wFOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE. The SlUy (iooit. There's a qaeer old story which yon shall hear: It happened, once 011 a time, my dear, That a goose went swimming on a pond, A pleasure of which all geese are fond. She sailed about, and to and fro, The waves bent under her breast of snow, And her red feet paddled about below, But she wasn't a happy goose?oh no ! It troubled her more than she could tell, That in the town where she chanced to dwell, The saying of " stupid as a goose," Was one that was very much in use. For sneers and snubbing are hard to bear, Be he man or beast, I do not care, Or pinnoned fowl of the earth or air, > We re all of the same opinion there. oKa fVlA moffor C\yAT A fox came walking along the shore: With a pleasant smile he bowed his head, "Good evening, Mrs. Goose!" he said. " Good evening, Mr. Fox !" ouoth she, Looking across at him tremblingly, And, fearing he had not had his tea. Pn3hed a trifle farther out to sea. 8he had little harm to fear from him, For with all his tricks, he could not swim; And. indeed, his voice was sweet and kind: 'Dear Mrs. Goose, you've a troubled mind. I only wish I could help you through,? There's nothing I would not gladly do For such a beautiful bird as you." Which sounded nice, and was really true. "Well, then Mr. Fox," the gooso replied, " It hurts my feelings, and wounds cov pride, That in these days my sisters and I. Who saved old Rome by our warning cry, Should be called the silly geese. Ah, me! If I could learn something fine, you aee, Like writing, or reading the A, B, C, What a happy, happy goose I'd be !" "Now, would you, indeed !" Renard replied, As the floating*fowl he slyly eyed; " I hardly know what 'tis best to say, Let's think about it a moment, pray, T V--1 4. l-nntrj 5M A UJBJ UOip )UU y VI, U1 > UCai, nuv xiuv ? c . So he struck a meditative poso. And thoughtfully laid his small, rel toes, Up by the side of his pointed nose. "Ah, yes !" he cried, " I have it at last: Your troubles, dear Mrs. Goose, are past: *There is a school-master, wise and good, I know where he lives in yonder wood, To-morrow evening, you shall see, In von broad meadow his school will be, Herll bring you a book with the A, B, C, And he'll give his little lesson free." But now just listen, and you shall hear About that fox; he went off, my dear, And he bought a coat, and a beaver hat, And a pair of specs, and a black cravat. Next evening he came dressed up to charm, With the little "Header " under his arm, Where the goose stood waiting without alarm. For, indeed, she hadn't a thought of harm. Had she looked at all, you would have thonght 8he need not have been so quickly caught, For the long red bushy fox's tail Swept over the meadow like a trail. But twas rather dark, fo> night was near. And another thing, I greatly fear. JMlo 1(311 IUU aiwuun iu aw vjuur VJCU;, She was simply a goose of one idea. The school-master opens wide his book, The gooBe makes a long, h ug neck, to look; He opens his mouth as if to cough, When, enippety-snap! her head tlies off. Now, cackle loudly her sisters fond, Who are watching"proudly from the pond, While off to the town that lies beyond, The whole of the frightened flock*abscond. That day, the geese made a solemn vow. Which their faithful children keep till now: That, never shall goose or gosling look At any school-master or his book. So, if over you should chance to hear Them talking of sehooK don't think it queer If they say some hard things, or appear To show a certain degree of fear; t is always so with geese, my dear. ?E. A. Sniuller, St. Xicholas. The Marrowfat PI*. The Guinea-hen was extremely aristo- j cratic, and talked a great deal about the first families. "I will not allow my j ohildren to associate with the common, j vulgar herd," sho said. "Their minds; and manners shall be formed by inter- : AATirao TcrifVi tVia 'ATP " TliftrnfArn I when she gave a party in honor of the j oldest sou, Heliogabalus, she did not j invite all the fowls in the barn, but only j the Gray Goose, the old Gobbler and the three White Turkey-hens, the White Bantams, and the Black Spanish family. She also invited tbe Marrowfat Pig. The Marrowfat Pig was a newcomer in the barn. He was quite