LEMON JUICE FOR ACUTE RHEuMArIsM.-The
treatment of accute rheumatism with lemon Juice,
as noticed in the Scientific american more than
year ago, having been successfully practced in
Europe, has been tried here, and found to be a
very efectual remedy. DR.. T. d. Lee, of this
city, has communicated his experience with it to
the New York Journal of Medicine. He cites two
cases, one male and the other female who had
been subject to severe rheumatism for number
of years, and who were often troubled with acute
pains, severe swelings, and could find no efectual
remedy. He gave them lemon juice from fresh
lemons, in quantities of table spoonful in twice
the quantity of cold water, with little sugar,
every hour. The effect of lemon juice was almost
instantaneous in ten days the worst case was
cured, and in seven the other was able to 90 out,
and there was fexibility Of the joints after the
cure quite unusual in recovery after other modes
of treatment The "London Medical Times" d.
rected attention to this remedy for rheumatism in
1850, and we would state. that it may answer for
one person and not for another There are two
cases recorded in Bralthwait's Retrospect, Part
90, 1851, pages 81 and 36, where one patient was
efectually cured with lemon juice, after calcium,
calomel, and opium had been tried in vain, and
the other where lemon juice failed, and the pa
tient was cured with opium and calomel pills. taken
along with draughts Of the acetate of potash and
nitre in a camphor mixture.-Scient!Gc american.

Simple Habits of Queen victoria.

Our Queen has recently purchased a
Highland estate, says an English letter
writer, so that both she and her husband
are now Scottish landholders. | cannot re-
frain from telling you story I heard the
other night, of her simplicity of style in
dressing.
She was out in the neighborhood Of Bal.
moral, her Aberdeenshire country-house,
and sat down by the side of public road
to take a sketch-an art in which she very
much excels. A shepherd boy comes up
with drove of sheep, and they seeing a
person sitting on the road, would not pass.
''Gang out O. the road, woman" cried the
boy at the top of his voice. Sir James
Clark, or some other digniied person, has
tens to restrain the boys unwilling impu:
dence, but not before he has roared out with
more intense vehemence, "Woman, tell
you, gang out O the road" The Queen.
either too much occupied or too much a.
mused, never lifts her head, and perhaps
never heard him. "Boy," said Sir James.
"do you know whom you are calling to :"
81 neither ken nor care" rejoins the boy,
"Aats the sleeps road" "Be quiet. sir,
that's the Queen" "The Queen" !" whim-
pered the boy, all aghast at his temerlty,
and choked with sense of his presump-
ton; "Weel, if she be the Queen, what for
does she not put on claes that folk may ken
her byi"
have no doubt that all we'll bred ladies
will rejoice to find their good taste confirm
ed by the simple habits Of dressing OF the
first lady in the world.

The Light Of Heaven.

Kendall in one of his late Paris letters

of new and beautiful steamer, to be call
ed the Light of Heaven, which is shortly
to be launched at Glasgow for the Pacha Of
Egypt. Cleopatra's famed galleys could not
begin to surpass the Light of Heaven IN
magnificence, and she is destined to run on
the Nile as the Pacha's own pleasure boat.
Her engines are of 300 horse power, and
of the most beautiful make and finish The
fittings of the interior are gorgeous beyond
comparison, consisting Of papier.mache or.
naments and rich brocaded silks which will
alone cost $125, 900. The ceiling of the sa-
loon will be divided into number of pan
els of rich white silk, having upon the Gen.
tire the device of the crescent and the star,
encircled with most elaborate and richly
colored wreaths of Eastern flowers Of silk.
The borders of the panels are to be richly
ornamented Raffaelesque decorations. 9th
er portions of the ceiling, between the
beams, are to be covered with silk OF a
white ground and groups of flowers OF gold
thread. The panels on the sides are OF pa
pier-mache. The ottomans IN the saloon
are covered with cloth of gold, formed with
a warp of gold and weft of glass thread.
The awning of the deck is to be formed en-
tlrelv of richly brocaded k,the fringe be-
ing of gold and costing twenty guineas per
yard. The cost Of the silk for the awning
alone will not be less than $4,000,

A Chance for Theologians.

