Enthusiastically asked jack tar once, at
the time of the new mo2n, what was done with
all the old moons? Whereunto jack replied, that
they were hammered into stars. Somebody asked
Horace Greeley what caused the last eclipse?
Whereuuto Horace replied, that the man in the
moon was becoming a black republican Bnt
that's humbug, like all the other humbugs with
which that moon-struck maniac torments the
world. The true state OF the case is, the moon is
q pawn. brokers' shop, and that betimes it gets a
lick from some of the other big balls that keep
whirling through the sky like rocks in a rock
battle and some of the gliding gets knocked of,
and that part looks black, of course, until the
man of the moon gilds it again. Be this as it
may, we only mea to draw attention to the gild.

B. Heath, which are to he sold next week. and

EvE.-Geographers are as big fools as philoso.
phers-just as big. Only think of their pretending
to demonstrate to a certainty where Paradise was,
as if the big shower called The Flood" didn't
wipe out all trace OF the whole concern except
men, apples, women, and Satan. Some of these
stupid geographers have the assurance to say that
Paradise was located on the junction of the Eu
pirates ard Tigris. We know better 1t was in
Old Virginia, somewhere about Rockets or
Butchertown, or more probably Nansemond or
Isle of Wight county, for apples are abundant
there ana Eve couldn't have lived, or died either
except in an apple growing country.
Poor Eve! Beautiful az a Paradise morning,
innocent as the sweet flowers that grew around
her, and with destiny before her grand as the
Godhead could make-the devil lbad luck to him)
wouldn't let her alone; and so she ate an apple,
played the mischief with Adam, poor fellow and
then disappeared, God only knows where. For
that reason we abhor apples, unless, indeed, they
be very good, like the seventy barrels Reins, on
the Basin bank, has for sale. Read his advertise
ment.

practice, and go to scattering some Of these
medicines throughout the country For two
years or more he has been doing this, and

before in such enterprises.
Some Of these remedies are advertised in
our paper; but that is neither here nor there

We were in town on the Wabash, and had
occasion to prescribe one of these remedies

three drug stores in the place, and each OF
them had had the remedy, but was out, and
had ordered more. They told us that the
remedy was very popular and that they could
hardly keep supply, it went off so rapidly.
We have spoken Of this remedy before-hsv-

merous cases during the past year, and with
perfect success in every instance. And so II
