that no engine could pump the well

south of the present business street.

SONGS NEVER SUNG.

said your representative. 1.-THE poet alludes to
people who are somehow suppressed, and never
get their full allowance Of joy and air. Which
reminds me of letter shown me the other day
by HIsCoX IL Co., of New York, signed by Mr..
Pa, a prominent business man Of that place.
He writes:
81 have suffered with asthma for over forty
years, and had terrible attack in December
and January, 1852. 1 hardly know what
prompted me to take PARKER'S Tonic. did
So and the first day took four doses. The
effect astonished me. That night 1 slept as il
nothing was the matter with me, and have
ever since. l have had colds since, but no
asthma. My breathing is now as perfect as IL
1 had never known that disease. If you know
OF any one who has the asthma tell him in my
name that PARKER's Tonic will cure it--eyen
after forty years." There was man who es.
capped the fate of those whom the poet laments.
This preparation, which has heretofore been
known as PARKER'S GINGER Tonic, will here
after be advertised and sold under the name OF
PARKERs TONIC. Inasmuch rs ginger is really
an unimportant ingredient, and unprincipled
dealers are constantly deceiving their customers
by substituting inferior preparations under the
name Of ginger, we drop the misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the prepare
ton itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands of dealers, wrapped under the name OF
PARKERS GINGER Tonic contain the genuine
medicine if the facsimile signature of HISCoX
Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper.

SMordsmen of the naen.

Imagine whales fencing with one
another for amusement
1t seems as if such thing could not
be; and yet there are whales of a certain
species which not only fence with one
another, but use their teeth for swords.
1t is the narwhal that fences. One of
the teeth of the male narwhal always
grows through the upper lip and stands
out like spear, straight in front of the
animal.
1t seems as if all the material that
should have gone to fill the narwahl's
mouth with teeth had gone to the one
tooth that grows out through the lip; for
sometimes this tooth is eight feet long
The animal itself, from head to tail, is
seldom more than sixteen feet in length
Of what use such an enormous tooth
is to the narwhal no one knows. Some
persons say it is used for spearing fish; /;
others, that its use is to stir up the mud
in the bottom of the ocean in order to
scare out the fish that may be hiding
there; and one man says the tooth is for
the purpose of breaking holes in the ice
in winter; for the narwhal, like all
whales, IS obliged to come to the surface
at intervals to breathe
Whatever the tooth is intended to be
used for, it is certain that when the mar
whal wishes to play it finds another mar
whal of like mind, and away they
charge at each other TIL the long tooth
swords clash together
They are active as well as frolicsome.
and sailors tell of seeing them crossing
swords in this way, thrusting and parry
ing, and rolling and darting about with
marvellous agility and grace.
The narvhal is light grayin color, and
covered with black spots. For a great
many reasons it is valued by the Green
landers. 1t furnishes very fine quality
of OIL its flesh is used for food, and its
skin, made into jelly, and called mattak,
is considered dainty too choice for
ordinary occasions.
This "swordsman of the Deep" as
have called HIM, is a warm blooded ami
NAL, and must not be confounded with
the saw-fsh or sword fish, both of which
are entirely different from the narwhal. -
