medicinally termed, Extracts) of
Herbs an d Barks,. inir making a prepara
tion highly eonren- .11 Dated and entirely
40m (rem alcoholic admixture of any
kind. ..
.11Ootland's Gelman Tonle
Is a combination of all the Ingredients of the
Bitters,_ with' the purest quality of Banta Cruz
Rum, Orange, etc., making one of the most
pleasant and agreeable remedies ever offered to
the public,
Those preferrlnga Medicine, free from Alco
holic admixture, will use
„ HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Those who have no objection to the combine•
lion of the Bittern, as stated, will use
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC.
- They are both equallygood, and contain: the
same medicinal virtues, the choice between the
two being a mere matter of taste, the Tonic be,
log the moat palatable.
The stomach, from a variety of causes, Inch
as Indigestion, DYs. pepsin, Nervotut De
bility; etc., is very rt apt to have its func
tion's deranged. The 1..) Liver,sympathlting
as closely as it does with the Stomach,
then becomes affected, the result of which is
that the patient suffers from several or more ol
the following diseases:
Constipation, Flatulence, Inward Piles, Full.
nest; of Blood to the Head, Acidity of the Stom
ach, Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food,Full
ness or Weight in the Stomach. Sour /Inlets-
Dons, Sinking or Fluttering at the Pit of the
Stomach, Swimming of the Head, Hurried or
Difficult Breathing, Fluttering at the Heart,
Choking or Suffocating Sensations when in a
lying posture, Dimness of Vision, Dots or Webs
before the Sight, Dull Pain in the Head, Dell
ciency of Perspiration, Yellowness of the Skin
and Eyes, Pain in the Side, Back, Chest, Limbs,
etr., Sndden Finches of Heat, Burning of the
Flesh, Constant Imaginings of Evil and treat
Depression of Spirits.
The sufferer from these disea.es should exer •
else the greatest caution in the selection of a
retards for his case, purchasing on l y
tht.t which ho is as- r% mired from his, in
vertigations and in- ‘..,/ quirt es possesses
true merit, is skill- fully cOmponridectim
free from injurious Ingredients and has estab
lished for itself a reputation for the cure of
these diseases. In this connection we wOuld
submit these well-known remedies—

Philadelphia, Pa.
Twenty-two years since they were fi rst Idtro
&iced Into this country from Germany, during
which time they have undoubtedly perforti
more cures, and benetitted suffering huma ,
to a greater 'extent, than any tither rehires I
known to the public.
These retuotiles will effectually cu re Liver eoul
pintnt, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Chumia
or Nervous Debility, j* chronic Diarrhcea,
Diseases of the Kith r neys and all tli .
es arising from a dia. or d ered 1. ver,
Stomach, or Intestines.
lb,ulting from any cause whatever; Pro'
t lon of the System, Induced by Severe
Labor, Hardships, Espoimre,
Fevers. Etc.
There is no medicine extant equal to these
11/ 443
remedies iu such cases. A tone and vigor im
parted to the whole system, the appeti s
strengthened, food is enjoyed, the stomac di
gests promptly, the blood is purified, the Com
plexion becomes sound and healthy, the yellow
tinge is eradicated from theeeyespa blooM is
given to the cheeks, and the weak and nervous
invalid becomes a , strong and healthy being.
Persons advanced In life, and feeling the hand
n i
of time weighing heavily upon them, wit all
its attendant Ills, will find in the use of this
BITTERS, er the TONIC, an elixir that wil in
stil new life Into their veins, restore In a eas
nre the energy and ardor of more youthful,'
build up their shrunken forms and give h
and happiness to their remaining years,
It is a well established fact that fully one, half
of the female portion of our population
aro seldom in the en- 'r L joyment of g d
health ; or, to use J 3 their own expres.
sion, "never feel well." They areilan
guld, devoid of all energy, extremely ner,ooe,
and have no appetite.
To this class of persons the BITTERS, oche
TONIC, Is especially recomixtended.
Weak and delicate children are made stng
by the use of tither of these remedies. They
will core every case of MABASMUS, wit out
fall. Thousands of certificates have acen n la-
Led in tita 'texas of MR proprietor, but
,pace
'
will allow of but few. These, It wlll.beobse ed,
are men of note andof such standing that • hey
must be believed.

going on between the girl and the very lover
whom the old dame dreads.]
