What is wanted just uow in Europe is some 
great composer who can produce a few over¬ 
tures for peace that all the crowned heads will 
listen to. 
“ Do you ever have malaria here ?” said a 
lady to an illiterate hotel-keeper. “ Yes,” said 
he, “ we’ll have it to-day, for I’ve got the best 
French cook in the city. 
“Julia, my love, what do you think of my 
moustache ?’’ Julia (looking earnestly at him 
for a moment),—“Why Alfred, where is it? 
Why didn’t you bring it with you, darling ?’’ 
New Reading.—A young man of twenty 
recently took to wife a Pennsylvania widow of 
fifty, the sole proprietress of a couple of pay¬ 
ing petroleum wells. Of him it may be truly 
said that “ he loved not wisely, but two wells.” 
Teacheii (to class in geography)—What does 
geography describe ? The earth, on which 
some live, some exist, and others starve. How 
is the earth divided ? By earthquakes. Of 
•what does the earth cousist ? Land and water, 
and brickbats. Class may sit down. 
The Norristown Herald prints a poem head¬ 
ed “Lover’s Leap.” Of course they do. Nor 
are they to be blamed, either, when the old 
man suddenly opens the door at 11,30 p. m. and 
glares in on them like a modern allegory of 
wrath, with a lighted candle In one hand and a 
heavy cane in the other. 
“ ’Peaks to me you've got a putty slim fire, 
Miranda,” said a spindling youth, the other 
night, as he sat in front of the fire-place by the 
side of a buxom young lady, who had no 
earthly use for him. “ Yes,” she said, as she 
wickedly looked at the floor behind him, “ it’s 
about all j r ou and the fire can do between you 
to get up a respectable shadow'."

A Source of Much Bodily Evil, 
If the habit ol body becomes irregular, much evil 
is inflicted on the system. The stomach becomes 
dyspeptic, bilious symptoms develop themselves, 
the circulation Is contaminated, and the nerves 
share In the general disorder, it is of the utmost 
Importance that the bowels should be thoroughly 
and speedily regulated when they grow derelict. 
The corrective agent best adapted to this purpose 
is Uostelter’s Slomach Bitters, a wholesome, non- 
grlplug vegetable laxative, worth all the rasping 
cathartics Invented since the time of Paracelsus. 
People who have been in the habit of using blue 
pill, calomel and other drugs and cheap nostrums 
for constipation, should abandon Bueh hurtful and 
useless medicines, aud substitute for them this 
pleasant and gentle aperient, which not only pro¬ 
duces the purgative effect naturally, but also 
strengthens w'hlie it regulates the bowels, stomach 
and liver. It moreover cures and prevents inter¬ 
mittent and rejnlttent fevers, gout, rheumatism, 
debility and urinary troubles.
