Seeing the Elephant.
Crowds had witnessed with cngor
eyes tlie arrival of the great procession,
and as the time of performance drew
near, and tho tide of ingoing humanity
grew less, there appeared upon the
scene a specimen of the genus homo
often spoken of, but seldom seen a
ldWWl3?nr. tfWfflirttc rated, dyed-in-the
wool conventional Yankee, lie was
full, .akb-sided, and gaunt; with frec
kled fa'e and yellow hair; his garb, ot
pure homespun, outgrown in every part
—the coat short ami tight under the
arms; the cutfs ending at a point about
half way between the cltxws and the
wrists, while the extreme bottoms, ol
the pantaloons left the lower half ol
his enormous boot-legs bare, lie bore
mpon his lea arm a home-made basket
half filled with regular Yankee dough
nuts—cakes of sweetened dough, twist-
ed, sculptured, jointed, like the pillars
of Solomon's Temple, and tried to si
dark and crispy brown. He watched
this opportunity, and when he saw the
coast, clear he approached the taker of
tickets at the entrance. The whole
*inau —form, face, garb, voice, action,
and all—was a token incarnate of sin
cerity and plain-dealing.
**Sn-ay—-ycou, Mister! Ken yeou
jest list'n a minnit ?”
The man of authority nodded and
smiled and Jonathan proceeded :
“ Naow look ahere ; 1 haint got nary
a red—not a copper nor a rag ; but I've
got these ere doughnuts, naow—yeou
■ bet yer life. Ma'am an’ Sally Ann
made ’em, and Cynthy Jane, she give
’em the fiuishin' touch. Naow sa-ay—
of yeou’ll let mo inter the show, I 11
sell these toothsome artikles inside, an’
give ye the pay just as soon as 1 git
’em sold. I'll pay ye! I swan ter
i man I will!”
Never mind the argument pro and
con. The doorkeeper finally gave to
Jonathan the desired puss upon condi
tion that lie should, as soon as his goods
were disposed of, pay over to him, the
said keeper, five-and-thirty cents—that
lacing ten cents over and above the
•cash price of a ticket.
* in our hero went, passing first
tlie tent containing the wild animals.
The elephant was the first wonder to
attract him; and it was a wonder. He
got as near to the huge beast as lie
■ could, and drank in the stupendous
proportions, lie had not believed, un
til lie saw, that an earth-born beast
could be so large, lly and by a man
Have to the mammoth a piece of cake ;
then a boy ottered to buy one of Jona
£u'e doughnuts to him. The
ighrnit was sold for two cents, and
in order that he might see the process
of swallowing to better advantage, our
licru set down Lis basket just inside
one of like stakes that bounded the
n>i>Al arena, and took a position to suit
ldiu. l'lit doughnut had been trans
ferred to the elephant's cavernous maw
just as a loud shout from another part
of,lLe twit attracted the attention of
who were view ing the giant, and
'on turning they behold the huge hippo
potamus being driven into the central
arena.
Ah! here was something strange.
What a wadddling, swaying, groaning,
awkward mountain of flesh it was.
Jonathan forgot all about bis basket in
his new interest. Full quarter of an
hrmr he stood and watched the Egypt
i:ipi winder crawling around Lho circle,
pCrfqrming such tricks as it had been
taught, and then as the keeper started
to withdraw the hippopotamus, Jona
than bethought him of his doughnuts,
and of the duty incumbent upon him
of* turning them into cash. 110 turned,
aha—O!—how shall it lie told—lie be
held the elephant with the empty bas
ket at his feet, just throwing hack his
huge head and depositing flic last
doughnut—the very last—in his won
drous mouth! While the monster’s
head was up Jonathan had sense to
spring forward and grasp his basket,
and lie got it away safely—safely and
empty!
Jonathan gazed until he had taken in
the whole melancholy situation, and
then he shook his fist at the elephant,
and used language decidedly emphatic.
A little while so, and then, with a cool
ing of his impotent wrath, a sense of
his great loss came upon him. Slowly
and hesitatingly he dragged himself to
wards the entrance. The keeper saw
him and saw the empty basket.
• “ Well, well my man, you've sold out
wpiickly."
•“Sold out!" drawled the stricken
victim, with lips quivering and his eyes
filled with tears. " Xo—l’m dead clean
'busted ! 1 didn’t sell only one dough
nut. While 1 were looking at that ere
• old 'potamus, that ungainly, great big,
inge-rubber, two-tailed, over grown
grandfather of a swill-tub gobbled up
.every doughnut with one of his ever
lastin’ tails, and rammed 'em down his
ugly throat! What shall 1 dew? Dorn
the .double-ended cannible, if he’d a
•swallowed the baskit. and it had stuck
in his blamed old throat, and choked
liiia ter death, 1 shouldn't ’vc keered !