small. His body was white and silky as a white j mouse, and his nose, feet, ears, and tail i were of a bright pink color. "I consider him a prize," the farmer I had said, when he brought him intocthe yard. "There is not another like him i in the coun'ry. He is pure Marrowfat." : And the Gninea-hen, overhearing these remarks, began cultivating the stranger's acquaintance immediately. He slept nearly all the time he was l not eating; and when the Guinea-hen approached him, and spoke of the mAAfka* a* oelr/iil offIn'a liaolfK V?o M COIUU1 (UtVi UiJ UVUiVUy UV | rarely did more than to open one of his little pink eyes, or twitch his long ears. Sometimes he made an asthmatic noise, that sounded somewhat like " Wuff! ; Waff!" But the Guinea-lien said to her i friends and family: " What an air of high-bred reserve there is about the Marrowfat Pig. What distinguished ? manners he has. Really he is a great addition to our society." And all the Hens cackled, "Ah, yes, to be sure for such is the way of the world. The Guinea-heD's guests arrived early; and when all were assembled she and Heliogabulus led the way to the cornhouse, the door of which the farmer's j son, who was in love, had abeent-miudedly left open. Mounting on the largest heap of corn, the Guinea-hen said, politely: "My dear friends, eat as fast as you c?n, and as long as you can, and as much as you can." The Gray Goose, the Turkeyy, and the different families of Hens replied: " Thank you," and bowed gracefully; but the Marrowfat Pig did not even go "Wuff! Wuff I" but fell to eating directly. He rooted right and left, poked the Gray Goose in the ribs, almost upset the venerable Gobbler, and took not exactly the lion's, but the pig's share of the corn. "What an original character the Marrowfat Pig is!" said the Guinea-hen. " You can see bis genius in the way he aots. Blood will tell, and there is nothing so desirable as high descent." When the Marrowfat Pig had eaten all he could possibly hold, he lay down in the biggest corn-heap and fell asleep. Little Biddy Bantam ventured to pick up a few kernels near his head, and, inadvertently scratching, sent the corn against his nose. He opened one of his pink eyes and went " Wuff! Wuff!" as \ if it was a great effort and really too much for him. " How I should like to understand Marrowfat," said the Guinoa-hen. " I'm sure he is saying something very entertaining to Miss Biddy." The Gray Goose waddled around in the corn, shoveling up a dessert-spoonful at every step; and, as she was short-sighted, as many literary and learned persons arc, she accidentally gave the Marrowfat Pig's pink tail a sharp tweak with her bill. Squealing finorilv. he started ud. and causht hold " O ' ?~ # ~ k~ w o of poor little Biaay Bantam's yellow legs and nearly bit them off. " Yoa miserable, nastv Marrowfat Fig r screamed the Gray Goose, very much excited. "'Twas I who pinched your good-for-nothing tail; but I did not damage it a mite. Yon ought to be ashamed of yourself!" But the Marrowfat Pig, instead of blnBhing, only lowered his head, and, looking savagely at her, went " WuffI Wuff 1" in such a threatening manner she retreatel quickly behind a ciderbarrel. The whole Bantam family left the corn house immediately, "with their suf fering little Biddy ; and the rest of the guests, except the Marrowfat Pig, who lay down for another nap, soon followed them. As the old Gobbler took his leave, he said to the Guinea-hen, in a low tone : " Pardon me, my dear friend; but don't you think we had better cut the acquaintance of the Marrowfat Pig ? His conduct this afternoon has been shocking?quite like a common hog, in fact." "I cannot agree with yon there," Raid the Guinea-hen, "He evidently has a delicate organization. Miss Biddy annoyed him by pecking aronnd his head, and the outrage the Gray Goose committed on his tail was entirely inexcusable. The Bantams I shall drop forever ; id if it were not for the culture and blno blood of the Gray Goose I should c-?t h -r aiso. No one* but a vulgar persou would behave badly to a gentlemai of such consider, ation as the Marrowfat Pig." The Gobbler shook hauds with the Guinea-hen, and they parted friendly ; but .there was a coldness in their manner visible to a close