MY LITTLE She isn’t very pretty (So say my lady friends); She’s neither wise nor witty With verbal odds and ends. No fleeting freaks of fashion Across her fancy run; She’s never in a passion— Except a tender one. Her voice is low and cooing; She listens more than speaks; While others talk of doing, The duty near she seeks. It may be but to burnish The sideboard’s scanty plate, Or but with bread to furnish The beggar at the gate. So I, who see what graces She sheds on lowly life. To fashion’s fairest faces Prefer my little wife. And though at her with pity The city dames may smile, Who deem her hardly pretty And sadly out of style, To me she seems a creature So musically sweet, I would not change one feature— One curve from crown to feet. And if I could be never Her lover and her mats, I think I’d be forever The beggar at the gate.

PETTIBONE’S COURTSHIP.

I was first smitten with Jane at a concert. She was a tidy, black-eyed young woman in pink ribbons. 1 thought I had never beheld such a vision of purely mundane loveliness. Perhaps I never had—l was young then. Attending her was a tall, lank youth with a freckled skin and red hair, against whom I conceived at once an invincible prejudice. I did not know the young man. Worse still, I did not know Jane, and worst of all, he did. I naturally hated him profoundly for this advantage. It will be unnecessary to relate the violent means I took to scrape an acquaintance, how I surreptitiously followed the pink ribbons home and stealthily read the name “ Porter ” on the door-plate; how I haunted the street in my Sunday-clothes till I made myself an object of suspicion to the police; how I discovered that her father was a dentist, and that she had a formidable step-mother; how I found out the church she attended, and hired a seat behind her ; how I sent her valentines, left anonymous bouquets on the door-step, and all, alas! to ao purpose. It is needless to describe my bitter but futile chagrin all this, time at seeing the red-headed youth frequent the house oir the most familiar terms; nothing, certainly, but my native firmness of principle sr/. ed him from assassination. Driven at length to desperate straits, I resorted to a desperate expedient. I went to consult her father professionally. I entered his office with guilty misgivings. I trembled lest he should divine my real purpose. He was a thin little man with a weak voice and a hacking cough. None the less I regarded him with profound reverence. Nay, I invested him with an air ot distinction; was not he the father of Jane ? Indeed, I esteemed it an undeserved honor to be allowed to remain in his presence, so long had I yearned to know somebody who belonged to her, my heart’s idol. I may say, briefly, in passing, that I presently recovered from that yearning. But to return to the point, let me premise that I had tine teeth. I had never felt a twinge of toothache in my life, but nevertheless, that cold, hard, remorseless little—but no; I will not stigmatize him now. Poor wretch, his path was not of roses, and he has long since gone the way of all the living. Suffice it to say he examined my teeth; he punched and prodded with various tools ; he filed to find a nerve; he failed to make me wince. I think he was very much disappointed; nevertheless he preserved an ominous silence. I consulted his face; he wore an inscrutable but determined expression. I asked him feebly if he found anything requiring attention. He uttered a vague and inarticulate exclamation and proceeded to set forth a tray of diabolical-looking instruments; wrenches, gouges, vises, hooks, files, pinchers and scrapers, together with much cotton wool and cold water, gs though he • expected a hemorrhage. My heart began to beat like a trip-hammer and my stomach felt as though it were sinking into a bottomless pit. I affected to laugh, while a clammy perspiration bedewed my forehead. “Ha!ha !” I cried hoarsely. “Why, doctor, you look as though you—you were preparing for a campaign.” The doctor with a grim taciturnity went on with his preparations, during which every shred of courage oozed from my craven heart. “ Do—do yon find that there is much to be done?” I asked at length, huskily. “We shall see better, presently,” he returned coldly, as he examined the point of a fiendish-looking instrument nnd waited for me to resume a recumbent position. I lay back submissively, and he began to file away on a magnificent molar. J maintained my self-control by constantly repeating : “It is Jane’s father, and, after all, what signifies one tooth ?” During a pause in his proceedings, while he stopped to rest his arms, I took advantage of the opportunity to make a slight advance. “Dr. Porter,” I began, “you are—ahem—haven’t I seen you at the Bev. Dr. Longtext’s church ? ” “ Quite likely.” “ Very fine preacher, Mr. Longtext? ”

