A New COnfidence.Game.

THE worst confidence game of the sea-
son was practiced on a minister few
days since by unknown parties. A couple
apparently gentleman and lady
went to the house of Quincy divine,
armed with a marriage license, and re-
quested the minister to marry them. The
ceremony was accordingly performed, ac-
cording to the latest fashion; when the
bridegroom asked the clergyman how
much he charged Three dollars. A
twenty dollar bill was handed out, and the
groom received seventeen dollars in
change. A few moments conversation
and congratulation followed, when the
happy couple prepared to depart; but the
bride, who was evidently little awk-
ward at the business of handling train,
displayed pair of heavy boots! This
naturally aroused some suspicious of a
trick. Accordingly some of the house
hold watched the pair as they left the
parsonage, and had the satisfaction of
seeing the woman disrobe in an alley,
and come forth as fine-looking a young
man as one would wish to see. The rev.
erend gentleman who had made them
man and wife examined his twenty dollar
bank-note and discovered that it was a
counterfeit. But he has not yet found
the contidence-men who passed it on him.

Miss AbbOtt's Admirer.

\ YOUNG gentleman attached to
Western paper went to hear Miss Abbott
sing, and this is the way it affected him:
d" Miss Abbott is beautiful as an angel,
and was dressed in green. Her voice is
sweet as the tender accents of a mother
grooming her only babe to sleep, and
strong as tempest when it roars in the
forest and smashes the monarchs Of the
woody wales. Listening to her, the soul
is lifted on the wings of infinite JOY, and
scars into the realms of eternal glory.
When she ceased singing we fell back
again to earth, and were as stunned by
the conclusion as though we had fallen
from the top of a four-story house, or
been kicked by a mule" After writing
this he went home satisfied that he had
immortalized himself When he reached
the office the Dext morning the clerk
handed him an envelope, which he
opened, and in it found the following
letter:
Mr.. CHARLES CITHERs-Su: You are a
fool. Apply to the cashier for what's owing
to you. The best thing you can do is to go
hoeing potatoes, carrying coal or driving a
mule team. Your knowledge of musical
criticism is original. So was the informa-
ton of the individual who told the world
that the cougar was a very large bird, much
larger than the crow Make yourself scarce

A Snake-Eating Frog.

Mr.. c. F. Seiss, of Philadelphia, Pa,
writes as follows:
1t is a well.known fact that many
serpents subsist almost entirely upon
frogs, but Inever knew of frogs attempt
ing to devour their common enemy, the
snake, until l myself witnessed it. Last
autumn l had in my vivarium a female
shad frog, young bull-frog, and also
two male marsh frogs. One morning |
introduced to them De Hays brown
snake. The bull and the marsh frogs
were much terrified at the appearance of
the snake, and leaped wildly about, hid
ing at last under stones in corners as far
removed from the snake as possible.
Not so, however, with haJecjna. She
did not, if l may use slang, scare
worth a cent" but looked upon the sud-
den appearance of the snake as matter
of course. The snake, happy at being re-
leased from the small dark box in which
it had been confined, began moving about
quite briskly. 1t. at length crawled too
near halec5nd, who with her tongue in
simultaneously seized it by the head, and
began swallowing it with rapid gulps
peared in her now distenGed abdomen.
At this moment the snake had the APP
pearance of an immense tongue, which
the frog was slashing about most ener-
getically. Not wishing to lose the snake,
it being the more valuable of the two
reptiles, | endeavored to force the frog
to part with the snake by tapping her
smartly with my lead pencil. This had
not, however, the desired effect, but l
was forced to grasp the frog in one hand,
and the snake in the other, and thus
draw the snake from its unpleasant situa-
ton. The snake acted as if partially
blind or bewildcred after its removal,
but otherwise seemed none the worse
for its five minutes trip around the frogs
stomach. HalecinG made two more at
tempts to swallow her fellow prisoner,
the snake; both times she was caught
in the act and frustrated, and it is
without doubt she would at length
have succeeded had l not adopted
precautionary measures. The above
mentioned snake was twelve inches
in length, and the frog, two and a half
inches. Previously this same frog had
swallowed live brown Triton, over
three inches long. l will presume the
frog unused thus: " l will be compass
sionate toward you, poor Triton, and end
your sorrowful longing for liberty
and swallowed him.