observer, and / there is no telling how far the aline at ion between the several families ii the barn might have gone had no the Marrowfat Pig died that night from eating too much corn at the party After his death all united in doinj him honor. Even the Bantams cam< j to believe Biddy's lameness a distinct j ion ; and, following the lead of th i Guinea hen, they all declared that tb j greatest genius and the most well-brei i person they had ever known was th 1 Marrowfat Pig. Moll Pitcher. Tho vicinity of High Rock was loni ; memorable as the residence of Moi ' Pitcher, the fortune-teller of Lynn Twentv-tive years ago there were verj ; few firesides in New England that he j fame had not reached, perhaps die turbed ; and her successful predictions alike astounding to the vulgar or per plexing to the enlightened, were th i theme of many a midnight watch o forecastle confab. She was not thi : withered, decrepit, and toothless crom of Spenser, or Otway's " wrinkled hag, with ago grown double, Picking dry sticks and mumbling to herself, but a woman who lived in the full gazi ! ?-S 1 nnopm tVlO Tiv.rl/l tuVllfh nnlv flf J UliU ^uoni^/ ui ?. ? j ? i cepted her claim to fore-knowledg< i upon the unequivocal testimony of i ; thousand witnesses. Do you eontem : that her reputation was due solely tc the shrewdness, penetration, and read] wit with which she was undoubtedly and in a remnrkable degree gifted How, then, will you explain revelationi of the future made ten and twent] years before the events predicted tool place ? When she was in the meridian of hei fame and life the ordinary applicant sav a woman of medium stature, having ai unusually large head, a pale thin fac< shaded l>y masses of dark brown hair who was as thoroughly self-possessed ai he was ill at ease, and whose compre hensive glauce measured his menta capacity before he could utter a syl lable. People of better discernment who recollect her, say that her face hat none of the wilduess of the traditiona witch, but was clouded with a habitua! sadness, as of a mind overburdenec with being the depository of so man} confidences, perhaps crimes. She hat a .full, capacious forehead, eyes tha( read the secret thoughts of a suitor, a nose "iuclined to be long," and thir lips?a physiognomy wholly unlike th( popular ideal, but rather that of t modern Egeria ; in short, the witch o the nineteenth century. During the fifty years that she pur sued her trade of fortune-telling, ir what was then a lonely and little fre quented quarter of the town, not only was she consulted by the poor and ig uorant, but by the nch and intelligen class. Love affairs, legacies, tlie dis covery of crime, lotteries, commercia ventures, and the more common con tingencies of fortune formed, we maj well imagine, the staple of her predic tions ; but her most valued clients cam< J from the opulent sea-ports within sigh i of High Rock. The common sailor anc the master, the cabin-boy and th< owner, equally resorted to her humbh abode to know the luck of a voyage. X is asserted that many a vessel has beer deserted when on the eve of sailing, ir consequence of Moll's unlucky vatici nation. She was also much besoughl by treasure-seekers?a rather numerous class in her day, whose united digging along the coast of New England would, if usefully directed, have reclaimed foi cultivation no inconsiderable area oi virgin soil. For such applicants the witch had a short and sharp reply. "Fools," she would say, "if I knew where money was buried, do you think ] would part with the secret ?" Moll Pitcher died in 1813, at the ag< of seventy. She was originally o] Marblehead, and is said to have inherit ed the gift of prophecy from her grandfather, John Dimond, who must, howarray Viaira in ft h'mfl when it WBf neither -wise nor safe to exercise powers then universally attributed to the Evi.1 One. Her father sailed out of Marble head as master of a small vessel. Marj Dimond married Robert Pitcher, a shoemaker, in 1750. Mr. Lewis, the historian of Lynn, asserts that she was connected with some of the best familief in Essex, that, except her fortune-tell ing pretension, there was nothing disreputable in her life, and that her de scendants were living and respectei when he wrote. Her