The revulsion Of feeling was so strong,
the Joy so great, that Mrs A. fell down
perfectly ilscnsibIe. In this state she was
found by her husband, who could scarcely
believe his eyes when he saw what maternal
love could effect Yes the alteration of
mother had done that which art had vainly
essayed When Mrs A. again became
sensible, the malady had left her she was
perfectly cured.
The noise had arisen from the tables hav-
ing given way beneath the enormous weight
OF the bottled water, which breaking on the
marble floor, had caused the dreadful crash
which had alarmed the sufferer. Under the
greater alarm of danger to her child, her
own feelings had yielded, aud pain had fed,
come by mothers fond affection
The black people swear, even to this day,
that it was " the devil escaping from his vic
tim" that upset the tables, and threw down
the bottles for, as Jassaree Mahommed 1.-THE
aforementioned Bramin) wisely argues, I" II
debbil not fly away, how debbil missec fly to
her ohuck,rah7 ?" (child.) DIR. M doubts
this assertion, but still can give no satisiac-
tory reason for the sudden yet permanent
disappearance of the malady, which had
been so long tormentng his fair patient.
Mrs A. lived many years happily and
healthily in India after this occurrence, and
ate and drank her sea stores OH Eastern
land As to her child, he grew up to bless
his parent, and write this sketch.

LAwYERs.-The October number of the
Democratic Guide, in reviewing the proceed
ings of the late long session of Congress,
states that, of the 800 members composing
that body, 245 were lawyers. In this state
ment, very good reason is found why the
people are saddled with so much expense,
without an adequate equivalent through the
long and protracted session of the national
legislature. More attention to the business
of legislation, rather than so much speech
flying upon unimportant matters, would far
better subserve the interests of the people.
1t behooves our farmers, mechanics and
working men to look to this matter. Let
them select more men from their own num-
Der to represent them in the national coun-
cils Speech-making seems part of the
lawyers profession and study, and as long
as the people continue TO fill the two branch
es of Congress with lawyers, they may ex-
pect that no little time will be FILTERED away
in idle defamation. Jefferson said that he
"never heard Gen. Washington or DR. Frank
lin speak more than ten minutes at a time,
nor to any but the main point which was to
decide the question" How different were
those plain, simple and efficient Legislators
from the political gladiators who are now
honorcd with seats in Congress.

A TOUCHING INcIDENT.--While the Rev
Mr.. Chambers was addressing Temper
ance Meeting in Philadelphia, the other eve
ming, as we learn from the Ledger, a man
who had been occupying seat in distant
part of the room, arose with little boy in his
arms, scarce six years old, and came forward
to the speakers stand all gave way for
him. He placed his child on the stand, and
while the tears were fast running down his
cheeks, and with his trembling accents ad-
dressed the speaker "My little boy said to
me, Father, don't drink any morew Gen
tlemen, have taken m, last drink" The
effect produced upon the audience bcggars
all description. The speaker and the whole
audience were bathed in tears and such
were the good effects Of this example, that
scccnteen others came forward and signed
the pledge. MIR. Chambers, with tears
streaming down his cheeks, caught the boy
in his arms, excaiming, "Wel may we see
that the grave OF Alcohol has been dug by
this little boy p

