Hard work it was up there ; for

An Uhpopular Musician.
The following is started around.
Exactly where it set out, we know
A tuneful mosquito has had his
trombone reconstrueted, and begins
the new season in animated style. A
Newark man received a call the
other day from his long lost brbther
wbo lives in California. He assign-
ed tbe spare room to him, and bid-
ding hips an affectionate gooa night,
retired to rest, only to have his slum-
bers disturbed soon after b an in-
cipient earthquake up stairs. Hest -
ed to the. long lost brother's room,
from whence the uproar came.
When the unbridled brether went to
e e thrown open the window
to draw untranamelled breath and
preserve the idea of his nati.ve free-
dom. The mosquito, scenting for-
eign produce from afar, whetted up
his knife and fork upon the stone
window sill, and, humming a short
grace before meat, took a chair upon
the Californian's nose and, tu.c.icing
his napkin under his chin, set itis
work. The sensitiate foreigner said
an ungentle thing about the musical
bird of night, and springing from
his couch struck a light to meet his
unseen adversary- face to face. No
sooner had be descried him than
with uplifted pillow he. smote upon
the wall where sat the patient in-
sect, who skimmed swiftly away and
left the spot bare. Two more unsuc-
cessful attempts upon the poor mos-
quito's life exasperated the long lost
brother, and the scene became excit-
ing. Blow followed blow in quick
succession as the irate Californian,
danced in fantastic pursuit about the
room. Just as he had taken a care-
ful aim at the artful dodger, who
sat upon a panel of the door enjoy-
ing the sport, the proprietor of the
nea.nsion popped his head in and re-
ceived the whack intended for the
mosquito, full in the face. He laid
doaal unpremeditatedly and called
for the neighbors. When outside re-
inforcements appeared an entrance
was affecee'd into the room and a
fearful scene of ruin met the gaze of
the intruders. The only wliole re-
maining article of furniture -was the
bedstead, upon which sat the discon-
solate Californian picking the frag-
ments of the loolcing-glass out of his"
bare feet, and saying terrible things.
He was inconsolable, and next day
he left foa California without offer-
ing to pay for the broken furniture.

PITTSFIELD, ME., March, 1872.
MA James I. Fellows --Dear Sir Dur-
ing the past two years I have given
your dompound Syrup of Ilypophos-
phites a fair though some -what severe
trial in • my practice, and am able to
speak with confidence of its effects. . In
restoring persons suffering from emz.cia-
tion and the debility following diptheria,
it has done wonders. I constantly re-
commend its use to all affections of the
throat and lungs. In. several cases con-
sidered hopeless it has given relief, and
the patients are fast recovering ; among
these are consunaptive and old. bronchial
subjects, whoie diseases have resisted the
other modes of treatment. For impair-
ed indigestion, and in fact for debility
from any cause, I know of nothing equal
to it. Its direct affect in strengthening
the,nervous system renders it suitable
for the majority of diseases. lam, sir,
• Thomas' Eclectric Oil,
WORTH TEN TIMES ITS WEIGHT DI Gone. DO YOU
KNOW ANYTHDIG OF IT ? IF NOT, IT IS
TIME YOU DID -
There are bat few preparations of medicine
which have withstood the impartial judgment of
the people fOr any great leregth of time. One of
these is THOMAS' ELECTRIC Ora, purely a prepar-
ation of six of some of the beat oils that are known,
each one possessing virtues of its own. Scientific
physicians know that medicines may be formed of
several ingredients in certain fixed proportions of
greater power, and producing effects which could
never result from the use of any one of them, or in
different combinations. Thus in the preparation
of this oil a chemical change takes place, forming
a compound which. could not by any possibility be
made from any other combination or propOrtions
of the saine,ingredients, or any other ingredients,
and entirely different from anything ever before
made, one 'which protluees the most astonishing re-
sulta, and having a wider range of application
than any medicine ever before discovered. it con-
tains no alcohol or other -volatile liqaids, conse-
quently loses nothing by evaporation. Wherever
applied Iglu get the benefit of every drop ; whekeas
with other preparations nearly all the alcohol is
lost in that way, and you get only the small quan-
tity of oils which they may contain.
