A Medical Monkey.

All previous narratives of intelligent proceedings on the part of animals are thrown into the shade by the following account of medical monkey, described by the Oriental correspondent of. a London journal
 He one day saw a monkey holding a snake by the throat and rubbing it's head in the dirt :; but as the ground was moist and damp the snake was not readily killed by this mode of punish ment. Every now and then the monkey would look most knowingly in the face of the reptile to see if it was dead and in the course of one of these investiga- tions the monkey received a severe bite. This angered him, and hespeedily dispatched the snake, but it's coils had hardly relaxed before the monkey reeled and fell prostrate, and apparently in all the agonies of death by poison. By this time all aged-looking monkey ar rived on the scene, and after examining the bodies of the snake and it's victim, he immediately started for some neigh. boring bushes, where he collected some leaves of the plant known as the red cherchita. These he rapidly and skill fully fashioned into sort of pill, which he administered to his snake bitten companion, who speedily revived and walked off with his physician. The story is declared to come from trust worthy sources.

Let Us Consider.

Since the introduction of distilled spirits in the sixteenth century, they have been habitually prescribed as remedies. We know that alcohol, in all it's forms, is pernicious to health. Knowing these things, and that under the system of treatment which includes their use, the mortality among the sick is, and ever has been, enormous, is it not worth while to try the effect of a remedy which combines in their high est excellence the qualities of tonic, an alternative and a regulator contains no mineral bane or murderous alkaloid or alcoholic poison does it's curative office without pain. and with uniform certainty? Dr. Walkers Vinegar Bit tors fulills all these conditions, and is now effecting the most extraordinary cures in cases where every "specifc , of the faculty has ignominiously failed. Consider, in view of these facts, whether any sick person is justified by reason and common sense in declining to test the virtues of this undefled and irre- sistible remedy Com.

 The damask roses deepened on Fan ny's fair face. It had come at last, then, the proposal she had anticipated so long and anxiously.
 "Not of much consequence. Oh, Mir. Ellerslie 1" she repeated, reproach- fully.
 "Would you care for it ?" he de- manded, quite oblivious, in the embar' rassment of the moment that he hadn't even named the gift.
 "Care for it ?" The tears sparkled into Fanny's eyes. When-when you know that I love you, Martyn."
 And she ran into the arms of our as- tonished hero.
 When he went down the door-steps he was an engaged young man, how and when he scarely knew himself. And, as fate would have it, the first parsonage against whom he tumbled was Guy Barnes.
