to be
good nursing and good nourshment.

About one mile out from Elko, ON the
old White Pine road, arc a number Of
hot springs the property of Messrs.

springs is really a great natural curiosity
