V J Being no longer able to hunt or _ engage in wars, he spent his time' "'* la study, that he ■ might become wise. He also publicly announced that auv one who would reveal to him any new science would be magnificently rewarded. Men came from all directions, who pretended to know marvelous things, but all proved to be without merit. A poor woman called one day with a little basket on her arm. The guard refused her en trance. but finally yielded to her entrea ties. When presonted to the king she said: '•! have a husband who is unable to work and several feeble children un able to earn a living. A good fairy pitlod me and made me a present, which I wish to give you, and for which, she said, you would pay me well." As she spoke she drew from the basket a pretty littlejserpent with diamoud oyes, ahead green as glass, the rest, of "the body blue as the sky. "If you will have this serpent cooked and eat the whole of it," said the woman, "you will be the sole possesor of a wonderful science. The poor woman's honest appearance so impressed the king that lie did not wait for tho result of the experiment, but ordered a large sum of money to be given her. Then he called an officer for whom ho had the greatest uffeetion and said to him: "Stephen, I have a strange but most Important order to give you, which you must execute with great care. You will have this scrpcpt roasted by my head cook; see thnf flo ouo lastes it, aud when it is done bring it to me—understand? If any one tastes it he shall die." "Oh! oh!" thought Stephen.

" Good morning, Jack ! why 1 haven't seen you for a month past. What in the world is the matter with you ? You seem to have renewed your youth." " Weil Phil, I have. Don't you remem ber the last time I saw you, how misera ble I was ? Sick and blue, anil iu that sort of mood a man gets sometimes when lie feels the most noble tiling in life is to go straight to the devil." " Not so had as that, I hope ; at all events you didn't go that way, you are looking far too happy and hearty." " Thank goodness, no .' or rather, thank Vinegar Bitters. Do you remember that day I saw you last, when you recommend ed that remedy to me so persistently, and I was first vex aland then half convinced." 1 remember it perfectly, and you needn't say another word upon the sub ject ; your looks tell me that you took the medicine." "No doubt of it: everybody remarks upon my improved looks aud temper; but I must really tell you all about it. I got t lie old style, as you recommended, a in 1 didn't mind the hitter taste at all. I fin ished the bottle in about two weeks, and was greatly improved, so much so that I determined to change off aud try the new style. " Well, how did you like it?" " You told me your wife preferred th new style, I believe; well, I must say lagre with her. I like the old style very much hut the new is a finer, smoother, more ex pensive preparation." " I believe it is ; in fact, I have heard si, and 1 wonder the McDonald Drug Company sell it for the same price they do the old style, because it is really a very costly preparation." " A'eli, that dosn't concern us. Who was it said that people fancied themselves pious sometimes when they were only bilious ? No matter ! I was only going to say that I believe people often seem wicked wiien it is only their liver, or their stom ach, or some other cantankerous organ of the body so nut of order they couldn't be good if tliey tried." " And if all the miserable dyspepsia, and victims of biliousness, headache and the thousand and one ills that flesh is heir to would only take Vinegar Bitters, wiiat a happy world this would he 1 " " I should recommend the new style."
