uralists all over the world. This &C.,
centic animal, when still q gosling,
abandoned its flock, dismissed all re-
collection Of infancy, repudiated the
conventional views and habits of
geese, and boldly marching in the
barracks of an Uhlan regiment, sta.
toned itself one fine day next to the
sentry box. Touched by the predi-
LECTION for their corps, the Uhlans
erected q, shed for the goose, and for
twenty-three years neither threats
nor persuasion have been able to
separate the martial bird from its
adopted regiment for any great
length of time. 1t, has at different
times changed quarters with the
corps from Esslingen t1UIm, thence
to Ludwigsburg, and back again to
Ulm. Ia il3
When 1.-The Ublans went to 6gh,
for their country the forsaken and
desolate goose took up for the time
with a battalion, of infantry; but nc
sooner did the first Uhlans reenter
the town than the goose marched
ont to meet them, and returned with
them to her old quarters. She ha'
now been stuffed, and is to be seer

Symptoms of DiseasedLiver.
DA1N in the right side, under the
l 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-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with aadull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss Of MEM
ory, accompanied with a 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 cod 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, yet
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.

Behind our Masks.


If we could only read each others
hearts, we should be kinder to each
other. II we knew the woes and bitter
ness and physical ~annoyances of our
neighbors, we should make allowances
for them which we do not now. We
go about masked, uttering stereotyped
sentiments, hiding our heart-pangs
and our headaches as carefully as we
can and yet we wonder that others do
not discover them by intuition. We
cover our best feelings from the light
we do not so conceal our sentiments
and dislikes, of which we are prone to
be proud. Often two people sit close
together, with 81 love youn in either
heart, and neither knows it. Either
thinks, II could be fond but what
use of wasting fondness on n who
does not care for it ?" and so they
part, and go their ways alone. Life is
a masquerade, at which few unmask,
even unto their very dearest. And
though there is need of much masking,
would to heaven we dared show plainly
our real face; from birth to death, for
then some few, at least, would truly
love each other.
