Muggins' Porter.

Muggins had sharp porter. This
chap returned from the post-ofice the
other day with Muggins' papers, and in
formed that individual that there was q
letter in the post-ofice that he couldn't
get
Couldn't get it why couldn't you get
it, you stupid?"
"There's five cents to pay on it."
"Why didn't you pay for it?' asked
Muggins, with indignation.
81 hadn't cents enough !" replied the
urchin, grinning archly.
"You fool" said Muggins, storming;
"here, take this Eve cents and get that
letter in little less than no time r.
"No use, I tell 'you," replied the fell
low, "they won't let me have it."
"The dickens they won't-I'd like to
know the reason 2"
Because replied the fellow, looking
back to see that the door was open, "be-
cause the letter aoasn't for goa r.
The chap reiterated from the room sud-
nenly, while an ink-stand followed his
noggin at a rushing speed.

Woman's Grave.

We can pass by the tomb of man with
somewhat Of calm indifference, but when
we survey the grave of female, a sigh in
voluntarily escapes us.
With the holy name Of woman, we as
sociate every soft, tender and delicate af-
lection. We think Of her as the young
and bashful virgin, with eyes sparkling,
and cheeks crimsoned with each impas-
stoned feeling of the heart as the chaste
and virtuous matron, tried with the fol-
lies of the world, and preparing for the
grave to which she must soon descend
There is something in contemplating the
character of woman that raises the soul
far above the level of society. She is
formed to adorn and humanize mankind,
to soothe his cares and strew his path
with flowers. In the hour of distress she
is the rock on which he leans for support,
and when fate calls him from existence
her tears bedew his grave. Can you look
upon her tomb without emotion? Man
has always Justice done to his memory;
woman never. The pages of history lie
open to one; but the meek and unobtru-
sive excellence of the other sleep with her
unuoticed in the grave. In her may
have shown the genius Of poet with the
virtues of a saint. She, too, may have
passed along the sterile path Of existence,
and felt for others as we now feel for
her.

There was star at yester even
Lit up the western sky;
It's radiance lit on every heart,
Me deemed it meier could die.
1t twinkled on from morn to even,
Forever bright as aye;
No sun was needed when it rose,
Nor dimmed its radiance there.
Me deemed this star so very bright,
More rare than all its kind;
That every virtue gave it light
That e'er on earth we find.
But this like other dreams was vain,
1t faded from my sight
Just when l worshipped at its shrine,
And felt my spirit light.
IT'S thus, I said, with earthly dreams,
Too bright they are to last;
And thus from earthly vision, now,
My beauteous star had passed.

The Last Day Of Summer.
BY LAURA A. NJ.
The last day of Summer
Is faded and gone,
We bid it adieu
\ With sigh and moan.
It's fled, ah forever
It's stay was so brief;
1t brought at its ending
No scene of.relief.
Now Autumn approaches,
With its rich golden fruit,
But we hail it in silence,
All voices are mute
There is.a dark cloud of sadness,
Of indispensable gloom,
That envelopes our country,
And each once happy home.

A Moorish Legend.

A Moorish Legend.
A Spanish Moor, being on the eve of
setting out on pilgrimage to Mecca, in
trusted his money to man who had hith-
erto borne reputation Of uublemished
probity. His fortune consisted of two
thousand pesants. On his return he was
not little surprised when the reputed
honest man denied all knowledge Of him
or his money. The pilgrim entered a
complaint against him, entreated the
judge to help him to his property, and
took his oath on the truth of his state
ment-but all in vain The old mans
good name outweighed all he could say;
the plaintiff was non-suited, and went
away in despair. Presently he met an
old woman, who was toddling along with
the help of a staff. Touched by the
strangers grief, she stopped him, hailed
him in Allah's name, babe him take
heart, and listened to his unvarnished
tale.
'Be of good cheer, young man." said
she; "may-be, with Allah's aid | shall
get back your gold. Do you buy chest,
and I'll it with sand or mould; only let it
be bound with iron and we'll looked
Then choose three or four discreet men,
and come to me. We shall succeed, never
fear"
The Spanish Moor followed her advice
punctually. lie came with four friends,
bringing chest which the strongest por-
tiers could scarcely drag along.
"Now follow me-" said the old woman.
On reaching the floor of the supposed
honest man, she went in with the Span
iard's four friends, bidding the latter wait
below, and not make his appearance until
the chest had been carried up stairs
She now stood in the presence of the n.y.
pocrite, where she introduced her four
companions.
Behold" said she, "here are some
honest Spaniards, about to make a pill
grimage to Egypt. Their treasures are
boundless. They possess, among other
things, ten chests Of gold and silver, that
they know not where to stow away at
present. They would entrust Thorn to
safe hands for time so I, we'll knowing
your honesty and unsullied reputation,
have brought them hither. Pray fulfil
their wishes" Meanwhile she had the
heavy chest brought in, which the pre-
tended honest man gloated over with
greedy looks. But just then the despoil-
ed pilgrim rushed in, impetuously claim
ing back his two thousand pesants. Ihe
faithless depositary was frightened lest
the young man should reproach him
with his treachery in the presence Of
strangers, who would then take their
chest with its untold treasures, which he
had already determined to appropriate to
himself.
"Be welcome ~ he cried to the Moor.
81 was almost fearing you would never
come back, and was puzzled what I should
do with the two thousand pesants. Allah
be praised, who has brought you back
safe! Here is what belongs to you"
b The Spanish Moor went away with his
treasure as triumphant as though he were
carrying off 50 much booty. The old
woman begged the master Of the house to
put this first chest in a safe place, while
she went and ordered the rest to be sent.
She then went off with her four.compan-
ions, and Of course never returned.

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bincd from the most active remedials that have

disorder from the blood, and the rescue Of the
system from it's destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for tho cure OK

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

IN disease on any part Of 1t. No organ Is free
from its attacks, nor Is there one which II may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mereurial disease low living, dis-
ordered or unhealthy food impure air, 6lth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and
above ali. by the venercai infection. What

Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, In
the lungs, liver and internal organs, is termed
tubercles in the glands, sw0llings; and on
tho surface, erupuons or sores, This foul cor"
ruption, which gos1ders in the blood, depressss

plants, bat they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofilous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise FROM or
are aggravated by the same cause.
