Sudden dcailis from h rvous collate among our : iness, profess ional and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark. The major.fy of sui cides, commuted without ap parent ro.isoa, or under so-eaiied “depression of spirits,'* are really prompt 'd bv nervous prostration, w h is a fruitful source of insanity and crime with all . ir . l ief and horror. These < are startling. They th:\ .. he very life of the nr.bori. x.uy assail the springs of its t c-wer and proe jiurity. Ti: y wreck manhood's strength and woman’s useful Hess and beauty. Every one should know the causes. W hat are they ? The answer is easy and terribly plain: Our vicious personal habits; our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the in tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, jxxsition and influence; the fears and struggles of ]>ov erty; the use of narcotics and stimulants;, our fashion of turning day into night and night "into day; and, briefly, our desperate willingness to pay any price for an hours pleasure or success. So we burn life’s candle at both ends and till the lunatic asylums and the graveyards. The disease from which we suffer and die is, in plain Eng lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it is seated in the Nerves and in the organs of Digestion, Assim ilation and Nutrition. Healthy digestion being impeded or des troyed, the whple body, nerves included, is literally starved; eveu when there is no emaci ation to tell the sad story. Nervous prostration sends out its warnings:—headache in the morning; a persistent dull heaviness or aching at the base of i i. brain; wakefulness; lass of arm. titeand disgust with foal; loss of mental energy and interest In ordinary duties and business; restlessness and anx iety without any assignable reason; eructations; bad breath; foul mucous on the teeth; e ndonal giddiness,; palpitation of the heart; sal lowness < the sk;n; coated tongre at i gradual failure of Strength a;, ambition. The remv -iy is a total aban donment of the habits and cus toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of Sh< ' er Extract 0j.il* >t$ (Scigvl's Syrup) to cure t!:e mischief already done. This great remedy, prepared by the Shaker Community of Mt. Leb anon, N. V., is especially adapt ed to eradicate Nervous Dys pepsia. To do this it acts directly and gently but power fully upon tue disordered stom ach, liver and kidneys, restor ing their tone and vigor, pro moting the secretion of bile, ex pelling waste matters from the system,and purifying the blood.

SOLDIERS’ CEMETERY. -f- ; * // THE UNION DEAD THAT WERE BURIED AT ANDERSONVILLE, GA. An Explanation Concerning; tho Death Register— IJeantiful Appearance or tho Cemetery—Graves of tli* Unidentified. Tho Rows of Tombstone*. Let us turn to tbo cemetery. This is situ ated about half a mile northeast of the station at Andersonvillo, and comprises about twenty four acres of beautifully undulating grounds, with many natural features not to bo fouud in the spot from which wo have just turned. Tbo appearance of tbo cemetery has l-ecn en tirely changed since war days. Then it was but a rude field. Tho dead wero buried in trenches seven feet wide, four feet deep and from fifty to 150 yards long. No coffins were used, but tho twish’d, emaciated forms of the dead prisoners were laid side by side, ai.d at tho head of each was driven a little stake, on which was painted a number corresponding to tho numU r of tho body on tho death regis ter. Tho cemetery was a direful necessity, | anil no extra pains were taken with it. Not i before Juno, 1S05, was any step taken toward j inclosing tho ground and marking tho graves | so that they could bo identified in the future. I A word of explanation respecting tho death iv lister K perhaps necessary that tho reader may see why only flSl out of 12.TJ3 lack j identification. When n prisoner died l;is j omra lcj reported to the registrar of the .It • 1. a prisoner appointed for thut purpo-c, ; u U: \.n k» t at tho south gate. Tin r.iri . >niod lb*' name, state, regiment. i:.y, c.c.k and date of death of tho dm 1 ..nil n -i him a number. Thus tael j • was nun-hcrcd, and as they were c:. i r*-l <>ut in the dead wagon for burial cap \va» taken to inter die bodies in order and j mark each with a numbered stake. All tlii wa. <;• no bv j. isouers detailed for that work. ! and lit nee tho cure that wrta exercised. IDENTIFYING THE GRAVES. Thus, when James B. Moore, assistant quartermaster United States army, was ap point 1 to care temporarily for tho dead at identifying most of tho graves. With a force of several hundred mea he proceeded tc lay out walks, fence in tho grounds and mark the graves with painted head boards. About 100.000 feet of pine boards wero thus used. Of course, sotno stakes had been re moved and some directions on tho registry were iniix.