me like yin--
treeltonerl 'twas dyspepay or watery

At last I got my 'dander up, an' to my.
self, sez 1,
The biggest fool in names him that tells
hisself a lie ;
I've been tett:' on 'tie malary, an' my
etummick, when I know
It's my conscience that's a-hurtin' an'
worryin' me so.
I've been a-shirkin' this here thing for
thirty year or more,
An' I orto had this shakin' up an' set-
tlin' down afore.
I've been honsst fur as payin' goes, not
a penny do I owe,
But the kind o' oheatin' that I done,was l
the kind that didn't show.
My mind gots back to Hamner, when d
fetched her here a bride- • •
No apple bloom was sweeter, an' she
nusaled to my side
s Like she thought she had a right to, an'
•r could trtist me without fear
For the love I never hinted at for more'n
thiry year.
There was churnin', bakin', hilin', there
was nussin' au the rest,
From long afore the sun riz 'till he
slumbered in the west,
An' when the rest of us was done, an'
lollin' round on cheers,
Hanner was recuperatin' with her
needle an' her shears.
But when the life was ebbin' from that
faithful patient heart,
I had to face the music—I hadn't done
my part ;
AndI couldn't help athinkin', watchin'
out that weary life,
That there's other ways o' killin' 'xcept
a pistol or a knife.
It sounds like sacreligion, but I knew
just whaty,she meant
As I whispered, "Fly to meet me when
my airthly life is spent".—
"I'm tired, John, so tired,but I've allus
, done my best,
An' I may feel more like flyin' when
I've bad a spell o' rest."
" WHY Do I SUFFER SO
with headache and vertigo, doctor ? I
have a bad cough, too, and dell aches
under the shoulder blades ; I'm losing
weight, and am bilious all the tithe,"
The courteous physician answers : " If
you inquire what is the cause of all this
mischief, it is torpid liver. That organ
you are aware, is•the largest gland in
the body, and its olheeis to carry off the
waste of the system. When it fails to
do its proper work, the refuse of the
body is re -absorbed and goes circulating
, round and round in the blood,poisoning
not nourishing, the tissues.. But why
you continue to suffer in this way I ani
at a loss to understand,sinceDrPierce's
Golden Medical Discovery would give
prompt !relief, and future immunity
from such attacks."
INUNDATIONS I N MEXICO.
ST. Lout, Mo., June 26.—A
City of Mexico special says during
the past ten days the table lands
- between Here. and Zocotas have
been. visited by unprecedented
rains. Every mountain rivulet
along the Central Railway, • for
more than 200 miles, has been
converted into a destructive tor-
rent, and the valleys present the
appearance oflakes., cities
and towns have been inundated,
and Leon and Silao have been
partly destroyed.
• On the 18th inst. the following
telegram was received from Silao:
" It commenced raining heavily
yesteklit nffe noon and continued
all night, -raising the Silao River
out of its banks, breaking at the
north end of the town, and passing
through the town with. irresist-
bale force and volume. Most of
the houses hero being adobe, they
soon became saturated with writer
and began to fall. About 325
houses have been destroyed: Tho
station buildings are occupied by
homeless people, who aro unable
to obtain anything to eat except,
watermelons and fruit found float-
ing in the water. The rain has
been general, and the whole coun-
try around Silao is flooded. Seve-
ral dykes have given away. It
still continues raining. On the
20th it was learned that the floods
had been more destructive in
Leona tharrin Silao. On Monday,
the 18th, the river broke over its
dykes, and, notwithstanding all
efforts to check its course, it made
rapid headway and finally flooded
the city. As the rain fell the
river rose rapidly, its volume of'
water flowing into the town,
gradually wearing away the foun•
dations of buildings, which com-
menced to fall as night came on.
Monday night people, believing
themselves Seen re from the flood
went to bed in those parts of the
town whore the water had not
found its way. The steady down-
fall of rain with its extensive wa-
ter -shed of the outlying country -
_i.ncreased-the flow of the river and
rapidly extended its channel until
...rover half of. Leon was under wa-
ter, and the loss of life commenced,
unparalleled in the history of any
of the great inundations of modern
times. As the buildings fell the
unfortunate sleepers were either
crushed to death or drowned. One
whole night of terror followed.
Men, women and children fled to
the streets in their night clothes,
some to fin(] shelter on higl:
ground, and others to be swept
away 12y th000ll.

the nftoriruon, however, it
ceased raining, and the water.,
commenced to roods. It is esti-
mated that 700 persons perished.
There is a strong stench from the
heaps of rubbish that once formed
houses, and one is led to believe
that there is bodies 'under thorn
There are also bodies floating on
the water. One hundred and el-
even bodies have been recovered
withont moving any of the ruins
of the houses; and hundreds of
bodies must be buried under
them.
The destroyed houses are esti-
mated at 2,000, and the loss $2,-
00.0.000.
Many other towns havo been
badly damaged, but the loss of
life is only reported from Silao
and Leon.
