Evening Hours of Mechanics.

"What, says the North of Scotland Gazette, in article in favor oi the early closing of shops" "what have evening hours done for mechanics, who had only ten hours toil7 What in the moral, what in the religious, what in the scientific world 2 Hearken 10 these facts? One of the best editors tue Westminster Review could ever boast, and one of the most brilliant writers of passing hour, was q cooper in Aberdeen. One ot the editors of Lon. don daily journal was baker in Eigin; perhaps tue best reporter on the London Times weaver in Edinburg; The editor ot the Witness was stone mason. One of the ahlest ministers in London was a blacksmith Tn Dundee; another was watchmaker in Bant; the late Dr. Milne of China was a herd boy in Rhyne; the Principal of the London Mis- sonary Socety's College at Hong Kong was sadder at Hantiy; and one of the best missionaries thai ever wen, to India was tailor in Keith The leai- ing machinist on the London and Birmingham Rai.- way, with E700 year, was mechanic in Glasgow and perhaps the very richest ironfounder in Eag- land, was working man in Moray Sir James Clarke, her Malesiy's physician, was druggist in BanH. Joseph Hume was a sailor fst, and then laborer at the Pesiia and mortar in Montrose; Mr. Macgregor, the member for Glasgow. was poor boy ih Rosshire; James Wilson, the member for Westbury. was poughman in Haddington; and Arthur Anderson, the member for Orkney, earned his bread y the sweat of his brow in the Ultima Thule" What an array of great workingmen Like New England, the excellent parish school system of Scotland, has made her sons honorcd and renowned throughout the world. The evening hours of our young mechanics arc valuable than they aware of, and 1t would be well if in onr cities, some better places of resort were 10 ba found for The moral and mental encouragement of our young men.

A man with an irritable temper is more 10 be pltied than one bowed to the earth by poverty The latter evil can be ameilorated, while the former is devil that makes havoc with all of the finer quali- ties of heart and mind, taking the helm from req. son. and running the possessor Perpetuay against rocks and rough corners A pesulent man, in a family of children. ofh own. Is worse than small case of the small pox, from his influence On their young minds. The old sdAgs; " As the old cock crows the young one learns,' is grand truth; and we see il here illustrated Those old fellows who sputier and grcwi round their homes, are sure to be initiated faithfully. by the little watchers for parental squalls, and of hornets is made where peace and harmony alone should dwell. The ffso- tous man should be consigned to valesian and peni tence, and kept by force from spreading his ccHts zion. What right has man to poison tho happi- ness, any mofe than the food of his fanlilyl Tue text might be made to apply to si the relations of life, where misery Is cultivated and growling made the order of all days. There are commaniiies and parties, where the old saw about "dogs with sore heads" would give but faint indication of their condition of mind.

Robert '. walker on the cholera.

The Secretary of the treasury has recently writ ten avery long letter detailing his experience in regard to the Asiatic cholera when it last visited this country, in 1892, The mode of treatment in Mississippi, is stated with much mnuteness. The secretary disaglees with the doctors in one remalk able particular. He does not believe tn the use Of opium for the that it fails to the system or to accelerate the action of the caomel. He high " recommends the practice of Dr. Cartwright, of Naichez, Miss as follows
 l. To watch the frs, symptoms Of ihe disease, and administer the proper remedies without mo- ment delay. ?. To administer fofthwith, after the first symptoms, dose composed of ten grains Of camphor, twenty grains of red pepper. and twenty grains o caionei, to be taken in powders, if prac- tcable-ii not. m plis. ,. As soon as the dose was swallowed, to stfip the patient and rub him gently, but etieetualiy, with some stimulating oint- inent, by as mahy hands as cond have convenient access, the rubbing to be conlinued SO as not to occasion fatigue until the medicine produced its proper effect
 The cure was chiefly effected by ,he operation of the calomel upon the liver, in changing tue ricc- water secreions 10 those snally produced by caIo- mel, which generally took place, according io my recollection, in from one 10 two hours after the dose WIS repeated. The object of the camphor and red pepper was to accelerate the action of the caloaeL as well as,to the energies oi the system. The purpose 1.-the stimulating ointment was 10 maintain warmth at the surface, to arrest h co.dness of the skin, which is so marSe.i symptom ot the dsease 10 l.eepup the circulation oithc blood anu 10 prevent that settling of the blood upon the central organs, and its eo1glation, ing it's resenbance,o arrv substance. whichis so marked an aecompsl imens ofthe disease"
 A Russian physician al Kole cures the cholera, at the beginning Of the disease, by giving one glass and hail Of spirits of wine in glass of water with four CT five teaspoonlnis of powdered charcoal anu three drops of oil of mnt, and causing ihe patient to hring prest iration by violent exercise As an aniidoe the doctor himself takes every morning a teaspoonu Of charcoal beat up in fresh egg
