by huge rat, aud neither would

pass with her beak, which the rat
lodged, and then the rat made a
spring for her neck, which was not a
success. AT this juncture a cluck
from the hen brought up the rooster.

Thus our industries will be revived,

will probably he of extensive scope,

effort to capture Constantine

Europe will be blotted out. and the

When there is leisure land there has
n plenty in winter, make some boxes
about ten inches square, without top
or bottom. Place these about the

crawl over such obstructions. Besides,

symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

/ Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
/ DAN in the right side, under the edge
OF the ribs, increases on pressure;
+ sometimes the pain is in the left side; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder-blade, and il frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are costiye, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally aconsiderable loss ofmemory,
accompanied witha painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought TO have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
hility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains OF a
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
'ensively deranged.