Daughter, while you turn your wheel"

•
Listen to the words I say ;
Colin has contrived tosteal
Your unthinking heart away.
Of his fawning voice beware—
You are all the blind one's care,
And I mark your sighs whene'er
Our young neighbor's name is heard.
Colin's tongue is false, though winning—
fist! the window is unbarred!
A.h! Lisette, you are not spinning ! •
The room is close and warm you say;
But, my daughter, do not peep •
Through the casement, night and day—:
Colin there his watch doth keep.
Think not mine a grumbling tongue ;
Aix ! hero at my breast you himg—
I, like you, was free and young;
And I know how apt is love
To lead the sinful heart to sinning—
Hist ! the door—l heard it move!
All! Lisette, you are not spinning !
It is a gust of wind, you say,
That has made the hinges grate;
And my poor, old, growling Tray,
Must you break for that his pate
Ah my child, nut faith in me ;
Age permits me to foresee
Colin soon will faithless be,
And your love to an abyss
Of grief will be the sad beginning—
Bless me ! sure I heard a kiss ! '
Ah ! Lisette, you are not spinning !
'Twas your little bird, you say,
Gave that tender kiss, just now ;
Make him cease his trifling pray,
He will rue it else, I vow.
Love, my girl, oft bringeth pain,
Shame and sorrow in its train,
While the false, successful swain
Scorns the heart he has beguiled
From true virtue's path to sinning—
That ! hear you move, my child,
Ah ! Lisette, you are not spinning !
You wish to take the air, you say,
Think you, daughter, I believe you?
Bid young Colin g-) his way,
Or, au once, as bride receive you.
Let him go to church, and there
Show his purpose to the fair ;
But, till then, beside my chair
You must work, my girl, nor heed
All his vows so loud and winning ;
Tangled in love's web, indeed
Lkette, my daughter, mind your spinning,
MATRIMONIAL INCIDENTg.
MARIZIED WITH A REVOIXF.II AT Hrs
jIEAD.—The Fort Wayne (Indiana) Gazet p te
reports the most remarkable marriage cere
mony on record. It appears that a liss So
phia Kikley, of that county, had loved a
young man named Samuel Quacksall, "not
wisely but too well," and the too frequent
results of misplaced confidence ffillowed.
She had sued her deceiver for damages, and
the cause was not decided by the court.
inns matters stood on weanesay afternoon
last, when Miss Kikley started out in search
of the false one, whom she found on a freight
car. She drew a loaded revolver on him
and told him to' -come down." Without
tire-arms, and aged by her
,determined man
ner, he obeyed. The Gazette furnishes the
story as follows •
"She led the way' to the clerk's office for a
marriage license. The clerk was not in when
they entered. lie was sent for. Quackell
didn't - feel intensted, and refused to ask for
the license. lie said he was only nineteen
years of age and hid not the consent of his
parents to the marriage. She demanded the
license, saying he had promised to marry
her and he had to do IL The clerk hesitated,
as, in such circumstances, the license would
be hardly legal. With the air of a Joan of
Arc she approached
. the desk and asked
whether he was going to make out the license.
Before such desperation (the revolver in
ready reach) he deemed' discretion the better
part, and complied with the request.
"The scene here was one of dramatic in
, teresL Quicksall sat sullenly on a stool and
refused' to.receive the license. His intenkl
took charge of the paper, ordering him ro
pay for it. One dollar was The bill. He was
out of money. Shp paid what she-could of
the amount—seventy or eighty cents, and
with an imperious 'come, led her liege out
of the office.
"They climbed the north fence of the court
yard and made their Way to the office of
Esquire MiMalan, on Main street, where ano
ther scene of still more dramatic power
transpired. Miss Kikley made known their
errand by handing, the Justice the license.
She placed two. chairs in front of the desk,
and occupied one, Quid:salt, however, refhs
ing to take the other. When prepared for
the ceremony, he asked Quicksall if he was
ready, and suggested that he take off his hat.
'Not ready,' said he. 'Ready for that or a
.bullet,' said the bride, springing up quick as
a dash, and pointing her revolver at has head.
This motion made a great sensation among
the bystanders.. A constable grasped the
hand that held the weapon and turned it in
another direction, towards the door. Bystan
ders ran erYing,.`Don't shoot this way. A
voice in another 'part of the room said, 'Let
her have the pistol.' And there was con
fusion generally.
