little men ride very big horses, for If they
should fall, the probability is that they would
get hurt.
We hate snakes, unless they rattle. A
man is fool to be bitten after fair warning
We hate to see man without money, and

conscience is kept quiet by public opinion.
We hate to hear people in church sing
through their noses Instead of their throats.
1t may be very sanc,ifed way. but not a
pleasant one.
We hate to pay our own debts, but expect
every one to pay us.
We hate sin. and like religion.

ed in the lower circuits of North Carolina,
and owes its humor to the very fertile and
cultivated mind Of a lawyer, who is still
alive, but in distant Western State. All
the lawyers attending court about the year
1910 boarded at the house Of Mr.. S.,
who at the beginning of his life. as a publ
can was assiduous and provident, but: riches
multiplied, and Boniface became law,
crusty and pa.simonious. His accommo-
dations, as they are usually called. from
being the very best, had by degrees degen-
Grated into the very worst in the whole
country. This was borne with muttcrinss
from time to time until in fit ofdospcra,ion
the whole fraternity oflawyers, after m a,urc
deliberation in Congress assembled, Re-
solved to quit the house and 60 to another
in the same village. The duty of announc-
ing the separation was devolved upon the
gentleman above specified, who wrote the
following, and sent to the Landlord, signed
with the names of all the decidcnts in n

Apprentices in the Nduy.-Webelievcit is
not generally known among parents and
guardians, (says the U. 8. Gazette,) that by
law Of Congress in 1887, apprentices are
taken into our navy to serve until they are
81 years old. They are taught reading,
writing, arithmetic, navigation, and the art
OF fseamanship, and are well clothed. After
serving out the time Of their indcnturc, they
will be promoted to the situation ofgunncrs,
gunners' matos, quarter gamers, quatcr
masters, and other situations of ofrespecrability
on board ship according to their meri,s.--
This is ono step towards increasing the num-
Der Of native born seamen for our navy, and
1t will be tho means of giving employment
TO hundreds Of boys that might otherwise bo
brought up in idleness, which often leads TO
disgrace and ruin. We would be glad to
see law of Congress requiring our mcrcan-
tile marine to carry apprentices. Itccrtainly
would not be objected to ON the purt of our
merchants. whose ships arc no,c filed witt,
foreign seomen, Of every country, who cnn
not feel that interest in tho welfare of the
ship and cargo, that would be f Il by our
own hardy sons of tho ocean.

of raising blister:

ANEC DoTE OF Dn. RoGERs.-Thc Rev.
John Rodgers and several of his hearers
were once summoned to appear before Sir
Richard Craddock. n justice Of the peace,
for worshipping God according to the die
tates Of their conscience. While they were
waiting in the great hall, expecting to be
called upon. little girl, or 7 years old
who was Sir Richards grand daughter, hap
2cned to come into the hall, she looked at
Mr.. Rodgers and was much taken with his
venerable appearance. Being naturally
fond of children, he took her upon his knee
caressed hcr, ,and gave her some swcetmcats.
The child being particular favorite of her
grandfather, had acquired so great an as
cendancy over him that he could deny her
nothing, and possessing too violent spirit
to hear contradiction. she was INDUCED in
every thing she wanted. At one time, when
she had been contradicted, she ran n pen-
knife into her arm, to the great danger of
her life. This ungovernablo spirit was in
the present instance, over ruled for good.-
While she was sitting on Mr.. Rodgers knee,
eating the sweetmeats, she looked earnest
ly at him and asked, "what are you here
for, Sir" He answered, 81 believe your
grandfather 10 going to send me and nv
friends to gaol." Upon this she ran up to
the chamber where Sir Richard was, and
knocking with her head and heels till she
got in, she said to him, "What ore vou oo-

The Dying Mdn.-It is very terrible
and amazing thing to see man die, and
solemnly take his last leave Of the world
The very circumstance Of dying mon is
apt to strike us with horror. To hear such
man how sensibly he will speak of the
other world, as If he were just como from
it, rather than going to it; how severely he
will condemn himself for the folly and
wickedncss of his life; with wha, passion
he will wish that he had lived better, and had
served God more sincerely and how seri-
ously he will resolve upon a better life, if
God would be pleased to raise him up. and
try him once more; with what zeal and
earnestness he will commend to his bes,
friends and nearest relations virtuous an d
religious course of life. as the only thing
that will minister comfort to them when
they come to be in his condition. Such dis
courses as these are very apt to move and
affect men for the time, and to stir IN in
them very good resolutions. whilst the pre-
sent fit and impression lasts but because
these sights are very frequent, they have so
seldom any permanent effect upon men,
They consider that it is very common
cause, and sinners take example and en-
couragement from one another; every one is
affected for the present, few are so efiectualy y
convinced as to be-take themselves to bet

HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS. 2
|. The extraordinary reputation that DR..
Spohn's remedy for this distressing complaint
is every day gaining is certainly a matter OF
much astonishment. That so much suffering
should have existed for ages without any dis
covery of an effectual preventative or cure, is
truly subject Of much regret, but DR.. 5. now
assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince tile most credulous.
The principles upon which it acts are simple
and plain. 1t is an admitted fact this COM
plant, whether called Sick Headache, or Ner-
vous Headache arises primarily from the stom-
ach-those who think they have the Nervous
Headache may rest assured that this organ,
the stomach, is the first cause, that the system
has been viii tied or debilitated, through the
stomach, and that only through the same chan
mel must they expect restoration of the ma
|tural and healthy functions of the SYSTEM
THIS object, DR.. Spohn's remedy is eminently
calculated to attain. The truth of tbs posi-
tion cannot be controverted, and the sooner
sufferers with the headache become convinced
of it, the sooner will their sufferings end in
restoration of health. Dr.. Spohn pledges his
professionalreputaton on this fact. The rem
edy may be had ofapothecaries generally thro'-
