FABLE OF THE BEAR AND Fox.-A
Bear boasted of his love for man, say
ing that he never worried or disturbed
him when dead. The Fox observed
with q smile, II should have thouht
more of your profession if you never
ate him alive" Moral: Better save a
man from dying, than save him when
dead. How true of man is that maxim
to this Gay. Men and women, here,
there, everywhere, deplore and lament
death-b bed scenes, yet pay so little at
tention to each others welfare during
life. All tears after death, but no smiles
before. The health of wives and daugh
ters is shattered, and their lives i'm
p~erilled by some chronic female COM
plant, which is permitted to continue
uutil the whole constitution is broken
down. Don't procrastinate until these
poor creatures are dead, but 60 to work
now and work continuously until they
are cured. DR.. Dromgoole's ENGLlsH

stop in the house Of St. Lazarus or

copied the example Of Venice
the hcbit was soon spread into
every European country. and was
introduced by the Venetians into
Syria and Egypt. At GAIA or
Beyrout the guardian who former
ly. with a long pole freely exer'
cised, kept one denizen of the La

WANTED an NTRODUC.
ITO ~.

On recent trip Of one Of the
up river steamer about twenty
couples Of ladies and gentlemen
formed and excursion party, and
the cabin presented quite a So
cable and pleasing appearance.
There were, too, several ladies
who had but one escort. There
was also a drummer on the boat,
and not being acquainted he felt
lonesome and couldn't bear the
idea Of not getting acquainted
with some of the charming ladies.
BE was anxious to be introduced
to the group who seemingly had
bnt one escort, and went to Clerk
Watt, asking him to do the intro
ducing. The clerk said he was
not acquainted himself. but moth
ing would give him more pleasure
than to give the irrepressible com
mercial tourist an introduction to
the escort of the attractive ladies.
He made him acquainted with a
man weighing $50 pounds, and af-
ter the two had gone through the
,fprmalities of an introduction, the
fat man told the drummer that it
was a mistake about his being the
escort Of the ladies. "But," said
the fat man, Il will show you the
man who is. Do you see that per,
son sitting down thare2 He is the
escort of the ladies. Hes a little
deaf, though, and you will have to
talk loud to him."
The travelling man went over,
and, after bowling to the supposed
human being and stating his bust
ness with him, discovered that he
was merely addressing a dummy"
and, of course those who watched
the fun broke out in a loud laugh.
The drummer wanted to fight
somebody on the spot, but finally
came to the conclusion hat discre-
ton was the better part of valor.
BE quietly withdrew to the harri-
cane deck, and wondered how he
came 10 be so easily fooled.

purchase of land in Pennsylvania.

secured $4,000 acres where Ger;

migrants, thirteen families, making
fifty persons in all, arrived ami
settled upon 500 acres of the
