Do you know, I have almost decided to lecture this winter ir I can persuade anybody to hear me, which is problematical. I um going to work at my lectures, at nil events, and shall re<nine my elocution lessons to strengthen my voice.

Dear child, 1 wish I could Hinke vonr path straight and smooth to the highest success; but ouly that success is highest to which we make our way with pain and toil. When you como back we will have lone talks about this matter, and i-ve it weeanuot make qur cager ambition give place to excellent doing. I think Stuart might be Induced to place you on the starr. They have absolutely no lady at Winter Garden: that .Viss Johnson is n chamber? maid of the most hopeless order, and how Edwin Booth can play with her passes my cnderstaml lug. Now, if ever, women of power arc needed on the stage, and I believe way can be made. You know stuart loves thc Tribune.

No wonder that the miserable martyr to indigestion ls fretful, Irritable and unsocial. Whoever can bear the pangs of this tormenting complaint cheerfully and with an unruffled tem? per, Is little short of a saint. Rut why should j human fortitude continue to be thus severely tried, when an absolute specific for thc disease ls always at hand. Everywhere within the limits of civilization tn this hemisphere, UOTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS ls obtainable, and the history of the first case of dyspepsia In which lt has been administered In vain, has yet to bc written. The sickness at thc stomach, the sense of weakness and stupor, thc feeling or emptiness and hollow? ness before eating, and or oppression afterwards, thc fluttering or the pulse, the Intense nervous ir rltatlon, thc morbid indisposition to exertion, thc weariness of life and indifference to all Its plea? sures, which arc among the symptoms of thc dis? ease In its chronic form, arc rapidly ameliorated by the tonic operation of this palatable vegetable restorative, which seems to renovate and quicken all thc dormant rorces or thc system, and rouse thc mind from the aoalhv and gloom lusnoaxabin rroin a derangement or the digestive and secre? tive rnnctions. In ordinary cases, a row weeks suillccs to complete the cure, but when thc dis? ease ls complicated, as it orton ls, with torpidity or thc liver, severe constipation, Impurity or thc blood, ami a s'uggish circulation, a longer time may be required. Persevere, however, and the result is certain. An encouraging Improvement will be perceptible from day to day, and thc con? valescent, knowing and reeling that bc or she ls on thc high road to health, will await the happy Issue with comparative patience. aprl? 0 YOU CAN SAYE MONEY BY HAVING YOUR PRINTING j EXECUTED AT THE NEWS JOB !
