GoOD COMPARISON

The Rev. William Roulatt, a we'll known
Methodist clergyman, residing at Naples, draws
the following amusing but apt comparison be-
tween DIR. M'Lane's celebrated Vermifuge
and ferret:
"a ferret, when placed at the entrance of
a rat hole, enters the aperture, travels along
the passage, seizes upon the rat, exterminates
his existence, and draws the animals defunct
carcass to the light. And in like manner
have found DR.. MLane's American VermI-
fuge to operate upon worms, those dreadful
and dangerous tormenters Of children. This
remedy, like the ferret, enters the aperture of
the mouth, travels down the gullet, hunts
round the stomach, lays hold of the worms.
shakes the life out Of the reptiles, sweeps
clean their den, and carries their carcass clear
out of the system. This, at least, has been
the effect of the Vermifuge upon my children"
A neighbor of Mr.. Roulatt, Mr.. John Briggs,
adopts the smile of the reverend eertifer,
thus both giving their most unequivoeal APP
proval of this great specific, after having wit
messed its operation upon their own children.
Let Others try it and be satisfied.
Purchasers will please be careful to ask for
Dr. PLane'e Celebrated Vermifuge, and take
none else. All other Vermifuges in COMPARE
son, are worthless. Dr. MLane's genuine
Vermifuge also his Celebrated Liver Pills,
can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores
in the United States and Canada.

A WILD BEAST Professionally law re-
Gently passed by the Connecticut Legislature,
forbidding the passage of wild animals
through any part of Connecticut excepting in
the night time, and escorted and heralded by
competent guards, was, MS we learn from the
Hartford Times, carried out practically on the
eve of the Fourth of July. A wild wood
chuck was caught for the occasion. A large
truck wagon was then procured, in which was
placed n jackass. On the back of the jackass
was "Hiram," a gentleman of color, who
never shrinks from defence of law and or
der" On Hiram's back was the wood.chuck,
and the whole was drawn by splendid black
gelding, and surrounded by body guard of
hard. listed voters. AS the law required that
The wood.chuck's approach should be an
nounced under penalty of 800, a strong
lunged man went in advance blowing horn
of terrible sound, by which the people for q
mile round or more, were made fully aware
that the wild animal was on the road, and
would be "aiter them with sharp stick"

The REAL RAILWAY KISG.-The London

The REAL RAILWAY KING.-The London
Times makes the following remarks, on the
erection in the Great Hall at Euston Square
terminus, of statue to George Stephenson
an early life a collier, working for his daily
bread in the bowels of the earth, he mended
watches in his leisure hours, that his son
might have the blessings of education. While
his fame as n mechanical and civil engineer
was still in its infancy, he elaborated expert.
mentally the same result as to the safety lamp
which Sir Humphrey Davy reached bv the
process OF philosophic induction. The tram
ways of the coal mines and the rude forms of
the frs. locomotive engines grew under the
strokes of his vigorous intellect into n mighty
system, which has already exercised an meal
culabe influence upon industry and civiiza-
ton. The one who, when a boy, was a thur.
rier' in coal pit, should, by the force of ma
tive genius, rise to position such as that
which the statue in the Hall of Euston station
commentaries, may well be regarded as
proof that the days of romance are not yet
over, nor the giants of an elder world without
their types in modern times. Perhaps it is
also to be viewed rs characteristic of the
age, that the fame of such man is so quietly
left to the good keeping of the works which
he has achieved. The traveller hastening on
his way should pause ut Euston station, to
contemplate the masculine form, and massive,
energetic features of him who, by combining
the blastpipe with the tubular boiler, first
endowed the locomotive with its tremendous
speed-who, during his busy manhood, su-
perintcnded the construction of more than
$500 miles of ralWay-Who thought ont
everything connected with our first iron high
ways-and who engineered lines extending
in unbroken series from London to Edinburg."
