DURABLE AND INCURABLE.

In Beckford's Hall of Eblis, the crowd is
represented as running around, each man
with an incurable wound on his bosom, and
agrees not to speak of it. How many there
are all around us that have the painful and
wearisome symptoms Of kidney or liver
disease, but are kept by false delicacy
from speaking of it. But the disease is re-
strained by no such feeling of delicacy, but
silently and insidiously works on in the
dark, until the patient is compelled to call
in aid. How much better to take it in
time, and secure Hunts Remedy, the great
kidney medicine, and give the disease its
death blow in its very beginning. This is
the one medicine that can search out, and
root out, every i'll OF kidney or liver, end
that cures cases that seem lncurabie. ~

No other name, though in vain look,

One idle Summer day.
As though her thoughts were not on her

What was in that idle, dreaming heart?

Her warm and fragrant wealth of hair,
And hear her restless signs,

And traced her own sweet name.

Caught ia a Bears Cave.

Mr.. Ball, letter carrier, III Augusta,
recently made hunting excursion in
New Brunswick. Ina letter to friend
he said | cannot close this epis-
tie without telling of a little close rub l
have had since here, though you may
think am exercising a Yankee prlvi-
lege of Dragging When out in the for
est about twenty miles from town, l
came across a camp of Frenchmen,
where hired young boy to guide me
into the woods. About two hours after
we started we came to a cave, and l
sent the boy in out of curiosity. He
called out there were some bear cubs
inside. Just as he did 50 l heard q
crashing and growing beside me, and
had just time to bring my trus y rife to
my shoulder and fire at black mass
that tumbled past me, and as it plunged
into the mouth OF the cave I realized
Bruiu had come back. | don't know
how ever did, it, but have an indis-
tinct IT collection of dropping my gun,
drawing my bowie-knife and jumping
into the dense darkness of the cave.
1t is as -horribie-and like o
nightmare, in which everything is mixed.
I remember plunging my knife again
and again into the body, the warm jet Of
blood, the tearing of claws across my
body the hot breath in my face, a close
enbrace--th darkness.
When revived / was lying outside
the cave and the Frenchmen were cut
ting up the monster, which weighed,
when dressed, 45O pounds. Petit Pierre,
my guide, had been i'll the cave
during the combat, and when the
bear fell on me in his death struggle he
crawled out of the cave and ran back to
camp. l am all light, or shall be when
the marks of the brute's claws are
healed. / shall bring his skin back
with me, and l wish I could give you q
piece of the beef.
