AS NEAR AS HE COULD GET
In every country under tho sun, and at some time or other during each revolution of the earth on its axis, a phenomenon ia born. Sometimes a boj, sometimes a girl, but oh ! so clever. They generally grow up to be the pride of the family circle, and a standing nuisance to tbe neighborhood, and oocas&ionally one is permitted to survive until it discovers that it doesn't even know aB much aa the old lady in the ptory book, whose romantic history is interwoven with the manners and custom of the age in which she lived. One of these has been camping out in the wet, and has got to own what he calls : — "An exacerbating neuralgic agony traversing the ischiatio nerve, and thenco along the peroneal surface of the leg to the sole of the foot." He is a tiinsmth by trade, but that's as near aa he could g et to the trouble, and the kindly ohemiet to whom be told it said; "Young man, don't be a fool. You'vo got a touch of aciatia,and 80 have hundreds of others just now. The bent thing in the world for it that I know ofiaSt.Jaoobsoil.lt will cure every kind of rheumatic pain speedily; but for your other complaint I fear thero is uo remedy Bhort of sudden death."
