In the Tolls.

Any lightning-rod agent who may see
this paragraph, says a Rome, N. Y,
paper, is cordially invited to call on
Mr.. Norman Thayer, who resides about
five miles northwest from Central
Square, Oswego county. Mr.. Thayer
has been until recently the owner of
one of the finest barns in that part of
Oswego county. Feeling q natural
anxiety for the safety of his large barn,
Mr.. Thayer allowed o lightning
agent to erect rod on it. Shortly
afterwards came along another agent.
He saw at glance that the rod already
up would protect only the middle of the
barn could Mr.. Thayer leave the
northern gable of his property unpro-
tected from the terrible lightnings of
the north ? Mr.. Thayer could not. The
agent put up rod at the north gable.
Another agent got the job of putting a
rod at the south end. Four more came
along during the season and put rods on
each of the four corners. Two more
put rods up from the caves on. each
side, and the last agent put up o
"ightning-rod at large" a sort of
short-stop, to play wherever it could
do the most good. After all the agents
had gone away the lightning came, and,
without stopping to consult Mr..
Thayer, it knocked the rods six ways
for Sunday-yes, ten ways for Sunday
and set the barn on fire. Now barn,
horses, hay, harness, carriages, etc
are ashes, and faithful in death the
lightning squirm over the ashes
and invite further disaster.

A Few Words to Feeble and Delicate
Women.

BY Il. V. Pierce, Nj D., Of the Worlds Dis
pensary, Buffalo, N. Y.
Knowing that you arc subject to a great
amount of suffering, that delicacy on your part
has strong tendency to prolong, and the
longer it is neglected the more you have to
endure and the more difficult of cure your case
becomes, l, as physician, who is daily con-
suited by scores of your SEX desire to say to
you, that am constantly meeting with those
who have been treated for their ailments for
months without being benefited in the least,
until they have become perfectly discouraged
and have almost made up their minds never to
take another dose of medicine, nor be tortured
by any further treatment. They had rather
die and have their sufferings ended than to
live and suffer as they have. They say they
are worn out by suffering and are only made
worse by treatment. OF anything more dis
couraging, we certainly cannot conceive, and
were there no more successful mode of treating
such difficulties than that, the principles of
which teach the reducing and depicting of tho
vital forces of the system, when the indications
dictate treatment directly the reverse of the
one adopted for them, their cases would be
deplorable indeed. But lady sufferers, there is
better and far more successful plan of treat
ment for you; one more in harmony with the
laws and requirements of your system.
harsh Irritating caustic treatment and strong
medicines will never cure you. If you would
use rational means, such as common-sense
should dictate to every intelligent lady, take
vigorating tonics and nervines, compounded
with special reference to your delicate system.
Such happy combination you will find in nv

Natural Illustrations of History.

In times past, when books were
scarce, and pictures, though called
"the books of the simple" were still
more inaccessible, our forefathers, curl
ously and cleverly, drew popular illus
trations of history from nature. They
found, here and there, among natures
works, certain marks and features,
which they applied to the embellish-
ment of legends and facts familiar to
their minds. AS this sort of old
fashioned ip-lore is not likely to be
preserved unless some care is taken of
1t, writer strung a few of these natural
symbols together, for the sake of their
curiosity:
On the back of the haddock, near the
head, are two round dark marks.
These, dame and maid have whispered
to each other through centuries of
days, are tokens of those made by the
finger and thumb of st. Peter. On the
back OF every ass there is a rude cross
outlined by the intersection of dark
stripe with the ridge of the spine. The
story is that the stripe is the mark left
by a blow given by Balaam to his ass,
and some people accordingly look on it
with degree of awe. The stripe is
simply one of those natural marks, in
dicative that the animal is generally
connected with the zebra. On the
breast of the robin is q red spot, con-
tracted, first, at Calvary. In the head
OF the lobster is a formation represent
ing lady or virgin seated in a chair.
In the head of the shrimp, among the
antenn@, are two semi-transparent pale
nude figures, bearing a striking resem-
blance to human beings. These are
identified as Adam and Eve. In mems
throats, Eve and the apple are COM
memorated in the Ponaun Adanai. On
the stone of the date is confguration
in the form of the letter o, recording
the exclamation of the Virgin in appre-
citation of the sweetness of the fruit.
In the flowers of the passion flower are
to be seen the implements of the Cruel
fixion.
In this way our forefathers gratifed
their homely fancy. We still speak of
the eyes of Argus in peacocks tails, or
Venus ay-trap among flowers, of the
sphinx among moths and we have
quite recent, though faint, example,
in the comparison of the outline of Ben
Lochan to the profile of the Duke of
Wellington but the awed kind of in
terest with which such things were dis
cussed in the days of yore, and the
mixture of poetical freedom and practi-
cal experience that sought them out,
are gone forever.