In 1774, Scotch gentleman left sum
of money, the interest of which he direct
ed should be given as prize, at the expi-
ration Of every forty years, to the author OF
the best work upon the evidences of the
existence of a supreme being. The prize
has already been once awarded, and the
second period of forty years will expire on
the first of January, 1854. BY that time
the accumulated interest will have amount
ed to tie very desirable sum of twelve
thousand dollars, all of which will become
the property of the author of the successful

Day and MARTINS Blacklng.

/
"Oh day and night but this is wondrous strange" "
The following curious history of Day 4
Martins blacling, by the manufacture OF
of which the late Mr.. Day amassed nearly
$500, 900, will be perused with INTEREST,"
Mr.. Martin was native of Doncaster, and
served his apprenticeship to barber, at
Gainsborough, which place he Quilted for
the metropolis, where he became journ-
eyman to the father Of Mr.. Charles Day,
his late partner, and who carried on busi-
ness some fifty or sixty years since, as a
perfumer, in Tayistock street, Coyent Gar
den. Mr.. Charles Day was also trisear,
but born in London, and they both cut their
way for few years over the heads of their
superors, till the following circumstance
happenedi ~
Doncaster faces have always been at
tfactive, and Mr.. Martin resolved to visit
not only this scene of sport, but all his rel
atives. He accordingly arrived there, and
sojourned at the house of his brother-in-
law, Mr.. Anthony Moor. who kept the
Kings Arms, in Sepulchre-gate. At The
same house soldier was quarterad named
Tom FIorry, who was servant to Captain
Wilson, then on the recruiting service in
that town the beautiful polish of Florrys
shoes caused the landlord NOT only TO adj
mire them, but, eventually to obtain the
backing recipe for quart of ale, which
was readily granted. This valuable docu-
ment, as it afterwards proved 10 be, was
presented 10 young Martin on his return 10
London, and hence the magnificent edificc,
No. 81 High Holborn, and its valuable ap-
purtenances. The "black diamond" recipe
was profered to young Mr.. Day, he having
more Of the ready than Martin, and soon
after business commenced in small way.
Schemes,of course, we're easily resorted to,
in the absence of 'pufs, 'prosaical and poet-
zeal, to bring this shining liquor into notice,
and amongst them the following Near
ly one hundred suits of left off liveries
were purchased in the purlieus of Petticoat
Lane, London, and having engaged as ma
ny bodies as suits, they were despatched,
alternately, to all parts of London, 10 in.
quire for Day s. Martins blacking. The
trick told; an article so much in request
must be valuable, and the perfumers, oil
men, grocers, &c., soon laid in stock, and
thus laid the foundation of an immense for
tune. All went on prosperously for many
years: nothing acent dozen but 'Day & Mar
tin," and they got up as rapidly. till at
length Day, who originally had "demon.
ish," made profer that himself or Martin
should quit the concern on the receipt of
910 900. Martin being minus that sum,
thought it advisable to accept, and he ac-
cordingly withdrew on handsome income,
which amounted to nearly $1,000 per an
hum. He built two houses at Doncaster, in
one of which he resided for some tune, and
then removed with his family to Sheffield;
or its neighborhood, where he expired
The poor soldier has been dead many years,
but his only reward was quart of ale.

A Romance.

An instance in affection came to our ears
day or two since, says the Pittsburg u
nion, of which we cannot forbear making
a note. A son of Erin who has been ab-
sent from the "home of his father for thir-
ty-fve years, on Monday came from Butler
county, and met in this city "the lady Of
his love- to whom he had pledged his af-
fections in early youth. Three thousand
miles CT water had not damped the ardor
Of his attachment and Immediately upon
their meeting he renewed the offer of las
hearts treasure. The proposal was ac-
cepted, and soon the twain were joined by
the "silken tie that binds two willing
hearts? :" Their heads were becoming
whitened by the frosts oftime, but yetthey
remained true to each other. Though far,
far asunder, heart answered unto heart, and
the clinging affection but ripened with the
lapsing OF years. Search the records of the
world and where shall we find aparallel
to this9 May the dews of Heaven distil
gently upon them as they wander hand in
hand down life's vale, and may no dimning
cloud obscure the sun of their happiness.
