any of this communication, Tor the Der eft of the

removing any morbid accumulation, or restoring.a

This emetic, from its peculiar combination, has a
threefold effect upon the system. When any morbid
affection depends upon, or is connected WITH over
distenson of the stomach the presence Of acrd or
indigestible substances vomiting gives speedy relief

action and thus changes the secretons BY its stimu-

A Legend of Killarney.

THERE was once upon q time, near the wes-
tern coast of ireland, a romantic valley inhabi-
ted by q few peasants, whose rude cabins were
surrounded by the most luxuriant trees, and
sheltered by mountains rising almost perpendic-
ularly on every side Ireland has still many
beautiful green wales, but there is not one so
deeply, SO securely nestled among the hills, as
the one of which spkak. And to the depth
of the deepest of these lakes, the height of the
loftiost mountain that tower above US, and you
may then, from some idea of the deep seclusion
of this forgotten valley
Norah was the prettiest girl in the little Will
age. She was the pride of her old father and
mother, and the admiration of every youth who
beheld her. The cottage of her parents was the
neatest in the neighborhood Norah knew how
to make the homelest chamber look cheerful
and the honeysuckles round the easement was
taught by her hand to twine more gracefully
than elsewhere.
There was but one spring of water in this
valley it was the well of the brightest anC
clearest water ever seen, which bubbled up from
the golden sand, and then lay calmly sleeping
in basin of the whitest marble From thi
basin, there did not appear to be any outlet
the water ran into it necessarily, but no on,
could detect that any part of it escaped again
1t was the fairy well
In those days there wsre Fairies so saw
the legend, and so says Crofton Croker tha
inimitable historian of the little people of Ire
land in the olden time ours is not story in
volving in its details national habits and char
acterstcs; on such ground who would dare t,
complete with him notI
10 return to the well it was as | said before
a Fairy well, and was held in great veneratio,
by the inhabitants of the valley.
There was tradition concerning it whicl
time out of mind had descended from parent t.
child. 1t was coverad with huge stone, which
though apparently very heavy, could be remove,
with ease by the most delicate female; and i
was said to be the well of the Fairy who presi
ded over it, that all the young girls of the will
age should so there every evening after sunset
remove the stone, and take from the marble
basin US much water as would be sufficient 70

Poor DOC "A French merchant having some
money due him, set out on horseback, accompa-
MED by his dog, to receive it Having accom-
plished his business, he tied the money bag be-
fore him and began his journey home. The
merchant, after riding some miles. alighted to
repose himselft and taking the bag of money in
his hand, laid it down by his side, under a
hedge, and, on remounting, forgot it. The dog
perceived this error, and, wishing to rectify it,
ran to fetch the bag but it was too heavy for
him to drag along. He then ran to his master,
and by crying, barking and bowling, seemed to
be determined 10 remind his master Of his loss
The merchant, absorbed in some reverie, wholly
overlooked the real object of his afectionate at
tendant's importantly, and conceived the alarm
ing apprehension that the dog had gone mad.
Deeply lamenting the necessity of parting with
his dog, and constantly more and more impressed
that he was really rabd, he drew pistol from
his pocket, and turning his head away, fired.
The aim was but too true--the faithful animal
tell wounded to the earth, and the merchant
rode on. Sometime after, the merchant, invol-
unfairly reaching out his hand, discovered hi;
loss. In an instant he comprehended his rash
ness and folly and turning his horse, galIoped
back to the place where he had stopped. He
discovered the traces Of blood, but he looked in
vain for the dog-ho had crawled, wounded as
he was, to the bag, and laid down beside it as a
guard. When he saw his master, be testified
his Joy by wagging his tail and in attempting
to caress his master, he cast his last look of af-
fection in his face and fell back and died.