life seems rathei to mark the line which divides old ant new superstition than any decay of thai inextinguishable craving to pry intc futurity which has distinguished th< human family in all ages. One of oui native poets regretfully exclaims : " Even she, our own weird heroine, Sole Pythoness of ancient Lynn, Sleeps calmly where the living laid her; And tne wide realm of sorcery, Left by its latest misL-ess free. Hath found no gray and skilled invader." ?Harper's Magazine. Kinsr and Miller. Arnold, a miller of Pomerania, had i lawsuit With a nobleman aboat a strean of water, which Arnold alleged had beer unjustly diverted from his mill. Thif lawsuit he lost, and petitioned Freder ick the Great, alleging that justice had not been done him. The king ordered the case to be remitted to the second court, where the chancellor and three judges sat. He in the meantime ordered inquiries to be made upon the spot, aud was informed that Arnold was the injured party. Bnt the miller was no more successful in his appeal than iu the original trial. Upon this being intimated to the king, he sent for the chancellor aad judges, and, without allowing them to vindicate themselves, called them rascals and perverters of che law. He took a pen, and with his left hand (for he had the gout in his right] wrote a sentenco that condemned the nouleman to restore thft water to it? former course; to pay all the costs of the two lawsuits; and lastly, to paj such a sum to the miller as should make him reparation for the injury he and hio family had sustained. When he had finished, he turned witu lury to tlif chaucellor, whom he dismissed lrom hit seivice, and ordered the three judges tc prison, kicking them all with violent indignation out of the room. II turned out subsequently that Arnolc was a man of the worst character, anc had entirely imposed upou the king The nobleman was qxiite innocent of th< charge of taming the water-course,sinc< his lands were farther down the strean than Arnold's mill. Thus Frederick, ir 1 his violent and summary interference, perpetrated the grossest injustice, even where his intentions were good. Fred erick was both blamed and ridiculed on account of this transaction, though he never would consent to reverse the pro cpeainfjs, exhibiting bis usual obstinacy even in the commission of injustice His nephew, however, upon his acces eion to the throne, ordered strict justic* to he dono between the parties, and thuf this extraordinary aff.iir was brought tc a close. A Snake's Tongue. The peculiarity of form and positioi in the tongue of a snake lead to the us of the word "exsertiou " in speaking o that organ. Being, when at rest, en closed within a sheath, the tongue can not move within the mouth, like th ! tongues of animals, but only who thrnst forth or exserted. Of quadruped odc might affirm (though the expressio would be rather strained), that the "exert" their tongues when puttin forth their power, say to remove foo from tho teeth, or to lick the palate both actions being possiDie wiium closed mouth. Bnt a snake cannot cl either of these things. With the reptil to " exert " is also to exsert the tongu< for its motion can be but in one dire< tion?viz., forward and beyond tb mouth. A slight chink in the upper li gives egress to this long, thin, an highly sensitive organ, while the mont can remain closed. Thus exserted, tb tongue appears to be constantly er gaged, like the antennae of insects, in e: i ploring and investigating. No othe j word conveys the idea of the tongue1 | motion'and'direction like exsertion- -th | opposite to insertion ; while exertio (the opposite to inertion) may be ap : plied to activity, which does not necef | sarily imply exsertion or thrusting fortl \ The two words have sometimes bee I confounded. - FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD, a t Parm and Garden Notes. , We think it pays to spread the coal . ashes under the trees in the orchard. ? Lime is a good manure for clayey soils 0 and plaster for sandy ones, because the * former retains and the latter attracts e moisture. f Have a place to put all the bones that accumulate about the farm. They are worth money, and can readily be dissolved by wood ashes and chamber lye or by muriatic acid.

