Mothers, Tnt Your CMlcIren to Bed.
There may be some nioWiors Vho feel
it to be a self-denial to leave their par
lors, or firesides, or work, to put their
little children to bed. They think that
the nurse could do it just as well j that
it is of no consequence who " hears the
children say their prayers." Now, set
ting aside the pleasure of opening the
little bed and tucking the darling up,
there are really important reasons why
the mother should not yield this privi
lege to any one. In the first place, it is
tho time of all times when a child is in
clined to Bhow its confidence and affec
tion. All its little secrets come out with
more truth and less restraint j its naugh
tiness through the day can be reproved
and talked over with less excitement,
and with the tenderness and calmness
necessary to make a permanent impres
sion. It the little one has shown a de
Bire to do well and be obedient, its effort
and success can be acknowledged and
commended in a manner that need not
render it rain or self-satisfied.
We must mako it a habit to talk to
our children, in order to get from them
an expression of their feelings. We can
not understand tho character of these
little beings committed to our care un
less wo do. And if we do not know
what they are, we shall not be able to
govern them wisely, or educate them as
their different natures demand. Cer
tainly it would be unwise to excite
young children by too much conversa
tion with them just before putting thtui
to bed.
Every mother who carefully studies
the temperament of her children will
know how to manage them in this re
spect. But of this all mothers may be
assured, that the last words at night are
of great importance, even to the babies
of tho flock ; the very tones of the voice
they last listened to make an impression
on their sensitive organizations. Moth
er, d not think the time and strength
wasted, which you spend in reviewing
the day with your little bov or eirl : do
hot neglect to teach it how to pray, and
to pray for it in simple and earnest lan
guage which it can understand. Soothe
and quiet its little heart alter the expe
rience of the day. It has had its disap
pointments and trials as well as its play
and pleasures ; it is ready to throw its
arms around your neck and take its good-
mgnt kiss. Mother Magazine.
A Plea for the House Dog-.
A correspondent of the Maine Farmer
speaks these good words for the house
dog: What hard working farmer, on
returning at night to rest his weary
limbs, does not fuel that he is more safe
from burglars, and his stock, fowls and
orchards more secure from thieves and
midnight prowlers, both two and four
legged, if he has a good, faithful dog
about bib premises r Wnat good house'
wife, and all such prefer leaving their
bard day's work on the clothes line du
ring the dews of night, does not feel
that her clothes are more safe if Bose is
in the yard 'i When the little ones are
off berrying, fishing or wandering in the
woods, what parent does not feel less
anxious it iiose is with them t When
you are absent from home over night.
do you not feel that homo is more secure
if Bose guards the premises and who
greets your return with a more cheerful
welcome than he? From the earliest
period of history the dog has been tho
faithful companion of man, and is the
only species of the brute creation that
will forsake its own species and follow
man. A dog may be taught to be useful
in many ways, even to the saving of hu
man life. You can easily learn a dog to
go into tho water, and bring out a stick,
your hat or coat, and by tilling a suit
of your boy's clothes with straw and
throwing it into the river your log will
bring them out j and i your little boy
should accidentally fall into the water,
Bose would soon safely land him on the
Bbore.
A Palatable Mcdicluc.
Milk is an excollent remedial agent.
I'eopie sintering iroin disease require
food as much as those in health, and
'more so in certain diseases where there
is a rapid waste of the system. Fre
' quently all ordinary food in certain
diseases is rejected by the stomach and
loathed by the patient; but .Nature,
ever beneficent, lias furnished a food
that in all cases is beneficial ; in some
directly curative. Buch food is milk
In the East ladies, warm milk is used
to a great extent as a specific tor diar
rhoca. A pint every four hours will
check the most violent diarrhoea, stom
ach-ache, incipient cholera, and dysen
tery. The milk should never be boiled,
but only heated sufficiently to be agree
ablvlwarm not too hot to drink. Milk
which has been boiled is unfit for use.