“I don’t agree with you.” “Ah, indeed, that is—l meant to say it is pleasant to go there on account of the music.” “ The choir is abominable,” This was not encouraging, I subsequently learned that, having for many J ears been dragged to this church by is strong-minded wife, Dr. Porter held everything connected with it in detestation. After this rebuff I lay back again in the operating-chair, seeing no other alternative. This time he began on the upper jaw. “What, another? Excuse me,” I cried, struggling into a sitting posture. “Pray excuse me, but—er—do you think—is there anything—what can be the matter with that tooth ? ” The implacable little doctor looked coldly out of the window and made no reply. ‘•I think,” 1 continued, weakly, “I think that perhaps I won’t have anything more done at this time.” “As you please,” returned the doctor, with an air of displeasure. “ Why, of course,” I ad led nervously, “I shall do whatever you say, but I—er —do you think there is any pressing hurry?” “Ahem; you must take the responsibility of waiting, sir 1 ” replied the doctor with an air that need not be described. “Goon!” I said with a groan, as I lay back on the rack. Lying thus supinely, while he with main strength honeycombed another splendid grinder, I bethought me of a new tack, and so, taking advantage of the next breathing spell, I began: “ Doctor—er—have you—er—a daugh —that is—l have noticed a young lady in your pew, and I—l thought perhaps she might be a relative of yours ? ” . “ Yes! ” replied my tormentor, with a rising inflection, as he got out more cotton wool. ‘ ‘ I was thinking— #r —of getting up a —er —a little picnic; it is so desirable to promote sociability among the young people of the church—l should like to invite her if—that is ” I hesitated and blushed. The doctor sharpened his instrument and coughed dryly. “ My daughter knows too many young people, already. I—that is—her mother goes not approve of bq much gadding.”

“Of course We should need a matron, and I should be glad—er—highly honored if Mrs. Porter would join us,’ 1 1 faltered with shameless hypocrisy. “Thankyou; I will inform them of the invitation,” said the doctor, coldly, as he prepared to go to work. I submitted myself to two or three hours more of rasping and gouging, cheered at the thought of my masterly stratagem. I went home that night with a sense of nervous exhaustion, and my head feeling like a barrel; but, firm in my purpose, the next day I repaired early to the doctor’s office, supported against prospective torture by the inspiring vision of success. The doctor went silently and grimly on with his work, and finished with a second and a third tooth. But yet not a word of the invitation. Just as I was upon the point of sounding him upon this subject he suddenly startled me to my heart’s core by saying, coolly: “Oh, here’s a tooth that must come out!” “ Eh, what!” I cried, springing from the chair. “No, no. Stop ! stop !” “ Oh, don’t be scared; it won’t kill you !” said the merciless little man, regarding me with a contemptuous, smile. “ I—l won’t have it out. You want to hack me to pieces I You want to make a ruin of me!” I cried, indignantly. -The doctor sneered, and said, quietly, but with an air of exasperating significance, as he turned away: “ You needn't get so excited, young man ! You needn’t have it done unless you choose. ” “ What do you mean ?” I asked, nervously. “What’s the matter? Is the tooth decayed ?” “ No; but it soon will be I” “ And then?” “It will ulcerate, and you will probably lose a piece of your jawbone. ” Scared beyond expression at this alternative, I hesitated. The doctor saw his advantage and pursued it. “It will only be for a moment,” he said, picking up his forceps, and concealing them behind him as he advanced. “No, no,” I cried, with my knees knocking together; “that is—yes—or rather if it must be done; but—give me chloroform I might fainting fits —do you think ’twill have much of a root ?”

