JUSTICE TO WOMAN.
Men, especially Englishmen and
Americans, are as a rule, wonderfully
generous to women. Thousands of
theni labor for their mothers, their
wives or their daughters all their life
Jong, and the higher minded are full of
chivalrous indulgence for all women.
If we count over with speechless indig
nation the hundreds of men who in our
country, yearly beat and trample their
wretched wives to death, we must never
allow that hideous fact or any other of
'the many wrongs of our sex to bind us
to the counterbalancing truth, that the
average Englishman means well to wom
en and will make no small sacrifices for
them; and there exists at least as many
noble and high-hearted men. irenuine
champions of our sex, in parliament and
out of it, as there .are wife-beating ruf
fians in the slums of Liverpool ana Lon
don. But with all their kindly feelings,
their good intentions, their readiness to
labor and sacrifice themselves for wom
en, men give us most rarely what we
really want, not favor, but justice.
Nothing is easier than to coax them to
pet us like children, nothing more diffi
cult than to persuade them to treat us
like responsible human beings. Only a
small number of them, it would seem,
can yet be brought to realize that we
have not only mouths to be fed and
hearts to be comforted by faithful affec
tion, but also brains to be cultivated,
and wills seeking also, like their own,
for the free use of whatever powers we
mav inherit. That a woman should
really possess public spirit, and
that its exercise should be as ennobling
to her as it is to a man, this is a lesson
which it takes most, men half a life-time
to learn.
SOCIAL AND FEKSONAL DDTY.
We hear a great deal of social duty in
these days under the name of "Altru
ism," and as much of the philosophy of
the hour has relegated God to the land
of shadows, and cut off from man that
"hope of immortality- which gives to vir
tue its indefinite extension; it follows, of
course, that social dutjr must come to
be considered as the supreme and only
real moral obligation, and even the
most sacred personal duties end in be
ing ranked and estimated according to
the influence they happen to exercise on
the welfare of the community. I cannot
too strenuously express my clissentfrom
this entire view of morality. As I be
lieve thai virtue is a far higher thing, a
more desirable thing even to the weak
est of us than happiness, so, as I have
just said, I belie e that we have been
made primarily for virtue, and only sec
ondarily, and as far as may be compati
ble with our primary end, for happiness,
and I cannot listen to the base theory
of human existence which makes of
such things as truth and purity, and
holiness of heart, only convenient char
acteristics tending generally to make
the community in which they abound a
little more orderly and comfortable. On
the contrary, I believe that the individ
ual himself, the communit3r itself, the
very material world itself, all exist for J
the purpose that human spirits may
rise through the paths of mortal excel
lence up into loftier regions of purity,
love, and holiness to a beatitude com
pared to which our poor happiness of
earth will be utterly forgotten.
SELF-RESPECT.
Let me, if f may, without presump-t-ou,
speak to the young ones among
you, as a woman who has borne some
what of the battle and heat of the day.
Awake to recognize your true rank in
creatiou, your noble destination. Laugh
at the doctrine that you are a sort of a
moon, with no raison d'etre but to go
circling round a very earthy planet; or
a kind of parasite ivy or honeysuckle
in the forest. You may be, you proba
bly are less strong, less clever, less rich
and less well educated than most of the
men about you. But moral rank does
not depend on these things. You are a
rational free agent, a child of God, des
tined to grow nearer to grow nearer to
him and more like him through the ages
of immortality. As such you are the
equal Cebenwurdig, as people sav of
royal alliances) with the loftiest of cre
ated beings, not one of whom can have
a higher destiny. Cast they aside, for
shame's sake, the faults and follies
whicli have accumulated around our
womanhood through long centuries of
the minority of our sex. Little girls
may fitly play with toys, and dress dolls,
aud chatter in the nursery for hours
over some weighty concern of the baby
house; but it is a pitiful sight to see
grown women making all life a child's
play. Rise, I pray 3Tou, to the true dig
nity of a human being to whom petty
feelings and small vanities and servile
wheedling tricks must be repugnant aud
abominable. Respect yourself too much
to dress like a doll or a peacock, or to
betray that you must have spent hours
in devising the trimming of a gown.
