10 destroy their lives.
When . mad dog, killed by
CanpbeII, At Liberty, was On its de-
>troyifg mission throughout tie
lcouAtry, seyelal days ago, these two
men crossed its path, and received
its terrible bite. The mad.stote
was applied, but, caring and doubt
ing its efficacy, they are prepared

ofhy'lropAobia. Not knowing at
! what hour tic tell destroyer might
make its appearance, AID fearing
\ for the safety Of their wives, little
ores anl friends, they lad heavy
/ irons made tor Tie purpose, and
bonnd themselves 81 securely that

locked around their waist, and 10
this bald is . welded heavy CLAIM,
one eul Of which is fastened 10 a
heavy ring bolt in The floor and
there they stand waiting.
Waiting for the dread approach
Of the awful mad'lening stupor that
announces the flow Of poison
/ through tie blood and tie brain !;
waiting Tor the stapor from which
they will revive by the quick ard
sudden twitclitg Of the muscles
deadly pains in the Lead and body,
and burning eye-balls, while pois-
onous troth vii gather ut the
mouth. They will be seizel by all
uncomfortable longing 70 bite, to
tear, to destroy. The stupor gone
they will be writhing, slappiuy,
slarlilig, growing, bowling, tor
turcl lemons-presslng hard upon
their fa>teniligs, Sayagely upon all
round item, tie ties of love, of
b'ool, Of humanity obliteratcd
from their understanding going

clanking ard rattlipg their chains
in order to free themselves from re-
straint, aid with bit ole thought,
one desiIe--to kill AID destroy
to rerd with teeth aid nails every
living thing, aid after this, with
hot, seorehing eyes strained and
twisted back in their sockets, and
blood ard foam from their parchel
lips, to die-to die amid tie con

This is what these unfortunate

light as love aud sympathy can rem
der It. 7'Lcse loved ones are also
waiting, watching, not knowing tile
