The Nine Lizards.
BY DI VERNON.

1t was "orr Nary that told me the tafc.
Mike Brady was at work in the harvest field;
when getting tired he laid himself down beside
a bay-cock, and fell asleep. A small stream ran
gurgling by at short distance from his resting
place, and while he lay snoring away like--like
any body that snores with his mouth wide open
"a lizard creeping from the waters edge, took
the opportunity of walking quietly down his
throat. The poor fellow Immediately awobe,
almost choked to death; but when he stood up
on his feet, and recovered his consciousness, the
lizard was comfortably ensconced in his stom-
ach, and Mike &ne,o nothing about it. .........
However, after that day, he became sickly
and thin, but his appetite increased accordingly;
and although he devoured at meal enough for
seven mer he was all the time nearly starred to
death He sought the doctor, who after cate
chising him pretty severely, came at last to the
right conclusion, and proceeded to act accordingly.
First, he made Mike eat about fifty salted
herrings until he could not swallow another
morsel. In a little while, poor Paddy's thirst
became intel g., but not one drop Of waters
would the doctor allow him. In short he was
not permitted to take drink until his raging
thirst caused him the most terrible agony
Then the doctor ordered a tub Of water to be
placed on the floor, and making Mike get down
on his hands and knees over it, and open his
mouth, he held him in such manner that he
could not even moisten his parched tongue.
Tn about TWO minutes the lizard, whose thirst
was fully equahto Mixes, began to crawlup the
terrified mans throat. 1t had no sooner
leaped from his mouth into the water than an
other and anothvrreptile of the same specie
followed the first, until no less than nine Shiny
lizards left that mans stomach. The Doctor then
pulled him a*ay rave him q glass Of brandy,
which he had no sooner drank than he tainted.
Another,dose poufetl down his, throat Brought
him to life again, however, and-anG that's the
end of the story Poqtey's Spirit .amy4e.

language is used in all the Naturalization Laws

For a long time there was a paragraph
making its regu ar weekly appearance in our
columns, with the brief. but emphatic words
"Fits Fits" always at the head, to some an
offensive caption. but not so to the benevolent
and-humane, who could sympathize in the
sorrows Of others. Some persons are shocked
at any indication OF disease, and are even
thrown into nervous excitement on witnessing
hearse or coffin. Such are to le pitied.--
We should always strive to look disease and
even death in the face with calmness, and es
pecially take every advantage for allevinting
disease. Viewed in this light, the advertise
ments of SIS. Hance, of 1O8 Baltimore street

those who know of any one suffering from
Epilepsy, Spasms, or Fits of any kird, should

be sent to any part of the country by mail.

Remedy for all disorders affecting the intes

hesitation by all who have tried them, to be
one Of the most eficaclous remedies ever made
known, they act so directly upon the affected
parts that it is, impossible for any disease of
the stomach or bowels to resist their searching
influence, an so they thoroughly pass through
and cleanse the system, removing all traces of
disease. 1t is remarkable fact, that these
Pills seldom fail to restore the patient to
health even after every other remedy had been
used unsuccessfully. SO
