The Irishman who thought the druggist
stingy because the emetic was so small, is
only surpassed in his parsimonious drollery
by those who persistently adhere to the use
of tho Sc nauseating, disgustingly large and
drastic pills, while DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Purgative Pellets, which are sugar-coated, and
little larger than mustard seeds, will, by their
steady and gentle action on the liver, correct
all torpidity, thus permanently overcoming g
constipation. In South America they have
almost entirely superseded all other pills,
and are relied on fully by the people, and
often used as a preventive of the various
affections of the stomach, liver, and bowels,

4 Bishops Experience.


The following anecdote, in which |
Bishop Simpson figures quite conspicu-
ously. will be read with interest. Soon
after his election to the Episcopacy, in
1852, he arrived at Lancaster On Sat
urday afternoon. On Sunday morning
he set out from his hotel to find the
Methodist Church. On his way he in
ouired of one of the members about the
church, and the information was elected
that the Bishop preached sometimes.
He was introduced in the vestibule to
Mr.. Bishop, the pastor, as Brother Simp-
son. local preacher from Pittsburg.
Mr.. Bishop asked if he would preach for
him, and on receiving reply in the
affirmative, the pastor, fearing failure,
said that it would be better for him to
preach in the evening, and that he would
make the announcement in the morning.
The Bishop, diyining the cause, declined,
tation. The manner in which the open
ing exercises were conducted relieved
the pastor from his apprehensions. A
heavenly influence rested on the congra-
CATION, and every soul was melted and
carried away on tide of exultant joy.
Mr.. Bishop felt that after such a torrent
of eloquence he could not close with
prayer. While the collection was being
taken up the following colloquy took
place: care you travelling preacher?'

several years, and now travela very large

burg, but cannot say that l am at

"What did you say your name was ?
"Simpson.' Simpson! Not Bishop
Simpson ?' "Why, they call me Bishol

Bishop rose and exclaimed, "I have tn
pleasure to announce to tie congregs

adressed US this morning is Bishop SimI

Remarkable Phi Osa.


Two miles southwest OF Milneburg,
and about a half mile from Lake
Pontchartrain, there occurred on Fri
day night most wonderful phenom-
enon. The earth for about thirty
acres became suddenly depressed, sink
ing fully thirty feet, and trees on the
margin tumbled into the chasm, When
there, on Saturday evening, very dis
tinct rumbling noise could be heard at
intervals, whilst in the center of the
cave flashes Of light sprang up to the
height of fifteen or twenty feet. A
sulphurous odor is so strong on the mar
gin of the chasm that it is approached
with difficulty, and is perceptible at the
distance of mile from the spot. Where
fore is this, and what does it mean? |

Can it be, by some sudden cosvu!sion
in the internal construction of the earth,
that vacuum has been created so near
into which the waters of the Atlantic

phenomenon, to which 1 merely call