Aud respect other women also, and nev
er join men in sneering at the deplora
ble weakness which have followed from
their wretched circumstances and edu
cation. When I see in the street a poor,
threadbare, broken-spirited women,
wearing that peculiar look of patient,
hopeless endurance which belongs to
women only, to trodden down wives or
starving widows, my heart aches for the
hapless creature. But when I see an
other woman, health and prosperous
as the world goes, abasing herself to the
mean artifices and cajolings, the wheed
lings and subterfuges which some wives
use to manage their master and to avert
his wrath or to hide from him her most
innocent actions, then my heart burns
with indignation, not so much against
the woman herself as against the dead
weight of life-long oppression which has
warped her into this pitiful, superanua
ted school girl.
I cannot laugh at these
things. I cannot heap scorn on such
women. I scorn too much the whole
theory of woman's life which has made
them what they are.
PLEASANT HOMES.
We all know that life is made up
chiefly of little pleasures and little pains,
and how many of the former are in the
power of the mistress of a house to pro
vide, it is almost impossible to calculate.
But let any clever woman simply take it
to make everybodv about her as happy
as site can, and the result, believe, will
always be wonderful. Let her see that,
so far as possible, they have the rooms
they like best, the little articles of furm-
:: r nmnnpiits thev trefer. Let
t.. ,Mvlpr meals with a careful
fore-
feoncrlit; for their tastes, and
for the
necefsities of their health; seeing thai
prprvone has what he desires, and niak-
that
,-n a- him feel, however humble in posi
tion, that his tastes have
been remem-
bered. Let her not disdain to pay such
attention to the chairs and sofas of the
family dwelling rooms as that every indi
vidual may be comfortably placed, and
feel that he 01 she has not been left out
in the cold. And after all these cares,
let her try not so much to make her
rooms splendid and aesthetically admir
able, as to make them thoroughly habit
able and comfortable for those who are
to occupy them; regarding their comfort
rather that her own aesthetic gratifica
tion. A drawing-room, bright and clean,
sweet with flowers in summer, or with
dried rose-leaves in winter; with tables
at which the inmates ma- occupy them
selves, and easy chairs wherever they
are wanted, and plenty of soft liht and
warmth, or else of coolness adapted to
the weather this sort of room belongs
more properly to a woman who seeks to
make her house a province of the king
dom of heaven, than one which might
be exhibited at South Kensington as
having belonged to the kingdom of
Queen Anne!
Washington Etiquette.
Harper' Magazine for March.
Questions of etiquette are sometimes
very troublesome in Washington, and all
the more because very many of the den
izens of that city, who come from dis
tant and rural homes, know and care
nothing about etiquette. How little the
honorable gentleman from Symmes's
Hole suspects, as he is asked to take
Mrs. Senator Red Velvet to dinner, that
the chair in which he shall sit and the
lady whom Jie shall hand out have been
subjects of long and anxious delibera
tion. It is easy to call on Wormley, or
Welcker or Pinard, or some other chef,
and order a dinner for twenty. But
who shall sit where.and who shall hand
whom? these are the questions which
cause vexation aim anguish. A distin
guished official gentleman in Washing
ton gave a noble repast in honor of a
noted guest. It was ordered of the
proper purveyor. "Xow,' said the
host, when he had bade no expense to
be spared, "I don'tknow anything about
the business of seating people correctly.
You must attend to that too." The pur
veyor went straight to another distin
guished man, who had not been invited
to the dinner because it would not be
agreeable to some other distinguished
man who was invited, and distinguished
man number one was immensely
amused that he was called upon to seat
the guests at a dinner to which he was
not himself invited.
It is all the more perplexing because,
although Washington is alwa3rs full of
official persons who are really indifferent
to etiquette, and who greet it with a
hearty democratic laugh, yet because of
its official population there has been
from the first especial attention paid by
experts to the suject. Wellington took
grave counsel upon it, and Hamilton
gave him some canons of behavior in
writing, and there is allegedtobeamore
rigid system of social etiqu tto among
official persons in Washington than is to
be found in any circle elsewhere in the
country. There are asserted to be due
rules for the ''first calling" of Senators'
wives, and the wives of members of the
cabinet and of justices of the supreme
court. Precedence at table is alo a
knotty point involving great trouble of
soul. Some years ago a senator gave a
dinner to which the secretary of state
was invited. When dinner was an
nounced, the host turned to the senior
senator, the dean of the senatorial cham
ber, and asked him to take the lady of
the house to table. The senator hesitat
ed, saying to his colleague that the sec
retary of state was in the room.
