Cure for the Dysentery.

A highly respected and aged cor-espon-

of many years, to cure the worst cases of
dysentery: a

then take it off the fire, but continue stirring
until the mixture is quite cool. 1t is then
ready for bottling or use. The dose for an
adult, ifthe disease is very violent and the

three times day-morning, noon, and
night. IF not very severe, twice q day,
morning md highland if the attack is
slight, one spoonful taken at night, will
have the desired effect. For children and
young persons, in proportion to age; for
infants teaspoonful is sufficient. 1t is
also a radical cure for summer complaint

curious anecdole, which strikingly illus.
trates very remarkable feature in the

"Prince Louis Napoleon. like his uncle,
is very superstitious, and always carries an
amulet, taken from The tomb of CHARLIE

have suid in this country, long before he
left it to accept the Presidency ofthe French
Republic-"lt may appear presumptious
in me to wear that amulet, but ! have an
Unborn conviction in my mind that am
one day to be fhe ruler of France. When

of the press in Paris and then attack Eng.

ma has on her best dress that is made TO

1t wears but two clean frocks week.
Il has no objection, when lying on its back
in tho cradle, wide awake, to have dozen
flies walking over its little face in different
directions, and doesn't get mad because it
can't hit,hem in tho right spot with its little
fat, useless hands. 1
1t never goes into fits when the large
black cat jumps into the foot of the cradle,
and stands whisking her tail round, and
staring at it with her great green eyes.
1t is not necessary for visitors who wish
to tend it, to dress in oil.cloth or fndia>rub>

RIGHT TO THE PorNT.-Almost any one
can be courteous in a neighbours house. If
any thing goes wrong, or is out of place, or
is even disagreeable, there it is made the
best of, not the worst; even efforts are made
to excuse it, and to show it is not felt, that
it is attribnta BILE to accident. not to design !;
and this is not only easy, but nature, in the
house vf friend. l will not, therefore,
believe that what is so natural in the house
Of another is impossible at home, but main
tain, without fear, that all the courtesies Of
social life may be upheld in domestic So
cieties. A husband willing to be pleased

neighbor's house-and wife as intent on
making things, comfortable every day to
her family, as on set days to her guests

YANKEE ALL ovER-ExpREssIvE PAT
or1sM.-A Canada paper tells the follow
ing story. 9.ss,r.
A gentleman who was travelling down
on the st. Lawrence on one Of the Ameri-
can boats, on the 4th of July, got into con-
yersation with an old American who, from
his grey looks and apparent age, might
have taken part in the Revolution. The
conversation gradually turned to the ami
versary which is celebrated on the day in
question, when it was remarked that the
celebration Of the 4th of July in the States,
would be done away with. This apparent
ly reused the octogenarian; raising himself
to his full height, and turning to our ac-
quaintance, he said:-@Now. mark me,
stranger, but the first thing you'll hear
read on the day Of judgement, will be the
Declaration Of American Independence
and that day ,ciN be on the 4th Of, July.

THINs-Thought engenders thought.
Place one idea upon paper, another will fol-
lowlt, and still another, until you have
written page. You cannot fathom your
mind. There is a well Of thought there
which has no bottom; the more you draw
from it the more clear and fruitful it will
be. IF you neglect to think yourself. and
use other peoples thoughts, giving them ut-
terance only, you will never know what
you are capable Of. At first your ideas
may come in Jumps homely or shapeless
but no matter-time and perseverance will
arrange and refine them. Learn to think,
and you will learn to write-the more you
think, the better you express your ideas.

RE-APPEARANcE OF THE SEA SERPENT.
1t appears the sea serpent has turned up
again, having lately been seen off Halifax,
N. s., doubtless on his way to look after
the interests Of our fishermen. The Halifax
Colomist gives the following account of the
visit of his snakeship:
@The monstrous fcritter' was seen by
Mr.. George Osborne, of Cow Bay, on Sat
urday, as he is willing to testify on oath.
Itwas quite near to his boat,and is thus de-
scribed by Mr.. Osborne:--'Ifs head was
exactly the shape of serpent, and, being
above water, appeared to be about five
feet in length, by about seven in circumfer-
ence, the body, which was principally under
water, could net have been less than 60 or
10 feet in length