Then, in the midst of my terror, recollecting what all this sacrifice was for, I cried feebly as the wretch fastened his horrid forceps on my beautiful tooth: “About the invitation—what —what I” “Ah,” said the "doctor, gathering all his little strength for the coming wrench, “ Mrs. Porter is much obliged to yon; she accepts the invitation with pleasure.” I seized the arms of my chair. Nerved by the sweet thought of success, I sustained the ordeal like a hero. “But,” continued the doctor, coolly, as I rose from the chair with a bound, and regarded him with an air of triumph and relief, “my daughter regrets that she will be unable to do so on account of another engagement 1 ” Defeated, humiliated, incensed, I rushed from the office of the perfidious little dentist. I cursed the stepmother; I vowed I wouldn’t have her. I found means to give up the picnic. I even tried to give up Jane, but all in vain. And so for three long, dreary months I racked my brain to devise some new scheme to further my purpose. Atlength Fate came to my aid. One Sunday afternoon I came out upon the church steps to find Jane there, looking heavenly in a new spring bonnet, and rain falling heavily. She gazed about in dismay as the people, one by one, departed, and the sexton began shutting the doors. It was then that, summoning up all my resolution, I advanced, with my heart in my mouth, and said :

“ Miss Porter, I believe? ” “ Yes,” she replied, regarding me suspiciously. “If you will allow me—offer you—share of—umbrella,” I gasped out. “ You are very kind—l don’t know— I expected my brother, but—” Meanwhile I had been opening my umbrella, and now stepped alongside and offered my arm. With a coy and guarded air she took it. As she placed her small, mitted hand in the crook of my elbow, I felt a titillation that tingled all through me to the very ends of my toes. When we arrived at her house it rained so very hard that Jane had no alternative but to ask me in. I needed no second bidding. On entermg the parlor, we found Mrs. Porter, a large and imposing woman with manly air, enthroned in an easy chair. “This,” said Jane, presenting me, “is Mr. Pettibone; he has been kind enough to bring me home.” “Oh,” exclaimed Mrs. Porter, giving me a searching look, and adding in a condescending tone, “he is very good; pray, sir-r, be seated !” She pronounced the short ceremonial title with such a ponderous roll of the r that it seemed a rather awful appellation, and 1 sat down with a quailed and guilty feeling. “I wasn’t aware,” she went on, “that you were acquainted with my daughter. ” “ I—l wasn’t, but I—it rained so very hard—”

“I couldn’t stay there all night, and nobody came for me. lam sure it was extremely kind of Mr. Pettibone, and I am very much obliged to him whether he was acquainted with me or not,” interposed Jane, sharply, drawing her mother’s fire. “I remarked,” returned the latter lady, in a powerful baritone voice, “I remarked, Miss Porter, that the gentleman was Very good; but,” she added, with great emphasis and significance, “ the question as to the propriety of receiving such marked kindness from strangers. ” “If I am to be left to the mercy of strangers, I shall accept their kindness, and gratefully, too, ” retorted Jane, shutting her lips very tight. “ I was about to remark, Miss Porter, if you had given me the opportunity, that your father and brother are both absent, and you can hardly expect that I—” “Oh, no; no, indeed; I never fora moment indulged in any such fond delusion,” interrupted Jane in an ironical tone. This little episode between Jane lyid her step-mamma, seemingly so trivial, proved of the utmost importance to me. Driven to undertake my defense by the criticism of her imposing relative, Jane was led perversely to take an interest in me which I might otherwise have vainly striven to awaken, and I was rewarded on leaving with a cordial invitation to call.