The value of milk in cases of scarlet
fever has been fully tested, and is now
recommended by the medical faculty in
all cases of this often distressing chil
dren's disease. Give all the milk a pa
tient will take. Even during the period
of the greatest fever it keeps up tho
strength of tho patient, acts wen upon
the Btomaoh, and in every way is
blessed thing iu this sickness. Parents,
remember it, and do not fear to give it
if your dear ones are atllicted with this
disease.

An Exlentlvc Canning Establishment.
It is located at Rochester, N. T., and
is a large, threo-story brick building,
with basement and extension. The
company employ, during the long can
ning season, from 150 to 200 women,
who work by tho piece, as far a prac
ticable, and earn from 75 cents to f 1.50
per day. About 30 men are kept busy
with the heavier, work. Thev have
canned thus far this year 5,000 quarts
of strawberries i 2,000 bushels of cher
ries ; 20 acres of peas, probably about
400 bushels j 300 bushels string beans ;
expeot to can 3,000 bushels of plums ;
over 6,000 bushels of tomatoes; 1,000
bushela of peaches ; BOO bushels quinces;
and about same of Bartlett and Virga
licus pears. They have contracted for
the pickles of 33 acres. Allowing these
to average 80,000 per acre, the yield
would bo 2,800,000, which at f 1.80 per
1,000 the price paid would amount to
the snug little sum of $5,040.
X lie goods are sold inainlv to whole
sale dealers in our large cities, but some
orders are on file from Europe. Four
tinsmiths are at work the year round on
cans, and they can make about 2,400 a
day, but this year it has been necessary
to purchase several thousand outside.
Ihe American Rural Home describes at
length the processes, or at least such of
them as are not " secrets ot the pro
fession." About 30 barrels of best
granulated white sugar are consumed
daily at this time in making sirup to
sweeten plums. The sugar is dissolved
in, boiling filtered water until the sac
charometer indicates the requisite
strength, when it is strained through
white flannel, and is ready for use.
Square wooden boxes are used for boil
ing the cans, which are filled by hose
irom the cisterns, and heated by steam
from the boilers below. Nearly 5,000
can be boiling at the same time of the
smaller two-pounds size. They are filled
in the lower story, and 25 largo or 35
small ones, placed in a large iron pan,
with chains crossing diagonally irom
the four corners to bo used in handling
them. When a dozen pans are filled
they are raised by an elevator worked
by steam and placed 111 one 01 tho boxes.
When sufficiently cooked they are raised
trom the boxes by hooks worked upon
pulleys, and slid off upon long tables
upon wheels. Here cold water is show
ered upon them, and they are wheeled
into the front room and stored.
The front part of tho lower story is
used for weighing and assorting tha
fruit, filling anal soldering the cans, &c.
Ihe rear part contains the two bailers,
and tho engine used in pumping the
water, working tho elevator, &c. The
wing is used at present for taking in and
husking tho corn, and scalding, prepar
ing, and canning the tomatoes, ihe
basement is used entirely for tackling
cucumbers. Here they take in about
50,000 cucumbers a day, which they salt
down in empty molasses barrels, and
large tanks. Atter the canning season
is over, they take tho pickles out of the
brine, assort them, putting tho smaller
sine in bottles and the larger in barrels,
tilling with the best vinegar. 1 ho day
the writei visited tho factory, they were
running principally upon plums and
corn. Thi oe long tables were used in
assorting ihe plums, andfilling ihe cans.
