Rather EalGsaisitiYe.

We heard friend relate the accom-
panying incident the other day, with not
little zest, and to the amusement of
good many by-standers
jumping into an old-fashioned stage
coach, last month, in company with nine
others, to jostle over ten miles of I'M
finished road, between Pittsburg and
Philadelphia, was very much amused
with the following characteristic dia-
logue between regular qucstion-ask-
ing sDown-Easter' and a high-heeled
Southerner. We were scarcely seated,
before our Yankee began:
Travelling East, expect p
"sYes, sir
"'Goin' to Philadelphia, reckon p
"sNo, SIR
"'Oh, ali: to Now York, maybe p
"sYes, SIR
"'Calc'latin' to buy goods, l pre-
suma?'
"sNo, sir
"Never ben there before, wouldn'.
wonder p
"'No, sir never
"'New York is a wonderful place.
"sSuch is my impression, sir
Got letters, expect p
"'Yes, sir J; am provided with let
ters of introduction
Wouldn't mind showin' you reound
myself a spell, if you wanted
4 thank you, sir; but | shall not
REQUIRE Vo,lr assistance
"This last remark of the polite but
reserved stranger, was poser and the
'inquisitor' fell back moment to take
breath, and change his tactics. The
half-suppressed smile upon the faces Of
the other passengers soon aroused the
Yankee to still further exertions and
summohing up more resolution, he be-
gan again:
Stranger, perhaps you are not "a
ware how almighty hard it is for YAM
kee to control his curiosity. You'll
please excuse me, but really would
like to know your name, and residence,
and the business you follow. | expect
you amt ashamed of either of EN- SO
now won't you just obleege me p
"Ihis last appeal brought out our
Southern friend, who, Using up to the
extremist height allowed by the coach,
and throwing back his shoulders, re.
piled:
My name is General Andr ev
| Washington. reside in the State o
Mississippi. am gentleman of lei
sure. and am glad to be able to say, of
extensive means. | have heard much
of New York, and / am now on my
way to see it; and if / like it as we'll

"Then was heard shout of stem tor
an laughter throughout tho taeo
coach and this was the last of Tho
conversation !"

HINTS FOR CHRIsTIAa TRAVELLERS
Garry your bible and read it. Have a
place for prayer and visit it. Try to do
aarae good every day. Find place IN
trunk or carpet-bag for tracts and good
books to lend or distribute. Make no
concealment of christian hopes. Fash
inables may shun you because you seek
and enjoy Gods favor but one smile OF
the Savior is worth more than all the
batteries of Fifth-avenue or Beacon
street, and good conscience is better
than the admiration of Newport or Sar-
atoga. Be consistent ; be cheerful De
useful; be happy; then will home De
doubly blessed when you return to H.
and the world will be the better for your
summer excursion.

QUESTIONS must forthwith send in to us
the seals of office, and then they may
retire to their native villages with re-
gard to the rabble of wolfsh policemen
we shall, as soon as we succeed, hang
up their heads as warning to all. Be-
ing now apprehensive lest local banditti
should take occasion from our move
ments to breed disturbances, we wish
you people clearly to report the same
and we will Immediately extermihate
them. IF any of the citizens or villa

darins in their tyranny, and resist eul
troops and adherents, not matter wheth-

we will sweep them from the face Of

ADVICE TO GlRns.-Somebody gives

worth volumes of fiction and sentimen-

want women for wives. A bundle of
gew-gaws, bound with strang of flats
and quivers, sprinkled with colongne,
and set in carmine saucer, this is no
help for man who expects to raise a
family of boys on veritable bread and
meat. The piano and lace frame are
good i'll their places, and SO are ribbons,
frills and tensels, but you cannot make
q dinner of the former nor bed blanket
OF the larrer. And awful as auoh az l.
dea may seem to you, both dinner and
bed blankets are necessary to domestic
happiness. Life has its realities, as
well as fancies but you make it all de-
corations, remembering the tassels and
curtains, but forgetting the bedstead.
Suppose man Of good sense, and, OF
course, of good prospects, to be looking
for a wife, what chance have you to be
chosen? You may cap him, or you may
trap him, or catch hiin, but how much
better to make it an object for him to
catch you. Render youself worth catch
ing, and you will need no shrewd mother
or brothers to help you to find mar
ket.

Mustard, in small quantities, stimulates
the appetite and increases heat. In
large doses it produces vomiting, diarr-
hea, and inflammation of the organs of
digestion. External applications are at
tended with irritation and inflammation of
the skin.-Horse-radish is less aromat-
ic, but more acrid, than musturd, and,
therefore, occasions quicker ard more

a mere infusion of the leaves suspends
the irritability of the muscles. DIR.
Lettsom states that an infusion Of tea
produced a paralytic effect upon the
nerves of frogs. Taken either into an
empty or overloaded stomach, the use of
tea is followed by lassitude, giddiness,
want of appetite, fatulence, oppressive
feelings, trembling, stupidity, and, under
continued use, BY weakness of the stom-
ach and the memory, nervous affections,
hypochondria, and even commissions and
epilepsy. The symptoms are intensified
and increased if tea is made of a strong
ly fragrant article, taken frequently and
hot, inasmuch as it then occasions very
facilitating sweats. The effect of the
tea is worse on lean persons, with tense
muscular fibers, than on corpulent,
plethoric ones.-Cofee stimulates the
nerves and she muscles, increases the
peristatic motion of the stomach and
the appetite, accelerates the circulation
of the blood, the secretion of saliva. A
frequent and copious use of il is at:en-
ded with COMPOSITIONS, trembling, palpi-
tation of the heart, oppression, stupe-
faction, weakness of the nervous sys-
tenn, spasms, hypochondria, hysteria,
weakness of the eyes, paralysis, diges-
tive disorders, hemorrhoids. The use
of coffee is particularly deleterious to
plethoric and hectic persons, and to
those of choleric temperament.