PATENTs.-The Commissioner Of Patents
makes the following publication in correc-
ton of some Measurements that have appear
ed in the public prints, with regard to the
last acts Of Congress respecting the Patent
Office:
The new act does not alter the fec or du-
ration of Patents for such objects as have
been hitherto patentable-the amount Of
which is still thirty dollars and the term
fourteen years. The new law extends pro-
lection TO a Re,c class Of cases, viz: De-
signs embracing patterns for silk, wooden and
cotton fabrics, for busts, statues or has reiels,
or composition in alto or basso relieve; such
protection having been granted by foreign
countries, and not till the present law by the
United States.
The new law extends the privilege of re-
newal Of lost patents TO those granted before
the fire Of December, 1886 the former law
limiting it TO those actually lost before the
fre-ihus excluding many lost subsequent to
the FIRE, and before recording new, leaving
the inventor remediless
American ministers, consuls, &c residing
abroad, are now authorized to administer
oaths to inventors. by the former law, such
functionaries were not PERMITTED 10 perform
this act--ihus subjecting inventors to great
inconvenience.
The Secretary of the Treasury is now au-
thorized to repay money paid into the Trea-
sury for the patent office by mistake-thus
precluding the necessity of making special
application to Congress for reliei.
The new law prohibits, under penalty,
stamping the word PATENT on articles vcnd-
ed where no patent has been obtained, and
compels patentees to stamp OH the articles
vended by them, the date of the patent, thus
affording the public information Of the du.
ration of the patent.

Singular Discorery.-On Wednesday last

Singular Disoorery.-On Wednesday last
n couple Of Irish boys were tending cows at
East Cambridge, on the road lined with
woods leading to the Colleges, the dog with
them, in paving the ground, dug up what
turned out to be siirer dollar The curl
osity of the boys having been excited by this,
they went TO work and digging in the ground
came to box containing one hundred and
sixty-one Spanish mild dollars, with par
eel of bills which were so crumbled and
moulded, that they could hardly be handled.
1t appeared from inspection, that they were
issued over twenty years ago. At short
distance from the spot where the dog paved
up this treasure, stands tree, upon which
is carved the name of Michael Martin-who
was hung some twenty years since at Lech-
mere Point, now East Cambridge, for high
way robbery. We merely state the facts.
leaving this reader to maks his own comments
and differences. American.

Curious Geological Exhibition.
the curiosities now exhibiting at the Liver
pool Institute is Mr.. John Austin's collec-
ton Of animals Of opposite nature living in
one cage. There are eighteen rats, four
cats, four kittens, two hawks, two owls,
eight Guinea pigs, five starlings, one squir-
rel, two rabbits, six pigeons, hedgehog.
and forty young ones, all living in harmony
The rats run about and fondle with the cats,
the starlings fly on the cats heads, and rest
there without being disturbed the hawks
fly about at pleasure, and rest on the same
perch with the pigeons aud starlings, and not
the least discord prevails. As one family,
they feed out Of the same dish, and are per-
fcctly harmless This rare and curious col
lection has attracted great notice.-N. Y.

Books are discipline of humanity" a
kind Of public monitor, a written conscience,
from which nothing is hid; the councils of
princes, "the secrets of the grave" are bro't
before it, arraigned, and made to stand or
fall by their own merits. The consciousness
that this is the general language and means
of communication throughout the civilized
world, gives strength and boldness to it; and
there is nothing that is not more or less amc-
nable either to the rules or the verdict of this
formidable tribunal. Power could at one
time easily overawe and stifle the scattered
and imperfect expression of popular feeling /;
but from the moment that il obtained the
assistance of the press as its organ, it be-
came an overmatch or dangerous antago-
mist to its hated rival. BY a habit of rellcc-
ton and abstraction, rank and station are
stripped of their imposngphysical attributes,
and reduced to the value aud importance that
they must be supposed to retain in the eye
of reason and philosophy. Let any one, for
instance, read the history of the Kings of
England, and he will no longer think in his
heart that King of England can do no
wrong.-London Ne,o Monthly Magazine

