MIR. DiOgcncs.

This singular man lived in Greece.
He was distinguished for his eccentri-
cities. bad manners. and bad dispo-
sition. 1t was his chief business to
find fault. For example, he took Il
lantern one day when the sun was
shining brightly and went out to
serch for All honest mau, thereby in
sinuaiing that such persons were ex-
ceediuglysscarce. When Alexander, n
distinguished military gentleman
paid him a visit, aud inquired what
he could do for him, he had the impu-
dence TO tell him to get out of his
sunshine To cap the climax of his
oddities, he dressed like a 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 women whuld take kindly to one
of his habits, dress, or manners, or
aspire to become mistress of his man
sion. "There was an old women who
lived in shoe it is true, but the wo-
mon who would live in u tah and with
such Il companion, has not been heard
from. The misanthropic spirit which
possessed this man was doubtless due
to disorded digestion and bilious
ness, one of the prominent symptoms
of which II morose, fault-iinding dis
position. The tongue is heavily coat
ed, giving rise to bad taste, the appe-
tite is not good, and the patient feels
dull, sleepy, or dizzy, and is apt to be
tretful. Unfortunately, Mr.. Diogencs
lived several centuries before DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets
were invented, few doses of which
would have relieved him of his "bile,"
| and enabled him to find scores OF
.'honest men" without the aid of his
lantern. Under their magic influence,
combined with that of the Golden
Medical Discovery, to cleanse his
blood, he might have been led to more
cheerful view OF life, to exchange his
tub for decent habitation, to spruce
up in personal appearance, 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
Diogenese who would have handed
down to posterity the name, not of u
cynic philosopher, but of a cheerful,
Mdithy, happy, pertaous man.!
