DROWNING THE SQUIRREI.-Whcn I was
about six years old, one morning, going to
school, ground rrI ran into b s hole in
the ground before me, as they like to dig holes
in some open place, where they can put out
their head to see if any danger is near. l
thOnght, now will have fine fun. As there
was a stream OF water just at hand, | deter
mined to pour water into the hole until it
woald be full, and force the little animal up
so that might kill it. got trough beside
a sugar maple, used for catching sap, and was
soon pouring the water it on the squirrel. /
could hear it struggle to get up, and said
All, my fellow, | will soon have you out
now"
Just then heard voice behind me "Well,
my boy, what have you got there 2" l turn
ed, and saw one of my neighOors, good old
man with long white locks, that had seen SIX
ty winters. Why" said |, " have ground
squirrel in here, and am going to drown him
out"
Said he, Jonathan, when was little boy
more than fifty years ago, was engaged ono
day Just rs you are, drowning a ground Squir-
REL and an old man came along and said TO
me, " You are a little boy now if you WAS
down in a narrow hole like that, and | should
come and pour water down upon you to drown
you, would you not think was cruel ? God
made the little squirrel, and life is as sweet to
it as you, and why will you torture to death IL
little inpacent creature that God has made =
Said he, " | have never forgotten that, and
never shall never have killed any harmless
creature for fun since. Now, my dear boy, |
want you to remember this while You live, md
when tempted to kill any poor little innoeeut
animal Or bird, think Of this, and mind God
don't allow US to kill his pretty little creatures
for fun"
More than forty years have since passed, and
/ never forgot what the good man said, nor
have ever killed the least animll 70; fun
since that advice was first given, and it sas
not lost its influence yet. How fhany little
creatures it has saved from being tortured Il
death cannot tell, but | have ne doubt a
great lumber and | believe my WHOLE fl

. A MEDICAL OPINIoN.-We need for our
dwellings more ventilation and less heat we
need more outdoor exercise, more sunlight,
more manly. athletic and rude sports we
need more amuSementS, mo.e holidays, more
frolic, aud noisy, bOiSterouS mirth. Our 10
fants need better nOurishment than coIorless
mothers can ever furnish, purer milk than dis
tiletieS can manufacture our children need
more romping and less study. Our old men
need more quiet and earlier relaxation from
the labors of life. All men, both young and
DID, need less medicine and more good counsel
Our cities need cleansing, pagiHg and draining.
The Asiatic cholera, the yellow fever, the
plague, and many other fearful epidemics are
called the opprobra Of our ast and felIow-ct-
zens upbraid us with the feebIeness and in
efficiency of our resources in staying their ia,

though we do not fail to cure these maladies,
the more precious secret of prevention is in
our possession and has been for these many
years DIR Hamilton. t". ra

MOONLIGHT PICTURES.

o, moonlight, making pictures bright "a
Upon my parlor wall ...
Thou bringest to me a childish voice,
gentle, timid call s
OF one who, with her little face
Pressed 'gainst the window pane,
Would call throughout the twilighttime,
90, moonlight, come again -..-.#-
And make bright pictures on my wall Z"
And when the dropping trees, ..
Were parted by the moaning winds --
That came up from the ssaS. 4 2
And quivering bars of silver light
Were moving Ger the wall
The shadows of the boughs without, 80
And even the blossoms fall ...
Shed try to grasp those shining rays,
And, in that soft, bright light, ,
She looks on now-unseen she walks
With angels robei in white.
almost see her upturncd face,
Her large and wondering eyes,
A watching now the fleecy clouds ~.
Go sailing up the skies,
almost hear those childish words
They soothe my hearts deep pain
As clouds go drifting DER the moon,
80, pictures, come again!
o, whispering winds and sob binS seas,
lsten-nOw she's dead
Her little voice filled all my heart, ....
heard not what ye said
o, mOonbeams, rest upon the grave
Where my blue-eyed baby sleeps
But come not to the dreary walls
Wherein a mother weeps.

MINIsYERING ANGELs.-The beautiful have
gone, with their bloom, from the gaze OF hu-
man eyes Soft eyes that made it spring time
in our hearts are seen no more. We have
loved the light of many a smile that has faded
from US now, and in our hearts have fingered
sweet singing voices, that now are hushed in
the silence Of death.
Seats are left vacant in our earthly homes,
which none again can fill, Kindred and friends,
loved ones, have passed away one by one
Our hearts are lett desollte We are lonely
without them.
They have passed, with their love, away to
the land from whence they can never return.
Shall we never see them again Memory
turns with lingering regret to recall their smile,
and the loved tones of their dear familiar
voices la fancy they are often by our side,
but their home is on a brighter shore. They
visit Us in dreams, ajlting over our memory
Ike shadows over the streams of mOon-ljt wa
tcrs.
When the heart is wrung with anguish, a ID
the weary soIl is bowed with grief, do they
not come and whisper thoughts OF comfort and
hope? Yes sweet memory brings them to
u, and the love we bear them lifts the heart
from earthly aspirations, and we long to see
them in that better land.
They hover around US, the ethereal, dear
departed ones, the loving and the loved, they
watch with eyes that Slumber not. When
gentle dreams arc wandering to the angel land,
in whispers wakes the h.mning sweet Of that
bright, happy choir, revealing many tale Of
hope and bliss, and tenderness, and love They
tell Of snnny realms ne'er viewed by mortal
eye, of forms arrayed in faleess beauty, and
sound for lofty anthems to their great Crea,
tors praise in sweet seraphic numbers. And
this bright vision of the best diSsoIves the tu-
mutt of fes jarrng scenes they fade in air,
and then We glory in the thought that we are
heirs of Immortality.
And why is it that we regard with such
deep reverence aud love, those bright celestial
beings of another sphere All it is because
they take an interest in our welfare, and joy
over our success in the great battle Of life
they are not purely selfish in their happiness
but fain wonld have US share it with them.

DR.. M'LANE'S
CELEBRATED
VERM IFUGE
~ ND
LIVER PILLS.

WE beg leave to call the atten-
w ton of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two Of the most popu-
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Or. Chas, NJ Lanes Celebrated
Vermiluge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz:
THE VERMIFUGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. 1t has also been
administered with the most salts
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS, .
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all BILlous DERANcEMENTs SICK
HEAD-AcHE, &c. In cases of
FEVER AND .AGuE,
preparatory to or after taking Qui-
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
toned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad-
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTSBURGH, PA.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de-
termlned that Or. N Lanes Nele-
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purest material, and COM
pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all orders to
