why Or. schench's Medicines are
so Popular,

Why is schsnsk's Pulmonic Syrup il such
general demand? The answer is 8 very simple
one: II is in demand because its healing pro-
perties are greater than those possessed by any
other medicine in use for the cure of Consump-
ton 1t purifes the blood-ons Of the first steps
towards cur1. Without pure blood disease can
never be eradcated from the system. As well
expect water to run up hill OF its own volition as
to cure consumption without complete purid
cation OF the blood. This is the peculiar pro-
perty of DR.. Sehenck's Pulmonic Syrup. But
ii does more than this. 1t not only purifes the
blood, but it allays irritation of the bronchia
tubes. It collects and ripens the impure mat
tiers collected there, and enables the patient to
threw them Of by Painlsss expectation. This
great syrnp has another virtue. It possesses
nutritious qualities which give sustenance, and,
consequently, strength to the invalid. NV
combine these three qualities, and you have an
answer to the inquiry.
WHY is THE PULMOEIC SYRUP IN SUCH
DEMAND?
Thousands have testified il with complete sat
isfsetion; Thousands have used # and been
cured; thousands are using it and being cured.
But. DIR. Schenck has other remedies. Thereare
other agencies to be employed in the cure Of
consumption, and he has provided them.
If it be asked why Sohenck's Mandrake Pills
are popular, the question is answered as
readily as in the case of the Pulmonio Syrup.

A Story about Bees.

Many, many years ago, we lived hard
by Squire S., in the town of Blank,
Blank State, who kept dozen hives OF
bees, all of which stood on long shelves
under monstrous plane-tree that was
in the yard in front of the Squire s
house, Well, one hot day in Summer,
the old Squire was standing before his
hives, bare headed and bald headed,
with nothing on him but his shirt and
shoes and trousers, when the inhabitants
of one of the hives suddenly swarmed,
and lit upon the venerable mans pate,
which they covered in layers two or three
inches deep, making his head-piece the
most comical piece of humanity we ever
gazed upon, so that we never think of it
without laughing. The Squire was
thoroughly up to the lodges of the apes,
and so he stood still, as stiff as an iron
ramrod that had stood the inspection of
the Great Frederick. just then Mrs.
S. came to the door of the house,
and, seeing her husband in such plight,
gave the usual feminine screech in
such cases made and provided, and then
said to him, keep where you are,
while go and get the broom, to brush
'em off "I'm dead if | do y thought
the Squire. He then managed to grope
his way to large tub that he had just
previously filed with water from neigh
boring brook for rinsing purposes, and
which stood on high bench. Into this
water he dipped his head, slowly, till it
was entirely immersed, and held it there,
holding his breath at the same time, till
every bee was made sufficiently stingless
to have satisfied Mr.. Eugene Wrayburn
himself. The water swarmed with bees,
and the old gentleman swarmed into the
house with the only white face he had
worn for almost half century, and
which he never repeated till he lay in his
coffin. If, reader, you ever should be
swarmed upon, do as the Squire did, and
prove the excellency of the water cure.
If you could contrive to have the water
iced, so much the better for you-and so
much the worse for the epes.

Paris During the Siege.

A gentleman had put the first floor o
one OF his houses at tho disposition ol
refugee family. A fortnight after
wards his concierge came to tell him
that since the arrival OF the new dodgers
horrible smell pervaded the house, but
that when he attempted to enter the
apartment, with o view to discovering
the cause of these exhalations, he had
always been refused admittance. The
landlord came the next day, and the
first thing he heard, ~ he entered the
door, was the crow OF q cock perched
upon the balcony Of the first floor, which
was responded to by the cackling of
many hens. Somewhat astonished, he
went up stairs. After great deal of
trouble, the newcomer, who would not
recognize the right of the owner to come
in, opened the door. OF the ante-cham-
ber the ceuntrymsn had made farm

