MR.. DlOGENES.

This singular man lived in Greece. He was
distinguished for his eccentricitfes, bad man
ncrs and bad disposition. It was his chief busi-
mesa to find fault For example, he took 1at1-
tern one day when the SUP was shining brightly
and went out to search for an honest man,
thereby tnsinuating that such persons were eI-
ceediugly scarce. When Alexander, q
distinguished military gentleman, paid
him visit and inquired what he
could do for him, he had the impu-
dence to tell him to "get out Of bis sunshine"
To cap the climax Of his oddities, he dressed
like bcggar and lived In 4 tub! He was q
sour, grabbed. crustv old bachelor. We infer
that he had no wife, first. because history does
not mention her; second, because no woman
would take kindly to Que Of bis habits, dress, or
manners, or aspire to become mistress Of bis
mansion. "TheEc was an old woman who
lived in a shoe,'' It Is true, but the
woman who would live in tub,
aud especially With such = companion
has not been heard from. The m1san~
thropic spirit which possessed this man was
doubtless due to dtsordercd digestion and a
biliousness, one Of the prominent symptoms OF
which Is a morose, fault-hnding disposition
The tongue is heavily coated, giving rise to a
bad taste, the appetite Is not good, and the
patient feels dull sleepy, or dizzy, and is apt to
be frctfu1. Unfortunately. Mr.. Dtogenes lived
several centuries before Dr.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets were invented, a few
doses Of which would have relieved him Of his
'bne," and enabled him to find scores Of hon
est men u without the aid OF hts lantern. Under
their magic influence, combined with that Of the
Golden Medical Discovery, to cleanse his blood,
he might have been led to take more cheerful
view OF life, to exchange his tub for 3ecect
habitation, to ssspruce up" in personal appear
ance, and at last have taken wife to mend his
clothes and his manners, both Of which were In
evident need Of repairs, and become the happy
sire Of little Diogeneses who would have handed
down to posterity the name, not OF cynic
philosopher, but Of q cheerful, healthy, happy.