They were taken from wagons into
a side door, weighed, and emptied upon
two of the tables, where they were care
fully assorted and carried to the third
table, where they were filled. Much
pains are taken to fill the cans full by
jaring and packing, and the company
claim that their cans are ruled the best
of any in market. When filled they are
taken to another table and filled with
hot sirup, and.thence parsed to the tin
smiths, who solder on the caps. They
are then placed by boys in the iron pans
on trucks, wheeled to the elevator, and
sent up to tho boilers. When the cans
are thoroughly cooled, they are handled
over, and the ends, which bulge out in
boiling, are pressed in, and it they re
main concave they are all right, but if
they spring back to their convex form
the air is not completely expelled, and
they aro thrown aside. About five m a
thousand are thrown out. They can
handle about 000 bushels of plums a
day with present facilities. This year
they can none but the yellow egg plum,
as they can obtain all they wish of that
sort. Most of those they use are grown
near the lake shore. They always pre
fer light-colored fruit, and use no other,
when they can obtain all they wish of
white or yellow. They used none but
white cherries this year. iStowell's
Evergreen Sweet Oorn is tho only va
riety they preserve, justly regarding
that as the sweetest and largest grained
of any. They can handle 500 bushels a
day of ears.
They can handle from eight to ten
tuns of tomatoes in a day, which at CO
pounds to the bushel, equals from 2G0
to 333 bushels. They are assorttd into
large baskets, in which they are lowered
into a tank of boiling water until suffi
ciently scalded, removed to tables where
they aro peeled and the hnrd coro cut
out, removed to another table, where
they aro forced through Ltvge tunnels
into the cans, and Boldered up:n another
table. As much as possible of the juice
is expressed and wasted so that the cans
may contain as much solid pulp us pos

Facts About Djsj)eis!a.
' Dyspepsia is a weak stomach, made
weak by overwork, and, like a man made
weak by overwork, it needs rest, needs
repose ; but, as we cannot live without
eating, tho necessity must be met by
giving the stomach as little work to do
as possible, and that work should be
easy, just as we ourselves, in the weak
ness of recovery from disease, invite our
strength back by doing but little work,
and that which can be easily done.
The cure of roost cases of dyspepsia
becomes extremely simple, and very cer
tain, if these few first principles are ju
diciously applied in any given caso to
wit :
Give the stomach but little to do; let
that little be of a kind which is easily
done, and let both be so arranged that
the stomach may do its work easily and
soon, and have abundant time for rest.
The work of the stomach is called " di
gestion," and means the proeess of pre
paring the food for yielding its nutrient
portions to the system, to give it warmth,
growth, and strength.
As a general thiug, dyspeptics should
net drink anything at meals, because
there is a liquid iu the stomach which
dissolves the food in a sense, melts it.
If cold water is drank it cools this stomach-liquid,
and it loses its power of
melting the food, so to speak ; as the
cooler tho water is, the less is it able to
melt the ice in it. Of course, every phys
iologist knows that this comparison is
not critically true ; but it conveys the
essential practical idea to the minds of
tho masses.
rimpkln Tersns Bodkin.
Jeremiah Timpkin was an honorable
citizen and a householder, and among
his class he was an oracle. He flattbred
himself on his shrewdness. He often
declared that he should have been a law
yer. He fancied that Solon Bodkin,
Esquire, would have fared but simply
against him in forensio contest. Pimp
kin raised turkeys, and upon a certain
occasion it happened that a prowling
dog made a raid upon his flock and kill
ed four fine gobblers tha, were being
fatted for the Thanksgiving market.
Fimpkin made due inquiry and investi
gation, and satisfied himself beyond a
peradventure that the marauding canine
was tho property of Lawyer Bodkin.
Hero was an opportunity he had long
ooveted. He waited upon the lawyer in
his office, and Was warmly welcomed,
and invited to a seat.
" Squire," said Pimpkin, " s'pose a
neighbor's dog should kill a lot of my
turkeys, could I recover damages by
law?"
"Certainly," replied Bodkin, "you
can recover, that is, if you cm prove
tho lact."
" O, I can prove it. I've got the evi
dence all right and tight. And so you
think there can be no doubt '"
" Not in the least. And now, what
are the circumstances ?"
"Well, Squire, last night your dog
killed four of my best turkeys. What
d'yo think about it now 'r"
" Why, my dear sir, I think you can
recover. That is the law. What is the
amount of damage '("
" Them turkeys was worth a dollar
apiece, Squire. Four dollars will settle."