"Pshaw! we senators make secretaries
of state," was the answer; and the host
insisted that in his house nobody should
precede the dean of his own body.
Alexander Campbell.
Pen Moines Register.
There is no character which stands
out more prominently in the ecclesiast
ical history of the present century than
that of the Rev. Alexander Campbell.
It has never been the fortune of the
writer to see or read a life or biography
of that distinguished man; yet we take
pleasure in recording some of our early
recollections of him. He was the orig
inator of the Disciples' church. He was
in early life a Presbyterian, but with
drew from that church and joined the
Baptist, from which he was expelled but
a short time previous to the circum
stances which we are about to relate. It
was at the debate between Mr. Camp
bell and Robt Owen, of Lanark, Scot
land in the old stone church in Cincin
nati, in April, 1829, that impressed Mr.
Campbell's personality as well as his
great intellectual character on our mind.
That debate is celebrated in polemic
history, being brought on by a challenge
from Mr. Owen made in New Orleans
in 1828, to all of the ministers in Christ
endom to debate with him the truth of
all religions. He denying, and his op
ponent to affirm the truth of the Christian
religion on logical principles.
Robert Owen, of New Lanark, was a
man of great wealth, of finished educa
tion, but a notorious infidel. He repu
diated the Bible and all religious princi
ples, repudiating the Christian insti
tution of marriage. He established the
infidel colony of New Harmony, Ind.,
similar in many respects to the Oneida
Community, in New York. He was the
father of Robert Dale Owen, for many
years a prominent scholar, politician
and infidel of Indiana, aud the author of
that horrible book, "Foot prints on
the Confines of the Two Worlds."
Robt, Owen had gained a world wide
reputation for learning and erudition in
dealing hard and dextrous blows as a
polemic theological disputant He had
the reputation of having slaughtered
several disputants who Tiad dai-ed to
meet him. Hence when he threw down
the glove to the world, it took some
moral courage, and a man who had
faith in his ability to do battle for Chris
tianity, to accept the challenge. Alex
ander Campbell was the man. and prob
ably the best man of that day for that
grand theological tournament. He had
confidence in the omnipotence of truth,
and of his ability in its beauty and pow
er. Mr. Campbell accepted, and agreea
to meet Owen in debate at Cincinnati.
The whole country w. 3 excited. The
church was crowded day and night for
eight daj's.
At that time, from our recollection.
Mr. Campbell was about forty years of
age, with a long face, rather small head,
bright, sparkling and cheerful counte
nance, and finely arched forehead.
Though in middle life, he had the
earnest vigor of youth, with a sprinkle
of gray foairs on his crown. The im
pression he made on a man was peculiar
and lasting. He so stamped his power
and genius upon the mind that neither
time nor circumstances effaces it. No
one in his presence trembled for fear of
his failure. He possessed confidence in
himself and intuitively imparted it g"
his hearers. He was mild aud docile in
manner, yet he convinced any beholder
that he had the courajre and jrrace of
perseverance to a degree that would not
retreat an inch in the way of concession
to escape the crack and pudder of a
dissolving world. He was a remarka
ble man m the use of language, clear
and comprehensive, yet condensed to a
superlative degree. He could say more
in-fewer words than any speaker we
ever heard. He had present with him
his venerable father, who was also a
minister.
Mr. Owen was a true patron of a
healthy, robust Scotchman, dressed as
plain as a Quaker. His nose was so
large as to be almost a promontory.
He was full of good nature, but his fre
quent success in debate had made him a
little insolent and overbearing. In de
bate he was like nearly all of the promi
nent characters of the infidel school,
such as Paine, Ingersoll, etc.; he had a
few hobbies which he parades on all oc
casions and for all purposes. And not
withstanding Mr. Campbell proved that
they were all "lame, halt and blind,"
he paraded them at every turn for the
entire eight days of debate. But Mr.
Campbell clearly demonstrated that he
was probably the ablest polemic debater
of his age, and from his great ability,
his well stored mind, and his self-possession,
it was soon discovered by the
audience that he was master of the situ
ation. Yet Owen struggled manfully,
backed by his former reputation. It is
probable," however, that in the entire
history of theological debates there is no
instance of so thorough and complete a
defeat as Mr. Owen rv ceived at the hands
of Mr. Campbell. And Mr. Owen felt
keenly the defeat, as shortly afterwards
he returned to Scotland, and never
again returned to the United States to
look after his important enterprise at
New Harmony, Ind.