Mr. Meehan said he never saw blight on trees that were white1 washed. He said Mr. William Saunders, * of Washington, believes it to be an ab' solute remedy. Mr. Hoopes stated that ' during his trip west he had witnessed D xt . i I me ueueocmi entct ui ?mtonnDu j! trees. Mr. Engle thought there was no excuse for not trying this remedy. j If the cow mopes, don't fancy she has . " the hollow horn," and go to boring 3 holes in her horns for the purpose of I injecting vinegar, pepper, or other stuff. 1 The horns of a young oow are soft, and } warm with rapidly circulating blood, but 3 as she grows older and the horn has t more surface, it becomes cooler, because , comparatively less blood circulates there. t In the process of growth a portion of the . center of the bone becomes absorbed, I leaving a cavity. Into this the cold air i from the nostrils passes, helping to cool , the horn. The older the animal, the | larger will be the hollow in the bone and 1 the colder will be the horn. f How (irapen Feed. s A carious, interesting and suggestive experience is thus recorded in the [ Country : We bad planted a row of L Delaware vines, one of which was placed about three feet from a hole in which a ; quantity of bones had been buried. The ' vines all made a healthy growth, but the ' one referred to was specially vigorous. " This, however, we attributed to its gen" eral vigor, and not to any special in5 fluence, having forgotten all about the ' buried bones. But one day, after dig' ging near this hole, we noticed that our ' healthy, vigorous vine was wilting, and in a few hours it was as completely wilt' ed as if it had been pulled up by the ' roots and exposed to arhot. sun. Unable J to account for this.strange circumstance, 1 and suspecting some new enemy, we " | dug it up, carefully following all the roots to their extremities. To our surprise, however, there was J only one root of any oonsequence, and [ this led directly to the aforesaid hole. ! Following it up, we came to where we ^ had cut it, and there taking up the ? severed end, and following that, we i found that the pit full of bones was one : mass of roots. It was evident, therej fore, that when first set out, one of the j roots had pushed off in the direction of | the bones, and on reaching them, it had ; found suoli a supply of nutriment that it alone was competent to carry to the vine all the food it wanted. The other roots therefore dwindled away, or, at least, made but a trifling growth, and the vine, j depending wholly upon the single root . just described, perished when it was cut I oflf. t We may add that the root was almost , bare of fibrils or branches in its course from the vine to the bones, but once [ there it divided and branched in every [ direction, running into the interior of [ the hollow bones, and clasping both in( ternal and external surface with a perfect network of fibrils. To us it showed | several points. Bones are evidently one ,; of the best manures for the vino, and aB | i we wish them to last for years, they j j need not be broken up. As it is well to ! have the roots of the vine spread over a , j considerable space, bones or other very ' I rich manure should not be placed in i holes, but distributed through the soil. 1 : HouHpholU il I Din.