A Wstakc.-A very good story is told in
the Picayune, of woman out west, who
had suspected her husband for visiting a
neighbours wife. The absence of the hus-
band one night induced her to suspect where
he had gone she dotted shawl and bonnet
to reconnoitre, and placing herself at the
window, had all her horrible fears realized
by seeing through an imperfect blind, her
husband 60 to her hated rivals dormitory,
having placed his clothes on a chair near the
window, Her plan of revenge was soon
formed. She managed TO seize his ward
robe, and pushed for home, bearing glorious
y the evidence ofhs disloyalty. Entering
her own bed room, she locked the door and
in sleepless bed waited her lords return,
who soon approached, and finding the door
locked, demanded entrance No answer
was deigned by the wronged and enraged
wife. % it, said he "may wife is hon
est, she can't have any body here" and with
kick of his foot opened way to his wife S
presence. On the appearance of lights,
what was her surprize to find him with all
his clothes on What was his to find a
mans clothes on chair in the room, aud the
window hoisted We don't
know all that passed, we only hear that the
clothes she had carried away belonged to the
husband Of her suspected rival the whole
truth ofwhch being brought TO light, recon
ciled man and wife.

ReSOiufiOn.-There is certainly nothing in
man so potential for veal or woe as firmness
of purpose. Resolution is almost omnipo-
tent. Sheridan was at first timid and oblig-
ed to sit down in the midst of speech
Convinced Of, and mortified al the cause of
his total failure, he said one day TO a friend,
" 1t is in me, and it shall come out" From
that moment he rose and shone and triumph
ed in a consummate eloquence. Here was
true moral courage. And it was well OBJ
served by heather moraist, that it is not
because things are difficult that we dare not
undertake them. Be thou bold in spirit
Indulge no doubts, for doubts are traitors.
In the practical pursuit of our high aim,
let us never lose sight of it in the slightest
instance; for it is more by disregard Of
small things than by open and fragrant Of
fences that men come short of excellence.

The British National DeJf.-A very
striking fact respecting the National Debt
is stated in the last number Of the Eding-
burgh Review. In 1883 the whole amount
of the debt was gao millions, and more than
thrcc-iourihs of the entire revenue was eaten
up by its interest. At the end ofthc war in
1915 it had increased TO nearly 900 millions,
and yet the annual expenditure more than
tripicd the interest Of this enormous sum-a
proof that the nation, which thirty years be-
fore had been nearly ruined by debt of240
millions, was now able to support with safe
ty, though not without suffering, burden
nearly four times as large. From this, as
the writer observes, it is easy 10 see that
the increase of our national membranes,
rapid as it has been, has been less rapid
than that OF our national resources that we
now bear debt of 500 millions with less
difficulty than we bore one Of so millions
century ago.-MOntrcdt COurier.

summer in this city, in company with Cap

passed several months here on leave of abb
sence. He made the acquaintance in the
family where he found the lady, by letter
from the American Minister, in France, Mr..
Cass, and has thus abused the hospitality of
his friend, by clipping with young lady un-

AT Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, there is a
fire engine which was built in London during
the reign of William and Mary, in the year
1868. This engine was shipped from Lon
don with the colonists in l742, and yet exists
such as it was received, with the exception
of some common blue paint which has been
put on lately.

Porcr of Imogination.-An honest New
England farmer started early one cold day in
winter with his sled and oxen into the forest,
half mile from home, for the purpose of
chopping load of wood. Having felled
tree, he drove the team alongside, aud COM
menced chopping it up. BY an unlucky hit
he brought the whole bit of the axe across
his foot with a sde-long stroke. The i'm
mense cash so alarmed him as to deprive him
of all his strength. lie felt the warm blood
filling his shoe. With great difficulty he
succeeded in rolling himself on the sled, and
started tho oxen for home. As soon as he
reached the door, he called eagerly for help.
His terrified wife and daughter with much
effort lifted him into the house, as he was
wholly unable to help himself, saying that
his foot was nearly severed from his leg
lie was laid carefully on the bed, grooming
all the while very bitterly. His wife hastily
prepared a dressing, and removed the shoe
and sock, expecting TO see desperate wound,
when 10 the skin was not even broken
Before going out in the morning, he had
wrapped his feet in red flannel, to protect
them from the cold; the cash opened this
TO his view, and he thought it flesh and blood.
His reason not correcting the mistake, all
the pain and loss of power which attends
real wound followed. Man often suffers more
from imaginary evils, than from real ones.
