The t,rportant t1uest;o,.

Ut all loathsoff1e diseases Catarrb stands pre-
eminent. 1t renders its victim as disgusting to
himself as to others. And the most humiliating
of all is the consciousness that his presence is
offensive to those around him. If any disease
deserves the name of universal it is this Dietetic
errors and the follies which Fashion imposes
upon us tend to foster and disseminate it. To
the pitifu cry Of Its victims, IS there ann cure
for CatG'7'h? there is but one answer Consistent
with Christian reason. God has never sent one
evil into the world for which He has not sent
and moral evils, the Great Physician has pre-
scribed potent and never-failing remedy. He
has given explicit rules for the treatment and
preservation of the spiritual and moral man,
but He is silent in all matters relating to the
physical man. 1t would be unwarrantable
detraction from His benefcent character to sup
pose that He has afflicted the greater portion of
humanity with an ineurable disease. The day
of plaques is past The God of Christianity is
God of Love, of Mercy. His message is good
will to all men," The earth and all contained
therein was intended by the Great Designer to
supply mans wants. aid surely he has no
greater wants than remedies for his ipfirmtjes.
Science is rapidly proving that the earth is fitted
to supply mans uttermost need. New medicinal
plants are constantly being discovered and new
properties developed from those already known.
For CataITh, the most potent remedy vet dis
ficacy has been tested in many thousand cases
with uniform success. Cases that had been re-
peatedly pronounced incurable readily yielded
to it. In confirmed, or obstinate cases. DR..

time to defy all efforts to render it available

t1fc selection of other ingredients, those which

discovered, and they together have produced a
compound, which is un ualifedIy pronounced
to be the best that has vet appeared.

hair and scalp under which circumstance; this

cannot be surpassed and it is offered to the
public i'll the firm belief that it only requires to

all on worcestershire country to the
southwest of the Raquette lake region,
one day, toward evening, fresh tracks of
this mountain lion were met with, Just
where the party proposed to make th cir
camp for the night. Looking around,
they beheld a dead deer, killed by the
panther, and, taking the trail of the saw
age beast, they pursued it Half an
hour later the panther was discovered
standing boldly ON dead tree, on the
edge of fearful precipice, only twenty
or twenty-five feet from his pursuers,

party dug out camp ground in the
snow, built fire, and encamped. The
panther was wrapped in the skin of one
OF the deer which lie had killed, and
drawn over the snow to the settlements.
The carcasses OF several deer were found
which the beast had slain. and had he
leaped among the party on the cliff there
must have been loss of life. The pan
Their is over seven feet long from nose to
tip of tail, is very heavy and muscular
animal, and weighed probably about 200
pounds when killed. BY some of the
judges it is said to be the heaviest and one
of the largest panthers ever killed in the
Adirondacks. 1t is probable that Mr.
Colvin will present it to the Legislature

The PoDDy aud the Bee,

A wild Bee, which had flown far with
out having breakfasted, at length en-
tered garden-the first he had seen.
What paradise p he exclaimed.
! The first thing that attracted his atten-
ton was a full-blown poppy but, accus-
toned only to mint, wild thyme and
sueh-like fare, he approached the gaudy
beauty with some difidence.
GA little pollen, please % he at length
ventured to say in the humblest manner.
BE off ! be off l'' was the ill-natured
reply.
The poor bee was almost fainting with
hunger and fatigue, and asked leave to
rest himself for little.
"Be OFF," returned the naughty
flower; 81 don't encourage idle Migrants
like you. Stay at home, and you will
not have to complain of being tired; sit
upon your own stalk, and you won't have
to support yourself by begging. BE

Looking angrily at the flower he said,
"What is sweeter than honey? and how
should We have honey without bees? and
how should bees i've if all flowers were
as vain and empty-headed as you?"
So saying, he plucked it up by the
root and threw it over the garden wall

Long, long years ago,
When great melted rocks,
With earthquake shocks,
In torrents of fame did flow.
SECOND AGE.
1t was an age of Mollusks,
Long, long years ago,
When the clam and the oyster,
With the mussel much moister,
By the sad sea waves sang low.

When the shark and the gar-fish,
With the dear little stsr-fish,
Swan about stately and slow.

Long, long years ago,
When the fern and the pine,
And other plants fine,

FIFTH AGE.
1t was an age of Reptiles,
Long, long years ago,
When the ichthyosaurus,
BY the banks of the Taurus,
And the pterodactyl,
By the gurgling rill,
Danced in the moonbeam's glow.
SIXTH AGE.
1t was an age of Mammals,
Long, long years ago,
When the wild mastodon,
With his war-paint on,
The behemoth wooed,
And the mammoth sued,
Where glaciers once did go.
SEVENTH AGE.
1t is the age of man!
Now tell me, if you can,
WY no more on the hills
March the pterodactyls?
Why the ancient tapirs,
Through the morning yapors,
Chase not the whale,
Or the sportive snail?
And when men have gone,
What next will come on
This peculiar earth,
Which had its birth,
AS you surely know,
In an age of fire,
Long years ago
Yes, long ago?

The first impression of Vienna is that
it is like Paris. The streets are lively,
buildings handsome, and some of the
people very Frenchy in their appearance.
There are indeed a great many French
people there, and one hears the Ian
guage continually on the street and in
the cafes. There is large percentage
of the people who are italian, or of
italian blood, and the Vienna German is
not the light blonde of the North so
much as the dark hair, complexion, and
eyes of the South and East. There is a
superabundance of Jews-there is in all
German cities. In Vienna they seem to
crop out more as individuality. Since
the tearing down of the old row of jew
ish houses in Frankfort, the Jew of that
city has become absorbed in the general
population. In Berlin he is individual
lied only as an old clothes buyer on the
street corners, and Jew and Gentle are
commingled ON the street and on the
Bourse. In Vienna, however, they
form more prominent feature of tho
landscape.

ly without delay, pronounces Judgment,
applies the penalty, and goes on in
quest of other delinquents. In these
cases, however, the punishment is of
different character. Notwithstanding
the identity of the crime, he cannot treat
the offending merchant as common
thief; that would have a preiudicial effect
on commerce. The penalty is graduated
thus the mildest corfiscation (; the mod
crate, closing the shop; the severest,
exposure. This last is inflicted in a
singular manner. The culprit is placed
with his back against his shop, and is
compelled to raise himself on his toes
until the weight of his whole body rests
on them, his ear is then nailed to the
door or shutter of his shop. This pun
ishment lasts two, four or six hours. It
is true, the criminal may abridge its
duration whenever he chooses to let him
self down; but the Turkish merchant is
jealous of his reputation, and nothing
but the last necessity would induce him
to resemble a thief by the mutilation of
his ears. AS one gazes upon the wretch
thus nailed up, one is disposed to COM
passionate his case, but Mohammed tells
you that he is an old offender, and if you
should observe his ear closely it would