(inrdcnlnft?Hints and NuKjrpatloii'i. In gardening?whether kitchen, floral or fruit of the smaller kinds, the first 1 thing to be done is thorough tillage. If ^ the soil be tenneions, wet and heavy, underdraining is indispensable, if good l" crops be desired. Having prepared the l" soil well, and charged it with good stable 0 ; manure, tho next thing is to procure ; fjood seeds and put them in seaonably, ! aud be careful not to cover them too j* j deep; then the next three requisites are ^ : air, moisture and warmth, the first of ^ ; which is lost if the seed be buried too . ; deep; for if bo they will not germinate, a : From thr^o to five times the diameter 0 j of ordinary garden seeds is deep enough _ I to cover the seeds with well rmlverizpd ! Roil. Peas may be planted just bo boob ! as the soil is lit to work. Beans and e | com, cucumbers and squashes, and sucb p ; other plants as are tender, should be j I planted later. Test your seeds if you jj ! have any doubt, by planting, say hiilf a e | dozen of a kind, in a flower pot by the lm window, and observe how mauy vegec, tete. r A good garden, well prepared anc 'e properly cared for, will produce ail the e vegetables, though it be a small one, i n family needs from early summer to late . autumn. I. Vonni or Growtn* Chick*. i. The proper way to feed oorn is to give n this grain in a " crushed " or "cricked* condition. Common cracked corn maj be fed to them dry, or it may be scalded to advantage, before feeding. It should be given to the fowls fresh, however ; as, if mixed with water or any othei | meal, it quickly grows sour, if not used. Thero are other advantages in feeding I it in this shape?as compared with the j use of whole corn?and these are that in ! the broken state it is taken up much more easily than are the whole kernels, j and when eaten, it digests more readily, i while the process of devouring a given ] quantity is slower, and the birds, ii | never so hungry, can not "gobble il I down " in bulk, as they incline to rusli ! at the whole seeds. But too muoh carc 1 cannot be taken to provide of this article ! only what is eaten up clean at a feeding j ?as after it lies upon the ground, 01 J has become wet, it becomes unpalatable i j and unsavory, ootn. i To Clean a Carpet. ! This must be an excellent way to clear ! a carpet. Try it. First, have it thori oughly dusted and the floor "well cleaned, : Then tack down the carpet ss you wanl i it; take a half-pail of water, hot as car I be borne; put in a tablespoonful oi | ammonia. Have a stiff scrubbing brush , j and borax soap, and scrub a small place ! have a second pail of water and ammonia | rinse off with this, and, with a wooler cloth, wipe as dry as possible. Rene^ the water often, until the whole carpel is cleanBed. Then open the doors and windows to dry it. This removes the grease stains and brightens the carpet. Another and less troublesome way tc clean a carpet is, to sprinkle salt oves j the surface, after it is tacked down, anc j thoroughly Bweep. But the greasf ! spots are not removed by this process, ; The carpet, however, is made to lool very clean and bright.

SUMMARY OF NEWS. Eastern and Middle State* ; Considerable conjecture was aroused by the \ mysterious movements of the steamship Cimbria, which arrived in Southwest Harbor, Me., from Russia. The vessel had been chartered 1 by the Russian government, and proceeding . to Baltio Port, Russia, she took on board nearly 700 men, starting to cruise ostensibly on the Chinese and Japanese coasts. After her , arrival on the Maine coast it was discovered ; that she had on board a regularly organized ? ship's company of sixty officers and 600 seamen i of the Russian imperial navy, as well as a large > amount of stores, although no arms or ammu' nition were visible.

The trip was made in twelve hours, relays of horses being stationed at different points along the route; and the huge coach, with eleven members of the club perched on top, each taking his turn at the reins, attracted much attention as it rattled through New Jersey. When the coach; ing party reached Philadelphia it was received by a large number of vehicles of every description and escorted through the streets by numerous equestrians of both sexes, while the streets were filled with pedestrians and many of the houses were decorated with bnnting in honor of the unusual event.

The exhibition building was gaily decorated with the flags of all nations, and an immense crowd was in the vicinity. The American section, though unfinished, compared favorably with the others. The display of paintings and ? culpture by American artists is the best which this country has ever made abroad.

Th Marshal then reascended to the Trocn dero Palace, the procession reformini behind him, and, after completing th round of the building, crossed over th river to the Champ de Mars. Th troops were drawn up on and near th bridge. The terrace of the Champ d Mars Palace was occupied by Senators Deputies, the Council of State, magis trates, academicians, the military stafl and the French Commissioners.

The Sixth battalion < Chasseurs did the honors of the Troci dero, saluting each section of the corteg on arrival.