-rfeet; but tho car© that was taker is a credit to those who had the matter in charge. Tl:e work then begun so timely has sinct b(H>n untiringly kept up. Tho cemetery now presents a beautiful apjiearance. Tho grounds are nicely laid out and neatly kept. Tin whole is inclosed by a brick wall about live and a half feet high, tho plainness of tho wall being relieved by neatly constructed twenty foot panels, which are supported by squan pilasters, tbo pilasters being carried abovo the top course of the wall. Tho lino iron gate; are always open to visitors, who flock to tin place by hundreds. From the center of a diamond shaped plat ris* s a flag staff on which the stars and strijte. aro to bo seen flying from sunrise to sunset except in inclement weather. Near by art stationed a couple of cannon, mounted or atone bases. From this point radiate foui finely kept avenues, about twenty feet wide jurallel rows of large water oaks -ast on then: an abundant shade; brick gutters on eithei side keep them well drained. Tho four sec tions of the cemetery nro also well shaded anc lieautifully adorned with shrubs and foliagt plants. HOWS OK T0M3ST0ICSS. The graves, of course, aro as they wort fir*t formed. The painted head boards that Mr. Moore erected have been taken away and ‘ burned, and substantial white marble slain have lieen erected in their places. These stones aro of two kinds, but those of each kind are uniform. Hero nnfl there, indeed, ure stouts tl.at have been furnished by the family of the tlead, but tho majority aro ol the uniform make, furnished by the govern ment For the graves of identified soldiers the ' t :n!"tones aro flat, polished slabs, three feet long, one-half being .under ground, four inches thick and twelve inches wida On tilt face side is a raised shield, and on this is recorded the number, name, rank and state of him who sleeps below. This is neat, and of course somewhat monotonous, but it is the best a generous molded public could do. For thi* unknown soldiers tho stones aro four inches -quare an l project only flvo inches a! Kjve ground. Tho rows of graves aro about teuor twelve feet apart. Everytliiug is sc n- atly eared for, the spot is so replete with memories, tho symmetrical rows of tomb stones are so symbolic or a similar cause and an equal fate, the pleasant grounds aro sc shady mu! quiet that one feels tho scene deeply impressive. Hero and there, too, are found cast tablets—there ore some twenty-five of thorn altogether—bearing suitable inscrip tions. Many of these aro extremely beauti ful, bringing to tho visitor’s mind the dignity, heroism and suffering of the fallen soldiers.— Cor. Chicago Times. (dithering Spruce Cum. Spruce gum is obtained in the forests yl Canada, Maine, New Hampshire, and Ver mont. The gum gatherers go many miles into tho forest, erect rude cabius, and each one remains until ho has gathered IOC pounds. He carries it home, where the women and children clean it from all its im purities. such as bark, twigs, and other for eign substances, and sort it into the different grades, all of which are known to tho young est child in the business. It is a big day’s work for a woman to clean and sort ten pounds. While the household is cleaning his collection the gum gatherer returns to the woals and works until ho has another batch, and getting it is not easy or rapid work. The gatherers go through the woods looking at the virgin spruces. When tho gum that I forms on the outside of tho trees is onco re- [ moved the tree will never again yield enough ! to make it worth tho while of the gatherer to i visit it. So he must hunt out the trees that , have escaped tho notico of his class during all j the years tho woods have been searched by them. The gum gatherer carries a stout polo which is in sections like a jointed fishing rod. At one end of the pole a chisel is fitted snugly to the wood. Beneath the chisel is a cup boldiug half a pint When tho gatherer dis covers a mass of gum on a tree, no matter how high it may be, ho runs his chisel up against it and cuts it off when it falls into the cup. It is then placed in an oiled bag slung across tho back of the gatherer. So slow is the accumulation by the collector, ordinarily, that ho considers himself fortunate if ho gathers 100 pounds a month.—New York Sun. A Great Combination. A large brass chicken in the sbapo of an inkstand is the latest novelty. The boarding house keepers are experimenting with them to ascertain if the shadow of one of ti!R?i- will not make us rich chicken soup as a ph >t. 'graph from the original hen does. This would enable them to combine business and ornament in great shape.—Dansville Breeze.

A physician was called; lie said teething was the eause; he prescribed some cooling- med icine, hut the sores spread to my cars and head. Another Nl. I>. was called, lie professed to know all about the case, called it “King’s Kvil,” and prescribed gunpowder, brimstone and lard mixed into a salve, hut the disease continued. They could not do anything with it. An other prescribed borax water and Ilnur; another, linsood poultices. Xonooftheiu did me any good at all, hut made me worse. The disease continued unabated; it spread to mv arms and legs, till 1 was laid up entirety, and from continual sit ting on the floor oti a pillow my limbs contraetod so that I lost all control of them, and was utterly helpless. My mother would have to lift mo <>ut and into bed. I could get around the house on my hands and feet, hut 1 could not get my clothes on at all, ami had to wear a sort of dressing gow n. My hair had all matted down or fallen off, and mv • head, face and ears wen; one scab, and ! iiad to have a towel on my bead all the time in tlie summer to keep the flies off. My parents consulted a prominent phy sician and surgeon here in Chicago i the other physicians before mentioned were of Dund'as and Hamilton, Canada), lie said lie eon id do nothing for me, tliht the chances were that I would grow out of it, or tiiat it would strike inwardly and kill me in time. He wanted to cut the sin ews of my legs so that 1 could w alk,but I would not let him, for if 1 did get better I would have no control of them. The disease continued in this manner until 1 w as seventeen years old, and one day in January, 1*79. in the Chicago Tri bune, I read an account of your medi cines. They described my case so ex actly that I thought, as a last resort, to give them a trial.