" All right," said Bodkin. " I wish to
deal legally. Here is the sum."
And the lawyer handed over the four
dollars, which Pimpkin took with a
chuckle, and then departed.
Jeremiah Pimpkin had reached his
home, having related his Bharp practice
with the lawyer to all his friends whom
he had met on the way, and had just told
the story to his wife, when Deputy Sher
iff Eeacher unceremoniously entered his
domicile.
" A small bill, Mr. Pimpkin, which
Squire Bodkin says I will collect or ho
will sue it to-day."
" A bill ! Squire Bodkin '. " echoed
Piuipkin, aghast.
" Yes," smiled tho Sheriff," a bill for
professional services in the case of ' Pimp
kin vermis Bodkin.' He says you sought
advice upon legal points bearing on the
case. The bill is five dollars, sir, ex
pense of officer, ono dollar total, six
dollars."
Pimpkin scratched his head vigorous
ly, but he could scratch no path out from
the trouble. He paid the bill, and from
that time he was never heard to speak
boastingly of his legal acumen.
He Knew Him Like a Book.
This story comes from Bangor, Me :
Near Bangor, in a little village, there
dwelt, many years gone by, a lay mem
ber, who kept week days a country
store, and on Sundays ho would preach
or exhort around among the neighbor
ing towns, whero ho could rind a vacant
pu'pit.
He was a man of limber tongue, and
could sell Yankeo notions and preach
tho Gospel very handy.
It was his way to load np a wagon
and peddle all through tho country,
leaving his store in the charge of his
wife during his absence.
Finding himself, late in tho week,
upon a certain time, too far from home
to get back, and having sold oat his
load, which at that time consisted of
dried apples, which, by the way, were a
little wormy, ho gave notice that he
would preach tho next day, which was
Sunday, to the people.
Many gathered to hear him. His
text was : " And by their fruits ye shall
know them." He handled this subject
in his usual gallant manner, and, closing
up his sermon with a glittering para
graph, he repeated the text. " Yes, my
friends, and by their fruits yo shall know
them."
Just at this point up jumped a retail
grocer in the place, who had dealt with
the exhorter the night before, and said,
loud enough to be heard if tho church
had been twice as large : " Yes, friend,
and hythc worms in their dried apples, too."
Waves of Sound.
Experiments prove that sound is sim
ply upplying force to tho air, which
moves in a succession of undulatory vi
brations. Every word spoken is a breath
force, pushing a column of air from the
exterior of the mouth. When sound is
produced in a long organ pipe or a short
one, the difference is made thus : the vi
brations are made slow in the first and
quick in the othor. Vibrations or waves
are one thousand in a second in one, for
example, and four thousand in the other
in the same second. But wavelets of
sound move off in space with equal ve
locities, and both arrive at the ear at the
same instant. On tho law of acoustics
depends the pleasure derived from music.
If the notes did not travel with equal
speed there would be utter confusion,
all harmony being destroyed if one
sound arrived too late for carrying on
the chain of acoustic vibrations within
the ear. But the apparatus for receiv
ing sound and analyzing it, so as to de
rive ui th gratification and instruction
from its impulses on a few threads of
nerves finer than the smallest thread
ever epun, is one of the curiosities of
animal organism.
Tho Baldwin Apple.
Not more than one in ten of thoso
who enjoy the superior flavor of the
Baldwin apple, knows from Whence it
originated, ror the enlightenment ot
the ignorant nine, we will inform them
that this peculiar species of fruit cauie
from a seedling planted by Josiuh
Pearce, Esq., of the town of Baldwin,
Me. From this stock innumerable grafts
have extended the fruit far and wide j
but from a well-known law of extension,
the Baldwin apple is rarely found in
perfectiem when far removed from the
place where it originated. In Maine,
the color, texture, aroma, and solidity
of the apple leave nothing to desire, be
ing in truth so delicious, that it might
have been akin to the one said to have
brought difficulty upon our mother Eve,
In other localities, where the soil, cli
mate, or culture may have proved un-
ti'iendly, what is called the Baldwin ap
pie may often be found a total failure,
being puffy, insipid, and Bubject to early
decay.