I was not slow in availing myself of the privilege, but the first time I went, and while I was sitting in the parlor, with my heart all in a flutter, waiting Jane to come down, the door opened, and who should walk in but the redheaded youth. Here was a situation. He coolly stared at me. I fiercely glared at him. He took no notice of this, but threw himself familiarly into a chair and crossed his legs, as though he had come for the evening. This was more than I could stand. “Sir,” I said, inflamed with wrath and jealousy, “ there is one too many of us here. I came on invitation; if you are going to stay, I will leave. ” “Eh! Who the devil are you?” he exclaimed, with impudent sang froid. “I—I! No matter who I am, sir. We two cannot stay in this house together, that’s all! ’ I cried, starting from my seat in a transport. At this minute'Jane came in. She shook hands cordially, smiled, and then, tuniing toward the red .headed youth, said, “ This is mv brother, Mr. Pettibone !” Mrs. Porter looked upon me from the first with a disapproval which rapidly ripened to aversion. As for me, I may

as well be candid and say at once that I was afraid of her. And with a good cause; she was a woman born to rule. She held the little doctor and his auburn son completely under her thumb. Jane was the only member of the family who dared withstand her. It was, perhaps, the consciousness of my shrinking dread of her step-mother that made Jane mere than usually gracious, and rendered my progress swift to a degree that proved to my conservative temperament somewhat bewildering. As my ardor cooled before the prospect of a daily encounter with this family Gorgon, Jane became, in turn, more tender and encouraging. Indeed, in after years, when Mrs. Pettibone and I—at rare, very rare, intervals —have indulged in little mutual, mutual —let us say explanations—l have sometimes timidly hinted in self-defense that she did the lion’s share of the wooing ; for which I have been instantly and perhaps deservedly silenced by the Unpalatable avowal that she “had only married me to spite her step-mother.” What good ground there was for these mutual accusations maybe best gathered from a little conversation that took place between Jane and me one evening on the door-step, a conversation which, I may say, sealed my fate. It was a bright moonlight evening. We were sitting in the shadow of the porch. I was absently holding Jane’s hand. “Mr. Pettibone,” she said, suddenly, “how long have we known each other?” “About three months, I believe.” “ It seems ever so long, doesn’t it?” “Well, ye-es; it does.” “It’s because we’ve seen so much of each other.” “ I dare say.” “You’ve been here a great deal, haven’t you ?” “Have I?”

I dropped Jane’s hand with a discomfited feeling. She let it rest on my arm, and edged a little nearer. “ Why, yes; I never had a gentleman call so often—that is, not lately.” “I—l’m sorry,” I faltered, “Is’pose it must look rather particular.” “Eh! Why so?” I inquired, with a vague feeling of alarm. “Why, it might—that is, folks might say that you—you almost must mean something ! ” Jane’s hand was again lying in mine, though I didn’t put it there. “ Mean—mean something? ” I echoed. “Yes.” Jane’s head was now leaning on my shoulder. I don’t know how it happened. I only know I had not stirred. “But I— l assure you I don’t,” I stammered, very much embarrassed. “ What’s that ? ” cried Jane, sharply, sitting bolt upright and withdrawing her hand violently. “That is, I should say—of course, I do.” There was now a long silence, during which Jane’s head gradually sank to its former position. “You say, you—you do, Mr. Pettibone ? ” “ Do —I beg pardon—do what—that is, Miss Porter ? 3 ’ ‘ ‘ Do —mean —something, ” whispered Jane, encouragingly, from my shoulder. Suddenly, as by an electric thrill, I found my tongue. The vision of the step-mother vanished. It all came out. I talked away wildly and incoherently. I have often and often since wondered at my own rashness, but the end of it all was I found myself holding Jane very tightly about the waist, while her head reposed confidingly upon my bosom.

A. Swindler Disgraced.

There is a man in New York whose dinner could not have digested very well or afforded him much solid comfort. He dined at a hotel and took his meal in good style. After laying in a liberal supply of what he fancied and running up a substantial account, his check was handed to him. Instead of paying the amount marked on it he furtively put it in his pocket and attempted to pass out the door in an unconcerned manner, without bestowing the customary attention. on the official who sits at the receipt of custom. Had the greedy and wellfed person been mindful of the fact that two detectives are kept on constant duty, lurking for just such patrons as himself, his course would have been different. As it was, his passage to the street became a very different affair from what he had intended it to be. Instead of being allowed quietly to chuckle over having swindled the hotel out of the price of *his dinner, he was brought to a halt by one of the detectives and made to give an account of himself. His stammering apologies did him no good, and only served to stimulate his captor to make a conspicuous example of him. Calling to his aid another employe of the house, the detective caused the wretch to “walk Spanish” to the doorway, at which point he kicked him into the street, amid the applause of the bystanders, who by this time were informed as to the why and wherefore of the transaction, In a demoralized manner the detected and disgraced “diner out” landed on the pavement and slunk away with a view of reaching a place where the gaze of his fellow men would not be so conspicuously directed at him. It would have been quite as legal to have had this fellow arrested and convicted of swindling the hotel, but the moral effect of thus boosting him into the street was far more impressive on the bystanders than a year’s imprisonment in jail would have been.— Philadelphia Times.

