Son»<* of 1l»<* Mviitnl \iiKiii«h Tliut Im luumm! br Volyunmy. No Mormon woman will talk from ; her heart to a stranger, notably and i essentially when that person is a gen tile, (in M< rmondom, every one who is not a Mormon is a gentile, ) for site knows by sad experience that this would but increase her sufferings. Os all sacrifices that have ever been exact ed of the single, loving heart of true wife and mother in the name of reli gion, none can equal those of polygamy, which these women were taught would j be practiced through all eternity, as it '• was “the celestial order of heaven,” an i eternal law Under its baneful influence a wife lived in the same house with her hus band, surrounded by their children, a lonely, disci m-olate woman. The confi lence and respect that should have lliited their h arts, made one their in terests, is first defiled and then destroy 'd. She early learns to be silent and observing. After their evening meal, if she see- her husband make as careful and elaborate a toilet as their circum stances permit, she dares not ask him where he is going. But that fear that ever abides in the heart of every Mor mon wife tats, cankerlike, at her vi tality She may try to drive these thoughts I away, she may say to herself, ‘‘No; whatever other men may’ do, however they may deceive their wives, my hus band will be honest and true. He will nut deceive me. " Up almost to the hour that she is expected to go to the ‘‘en dowment house” and place the hand of the second wife in that of her hus band she gives her hungry soul this soothing balm. But ultimately she must awaken to the fact that no man can practice polygamy without becom ing a hypocrite. Many of these women believe, or try to believe, that polyg amy is a revelation from God and con sequently must be obeyed. But if any gentile woman will try to think how she would feel if her hus band were to teli her that he is soon to bring into their home a second wife to usurp her place in the family circle, tdi:,i<- her husband’s affection, come be tween her and the man who had been her all in asl for so many years, that v-f iii.'iwill have arrived at a full, per feet, exact v. inprehension of what a Mormon woman suffers.—-Arena. WEATHER FROGS. Small Living IlarometerM Which Are Imported I’rom Germany. Attached to a glass sided box seen in a bird store window was n placard mark ed “Weather Brogs. " Within the box. perched on two long wooden rods, plac ed lengthwise < f it and nearer the top than the bottom, like the higher perches in a birdcage, were a number of the weather frogs themselves. Some just then w< re brown, and one was green. They were little tree frogs of a kind found through Europe, those in the window having been imported from Germany When full grown, these tiny tree frogs may be little more than an inch in length They take the color of what ever object they may be resting on — brown for wood, green if on a leaf; placed in a blue glass jar they will be come bine. They may be heard but not I seen, so cloiely in color do they resem | lili- whatever they may have perched up- I on. They are called weather frogs be ! cause at the approach of rainy or changeable weather tiny jump into the water, at the approach of clear weather they coni ' out again. In captivity the weather frog is kept in a glass jar or globe, which is cover ed at the top with a win -cieen. Wa ter is put in the bottom of the jar, and at a convenient height is placed some thin.; tor the little frog to jump up on.

Loss of Vitality Known to be the Parent of this Oread Disease—The Method of Cure that Has Proved Most Successful. I ’-i>>,i the Ileiiublican, Scranton, Penna. The most common of all human ailment. [ i is deranged digestion: the most aggravating i ’ disease, inherited by man, dyspepsia. In-! ‘ sidious in its nature, varied in its forms it i tortures its victims, baffles the skill of phy- 11 sieians and the power of medicine. - i The primary cause of dyspepsia is Inck of vitality; r |he absence of nerve force ; the loss of the life-sustaining elements of the blood. I It is a truism that no organ can properly ' perform its function when the source of ■ nutriment fails; when it is weakened on one ! ; ■ hand and over-taxed on the other. When ' < the stomach is robbed of the nourishment . demanded by nature, assimilation cea.es un- i natural gases are generated, the entire sys-; i tem responds to the discord. A practical illustration of the symptoms I and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the case of Joseph T. Vandyke, 440 Hickory St., ' Scranton, Pa. In telling hi. story Mr. Vandvke says: “Five years ago, I was aftflcted with a ; trouble of the stomach, which was very aggravating. I had no appetite, could not enjoy myself at any time, and especially 11 was the trouble severe when I awoke in the , morning. 1 did not know what the ailment was, but it became steadily worse and 1 wa. \ in constant misery. j *‘.l called in my fttmily physician, and he diagnosed the case as catarrh of the stomach. | He prescribed for me and I had his prescrip- i tlon filled.

After I had been suffering several months, and had secured liny, pf the many remedies which I had taken, a friend of mine, by the name of Thomas Campbel), also a resilient of this citv, urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills’ for Pale People. I told him it would be a useless waste of money to buy them, : I was .nvinced- ti it nothing could do me any good. “I was finally persuaded to buy a box and began to use the pills according to directions. Before I had taken the second box 1 began to feel relieved, and after taking a few more boxes I considered myself re stored to health. The pills gave me new life, strength, ambition and happiness.” An unfailing specific is found in Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma tism. nervous headache, the after efleet oi la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, that tired feeling result ing from nervous prostration, all diseases re sulting from vitiated humors m the blood, such ns scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental w..rrv overwork or excesses of whatever nature. These pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm’s trade-mark and wrapper at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and are never sold in bulk. They may be had of all druggist.. LAND POOR. A JScheme to Give Every Man a Farm, by a Person Who is Land Poor. Mn. Editor : Some years ago I took an idea that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say,in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best tor cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There are a number ol tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost me over $3,000 to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying altogether, about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50 acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 t > another, according to his ability to pay for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to be drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a hat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a fair chance to get a home at a low price, anti no one has a chance of losing their m mey, or failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at far less than cost. The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is adapted to maiket gardening, and for northern people who know how to work, it offers a line opportunity for a colony of energetic citizens. It is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best of pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and nine, and some cedar; in fact, it. is the best place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed itor of the Call will vouch for what I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at ’ Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say, I have also a farm of 50 acres near Barnesville for sale, on good terms. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay mvnt in four annual payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the price of the land very low. The titles to the land have been in the posses sion of one or two parties for years, and have never been questioned and are as as gold. 8. B. BURR, Sr, Barnesville, Ga. ITGEORGIA.
