MISCELLANEOUS.

A TRUE SToRY.-lt is remark gener'
ally applicable to the character VI Inc
"better halr' of man, that though she be
given TO censure and admonsh her lord
in those eloquent philippics, famllIar'y
called curtain lectures or even enforce
ber nrccepts in the less delicate mode Of
applyine the broomslick to his pate-yet
sbe will allow no mortal but herself TO a.
buse or WELD the chastening rod over him
with impunity; she is ss ready to take up
the cudg gel in his defence as for his correc-
ton. And the rule has been noted TO work
both ways. 1t is singular and admirable
trait in woman, that she will unhesitating
ly defend the life, property, honor-in
short, "all and singular the rights and cre-
dts" of her husband, against the aggres'
sions of third persons,-even though she
be most scandalously abused and i'll treat.
ed by him.
We have not ventured these speculations
without ga case in point" to back us. A
respectable old acquaintance Of ours says
that when he was young man full Of The
ardor and chivalry of youth, this adven.
ture befel him. While in strange part
of the country, he came upon cabin from
behind which he heard the angry voice Of
man mingled with the screams Of wo.
man, and at regular intervals hickory
singing through the air as if well laid
on. He rode round the cabin TO get sight
of the cause of all this clamor, when he
saw burly looking fellow thrashing his
wife like fury, with stick too formidable
to be within the meaning Of the statute
On perceiving our friend, the belligeranls
suspended operations-the "shower of
timber" ceased to fall, and there was a
great calm of few moments duration.-
The young man whose wrath had sudden
ly waxed hot against the cruel husband,
cried out, "You brute! you rascal! throw
down that whip, and don't touch the wo-
man again, or I'll wear it out over your
own ugly carcass! you savage, you!"
Who should respond to this valiant de-
hance but the injured lady herself? Turn
ing her blowzed hair out of her face, and
giving her fist portentous shake, she
squalled out, "He's as good as you are,
you gawky, good for nothing creeter
you!"-Greensboro' (N C.) Patriot.

DEATH FROM TIGHT LACiNG.

Two weeks since, while on visit 10
the house of a respectable, long expert
enced physician in one Of the Southern
Boundary towns in New Hampshire, he
gave me in substance the following ac-
count as near as can recollect.
He was called week or two previous,
to visit young female. l think over
twenty years of age, who was distress
ingly i'll of complaint of the lungs, la
boring under great difficulty of breath
ing, which his discrimination led him at
once to impute to long continued prac-
tice of tight lacing "a practice which is
Staying its thousands and tens of thou
sants in our enlightened land. There
was, in his opinion, all adhesion of the
lungs 10 the chest, and a consequent in
Aamatiou which had proceeded to such a
height that death was inevitable. Little or
nothing could be done. The poor girl,
after few days of acute suffering, fell a
viclim-(what shall I say! | am unwil-
ling to wound the feelings of her friends)
to her folly anu vanity. 1t would not be
suicide, because no such result was con.
templated, though the deed was done by
her own hand. We can call it no softer
name than self slaughter for such even
an external examination Of the body prov
ed il to have been.
The shoulder blades were found 10 be
literally Tapped one over The other; the
false ribs had been so compressed that the
space of only about an inch and half re-
mained between them; and so great was
the curvature Of the spine which had been
girded in by the cords of death, that af-
ter the corpse was laid out for intermcnt,
two pillows were put under the arch
thereby formed, while the shoulders rest
ed on the board. She was large healthy
person, and was ignorantly led by the
desire TO please, TO sacrifice her life at
the shrine of fashion, anil the prevailing
false idea Of beauty Of form. She was
said to be of an amiable disposition ard
correct moral habits otherwise.
My own mind was so impressed with
the recital of this story, that could hard
ly forbear weeping over the folly, and
weakness, and ignorance, and wicked
ness Of my sex. inwardIy wish for the
ability to ring this case of suffering and
death in the ears Of every female In our
land, until their Voluntarily assumed

REMEDY FOR SCALDS.

tBY A PHYSICIAN OF PHILADELPHIA.
1have so often seen remedies for human
ills given to the newspapers, and at once
consigned to oblivion, that l have for a
great while hesitated to present this RENE.
dy to the public. For fourteen years l
have prescribed it. and witnessed its ef-
fects. l deliberately say from fourteen
years experience, that no disease or inju-
ry to the human system has more GER
tain remedy than this, for the most dis.
tressing of all injuries, that Of scalds and
burns. The relief is almost instantaneous;
from a minute to half an hour will usually
find foil relief from pain. No matter
what the extent of the burn, even if all
the skin is removed from the body.
The first knowledge ! had of it was the
almost miraculous cure Of little boy,
who fell into half hogshead of boiling
water, prepared for scalding bristles from
swine. The entire person and limbs of
the boy passed under the water up to the
chin, so as to scald the whole neck. On
removing his cloths, nearly all the skin
followed from his neck, hands, back, abb.
domen, and almost every bit Of skin from
his lower extremities! In this deplora-
BILE condition, literally fayed alive, with
scalding water, the remedy was prompt
ly applied, as momentary application,
until physicians should arrive. Two emi-
nent physlcisns soon came, and on learn.
ing the extent of the scald, pronounced it
a certainly fatal case, and directed the
boy to remain with the remedy over him
until he should die. In six weeks he was
reported quite well, with scarcely a scar
on any part of his person or limbs. The
remedy increases in value from the fac.
that under almost any circumstances it
may be obtained. 1t is as follows:
Take SCOT from chimney where wood
is burned, rub it fine, and mix one part
SCOT to three parts, or nearly so, Of hogs
lard, fresh butter, or any kind of grease,
that is not sailed, spread this on linen or
muslin, or any cotton cloth for easier or
more perfect adoption. If In very ex-
tensive burns or scalds, the cloth should
be torn into strips before putting over the
scald. Let the remedy be freely and fully
applied, so as to perfectly cover all the
burned part. No other application is re.
quired until the patient is we'll, except 10
apply fresh applications Of the SCOT and
lard, &c.
In steamboat explosions, this can in
nearly all cases be ct once applied, and if
done, many valuable lives will be saved,
and vast amount Of suffering alleviateJ.

THE WAY TO BREAK Down Press.
1t has been justly said that an indepen-
dent Press rests on firmer basis for sup
port than one of contrary character;
and it has been supposed difficult to break
down such Press. There is way in
which it can be done however. And how
does the reader think this work can be ac-
complished! BY the telling of all sorts of
lies concerning it and its Editors? No. BY
threats! No. By getting a l'reling for
the especial purpose Of writing it down!
No.. By the misconduct of nnprincipled
political Postmasters! No, reader; but
this is the secret: Let any considerable
number of its subscribers conclude that
the Editor is not in want Of the little sums
they severally owe; let its friends habitu'
ally delay the fulilment of their promises
and contracts with the Editor, and the
most prosperous establishment in the
world must come down al last"
