A lER'S CATHARTIC PILLS,
For all the purposes Of a Ldratiue
Me6icine.

Perhaps no medicine is so universally required
by everybody eathartic. nor was ever any before
SO adopted into use in every country and
among all classes this mild but efficient purgatye
Pill The obvious reason is that il is more reliable
and far more efectual remedy than any other Those

who have not know that il their neighbors and
friends and all know that what it does once il does
alwaysthat il never fails through any fault or neg
lect OF its composition. We have thousands upon
thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures
of the following complaints, but such cures are
known in every neighborhood, and we need not pub
llsh them. Adapted TO all ages and coalitions in all
climates containing neither calomel any deleter
ous drug, they may be taken with safety by any
body Their sugar coating preserves then ever fresh
and makes them pleasant to take while being pure
ly vegetable harm can arise from their use in any
QGantity,
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal yiseera to purify the blood and stimulate it
into healthy actiou-remoye the obstructons Of the
stomach, bowels liver, and other organs of the body,
restoring their irregular action to health and by

For the Bellows Falls Times,
Our Hattie.

BY FYsHTLL THOMPSON.
Our Hattie is little girl
A merry, laughing mics,
With fiaxen curls, black sparkling ey es.
And lips just made to kiss.
One afternoon not long ago,
While sitting on my knee.
She threw her arms around my neck,
And cried, What friends we be-
when 1 am old enough to sew,
And make an apple pie.
And wear long dresses, then I'll be
Your little wife. wontI?"
No." replied, that cannot be,
For I'm most forty-two."
"Oh well" she said when I'm grown up
I'll be as old as you"
Our Hattie loves her Saviour too;
And when she kneels to pray,
She asks her mother with a smile,
Have been good to-day?"
If any naughty little word
Has passed those rosy lips,
Or any little naughty act
Has soiled those finger tips,
Her mother tells her. Then she prays:
Jesus forgive again.
Bless pa and ma. and all my folks,
and make me good,-amen."

BLEEDING rRnd THE NosE.-Some
two wears ago Shile going down Broad
way in New 1 ork, blood commenced run
ming fro- my nose quite freely. l step
ped s.de and applied my handkerchief,
irending to repair to the nearest hotel,
when gentleman accosted me, saying:
" Just put piece of paper in your
mouth, chew it rapidly, and it will stop
your nose bleeding" Thanking him
rather doubtfully, ! did as he suggested,
and the flow of blood ceased almost i'm
mediately. I have seen the remedy tried
since quite frequently, and always with
success. Doubtless any substance would
answer the same purpose as paper, the
stoppage of the flow Of blood being caus.
ed doubtless by the rapid motion of the
jaws, and the counter action of the mus
cles and arteries connecting the jaws and
nose.
Physicians say that placing a small
roll of paper or muslin above the front
teeth, under the upper lip, and pressing
hard on the same will arrest bleeding
from the nose-checking the passage of
blood through the arteries leading to the
nose.

IRISH BULLs.-It was an Irishman
who wrote to his son in the " ould coun.
thry," "Come till Ameriky, Mike. IT'S
fine counthry to get living in. All
ye have to do is get three cornered box
and fill it wild bricks, and carry it till
the top of a three story building, and
the man at the top does all the work"
1t was another of the same nationality,
who hearing that his widowed mother
had married again since he Quilted Ire-
land, exclaimed, -" Murther! I hope
she won't have son oulder than me if
she does / shall lose the estate.''
Singularly confused ideas must the son
of Erin have of death, for it is related
of one whose master had died suddenly,
leaving letter ready for mail, that he
dispatched it after adding at the bottom;
Since writing the above have died."
of still another who wished to inform a
friend in neighboring town of the death
of fellow workman, that he sent dis

Insects as Food.

