That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. PreCention
is better than euro, for tho 'patient escapes
the risk which no must run in violent attacks
Of this balefui distemper. This iCOnE'' cx-
pels the miasmatic poison OF FEVER AND
AGuE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, if taken on the
first approach OF its premonitory symptoms
1t is not only the best remedy over yet disco
vered for this class of complaints, but also
the cheapest. The largo quantity VIC su rp!y
for a dollar brings it within the reach ot
everybody; and i'll bilious districts, whore
FEVER AND AoUE prevails, everybody should
have it. and uso it freely both for cure and
protection. 1t ia hoped this price will place
it within the reach of all--the poor ns well az
the rich. great superiority OF this remedy
over any other ever discovered for tho speedy
and certain euro of Intcrmittents is, that it
contains no Quinine or mineral; consequently
it produces no quinirm or other injurious ef-
fects whatever upon the constitution. Those
cured by it are lett ae healthy as il they had
never had the disease.

to immigrants and persons travelling or tcn-

If taken occasionally or daily while exposed
to the infection, that will be excrctcd from the

even moro valuable for protection than cure;

For Liver Complaints, arising from tor

a most touching instance Of heroism,
and ono Of tho most atrocious acts of
cruelty, the truth (which is vouched for
by the most respectable authority, occur
red during the Columbian struggle for
independence.
The Spanish general Morillo, the mos
blood. thirsty and treacherous tool of the
Spanish king, was created Count Of Car
thagenia and Marquis of de la Peoria, for
services which rather entitled him to be
butcher or hangman. While seated in
his tent one day he saw young boy be-
foro him in tears. The chief demanded
OF him for what purpose he was there.
The child replied that he had come to
beg the life of his ather then prisoner
in Morillo camp.
"What can you do to save your faith
?" asked the general.
81 can do but little, but what can do
shall br DONE"
Morillo seized the little fellows ear
and said
"Would you suffer your ear to be taken
of to procure your fathers life ?"
81 certainly would" was the undaunt-
ed reply
A soldier was accordingly called, and
ordered to cut off the ear with a single
stroke of the knife.
The boy wept, but did not resist while
the barbarous order was executed.
"Would you lose your other ear rather
than fail in your purpose ?" was the next
question asked,
| have suffered much, but for my faith
or can suffer still" was the answer OF
the boy.
The other ear was taken off by piece
meal, without hinching on the part of the
noble boy.
"And now go" exclaimed the tyrapt,
untouched by such sublime heroism the
father of such son must die"
In the presence Of his agonized and
vainly suffering son the patriot father was
executed.

How he Decided.

A poor Turkish slater, OF Constant. d.
nople, being at work upon the roof of E
house, lost his footing and fell into the
narrow street upon a man who chanced
to be passing at the time. The pedes-
trian was killed by the conclusion, while
the slater escaped without material in
jury.
A son OF the deceased caused the slat-
er to be arrested and brought before the
Cadi, where he made the most grave
charge, and claimed ample redress.
The Cadi listened attentively, and in
the end asked the slater what he had to
say in his defence
dispenser Of Justice" answered the
accused. in humble mood, "it is even as
this man says but God forbid that there
shou+i b. evil iu my iieart. am poor

The son Of the man who had been
killed thereupon demanded that condign
punishment should be inflicted upon the
accused.

and finally said
at shall be so.
Then to the slater he coDtinued,-
"Thou shalt stand in the street where
the father of this man stood when thou

WALRUs HUNTING.-Probably not
less than fifty thousand walrus, with
their young, were killed and destroyed
last year by our arctic whalemen.
Three fourths of the fleet were engag
ed in the business, but the walrus had
gone far into the ice, and they did not
10 so we'll. The arctic walrus, says
the New Bedford Nercury, ''never
torsake their young, but will take them
IN their aippers and hold them to their
breasts, even when their destroyer
are putting their sharp lances through
and through them and the blood is
streaming from every side, uttering
the most heartrending and piteous
cries until they die. The walrus av-
erages about twenty gallons of oil and
four pounds of ivory But the worst
feature Of the business is that the
natives of the entire arctic shore are
now almost entirely dependent upon
the walrus for their food, clothing,
boots, and dwellings. Twenty years
ago whales were plenty and easily
caught; but they have been driven
north, so that now the natives seldom
get a whale. This is a sad state OF
things for them. The question now Is,
shall our whalemen keep on taking the
walrus, and eventually starve and de.
populate these arctic shores? 1t will
certainly come to that soon."
