AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter Of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafned the best OF
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, At the same time, the
safest and best physic for children: BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infiamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood.
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
ugar-coating preserves them ever fresh
and makes them pleasant to take: while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

A Remarkable Tragedy.
An extraordinary tragedy was en-

An extraordinary tragedy was enacted
j short time ago at Schwelm, in Prus
san Wcstphalia. Two lads OF thirteen
and sixteen, whose father and mother
had died a few months since, and after
their bereavement had lived with their
maternal grandfather, were found on the
thirtieth of July dead and horribly mu-
tilated in their bedrooms. From the
text Of Il written declaration found on a
table in the room, and signed by the
elder boy, it appeared that both lads had
resolved to die, finding life unendur-
able without their parents: and had con-
certed the means of their death, and
having set down upon paper their
wishes with respect to the dispos al o
their clothes, hooks, and p~laythings,
the elder boy had shattered his brothers
head with a hammer, using such force
that the unfortunate child's skull was
beaten in and his blains scattered over
the floor. After deliberately slaughter
ing his brother, the youthful murderer
took poison, opened the veins in his
wrist with n razor, and discharged q
bullet into his forehead from a revolver.
The grandfather of these wrctched lads
was absent from home upon Il business
trip Mt the time of the catastrophe. and
the elder boy had sent all Of the servants
out, of the house before commencing his
deadly operations. Consequently the
dire deed was not suspected until next
morning, when the housekeeper knocked
at the door of the room in which the
brothers slept together, and, obtaining
no answer, fetched a locksmith to pick
the lock, and upon obtaining access to
the bedroom. found her young masters
dead and cold, weltering in their own
blood. Had they lived to years Of dis
erection, they would both have become
possessed Of ample means; and, oddly
enough, though they had taken extra
ordinary pains to dispose of their child
ish belongings, no mention was made by
either of them in the document found
upon their table of the considerable in
hcritance to which they would have
been entitled upon coming of age. 1t
appears that they were exceptionally
amiaLle children, dotted upon by their
old grandfather, and extremely popular
among their school mates.-Londo"

The Daguerreotype.

OF all the sun pictures ever taken the
daguerreotype was the most truly artis-
tic and the best. They r all out of
date now, and the generation now in its
teens never see them unless some of their
elders take an old faded case from its
safe seclusion and show it to them, but
time w Then there was as much skill,
and care devoted to taking daguerreo-
types as is now given to photographs on
paper. The surface, FURNISHED silver,
was absolutely perfect, and, when a light
background was employ ed, in order to
get rid of the mirror-like effect, they
had delicacy, a depth and an accuracy
o. detail which the best photograph Of
to-day cannot approach, even. It is a
pity that they have gone so completely
out of vogue-a greater pity that there
is so little prospect of their coming in
again. They were supplanted by the
ambrotype, the --LATEST and NEST uAsat-
isfactory picture ever taken, whose only
advantage was its cheapness, and this in
turn gave place to the photograph,
cheaper still, and with the added ad-
vantage of indefinite multiplication.
