Strengthen your stomach and nervous system, regulate your liver and yoar bowels, tone all your organa and cheer your animul spirits wirb that agreeable cordial, tonic and alterative, Hostetter'sStomach Hitters So shall you surely escape the diseases which fasten upon the feeble and do bilituted. "Suffer and be strong," says the proverb; but "Be strong that you may not suffer," is the wiser maxim?and of all strengthening pre? parations tbis is the safest, the surest, the most genial. As a remedy, as well as an antidote, for dyspepsia, fever and ague, and liver disease, there is no combination of vegetable specifics at present known wbiob even approaches it in efficacy. Anticipate the ouemy The elements of innumerable diseases are afloat in tbis raw, damp, mephitio winter air. Will yon defend yourself against them or not, good reader? lbat is the question. A bottle or two of tbe great defensive medioine of the age, Hostetter's Bitters, will so strengthen snd braoe up yoor bodily powers as to enable them to "laugh a siege to scorn." The morbid matter whioh was exhaled in perspiration through your pores in summer finds no suob free egress now. A poworfal counteracting agent is, therefore, needed, and you have it in Hostetter's Bitters. They neutralize the material morbi, from whioh disease originates, aud regulate all tbe secretive organs.

F12 f3tl Ovs Cpanrriss?She died on Thurs? day bight, end on Friday afternoon ?ho wan carried from tbe fourth story back of a oheap tenement house- in a stained pineoofflo. It must bare been a relief to die, for aftec death there ia at leastnq hunger; and, bo it would have been* but lor tbe two children who leaned ou her as on a reed that breaks beneath, tho weight. Naturally, she waa anxious for them, and it is not strange that, while she lay iu her tnus lib shroud, the four strangers .besides the clergyman who attended her fune? ral remarked a lingering, cure-woru expression, as though the last sleep, which is baid to smooth out k 11 wrin? kles, bad been powerless to efface her solicitude. It was hard to leave those little ones to the uncertain charity of a tickle world, but doubtless the sisters who supplied the slender wants of tho invalid will sec to it that they have some roof to cover them und clothing to keep them from the pinching cold. oue of the most beautiful results of au udvauced civilisation is the dis? pensation of charity. A practical re? ligion t hat sees a brother or a sister in every sufferer aud recognizes the claim of the weak upon the strong is oue of the finest illustrations, while it is the stmugHsl proof, of the divine origin of rovelatiou. The religion which con? sists o( a regular aud punctual attend? ance upon the services of tho churoh is doubtless valuable. The Sabbath, with its test and quiet, its sleepiug commerce and its closed doors and burred windows, is an invaluable con servitor of the public morals. Silt that other kiud of religion which is the embodiment of obligations aud duties, whioh, like a loadstone, draws the gold of tho rich toward tbe cheer? less hearths and empty larders of the poor, contains an element which works like magic ou the general health of the community. The Christianity of a creed is well, but that of a noble life is tbo true evangel thut obarms ibe dullest ear with its refruiu, ??Peace on earth, good will to men L'ho story goes that she bad seen bet? ter days. She could hardly have seen worse. Only tun years ago she was the mistress of a freestoue ftont, ad mired for her grace and beajity, and courted for her wealth. Her busband was a successful dealer in stocks When the war broke out he had little or uothing. Wneu L.iu gave his sword to the victor he ooouted his wealth by millions, and waa generous to a fault. But who can tell what changes may oo car in the mercantile life of New York in the course of a few years? We are like a huge cauldron of water kept at (he. bubbling, boding poiut all the time. The hutrylpg drops which are at tbe bottom to-day rise to the top to morrow, while those whioh to day fondly dream that thoy are permanent? ly boo are at the top, suddenly begin to j sink, snd do uot rest until they toaoh the bottom. So this man's hundreds | of thousands faded uway into mere thousands, and his thousands, as chough saturated with tbo demoniac spirit of ill luck, became paltry hiu dreds, whioh melted like suowflikes when tbey fall on tbe river. Ho could not endure the shook, and his eud was chronicled in an obscure comer of the daily paper under che beading "Painful Suicide." The mother was horror-struck as she folded her babes to her bosom aud -.tared the world in the face. The old acquaintances? They were as though they had never been. They fluttered past her ou the December side-walk with their silks and furs, but they jeither knew her nor cured to rem*; Oer her. She had dropped from "the set," aud thut was enough. She sewed with bleeding fingers and a broken heart, and somehow the tears unbid? den fell on her pule cheeks as i thought of the past mid sighed at tht frailty of human friendship. She could j'tst pay the rent of two dingy rooms ou tho fourth story back in dark and unwholesome alley by work? ing fourteen hours a day. But, un? fortunately, poor people bave nervous systems, and fourteen hoars' work, with iusufHcieut food and broken r<o brooght her to tbe edgo of the grave. Just thou the friendly knock of charity was heard, tho few wauts of tLoj broken-hearted were supplied, aud, with a last, long, agonized look?a look and a praywr iu one?she was lifted out of her rags und out of the pestilence of that dark alley into Heaven. What a change! This is but a single illustration of tbe vicissitudes and the sadness whioh are occurring every day, and which are inevitably oooneoted with the life of a great city. Who can doubt the value of those manifold chanties which are the bene? dictions of tbo age, sod who cau with? hold his sympathy or bis purse from those institutions, tbo offspring of I every church, whioh are tho almoners of our good will to tbe poor and un? fortunate? Now York is generous in every direction. Its people are im? pulsive aud sympathetic. It may be gxaspiog and hard iu its mercantile | life, but it is never forgetful or ne glootful of tbe claims of that large I olass whioh finds it bard to live. It | listens to the eloquence of its favorite preaohers when they discourse of faith and hope, but it is not unmindful of tbe faot that "the greatest of these is charity."