HANDSOME MEN.--Tf you are ever threat
ened with a handsome man in the family,
just take a cloihes-pounder, while he is yet

From some cause or other, handsome men
are invariably asses they cultivate their
hair and complexion 50 much, that they
have no time to think Of their brains. By
The time they reach thirty, their heads and
hands are equally soft. Again we say, If
you wish 10 find an intelligent man, just
look for one with features SO rough that You

No USE FOR TROwsERs.-On the morn
ing Of the metcoric showers in 1898, old
Peyton Roberts, who intended making an
early start TO his work, got up in the midst
Of the display. On going to the door, he
saw with amazement the sky lighted up with
falling metoors, and he concluded at once
that the world was on FIRE, and that the day
Of judgment had come. lie stood for mo-
ment gazing in speechless terror upon the
scene, and then with yell of horror,
sprang out Of the door into the ward, right
in the midst of falling stars, and here in his
efforts 10 dodge them, he commenced a Sc
ries Of ground and lofty tumbling that wo'd
have done honor to tight rope dancer
His wife being awakened in the meantime.
and seeing old Peyion jumping and skipping
about The yard, called out 10 him so know
" whalin the name Of sense he was doin'
out thar dancin' round without his clothes
on" Bat Peylon heard not-the Judgment
and the long black accounts he would have
to settle, made him needless of all terrestrial
things, and his wife by this time becoming
alarmed at his strange behavior, sprang out
Of bed, and running to the door, skrieked
out at the top Of her lungs
"Peyton | say Peyton! what on airth
do you mean by jumPin there Come in

Old Peyton, whose fears had nearly over

The value Of this medicine is now widely
known, and every day the field Of it's usefulness is
extended. II is approved and highly recommend
ed by physicians, and admitted to be the most
powerful and searching preparation from the root,
that has ever been employed in medical practice.
Its operation extends to the remoiest parts Of the
system, and CONSISTS in removing diseased action
in the absorbing and Secreung organs. In man,
Nature seldom effects, unassisted, the euro of any
viruent disease but requires the aid of slimulant
Alternative, or antiseptic medicine. In diseases Of
the skin and flesh, a combination of these three
classes of medical agents is highly desirable. All
these properties are combined in this preparation
and instead Of operating suceessively upon the
system, as they must necessarily do when taken
separately, they operate simultaneously and in
perfect harmony when administered in this form.
It's tonic property strengthens the digestion, and
improves the appetite, Its Alternative tendency
carries of the accumulations OF morbid matter ;
and its antiseptie influence ncutrazes the virus,
by which the disease is fosiered. It's uniform sue.
cess in curing and relieving the various diseases
for which it is recommended, is established by a
multitude ol facts.

THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,

is work of more'recent origin thHn those already
described-but is, nevertheless, destined to occupy
as prominent place in the Republic Of Letters.
The great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
led to its establishment, There was no Journal in
the United Kingdom, which appeared to meet the
necessities of the Anti Nationalchurch' agitation
Indeed, the revolution caused by the disruption
induced a new state of things, placing the actors
in new positions Of observation nor could they
give utterance to their perceptions Of State and
Church Policy-their new sYmathies-their new
emotions, without some organ ofthought than any
hen extant. Hence the spontaneous agreement Of
the great master minds among them, in the neces
sity of new outlet of opinion, and the immediate
creation Of the North British Review. The basis
of this Journal is the Evangelism Of the Nineteenth
century nor is 1t to be overlooked as one Of the
striking characteristics of the times, and the grand
principle which Robertson, Smith. and many Of
the eminent men ofScotland took the field centu-
ry ago to write down, is now advocated and vim
dicated in this able work, and in the same literary
metropolis
