A W ise Answer.
Some of the fancies of the Jewish Tal
mud are very witty and neat. Particularly
so are those short apothegms which illus
trate or defend some attribute of God by
answering an infidel’s objection. The fol
lowing is a perfect specimen of Oriental re
tort :
A prince once said to R.vhhi Gamaliel,
“ Your God is a thief; he surprised Adam
in his sleep, and stole a rib from him.”
The Rabbi's daughter overheard this
speech, and whispered a word or two in her
father’s ear, asking his permission to an
swer this singular opinion herself, lie
gave his consent.
The girl stepped forward, and feigning
terror and dismay, threw her arms aloft in
supplication, ami cried out:
“ My liege, my liege, justice ! revenge P
“ What has happened?” asked the prince,
“ A wicked theft has taken place,” she
replied ; "a robber has crept secretly into
our house, carried away a silver goblet,
and left a gold one in its stead !”
“ What an upright thief!” exclaimed the
prince. “ Would that such robberies were
of more frequent occurrence !”
“ Heboid, then, sire, the kind of thief
that our Creator was : he stole a rib from
Adam, and gave him a beautiful wife in
stead.”
“ Well said !” avowed the prince.
Solomon and l.ll’e Insurance.
Burlington Havkeyt.
One day, just after King Solomon had
written a column of solid nonpareil wise
and moral proverbs, he took his eldest son
by the elbow, led him down the back stairs
of the palace, through the back yard, past
the woodshed, out into the alley, backed
him up behind Ahithophel’s wood pile,
looked warily around to see that no one
was listening, and whispered into the young
man’s ear : “My son, a little office in a
spread-eagle life insurance company is bet
ter than a cart load of preferred stock in
the Ophir mines.” And then the monarch
threw bis head on one side, drew up his
chin, shut one eye’ and gazed at his off
spring in silence. Three years afterward,
when Great Hebraic Consolidated Stormy
Jordan Life Assurance Company, of which
that intelligent young prince was Presi
dent, went into bankruptcy, the young
man was able to let his father, who was a
little slmi't at the time, have 250,000 she
kels for ninety days, on his simple note of
hand.

Ayer's Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fover, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c., and indeed
all the affections which arise from malari
ous, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no qui
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. It
lias been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that it has gained the reputation of being infal
lible. It can, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of
the South. It counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its influ
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by it, do not return until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenic Affections, Hysterics, Pain
in the Itowels, Colic, Paralysis, and derange
of the Stomach, all of which become intermit
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Aveu’s Ague Cure, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
a preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp
toms. Travellers and temporary residents arc
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.

actual experience confirm and lias established this
compound as far superior to others claiming like
character. SIMMONS HEPATIC COMPOUND
has nothing in its composition that can possibly in
jure the most delicate. Its taste is not unpleasant,
does not nauseate or gripe, and yet it acts on the
Liver and Bowels just as effectually as Calomel or
any of the preparations of mercury, without injuring
the constitution or debilitating the system. Many
people suffer with Torpid Liver and Constipated
Bowels and require something to stimulate these or
gans. From some peculiarity of constitution, they
cannot take calomel or bine mass. To such Simmon’s
Hepatic Compound will be invaluable. It does not
produce large watery notions that weaken and de
press, but acts mildly, producing no depression. It
simply stimulates nature to act. Hence how invalu
able to the sufferer.
Try it and yon will lie satisfied.
