The Yellow Centaur Liniment

Is adapted to the tough skin, muscles and flesh of
the animal creation. Its effects upon severe cases
of Spawn, Sweeny, Wind-Gall, Big Head and Poll
Evil are little less than marvellous.

and Front SITS, Cincinnati, o., say:
sin our neighborhood a number of teamsters are
using the Centaur Liniment They pronounce It
superior to anything they have ever used we sell
as high four to hive dozen bottles per month 10
owners o: horses and mules"
We have volumes of testimonials describing
cures of Sprains, Kicks, Calls, Poll Evil, Bg'Head
aud even Founders, which are little less than mar
wells. No owner of an animal can afford to be with
out a bottle of Centaur Liniment, which any day
may prove worth twenty times its cost.
Sold everywhere, but prepared only at the

Bronchitis, Asthma and
Consumption.

PECTORAL. 1t has been known to the public about
forty years, by q long continued series of marvel
lous cures that have won for it confidence in its
virtues, never equalled by any other medicine 1t
still makes the most efectual cures of Coughs,
Colds, Consumption, that can be made by medical
skill. Indeed the CHERRY PICTORIAL has really
robbed these dangerous diseases of their terrors,
to great extent, and given feeling of immunity
from their fatal effects, that is well founded If the
remedy be taken in season. Every family should
have in their closet for the ready and prompt re-
lief of its members. Sickness, suffering, and even
life is saved by this timely protection. The pru-
dent should not neglect it, and the wise will not.
Keep it by you for the protection it affords by its
timely use in sudden attacks.

A Neat SWindIe.

The latest Partisan swindle is clever:
A well-dressed woman called on prom
inent mental physician and implored his
aid in curing her son, who was laboring
under the delusion that some one owed
him 10000 francs for diamonds which
he had sold. Bring him here in an
hour, aud will see him alone," said the
doctor. The woman went at once to one
of the best jewelers. and, choosing 30, 900
francs worth of diamonds, asked the
proprietor to send his assistant with
them to DIR. J.'s, who was her husband
and would pay for them. The name was
well known, and the clerk was sent to
the doctors with her. In the anteroom
she said: "I will see if my husband is
at home" She then told the doctor
that her son was without, and the doc
tor said, "Send him in here" So she
sent the clerk, telling him to leave the
diamonds with her. Arrived in the doc
tors room, the clerk was politely seated
and courteously asked after his general
health and habits. After replying to
these questions for some time, the
young man limited that he was rather
pressed for time, and would be glad II
the doctor would kindly pay him for the
diamonds. "Ah, true" said the doc,
tor. "The 10000 francs. Well, by and
by" Then ensued funny scene,
which finally ended in both parties go
ing in search of the "mother, and ma,
ing that she had got tired of waiting ana
had gone, forgetting to leave the dia-
monds.

How the Oyster Builds His House.

A poor, weak thing is the body of an
oyster, apparently incapable of doing
anything at all. Yet what a marvellous
house he builds around his delicate
frame. When an oyster is first born, he
is very simple, delicate dot, as it we're,
ard vet he is born with two shells upon
him. For some unknown reasons he al
ways fixes himself on his round shell,
never by his flat shell, and, being once
fixed, he begins to grow-but he only
grows in summer. Inspect an oyster
closely, and it viii be seen that 1t is
marked with distinct lines. AS the rings
we observe in the section OF trunk OF
tree denote years of growth, so do the
markings on an oyster shell tell us how
many wears he has passed in his "bed
at the bottom of the sea. The way in
which an oyster grows bis shell is
pretty sight. / have watched itfrequent-
iv The beard of an oyster is not only
his breathing organ, i. e., his lungs: but
also his feeding organ, by which he con-
vevs his food to his complicated mouth,
with IT'S four lips. When the warm,
calm days of June come, the oyster opens
his shell. and, by means of his beard,
begins building an additional story to his
house. This he does by depositing very,
very fine PARTICLES of carbonate of lime.
till at last they form substance as thin
as silver paper, and exceedingly fragile.
Then he adds more and more, till at last
the new shell is as hard as the old shell.
When oysters are growing their shells,
they must be handled very carefully, as
the new growth of shell will cut like
broken glass, and a wound on the finger
from an oyster shell is often very
] poisonous.

"Little by little," the torrent said,
AS IL swept along its narrow bed,
Chafing in wrath and pride.
Little by little" and "day by day."
And with every wave il bore away
A grain of sand from the banks which lay
Like granite walls on either side.
1t came again, and the rushing tide
Covered the valley far and wide,
For the mighty banks were gone.
A grain at time they were swept away;
And now the fields and the meadows lay
Under the waves, for the work was done.
"Little by little" the tempter said,
As dark and cunning snare he spread
For the young unwary feet.
Little by little," and "day by day."
I'll tempt the careless soul astray,
Into the broad and fowery way,
Until the ruin is made complete.
Little by little," sure and slow,
We fashion our nature of bliss or woe
AS the present passes away.
Our feet are climbing the stairway bright
Up to the region of endless light,
Or gliding downward into the night,
"Little by little," and "day by day."
