BROWN'S IRON HHTERS will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with

ing it, and thus* drive disease from
any pr.rt of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head*

T!ie streets of Venice.
j *
Many persons am under a great tui«-
uppre cnsioa a* to tile means of trausit .
or locomotion in Venice. It is a mis
take to suppose tbatfliere ar« no streets,
and that is absolutely necessary to go
from place to place by gondola. It is
truo that there bridges—the Kialto
bridge of the middle a«e», aud the two
modern iron brtJjris—span lR» grand
canal which divides the city in e ( |iul
halves; it is truu tint the city is l uilt
upon 117 islaudV, ln'tcrsecieJ bv li»0
small'canals and 1,4N0 psss"-ev hut
almost every one of t'i» water streew
have a quay or footpath bordering it,
while 400 bridges unite island to island,
so that it is quite passible to go to avery
part of the city ou foot, although ftw
perhaps would oarc to do so, for there
is not in all tho world a ui iro difficult
place fur the traveler, guided only by
the "light of nature,'' to find a given
spot. That spot tnay bo only a few
hundred yards away, but to reach it he
may have to cross a half dor.tu bridges,
| sotue leading to the right and semi to
the left, and traverse as mauy squares,
of which there are 39fi, 127 hrjcr
squares and 2GQ smaller squares.
A tl-jiiilly no Perseverance- t
! The great trouble with many young j
people, au«£, likewise., willi some who j
are not young, aud who are not going to j
be young very soon, if they keep ou, it j
that tlify lack perseverance. This crit-1
icisui, of course, does not aj-p!y io all:
young people. There are quite a nun.- |
| her who aj-c notable except! ns to the j
rule. Our remark in regard to lac!; of
perseveration was not intended to wound
I tho feelings of the worthy young man
; who give, up the wlu'lo uf his mir.d to
rais'ng, with difficulty, and other artifi
cial uicaus, a young mustache. There
may be a la.-k of hair, but there is no
hvcl; of perseverance on his part. His
efforts to induce the shy and downy
uiustaeho to prultudj from its hiding
place out into the bright daylight, where
j it can be si vu and a luiired, are uuceai
ing. Iu tact, as too mucii kindness

.••x'ra rdinary amount of fondling the
