So then I'd prop him up on my arm

"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little STAR" to
Black Eyed Susan" till the paroxysm
of pain was over, an he'd quiet down
again. l always knew when that was by

No USE Of any longer taking the large, re-
pulsive, gripping, drastic and nauseous pills,
composed of crude and bulky ingredients,
and put up in cheap wood or pasteboard
boxes, when VIC can, by careful application
of chemical science, extract all the cathartic
and other medicinal properties from the most
valuable roots and herbs, and concentrate
them into minute Granule, scarcely larger
than a mustard seed, that can be readily swal-
lawed by those Of the most sensitive stom-
achs and fastidious tastes. Each Of DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets represents,
in a most concentrated form, as much ca
thartic power as is embodied in any of the
large pills found for sale in the drug stores.
From their wonderful cathartic power, in pro-
portion to their size, people who have not tried
them are apt to suppose that they are harsh
or drastic in effect, but such is not at all the
case, the different active medicinal principles
of which they are composed being SO har-
monized one by the others, Us to produce a
most searching and thorough, yet gently and
kindly operating, cathartic. The Pellets arc

their longings is to be beautiful. The

THE TWO TRAVELLERS.


By WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Twas evening, and before my eyes
There lay landscape gray and dim:
Fields falutly seen and twilight skies
And clouds that hid the horizons brim.
SAVIOR was IL that drcamed?--
waking drcam?- cannot say;
For every shape as real seemed
As those that meet my eye to-day.
Through leailess shrubs the cold wind hisscd /;
The air was thick with falling snow;
And onward, through the frozen mist,
saw weary traveller go.
Driven ocr that landscape bare and bleak,
Before the whirling gusts of air,
The tow'Hakcs smUte his withered cheek,
And gathered on his silver hair.
Yet on he Jared through binding SHOWS,
And murmuring to himself he said
The night Is near, the darkness grows,
And higher rise the drifts tread.
Deep, deep each autumn flower they hide;
Each tuft of green they whelm from sight;
And they who journcyed by my side
Are lost in the surrounding night
loved them; oh, no words can tell
The love that to my friends bore;
We parted with the sad farewell
OF those who part to moetno more.
And I, who face this bitter wind,
And DER these snowy hillocks creep,
Must end my journey soon and find
frosty couch, frozen sleep"
AS thus he spoke, thrill of pain
Shot to my heart; closed my eyes,
And when openedsthem again
started with a glad surprise.
Twas evening still, and In the west
A Hush OF glowing crimson lay.
saw the morrow there and blest
That promise Of a glorious day.
The waters, in their CLASSY sleep,
Shone with the hueJ that tinged the sky,
And rugged cliff and barren steep
Cleaned with brightness from on high.
And one was there whose journey lay
Into the slowly gathering night;
With steady step he held his way
Der shadowy vale aud cleaning height.
l marked his firm though weary tread,
The lifted eye and brow serene,
And saw no shade of doubt or dread
Pass DER that travellers placid mien.
And others came, their Journey DER,
And badc good night with words of cheer
Tomorrow we shall meet once more;
'ris but the night that parts us here"
" And J." he said, " shall sleep ere long
These fading CLEANS will soon be gone
Shall sleep, TO rise, refreshed and strong
In the bright day that yet will dawn"
heard; watched him as he went,
A lessening form, until the light
OF evening from the armament
Had passed, and he was lost to sight.

TarriBg Fences and Trees.

We note that the old controversy
about tarring or painting shingles and
fences is being revived again, on the
principle, we suppose, that as an old gen
Grafton passes away the new one wants
to learn wholly for itself what it wants
to know. 1t ought, however to be gen
orally known, by this time, that not moist
ure only, but heat and moisture, either
or both, are the agents in the decay of
woody matter. Most writers seem to
think it is moisture alone, and hence all
that is required is to coat the wood with
some substance that will keep the water
out. To be sure, they know that heat,
when it is up to what we know as the
burning point, will destroy wood, but
| they seem to forget that even when not
burning heat is destructive only IN a less
degree. Any black substance, there
| fore, which attracts heat, though ii may
keep out the other destructive element,
water, adds to the destructive agencies at
work ON the wood, and should be avoid
| ed wherever duration is an object
1t needs no understanding of these
| laws, however, to know that tar or any
black substance tends to rot wood away
much faster than wood that has had
nothing at all done to it. A fence tarred
and exposed to the full sun, as any OBJ
server knows, soon crumbles away. In a
few years the wood is like an overdone
pie,crust. And then all know how long
a mere whitewashed fence lasts. Yet
there is no preservative charscter OF
much account in lime. Every ram goes
through it into the wood, but it is the
white color which rather turns away the
heat than attracts 1t, which is in thai
case the great agent which preserves il
80 long. .
In all discussions as to the preserv0
ton OF wood by paints or coatings, there
fore, we see that the color of the washes
or paints is an important point in the
argument. As for tar, ii is the very
worst thing that could be used where
there is exposure to the sun. Unde
ground, or where there is no heat for i
to attract of consequence, it is anothe
matter, and does possess more or les

Migration of Birds.

A RECENT correspondent of the London
Times presents the novel hypothesis that
the migratory flight of birds is an entirely
involuntary act. The argument is that
at or about certain period of the year,
when strong southern wind prevails in
an upper stratum of the air, subtle at
mospheric change, resulting from it, acts
upon the muscles of birds in such a way
as to make them fly. Their wings beat
rs naturally as their hearts, and they
cannot help going Rising up into the
swift current of air, they are borne along
1t as long as the spasm lasts, which gen
orally is long enough to carry most of
them to warmer climates, although null
titudes recover little too soon and perish
in the sea. Some experiments made
upon migratory birds in captivity lend
plausibility to the theory. Kept In cages
covered with silk to protect them from
injury, these birds have been observed,
at the season of migration, to he affected
with paroxysm of flight, which con
tinued through period answering in
length to the time occupied by birds in
their semi-annual journeys. When the
paroXysm was over the birds fell to the
ground, began preening their plumage,
and conducting themselves as If they had
just reached a new home after an extend
ed journey. The experiments we're made
in both England and Africa with similar
results. ..t
Contemporaneou with the publication
of this theory, Runeberg, the Swedish
poet, announces the fanciful conceit that
the birds are impelled to migrate by a
longing for light. II has been supposed
by ornithologists that birds leave their
summer haunts at the approach of win
ter because their food is exhausted or
disappears under the snow, and they are
compelled, not only by cold, but by hun
ger, to go south, where they can enjoy
comfortable warmth and sustenance but
Runeberg declares that "The bird of
passage Is of noble birth !, he bears a
motto, and his motto is, LuD mea dur.' ="
