Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAN 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
stomach IS affected with loss of appe-
lite and sickness the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part . There is
generally considerable loss of men,
DRY, accompanied with painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing 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 are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer.
else would be beneficial to him, vet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
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 ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. MCLANE's LIVER PILLS. IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.
BEWARE OF LIMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has red wax seal on the lid,
with the impression DR., MCLANE's Liver
PILLS.
The genuine McLANE's LIVER PILLS bear
the signatures of c. MCLANE and FLEMING

ing Bros, of Pittsburgh, Pa, the market being
full of limitations of the name McL1ne.

LIFES LONGINGS.
A child ran laughing on the beach,
The sur shone warm and bright
Upon her waving golden hair,
Her tiny form so slight.
81 wonder why the worlds so fair,
So fu!l Of sun and song,
wonder why big folks don't laugh
And play the whole day long
A maid was walking on the strand,
She gazed far cut TO sea;
Where, o'er the sun'it waters rode
bark so gallanily.
"Ah, love is coming over the waves,
Is coming soon to me,
wonder how, in this sweet world
Old folks such shadows see."
A woman stood upon the shore,
Her eyes with weeping rcd,
Looked sadly on the cruel sea
That never gave up its dead.
IL wonder why this world was made
So dark and full Of care,
No wonder that life's burden seems
Too great for one to bear"
Near by the windows ledge there sat
A granddame, old and gray
The window looking out to sea,
Where ships at anchor lay.
II wonder when mine eyes shall see
Lies ship at anchor lie,
Within Gods harbor peacefully
For all eternity"

Judge Wendell went fishing
near Truckee, Cal. The stream
was almost dry, and he could
walk over its rocky bed between
the pools. lie sat down on a
boulder and dropped his line in
TO pool. Suddenly he heard
"a tremendous roar. Looking
up stream, he saw a vast body
of water, eight feet high, rush
ing down upon him. A dam
had broken away. lie ran as
fast as he could, yet not very
swiftly, being fat and short leg
ged. The water quickly over
took him and carried him near
ly a quarter of a mile, finally
throwing him on the bank SO
nearly drowned that he was

Too Much of 1t.

a circus manager tells this
story:
| went to Houston, Texas,
where | met with a clever old
fellow who had been a cook in
Maximilian's army and who was
doing little tricks along the road.
i got him and two other per-
formers and a violin player and
we started to travel through
Texas, giving performances in
the little towns, in stores, church
es, etc. After a while we reach
ed Nayasota, little town filled
with big Texas bushwhackers
who bring in cotton to ship by
rail. We showed in the second
story over a store, and crowds
came to see Maximilian's trick of
having a pistol shot at him and
catching the bullet in his mouth.
Of course it was a trick pistol
that was used. Well, every
thing was moving along smooth
ly, and we were making money
until one day great strapping
bushwhacker happened in. He
watched the pistol tricks to the
end, then suddenly drawing from
his belt a pistol about the size of
a young howitzer, called out,
Now, see if you can catch this
bullet, you old duffer,' and fired.
The bullet went crashing through
poor Max's checks, carrying a.
way half Il dozen teeth and break
ing his jaw. He was stunned
for a moment, but as soon as he
recovered started of on the dead |
run, holding his bleeding jaws
in his hand, and l have never
seen him since. This broke up
our combination. / concluded ] |

one year, and SO came on East

A poor Irishman at Rochester,
n. Y, owed a rich man some
money, and was unable to pay.
The rich man obtained a judg-
ment and an execution, but
there was nothing OH which the
sheriff could levy. The Irish
man bad two large pigs, but tho
law allows man two, and the
sheriff could not take them.
The rich man then bought two
little pigs, had them presented
TO the lrishman, and thereupon
took his two large ones.

s5- Men who have made for
tunes are not those who had five
thousand dollars given them to
start with, but started with a
well-earned dollar or two. Men
who have by their own exertions
acquired fame have not been
thrust into popularity by puffs
begged or paid for, or given in
friendly spirit. They have out
stretched their hand and touched
the public heart. Men who win
love do their own wooing. If
you work for fame, love, money.
or anything else, work with your
hands, heart and brain.

story suddenly. That's why

the other cars and I'm watching
this myself"
We rode on for a time in si-
lence, l pondering over the
strange story of my friend, which
was to prove such a wonderful
sequel, he with hat pulled over
his eyes, apparently asleep. The
train stopped at several way sta
tons and a number of persons
got in and out, but my friend
appeared to take no notice of
this fact. BY and by he bent
over me and asked quictly:
"Reade, do you see that fine
looking man at the further end
of the carp

man do you mean, with the book
in his hand?"
"The same! Well, he's the
fellow | want. lie got in at the
last station. I've got to arrest
him."
"Not that noble-looking man,
surely" said 1.
"The very one!" he answered
with a smile, as ne rose from his
scat and walked toward him.
My friend laid his hand on the
mans shoulder and said some
thing. The villain sprang quick
ly to his feet and tried to pull
out pistol, but johnson sprang
upon him like a tiger. The con-
drctor came in just here, and
together they overpowered the
rascal. When the train stopped
at the next station, l saw John-
son leading the fellow, hand
cuffed, from the train.
Some time after this / learned
by the newspapers that the
whole gang were convicted, and
my cool friend, the detective,