"Order being restored, the Squire tried a
second time to proceed. The groom again
objected, when the revolver was again lev
eled at him, with the command, 'stand up
here by the side of me.' At last their hands
were joined and the ceremony proceeded.
The bride's responses were very distinct and
positiye; the groom's were scarcely audible.
After the ceremony the unwilling groom
seized his hat and 'Scooted.' The bride made
what arrangements she could about the 'fees,'
and withdrew with her brother, who had ac
companied her all the time.
"The marriage, we suppose, will result in
the dismissal of the case at the Common
Pleas Court above referred to." ,
THE MOST REMAIN:MILE SWMPLE OS
REconn.—A few days ago a rural-looking lady
and gentleman of Sterling,,Cayuga Co., called
upon one of the Justices of the peace and ex
pressed a wish to be married. The - pair
were made man and wife. This morning
they re-appearekand each in turn' desired
that the proceedings might be annulled. The
lady was particularly urgent. She charged
that she had,been entrapped into marrying
the man who stood beside her by a piece of
unparalleled deception. She had been corres
ponding with her cousin in lowa, whom she
had not seen`since she was a child, and dur
ing the correspondence her relative had
wooed. and won her affections_ lie wrote
her that he was coming on here In December
to claim her hand and take her to his home
in the We-4. On Monday last the swain to
whom she was married made his appearance,
Claimed to he her cousin, said he could not
wait until December, &e. On the strength
of these representations, she had reluctantly
consented to wed. She had since learned
that the man whom she bad -married was
not her cousin, hut a wretch who had se
cured a wife -by base deception. The man
acknow%dged his culpability, but pleaded
in extennation that the lowa cousin read him
the letters of his intended : that these bad in
fluenced him to do as lie had done. His eon
' science smote him so grievously since the ac
complishment of his treachery, that he made
a full confession to the lady he had shame
fully winged. Ile had hoped to reconcile
her to the fraud, but she would not. He was
now willing to make the only amends - he
knew of, viz., have the.marriage contract an
nulled. The magistrate suggested he had
not the power to unmarry them. He advised
that, as matters had progressed thus far, It
would be better for the lady to make the best
of a bad bargain, and accept the situation.
After a good deal of persuasion on the, part
of the bridegroom, the lady finally decided'
to accept the advice of the magistrate, on the
assurance that the said bridegroom would
"make it all right" with the genuine cousin
away off in lowa.. Upon this happy settle
ment the lady dried her eves, and the happy
pair departed.—Oswego (.2. Y.) Ptalatlium.
EXTRAORDINARY lilannuom—A MalTiage
took place a few days ago Ina village not far
distant from Reading tinderpecnliar circum
stances., The ceremony, which was per
formed in accordance with the rites of the
Church ot England, took place in the house
of the • bridegroom, who at the time ot the
wedding was, and we .believe still is, In a
dying state. He had to be lifted from- his .
bed, wmpped in blankets, and carried- Into
the room in which the ceremony was to take
place. He was supported while the cere
mony was being read,..and atthe conclusion
Was conveyed back to his bed room. An in
quiry will naturally suggest itself as to-the
motive which could Induce persons to be
married under such circumstances. We'un
denitand the facts are these:
The bridegroom was left some years ago
a widower with a family. His first ,wife,
when dying; desired that the young lady
(who subsequently became the second wife)
should have the care of the children. This
desire was fulfilled, and it was, we believe,
in order that this lady might have a right to
continue to take charge of the children that
marriage was proceeded with, although the
surrounding circumstances were so strange
and so gloomy. It was necessary before the
marriage could take place that a special
license should be obtained from the Archbish
op of Canterbury. A gentleman from Read
ing had an interview with the Archbishop,
and the facts having been laid before him,, his
Grace granted the special license.—Burks
(Eng.) (lironiele.
MAHIMAHE Or A WOMAN WHO WAS NOT A
Woltaa.--Ono of the most remarkable mar
riage ever recorded came off in St. Louis a
short time since, though at the time the bans
were published probably there were not more
than two persons in the world, and the bride
groom not one' of them, who knew of its
peculiar features. The facts are given only
because' of their extraordinary character;
and all names, dates and incidents caltulated
to point oritthe'parties are suppressed. The
statement is made upon infotmation perfect
ly reliable, and such as to leave no' doubt
whatever as to its correctness.
