the following old, but good story: : s5zs

They told him to "fre away" where

a certain king-I don't remember his
name had philosopher on whom he
depended. Now, it SO happened, that
the king took it into his head to 90
hunting, and after summoning his no

tions, be, summoned the philosopher and
asked him if It would rain. The philos-
aopher told him that it would not, and he
and his mobiles departed.
While journeying along, they met
countryman on jackass. He advised
them to return, for, said he, ''it will
certainly rain." They smiled contempt
uously on him and passed on. Before
they had gone many miles, however,
they had reason to regret not having

Compound Extract of SarsapariIla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active rcmedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula but also those other affec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERuPT1vg.

in "inpmity Of the blood" is founded in truth,

A Few Words about Fat Girls.

Now of fat girls there are several va
rieties There is your baby girl, de-
lightful little dumpling of Il child, ey-
cry one of whose dimpels is mine of
delight, and every one Of the creases in
whose rosy lips inspires you with an ir-
resistible propensity to tickel it. These
are little baby children that Rubens
painted so gloriously. He made their
little pufel out cheeks celestially rose
ate; he curled their faxen locks like
unto til: young tendrils of the vine; he
tipped their little heels and elbows with
rich carnations, he took away their sex
and made them epicene; and when he
had added little wings Of green and
golden pllmage to their shoulders, they
we're no longer baby children, but an
gels, ministering in the apotheoses of
kings and emperors, who I sincerely
trust, have reached the destination
which the courtly pencil of Peter Paul
ascribed to their dead majesties. Then
there is your fat school girl, with long
fair rim nglets, profuse as Louis Quar-
torze perruque, with fixed blue eyes
that remind you unpleasantly Of the
PantheonAazar and Madame Montanri' S
waxwork shops, and with dull, listless
fxity of demeanor that makes one al
ways wish to find out whereabouts the
string is, in order to pull it, and cause
the eyes to move and great doll to
squeak ''pa pa and 'ma ma
Yet another variety of the fat school
girl is there in the romp, OF "tom- boy
and who is continually grazing the skin
off her arms, and tearing the trimming
off the ends of her trousers; who if she
lives in the country, is in the habit Of
catching young colts and riding them
without saddle or bride round paddocks;
who is always getting into domestic
trouble through her transactions with a
big black dog fond of the water and
chivying cats; who is always laughing,
has a tremendous appetite, and once
fought with a boy and came off victori
GUS The decline of the old fashioned
system of education and the rise of sem
inaries and collegiate institutions, where
young ladies attend lectures on the
Odic force and the Therapeutic Cos
mogny of Ancient Art, has made the
tom-boy fat girl an exceedingly rare
specimen of femininity; but she is still
occasionally met with-notably in West
moreland boarding schools, and in farm
houses of the West.
I lament the progressive extinction of
the merry fat girl. She usually grew
up to, be jolly, comfortable matron,
with a tribe of sunny Children, all as
great romps as she had been. Her
picked walnuts were perfection. She
was one of those admirable women who
always give you something to eat when
you call upon them, and if you are
neither hungered nor athirst, insist on
your carrying away pot of preserves
or slice of bridecake with you. 1t