1t is well for man to take pride in his voca-
tiou hut the degree to which come of our ed
ucational magazines magnify the Office of teacher
suggests the idea to ill-natured people that they
are only making virtue of necessity. The
Office of teacher is honorable enough, but it is
possible to over-state its Importance
Just as the twig is bent the trees inclined, re-
marks the " English Reader" True. But no
skill in bending or straightenieg can convert
twig of hemlock into spront of apple, nor re-
duced an oak sapling to the rank of poplar, nor
convert ivy into grapevine. Good culture can
help the young cabbage to grow into large and
compact head, but is a cabbage still. Bad cul.
ture can prevent the perfect development of
rose but if it lives at all, it lives a rose Breed
is the great thing, and next to breed comes
growth The teacher is only the gardener to
immortal plants; it is his to keep down the weeds
that would draw away nourshment suited to the
nature of each, and to defend all from the vermin
that would, prey upon them
But, after all the chief duty Of childhood is to
groo. Nature will do almost all that is required
if Nature is allowed to do it. AT the present
day it is only poor children, for whom no one
cares, that have chance of healthy develop
men, others are blighted by oyer-culture. The
gardener is always fumbling at their roots
with his hard thick fingers. Oh let the poor
children alone more! And never suppose that /

SCENE SECOND.


A quadrile-dancers in their places-Padcorn
and Miss Pork together; Padcorn sees column
advancing towards him wishes to beat rapid
retreat, but Miss Pork seizes his hand, and both
advance towards the column. He goes through
series Of eyolutons, and at length finds himself,
in dreadful perspiration, back in his former po-
sltion. At the right hand across, Padcorn
advances to meet the coming gentleman, who
holds ont his hand, which Padcorn cordially
shakes, and next finds the opposite lady's left
hand extended which he also shakes very cor
daily, and finally tells Miss Pork that they
ought to call that shake-hand." The quadrille
breaks up, and Padcorn is delighted with himself
and Miss Pork And now the Polka commences.
Padcorn and Miss Pork looks on. To his vir.
tuous astonshment and Indignation, he sees
man, in the garb of gentleman, before all the
guests, deliberately put his arm around adys
waist, who, so far from resenting it, lovingly
Placss ora Of her own hands on bis shoulder,
while with The other she clasps the gentleman's
left hand, and then both whirl around the room
together. Before he can give vent to his feel
ings, several others follow suit, until finding it
universal, Padcorn himself becomes infected with
the bad example, and places his arm (as he had
seen the Others do) around Miss pork's waist
who Indignantly repels him, and says, Why,
Mr.. Padcarn, what do mean, sir "
Padcorn.-I was only doing as you said lit
tie while ago" Do as the others do"
Mss Pork.-Yes, sir, but this is very i'm
proper conduct-they are dancing and we are
not.
Padcorn-Bu if know how to dance,
would you go out with me in the middle of the
room, and let me put my arm around your
waist?
Miss Pork.-(delighted) On yes you do,
then, really dance how charming let US 60
instantly.
Padcorn-(severely)- Miss Pork l do not
dance But do you mean to tell me that to put
my arm around your waist here, where but very
few people would see US, is more improper than
to do so out there, where the whole world is the
spectator, and there make teetotums of ourselves
till we both seem but one object whirling around
through space =
Here an apparent combination Of her and
neck ties interrupted the conversation by asking
Miss Pork if he can have the pleasure of polk
ing with her, who drops courtesy to Mr.. Pad
corn, and is next seen whirling around in answer
to the last question.
Padcorn. much recruited by supper feels ready
for anything cordially accosts an old friend
who he sees standing absorbed in deep thought,
but receives, to his astonishment very cold and
constrained reply, and the next moment finds
himself alone in the centre of the ROOM having
been disgracefnlly "cut" by his old friend
Forgives him Afterwards, however, on seeing
him engaged in what he finds, on inquiry, to be
the " German cotIion." The party finally
breaks up, and Padcorn, in some unaccountable
way, reaches home-wakes up in the morning
with dreadful headache, and firmly resolves
that his first party shall also be the last.
