But another good recom mendation for it is, that it is better than Pills, never gripes, never weak ens, but works in such an easy and natural way, just like nature itself, that relief comes quick and sure, and one feelsj new all over.

One of the most serious defects in our mode of government is the absence of a uniform system of laws. The laws of the United States are, of course, su prei.ie'Wevery state, but the subjects with whi'-h they deal are strictly limit ed by the federal Constitution, and everything which lies outside is within the jurisdiction of the several states. Acts permitted by local laws or toler ated by local sentiment may be of such a character ar seriously to complicate fio relations ot the United States with other governments, and yet may be wholly beyond the control of the general government. The attack upon Italians in-New Orleans in LS'.U, and many anti-Chinese riots in "Western states are instances in point. Each of the forty-four states lias its own code of laws, to which at every session of its legislature large additions are made. There are wide differences and conflicts among the laws. Busi ness practices which are permissible in some states are forbidden in others. Offences which are visited with heavy penalties in one state are not punished at all in another state adjoining ; and sometimes a house which happens to bo crossed by a state line is in request, because certain acts which would be illegal at one end of it are legal at the other. and divorce Xorjolk Pilot.

Whei. the South emerged from the war it was, perhaps, the most desolate and irnjHveridied mm n ion in the New World. There is no r n for doubt altout it, in fact. To-day it is rich and prosperous, and this result is very large ly the handiwork of the Southern jt'o p'e. Credit for our achievement was withheld for a time, but it is accorded now by tne pre-s and j-eople of the Last. The Xew York World said in a recent issue : 'The close of the war left the South with all of its old business conditions wiped out. Without property, capital, credit or large business experience, the people ot the South had only their nat ural faculties and undeveloped resour ces to depend on in the hard struggle for a restoration of their prosperity. But these have sufficed. They have shown in peace a piuck and persistency as great as in war, and have developed a business capacity not exceeded by that of the traditional Yankee. They have held their own in finance and banking, in railroad building and man agement, in developing the resources of their mineral wealth., in establishing manufactures, in improved agriculture 7. a- a rv.! 1 1 hi'" V - A . c'ergyin.-in, n ws l .ver. r-Tst' ere. aed je.ae ;i -en-.ti .n m hi- !.; hold, vhich coii-i-t of grown-up daughter-.

A man's "best" is a wise averaging of his powers. It is true that what is worth doing at all is worth doing well. But it is also true that we must learn to let well enough alone. It is not merely specific and individual duties that are worth doing well, but it is the whole of life itself.