into rabbit warren, and contained a
large supply of provisions, in which
garlic, onions and cabbage were conspic-
uous-to the eye and to the nose. In
the next-a -room-was large foun-
tain, made ont of the bottom of wine
barrel, which served as q pond for s.ve-
raj ducks. The proprietor was stupe-
fed. He went from room TO room, fol-
lowed by the farmer, who gave one the
idea of q successful agrieulturist show

yard. "And my drawing-room :" muir

that is where the monsieur is, said the
peasant, in very elated and self-impor

the sight disclosed fairly crowned the
edifice. In corner, upon bed of very
filthy straw, lay magnificent porker,
gorged and grunting. But, you

Self Accusation.

The question of the value Of voluntary
confessions, unsupported by circum
stantial evidence, as evidence of guilt, is
getting thoroughly overhauled. Among
the precedents quoted is the case where,
in the mutiny on the frigate Hermions,
Captain Pigoot was murdered, no less
than six sailors volunteered the confess
sion that they severally struck the first
blow at Captain Pigoot. These men were
sent home from various Parts OF the
world to be tried; but 1t was demon
strated that not one of them had ever
been in the ship, or had ever seen Cap
tain Pigoot. Yet all these sailors had
given minute descriptions of the mu-
tiny, and though the men persisted in
their self-accusations, the records of the
Admiralty proved their innocence. An
other case is told where wife dying
suddenly, and in pain, the husband con-
fessed to having poisoned her. describ-
ing the process, and where he had pur-
chased the poison, and where he had
buried the portion not used. Before his
trial his whole confession was proven to
be false; no,poison was found in the body;
and all his other details were alike un-
true. He was discharged, though per-
sisting in his self-accusation. Another
case is cited where man named Harri-
son left home for neighboring village
to collect some money. Not returning,
servant named Perry was sent after him;
but Harrison was not found. Perry was
arrested; and, after strongly asserting
his innocence, he in few days unbur-
dened his oppressed conscience by a long
and detailed account of murder OF his
master by himself, his mother and
brother. Upon this confession the three
Perrys were executed. Two years later,
Harrison, the supposed murdered man,

UnciaAnlIMess and Denth.

The defamation the city Of Bucnos
Ayres has experienced is an awful lesson
on the necessity Of preventing filthy ac-
cumulati0ns. The Ndcion, of that city,
says that the cause of The almost unpar-
allied afiliction that has fallen upon them
is entirely owing to the observance
Of this necessary municipal law. Ac-
cording to that paper the city stands up
on mass of corruption, the collections of
years Ignorance and Incidence have
left the scavengering entirely to the dog
and turkey buzzard, but the agglomora-
ton has gone on hey the power of
dog or buzzard. Drainage il unknown,
and the subterranean currents of water
were consequently poisoned by the infil-
tration of water closets and the filth
abounding all through the city. Ine-
qualities of surface have been filled up
by filth and garbage, and ultimately be-
came the sites of dwellings and streets.
The semi,tropical position of the city
only required these places to be slightly
inundated to emit the seeds of deadly
epidemic. And 30 it proved, as the
scourge followed exactly the line and
sinuosities of the houses and streets thus
located. The same culpable neglect of
hygenic laws produced equally fatal con
sequences in Corrientes. The inequali-
ties having been filed up from the same
source, that city is now surrounded with
an underground of fetid death dealing
corruption, and consequently the fever
has ragged there in all its terrors fifty
persons having died daily out of the
three thousand who failed to leave the
circle of its influence. The authorities
of Buenos Ayres, thus rudely walked
from their lethargy, have endeavored to
get rid of the noxious filth, and three
tons daily have been carried
away. 1t is estimated that the quantity
still remaining amounts to at least co.
600 tons, aud that "Buenos Ayres is
built upon it," As showing the deadly
character of the substratum upon which
the'city rests, two men who were engaged
ed in clearing away the refuse came up
on an abandoned well, and so virnlcnt
were the gases emitted on the first blow
of the pick, that both were instantly suf-
located. No wonder. with such hot
bed of death all around, that the disease
set at defiance all medicinal efforts.
Medical science must be impotent while
such teeming mass of corruption un-
derlies every house. 1t is surprising
the city was not depopulated years ago.
So studied disregard of ordinary pru-
dence was certain, sooner or later, to re-
suit perniciously, and the awful lesson
the city of "Good Air" has received
will not be soon forgotten. If it impels
the inhabitants to closer attention to
hygenic principles, the recent infiction,
terrible as it was, may not prove alto
yether an unmerciful chastisement.