Nor does man refuse to use insects as
food. Even we, highly civilized as we
are, do not reject the lobster, the crab,
or the shrimp, which, though not strict
ly insects, are only artibUlate animals,
and until recently were classed with in
sects by our best entOmOlOgists. Now
the Arab would be disguised to see us
feasting on lobster salad; yet he finds
great delight in masticating a locust.
In both the Indies, epicUres eat the grub
of the palm weevil, which is as large as
our thumb; and the ancient Greeks are
mentioned by Hlian, as esteeming a
roasted grub very delicious food.
LOcuStS are an article of food in many
parts of the world. The EthiOpians
were called locust eaters on this account
by the Romans. The Arabs make them
into bread, first grinding or pOwdering
them and then mixing them with the
flour. They not unfrequently eat them
boiled or steWed. The HOttentOts es-
TEEN them highly and grow fat on them.
They all make their eggs into soup.
Their traditions teach them that they
are indebted to some great cOnjurOr for
the coming of the locust. He lives a
long way nOrthward, they say, and re-
moves a huge stone from the mouth of a
and fly to them for food. The MOOTs of
Barbary prefer lOcusts to pigeons.
The Chinese, who cannot afford to
waste any edible thing, cook and eat
the chrysalis of the silk worm, and the
laTva of the hawk moth. The caterpil-
lars of butterflies are eaten by the ma
tives of New Holland, and also the body
of butterfly called BugOng.
Ants have their place with articles of
human diet. HOttentOts eat them both
raw and boiled. The East Indies mix
them with flour and convert them into
a popular pastry. In Sweden ants are
used to flavor brandy.
In CeylOn bees are used for food. In
New Caledonia the people eat a large
spider, esteeming it a luxury. 1t is re-
corded that Anna Maria Schuremen
used to eat them like nuts, and declare
they were not unlike that fruit in their
taste. Lalande, the celebrated astrOno-
mer was equally fond of these delicacies:
and ROsel knew a German who spread
them on his bread like butter Hum
bOldt caps the climax of these edible
mOnstrOsities, assuring us that he has
seen Indian children drag centipedes,
eighteen inches long and more than
half an inch broad, from their holes
and devOUr them.
While these curious facts illustrate the
adage that there is no accounting for
tastes, they also show that insects are
useful as food for man, and that, i'm
great eXtremities, he might be saved
from destruction by placing them
among his articles of diet.-Dr. Wise,

a LAWYER built him an Office IN the
form of a hsXagOn. The novelty Of the
structure attracted the attention of some
Irishmen who were passing by. They
made a full stop and examined the build
ing very critically. The lawyer some

the window, put his head out and ad-
dressed them

Nancy was silent. But the end was
not yet.
After the haying had bsen done, Mr..
Deepwater and his wife called over and
took tea, and spent the evening with Ti-
tus and Nancy.
In the course of conversation Prudence
told Nancy many new things which she
had learned Of household mysteries,
while Mr.. DeepWater talked to his host
of the great improvements which were
in agriculture. And Titus was interest
ed in spite of himself, though he tried
to appear otherwise.
by the way, Titus said John Deep

get ready too sell your wool, think I
can recommend you to a good market

Goodness mercy, Titus You didn't
sell your whole clip at that price?'
'Y-e-e-s. Why?
'Wby9--Why?- wool like yours is
worth fOrty-five cents, and twas author
lied by Mr.. Fairmau to offer you that
price for your clip. You must have had

Yes said Titus, gaspingly, 4 sold

But didn't you know that wool had

No, Mr.. Saddler said thirty cents was

Mr.. Saddler deceived you. But you
should have watched the market reports.
Didn't you notice them in the paper -
I-I-dOn't take no paper
I declare, Titus, I am sorry for yOu.-
But it can't be helped now.
Dir. Deepwater saw how badly his
friend was feeling, and he said no more.

institutions of the age.

And even flowers themselves present us
with none of those wonderful designs,
those complicated arrangements Of str1-
pes and dots and patches of color, that
harmonious blending Ofhues in lines and
bands and shaded spots, which are so
general a feature in insects.
It is the opinion of Mr.. DAVIS that we
owe much of the beauty of flowers to the
necessity of attracting insects to aid in
their fertilization, and that much of the
development of color in the animal
world is due to sexual selection color
being universally attractive, and thus
leading to propagation and increase ;
but while fully admitting this, it will be
evident from the facts and arguments
here brought forward, that very much
of the UdrieLy both of color and rankings
among animals, is due to the supreme
Importance of cOncealment, and thus
the various tints of minerals and vege
tables have been directly reproduced in
the animal kingdom, and again
modified as more special protection be-
came necessary. We shall thus have
two causes for the development of color
in the animal world, and shall be better
enable to understand how, by their COM
bined and separate action, the immense
variety we now can behold has been
produced. Both causes, however, will
come under the general law of utility,
The advocacy of which in its brOadest
sense, we owe almost entirely to Mr..
Darwin.
a more accurate knowledge of the
varied phenomena connected with this
subject may not ImprObably give us
some information both as to the senses
and the mental faculties of the lower
animals. For it is evident that if cOlOrs
which please US attract them, and if the
various disguises which have been here
enumerated are equally deceptive to
them as to ourselves, then both their
powers of vision and their faculties Of
perception and emotion, is essentially
of the same nature as our. Own-a fact
of high philosophical Importance in the
study Of our own nature and our true
relations to the lower animals IHdL-
lace on Natural Selection.
