Mr.. DiOgeneS.

This singular man lived in Greece.
He was distinguished for his eccentricitles,
bad manners, and bad disposition. 1t was
his chief business to find fault. For ex-
ample, he took a lantern one day when the
sun was shining brightly and went out to
search for an honest man, thereby 1nslnuat
ing that such persons were exceedingly
scarce. When Alexander, a distinguished
military gentleman, paid him visit and IN
quired what he could do for him, he had the
impudence to tell him to "get out of his
sunshine" To cap the climax Of his oddl-
ties, he dressed like beggar and lived IN a
tub He was sour, grabbed, crusty
old bachelor. We infer that he had no
wife, first, because history does not mention
her; second, because no woman would take
kindly to one of his habits, dress, or man
ners, or aspire to become mistress OF his
mansion. "There was an old woman, who
lived in shoe" it is true, but the woman
who would live in tub, and especially with
such companion, has not been heard from.
The misanthropic spirit which possessed
this man was doubtless due to disordered
digestion, and biliousness, one of the
prominent symptoms of which is a morose,
fault-finding 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 fret
full. Unfortunately, Mr.. Diogenes lived sew
eral centuries before Dr.. Pierce's Pleasant
Purgative Pellets were invented, a few doses
of which would have relieved him of his
"bie," and enabled him to find scores of
honest men without the aid of a lantern.
Under their magic influence, combined with
that of the Golden Medical Discovery, to
cleanse his blood, he might have been led to
take a more cheerful view of life, to ex-
change his tub for a decent habitation to
spruce up" in personal appearance, and
at last have taken a wife to mend his clothes
and his manners, both of which were in evil
dent need of repairs, and become the happy
sire of little Diogeneses who would have
handed down to posterity the name, not ofa
cynic philosopher, but of a cheerful, heating,
hGDDy, Uirtu0atS mani!

styles of former days, but sensible, small

THE STIRRUP-CUP.
BY SIDNEY LANIER.

Death thou'rt q cordial old and rare;
Look how compounded, with what care,
Time got his wrinkles reaping thee
Sweet herbs from all antiquity.
David to thy distillage went,
Keats, and Gotama excellent,
Omar khayyam, and Chaucer bright,
And Shakespeare for a king delight.
These were to sweeten thee with song:
The blood of heroes made thee strong.
What heroes! All, for shame, for shame!
The worthiest died without name.
Then, Time, let not drop be split;
Hand me the cup whene'er thou wilt;
Ii death such dear distillment be,
I'll drink it down right smilingly.