For though my rosebud, thrilling into life,
Kissed by the love-besms OF the glowing
sun,
Meets his fond gaze with her pure. tender

Filled with the rapture Of a glad surprise
That from his light her glory shall be won;
Yet, when into her very heart he sighs,
Behold! she puts away her lifc-and dos.

Because to mo but little jov has come

For though the perfumed seasons como and

The Spring birds warble, cen the rivers flow
To meet some love that to their own doth
run,
My bud of love had bloomed for other eyes,
And am loft sorrow and to sighs.

For from our love we gather all lifc's pain,
And place too oft our hearts on earthly

Where we would knecl-but where, alas we

Then-if we may not turn our hearts above

A W edding in a Ligh thOuse.

A Toledo (Ohio) paper tells the story
of a romantic wedding in a lighthouse
on Turtle Island. Mrs. Edison has been
the keeper of the lighthouse since the
death of her husband, two years ago,
and last week she was married to young
man named Burrows, who had been EN-.
plOyed as her assistant. The wedding
party Of invited guests left Toledo or
Thursday, and the trip was very pleas.
ant until the party reached the vicinity
of the island, when they were struck by
a squall, were drenched with rain, and
had rough time generally. Mr.. Bur
rows watched the party from the island,
and throwing off his wedding clothes
and donning his working suit, put off in
his boat to their assistance He was
thrown back by the rough sea, and came
out of the struggle with skinned nose
and bruised face. He made second
attempt, reached the tug, and transfer
red the drenched wedding guests, two
by two, to the Island, where they were
received by Mrs. Edison in manner at
once cordial and earnest.
The scene during the gale, and while
the party was still on the tug, was very
exciting. General Slevins' hat went off
with the first puff, umbrellas and para
soils were turned wrong side out in a
whirl, and the awning broke loose from
its fastenings, swept the deck, where the
cake and wedding delicacies were going
TO destruction. Some man went to the
rescue. however, and his daring was re-
paid by vote of thanks from the ladies,
who were willing to sacrifice their bon
nets rather than that cake.
At last Mr. Burrows had all his guests
on shore, and made himself ready for the
ceremony. He remarked as an intro
ductory that he had been round the
world twice, that he had met many wo-
men, but had never loved until he met
the lady soon to be his wife. There I'M
der the light, in sight of the scene of her
heroic struggle to save one man who
called her wife, Mrs. Edison became
Mrs. Burrows, and received the con-
gratulations of friends.
After an entertainment, in which the
rescued wedding cake, and attendant
fixtures played an important part, and
after family prayer, in which the divine
blessing was asked on the newly welded
couple, the guests returned to the city.

RESIGNED TO HIS FATE-An Albanian
named Francis has been particularly un.
fortunate in his marital relations. His
first wife killed herself thirty-four years
ago nine years after his second spouse
ran away from him, and died of destitu.
tion in Illinois six years later his third
consort was drowned. In 1858, his fourth
helpmate was killed, and he, having been
convicted of the murder, was sent to
prison for life, but was pardoned out
In another decade the fifth partner OF
his bosom mysteriously disappeared, and
very recently the sixth welded idol Of
his soul sought peace and oblivion by
hanging herself to bedpost The &C
emulation Of years and experience hav-
ing made Francis philosopher, he bears
his connubial bereavements with Sorti-
tude and resignation,
