GETTING or IN THE WORLD. There are

Leaving off bad habit for good one is getting on

the world. Money is a very useful article in its
way, it is possible to get on with but small means;
for it is mistake to suppose that must wait for
a deal Of money before we do anything. Persever-
ance is often better tbana full purse. Many people
lay behind, or miss the way altogethe because they
do not see the simple and abundant means which
surround them on all sides; and it SO happens that
these means are aids Which cannot be bought with
out money. Those who wish to get on in the world

How TO ARREST CHOLERA. The Editor O.
the Louisrile( Ky) Journal insists that the ravages
of that dreaded pesence were arrested in that city
by efficient sanitary regulations, under the auspices
of DIR. Theodore S. Bell. The Journal says
The process followed here so successfully was
simply that soon as the disease broke out.
the spot whence the malaria rose was speedily
discovered, and sand was strown thick over
the decaying vegetable matter, and, on the sand,
lime was literally scattered Meanwhile the occu-
pants ground floors removed healthy places
This process has never failed to stop the Cholera
within few days, and we earnestly recommend ii
to the attention ofpersons residing other parts Of
the country
Whenever the Cholera makes its appearance, lei
those persons who have been accustomed to lodging
on the ground floors leave them. very large pro
portion of the victims Of Cholera dodgers on these
floors. Night is the season in which the disease
makes the most havoc, and the nearer you approach
the ground the more deadly it becomes. Persons
whose sleeping rooms are elevated as general rule
escape Cholera, unless they are grossly imprudent
In diet exposure Bad food kills its hundreds when
Cholera is about, while bad air kills its thousands
When neghbOrhood is infected, let all those who
live in shantees and one story houses be Immediate
ly removed, and those who have occupied owel
stories and have upper stories to retreat to do so
The happiest results have followed an observance o.
this course here.
