TIE RULING Passion STaoNG--in the fear
Of death.-We have lately heard an anecdote
showing the strength Of the ruling passion
when death was feared, which is too good TO
be lost. A young and industrious tradesman,
who had, by his economy and strict attention
to business. acquired neat li,ile sum, with
part Of which he purchased farm not thous.
and miles from this place, the necessary stock
and implements for its cultivation, ard had a
little left, was suddenly taken i'll. Medical
advise was sought. and prescriptions made
out. While suffering from the effects Of med !.
icine, he imagined tina. the end Of time, so far
as he was concerned, was close at hand. and
calling his friend to his bedside, to arrange
hia worldly affairs for his last long journey,
he said" Oh, - it is hard for a man
who has long toled to get little ahead TO
have TO die jus, as he is beginning to live a,
ease and lay up little! All, me! Do you
think ,cs can sell that t,oo horse uag gon for cash

VIRTUE Cold WATER.-Dr. Shew, in a let
ter published in the N. Y. Tribune thus speaks OF
the curative virtues Of cold water in cases which
have been believed to be beyond the reach fined
icine.
1t has been the general opinion among physi-
clans that hydrophobia resists all curative means
The immortal Pressnitz has succeeded in curing
it in dogs. The animals arc made fast, and then
dcaehed necessarily with very cold water until the
| symptoms abate. The paroxysms at first increase
After douching, Perspiration is-brought on by
erings to retain the heat.
Sir Charles Scudamore, we'll known medical
author and practitioner of London, says that in the
melancholy disease of hydrophobia and tetanus,
the most active OF the water-cure processes well
deserves trial. Many years ago one of bis horses
was seized with locked jaw and the poor animal
appeared to be fast approaching to hopeless con-
dtion the farrer having exerted all his skill in vain
The late professor Coleman by chance arrived at
the time and advised repeated cifusions of the
spine with the coolest water from buckets. AT
ter about an hour the spasms became relieved and
a complete recovery ensued.
The douche. a jet Of water Of any required size
and height, can be made most powerful agent
Even drops Of water from height make strong
impressions upon the living body. The douche
is certainly one Of the most successful means for
tanning the furious maniac
The dozche, or something much like it, has been
introduced into the prisons, the means Of "tam-
ing" refractory convicts. None have been found
able to resist its influence.

TO DESTROY WORMS ON CABBAGE

Geat'emen,-I am not aware that the following
easy and simple method of destroying worms on
cabbage, has ever appeared in print. 1 believe
it was discovered by an unlearned person, and
hope will not be less eficacious on that account.
AS the worms are already commencing their dep
relations, it will be we'll to publish it soon.
AT night (about sun DOWN. strip off one of the
lower leaves and lay it the top of the cabbage,
back side down. In the morning very early take
1t off, and the whole, large proportion of the
worms of that cabbage will be on it, and can bc
disposed of as ar.y one fit. Two or three tri-
alswill efectually free the cabbage from all worms.
believe it never fails except when the nights arc
quite COOL w. CHANDLER.

How To CLEAN FowLING PIEcE.-Stop up

pour quicksilver into the barrels, roll it along them

quicksilver through piece of thin washed-leath-
er. and it is again fit for use, for the lead will be
left in the strainer.
