Going A.Nuttlne.

Golden October, with its mellow sun
shine-it has been very mellow during
the past week-its crispy frosts, the dewy
delicious mornings, and the hazy, dreamy
afternoons bring back recollections of
youth. If that "sp:ingtime" was passed
in the country, the autumn brings mem

corn-felds and the hickories,. of gather.
ing ferns and bright colored leaves with
the girls, of fishing and cunning, and
best of al, "going a-nutting.'t The boy
who never gotta lickin'" for tearing
his trousers on the ugly " shag-bark;"
who has never sat under the beeches and
crunched the triangular little nuts that
the wild turkeys love so we'll; who has
never been frightened half to death by
the farmer whose young walnuts he was
clubbing and stoning, who has never
worn his hands in mahogany for weeks
arter q walnut "shuck;" who never
pounded his thumb to jelly in his
efforts to crack a butternut on end; who
does not know a soft-shelled hickory
from bitte1nut, is to be pitied. For II

that may be, he has gone by days that
will never return; he has missed an ex.

a Meteor a. Was q Meteor.

Ages and ages ago great meteor fell
in China, in the province of Che Keang.
It came from the heavens in slantine
direction, and was apparently so feet in
diameter. It lighted the country for a
distance of 200 or 800 miles about. It
did not explode, but passed into the
ground entire. It buried itself into q
spur of the Nenling mountains. On
slope of the mountain it entered was q
large village. The meteor passed over
this village at height of about half a
mile, and 80 great was the heat from it
that all the buildings in the place burst
into flames simultaneously. All the
people in the town were roasted, and
many in the country in the track of the
meteor between the town and the face of
the mountain. The erolite made an i'm
mense hole in the side of the mountain,
out of which issued flames for several
days; then great volumes Of steam pour
ed forth, and, finally, q large stream of
water. The stream of water is still
flowing at the present time, and forms
one of the tributaries of river that
enters the sea near Ningpo.

An Inventive Genius Sad End

A respectable elderly man committed
suicide by throwing himself before the
Northern Express the other day in Eng.
land. In his lodgings were found very
curious model of flying machine, pro.
nounced by an expert, who had wasted
midnight oil on the aerial mystery, to
realize the most promising theory Of sky
sailing. There was also a locomotive
model, the working principle of which
was electricity, with elaborate notes for
its full construction. An attempt to
solve the problem of perpetual motion,
more ingenious then the screw of Archi-
medes, but equally futile, was catalogued.
The lists of mechanical attempts, too
numerous to give, included an improved
safety lamp, an air gun intended to SUI
persede air guns. and wonderful clever
Continuance capable of being transform.
ed into bed, chair, table, or a box,
and equally serviceable in either shape.
The Emperor Napoleon encouraged him,
but his downfall burst him. The relics
are his landlady's for long arrears.

amusing account of the audacitv of q
band of these European tramps who en-
camped near that place, made havoc

only to superior force.

tic medicine that can be employed : cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
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-
tions 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 baff1ed 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 inflamed'
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the clements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calome
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills ma.
be taken with safety by anybody. Thei
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arisf
from their use in any quantity.