Profits of Farming. If a merchant
in the city is able to earn a competence
of ?3,000 to $5,000 a yar, he is consid
ered wealthy by most farmers ; yet this
entire sum is often expended in provid
ing the ordinary comforts of living ; and
at the end of the vear he is, in propor
tionate progress, but little ahead of the
tarmer, who has not been compel lea to
pay a rent of $ 1,800 a year for his home,
but rather has got his living from tho
homestead as he went along. Although
occasional fortunes are made in the larg
er cities, yet we venture to say that the
average comfort of farm life and freedom
from anxiety for obtaining a livelihood,
aro far ahead of most city residents. In
the case of the farmer, his own hands
make tho food he eats j while the city
consumer is at the mercy of thousands,
who constantly absorb his daily earn
ings and give little back. City lifo is
ono of constant expenditure Farm life
is self-sustaining and preservative. A
young laborer 111 tho country, working
at one dollar per day and board, is pro
portionately better off and more inde
pendent than a clerk in a city on $700 a
year, who has to expend sftfOO for a liv
ing. One can save at the end of the
year just as much as the othor ; and, if
there are chances in favor of either for
obtaining a good name and competence,
they aro on tho Bide of the country lad.
Any farmer who can Biipport himself on
a farm comfortably, and make it pay a
net income of 7 per cent, on its cost, is
far ahead in competence of the citizen
who lives in a brown stone front on a
magnificent salary, and has to spend it
all for life and "appearances." Ex
change. now Much Pork will a Busiiel of
Corn Make? Some years ago, when I
was just beginning to farm, I was desir
ous of knowing the best way of fatten
ing hogs, and I determined to try the
different plan, and also to ascertain
how much pork a barrel of corn would
mako. I made a floored pen and cov
ered it in. Weighed three hogs and put
them in tho pen. I also weighed three
of tho same size and put them in a dry
lot average weight one hundred and
seventy pounds. I fed six barrels of
corn to tho six hogs. They were forty
days eating the corn, with a plenty of
salt and water. Their average gain was
seventy-five pounds. The hogs in the
lot gained tho most. One that was fat
tened in tho lot gained eighty-eight
pounds. Ono in the pen gained eighty
four pounds ; the other four were not so
thrifty.
These hogs were about fourteen
months old when slaughtered. I put
them up the 25t,h of October. There
was a good deal of sleet and snow during
the month of November, which gave the
hogs in the pen an advantage they
would not have had if tho weather had
been favorable ; they were each fed on
the same quality of grain. It also shows
that ono bushel f corn will make fifteen
pounds of pork, and that the six barrels
of corn made cloven dollars andtwenty
fivo cents worth of pork, at two and
one-half cents per pound ; and that tho
farmer gets twelve and one-half cents for
his labor 01 leeding per bushel, over
selling at twenty-five cents per bushel.
Hogs will fatten fatter in September and
October than they will 111 cold weather.
Another very important question or
inquiry suggests itself from tho forego
ing, and that is, What is it worth to
raiso hogs to the average weight of ono
hundred and seventy-five pounds ? It
may be difficult to determine tho exact
value of the grass, clover and grain fields
that the hog leeus on while growing to
a gross weight of one hundred and seventy-five
or two hundred pounds, but
with these assistants I can raiso a hog to
weigh one hundred and seventy-five
pounds and over, with one barrel of earn.
It will be seen from these estimates that
two barrels of corn, with the advantage
of grass, clover and grain fields, will
produce about two hundred pounds of
net pork or two hundred and fifty pounds
gross.
Hogs do best in large fields, with plen
ty of water, and the farmer who cuts up
his corn in the months of September and
October, and hauls it out 011 his fields,
will bo amply paid for his labor, in tho
improvement of his land, from the stalks
and manure of hogs. It is a great sav
ing of labor to turn the hogs in the field
when the quantity of hogs and the size
of the field suit. Correspondence Ohio

Trices Extraordinary.
