The MosachpiIon, . .-

Exhibition was a remarkable piece of work-

sent by the Boy of Tunis, rind labeled “The

cinets of tthyrsa of Carthage, and in close
proximity to the Temple of Astarte, the chief
female deity of the Phoenicians,Carthaginians
and Syrians,and also worshipped by the Jews
during the times when idolatry prevailed.
The Mosaic Lion formed part of the panc-
ment which surrounded the temple dedicated
to Diana, a Roman goddess, twin sister Of
Apollo, and daughter of Jupiter and Latona.
Every representation upon this vast pavement
had relation to wild, beasts or to ,the chase,
and this is said to be the only one of the many
attractive objects of the walks which sur-

The Season of Intermittent".
All miasmatic complaints, in other words, all
disorders generated by unwliolesome exhalations
from the earth or water, are prevalent at this sea-
son. In every section subject to the visitation of
fever and ague, or other forms of intermittent dis-
ease, the causes which produce tlcse maladies are
now actively at work. This, therefore. is-a period
of the year when the inhabitants of such districts
should prepare their systems to meet the unwhole-
some condition of the atmosphere by a course of
tonic and alterative treatment. Foremost among
the invigorants, recommended by time and ex-
perience as a. means of fortifying the system
against'all endemic and epidemic maladies, stand

REGULATOR is no drastic violent pnrge,but a gen-

CONSTIPATION
Should not be regarded as a trifling ailment—in
fact nature demands the utmost regularity of the
bowels, and any deviation from this demand paves
the» way often to serious danger. It is quite as
necessary to remove impure accumulations from
the bowels as it is to eat or sleep, and no health
can be expected where a costive habit prevails.
SICK HEADACHE.
This distressing affliction occurs most frequent-
ly. The disturbance of the stomach, arising from
t 9 imperfectly digested contents. causes a. severe
pain in the head, accompanied with disagreeable
nausea. and this constitutes what is popularly
known as Sick Headache; for the relief of which,
take SIMMONS"LIVE_B REGULATOR or MEDICINE.