Hut, say—Mister, take the baskit, an’
Jet me stay in, won’t ye?”
A Wine Hrahon.
“Deacon Wilder, 1 want you to tell me
liow you kept yourself and family well the
past season, when all the rest of us have
keen sick so much, and have hud the doc
tors visiting us so often.”
“ Bro. Tavlor. the answer is very easy.
I used Hop Bitters in time ; kept my fam
ily well and saved the doctor bills. Three
dollar's worth of it kept us well and able
to work all the time. I'll warrant it has
cost you and the neighbors one to two
hundred dollars apiece to keep sick the
same time.”
“Deacon, I'll use your medicine here
after.”
(A bad beginning makes a good ending.)
My Good Man, What Gives You Pain !
BROKES PROMISES
AND UNPAID DEBTS!
We do not say that ALL MKN are liars ;
but that we owe debts which MI ST UK
PAID, and if our GOOD PROMPT-PAY
ING customers do not help us, to whom
must we look P Some men would let us
talk ourselves to death, or die iu the poor
house rather than use any exertion to pay
what they owe us. We are glad that all
men are not so. Many of our good friends
are coining up with cotton and money TO
IIKLP US OUT. Let others do likewise.
Some need but to he reminded. Those
who want full prices for their cotton, and
who desire to render us a real favor, will
come early, we know.
Do not take offence, for none is intended.
We simply need money and arc not tislmm

remedy be found 1 Therein one : —drink blit, little
wine, beer, or spirits, nr far better, none; take lit*
coffee—weak ten being preferable: ret dll the fresh
air you tail; take three or four I'ills every night;
eat plenty of Molhlts, avoiding the use of slop*; aiid if
tlie,He golden rule > are followed, you will he happy hi
mind and strong iu body, and forget yon have am
uerves.
Mothers and Daughters.
If there is out* thing more than another for which
thru** I'ills an* ho famous, it in I heir purifying mop
cities, especially their |H>wcr of demising llit* blood
from all impurities, and removing dangerous and
suspended seeretiona. Universally adopted as the
one grand remedy for female complaintri, they never
fail, never weaken the Hystam, ami always bring
about w hat is required.
Sick Headaches and Want of Appetite.
Those feelings w hich so Hadden uh. moat frequent
ly aiine from annoyances or iron hie, from obstructed
perspiration, or from catiug and drinking what
in unlit for us, thus disordering tin- liver and
Ntuiuaeh. These organs must he regulated if you
wish to he we If. The Bills, if talon according to the
printed instructions, will quickly restore a healthy
action to both liver and stomach, whence follow, &.s a
natural consequence, a good appetite and a clear
head. In the Kant and West Indies scarcely any
other medicine is ever used for these disorders.
How to be Strong.
Never let the bowels he either eon lined or unduly
acted upon. It may appear singular that ll<4lo*’ay's
Uills should he recommended for a run u|>oij thw
bowels, many persons supposing that tlmy would in
crease relaxation. Tills is a grout mistake, however:
for these Pills will immediately correct the liver anti
stop a very Wild of intwtd compi.iint. In warm li
mates tlidnaftv.dft of lives brtvo been saved by the use
of this medicine which in all cases gives tone ami
vigor to the whole organic system, honevfrdfranged
—lieu]tli and strength following as a matter of course.
The appetite, t<M>, is wonderfully increased 1\ the
use of these Pills, combined in the use of solid in
preference to tiuid diet. Animal food is better than
broths and stews. 15y removing acrid, fermciitod, or
other impure humors from the liver, stomach, or
blood. the cause of dysonti y, djwrrlura, and other
bowel complaints is expelled. The result is, that the
disturbance is arrested, and the action of the bowels
becomes regular. Nothing will stop the relaxation of
the bowels so quickly as this line correcting medi
cine.
Disorders of the Kidneys.
lii all diseases affecting these organs, w'hethor they
secrete too much or too little water: or whether theV
he atHicted w ith atone or gravel, or w ith aches ami
pains settled in the loins over the regions of the Kul
nevs, these Pills should be taken according to the
printed directions, and the Ointment should he well
ruldied into tin* small of the back at bedtime. This
treatment will give almost immediate relief wheu all
means have failed.
Tor Stomachs out of Order.
No medicine w ill so effectually improve the tone of
the stomach ns these Pills : they remove all acidity.
oeiHisiomsl either by Inteniperanee or improper diet.
They reach the liver and n dliee it to a healthy ac
