Help in Time. 
Help to be effective should be timely. When 
the kidneys grow Inactive, as they are apt to do, 
It Is wise to lend them and the bladder early and 
judicious medical aid In performing their very 
Important functions. The requisite energy is In¬ 
fused into their operations, without danger ol ex¬ 
citing them, and with greal benefit to the general 
health, by using Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters as a 
diuretic. Powerful stimulants are rather calcu¬ 
lated to Injure than beneilt the kidneys and blad¬ 
der, but this reliable promoter ol energy imparts 
to thorn the requisite amount ot Impetus and no 
more. It should bo remembered that kidney and 
bladder complaints In an advanced stage of de¬ 
velopment, very frequently baffle medical skill 
and prove fatal. To guard against disastrous 
consequences, repel their advance by the means 
suggested.

. . Few men are so little given to fault find¬ 
ing as tlioee who despise human nature too 
much ever to quarrel vvilli it- . . “I can¬ 
not say,” remarks a writer ;n Truth, “that I 
abhor Lord Beaeonsfield’s political principles 
—for I never perceived a trace of his having 
any.” - . The roundest of pegs in the squar- 
esi of holes- . - Alcohol cuts down youth 
in its vigor, manhood in its strength and age 
in ils weakness, ll produces weakness, not 
strength ; sickness, not health ; death not life. 
It makes wives widows, children oiphans, 
fathers fiends, and all paupers. It feeds 
rheumatism, nurses gout, welcomes epidemics, 
and embraces consumption. It covers the land 
with misery, idleness, aud crime. It engen¬ 
ders controversies, fosters quarrels, and cher¬ 
ishes riots- It crowds penitentiaries and fur¬ 
nishes victims for the scaffold, it is the blood 
of t he gambler, the element of the burglar, the 
prop of the highwayman, aud the support of 
the midnight incendiary. It couutouances 
the liar, respects the thiol, esteems blasphemy. 
It violates obligations, reverences fraud, 
honors infamy. It defames bonovolcnee, hates 
love, scorns virtue aud innocence. It incites 
the father to butcher hiB helpless offspring; 
and the child to grind the parental axe. It 
burns up men, consumes women, detests life 
curses God, and uespiscs heaven. It suborns 
witnesses, uuxecs perlidy, denies the jury-box, 
and stains the judicial ermine, il bribes 
voters, disqualifies votes, corrupts elections, 
pollutes our institutions, and endangers the 
government. It degenerates the citizen, de¬ 
bases the legislator, dishonors the statesman, 
aud disarms the patriot. It bring6 shame, 
not honor; terror, not safely ; despair, not 
hope; misery, not happiness; and with the 
malevolence of a fiend, calmly surveys its 
frightful desolation; and, stained with havoc 
it poisons felicity, kills peace, rums morals, 
wipes out national honor, then curses the 
world and laughs at its rnin. It docs that 
and more—it murders the soil. It is the sum 
of all villaiuies, the father ol crimes, the mother 
cf all abominations, the devil’s best friend, aud 
God’s worst enemy. ’ Gol. lngersoll. . .Just
