Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.

DAM in the right side. under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade. and
it frequently extends to the top OF the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom-
ach is affected with loss OF appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax: the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with dull, heavy sem
sation in the back part. There is gen.
orally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undonc something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of WEAKNESS
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet arc cold or burning, and he COM
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial TO him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitudc enough to try it..
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed. yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the LIVER to have been extern
sively derangcd.

ing surface like gold; was seen
dropping from the furnaces OF the
middle ages, or melted in rich
flakes from their walls.
Two magicians, or philosophers
at last detected the error OF ages,
and Albertus Magnus and Paracel-
us probably both discovered that
zinc was as indestructible and as
free from foreign substances as gold.
1t seemed a pure element. Para
celus, who was fond of penetrat-
ing to the source of things, admits
that he could not tell how the
bright metal grew; nor in the
height of their magic renown was
it ever forseen that the rare sub
stance the sorcerers had discovered
would one day shed knowledge in
tongues of fire from London to ia
pan.
Two centuries followed, during
which no metallic substance was
discovered. Paracelsus found no
successor Albertus, almost the
first man of science in Europe,
was remembered only as a sorcer-
err. 1t was not until 1873 that the
vast field of metallic discovery be-
gan to open upon man. Two val
liable and well known metals, plat
mum and nickel, among several
others, first appeared about the
middle of the eighteenth century
The number of the metals now
rapidly enlarged; galvanism len
its aid to dissolve the hardest
earths and at length, in the open
ing of the nineteenth century,
cluster of brilliant discoverie'
aroused the curiosity of science.
Each eminent philosopher seem
ed to produce new metals. Der
zelius discovered three; Davy, tn
Paracelcus of his age, is the scien
tilic parent of five, potassium, so
dunn, barium, strontium, and cal
blum. The numbers advanced, IN
til already more than fifty metal

given to the arts. The new exper

Live for Something.

Live for something, if it be ever
so little. Better to accomplish
something than nothing. Better
to look back on the little you have
done than sigh over wasted hours
and misspent time. There is work
for every one to do, and he who Ia
bors with willing heart and hand
will one day reap the reward Of his
labor.
Live for something. Let every
leaf in the volume Of the year bear
some mark of yours upon its pages.
Let every turn of Times old iron
wheel give some account of well
spent-days. Live so that your vir-
tues will excel your vices, and
shine brighter and brighter as the
years grow less and less. Live so
that you can look to the past with
out regretting that you have done
too little in this life. Labor for
something noble and praiseworthy.
Live so that in passing from this to
another shore you will leave behind
you
Footprints on the sands of Time"
Live for something. There is no
one but what can do some good
no one who need say, 81 can ac-
complish nothing,"-none who need
spend their days in idleness. Life
is a blank book, every page of
which must bear something worthy
of record or blot that can never
he erased. Then be mindful what
you leave upon its leaves for it
will tell in time and eternity what
you have lived for, and He who
keeps record of our deeds will re-
ward us accordingly.

PROUD AND LAZY LASsEs.

The world Is bored with silly pride,
As well as lazy lasses,
Who raise their noses with disdain
At all the working classes.
/ won der they are not too proud
To own their great Creator,
For being ''mean" enough 10 work,
And thus become THEN maker.
Work built the palaces they own,
Provides their daily breading,
And yet they think contempt for work.
As proof of their good breeding.
Girls let their mothers toll and slave,
That they may play the ladies.
Will such poor things their duty do
To their poor little babies.
They keep their parties quite select,
Yet oft they dread Il panic,
And thank their stars that they escape
"The smell of the mechanic"
God help the man who for wife
Gets one of these fair ladies';
No wonder II her husband courts
The girls that nurse the babies.
Young college gents talk knowingly
OF the "old man" and "old woman"
As if old folks were common clay,
And young folks superhuman.
God save the world from learned dolls,
From proud and lazy lasses,
Who raise their nose in proud disdain
At all the working classes.

Seven Metals.

In the discovery or the metals
men first asserted their mastery
over nature; yet the discovery is
still progressing. Before the flf-
teenth century only seven were
positively known. They were each
held sacred among the ancients to
some ruling deity. Gold, indie
structible, malleable, the richest in
coloring, the most precious of de-
corations, was consecrated to Jn-
piter, or the sun, and had already
assumed the supremacy which it
has never lost. 1t was coined into
:he heavy darics of Persia and the
aureus of imperial Rome. 1t was
to gid temples and statues, was
wrought into rich jewelry, and
woven in delicate threads that en-
livened the lowered stuffs of Baby
Ion.
Gold mines and gold bearing
streams were found in Arabia,
Syria, Greece, Italy, and Spain,
and the pursuit of the precious
metal was carried on with various
success by countless throngs of
miners. The richest mines, at
least in later ages, were those of
Spain, and the enormous produc-
tiveness of the Spanish soil was
slowly exhausted by the sncces-
sive labors of the Carthaginians
and the Romans. So successful
was their industry that but little
gold or silver can now be found in
territory where the precious
metal once lay scattered in bound
less profusion on the surface of the
earth.
Silver ranked next to gold, and
was named from the soft light of
the moon. The richest silver mines
were those of Spain. 1t was
wrought into cups, vases, lamps,
adorned the helmets and shields of
warriors, and formed the costly
mirrors with which the Roman
ladies shocked the austerity of Lac
tantius or Jerome. The beautiful
silver coins Of the Greek and Ro-
man cities fill modern collections.
Five other metals, iron, copper,
mercury, lead, and tin, were en-
ployed by the ancients for various
purposes; they made steel by a
rude process, and brass without
discovering zinc.
For many ages no addition was
made to the sacred seven. Three
thousand years passed away be-
fore IL was suspected that the num-
Der could be increased-a memo
rable example of the slowness OF
human apprehension. At length,
in 1890, anthony was added to the
metallic family; and not far off
from the period Of the discovery
OF New World the chemists were
about to enter upon fresh fields Of
science scarcely less boundless or
inviting.
A second metal, bismuth, came
in almost with the Reformation.
Zinc, perhaps the most important
Of the new family, may have pre-
ceded the others; it was certainly
described long before. It is, in
deed, quite curious to notice how
the bright metal had been con-
staDtly forcing itself upon the at
tention Of careful observers, and
had yet been wholly overlooked
