A Bad Omen.

We should be heedful of warnings. Nature gives us such. Inactivity of the kidneys and bladder is an omen of danger. The diseases which attack those organs are among tbe most fatal and obstinate, and are usually preceded by the above symptom of growing weakness. The best invlgorant under such circumstances is Hostetter’s Btomach Bitters, a safe as well as active remedy. The proper degree of energy is imparted to the operations of these important secreting and discharging glands, without overstimulation, by the Bitters. In that respect, as in others, it surpasses and is preferable to diuretics which overact. The article is also a remedy for and preventive of chills and fever and bilions remittent, and cures rheumatic ailments, dyspepsia, debility and nervousness. Don’t delay if you experience the well-known symptoms of any of these aliments, bnt use the Bitters at once. We take the spade of scientific research, throw up the dirt, and reveal the secrets Time has buried there ages ago, and to the heavens we elevate the celestial tubes of astronomical investigation, and bring down knowledge older than the earth we tread; bnt, with all onr reaching upward and digging downward, there is one matter that will always remain a sealed mystery, and that is, what the deuce becomes of the last inch of all the usedup lead pencils. About twenty-five years since Mason A .Hamlin announced important improvements in reed instruments, then known as melodeons. So considerable were the changes and Improvements that they claimed for their new instrument another and better name—organ or cabinet organ—by which it has become universally known, and obtained wonderful usefulness and success; about 80,000 organa being now made In this country yearly, while American organs are largely exported to every civilized country. The same company now offer to the public an improved Upright Piano, which they have been experimenting upon and testing for a number of years, and confidently claim presents improvements of the greatest practical value. A distinguishing characteristic is that they entirely dispense with wood in holding the strings, which are secured by metal fastenings directly to the iron plate, so securing perfect vibration and more pure musical tones, with much greater durability. The changing conditions of wood, so objectionable iu such a matter, are entirely avoided. The improvement certainly seems to be one of great importance. —Boston Traveller.