At the close of the debate on the even
ing of the eighth day, it being evident to
both parties that the debate was about
to end, Mr. Owen voluntarily took it
upon himself to test before the public
the result of the debate. So before he
took his seat he said: "You who be
lieve in the Christian religion and rever
ence its influence, be pleased to rise to
your feet" As almost by electric move
ment, nearly the entire mass rose to
their feet. He then invited them to be
seated, and asked those friendly to Mr.
Owen's theory to rise. Not over three
or four rose. Then such a shout was
raised as is seldom heard in a church,
except in some of the old fashioned
Methodist revivals. The writer did not
hear but one day's debate, but ever siuce
the form, figure and presence of that
noble man, Rev."Alexander Campbell,
has ever been before him.
A STATESMAN'S DEATH.
The Death Bed of Senator Carpenter.
Judge McArthur, of the supreme
court of the district of Columbia, made
a statement to .the Wisconsin republican
association in regard to the death bed of
Senator Carpenter:
On the afternoon of Wednesday- last I
visited him at his residence and stood by
his bedside, where he was then :isleep.
I saw a dreadful change had happened.
The end was written upon his face, and
then for the first time I gave up' all
hope. .
Upon calling in the evening I found
his respiration painful and laborious,
and it seemed as if his life were strug
gling to retain its dominion in every
breath. A torpor had seized upon his
consciousness, but his attention could be
aroused to particular persons or objects.
Placing my hands upon his shoulders
aud gently shaking him, I asked him if
he knew me. After a second he replied.
"It's the judge;" and then, after a short
pause, he added, "Mrs. Carpenter and I
have been talking of coming over to see
j'ou," and then, as if his old spirit of
humor and merriment had returned, he
said, "Judge, 1 want to make a motion,"
to which I answered that his motion was
granted without argument.
Au hour or two
after midnight I was
again by his
bedside. He was still
weaker than before, and the vital forces
were yielding slowly but surely to the
impending catastrophe. At this time
there were present his wife, his daugh
ter and his son. Dr. Fox, who had
traveled night aud day from Milwaukee,
and who supplemented science with
friendship and love, was also present,
as was also Mr. Chas. G. Williams.
As the members of his own fatuity sat
b3 the death bed of him they loved so
dearly it seemed to me the most beauti
ful,most sad and touching tableaux I ev
er witnessed. At length daylight broke
through the crevices of the curtains, and
seemed to come forth in unclouded
splendor and the atmosphere was balmy
as the early da3's of spring. It was full
of the elixir of life, but brought no re
lief to our friend. Leading Mrs. Car
penter to the window I askea her if she
could remember the d3'ing expression of
the jreat Mirabeau, whom her husband
so much resembled in his powers of per
suasion. "Open the windows," he ex
claimed, "and draw aside the curtains,
and let the sunshine fill the apartment
aud bathe me in its beams, and let the
incense of the garden reach nty senses,
for I would die among the perfume of
flowers." But how different is this
scene in one respect, for the great
Frenchman, though he feared not death,
believed it to be an eternal sleep. But
your gifted husband, although solarge
ly absorbed in the activities of life, and
although taking such a large share in
public business, had a strong and fruit
ful religious view in his nature, and be
lieved that death, instead of being our
final destiny, was but the entrance to a
higher and truer life.
About 9 o'clock Dr. Fox called me
suddenly to his bedside. The breath
ing had almost ceased, the quick respi
ration had entirely gone, the breath
came at long intervals, and the attend
ant clergyman began reading the sol
emn service of the church for the d3'ing.
The physician kept his hand upon the
heart to make the ebbing tide of life. I
looked at the doctor after each spasm,
and the reply was, "Not 3'et." At last
came a pause, long and endless, the phy
sician withdrew his hand, and Mr. Car
jjeuter was dead.
Flowers.
