.T7" TZr-A tlL i WEEKLY) EKA. FAMILY READING. - - A Black-and-Tau rog Tackles ., ,a Turtle., If anybody has seen a black-and- tan doc: answering: to the name of V Judge," going down street in com pany with a hard shell turtle, that won't answer to anything, ana cer tainly won't answer to tackle, as the dog can tell you if you can get him to stop long enongh, please halt the eloping pair, as thev are the prop erty of the editor of this paper. We are ionciiy auacneu to the dog on account of hid .vagabondish, Bohe mianish habits. He knows every dog in I'eona by name, and is on speaking terms with nine-tenths of the granger dogs that come in un der the waoons. and he knows more of the inhabitants of this city, than is a more recent acquisition. It was placed in the backyard yester day, and the dog spent an hour and a half trying to entice it to come out of its shell and be sociable. The old iron-clad maintained his ro- serve, however, until the dog cram me 1 his nose against tho for ward part and began to sniff. The pair seemed to come to some sort of understanding at once, for the dog made an impetuous remark on a vory high key, and they both started on a trip after Donaldson's balloon, When the dog jumped over Fishers barn we thought he had struck the eastern current and would get right through, but we learn since that he landed and was seen "saanterinsr along like a whirlwind, 'the turtle stavinc: rierht by him. We should be very sorry to lose the dog now, as he has acquired another impor tant and valuable quality. He knows more about turtles than any other dog in the country, and It's "- .1 mighty hard to flu d a real good turtle dog. Peoria Review. The Lost Opportunity. A useful hint to many young men may be derived from this little sto ry which the Springfield (Mass.) Union prints: ".Not long ago a young man of this city had a most iavoraoie opportunity iu enver a hiuinMs house in this state, at a large Increase over his present sala ry, with a prospect ot soon getting a place in tne nrm. n is recom mendations were first-class, and the officers of the Institution were de cidedly pleased with his appear ance.

Half the perplexity, anuoyance and trouble thai nn'!i have In this world is in conseoence of getting into debt. It A 1 mP . seems to oe natural ior some men to buy and incur obligations with out. measure, so long as they can avoid paying ready cash. Give one of this sort a chance to buy on cred it, and the question of pru and conditions of payment are matters that he cares but little about. Bji what a crop of trouble springs up from the seed of debt. How many sleepless nights result from it ! How i t i many gray nairs ltonngs, uuu now often it shortens Iife sometimes leading men to commit suicide or murder. And yet how easy a thing it is to keep clear of this ter rible monster, Every young man should form a fixed unaltejablc de termination, before commencing his active business career, not to in- cur one penny or maeDieaness un der any circumstances. Never bor row. Never buy anything unless you have the money t pay for it at once. Pay no attention to splendid opportunites,, "bargains," "rare chances," and the like. Such affairs are only traps which dubts set to catch victims. If you see anything that vou would like to buy, or any offer is made that you would like to accept, 1 wok first at your money pile, and make the answer depend upon that. Always pay as you go. If yoa are short of money, you thlnjr that you cannot afford, and you wm go on inrousn me iree win goon through lire from the miseries and troub&s that ever beset the path of the debtor.

Prominent amnno- them are Sarsaparilla and wild cherry, so united as to act together ; the one, tliroueb tlie its admixture with other substances, purifying and purging: while the other is strerierthetiinff the system. Thus these Pills are at the same time a tonic and a cathartic, a de- Hideratum long soutrht for bv medical men, but never before discovered. In other words, they 1o the work of two medicines and do it much better than any two we know ot, for they remove nothing from the system but impuri ties, so that while they purge they also strengthen and hence thev cause no de bility and are followed by no reaction. r. Xutt's Pills have a wondeful influence on the blood, Thev not onlv purify without weakening it, but they remove ail noxious particles from the chyle before it is converted into fluid. and thus makes impure blood an utter impossibility. As there is no debilita tion, so there is no nausea or sickness attending the operation of this most ex cellent medicine, which never strains or tortures the. digestive organs, but causes them to work in a perfectly natural manner ; hence persons taking them do not become pale and emaciated, but on tho.contrary, while all impurities are being removed, the combined action of the Sarsaparilla and;Wild Cherry puri fles and invigorates the body, nd a ro bust state of health is the result of their united action.
