For Wooers of their own Destruction.— 
A bashful youug man applied to his village 
paper for information on the important sub¬ 
ject, “How to win a woman's love."—The reply 
was, “Kiss the babies, caress the tomcat, and 
give strict attention to the old lady.” 
An old colored preacher in Atlanta, Ga., was 
lecturing a youth of ki6 fold about the 6in of 
dancing, when the latter protested that the 
Bible plainly said, “There's a time to dance.” 
“ Yes ; dar am a time to dance," said the dark 
divine; “ and it’s when a boy gets a wliippin’ 
for gwine to a ball.” 
^It was a colored preacher who said to his 
flock last Christinas Day: “We have a collec¬ 
tion to make this morning, and for de glory of 
Heaben, whichever of you stole Mr. Jones’ tur- 
keys, don’tput anything on the plate.” One who 
was there says, “ Every blessed niggah in de 
church came down with the rocks.” 
One of the highest compliments a man can 
receive is to hear a friend say to him, “The 
verj' sight of your pleasant face is enough to 
drive away the blues."— Chryetal' But the sat¬ 
isfaction with which one hears such speeches 
is marred by the anticipation of the remark 
that is almost certain to ensue—“ By the way 
you haven’t got two dollars that you,” &c., &c.

Quicken the Circulation. 
Don’t let the blood stagnate In your veins. You 
can prevent Its doing so by increasing Its volume 
and purity, by stimulating the digestive organs, 
and encouraging assimilation, with that matchless 
vitalizing agent, ilostetter’s St-omach Bitters. Peo¬ 
ple not afflicted with any organic or Inorganic dis¬ 
ease, grow wan and haggard simply because their 
blood Is thin, watery, deficient In nourishing prop¬ 
erties and so meager in quantity that the extrem¬ 
ities are very Imperfectly supplied with It, and the 
superficial circulation extremely feeble. lienee 
the bloodless appearance of the countenance. But 
when the Bitters arc used fo enrich arid quicken 
the blood, the rosy hue of health returns to the 
cheek, the frame acquires substance as well as 
vigor, the appetite Improves, and no digestive 
qualms interfere either with Its gratification or the 
subsequent tranqualllty of the stomach.
