JEsUITs oUT-JEsUITEp. Some time be-
fore the abolition of the Jesuits gentleman
OF Paris died, and left his estate to that re-
ligious body, On condition that on the re-
turn of his son, who was then abroad, the
worthy fathers should give him whatever
part they chose. When the son came, he
went to the fathers and received but a very
small share indeed, the wise sons ofLoyola
choosing to keep the greatest part TO them
selves The young gentleman consulted
his friends, and all agreed that he was with
out remedy. At length barrister, to whom
he happened to mention his case, advised
him to sue the convent, and assured him
that he would gain his cause. The gentle
man followed the barrister's advice, and
the suit terminated in his favor through the
management of the advocate, who grounded
his plea on this reasoning: "The testator
has left his son that part which the fathers
should choose: ala partie qui lear plairoit"
are the express words of the will. Now, it
is plain what part they have chosen, by
what they would keep to themselves. My
client then stands on the words of the will:
let me have says he, the part they have
chosen, and / am satisfied" 1t was ac-
cordingly awarded to him without hesita.

WHITE MUSTARD SEED. This seems to
be the best remedy extant for dyspepsia,
and we from proof know it to be So The
seeds Ia tea spoonful is a DOSE swallowed
whole, have an extremely beneficial effect.
This remedy is one of the vegetable heal
ings most favored by ourselves. Nature, in
her narcotics and poisons, exhibits her pre-
ventives and her remedies. Even the toad
is aware of them. But white mustard seed
is undoubtedly remedy for dyspepsia. 1t
would be deemed hyperbole for us state
cures which this simple remedy has produce
ed. We have before us pamphlet Oh this
subject, and we can give the name of re-
spectacle man who has been cured of this
complaint by this medicine. There is the
same difference between the two as there is
between healing a pulled nose, and pre-
vention of pulling. Remedy begins before
i'll, and medicine heals i'll afterwards. Re-
medy is natural, medicine, in general, arti-
fetal. We pale faced dyspeptics, swallow
white mustard seed.-BoSton Times.
BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT. The heart ofman af-
ter it becomes sordid and worldly, retains many
delicious sentiments of young remembrance. as
beautiful blushing !; but of all the gentle affec-
tions of generous humanity, there is none that
endureth longer, nor beareth fresher so mitch
of the pure, the excellent, and the exquisite as
the gracious argess of parental love. It is the
artery that supplieth the quality of tenderness
in the spirit of man and all that hath the holy
name of charity and mercy, draw some portion
Of their virtue from its ventricle. But in it's
flowing there is mystery to cause both wonder
and SORROW; for often it engendereth but aches
and anguish, and yet those to whom it is foun-
tain of such affliction, it would seem to give
only an augmentation of delight-making them
cling to their children, long after they have
outgrown all need of care; prompting them to
encounter singular humiliations, and to fondle
over them, even while they be fatally tainted
with the foul plague-spots of crime as if they
loved the more, because they esteem the less.
A LIVE ToAD IN THE STOMACH Mr. R
Hampson, Surgeon, has furnished us with tho
following remarkable account of the existence
of that disgusting reptile, toad, in the stom-
aeh of boy, named Butterworth, of Ainsworth,
in this vicinity. The father of the boy "a lad
of about fifteen years of age) waited on Mr.
Hampson on Saturday morning, with his son,
and described his complaint. He had been
much afflicted for three years with a severe
gnawing pain in his stomach and left side,
which was, at times circulating and to use
the boys expression " he was sure there was
some varmint within him" Mr.. Hampson
recommended course of medicine one dose
was administered ON Monday, and another
on Tuesday ; and by the effects Of the medi-
cine, large, full grown and perfect toad was
voided r!she boy took it into the house to his
astonished parents, when dragging its legs un-
der its belly, it expired 1t has nothing about
it distinguishahle from the common species Of
field toads. The boy was doing extremely well
under such circumstances, and has since enjoy
ed sounder sleep than for the last two years.