Life in the Oil Regions.

That the oil region is a country where fortunes are quickly made is well-known. The man who is begging his bread today may be wearing a diamond in his shirt front to-morrow, and the day laborer of last week is a moneyed man of the next month. On our streets we can point to men who couldn’t draw a check for ten cents six months ago. Now they can draw their check for SIO,OOO and the bank wouldn’t accept it. Yonder is a man who walked from Oil City as a tramp a year ago. To-day he is porter in a hotel. Here comes a young man who borrowed ten cents of us last week to get a glass of milk. Now he wants to borrow ten cents more. He says he wants to buy a meal. He dines on liquid meals. Go to Bradford and you see the same evidences of prosperity. A man who came into this field when the excitement began with less thaa SIOO, is now worth as many thousands. Another, who was put in the lockup, and borrowed money to pay his fine, was arrested again last week and sent to jail. He could not borrow anything this time. Here’s another man who went there with his last cent in his pocket. Last month he drew his check for $20,000. He, too, is in jail. He signed another man’s name to the check Such are the ups and downs of oil life. Here to-day, in jail to-morrow.— Oil City Derrick.

Marrying for Money in Italy.

Young Lovatti, up to a few years ago, was one of the large class of idle youths to be found in all Italian towns, decently connected and nominally an artist It was his ill-luck to meet with a Belgian lady, who is described as neither young nor beautiful, but who had, according to her own account, a fortune of 30,000,000 francs left her by M. Jacob, Minister of Police under the Empire, the copy of whose will she had deposited with a notary at Naples. This the notary actually had, but it seems he had expressed doubts of its genuineness. How much of the story Lovatti believed can not be told; but he married Mlle Vanduelle, taking care, however, only to go through the religious ceremony, which is not legally binding; and the happy pair proceeded to spend their thirty millions. Every one seems to have taken the story of the will for true, and to have given unlimited credit, though at the same time charging such prices for goods as were consistent with such a fortune; thus a fan worth 500 francs at the outside was put down at 1,500 francs. From Borne the pair went to Naples, where they chose the richest jewels, the costilest dresses, and then they proceeded to London to draw the millions. *ln London Lovatti discovered the fraud at the time he was in the treaty for the purchase of the Villa Mirafiori, at Borne (the property of the late King’s wife), and also for a title formerly held by his family ; and then they started for Brussels, where they proceeded to sell the jewelry, etc. By this time suspicion awakened in Borne and Naples, and some of the creditors started at once for Brussels, where they succeeded in recovering a part of their money. Lovatti gave himself up to the police, and he and his wife were brought back to Naples, where, after some months’ imprisonment, they were released on bail. Thereupon Mad. Lovatti disappeared, leaving a letter saying that she was sorry to have got her husband “into trouble,” and Lovatii had been sentenced to six years’ imprisonment.— St. James' Gazette.

POVERTY AND DISTRESS.

That poverty which produces the greatest distress is not of the purse but of the blood. Deprived of its richness it becomes scant and watery, a condition termed anemia in medical writings. Given this condition, and scrofulous swellings and sores, general and nervous debility, loss of flesh and appetite, weak lungs, throat disease, spitting of blood and consumption, are among the common results. If you are a sufferer from thin, poor blood, employ Dr. Piercs’s “Golden Medical Discovery," which enriches the blood and cures these grave affections. Is more nutrative than cod liver oil, and is harmless in any condition of the system, yet powerful to cure. By druggists.

