HE saw HER BUT A MoMEST.-The

One of the young ladies in Brook

"There is profane swearing where
the heart is filed with vindictive pas
sions-with malice; but most of the
swearing indulged in by young people
and uncultivated people is only so much
emphasis to back up their sentences
with. 1t shows that those who indulge
in it are wanting in intelligent respect
for their own statements or are doubt
full if they will be accepted as true by
those they address. / do not deny that
it is extremely bad taste, that it is vul-
gar and disagreeable; and yet a great
deal of informal swearing is INDUCED
in by the really reverent and kind
hearted"

Pacific, and we fell in with water
logged ship, with nine starving men on
her. They begged to be, taken on
board. Now, our captain was one of
your pious sort. Well, when the mate,
with his hands on the ropes ready to
lower the boat, heard the captains
cold -blooded decision-'Tell them we
can't take them; we have. only provi-

Miss ; in bad cause it were enough to
sink a ship), and wished that he might
be hung beside, at the yard-arm, if he
did not fetch these poor souls on board.
And down went the boat, in spite of the
captain, and on board they came and
we all arrived safe and sound in port.

A sudden mental emotion can send
too much blood to the brain or too
great mental excitement does the same
thing. 1t is the essential nature of all
wines and spirits to- send an increased
amount of blood to the BRAIN, ID.


The first effect of taking glass of
wine or stronger form of alcohol is to
send the blood there faster than COM
mon hence it quickens the circulation; !;
that gives a red face ). it increases the
activity of the brain, and it works
faster, and so does the tongue. But as
the blood goes to the brain faster than
common, itlreturns faster,' and no spe-
cial permanent harm results. But sup
posing man keeps on drinking, the
blood is sent to the brain so much
faster, in such large quantities, that in
order to make room for it the arteries
have to enlarge themselves they in
crease in size, and in doing so press
against the more yielding fiaccid veins,
which carry the blood from the brain,
and thus diminish their size, their
bores the result being, the blood is not
only carried to the arteries of the brain
faster than is natural or lealthful, but
is prevented from leaving it as fast as
usual; hence a double set of causes of
death are set in operation. Hence a
man may drink enough brandy or other
spirit in few hours or even minutes to
bring on fatal attack of apoplexy this

WAS IT 4 PREMONlrGoN OF DEATH? 1t
is stated of Doc Simmons, the engineer
who periShed ut the late tragedy on the
Hudson River Railroad, that in all his
conversations with railroad men he would
never advocate jumping from an engine
in time of danger. NO said he on
one occasion, Il would squat" He
meant he would squat behind the boiler
and trust to- going through whatever
might obstruct the track That was un-


doubtedly the course he took on that ia
tai Monday night. Nearly all ofhis COM
rades on the Hudson River Railroad think
he was foolishly brave. They argue that
after the patents were pulled and his en-
gine reversed and throttle opened, he had
performed all the duty in his power TO save
the train, and then he should have jump
ed to save himself. He leaves 4 little
child behind in Poughkeepsie. She was
his daughter by his first wife, and he Wis
tied her every Sabbath regularly. Upon
the Sabbath previous to the accident he
called to see her, and when they parted.
as was his custom, he kissed her fondly
and bade her goodbye having gone II
little ways he returned, and again and
again badc her by by. Could he have
had premonition that that was the last
time he would see her? All the locomotives
on the road are draped in mourning out
of respect for his memory.

The extraordinary increase that has taken
place in the sale of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters during the past year, is another
proof that an intelligent people, although
they may try all things, hold fast only to
that which is good. No amount of puffery
can lift inferior articles to the position of
standard specifics. To use the words of
Tom Paine, they may go up like rocket
but are sure to come down ANONYMOUSLY
like its extinguished stick. Hundreds of
such nostrums have gone up and come down
since the introduction of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, nearly fifth of a century ago.
Yet it still remains the supreme tonic of the
age. 1t has not, and never has had a rival
in efficacy or popularity, and now stands at
the head of all proprietary remedies manu-
factured on this side of the Atlantic. In
every civilized community on the continent
or in South America, it is the accepted rem
edy for dyspepsia, bilious complaints, con-
stipation, general debility, nervous weak
ness, and many other unpleasant or danger
GUS maladies. A medicine so widely ex-
tended is of course pirated and initiated by
dealers without conscience or integrity.


Therefore, let every man and woman who
designs to purchase the genuine Hostetter's s
Stomach Bitters, see to it that they have
what they pay for, and not the results of an
infamous imposture. Look carefully at la
bel, stamp and name blown in the glass. and
name blown in the glass. and do not forget
that the true bitters is sold in bottles only.

will bring their fairest offerings to the sacred

winds will murmur more muslcally around

tenderly on thy turfy bed; that the pale

a halo of glory on the still beautiful earth,
and the silent stars. like calm angel-waSch-

peaceful dead. Then while Southern women
live and Southern flowers bloom, your love-

looks upon her children and misses his manly
form. In vain does she listen for his foot
steps; he sleeps that long dreamless slumber
from which the voice of love cannot awake

Believing that it will be subject of in
terest to the people, l take the liberty to
ask a place in your paper for few
words upon the condition and progress
Of our schools during the year just closed.


Various causes have combined to in
terfere with their prosperity, yet on the
whole the. c has been fair degree ofim-
provement: a thorough organization
has been effected, embracing all the de
partments and grades of the graded
schools in other sections, beginning with
the first Primary and extending through
a High School course of three years. To
give this organization the highest efiicien-
cy, larger instructing force and more
school room are needed and will doubt
less be secured.


During the year there have been en-
rolled, in all departments OF the white
school, 2l7 pupils, and in the colored 81,
making total of 304; which is larger
number than usual, in proportion to the
whole number of children Of school age
"A fact gratifying to the friends of our
euuCdJiUndi Interests. uc ca'claSc udily
attendance has been cut down by the
causes above alluded to.


Perhaps a word upon the necessity OF
having larger and more commodious
school building will not be out of place
here, If the prospects of Van Buren, are
even partially realized, the population
will increase more during the next year
than it has in the last ten, and there will
be correspondngly large increase in
the number of children to be admitted
into the Public Schools; yet there is not
room enough for those already here. 10
construct the right kind of building
would indeed require a heavy tax upon
the people now, hut the return would Tar
more than compensate for the expense,
besides the vast gain it would be to their
own children. The knowledge that we
have good educational facilities would be
one of the strongest inducements to the
intelligent class of immigrants, those
who would make the most desirable clti-
zens; many would remain here on that
account, and thus property would in
crease in value


This is a matter to be decided. if at all,
by a direct vote Of the people and hope
they will give it early attention.
