Esc and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief when required,
Long experience has proved them to be the sat-
est, surest, and best of all the Pills with which
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
the blood is purified, the corruptlons Of the sys-
TEN expelled, distinctions reIHsved, and tho
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are cleansed by iyer's Pills. 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, Thoir sugar coating
makes them pleasant 10 take, and preserves their
virtues unmpaired 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

For Rheunsatisnl. GOut, Gravel, Pal

uously taken, as required to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For DrOPsy and DrOpsicaI SWeslfngs,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression, n large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by sym
pathy.
As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and invgorates tho
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
no serious arrangement exists. One who feels
tolerably well, often finds that dose of these
Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating efoct on the digestive
apparatus.

Exciting Scene in a Menagerie,

A terrible scene took place in Man
ders' menagerie, at Whitby, in England,
on Sept. ID. There were several hun
dred people in the show, when heart
rending cries, as from one in mortal
agony, went through the air. A panic
ensued. The people, terribly excited,
ran en- nlasse TO the narrow outlet, and
endeavored to escape by other means.
A cry was raised outside that one of the
beasts had burst through the bars of its
cage, and the excitement among the
crowd without was scarcely less intense
than that within. In the rush to the
door many people, particularly the
weaker sex, were injured, and the con-
fusion was increased from the circum-
stance of couple of camels blocking
up the doorway. Meanwhile the cries
continued, and it was discovered that a
poor boy named Langley was the victim
of the viciousness of big tiger, placed
alongside another next to the cage con-
tanning the lion that worried to death
poor Mccarthy, the lion-tamer, at Bos-
ton last year. The tiger was Infatuated,
and was making strenuous efforts to
draw the lad through the bars of the
cage. The beast growled frightfully,
and what with the pitiful cries of the
boy, the shouts of the men, and the
screams of half-fainting women, the
scene was one of the most terrible de-
scription. Some men ran for hot irons,
while others beat the beast with their
sticks and umbrellas, and did all they
could to draw the brute from its helpless
victim. Ultimately, after q severe
mauhng, the animal relinquished its
prey, and the boy, helpless and faint
through loss of blood from the injuries
he had received, was borne away through
the crowd. His wounds, upon being
dressed, appeared to be of serious ma
ture, though they are not likely to prove
fatal. The brute seems to have caught
its victim just below the elbow, and tore
deep lump of flesh right down the
forearm to the wrist. There is also &
deep cash in the palm of the left hand
from which the hemorrhage is great
The patient lies in great pain, and it is
feared that he will not recover the per.
feet use of his arm. One of the keepers
has also been severely injured. He was
struck by one of the elephants, and his
ribs were smashed in. The man was
taken to the workhouse in helpless
condition

A Good IndOrser.

Andrew Jackson was a sturdy man,
rough in demeanor at times, but naturally
kind-hearted and scrupulously honest in
his own person, while he held to q strict
accountability in this direction those who
served him during his Presidency.
A poor woman called at the White
House one morning, and craved audience
with the President. On being ushered
into the Generals presence, he blandly
inquired
What can do for you, madam %
Mr.. President" responded the
widow, CT have clearinghouse on L
street, and among my patrons, "a Mr.. III.
has for several months been an inmate
Of my house, who declines to pay his
account. He is clerk in the Treasury
Department, upon good pay, but l can
not collect my bill of him."
"Why not ?" asked the President.
He won't pay it, sir"
How much does he owe you,
madam ?"
Nearly two hundred dollars"
"What is his pay ?"
Nearly two thousand dollars per on
num-"
"That is a fair salary. He ought tc
live on it., said the President thought
fully.
He has paid me nothing for five
months, sir. l need the money, and
came to ask you to advise me how l may
get it,"
"He admits his indebtedness ?"
6" He avoids me, sir, on pay days, ant
can get no satisfaction from him, aftel
repeated solicitations.
I" He must pay you, madam.
Il hope SO. L can i'll afford to los,
eco to him, and get his note at thirt,
days for the full amount and interest,
said Jackson.
His note, sir 1t wouldn't be wortl
a penny"
I" Get his note and come to me again,
replied the President. eve shall see.
The lady applied to her delinquen
boarder for his due bill that very day.
Note Yes" said the clerk, indffer
emily, "Pll give you half a dozei
notes."
And without delay he proceeded t,
furnish the desired bit Of negotiable,
paper.
What are you going to do with it ?

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
The "Man I'm the Moon.v


Oh, "man in the moon!' oh, "man in tho moon (!
wonder who you are
You're = dull-looking fellow to live so close
To the brght-faced evening star.
Az you ride around with the fair, full moon,
You look crooked and ugly and Old;
But guess she likes you pretty well,
Or she'd shake you of in the cold.
Oh where did You come from, old man, old man?
They say You have sticks on your back,
But YOU look TO mellow think of it
Like pcddler with his pack.
Perhaps one time you lived down here,
And Miss Moon wanting fancy things,
Snatched you up to her to get hold Of your pack.
And then couldn't units the strings.
And SO you've lived with her ever since,
And got used to her rowing ways;
But think, old man, you will carry your pack,
To the very end Of your days!
Perhaps you felt proud when you first went up
Felt grand to be living so high,
For surely not one in a thousand years
Can ride around III the sky!
But pity you now. poor old "man in the moon =
Don't believe You are happy at all,
With your heavy pack ana your crooked back,
And the constant fear of a fall.
And think that we folks that live down here,
And don't try to get SO high,
Are happier far, for we're never afraid
OF falling by-and-by! christian Union.

thology, geography, and language of
ancient Assyria but it would be tedious
to your readers to inhict on them criti-
cal and minute examination of all these
texts. Twill, therefore, select few as
characteristic specimens OF the collec-
ton, and 1 shall commence with text
that has attracted most attention-that,
namely, which belongs to the Deluge
series. When last year L published a
translation of the text in question, was
obliged to note with regret that In the
first column of the inscription there
were about fifteen lines entirely lost.
The lacuna occurred at point of high
interest to students and the world in
general-for the Divine Instructor Of
Sisit was about to give orders for the en-
barkation in the ark. 1t is needless.
therefore, to say with what satisfaction
1 lighted upon the welcome tablet which
fills ND this very important gap. The
fragment / found during the Daily
telegraph expedition belongs to the first
column of the Deluge series of inscrip-
tions it contains the speech of the god
Hea, the commencement of which is
on the portion of tablet already in the
Museum. On the fragment of the old
collection, Hea tells Sisit to warn the
world, because of the wickedness of the
people on the Daily telegraph portion
Hea continues by predicting the flood,
and then commands Sisit as follows:
"'On the coming of the flood which /
shall send, thou shalt enter into the ship,
and the door of the ship turn; thou
shalt send into the midst of it thy corn,
thy furniture and goods, thy gold and
silver, thy male slaves, and thy female
slaves, the sons of the army, the beast
of the field, the animals of the field, al
that thou nearest thou shalt do
they shall spread, and they shall guard
the door of the ship. Sisit attended ano
opened his mouth, and spake, and sait
to the god Hea, his lord. Five lines o
the speech of Sisit follow this. The,
are too mutilated for exact translation
and then in the answer, Sisit refers h
the difficulties in the way of the work
need not dwell upon the interest o
placing this account side by side witt
that contained in. the book OF Genesis.