Mental Progression.

In our day knowledge is power as it never was before. We live in a steam age, the age of rapid transit, of ceaseless movement and activity, in an age essentially practical. Where is the bookworm of the past? the dreamy thinker, the slow philosopher? only to be dimly traced in some aged survivor of a quieter and slower epoch, only to be met with in remote towns, still outside the radius ol modern hurry, towns which grow fewer every year, and which in another decade will be aS populous, as noisy, as unrestful as the cities of to-day. Imagine quiet Austin Caxton in the hub-bub of New York life ; conceive of any man to-dav, devoting his life to one abstruse work, feeling that even if he lived to complete it, he would have accomplished wonders. One can scarcely even conceive of a lexicographer to-day—it seems as if it were incredible that any one could toil through years study, devote a lifetime to a task, no matter how important. We feel that dictionaries, encyclopaedias, glossaries and such monuments of industry are out <?f place, unless they are manufactured by the thousand, steamed into being, or evolved out of consciousness without concentrated effort. Never in the world’s history was so much attempted as to-day, but is it as well accomplished as in the stage-coach days of slow living ? Are the rpyal roads to teaming any real gain? All these primers, ana handy volumes and condensed history, science, politics —dp they make better men and women of us ? Will the next generation be wiser, nobler, stronger? The history of the world will soon go on a sixpence, and before a great while we anticipate a preparation of infants’ food, which shall introduce a knowledge of science and the fine arts into the system by absorption, and the time given to education will be saved entirely.— New York Mail.

How to Know Your Friend.

A miserly old Earl had fallen heir to an estate worth some thousands of pounds. Being always reputed poor, his relations looked askance at him. Unaware of his altered circumstances, he tried the following ruse to know who were his frieiids: At the beginning of a hard winter old skinflint applied to his relations individually for a little assistance to tide him over the winter. Only one, a niece, a poor teacher, responded by sending €5 of her hard-earned pittance, witli a promise of more when her salary became due. Shortly thereafter the old man sickened and died, and to the astonishment and chagrin of his host of relations he bequeathed to the poor teacher, whose heart was in the right place, his whole estate, amounting in all to £20.000. As a tonic and nervine for debilitated women nothing surpasses Dr. Pierce’s “ Favorite Prescription.” By druggists.

Too Much University.

Little Johnny Fizzle top was sent to the Sunday school on Austin avenue last Sunday for the first time. The. teacher asked pleasantly : ‘ ‘ Who made you little boy ?” “Why, don’t you know that yet?” asked Johnny, opening his eyes in amazement at the teacher’s ignorance. “O, yes, I know, but I wanted to see if you knew it.” “ Well, if you know it already, then I needn’t tell you,” and he positively refused to impart any more information.—Texas Siftings.

Advice 3,500 Years Old.

One of the oldest books in existence is a collection of proverbs by Ptahbotop, an Egyptian, who lived somewhere about the time of Abraham. Among his injunctions is the following, which we commend to the writers on woman’s emancipation, domestic economy, and other topics, who may think that the subjects which they discuss are fresh and suggested by the increased intelligence of modern civilization : “If thou be wise, furnish thy house well; woo thy wife and do not quarrel with her; nourish her; deck her out, for fine dress is her greatest delight. Purpose to make her glad as long as thou livest. She is a blessing which her possessor should treat as becomes his own standing. "Be not unkind to her. ” This counsel is none the less useful at the present day, because 3,500 years have elapsed since it was given. The coming holidays will be more generally observed than any for many years, and we would remind our readers that a bottle of Dr. Bali’s Cough Syrup will prove a moat acceptable holiday present.

Is It Possible

Skeleton of an Indian Chief in Armor.

