dunjancy Of vtiatod bile, at this season, and it s

rills afford an inyaulLa and efficient protection.
by their occasional use We prevent the collection
Of those impurities, which, when in sufficient

way to the very roots Of the disease, cleansing in
their passage, removing every unhealthy accuinu-
lation till the blood is purified, the whole system

Never extract blood Blood is the life. by abstract

taking away natures tools, you may prevent her
from fully repairing the ravagcs of inflammation,
and convert what might only have been the sick
ness of few days or weeks into chronic afec-
tion of months and years.

A YOUNG HERO.

Master Walters had been much annoyed by
some one of his scholars tchiahng in school.
Whenever he called boy to order for such dis
turbance, he would plead that ii was pninten-
tional-'he forgot all about where he was"
This became so frequent the master threatened
a severe punishment TO the next offender. The
next day, when the room was unusually quiet,
a loud, sharp whistle broke the stiffness. Ev-
cry one asserted that it was a certain boy who
had the reputation of a mischief-maker and a
liar. lie was called up; and though with a
somewhat stubborn look, he denied it again, he
was commanded to hold out his hand AT this
instant little slender fellow not more than
seven years old, came out, and with very pale
but decided face, held out his hand, saying as
he did so, with a clear tone and firm air of a
hero: "Mr. Walters, sir, do not punish him
! whsied. was doing long, hard sum, and
in rubbing out another, rubbed it out by mis-
take ard spoiled it all, and before ] thought,
whis,led right ont, sir. | was very much
afraid, but could not sit there, and act lie,
when knew who was to blame. You may fer
ule me, sir, as you should" And, with all the
firmness he could command, he again held Out
the little hand, never for moment doubling
that he was 10 be punished.
Mr.. Walters was much affected.
''Charles," said he, looking at the erect form
of the delicate dhild, who had made such con-
quest over his natural timidity, 81 would moi
strike yoL blow for the world. No one here
doubts ,ha, you spoke the truth you did not
mean 10 whistle. You have been hero, sir. "
The boy went back TO his seat with flushed
face, and quietly wen, on with his sums. He
must have felt that every eye was upon him in
admiration, for the smallest scholar could ap.
preciate the moral courage of such an action

H U TING A SIT U A TI0N.
by MAURICE sILINGsDY.

John Peters had just graduated from the mer-
camille college in New York, and with rec
ommendation and diploma in his pocket, was
now in search OF situation. He was good
looking young man Of twenty-three, had earned
with his own hands the money Professor Ferdi-
nand Costello De Guer had received in exchange
for his education when finished. II we mistake
not, John Peters was native OF little town
in Connecticut, which, from some oversight on
the part of previous compilers, has had the mis-
fortune to be entirely overlooked by the great
Mr.. Brookes, in his universal scrutiny of the
State.
For fear of rendering the town classical, as
being the birthplace of our hero, we shall re-
frain from further mention of it, satisfied that
the curiosity as already excited, will induce
future compilers to be more accurate in their
researches, and thus, in the course of time, it
may come to be awarded to the aforesaid town,
in spite of its isolation and obscurity, its due
share of geographical notice and importance.
In what part of the city John Peters resided,
or where he happened to be on the morning TO
which we refer, is point not clearly shown.
| am sorry, however, because the locality Of
John Peters might tend to strengthen the iden-
tity of John Peters, and prevent him chad this
fact with other important items been clear
ly established in the mind of the wealthy aud
influential John Meirs) from entrapping the
pretty bird which policy and worldly calcula.
iion had already beat into the bush for John
Peters the second.
That John Peters had been looking over the
morning papers cannot be doubted, from the
fact that o'clock A. NJ. found him standing
at the door of Mr.. Joshua Meirs's counting
