 By indigestion is meant loss ofappeIite and greal weakness, particularly of the legs and wasting of the whole system. heartburn, or an uneasy SenSa- ton of heat about the pit of the stomach which is sometimes attended with nausea or sickness of the generally sour, paeness of the countenance, sssve ness, languor, gddiness, lowness of spirits, and dsturned sleep, palpitation of the heart, atulency, &c. &c.
 These symptoms vary in different persons,s ,some ex- periencng more oithem, and some less each ln the order and degree of his particular case. These Pills act powerful tonic, neutraze the acid upon the samach, give strength to the facilitated organs ofdgeston, the appetite, remove at the stomach, and ultimately recover the health of the pa tent.

PHILOSOPHY AND INDEPENDENCE
 You can't make me believe that folks who have their five thousand dollars year ant any happier than I am, said tarmes Jones to his neighbor Bond: Well, then I shan't try said neighbor Bond, quietly knocking the ashes out of his pipe, e,and wip- ing his mouth for draught of cider: Hi any man likes to think Providence has dealt over hard with him, he may have the comfort of it, for all me. .'-'There is no getting round you, neighbour Bond,' said farmer Jones: but tell me now, honestly, shouldn't you be willing to leave off work ing, and take fifty thousand dollars if it were offered to you?' 'Very like might flor, as Aunt Betty says, there is great deal of human nature in man ; but l hope the temptation won't come in my way,- for I shouldn't be as happy as am now You wouldn't be obliged to work then, neighbor.' No, and ifI was not obliged to work shouldn't work and then am sure shouldn't be contented. l have had bit of experience this way, Mir Jones, though never was over and above rich. I'll tell you my experience. Dick Brown
 
 boys together-a couple of poor and mer- ry devils as ever capered to " Yankee Doo- dle.' Dick and never had but one fight, though we were always together, and that, Aunt Betty has often told me, was all ow- ing to the sinful uplftings of my nature.- A sick gentleman came to our house upon horseback, and father told one of us boys to go to the tavern, and buy some gin for him..
 'The tavern was three quarters of a mile etf, the road lay through pokersh bit of Wood' and it was beginning to be dark.- My brother Jim had parcel of 'raw head and bloody bones' stories told him and he didn't altogether like the notion of going. Youmust know, neighbor Jones, that, man and poy, nave always been over and d. bove willing to be brave Ny proxy. as ,hey call it. So I says to Jim, luol;un as 6c,ca as bullet all the time, 'Now Jim ant vou ashamed of yourself to be scared P I had just as lief go through tha, 'ere woud as ,o go to bed.' My father laughed ,and ln,keJ sort of mlschievous,E thought. Well, ,WM suppose you go then,' said he. He migh, just as well have shot mo dead, as to have said them words. But, thinks Jim i'll crow, and Dick i'll laugh,--so I-may as well stand to Ay word.' It was but a boys motive, neighber Jones but if you will show me man who was never gov erned by just such motive, in tho way of politics, business, and such like, will tell you that man IS one in five hundred We'll,

SONNETS. O! Evening, have loved thee with joy Tender and pure, and thou hast ever been soother of my sorrows. When boy l wandered often to a lonely glen, And far from all the stir and noise of men, Held fond communion with uaearthly things, s.,ch as come gathering brightly round us, when Imagination scars and shakes her wings. Yes, in that secret valley, doubly dear For all it's natural beauty, and the hush That ever brooded OCT it, I would lay My thoughts in deepest calm-and if a bush Hustled, or small bird shook the beechen spray, There seemed ministerng angel whispering near.
 P. o! would that dreams were not the things they are Mere unsubsantial pageants, born and dying With the light sleep that makes them, coming flying Like evening clouds, how beautiful and fair! o! they are thinner than the empty air, And yet how blessed, when they bend and sme- How the heart flows away in raptures, while, Dear, fond illusions, they are lingering there! They have touch and voice-That bosom,s sw elling With young world ofjoys, how softly heaves; It lifts its gauzy veil, like featlery leaves Waved lightly o'er Yemen's paImy dwelling, A higher bliss than even Hope believes, To the fx'd eye of slumbering fondness telling.

THE REGULATOR FISH.

CT all the wonderful contrivances bv
 which the wisdom of the Creator has ena-
 bled various animals to procure their ne- ce>sary food, few, perhaps, are more curi- onS than the following. The Jaculator
 fish, (GhoetcdOn rastratum of Lin.) shoots its prey. This singular fish has only been observed in the Chinese Archipelago,
 where it frequents the rivers and sea shores. Its food consists of flies or bee ties, which settle upon trees and bushes overhangine the water; and to bring these into its own element, and thus within it's reach, the Jacuator. after approaching within convenient distance, and fixing it's eyes inten5ly on it's destined victim, dis charges drop of water from its mouth with such precision as seldom fails to bring down the object into the water, where it is immedialely devoured. The Jaculator can shoot with effect to distance of four, or five, or even six feet. It is described as " small fish, about six inches in length. See Edin. New Phil. Jour. June, 1928.
