arc still the most thorough and search
Ing cathartic medicine that can bo
employed; cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
orous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than a quarter of century, ana
have obtained worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action In the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are so
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely Withstand or
evade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have bafiled the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at tho same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. by their aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels arc not infamed. They
reach the vital fountains OF the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
1t from the elements OF weakness.
Adapted 10 all ages and conditions
In all climates, containing neither
calomcl nor any dcloterious drug,
these pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coatiDg pre-.
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
nom their use In any quantity.

Fraud, Ignorance and Superaaion,----
Within the last two weeks German
tramp came to the house of Peter
Helm, first farm above tho bridge ut
the head of town. He succeeded in
persuading Mr.. Helm, who also is n
German, that some $4,000 had been
buried on his land somewhere during
the Revolutionary war, and that he
could find it. He required $35 in mons
ey and silver watch. Having no watch
of his own, Helm borrowed one from a
brother-in law that cost $50 or. 500.
The tramp wrapped the watch in u
wooden cloth and took it up stairs and
locked it in n chest, cautioned them
not to open the chest in nine days else
there might bo sickness and death in
the family. Helm then loaned him
his best coat yet and took him in a
buggy to the depot. In the mean
time Mrs. Helm opened the chest, and
instead Of the watch found u stone in
the WOODEN cloth. The tramp had
made the watch $35 in money, good
coat, and several days board. Such
ignorance is utterly surprising ; but
Helm is one of those men who never
reads, and is too poor to take a paper
and get posted in these tricks that arc
dark. -Seiinsgrope Times, 22nd, inst.

THE OLD GRAVE.

IT'S an old, old grave; the SHOWS and rains
OF a hundred years have left their srains
On the broken slab, which soEae kind hand
Has p;eced with an iron bolt and band,
Long since-for the headstone leans away,
Like wheat-sheaf when the wind sweeps by.
TITS an DID, old grave; the once trim mound
Is level now with the sloping ground;
From the tangled grass the buttercup
With startled, wild -fawn air looks up,
And the coarse-eaved burdocks make their home
Where the mowers scythe has ceased to come.
TITS an old, old grave-how came here?
II don't know. 1t is many year
Since went from home, and yet to day
1t seems I've been but an hour away!
How odd that I'm standing here alone
With the Past so blotted out and gone!
I know the place-as boy have played,
With my mates beneath that walnut's shade:
1t was smaller then-no! 1 declare
Twas chestnut tree that once stood there :!
How all is changed in the spot knew
How thick are the graves that once were few
How the moss has spread, how the wall Says down.
saw it built !! Why, I think the town
Is nearer now than it used to be
When was a boy. What's this see,
As scrape the lichen from the stone7
What name do I read? Good God, my own!

PART II.

Every one said that sooner or later,
the &c Rapid Russian" for that was the
nickname Of the quickest express train
which ran upon a certain long line of
railway, would come to grief" That
was the opinion of the villagers who
stood on the platforms of small way
side stations when the Russian flew past
d1sdainfully; when they saw it come
tearing along the line, dashing round
the curves and rattling over the points
with roar and a clatter that almost
deafened you, and leaving series of
miniature whirlwinds behind it, wherein
the dust and leaves circled for some
moments after the train had passed. If
anything were to give way, or if q GER
tain part of the line, of which q Gov
eminent Inspector had spoken some
what harshly some years ago, were to
become any worse, it was clear to every
one that catastrophe would happen
which would stand out as one of the
most terrible ever recorded in the an
nails of railway accidents.
But in spite of these predictions, and
of newspaper paragraphs advising the
directors not to run the Russian at such
pace, the public still patronized the
train. We are in such hurry now
adays that we cheerfully risk our lives
in order to gain a little more time for
the business of life, and no warning will
ever prevent people doing so. The i'm
patience of the public creates a desire
for these very fast trains, and the man.
ayers of railways can only yield to the
demand.
And one fine morning the smash did
happen. The Russian" left London.
perfectly appointed, as usual, on a
bright morning in winter, and flew
through the snowy landscape at its &C
customed pace. The passengers, snug
ly wrapped up in furs and rugs, sat lux
uriously in the carriages and discussed
the last new novel or the news in the
papers; the pleasant sense of exhiliara-
ton which accompanies very rapid
travelling being heightened by the bril-
liant sunshine on the snow, and all the
glories of q fine winter morning.
Suddenly, without the least warning,
the tire of wheel broke, one of the