Both bride and bridegroom were residents
of Bt. Louts; the former a girl of seventeen,
and the latter a young mechanic with very
fair prospects for the future, and some little
cash in bank. The wedding was celebrated
in the usual manner, and the young couple
started for a Northern city on their honey
moon trip. They were not long gone, how
ever, for at the end of two days they were
back In Louisville, and the young husband,
who had hithcirto been noted for his temper
ate habits, took'to drinking, and in a day or
two afterward suddenly disappeared. Ru
mor said he had gone to California, but at
any rate he left his wife with her friends at
St. Louis. -
After returning from Indianapolis, he made
a strange statement to an intimate friend, in
which he alleged that his wife, though to all
appearance a young girl, was of neither sex ;
and that she was to him a most uncompre
/tensible being, with whom -he. could never
live happily. lie seemed greatly troubled,
and asked advice as to what course he ought
to pursue under the circumstances. The
next heard of him by his friend, he had left
the city.
The-deserted bride seems to be entirely,un
conscious of being in any way different from
any other human being, and could never
have experienced the passion of love, though
the husband carried on his suit a year. She
looks to be a beautiful young girl, though
not very well developed, and there is noth
ing masculine or unusual in .her features.
Her parents, it is said, have kept her very
close at home, and in her schooldays she was
not allowed to mingle with her schoolmates,
her teachers having received particular in
structions before she entered the schiiols
which she attended. The mother is thought
to have been the only person acqudinted
with her peculiarities up to the time of her
marriage.
The case is certainly very remarkrib - le, and
,will no' doubt attract some attention in the
scientific world.
A WIFE DISGUISES lIEn LOVEIL—A. Curi
ous phase in elopements was developed last
week in the north-western corner of Brook
lyn, otherwise known as Greenpoint. The
particulars, as far as ascertained, are as fol
lows: • •
A married woman, residing in Oakland
street, bet Ween 3leserole and Norman ave
nues, has for some time past frequently vis
ited New York'under pretense of seeing her
sister. • On the 23d of last month, on return
ing =front one of these visits, she brought
home a lady with her, who was introduced
to her husband as Mrs. Cleveland, an old
schoolmate of the wife, who wished to stay
with the family for a few days. The gener
ous husband acquiesced in everything his
good wife wished, and. no objection was
made.
The visitor was very timid and not used to
the noise of the city, and was afraid to sleep
alone, so the wife retired with her to the
room assigned her, while the husband slept
with the children. This programme contin
ued until 'Monday before election, when the

visit to her friend and neighbors, departed
for home. On electron 'day the wife took ad
vantage-of her spouse remaining at home, to
have him assist her in getting carpets' up,
and 'shaking the same preparatory to cleaning
house for winter. Thus on Wednesday the
house was in the utmost imaginable confu

articles all gone.
Thursday developed the fact that the wife
had shipped her children to Norwalk, Con

took tickets fora tour Westward with the
above mentioned Mrs. Cleveland, who turns
out to be a young man of effeminate charac
teristics. One of the children remarked on
Mrs. Cleveland entering the house, that she
acted something like a man ; but it was not
then noticed. The furniture, money and
valuables taken amounted to nearly $4OO.
The family has enjoyed a good reputation,
and this unhooked for incident has shocked
the sensibilities of the neighborh•od, and af

TITS INTIITCAMS MAnti‘roNv.—A
curious matrimonial affair has just trans
pired iii Brooklyn ; the parties are not in
high life or known to fame, but their history
is nevertheless interesting. Ten years ago,
a couple, recently married, moved from Bos
ton to the City of Churches, where the hus
band set up in business, and prospered. His
business at his office was better than at his
home, and his married life was unhappy,and
about five years ago the parties managed to
secure a divorce. They gradually lost trace
of each other, and during the past year each
of them married, and each to a person who
had been divorced. The two husbands were
thrown together, without mowing their re
lations to each other, and a few weeks ago
the one who had married the divorced wo
man invited the other home to dinner. Im
agine the embarassment when the happy
husband introduced his wife to his friend.
Both were too well bred to haves scene,and
so the dinner passed off somewhat frigidly
but with no actual unpleasantness.
The recipient of the dinner courtesy in
vited the other to go home with him soon
after and partake of a family dinner, little
thinking, as it happened, that he was to re
turn the compliment in every particular. It
turned out that each had married the di
vorced sponse of the other, and it is more
satisfactory to know that each was entirely
pleased with the arrangement. So much for
the intricacies of matrimony. I dare say
there are many a couple or many a pair of
couples that Would be greatly benefited by
just such a change.