New York, among many 1 Jiur good
things, is famous for the cultivation of
flowers. You see them in shop win
dows everywhere, fresh aud rich in color,
and almost eveiy variet3', and this in
mid-winter. Flower growing and flower
showing, and flower festivals, are now
popular things, and they are so much
used at funerals, as well as weddings,
that it is not unusual to see In connec
tion with funeral advertisements, "No
flowers to be sent." Apart from the
business asppct, whicli is now extensive
and profitable, it is delightful to see
summer flowers so fresh and beautiful,
while the winter winds are blowing and
the snow is bying on the ground. It is
almost a wonder that the New York peo
ple can afford time to cultivate flowers,
but it is much to their credit, as they
are not onl3T the poetry of life, but the
poetry of their fine shop windows and of
their streets.

FEANK BUCKLASD.
riio Famous IVaturalUl'aEcccntrlcltJei.
From Macmlllan'i Magazine.
His zeal frequently led him to impru
dences which would" have told severely
on a less robust constitution, and which
perhaps had te effect of shortening his
own life. He had been known to wade
up to bis neck in water, and change his
clothes driving away from the rive on
a box of i fly. This was an etceptional
case; but it was a common thing for him
to sit for hours in wet boots. He rarely
wore a great coat; he never owned a
railway rug; he took a delight in cold,
and frequently compared himself to a
Polar bear, which languished in the
heat and revived in the frost. The pleas
ure which Mr. Buckland derived from
the cold accounted for many of his ec
centricities. Even in winter he wore the
smallest amount of clothing; in summer
he discarded all clothing.
Those were rare occasions on which
he wore a coat at home. His usual dress
was a pair of trousers and a flannel
shirt; he deferred putting on socks and
boots till he was starting for his office.
Even on inspections he generally ap
peared at breakfast in the same attire,
and on one occasion he left a country
house, in which he was staying, with no
other garments o . While hewas driv
ing in a dogcart to the station he put on
his boots, and as the train was drawing
up to the station, at which a deputation
of country gentlemen was awaiting him,
he said with a sigh that he must begin
to dress. Boots were in fact his special
aversion. He lost no occasion in kick
ing them off his feet.
On one occasion, traveling alone in a
railway carriage, he fell asleep with his
feet resting on the window-sill. As
usual, he kicked off his boots and they
fell outside the carriage on the line.
When he reached his destination the
boots could not, of course, be found,
and he had to go without them to his
hotel. The next morning a platelayer
examining the permanent way came
upon the boots, and reported to the
traffic manager that he had found a pair
of gentleman's boots, but that lie could
not find the gentleman. Some one con
nected with the railway recollected that
Mr. Buckland had been seen in the
neighborhood, and, knowing his eccen
tricities, inferred that the boots must be-"
long to him. They were accordingly
sent to the home office and were at once
claimed.
We have said he rarely wore a great
coat, and wnen he did so it was appar
ently more for the value of th- addition
al pockets it contained, than its warmth.
One of his good' stories turned .on this.
He had been in France, and wasTreturn
ing via Southhampton, with an over
coat stuffed with natur al history, speci
mens of allsorts, dead and alive Am' ng
them was a monkeys which was domi
ciled in a large inside breast-pocket.
As Buckland was taking his ticket, Jocko
turust up ins heart and attracted the at
tention of the booking clerk, who imme
diately (and very properly) said, "You
must take a ticket for that dog, if it is
going with you." "Dog?" said Buck
land; "its no dog;" it's a monke"
"It is a dog," replied the clerk. "It's
a monkey," retorted Buckland, and pro
ceeded to show the whole animal, but
without convincing the clerk, who in
sisted upon five shillings for the dog
ticket to London. Nettled at this,
Buckland plunged his hand into another
i ocket and produced a tortoise, and
laying it on thesillof the ticket-window,
said, "Perhaps youcallthata dog, too."
The clerk inspected the tortoise. "No,"
said he, "we make no charge for them
they're insects."
He could not, in the most serious con
versation, refrain from his joke; and
some persons will recollect how on one
occasion he was descanting, at a formal
meeting, on the advantages which
would ensue from the formation of a
fishery district. "You will be appointed
a conservator, and then 3-ou will impose
license duties, and themone3 probabW
300 will bo paid to you." "And
what shall I do then?" inquired his lis
tener. Wlty, then," replied Mr. Buck
land, "you had better bolt with it"
His love of a joke distinguished him
as a lecturer. The excuse of a milk
boy, on a fish being found in the milk
"Please, sir, mother forgot to stain
the water" was one of those which did
frequent duty. He left, on one occasion,
a parcel of stinking fish, which he had
carried about with him, and torgotten,
neatly done up in paper, in a fashionable
thoroughfare in Scotland, and stood at
the hotel window to watch the face of

were thrown into his bar. possibly to
keep company with his boots or his
clothes. The odor of his bag usuall3T
increased with the length of the inspec
tion, and on one occasion, when it was
exceptional- offensive, he said to the
boots of a very smart hotel, "I think
you had better put this bag into the cel
lar, as I should not be at all surprised if
it smelt b3 to-morrow morning."
