How TO CURE A CoLD.-Of all means
of curing a cold, let man eat nothing
whatever for two days and his cold will
be gone. provided he is not confined in
bed, because, by taking no carbon into
the system by food, by consuming the
surplus which caused his disease Ly
breath, he soon carries off his disease by
removing the cause. This will be louud
more eifrctual if he adds copous water
drinking TO prolracted fasting. BY the
Time person has tasted one day and
night, he will experience freedom
from pain and cearnesS OF mind, in u
delightful contrast with mental stupor
and physical stupor by colds. And how
infinitely better is this method of break
ing up colds than medicine. Greylock

CrNEAs, THE EpiRorE-The allusion
ofM. Kossuth, in his speech OF Wednes-
day evening, TO Cineas, the Eprote, re-
quired some Of his hearers 10 turn to
their classical dictionaries. There they
learn that Cineas was n Thessalian, the
friend and minister Of Pyrrhus, King Of
Epcirus. He was the most eloquent
man Of his day, and reminded his hear
ers of Demosthenes. whom he had heard
speak in his youth. Phyrhus was wont
to say that 1.-THE WORDS of Cineas had
won him more than his own arms -
After the battle Of Hcraclca, he was
sent on an embassy to Rome with prOpo-
sails of peace from Pyrrhus; and such
was his wonderful memory, that (wc'
are told) on the day after his arrival he
WAS able TO address all the senators and
knights by name. The terms he offer
ed were, that all the Greeks in Italy
should be lett free, and that the Italian
nations, from Samnium downwarGs
should receive back all they had forfeit
cd TO Rome Hard as were these con
diiions, such were the necessities Of
Rome and the persuasivencss of Cireas
that the Senate would probably have
yielded, # the scale had nor been turned
by Tie dying cloquence of old Appius
Claudus. The ambassador re urncd and
toli the king that there was no people
like the Romaus--thdt their city wds
tempie, their Senate an assembly ofhings.
The felicity Of the orators alusion is
not impaired by the indirect and unin-
tended compliment to himself; for we
do not believe that CIneas, with all his
pcrsuasivcness, argued his cause more
cloqucntly before The Roman Senate
