Tanner’s etomach now works in its shirt 
sleeves. Its coats are all worn out. 
Ip you find it impossible to raise grass in 
your yard just lay it out in bods and plant 
garden seed. Grass will come up then. 
This is the season of the year when the 
average tourist is reported as returning home 
“ as brown as a berry." By the bye, what kind 
of a berry is it that's brown ? 
“ Och, said a love sick Hibernian, what a 
recreation it is to be dying of love! It sets 
the heart aching bo delicately there’s no taking 
a wink of slape for the puTasure of the pain. 
No woman, however nervous, has a right to 
wake up her husband from a sound Bleep to 
tell him, on Inquiring what’s the matter, 
“ Nothing, only I wanted to know if you were 
awake.” _ 
The negro’s definition of bigotry iB as good 
and as inclusive as that of Webster’s Diction¬ 
ary. "A bigot!" said he, "why he is a man 
who kuows too much for one and not quite 
enough for two." 
"Will you have some strawbeiries ?” asked 
a lady of a guest. " Yes, madam ; I eat straw- 
ben ies with enthusiasm" "Do tell! We 
haven't anything but cream aud sugar for 
them this evening.” 
A fashion paper states that French heels 
are not worn as much as they were last season. 
The French are a peculiar people. But when 
it comes to cutting their heels off for fashion’s 
sake, it’s simply awful. 
Not long ago a new railway was opened in 
the Highlands. A Highlander named Donald 
heard of it, aud bought a ticket for the first 
excursion. The train was about half the dis¬ 
tance to the next station when a collision took 
place, and poor Donald was thrown uncere¬ 
moniously into a park. After recovering his 
sense he made the best of bis way borne, when 
tlie neighbors asked him how be liked his 
drive. ** Ob," replied Donald, " she liked it 
fine, but they bad an awfu’ quick way in puttin’ 
me oot.”

Nothing Wrecks the Constitution 
More effectually than fever and ague. That nerve 
destroying malady, when once It takes Ann root, 
subverts every function, exhaust* the physical 
energies, impoverishes the blood and clouds the 
mental faculties. No effectual resistance can be 
offered to its destructive career hy the use of the 
pernicious drug, quinine, nostetter’s Bitters will, 
however, be found all sufficient either for Its erad¬ 
ication or prevention. Those conditions of the 
system, such as a bilious, constipated habit, or 
lack of vitality, which are favorable to the con¬ 
traction of the disease, are speedily reformed by 
this pure and efficient alterative and ffivlgoraut, 
which not only regulates the system, but gives a 
healthful Impulse to the various organs, whose ac¬