MATIRIED WITHOUT GLOVES.-A few days
since, a young gentleman and young lady
appeared at the parsonage of an eminent
clergyman of this city, for the purpose of
haring their respective destinies united in
the holy bonds of matrimony. Everything
being ready, the clergyman aforesaid was
about to proceed with the ceremony, when
the young lady discovered that she was mi
nus her kid gloves, so necessary on such oc
caBions ;.wherelipon she requested her af
fianced tohasten to a store and pro
cure the indispensable kids, telling hint to
"be in a hurry or she might change her
mind." The- clergyinan, witnesses, and in
tended bride waited for some time foi the
return of the youth with the gloves; lie
didn't come. They Waited longer, and still
he failed to put in an appearance. The mat
ter at last becoming really serious and alarm
ing, the clergyman took his hat and proceed
ed post haste in search of' the truant lover,
whom he found after a diligent search and
many inquiries,quietly seated on the wren
,dah of the Par4House,with his feet elevated
en the back of a chair, and very deliberately
pulling a cigar. On being asked to explain
his singular conduct, he carelessly remarked
that ho "was waiting to see if she was going
to change her mind." They were married,
however, at last, after two hours' delay.—

In one of his recent lectures :Professor ,
Silliman the younger, alluded Co the discov
ery of the skeleton of an enormous lizard, of
eighty feet. From this the Professor infer
red,'as no living specimen of such magni
tude has been found, that the species which
it represents has become degenerated. The
verity of his position he endeavored to en
force by au allusion to the well known exist
ence of giants in olden times. The following
is the list on which this singular hypothesis
is based
NO. 28.
The giant exhibited at Rouen in 1830, the
professor says, measured nearly eighteen
feet_
9oraclius saw a girl that was ten fee thigh.
The taut Galabra, brought from Ara la
to Rome eluier.elnudius ()tsar, was ten feet
hi• h.
`annum, who lived in the time of Eugene
11, measured eleven and a h a lf f ee t •
The Chevalier Scrog, in tax voage to the
Peak of Teneriffe, found in one aid s camas
of that mountain, the head of Guraoh, who
bad sixty teeth and was not less than fifteen
feet high.
The giant Ferregus, slain by Orlando,
nephew of Charlemagne, was twenty-eight
feet high.
In 1814, near St. German, was found the
tomb of the giant Isorant, who was not less
than thirty feet high.
In 15811 near Itimen, was found a skeleton
whose skull held a bushel of corn, and who
was nineteen feet high.
The giant Bacart was twenty-two feet high
Lis thigh-bones were found in 1704, near the
river Moderi.
In .1823, near the castle In Dauphine, a
tomb was found thirty feet long, sixteen wide
and eight high, on which was cut in gray
stone these words "Rintolochus Rex." The
skeleton was found entire, twenty-flue and a
quarter feet long, ten feet across the shoul
ders, and five feet from the breast-bone to
the back. .
Near Palermo, in'Sicily, in 1516, was found
the skeleton of a giant thirty feet high, and
in 1550, another thirty-four feet long.
Near lifazarine, in Sicily, in 1815, was found
the skeleton of a giant thirty feet high; the
head was the size of a hogshead, and each of
his teeth weighed five ounces.
We have no doubt that there were "giants
in those days," and the past was perhaps
more prolific , in producing them than 'the
present. But the history of giants during the
olden time was not more remarkable than
that of dwarfs, several of whom were even
smaller than the Thumbs and Nntts of our
own time. _
1. Cultivate an equable temper; many a
man has fallen dead in a fit of passion.
i. Eat regularly, not oyer,thriee a day, and
nothing between meals.
3. Go to bed at regular hours. Get up as
soon as you wake of yourself and do not
sleep in the daytime. At least. not .longer
than ten minutes before noon.
4. Work always by the day and not by
the job. •
5. Stop working before you are Very much
tired,—before you are "fagged out."
6. Cultivate a generous ant an accommo
dating temper. -
7. Never cross a bridge before you come
to it: this will save half the troubles of life.
8. Never eat when you are not hungry,
nor drink when you are not thirsty.
9. Let your appetite always come unin
vited.
