—Miildleloion Transcript. 
“ Will the actiou lie ?” inquired the anxious 
client. “ Yes,” replied the facetious attorney, 
“ the action will lie if the witnesses will.” 
A tall man having rallied a friend on the 
shortness of his legs, the friend replied : “ My 
legs reach the ground—what more can youre 
do?” 
The puzzle blocks originated in Philadelphia, 
where the blocks of houses are so much alike 
that a man is puzzled to know when be gets 
home. —JVeic Orleans Picayune. 
When President Lincoln was taken down 
with measles, he wrote to Colfax, that he 
might let the army of office-seekers approach, 
as he had now something that he could give 
them. 
“I know a victim to tobacco," said a lec¬ 
turer, **wbo hasn’t tasted food for thirty 
years." “How do you know he hasn’t asked 
an auditor. “ Because tobacco killed him in 
1850," was the reply. 
“Mamma," said Henry Thomas, a bright 
little fellow over in Algiers ; “ Mamma, have 
my toes got eyes ?" “ No, my darling; why 
do you ask such a foolish question ?" “ Be¬ 
cause my foot’s asleep.” 
A school teacher who had just been telling 
the 6lory of David ended with, “ Aud all this 
happened over three thousand years ago.” A 
little elierub, its blue eyes opening wide with 
wonder, said, after a moment’s thought, “Oh 
dear, maim, what a memory you have got!” 
A Nerve-Quieting Tonic. 
Restless nerves are usually the unfortunate pos¬ 
session of persons whose digestion is impaired, 
whose blood la thin and watery, whose system 
lack the vitality essential to health. To restore 
nerve quietude, the circulat ion must be fertilized 
through the medium or Unproved digestion and 
assimilation. Experience has long shown that 
Hosietter’s Stomach Bliters Is fully adequate to 
the task, and that, In numberless cases where 
opiates, sedatives and mere nervines failed to 
produce the desired effect, this benign ionic 
was sufficient for The purpose. Of course there 
are cases where a narcotic may be necessary, but 
such remedies never touch the origin of the 
trouble. Restore digestion, a regular habit of 
body and active bilious secretion with the Bitters, 
and nervous symptoms will disappear.