His best things, he used to say him
self, were written on the box of an om
nibus or in a railway carriage. "The
ro3'al academy without a catalogue"
was written between London and Crewe,
and pested at the latter station. He
had originally acquired the art of writ
ing in a railway trainfrom thelalo bish
op of Oxford.
He thought he had facts at his dispos
al which would have enabled him to an
swer the great doctrines which Mr. Dar
win had unfolded. Evolution was emi
nentby distasteful to him; only two days
before his death, in revising the preface
of his latest work, he deliberate- ex
pressed his disbelief in it, and he used
to dispose of an' controversy on the
subject by sa3ing": "My father was dean
of Westminister; I was brought up in
the principles of church and state; and
I never will admit it I never will admit
it."
Perhaps no man ever lived with a
kinder heart, ltmay be doubted wheth
er he ever willingly said a hard word or
did a hard action. He used to say of
one gentleman, by whom he thought he
had been aggrieved, that he had forgiv
en him seventy times seven already; so
that he was not required to forgive him
any more. He could not resist a cry of
distress, particularly if it came from a
woman.
Women, he used to say, are such doe
like, timid things that he could not bear
to see them unhapp3. One night, walk
ing from his office, he found a poor ser
vant girl crying in the street. She had
been turned out of her place that morn
ing as unequal to her duties; she had no
mcaie3' and no friends nearer than Taun
ton, where her parents lived. Mr. Buck
land took her to an eating house, gave
her a dinner, drove her to Paddington,
paid for her ticket, and left her in charge
of a guard of the train. His nature was
so simple and generous that he did not
even then seem to re- lize that he had J
done an exceptionally kind act.
A volume might perhaps be filled with
an account of Mr. Buckland's eccen
tricities. When he was studying oysters
he would never allow anyone to speak;
the oysters he said, overheard the con
versation, and shut up their shells.
More inanimate objects than oysters
were endowed by him with sense. He
had almost persuaded himself that in
animate things could be spiteful; and he
used to say that he would write a book
on their spitefulness. If a railway lamp
did not burn properly, he would declare
was sulkv. and throw it nut. nf th
window to see if it could find a better
master. He punished his portmanteau
on one occasion by knocking it down,
and the portmanteau naturally reTenged
itself by breaking all the bottles of
specimens whioh it contained, and
emptying their contents on his master's
shirts.
To provide himself against possible
disasters, he used to carry with him an
armory of implements. On the herring
inquiry he went to Scotland with six
boxes of cigars, four dozen pencils, five
knives and three thermometers. On
his return, three weeks afterward, he
produced a solitary pencil, the remnant
of all his property. The knives were
lost, the cigars were smoked; one ther
mometer had lost its temper, and been
thrown out of a window; another had
been drowned in the Pentland Firth,
and a third had beaten out its own
brains against the bottom of a gunboat.
No human being could have told the
fate of the pencils.
Preaching to Children.
Preaching to children, says a religious
paper, is an art in itself. Many a man
is competent "to preach to adults who
cannot preach to children. He has been
taught by precept and practice one great
branch of his proper profession, but his
education has been neglected in the oth
er great branch. He is not qualified to
preach to the most impressive and most
hopeful of the community. The time is
coming when a theological seminary will
be organized as a sorry affair if it sends
out preachers who cannot preach effect
ively to children, and when a minister is
incompetent for such preaching will be
counted hardly more competent than a
blind man or a stutterer. But there is
no short cut to success in this work. It
will cost study and effort to learn how
to preach to the little folks.
A Good IIoiiMcwil'e.
The good housewife, when she Is giving her
house its spring renovating, thould bear In
mind that the dear inmates ol her house are
more precious than maty houses, and that
their systems need cleansing by purifying the
blood, regulating the stomach and bowels to
prevent and cure the diseases arising from
spring malaria aud miasma, and she must
know that there is nothing that will do It so
perfectly and surely as Hop Bitters, the rmrest
