his only occupation had been hanging around

discussion-th idea of the first Nasby letter

A Living Escadiess Child.

The Deposit On. " Courier is responsible
for the following marvellous story;
SIN the vicinity of Spoon river, in Illinois,
is a child that was born and has lived five
years without head. Mrs. -, the
mother, is the widow of soldier, formerly
living in Marshall county, who enlisted in
the Sixty ilth or Scotch regiment, and was
killed at the battle of Devington, BIO. She
was standing beside her husband during the
engagement, when cannon ball carried his
head completely away, his body falling into
her arms, and covering her with blood. The
shock affected he: greatly. When her child
was born there was not the sem blance Of q
head about it. The limbs are perfectly de-
veloped, the arms long, and the shoulders,
where the head and neck should be, smooth
ly rounded Off
"But the most surprising thing of all is
that the face is situated in the breast. OF
course, there being no neck, the power of
turning its head is wanting, except as the
whole body is moved ! but this difficulty is
overcome 10y the singular faculty it possesses
of turning its eyes in their sockets, enabling
it to see quite as we'll on either side as those
more perfectly formed. The upper portion
of its body is white as the purest Caucasian
from the waist downward is blood red. Thit
strange creature, now an active boy of five
years old, as if to compensate for his deformi
ty, possesses the mCst clear and bird like
tones ever listened to, singing with singular
correctness everything it may hear, and it
voice at this early age accompliShes two
octaves easily"

taken from sleep is an hour gained. To act
on the presumption that the smallest room
the house is large enough to sleep in. To
argue that whatever remedy causes one to

it may be done in your case with impunity.
To advise another to take remedy which
you have tried yourself, without making in

continue after it has been satisfied merely TO

expense of whole night of disturbed sleep,
and weary waking in the morning.