-?New York Herald. A Herald special letter from Sydney, New Sooth Wales, supplies tbe follow |log intelligence: The soiontifio world I has sustained a severe lose by the | I death of Professor Wilson, of the Melbourne University, who olosed a 1 useful career by writing an elaborate I paper on his observations of tbe tran? sit of Venne. Bs finished it in tbe small hours mi the night and died sud? denly within the same day. Sebeoribe f or the ttvamu? Max Ai>slkh's Rivalqx in ?ukPm,? I le?rn from a newspaper that "a Kan? sas widower woe tarred and feathered the other day because be didn't wear deep enoagb mouruing for his de? parted spouse." Tbie reminds me of the oonteet that has beeu raging in our village between Brown and Jones. Both of them lost their wives on the same day, and, after the funerals, Brown appeared again in public with three inches of crape on bis high bat, while Jones only bad two. Jones waa so much afraid people would think he didn't mourn for his wifo as deeply as Brown grieved for his, that he added four inches of erape to his hat, where? upon Brown, apprehending that peo? ple would believe that he thought more lightly of his loss than Joneu did of bis, put eight inches of orspe on his hut. Then, Jones determined not to bo outdone as a mourner for the dear departed, put on so muob more orape tbat it extended considerably abovo the top of bis hat crown. Wberenpon Urowu bee kino excited, and, cutting tho crown from his old hat, he dove? tailed it on his new one, and swathed it iu crape to the summit. Jones was unwilling to display envy, but the me? mory of Mrs. Jones Wae so sacred to him that be euveloped his hut in paste? board four feet high, aud wrapped it all in the blackest orape be could buy. But Browu, feeling that his love for Mrs. Browu demanded energetic ac? tion, bought fifteen feet of stove-pipe, jammed it down over hie hat, ban? daged it with 200 yards of crape, and onoo moro appeared upon the street. Then Jones sent to the city and ordered a hat eighty feet high, oraped six inches thiok. It was seat borne from the freight office on a dray, and the next morning Brown knocked off, married the Widow Metoalf, and re? sumed business in a straw tiat. Jooea is having hie mourning bat cut up into lengths, aud he hoped to be able to fill bis bete with them, if Ilia side lost in the election. A fire-shield has been iuvented by Oapt. Elijah Low, of Bangur, Maine, intended to meet a want long felt by Ore men in preventing fire from leap? ing across a street or to adjoining buildings. "This shield," says a local journal, "gives the firemen a great ad? vantage, iu that while they can ap? proach at working distance the hottest fire, they can command the opposite side of the street, or any adjoining building which could uot be ap? proached iu any other way. The de? vice is light aud portable?two men can easily bandle it?about fifty-four inches in width by six aud one-half feet in height, with a protecting carve at the top, the whole being of galva? nized iron. Near the centre, and on a level with the eye, is an orifice some eight iuch.es iu diameter, which can be wholly closed or opened sufficiently for the introduction of the nozzle of the hose when playing. The patent also ioolodes the insertion of a small window of mica, through which the boseman can watch the notion of the flames while fighting the hottest fire in safety." Trouble in the cotton mills of Fall River, Massachusetts, probably reached a culminutiou Saturday, and a disas? trous and general strike seems inevi? table. A conference of manufacturers, at which a delegation of disaffected weavers wa* preseut, waa held Satur? day evening, aud after lengthy discus? sion a proposition was agreed upon virtually giving back to the operatives one-third of., the ten per cent, re lue tiou. A meeting of the weavers of i ho Merchants''and Grauite and Cres? cent Mills was immediately held, und it w .s fauanimousty voted to refuso toy thing short of the restoration of their full pay. The two weeks' notice of ibo weavers in the tw? last named mills was on Saturday night, aud of the Merchants* OU Monday night. The operatives are1, therefore, on a strike, which must cause a stoppage of these three mills. Muob excitement exist- over the matter. A singular case of hydrophobia, and oue which has thus far bsfil'id medical skill, bus occurred near Pittabarg, Pa A yoang man was bitten in tbe hand by a dog three months ago; tbe wouud healed, and nothing but a soar re? mained to indicate tbat the member bad even been wounded. Tbe other night the young man's bed-fellow wee awakened by bearing him clawing at the bed clothes and barking like a dog; and, ou rousing him, was attacked with torrible fury. He seised his friend and held him down, but had to exort all his strength and dexterity to avoid being bitteu. The patient baa beeu removed to tbe Weatero Penn? sylvania Hospital, at Pittsburg, but is not expeoted to recover. The latest proposition is to rsise tba tax ou all grades of sugar half a oent per pound. A Washington special to the Chioago Times says that specula? tors, commercial gamblers and lobby sharks swarm around the door of tbe Commtttoo on Ways and Means, oatoh the members as they emerge, and fol? low them home with frantic appeals for points. Of oourse, if tbe positive action of the committee could be known twenty-four boars in advance of ita general publication, fortunes could be made by judioioae handling of staples on which a largo inoreeae of taxation might be recommended.
