Scrofulous poison is one of the most destruc,
tive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and
unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the con,
sttution, and invites the attack of enfeeblng IA
tai diseases, without exciting n suspicion of its
presence. Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develop into one other of its
hideous forms, either on the surface or among the
Yitals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly
deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed
in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptOns
on the skin, or foul alterations on some part of
the body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle
of this SdrsapariUd is advisable, even when no
active symptoms of disease appear. Persons at
hicted with the following complaints generally
find immediate relief, and at length cure, by the

hearing the uproar, ran to the room, but
finding it locked, she had to get an axe to
break it down she was terror-stricken at
the startling scene that burst on her view,
for the yells of the agonized miller were
something awful to hear. Running out
of the room, she soon returned with a
broom, with which she brushed the sweet
insects from her lord.
1t was fully week before the poor mil

The RIGHT SrUFF.-A brave Virginia
boy was appointed cadet at West Point.
He passed an admirable examination, and
was ordered to be admitted. According
to law, the test oath was to be taken, but
when offered his Virginia blood revolted.
He said that he was child during the
war, and only IL years Of age at its close,
but that he could not swear that he felt
no sympathy in cause in which all his
kindred had been engaged. The case has
excited great interest at the Point, and
strong efforts are being made to let him
in without taking the oath. Even the
New York Tribune has the courage and
the independence to say of this case
"Wc sincerely trust the young Virginian
who is debarred from admission to the
Military Academy because he declines to
swear that he had no sympathy in the re-
bellion in which his family heartily enlist
ed, will not be any longer prescribed.
The test oath which boys are called upon
to take before admission to the national
schools, is disgrace to our statute books.
The more oath-taking the more lying
there will be, and the more We prescribe
children for the rebellion Of their parents
the more that rebellion will be respected.
The administration of tho test oath to q
boy who was only twelve years old when
the war closed, and who is still minor,
is an absurdity which ought to secure the
repeal of the statute

A FISH SToRy.-The editor of western
paper has been up in the country trouting,
and is responsible for this fish story. "a
jovial old gentleman whom we met in our
travels told story (for the truth Of which
We do not vouch) to illustrate the number
of fishermen upon the streams. IA few
days ago. he said. Il was passing bridge
over Swift river, when heard my name
called. l looked around to see who spoks,
No person was in sight, and was about
to pass on, when my eye fell upon large
trout standing upon his tail in the river,
looking as though he had spoken to me.
Did you speak, Mr.. Trout? p said l. 4

is the way to Bickford's mill3' 1t is,' said
I. 'Aint there any other route ? said he.

Why do you ask /? Because the river is
so full of these fish hooks that car never
