ed by their timely
use; and every family should have them on hand
Tor their protection and relief, when required.
Long experience has proved them to be the SAT-

tenn expelled, distractions removed, and the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become cIogged
and sluggish are ceansed by Ayer's puts. and
stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease
is changed into health, the value of which change
when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy
1t, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues unimpaired for any length of time so
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution or diet, or
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as Family Physic,
and for the following complaints, which these
PITS rapidly cure:-
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, List1ess-
ness, Languors and Loss of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the ston-
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various symp-
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Head
ache, Jaundice or Green Sickness, Bill
ious Collie and Bilious Fevers, they should
be judiciously taken for each case to correct the
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For rheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Pain in the
Side, Back, and Loins, they should be contin-
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For Dropsy and DropsicaI svveIIings,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of drastic purge.
For Suppression, large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by SYM
pathy.
AS Dinner. PHI, take one or two Puts to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and invgorates the
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
no serious arrangement exists. One who feels
tolerably WELL often finds that a dose of these
Pills makes him feel decidedly BETTER from their
cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive
apparatus.

PARRY. Of Danvlle, Pa, and Miss LIZZIE
PARRY JAMES, Of Scranton, Pa, assisted
by the Presbyterian, English Baptist and
Welsh Baptist Choirs Those parts OF the
nrorronlme allotted to Mr.. PARRY and
Miss JAMES were composed mostly Of pieces
written by Mr.. PARRY himself Their
excellent performance met the high eXpcc-
;,t;ons which preceded him and establishes
fine fac; that his ability is not simply en-
ijcr- as a singer but as Il composer also
Moreover, he makes fine appearance and
evidently possesses all those pleasant quail
iifcatons which command the respect OF
lis fellow. and the admiration Of the ladies.
In appearance he is about thirty years OF
age OF commanding physique and cngag-
inc manners. lie is Il native Of Wales, bat
has resided great portion Of his life in the
United States. From this country several
wears since he returned and passed a col
lcgiarr course in the most eminent musical
school in Tie world, the Royal Academy OF
Music in London, where he graduated with
the highest honolS.
Miss JAMES, we learn, IS 4 niece Of Mr.
. PAHEY's judging from her singing We
might add she is also his pupil. She pos
scsscs clear, sweet cultivated voice, anG
sing without atIcctation or p"etcnsion.

The programme was new and well filled
Mr.. pAURy and Miss JAMES, of course
performed their parts admirably. The

The gentlemen who projected this enter

The Great Mystery.

Tie body is 10 die No one who
passes the charmed boundary comes
back to tell. The immigration visits
the land Of shadows-sent out from
some window Of the soul over LIES
restless waters-but wings its way
YEARLY back without leafin its beak
as a token Of merging life being the
closely bending horizon The great
sun comes and goes in the heavens
vet breathes no secret of the ETHEREAL
Wilderness. The crescent moon cleaves
her nightly passage across the upper
deep, but losses over board no signals
The sentinel stars challenge each 9TH
er as they walk their nightly rounds,
bat we cat h no syllable of their cour-
tersign which gives passage to the
heavenly camp. Between this and
the other life their is a great gulf
fixed, across which neither feet nor
eve can travel. The gentle friend
whose ewes were closed in their last
long sleep long years ago, died with
rapture in her wonder-stricken eyes,
a smile Of inetIable joy on her lips,
and hands folded over a triumphant
heart bat her Ii ps We're past speech );
and intimateI nothing of the vision
that cnthralled her.

Anaconda of Venezuela.

OF ophidians, the great anaconda SER
pent is unquestionably the most terrific
in character of all the reptiles on the
American continent.
Under the name of cuLebra de aqua, the
anaconda of Venezuela (E,mectes m,ri
nus) not unfrequently attains the length
of twenty, thirty, and even forty feet.
1t actually swallows animals larger than
its own body. The throat may be put
upon a stretch to admit a deer or q
cow, and the stomach is sufficiently
elastic to receive the mass. In gorging
a tall stag with antlers, they stick cross
wise at the angles of the mouth until
decomposition in one direction and pro-
digious muscular action in another sep
arate them from the skull, and then
the remnants of an engulfng carcass
slide down for digestion. They only
feed occasionally. After successfully
swallowing a crushed victim they can
go seven months or more without fur
ther food. Their skin is used for straps
when tanned, on account of toughness
and durability, in that country. Ser
pents inspire feeling of horror, large
| or small. There is an instructive dreao
of them in all human beings. And ye
they fulfill an important mission in the
economy of life, indispensable, viewed
by the law of equalization-or check
and balances in the domain of nature.

EngIishwomen.

Col. T. w. Higginson writes from
England to the Woman's Journal:
The dispensing of liquors of all
kinds seems feminine prerogative in
England. You constantly see their
names over street doors as "licensed to
keep and retair' strong drinks, and in
railway stations and hotel bars they
almost invariably preside at the tap.
The business of telegraphing in this
country seems very largely in the hands
