The PLAGUE Referring to the apprehension
said to be felt at New Orleans respecting The ap-
proach of disease more fatal than the cholera,
called the plague, which is said to be prevailing
in some parts Of the West, the Boston Medical
Journal has the following:
1T is certain, from the,accounts received both
here and in England, that the true plague has
been introduced into MADEIRA, and its work has
been really appalling The question has frequent
" been agitated. Will that dreadful disease
ever reach this continent! THERE'S reason Iso
believe it will the wonder is~whY il has not al
ready. Our comr.s.ciia.t intercourse is extensive
with various ports of Africa and the :Asiatic
shore of the Mediterranean, where this great
scourage is never dead or dying, but simply re-
posing from one period to another, like fatigued
giant, to gather new strength for renewal Of
slaughter Should it come, it may be hoped
there will be found more science and stronger
barrier of medical skill to meet and disarm it Of
its terors. than has been exhibited in tropical
climates, or in the filthy scourge-nvitng regions
Moslem Turkey. Plague appertains to the Arab
in this age and where the same condition Of
things exists as characterizes their mode Of life,
their social condition, and the absence of all
common-sense efforts to avert or arrest it., will
have an abiding foot-hold."

How TO GET sLEEP--How to get sleep is to
some persons matter Of high importance. Ner-
yous persons who are troubled with wakefu!ncss
and excitability usually have a strong tendency
of blood on the cold brain with cold cxtremities.
The pressure of the blood on the brain keeps it
in a stimulated or waketul state, and the pulsa-
tions in the head are often painful. Let such
rise and chafe the body and extremities with a
brush or towel, or run smartly with the hands
to promote circulation and withdraw the exces
sive amount of blood from the brain, and they
will fall asleep in few moments. A cold BATH
or sponge bath and rubbing, or good run, or
a rapid walk iii the open air, or going up and
down stairs few times just before retiring, will
aid equali4ing circulation and promoting sleep.
These rules are simple and easy ofapplication IN
castle or cabin, and may minister to the comfort
of thousands who would freely expend money
for an anodyne to promote Natures sweet re-
storer, balmy sleep"

How TO MARRY OFF AN OLD MAZDA young
lady in the neighborhood of L., found herself,
some seven or eight years since, arrived at a
proper age to marry, and as she was both rich
ard beautiful, she did not want for suitors But
Henrietta was little like the manageable girl
told of by the good Lafontaine. She was some
what difficult in her tastes, and found one too
tall, another too short, this one too thn and that
one too fat, with innumerable other deficiencies
lust as Objectionable as these. Those she had
| rejected mortified at their want of success, de-
tered others who night have wished to try their
luck with the young lady, so that at last she
found herself almost deserted and forced to the
extremity of "settng her cap" as it is called for
husband. Several years were thus passed,
when one day an uncle, who was well acquaint-
ed with the subject, and to whom the troubles
of Henrietta had been told, undertook to get her
married. Being supplied with money and full
power in the premises, he took his neice to the
south of France, and while on the way held with
her this little discourse:
"My dear nece, the great point Of success in
this world is to seize the opportunities when they
arise. Now you have permitted yours to slip
by. This is unfortunate, to be sure; but what is
to be done? A maiden Of your age finds
husband with difficulty. It is not so with a
young widow. Henceforth you are no more
Mademoisclle Henrietta Y, but Madame
O., your husband, who lived only three
months after your union, was an officer, who
died of fall from his horse while Hunting. He
has no children"
"But my dear uncle
"Leave it all to me- and let us purchase the
necessary dresses and marriage gifts which your
husband would have given you. See! Madame
o., here is your marriage ring. R"collcct
now, you !9le to put on mourning figure and
serious air"
Arrived at Marsees, the young widow produ-
ced great sensation in the social, ircle i'll which
she was presented. The great question among
the Young men now was who should obtain the
hand of Nadine O.. Many proposed, and
one of them was at last accepted.
The evening before the marriage the uncle
took his future nephew ASIDE and said, "my dear
sir, we have deceived you" How!" exclaim-
ed the young man; IAN not then beloved"
"Ol, far from it." Have you deceived me, then,
in respect to her fortunc!" "On the contrary,
she is richer than | told you" "What is it,
thcn?' "Alas, a little pleasantly we had one
foolish day-my neicc is not widow" What,
is Monster O. still lvingm g know not
how that may be, but NY ueicc is still a maiden"
At these words, the future nephew fastened to
protest that far from being an obtacle, this news
served only to Increase hi desire for the fulfil
mcnt of the marriage. The union was not de-
laycd. A trip through Italy was taken as their
wedding tour before the happy couple returned
again tothe paternal roof

BEAUTIFUL SENT1MENT-A man without some
sort of religion is, at best, poor reprobate, the
football Of destiny, with no tie linking him to
infnity and to wondrous eternity that is with
in him; but woman without it, is even worse
a fame without heart, arainbow without color,
a flower without perfume. &.
A man may in some sort tie his frail hopes and
honors with weak shifting ground tackle, to his
business of the world; but weuaanewithout that
anchor which they call Faith, is adrie and wreck
A man may clumsily continue akipd Of respon-
sibility or motive, but can 6nd no basis in any
other system ofnght action than that Of aspirit-
ual faith. A man may craze his thoughts and
his btain to thoughtfuness in such poor harbor-
age as Fame and Reputation may stretch before
him; but a woman-where can she put her hope
in Storm if not in Heaven.
And that sweet trustfulnrss-that abiding love,
that endearing hope, mellowing every scene of
Iife lightning them with the pleasantest radience
when the worlds cold storms break like an army
with smoking cannon-what, canssbestow it all

with cannon? Who that mas enjoyed the love

And before her l was'silen',
Wrapt in a delicious spell.
