ILLUSTRATIONS FOR CHILDREN.

/ once saw a man trying to teach the children
that the soul would live after they were all
dead. They listened, but evidently did not
understand 1t. He was too Snatch
ing his watch from his pocket, he said:
NJames, what is this 1 hold in my hand!'
ga watch, sir"
"a little clock says another.
"Do you all see it,"
eyes, sir"
Glow do you know it is a watch ?"
alt ticks, sir"
every well-can any of you hear it tick ?"
GAN listen now"
After a pause
eyes sir, we hear it."
He then took off the case, and held the case
in one hand, and the watch in the other:
CHOW, children, which is the watch?'
'You see there are two which look like
watches"
"The little one in Your right hand"
every well again. Now L will lay the case
aside-put it away down there in my hat
Now let us see if you can hear the watch tick
ingF
ayes sir, we hear it." exclaimed several
voices.
"Well, the watch can,,tick. and go, and keep
time, you see, when the case is taken off and
put in my hat. The watch goes just as well.
So. it is with you, children. Your body is
nothing but the case, the soul is inside. The
case-the body-may be taken off and buried
up in the ground, and the soul will live and
think, just as we'll as this watch will go, as you
see, when the case is off"

influenza and Common Cold.

T IKE thieves in the silence of the night, have
IL carried many to the silent grove. They are
caused by n sudden check of perspiration, by which
the stomachis rendered inactive, and the lungs be-
come loaded with corrupted matter, which enters the
blood, and disease is the result. For all colds,
coughs, and chills, succeeded by heat, and ali fevers
of every form, hoarseness and rawness of thethroat,
lungs and stomach, and for all weakness and sick
ness of every kind, from three to five of these Pills
on going to bed, for a few days, will be all that you
require to restore you TO perfect health. 1t has been
admitted and claimed all over Europe, that there
never was a medicine, that will e~xtirpate all man
ncr of disease from the system, equal TO DR.. Morses
Indian Root Pills. that the more you take them, the
stronger you grow. They are founded upon the
principle that the human body is subject to but one
diseaee, namely: corrupt humurs. These Pills no;
only cleansed the bowels, but also follow the blood
through every vein and artery, and so purify it from
all morbid and corrupt humors, that disease of every
name is driven from the body.
GREAT FEMALE MEDIcINE.-Female who value
health should never be without these Pills. 1t has
been admitted by a number of physicians, that fe-
males cannot too highly value them They have
given health and spirits to hundreds of females who
without them would have been in their graves
They purify the blood remove distractions, and give
skin a beautiful, the clear, healthy, and interesting
appearance. A box of these Pills is a great medical
companion at certain periods. From one in three
should be taken every day until relief is Attained a
deses occasionly, when well, keep the system in
healthy condition. DR.. Morse's Indian Root Pills
are sold by all dealers in Medicines.

RG- An Indiana man was travelling down
the Ohio in a steamer, with a mare and a two
year-old colt, when by a sudden careen of the
boat, all three were tiled into the river. The
Hoesier, as he rose, putting and blowing, above
water, caught hold Of the tail of the colt, not
having a doubt that the natural instinct of, the
animal would carry him safe ashore. The old
mare took a bee line for the shore but the
frightened colt swan Justly down the current,
with its owner still hanging fast. Let go of
the colt, and hang on to the old mare shouted
some of his friends. 'Phree, boob !! exclaimed
the Hoosier, spouting the water from his
mouth, and shaking his head like a Mewfound-
land dog 'its mighty, fine, your telling me to
let 90 the colt but to a man that can't swim,
this amt exactly the time for sacopping horses.

SPEED OLE RAILWAY CARS.

MANY of the accidents which happen to
persons attempting to cross railroads are the
results of ignorance of the velocity of the iron
horse when fairly under way. A writer in the
Hartford Courant gives some interesting facts
which it may be well to bear in mind:
at seems almost incredible that, as we glide
smoothly along, the elegantly furnished car
moves nearly twice its length in a second of
time-about seventy-four feet. At this velo-
city we find the locomotive driving wheels, six
feet in diameter, make four revolutions per
second. 1t is no idle piston rod that traverses
the cylinder thus eight times per second.
eff a man with n horse and carriage upon an
unimportant public road in a country town
should approach and cross the track at a speed
of six miles per hour, which would be cross
ing very rapidly, an express train approach
ing at the moment would move to ward him
two hundred and ffty-seven feet while he
was in the act of crossing a distance barely
sufficient to clear the horse and vehicle
If the horse was moving at a rate no faster
than a walk, as the track is usually crossed,
the train would move towards him, while in
the act of crossing, more than five hundred
feet. This fact accounts for the many accidents
at such points. The person crossing thinks
he may cross because the train Is a few rods
distant.
GLOW compares the highest speed of the
train will. e~ziositSof sound? When the
whistle is opened at the eighty rod whistle
post, the train will advance nearly one hun
bred feet before the sound traverses the dis
lance to and is heard at the crossings. The
velocity exceeds the fight of birds. The late
DR.. J.. L. Comstock, the well-known author
of several philosophical works, informed the
writer that he was recently passing through
Western New York when the train actually
ran down and killed a common hawk. The
train was stopped, and the game so rarely cap
tured was secured Scientific An,ericon.

FRIGHTFUL DEATH.

John Woodhouse Heart, son of Mr.. Heart
once of the Charleston Mercury, but now re-
siding at the corner of G, near 18th street, in
this city, came by his death on Thursday
night in a fearful and extraordinary manner.
It appears that Mr.. Heart left the house Of
his parents on Thursday afternoon, stating
that he intended to spend the night at the
House of Mrs Walker, a relation of his living
on L Street, between 18th and 9Th Unfortu-
nately, while on his way there, he was detained
at the house of another relative to whom he
paid a visit, and when he reached the house
on L street, he found that the family had re-
tired to rest; that all the doors were lock-
ed. He then went into the alley, and en-
deavored to gain admission by the stable door.
Over this door there was an opening or tran
som of sufficient width to admit his head, and
having climbed UP to it he put his head and
one arm through for the puIpose of unfastea=
ing the bolt inside, and while in the act of
doing so his feet Slipped and he was caught
under the chin and on the back Of the neck
by the boards above and below, and was choaked
to death, and remained thus suspended until
| Yesterday morning, when he was found by a
servant who had occasion to 60 to the stable.
When the body was discovered it was found
that a part of the clothing had been torn off by
a dog, (not his own which attacked him while
he was suspended.
Mr.. Heart was a young man of excellent
disposition, and to his parents ever affection
ate and obedicnt, and to society he promised
great future usefulness; but alas, he has thus,
in the bud of manhood and the bloom of health,
been cut down-another example of the terrible
uncertainty of life and the necessity of being
prepared for death. Prepare ye the ways Of
the Lord, make straight his paths, for ye know
not at what hour Of the night he may come"
Peace be to his ashes.-W ashiagtOn States,

In Freedoms darkest night,
Stood m~anfully with Washington
And battled for the right: r

Twas this Boy that flew his kite
To the thunder clouds on high,
Till he brought the forked lightning down
From regions of the sky
Twas he who caught the fiery horse
And trimmed him to the chase,
Tillnow he's driven safe by Morse
Right into the printers case,
Ben Franklin was that printer boy, 5
