quite close; she looks up, utters cry

Don't Tamper With a Cough.

Perhaps in the whole category of dis
eases to which humanity is susceptible,
the cough is most neglected in its early
stage. A simple cough is generally re-
garded as temporary affliction-un-
pleasant and nothing more-but to those
who have paid dearly for experience, it
is the signal of attack for the most fear
full of all diseases-Consumption- A
cough will lead to Consumption-if not
checkel-so sure as the rivulet leads TO
the riser, yet it is an easy enemy to
thwart, if met by the proper remedy. Al
TENS Lung Bdtsdm is the great cough
remedy of the age, and it has earned its
reputation by merit alone. Itcan be pro-
cured at Greene 4 Button, H. Bosworth
& Sons, Dohmen, Schmidt 4 Co. ,-And

The Battle OF the Pigs.

From the Bangor (Me.) whig, Dec 29.
The following story was related to us
by a gentleman of undoubted veracity,
who vouches for its truth. In the vii
lage of Brewer, opposite this city, two
men carry on the livery business--occu-
pying stables situated about a quarter
Of mile apart, and each owns huge
Chester hog weighing nearly 400
pounds. The other day Mr.. As hog
broke out of his pen and strayed down
upon Mr.. B. 3 premises, and the latter,
mistaking the animal for his own, drove
him into the pen under his stable. Pre-
sently he heard terrible rumpus, and
found that his own porcine had
resented the intrusion, and was giving
the hog be had turned in terrible
thrashing- Separating the combatants,
Mr.. B. drove Mr.. As hog home and
he was secured in his own domain. The
next morning Mr. b., upon going to
feed his hog, discovered him lying on
the ground in hispen utterly exhausted,
and his adversary of the previous day
industriously engaged in gnawing a
hole in his back. 1t appears that after
Mr.. A. g hog was driven home he medi-
tated upon the drubbing he had re-
ceived until he got mad all over, and,
breaking out in the night, he made his
way through the darkness to his adver-
sary's sty, smashed his way in, and pro-
ceeded to avenge his wrongs by nearly
killing his antagonist.

An Indianapolis correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial tells the
following story of a man whe In this
connection has rather a suspicious
name:
John Dye, an old and respectable
citizen of Hancock county, in this
State, has had his grave dug for sever
al years. He accomplished this work
with his own hands, excavating the
earth to proper depth, laying a stone
slab on the bottom, and walling up the
sides with brick. A similar slab is
intended to cover the grave, and, what
is singular, Mr.. Dye has scooped out of
the neither stone hollow for his body
to rest in, with an elevation in which
there is another hollow for the head.
1t is his desire that when he dies he
shall be dressed in certain specific
clothing, and that blanket shall be
laid in the tomb, upon which his re-
mains are to be laid. Another
blanket is to be spread over
him, and the large slab of stone
placed on the tomb; the earth filed in
above. 1t will be seen that he does away
with the use of coffin entirely, aud he
further requests no burial service be
used or sermon preached, and that no
monument be erected to his memory.
Recently heavy rain caved in the earth
above the tomb, and Mr.. Dye set about
repairs with yigor that was surprising
To prevent recurrence of the accident
he has walled the grave up to the sur
face of the earth, and carefully covered
it with boards and sod. The grave is
on his farm, and within a few feet of
the railroad Mr.. Dye is notyet an old
man, having barely passed three-score
He is hale and hearty, and lives in the
old tavern-stand, where the mail-wagons
in winter, and the gay stage coaches In
summer, used to stop for dinner and a
change of horses. His memory is stored
with rich Jokes and adventures of that
period, and he owes a sort of grudge to
the locomotive which has deprived him
of his entertainment aud profit.

The Mocking Bird ON a Bender.

Good temperance people will be
shocked to learn what sot-no milder
term can be used-the mocking bird
makes of himself in Florida. His spe-
cial weakness is the berry of the Pride
of China tree, upon the juice of which
be becomes as drunk as lord. A flock
of tipsy mock;ng birds is very funny
sight. They ily around in the most
somicd manner, hiccoughing and
staggering just like real men, mixing
up all sorts of bachanalian songs,
and interrupting each other in
the most impudent manner, not at
all like well behaved birds. 1t is
even said that they will fly out promis-
cuously, intrude on domestic relations,
forget the way home, and get into each
others nests and families, just like the
lords of creation. It is not improbable
that also, like the lords of creation, they
become yery penitent after the season
is gone and the yearly fnolic is over,
and that they make many good resolu-
tions, join the temperance society and
keep sober till the next season comes
around, and the berries are ripe once
more. As they are mocking" birds,
It is not out of the way to suppose that
they are only initiating men.

so young, it will be dream in your
life Oh yes, You will surely forget"
Your Majesty will forget, but L
never can and never shall"
And without letting her blush, Louis
XIV showered kisses and caresses on
the daughter of Eve who had forgotten
that unstained blood ran in her veins,
and gave herself up entirely to a dream
of love.
The hours fitted away as they only
can for lovers, and the beautiful un-
known tore herself away from the arms
of her royal lover.
"I must leave your majesty now-I
have already been too long"
"Call me Louis; and what name
shall l treasure in my heart 2"
"Alix"
"My sweet Alix, one more kiss"
My own beloved Louis, farewell Z"
"Wait, my own, only for one mo-
ment."
And the king went to a drawer, and
taking a small miniature of himself. he
presented it to the young girl.
She pressed it to her lips, and, with
q gaze In which alteration was depicted,
she threw herself once more into the
Kings arms, gave him long, passion
ate kiss, and said:
"Tm yours unto DEATH Probably
we shall never meet again, but when L
die this will be found lying on my
heart"
Once more the picture glided for
their exit. Louis took the arm of the
Pink Domino and led her to the car
riage that awaited her. There was one
more pressure of the hand, one more
farewell, and the carriage rolled away.
Alix re-entered the park and flew to
her room, but, oh, horror she found
herself confronted by her father! She
uttered loud shrek and fell senseless
to the floor. The duke raised her,
laid her on o couch, and divesting her
of her domino, and snatching the mask
off her face, he looked for few minutes
at the lovely form before him, but
without the slightest touch of tender
ness or forgiveness-her doom was
sealed
He left the apartment, and before
Alix had recovered from her fainting
fit he had returned, and wrapping her
mp in Q large cloak, he carried bis bur
den down stairs, placed her in trav-
cling carriage drawn by four horses,
sat by herside, and gave orders to the
postillions to start off.
The rapid motion of the carriage re-
called the unfortunate girl to her sens
es, and by the gray dawn of the morn
ing she met once more the naughty
and scorntul gaze Of the duke. Tremb-
hing, and almost dead with fear, she
threw herself on her knees to implore
her fathers forgiveness, but it was in
vain; he did not inquire of her doings,
but told her 10 be silent: his curse was
upon her he said, and Alix knew well
what il meant.