Some time ago, some boys while playing in the rear of the town hall at East Machias, discovered what appeared to be the burial place of an Indian. The remains have recently been exhumed and are, perhaps, the most interesting ever discovered in Maine. They are evidently those of a chief. A copper band nearly two inches wide encircled the head. To the right ear, which was dried and well preserved, were attached ornaments of copper two and one-half inches long by one wide. A part of the scalp was also preserved, showing the long black hair peculiar to the Indians. Upon the breast rested an iron knife completely oxidized. A piece of the skin with the imprint of the knife was also found. The face was covered with a mat made of the leaves of the cattail "rush. Birch bark was used to envelop the head, while the whole body was wrapped in a moose skin of which the hair and a few fragments remained upon the breast Outside of this skin was a copper breast-plate sixteen or seventeen inches long. There was also found a triangular hatchet, like those used by the early French settlers. Captain John Smith mentions such hatchets in the hands of the savages. Dr. J. P. Sheahan, of Dennysville, has obtained possession of these relics, which resembles others obtained by him from Frenchman’s Lake, New Brunswick. It is stated that Dr. Shehau is preparing a minute description of the skeleton and its surroundings for the Maine Historical Society. Portland {Me.) Advertiser.

The Southern Pig.

One ought to see what the groundwork of all this pork business is. A wild hog down South is a wonderful creation to a Northerner, who is accustomed to see hogs so fat that they can hardly walk. Well, I don’t know as they can walk here, but they can run. See one broadside to, and you would think it weighed 250 pounds, and let it turn about head on, and it looks like a strip of sheet iron stood upon the edge. Nearly all the live ones I saw were black, and about as thin as a board, but when it came to annihilating space, I could see how they were made so thin. The air offers no more resistance to them than a tub of lard does to a cheese knife. I saw one run along by the side of the railroad track, keeping up with the train for about a quarter of a mile, when he suddenly thought he would show us how he could run when he was so inclined, and, gathering himself up, he darted along by the car, overtook the tender, gained a lap on the engine, and crossed the track ahead of it and ran into the woods. If he had kept that gait until we had got into Washington he would have been half way through Alaska. Probably, next to the carrier-pigeon, the Southern wild hog is the fastest bird in the world.

The Des Moines (Iowa) ZVi-Weekly Tribune says: “A Harrisburg (Pa.) journal mentions that Mr. D. Bensinger, No. 4 Market Square, that city, was cured by St. Jacobs Oil of a violent attack of rheumatism. “Gelatino-diaspon” is the namegiven to a new explosive, produced by M. Anders. It is composed of wood-cellulose and nitro-glycerine, is unaffected by cold, is not sensible to blows or shocks, and explodes only by a sudden increase of temperature to about 320 degrees Fahrenheit. It burns quietly when ignited in the open air, and is not affected by water. It is useless to groan with rheumatism when a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil will cure it, as everybody knows.— Columbus (Ohio) Daily Times. Produce a bright surface by filing a piece of metal. Apply a drop of nitric acid and allow it to remain a few minutes ; wash with water; the spot will then look a pale ashy gray pn wrought iron, a brownish black on steel, deep black on cast iron. This is a sure test. The carbon .present in various proportion produces the difference in color. Use Kidney-Wort and rejoice in health. One package makes six quarts of medicine. It is calculated that the amount of force daily expended by an adult weighing 150 pounds in the performance of tiro ordinary work of the body would raise 3,400 tons one foot, if applied mechanically.

RESCUED FHOiII DEATH. William J.Coughlin,of Somerville, Maes., rays: In the fall of 1876 I was taken with bleeding of the lungs, followed by a severe cough. I lost my appetite and flesh, and was confined to my bed. In 1877 I was admitted to the hospital. The doctors said I had a hole in my lung as big as a half dollar. At one time a report went around that I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of Db. Wilijam Hall’s Balsam bob the Lungs. I got a bottle, when, to my surprise, I commenced to feel better, and to-day I feel better than for three years past. I write this hoping every one afflicted with diseased lungs will take Db. William Hall’s Balsam, and be convinced that CONSUMPTION can BE CUBED. I can positively say it has done more good than all the otUer medicines I have taken since my sickness.