This Eastern kingdom possesses ur j mense forests, which contain many sorl j of trees capable of supplying the mot i valuable wood. The vegetable produ< j tion most esteemed by the poor and oj I pressed people is unquestionably th | bamboo. Every house and village, froi the seashore to the mountains, is ftu { nished with its belt of this reed, and, t | judge from the manifold usages to whic I it is applied, they have by no means | superabundance. The young shoots ai j eaten as a vegetable; tne natives mat of it paper, string, and cord, trellis-worl textile fabrics for dress and all other d< mestic purposes, baskets, maps and pai titions; they constrnct of it boats, an utensils for cooking which will stan fire, pipes, and pipe-stems; boxes an coffers lacquered, of great solidity an very elegant; they form their hats of il and the best arms of the country ar bamboo clubs; its horns and thic hedge are the strongest defenses of th i dwellings, and portions of it are sharp ! ened ond driven into the ground in froc I of the fortresses to form stockades, an i every soldier on service is bonnd to b furnished with a certain provision c such pieces; sonorous instruments ar made from it for signals, as well a bridges to cross torrents, and final! houses are built with it.

II The Art of Prolonging Life. V 1 People generally desire long life and good ? y health. Sickness and premature death are \ 3 almost always due to violations of the laws that govern our physical being, and of which foi ' the masses are ignorant. If men knew better wtl 3 they would do better; but how can they avoid bi i an evil that they know not of ? While efforts pa 3 are made through the public schools to ? . give each child a so-called common English II education, yet the children are permitted to grow up and enter upon the responsible duties > of active life, profoundly ignorant of the - structure of their own bodies, and the laws of B 0 physical being upon which their health and lives depend. They are sont to school and ? crammeil with arithmetic, grammar and geography, by teachers who, in many instances, , * have never studied physiology and hygiene, i i They are tanght to locate the mountains and I 3 trace the rivers of foreign countries, but are I j. never taught to locato the vital organs and u e glands of their own bodies, or trace the veins, \ 1 arteries, and nerves in their 'various ramiflca3 tions. They are instructed in the flow of the r tides, and the course of the ocean currents, and y the philosophy of winds and storms; but they ti e have no correct conception of the relative er- Ij fects upon their health of breathing pure or u 0 impure air, nor has their attention ever been 8 i called to the importance of keeping their e bodies clean and healthy by regular bathing. ? e The criminality of such neglect in teaching g{ . becomes apparent when we consider that in. ' the masses, ignorantly violating the laws of health, bring upon themselves Bickness, suft fering and death, that might otherwise l>e avoided. In this condition of things we Welti come into being any work that is calculated to . impart to the masses a knowledge of the structure of their own bodies, the laws of health, and the importance of observing thoso laws, e We find Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical n Adviser to be just such a work. It is phyBioe logical and pathological, and the major part of it should be converted into a text book for ? K the use of common schools. Its careful study will enable the healthy to preeerve'their health, i- and the sickly to regain health. Every r parent should read it, and as their children be- I ' come of proper age, instruct them in the all- ' if /lAnfoina Wflrfl fhia ? much Buffering and premature death would be -i prevented, ana many a youth saved from a life . )f of shame and licentiousness. The book cone tains nearly one thousand pages, is profusely . illustrated with colored plates and wood-en , gravingB. and can be had by addressing B. Y. ? ; Pierce, M.

The poor man cannot; he ^ loathes the sight of food for he has no appc? tite, and the little he forces down his throat d seems to do him no good. Tonio npon tonic ie has been tried upon him vainly, and yet he i- cannot eat what he should to restore his n health. There is one remedy which seldom | i fails?it is Peruvian Syrup. It infuses the pro^ per kind of stimulation to the digestive organs, it turns the glands which secret to their normal )- work removes the fecal matter which dogs . 3 the passages, and infuses health and hope into h the invalid. When the system is run down there is no preparation more effective in renew* ing the impaired powers; and this Peruvian ? Syrup is recommended in all confidence, from 1 - * ??-* o ? <6 lis innereni yirtaen suu ilh ogwm^uouw m,- _ toriea, to all who feel their native powers of I body and mind weakening by tho stress of p over-work.