10. Cool off in a place greatly warmer
than the one in Which you have been exer-•
; this simple rule would prevent incal
culable sickness and save millions of lives
every year.
111 Never resist a call of nature for a sin
e moment.
12. Never allow yourselves to be chilled
"through and through ;" it is this which de
stroys so. many every year, in a few days'
sickness, from pneumonia, called by some
lung fever or inflammation of the lungs. •
13. Whoever drinks no • liquids at meals
will add years of pleasurable existence hi
his life, Of cold or - warm drinks, the former
are more pernicious; drinking at meals in
duces persons to eat more than they other
wise would, as any one can verify by experi
ment, and it is excess in eating which devas
tates the land with sickness, suffering and
death.
14., After fifty years of age, if not a day
laborer, and sedentary person after forty,
should eat but twice a day, in the morning,
and about four in the afternoon ; personscan
soon accustom - themselves to a seven-hour
interval between eating, • thus giving the
stomach rest ; for every organ without, ade
quate rest will "give out" prematurely.
15. Begin early to live under the benign
influences of the Christian rCligion,for it"has
the promise of the life that now is, and of
that which to come."--/Tan Journal of
Health.
"THAT TARNAL SiteF."—To hear Gough
tell the "dragger" story is worth a quarter at
any time. The story is a capital one, but it
takes the man to tell it. This he does in
some such words as these:
2i. long, lean, gaunt Yankel entered a drug
store and asked:
"Be von the drugger?"
"Well, I s'pose so ; I sell drugs."
"Waal, hey you got any fly this 'ere scen
tin' stuff as the gals put on their handker
shiets ?"
"Waal, our Sal's gwinc to be marned, , and
she gin - me ninepence and told me to invest,
the hull amount in scentin' stuff, so's to make
her s - veet, if I could find some to suit; so if
yoU've a mind ni just smell 'round."
The Yankee smelled arotind without be
ing suited until the druggist got tired of hlm,-
and taking down a bottle of hartahorn said:
"I've got aseentin' stuff that will suit you.
A single drop on your handkerchief will stay
for weeks, and you can't wash it out ; but to
get the strength of it you must take a big
smell."
"Is that so, mister? Waal, just hold on a
minute, till I get my breath, and when I say
neow, you put it under my male's."
The hartshorn of course knocked the Yan
kee down, as liquor has done many a man.
Do you suppose he got up and smelt again,
as the drunkard does? Not he; but, roll
ing np his sleeves and doubling up his fist, he
said :
"You made me smell that time!, everlastire
stuff, mister, and neow make you smell
fire and brimstone."
The Deposit (N. Y.) Courier is responsible
for the foliowinemarvelous story:
In the vicinity of Spoon River, in
is a child that was born and has lived five
years without a head. Mrs. —,the mother,
is the widow of a soldier, formerly living, in
Marshall County, who enlisted in the Sixty
fifth or Scoch regiment, and was killed at
the battle of Lexington, Missouri. She was
standing beside her husband during an en
gagement, when a cannon ball carried his
head completely away, his body falling lute
her,anns, and covering her with blood. The
shock affected her greatly. When her child
MIS born there was not the semblance of a
head 'about it. The limbs. are perfectly de
veloped, the arms long, and the shoulders,
where the head and neck should be, smooth
ly rounded MT.
But the most surprising thing of all is that
the face is situated in the breast. Of course,
there being no neck, the power of turning its
head is wanting, except as the whole body
moves; but this difficulty is overcome.by the '
singular faculty it possesses of turning its
eyes in their sockets, enabling it to see quite
as well on either side as those more perfect
ly formed. The upper portion of its body is
white as the 'purest Caucasian; from the
waist downward is blood ted. This strange
creature, now an active boy of five years old,
as if to compensate for his deformity, posses
ses the most clear and bird-like tones ever
listened to, singing with singular correctness
everything it may hear, and at its early age
accomplishes two octaves easily.

the Sabbath. Good little boys sometimes
cry a little, and Walter began blubbering.
"Why, Walter," cried his mother;= "I am
astonished': The idea of your wishing to go
down to the reservoir on the Lord's holy
Sabbath, to go swimming with a lot of-bad lit
tle boys! "Boohoo!" blubbers Walter :"I
didn't want to go swimming with 'em ma; I
only wanted to go down to see the bad little
boys get drowned for goin' a swimmin' a
