The AFRICAN JUDGE.-Alexander, of Ma
cedonia, came, one day, to distant province
OF Africa, rich in gold. The inhabitants went
to meet him, carrying baskets full of gold
and fruit
Do you eat these fruits ?" said Alexan-
ander; . am not come to view your riches.
but to learn your customs"
So they led him to the market, where their
chief judge held his court Just then citi-
izen stepped forth and said: 90, Judge ]
bought of this man q sack full of chaff, and
have found in it considerable treasure. The
chaff is mine but not the gold and this man
will not take it back. Speak to him, o
Judge, for it is his"
His adversary, also a citizen Of the place,
answered, 'sThou art afraid lest thou
should'st retain something wrong, and all o
fear to take it from thee. / sold thee this
sack. including all that it contains. Keep
thine own. Speak to him to this effect, .
Judgei"
The judge asked the first if he had son.
He answered, Yes" He asked the other
if he had daughter, and was also answered
Yes" Friends" said the judge, you
are both honest people unite your children
to each other, and give them the newly
found treasure for a marriage dover. This
is my decision"
Alexander was astonished when he heard
the sentence.
Have judged unrighteously," said the
Judge, "that thou art thus astonished?'
"By no MEANS" answered Alexander I;
"but in our country it would have boen
otherwise"
"And how ~ inquired the African Judge.
"The disputants." replied Alexander,
would have lost their heads, and the
treasure would have gone into the hands of
the King"
The Judge smote his hands together and
said, Does the sun shine with you, and
does heaven drop rain upon you?"
Alexander answered Z" Yes"
"Then must it be-" he pursued, "on ac-
count of the innocent animals that dwell in
your land for over such men ought no sun
to shine, no heaven to rain."

THE TRUNDLE Bed The balmiest sleep
we ever experienced was when we were nest
ling in the old trundle bed with curly
headed brother just turned out of the parent
nest to make room for new customer. But
trundle bed dreams were soon at an end for
when the next customer came we were
crowded out of the trundle bed to make room
for the next that was turned out of the parent
nest, and SO they kept alternating for years
until we were fairly turned out into the
world Oh ! where are the little heads that
we have kissed thousand times o'er as they
nestled in the old trundle bed =? Some of
them have grown old and gray, and others
are resting upon their everlasting pillows in
widely separated lands. We are alwaps sad
when we think of the old trundle bed.

Read the Following:
A Case of Gleet and Structure.

DR.. HoHERTY Dear Sir: feel my health so
fully restored, that, in common gratitude believe
1 should make some written acknowledgment for
your valuable services-particuarly so as your fee
was small for the work performed. l arrived in
this city from the East about one year ago, and
was then suffering from old case of Gleet COM
plicated with structure. Being stranger in this
city, and believing those doctors who gave such
positive assurances Of success necessarily the
best (some of whom have large number of titles, }
I placed myself in their charge and continued un-
der their treatment until had lost nearly all hope
and considerable sum of money. 1 wish to say
that you the sixth doctor 1 have en-
ployed, and the only who has done me
any service. My elect is wholly cured, the stric-
ture is all removed, and my general health is bet
ter than it has been for years. In conclusion
would say to the many unfortunates who require
pedical advice, if you have any doubt as to whom
you should employ, ask DR.. Doherty for my address
and cell and see me, II keep store in this city,
My experience may save you many dollars
would also add that, in the early stage of my dis
case used a large amount of the preparations
advertised as infalibe cure for Gonorrh@a
elect, etc., but never derived any benefit from
them. 1 am, Doctor, very truly yours, III

Seminal Weakness.-A sworn to Certificate
of most remarkable cure of Spermatorrhea
A desire to benefit humanity, and feeling of
gratitude to DIR. W. X. D0HERTY, alone induces
me to make this statement. For many years had
Spermatorrhea," or seminal weakness, the result
Of elfabuse, but till 1855 experienced but little
trouble or inconvenience in that year, however,
had seminal weakness to fearful extent, which
was followed by the most alarming symp-
toms, as weakness of the back and limbs, pain in
the head, dimness Of vision, nervousness and gen.
eral debility. My mind too, was affected to such
an extent as to seriously impair my memory, my
ideas were confused and spirits depressed. | was
averse to society, had evil forebodings and self
distrust, and was entirely untitled for any of the
duties of life. From 1855 to the summer of 1868
l employed the very best medical talent could
find, and spent several hundred dollars but in nc
instance obtained more than temporary relief. ]
had about concluded there was no relief for me in
this world but reading DR.. Doherty's advertisement
l thought should call and see him, as he charged
nothing for consultation. / had an interview with
the Doctor at his Office, in Sacramento street, and
his fee for treatment was so reasonable, deter
mined to try him, though 1 did not expect much
benefit from his treatment. On the 5th day o
December last, placed myself under his care; in
one week found myself very much improved and
now, after FIVE weeks treatment feel myself tho
roughly cured Of all my troubles and in the enjoy
ment of the best of health. Hoping that my expe
rence may be of benefit to others similarly afflicted

A sharp lawyer, having obtained judg-

Brazil, gave orders to levy on freight train.
Accordingly, on Tuesday night, the Sheriff
of Clay county approached the freight train
on the Brazil switch, and passing log chain
through the driving wheel of the locomotive,
locked it to the track. Superintendent Ped
die telegraPhed to attach instead lot of pig
iron at the depot, more than enough to
satisfy the small claim, until the matter
could be arranged; but no, he was ordered
to take a train, and nothing less than a
whole train would answer the writ in the
Sheriff's hands. The trouble was arranged
and the train was unlocked and allowed 10
