what Arc Theve

One day as was returning to Tallahassee
from hunting excur ion in Florida saws a
recent traveller, we were rowing along by the
shore about sunset, when Suddenly strange,
grave, and prolonged sound struck my ear
Al first thought it must be drone, or fiy OF
extraordinary magnitude; but seeing moth
ing, questioned my guide as to what it
could be- "Oh, massa, dat is de fish what
sings. Some call it siren, or mermaid fish,
anu others musico." A little way on we
heard greater chorus of these strange
voices, reminding me family of the music Of
church organs. stopped the canoe, the bet
Ter to study this strange phenomenon when,
at my request, my sable oarsman threw a net
into the water, and soon laid at the bottom OF
the bat about score of little fish, each
about ten inches long, resembling the gray
mullet very closely i'll outward form. "Dese
be mermaids, massa but in de name OBJ heb
ben, don't eat dem." "Why not?0 quoth 1.
Because they hab de lub poison" club
poison And pray what's that?" eyes,
massa; when Ou eat one OBJ desc fish, you
fall so deep in lub you can never get out
again" ! tried to laugh my black friend out
OF his notion, but in VAIN. In spite of what
he SAID, however, had my musicos fried that
evening, and found as | expected, that | was
none the worse for the experiment. The
musician fish is white, with few blue spots
near the belly. 1t is about sunset when these
flsh begin to sing, and they continue their
music during the night, Initiating the grand
and sonorous droning OF an organ, Just as it
reaches your ear when you stand outside a
church.

Speedy Cure of Whooping Cough

am not in the habit of taking advertised medi-
cnes, OF certifying to their curative effects when
they come under my observation, bnt | feel con-
strained to make an exception in lavor OF DoDD's
NERvINE and Invgorator, medicine 1 have used
in my family for some time past My little daughter
had been suffering from severe whooping cough for
several weeks, and was much broken OF rest at
night that-by excessive coughing and loss Of sleep
her constitution and general health seemed to be
giving away. Various remedies or paIliatiyes were
recommended by intimate neighbors, but nothing
was tried until our attention called by physi-
clan not now in practice to Dodds Nervie, This we
procured and commenced using at once-with an eff
feet immediate and surprising. As the convulsions
were hardest at night, we began by giving the Ner-
vine on her going to bed The first dose administer
ed made its impression; the cough became less fire.
quent and very much less severe, she soon got her
accustomed sleep, rapidly revived in health and
vigor, and in few days was as well as ever. What
left of the whooping cough thereafter of no
trouble OF course cannot but consider Dodd's
Nervine and Invigorator an invaluable romedy for
this distressing malady. / may add that have
since recommended it to several family friends, in
like circumstances, and have found it in every case
to be equally successful 1t needs only to be known
to come into universal demand.

MARRYING AND UNMARRYING,-Th Lib
eral Christian very truly says:

eIaI OHIISt1dH very Truly says:
1t is not in the facility with which people
get divorced, but in the facility with which
they get married, that the mischief inheres.
1t is not the unmarrying-the marrying
without proper consideration, marrying from
wrong motives, with false views and unbound
ed expectations, marrying without knowing
who or what that causes all the disturb
ance. And there is altogether too much oil
such marrying. When man and woman
marry all over and clean through. every fac
ulty and sentiment of each finding its com
plement and counterpart m the other, separ-
alton is impossible. But when they are only
halt married, when only third part of them
is married, when they are married only in
their instincts, or their imaginations, or their
fortunes, the unmarried part of both is very
apt to get uneasy and they find Bed
lam where they look for Elysium.