A Walking Miracle.

Mr.. H. r STEVENS:
Dear Sir-ThOugh a stranger, / want to inform
you what VEGETINE has done for me.
Last Christmas, Scrofula made its appearance in
my system-large running ulcers appearing on me,
as follows One on each of my arms, one on my
thigh which extended to the seat one on my head
which ate into the skull bone, one on my left leg
which became so bad that two physicians came to
amputate the limb, though upon consultation
concluded not to do so, as my whole body was
full of Scrofula; they deemed il advisable to cut
the sore, which was painful beyond description,
and there was quart of matter run from this one
sore.
The physicians all gave me up to die, and said
they could do no more for me. Both of my legs
were drawn up TO my seat ana il was thought if
did get up again would be a cripple for life.
When in this condition saw NEGETINE ad-
vertised, and commenced taking it in March. and
followed on with it until had used sixteen bot
ties, and this morning am going to plough corn
well man. All my townsmen, say it is mira
Gle to me round walking and working.
In conclusion will add, when | was enduring
such great suffering from that dreadful disease
Scrofula, prayed to the Lord above to take me
out of this world, but as VEG ETINE has restored
to me the blessings of health. desire more than
ever to live, that / may be of some service to my
suffering humanity than to inclose you this state
will publish it, and it will afford me pleasure to
reply to any communication which may receive
thereirom / am, sir very respectfully

Sleep.

Sleep, DR.. w. A. Hammond says, may
be defined as general repose. Almost all
the organs rest during sleep. The heart,
popularity supposed to be in perpetual
motion, is at rest six h ,urs out of the
twenty-four, the respiratory organs eight,
and the other organs more or less. The
brain alone is constantly employed dur
ing wakefulness, and for it sleep was
formed and made needful to its preserva-
ton. 1t is true that sleep does not give
the brain total recess from labor; i'm
agination and memory are often wildly
active during sleep, and unconscious
cerebration likewise takes place, but
enough rest is obtained for the removal
ton of the brain, and that which has
been torn down during wakefulness is to
a certain extent rebuilt. Sleep is most
wonderful power-often stronger than
the will, as in the case of the sleeping
soldier-and more mighty than pain, as
when sick persons and tortured prisoners
sleep in the midst of their suffering. No
torture, it is said, has been found equal
to the prevention Of sleep. The amount
of sleep needed differs according to the
constitution and habits. Big brains and
persons who perform much brain labor
need large amount of sleep. Children
need more sleep than grown people be-
cause construction is more active than
decay in their orains.-Scieatifc Aneri-

BEA UTIFUL IN APPEARANCE AND
FLAVOR

DR.. Fanner's Capitol 9itters. This valua-
BILE remedy for torpid and disordered stom-
ach and bowels and loss of appetite has no
equal. No encomium need be pronounced
upon it. No one who once tries it for these
difficulties will ever be without it when
needed. A full dose relieves the pain OF
menstruation, or causes sleep at night.
When all other medicines disagree with
delicate stomach, this mild but efficient bit
ter will set kindly. In constipated bowels,
it regulates them, though not actively laXa-
tive like his Blood and Liver Remedy and
Nerve Tonic. 1t so invigorates the system
as to ward off disease guarding against Agues
Fevers and bowel disorders in the spring and
summer, colds and intlammations in the win

of the year. 1t is not to take the place of
that great misunderstanding agent, the Blood
and Liver Remedy and Nerve Tonic, but
where this is not needed, or after it has been
used for a time, then taken in connection
with it (the Btters before meals, the other
after, tins becomes the most agreeable ana
powerful invigorant to the system ever here
