THE PUN PAIN.

Oh, queenly and fair In the land of the sun
The vines of the gourd and the rich melon
run,
And the rock and the trees and the cottage
enfold
With broad leaves all greenuess, and bios
soms all gold.
Like that which DER Nneveh's prophet
While he waited to know II his warning
Aud lopged for the storm-cloud, and listened
In vain
For the rush OF the whirlwind and red fire.
rain.
On the banks OF the Zenil the dark Spanish
Comes up with the fruit OF the tangled vine
laden;
And the Creole Of Cuba laughs out to be-
hold
Thro' orange leaves shining the broad
spheres of gold;
Yet with dearer delight from his home in
the North,
On the fields Of his harvest the Yankee
looks forth
Where crook-necks are coiling and yellow
fruit shines,
And the sun OF September melts down on
his vines.
Ali on Thanksgiving Day, when from East
and from West,
From North and from South, come the pill
grim and guest
When the gray-haired New Highlander sees
round his board
The old, broken links of affection restored,
When the care.wearied man sees his mother
once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the girl
smiled before,
What moistens the lip and brightens the
eye?
What calls back the past like the rich pump
kin piep
Oh, fruit loved Of boyhood-the old days
recalling,
When wood grapes were purpllng and
brown nuts were falling,
When wild, ugly faces wecarved In its skin,
Glaring out through the dark with candle
withinl
When We laughed round the corn-heap with
hearts all in tune,
Our chair q broad pumpkin, our lantern
the moon,
Telling tales of the fairy who Travelled like
steam
In pumkin-shell COACH with two rats for
team.

HUMAN TENANTS,
The Millions of Animals That Live in
Nearly Every Human BODY.

NeHriN Every human BOuy.
Have you ever looked through a micro
scope at drop Of stagnant water, aud II so
did you not notice an army of animals that
were swimming around In It? And did you
know that the blood that circulates In human
veins composed efiniluite numbers OF small
corpuscles that resemble animals? Aud did
you also know that when anything poison
Gus gets into the blood II becomes Just like
stagnant water, full Of living animals that
feed upon each other and upon the blood
itself9 And yet not one person in I'll fly Is
free from blood poisoning in some form or
other. Every moment of the life, whether
awake or asleep, a million poisonous ami
mails, invisible to the naked eye, are feeding
upon the very elements that make and sls-
tain life. This terrible fact not only ac-
counts for many diseases, but shows the
absolute necessity Of driving this army OF
animals out of the body by some gentle yet
powerful agent that will awaken the energy
OF the system, and put pure, rich, health
giving blood In their place.
A well-known gentleman In Washington
was for years troubled with loss OF appe-
lite, faintness at the pit of the stomach,
nervousness, sleeplessness, dull headaches
and various other symptoms, which inter
fered with his important duties aud made
life burden. Physicians could not tell
nlfn Wnab tne trOuDlc was, Dut through the
urgent solicitation OF a friend, he at last
tried new course OF treatment, discovered
that his blood was impure, and he Is well
to-day wholly through the use of Voina
Cordial, the remedy which is becoming so
popular and Is attracting such widespread
attention from scientific people and phys-
clans. The chemists who have analyzed
Vollna Coldial find that II not only CON
tains the purest elements, but is such that
II will drive impurities from tho system
and place the body in condition where II
can be thoroughly cured aud retain health
When we consider the terrible amount Of
poison that is in the blood, that is dragging
down SO many thousands of people to un.
timely graves; when we see the losses which
1t brings to business men, professional men
and heads Of families because they are un-
able to attend to their duties, and when we
reflect upon the innumerable numbers of
mothers and children on whom it has cast
it's taint, we are not only compelled to feel
a sense of sadness, but to hail with rejoic-
ing anything which comes unheralded, like
Nolina Cordial, to purify the blood, drive
out disease and bring vigor and health.

On Monday evening, in the House
of Commons, MIR. Gladstone moved
the second reading of the Irish bill
He clearly declared that no form
of retention Of Irish representatives
in in the Imperial Parliament that
would interfere with tho right OF the
right of tho Irish Parliament to deal
independently with exclusively Irish
affairs or with the exclusive control
of tho Irish legislature over internal
administration could be listened to
by the government. This leaves the
door open to any proposal 1t may be
thought proper to make within the
limit defined, and deprives tho boil
tors ofths only excuse they have for
barring the progress Of the bill to
tho committee stage. This has, how
ever, failed to reconcile Mr.. Cham
berlain, who still strongly opposes
the bill. General opinion points tt
its rejection.

The following general rules will
apply in the selection Of calves to be
raised for dairy cows:-Ths head
should not be overlarge, the neck
thin rather than thick, and the skin
possessing a soft feel that can only
be judged by an expert. Look to the
escutcheon and milk veins. These
are as good indications Of character
as the pedigree.
