EDISON OUT.EDIsONED,

Mr.. Edison had just electrified the world
with his marvellous process of "bOttling
sounds" as the facetious Times puts it, when,
10! here steps forward Prof. Hughes and an
nounces the discovery of the microphone, the
telephones youngest daughter, which has the
power OF magnfying the sound of a fy's foot
step until it seems like the tramp of a horse,
and it's "buzp is as loud as the rosr of an ele-
plant in an Indian Jungle. We see therefore
that music of the spheres may not be an
astronomical myth after all. The London
Telegraph predicts that by the aid of a sufi-
GENTLY sensitive microphone, even Humboldts
apparently visionary suggestion, that the ebb
and flow OF the nourishing sap of plants pro-
duces harmonious sound, may be verified.
Who knows, too, but that it may introduce a
new era in medicine, by revealing that the
human body is an instrument of delicate hsr-
monies, the action of every member-the beat
ing of the heart, the flowing of the blood, the
expansion of the lung tissue, and even those
subtle transitions of brain substance-produc-
ing its own peculiar audible sound, in health
all blending into an exquisite harmonious
rhythm, in disease each member emitting its
own peculiar discordant vibration What an
invaluable aid the microphone would then be
in diagnosis! Whether or not this brilliant
dream will ever be realized, certain it is that
for regulating the harmonious action of the
stom ach and liver, cleansing the delicate ma
chinery of all its impurities, and impartpg a
beautiful, vigorous tone to the whole system,
no remedies now before the public are SO re-
liable as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry and Pleasant Purgative Pellets.

Chapter Nv.
I0LE AGAIN.

Eurytus gave special fete and grand
archery meeting in honor of his daughters
birthday. Iole was eighteen, and the father
declared that she should be the prize of the
most skillful toxophlite. 1t was an arrange
ment that suited him well; for the entrance
fee was high and the number of suitors and
shooters large. But Iole was not pleased:
for in her memory still fingered vision of
Hercules. He was man compared with
whom all others were pigmies. She loved
him and could love none other. He was so
handsome and so great; and these men she
saw around were so horribly ugly and under
sized, with names no one had ever heard of.
He who was reputed the best shot had any
thing but winning ways, and the look of him
made Iole feel unwell,
The archers were all assembled upon the
the lawn. and Iole, pale and sad was seated
upon dais, whence she looked round dis
consoately on her admirers. The number
increased as the time for the contest an
preached. The King was in great glee, for
his carpet-bag was full of collected fees,
Presently bell rang, and the King cried in
joyous voice, "Fire away"
The toXophilites rushed to the scratch, and
lole gave sigh of relief as the crowd of ugly
men left her. The next moment she heard
at curious to remark that this strange freak is
frequently observed at the present day.

Chapter HI.
DEIANIRA.

Omphale may have died, or Hercules may
have made mistake. That makes no differ
ence to history; and the fact is to be told that
he left Lydia and Omphale, and married De-
ianira. l do not think he would have done
so had it not been that Achelous wished to
get her. We'll, having married her, he had to
take her with him. But he was not very
anxious about her; for when they came to
the swollen Evenus, he left her to be carried
across by Nessus, instead of taking her in his
own arms. II any one could carry her over
safely, it was Hercules; but the rational pre-
sumption is that he did not care for Deianira,
and only wanted her when there was
chance OF losing her. He sat down moodily
on the bank, LAYING himself amid the stream,
and watched Nessus with Deianira.
Now, it happened that Nessus was an old
admlrer OF Deianira; and no sooner was her
husbands back turned than he began to
talk to her; and as he spoke he artfully walk
ed along the margin of the river instead of
across it, every moment increasing the dis
lance between himself and Hercules.
20, Deianira," said he,do you remember
me-Nessus, the son of IXion %

me to. wanted too much happiness and

none save Iole."
'Iole! who is she?''
"The daughter of Eurytus."

mo. but you are dragging my skirts in the
water"
ION, let me take you from here! Let me
fly with you, or rather let me swim to sub
terraneous path by which we may escape
your husband"
"What! leave my husband when know
he loves another woman Never! I'll stick to
himr'
.INay, then, will carry you off by force"
81 will kick"
81 will drop you in the water"
Deianira thought of her wedding robes and
shrieked at the prospect of their being spoiled.
Hercules heard her scream; and seeing that
there was possibility of Deianira being tax
en- from him, he became interested in secur-
ing her, dead or alive. He drew his bow and
shot an arrow at the distant group. The
bolt stuck into Nessus
81 am hit; die," he cried.
"Don't die in the middle of this river, for
heavens sake. Get on shore, dop'
son one condition. Avenge nv dea tn
upon Hercules"
Deianira thought of Iole, and of the fifty
two wives, and said,
"To oblige you, will"
Then Nessus carried her to shore and died !;
and with his last breath he prescribed pun
ishment for Hercules.