A Bale ha3 lately taken place in Scot
land of the greater portion of the cele
brated herd of short-horned cattle bo
longing to the Earl of Dunmore, and
tho prices given were such as could
hardly have failed to satisfy the mtst
exacting seller.
" Bright Eyesr' sold to Mr. Brassey,
son of the great contractor, for $2,000 ;
another to tho same gentleman for $1,-
850 ; " Sid.lington " to Lord Kective lor
f 2,500 ; another to the same, $1,050;
" Marchioness of Oxford," $3,050 ; Ox
ford Duchess, $7,500; another for $1,500.
The forty-eight heifers sold fetched
$60,000. The lowest sum brought for a
heifer was $225, and the highest $7,500.
The sale comprised the entire herd at
Dunmore, save a few favorite old cows
retained as the nucleus of a future herd.
At this rate cattle farming ought to pay,
ono would think; the enormous high
average is more remarkable than the
prices given for single animals. Lord
Dunmore, who is a young man, passed
some time in Canada a lew years ago,
when in the Guards. He is married to
the daughter of the greatest nobleman

How te Scrnre ft Pleasant Expression.
Ono of our New York city papers is
responsible for the following : Mr.
Charles Williams has lately attained ce
lebrity as a sneak thief. Having stolen
a lot of laces from a shop in Grand
street, been arrested, escaped from the
officer, and been recaptured, it was or
dered by Superintendent Kelso that his
pciture should be taken for the celebrated
"rogues' gallery." To this Charles,
modest as regards his pretensions, no
doubt, demurred. When placed in the
chair, and tho .instrument brought to
bear on his face, he fell to making the
most horrible grimances, shut his eyes,
opeued his mouth, and resorted to other
devices not improving to his naturally
prepossessing countenance. On a sec
ond attempt, tho unwilling sitter kicked
over the camera and knocked out one of
the lenses. Finally, by dint of hand
cuffs and a strap under his chin to keep
his mouth shut, a picture was got of the
engaging youth, tho sole defect of which
is that the eyes are closed. Thus the
"counterfeit presentment" of Charles,
wrapped, to appearance, in infantile
slumber, now graces tho wall of tho
rogues' gallery. If all ihe peojile gifted
with no greater share of beauty than
this ornament to society wore equally
averse to its reproduction, the number
of hideous countenances at the doors
and in the rooms of the photographers
would be vastly diminished.
How Trees aro Killed by Lightning.
All who have examined a tree which
has been destroyed by a " thunderbolt "
will have noticed not only how tho lay
ers of the wood have been shattered and
separated into strips, as if full of wind
shakes, but also the dryness, hardness,
and brittleness of tho wood, as though
it had been through the process of cur
ing in a kiln. This is attributed to the
instantaneous reduction of tho sap the
moisture within the wood into steam.
When this moisture is abundant, as in
May or early June, the amount and
force of tho steam not only bursts and
separates the layers and fibres, but rends
tho trunk in pieces or throws off a por
tion of it, down a line of greatest power
or at least resistance. And when the
amount of steam thus suddenly genera
ted is less, owing to the drier conation
of the stem from continual evaporation
and leaf exhalation, there may be no
external trace of the lightning stroke ;
yet the leaves will wither in a few days,
showing that tho stem has been render
ed incapable of conveying supplies, and
the tree will either partially or entirely
die. Still lighter discharges may be
conducted down tho moist stem, without
any lesion or hurt. lluilding Setcs.

CoMK, AND l.KT US REASON" ToOETIIKR.
