Mr. Weatlierby. "However, if people
choose to listen to private remarks, it

Then he lay back in his seat, and
while h'sfair companion looked from
the window revenged himself for the
mother's indignant look by secretly
making faces at the baby, which was
staring at him over the seat and making
Ineffectual efforts to crab hold of his
eold-headcd cano. The sweet infant at
first stared in round-eyed wondor at the
unaccustomed facial expressions: but as

tus Wothorby observed, as he lookediia
easily around. "You will be more coni
lortablo on tho other sulo, and able to
keep the window open it being loo-

Iho young lady hesitated a moment,
but then gathered up her shawl and
sachol, and crossed over to the onno-
.sito side of tho cari where were a couplo
of scats left vacant by passengers who
had alighted at tho last station. It was
immediately in the rear of a plainly
dressed old gentleman who was fast
asleep and slightly snoring, with h
feet conspicuously elevated. Ho had re
moved his now booU, and enca-ed h
largo foet in embroidered cloth slipper
which left exposed an ample spioj of

THE PAEENT OF ISB0MNIA.
The parent of insomnia or wakefulness Is
in nine cases out of ten a dyspeptic stomach.
Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion
interferes with It, The brain and stomach
sympathize. One of the prominent symptoms
oi a weua state or me gastric organs is a dis
turbance of the great nerve entrepot, the brain.
Invigorate the stomach, and you restore equi
librium to the great centre. A most reliable
medicine tor the purpose is Uostctter s 8tomueh
Hitters, which is fur preferable to mineral
sudaUves and powerful nurcoticn, which, though
they may fo a time exert a stinuriflu influence
uiHin the brain, soon cease to act, and invaria
bly injure the tone of the stomach. The ilitturs.
on the contrary, restore activity to the opera
tions of that all important organ, and their
beneficent influence is relied, d in Bound B'ecD
and a tranquil stuto of the nervous systeii. A
wholesome impetus is likewise given to the
action of the liver and bowels by ila use.
