The readers of this paper will be
pleased lo learn that there is at least one
dread disease that science has been nblc
to cure in all Its stages and that is Ca
tarrli. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
poetive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
Internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of tho system,there
by destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
falls to cure. Send for list of Testimo
nials.

SPIRITS OF THE NIGHT.
Through tho glooming of the 1 night. ,
Sounds the falling of the rain;
And the forms of ghosts bedight
With the shrouds of darkness' bane,
Are a-hcating ever on my Idackend window pane!
Loudly rapping, gently tapping
On the trembling window pane I
Swiftly beating, then retreating
When I would attempt a meeting
With the Bpirits of the night—
With tho ones remote from light!
For my deep infatuation v
With the things of incantation
Fain would force from them a greeting
Were thoy not so very fleeting—
Spirits of the night I
Spirits of another world,
Catling through the falling rain;
From a peaceful being hurled,—
Shrieking, crying, all I11 rain!
Beating, over heating on my Erelmslan panel
Fiercely nipping, lowly tapping
On the creaking window pano 1
Calling, calling, nil-enthralling,
Coming thrilling thruugh the falling
Of the font descending rain—
Louder, loewr, loud again!
Like alchlldlsh voice a-grlevelng,
Like a siren's song deceiving,
Nearer, farther never leaving,
Sjiells aroundlmy fancy weaving—
Spirits of the night I

One of Berrien’s clever citizens
finds himself in a rather embarrass
ing position. Some time since it be
came necessary, in the course of bus
iness, for him to require a mortgage
from a neighbor. The paper was
duly exeouted, witnessed by a magis
trate and placed on the county'
records. Now the citizen learns,
much to his dismay, that the signa
tures had been put in the wrong
place and that he had given the
other man a mortgage against him
self, of the most binding character,
and had it placed on the county
records.
He is now dwelling in hourly fear
of his debtor suing him on the
mortgage and collecting the full
amount.

“These mosquitos are nothing to
complain of,” said Mr. J. B. Greene
the other day. “When we were sol
diering in and around Charleston, S.
O., in the sixties, we hud a much
finer brand of mosqnito than any I
sec these dayB. This brand had an
arrangement that worked like a brace
and bit, and when the bit bad pene
trated deep enough to strike gore,
all you had to do was to reverse the
motion of the hind legs and the in
sect would bore itself to death with
out discovering the reversal of its
machinery.”
“No, these are no gnats at all,”
said Mr. J. M. Garrett. “One fine
morning in 1864, when we were
camped below Savannah, I noticed a
tall chap making queer motions in
the air witli the index finger of his
right hand. ‘What are you doing
there?’ I asked. ‘Can’t you read5’
ho replied. I then saw that he was
writing his name in a cloud of gnats.
I had a pint oup in my lmnd, and I
thought I would try an experiment