To the ulllicted in body, we oiler a few words
of plain, practical reasoning. No matter
under what form of sickness von labor there
is one great truth you should ever keep in
mind, viz.: All disease originates in an im
pure condition of the blood, l'urify that,
and the disease must depart, for it has noth
ing to teed on ; but you cannot punlv the
blood by the use of poisonous drugs, nnd ex
hnustite stimulants ; the relief which these
utl'ord is temporary and deceptive, leaving you
worse oil' at every interval. The best lilood
l'urifier ever discovered is Dit. Wai.kkk'h
Famous Yi.neiiau Uittkr, compounded of
simple herbs,
' By Heaven dc.ltucd for Man's Kreat use."
Xo matter how hopeless your case may seem,
try the Vinwiaii Uitti-.ks, und a few draughts
will convince you of their virtue. Dli.
Walkkh, the discoverer of this priceless
remedy, had been given up to die by the Phy
sicians, and it now a sound and healthy man
from their use.
Tub Latest Swindle. Certain sancti
monious charlatans would faiu persuade the
world that dill'iii-ivc stimulants have no me
dicinal value, and that detestalilo slops, com
posed of (rr.ping acids and drastic purgatives,
uru better tonics Unn the liuest vegetable in
gredients combined with the purest and mel
lowest products of the still. But this sort of
thing won l go down. The stomach of our
common sense rejects it, as the physical stom
nch of every man with an nudeiiruved valale
rejects, with loathing and abhorrence, the nau!
eeous aliouiiUiiliuiLS. " free from nlcnhnl "
which Humbugs are tning to thrust down
the throats of Temperance Invalids under the
pretence that the tilth will do them good ! It
is not likely that while Plantation Bitters,
the Standard Tonic of America, is anywhere
accessible, suck sickening liaiids can make
much headway, but it is as well to put the
public ou their guard ugalust Iticiu.
Many valuable horses, die from the effects of
colic. Ihe best thing to do in a case ot this
kind Is to pour a bottlo of Johnson't Anodyne
Liniment iuto a loug-uecked juuK bottle, add
u UI pint molasses and water, then pour the
whole down the horse s throat. Ju ten min
utes the Imrte will begin to eat.
rarsonf Purgative Pilli will greatly re
lieve, if not entirely cure, dyspepsia when
evei ylbiug else laws. They Have been tried iu
seme, desperate case?, and have given more
reliel lliau any other medicine.
There was a man in our town,
Andhe was wondrous wise,
lie had a pain from ear to ear,
Another between bis eyes ;
And when he saw ha bad Catarrh,
With all bis might and main
He purchased Sage's Remedy
And has bis health again.'

Defend Tour Health.
Tho fall of tho leavos not only eymbolizcs human
decay bnt promotes It. In other word?, the effluvia
from dying and rotlliift vegetation Is unfavorable to
health. To this and other cau;cs opcciallyxcei of
moisture In tho atmosphere may bo apcribed tho
prevalence of acute disorders of tho stomnch, boweln
and liver at thin season. Every person of bilious habit
ts liab'o to be very bilious In tho fall. Then, too, all
porions whoe digestion U weak aro moro than ordi
narily dyspeptic, and individuals predisposed to colic,
diarrhoea and dysentery are particularly likely to bo
attacked by thoee complaints. The most complete de
fence acain-t oaoh and all of the so digressing ail
ments Is bodily vigor. To obtain this blessing in all
its plontltude whoro it does not exist, and to prcservo
and porpotuato It where it does exist, Ilostctttr'a
Htomach iiitters Is earnestly recommended. It Is the
poculiar office of this preparation to reinforce and reg-
ulato the important organs which digest and temper
tho food, and convert it into life sustaining blood.
Dodlly vigor depends npon the nourishing qualities of
that fluid, and tho nutritiomnei'S of the blood deponds
npon the functional activity and regularity which it
is the special province of tho Hitters to secure Hcnco
it U the best defence of health at this season, and In
doed at all seasons. When dynontery, dinnhuca, bil
ious colic, and othor violent affections of tho bowels,
bctomo epidemic, as they often do In certain parts of
the oountry in tho fall, it will bo found that persons
who have Uoen wlio enough to roeort to tho Hitters as
a preventive are almost invariably exempted from the
Fcourgo.
