McFarland made the following statement to a Tres re- porter a few days ago: “I have sold Jackson’s Common-Sense Liniment for about six years, and parties who first puachased it are still using it and speak in highest terms of its virtue. I have used it in my family for a number of years and cheerfully recommend it for aches, pains, spraine, etc., as the very best lini-| ment I ever used.” Mr. Campbell, of Nevada, was in the city Saturday, and dropped some thirty odd dollars in the till at the! American Clething House. He states that he came expressly to Butler to buy an outfit of clothing for himself and children, and his reason for sc doing was that he could get better goods, save railroad fare and make wages by so doing, as goods were sold so much cheaper in Butler thanin Nevada.

Remarkable Circumstances with Which the Expeditions Are Attended. = The ant cities, as they ought to be: called, of Brazil. are of such amazin, size that they have more the charact of structures reared by human hands_ than that of monuments of industry and skill. They are con-> ical mounds of clay, which their ting” architects rear to the height of ten or twelve feet; their circumference is” nine or ten feet. A hard, yellow clay forms the external coat; the inside is divided by a number of horizontal floors or stories of a hard. black earth, in thin plates, which some times shine like Japan-ware. : These habitations are peopled by” myriads of ants of a large size, and a” brown color. They have the power. of exuding from their bodies a visei@= fluid, by which they moisten the clay~ to the consistency fit for floors Some species form co’ q ways in this manner, and tunnels OF avenues of this description have been” found stretching for a considerabl distance from one settlement to an- other, and through these the ants arel enabled to make pretty long journeys = unseen. They sometimes migrate, and thelr expeditions are attended with truly remarkable circumstances. In fact, they resemble on a small scale, the roads of Attillt and his million mounted barbarians into the fruitfuly and glowing plains of Italy—leaving a parched desert in their wake When these insect Huns set out in such en= terprises, they proceed right forw: ina straight line, just as the bee flies to its hive, and they dev. everything in their way which is eat ble, likea cloud of locusts ‘‘warp! on the wind.” i It once happened, during one ¢ these ant expeditions which was unde taken near the city of Rio de‘Janeire that a garden obstructed their li of march—a deep ditch of water in p ticular seemed an unsurmountable ob stacle; however, a stick’ happened ad» p cidentaily to be lying across it; this tl ants used as a bridge, and over it poured by myriads, so that ina hours the garden was swarming of them, and every thing of a vegetabl kind disappeared.

Butitt | is only folly to lay down a general rulé 4 upon the subject. : Some men are fit for nothing all days: after they have risen early every mo ing. Their energies are dead their imaginations are heavy, spirits are depressed. = It is said you can work so well in @] morning. Some people can, but o can work best at night; others, in the afternoon. Long trial and periment form the only conclusive t upon these points. As for getting up early because Profj- All-Gammon has written letters to the papers proving the necessity of it, le@ no one be goose enough to do it. We all know the model man eighty: “I invariably arise at five; work three hours, take a light brea fast—namely, s cracker and a pinch of! salt; work five hours more; neverg| smoke, never drink any thing but barely water, eat no dinner, and go bed at six in the evening.” a If any body finds that don sort of life suits him, by ail means him continue it. But few would care to live to eighty on th terms. Ifa man can not get all ered and crumpled up on easier co tions than those, it is almost as t that he should depart before he is nuisance to himself and a bore to every body else. School-boys, and young people gei erally, ought to get up early, for it is} found that nine-tenths of then stand it, and it does them good.* But let no one torture himself the thought that he could have b twice as good a man as he is if he hag risen every morning at daylight T es habit would kill half of us in less th: five years.—Medical Classics. —The German Emperor lately ited the barracks of a dragoon ment, and while the men were in iness the commanding officer was an hour late.
