with which they cause new improvements to be

REMEDY FOR THE BITE OF A MAD DoG.-As
cry of mad dogs has been raised, the follow
ing, which we clip from an exchange, may be
worth perusal:
"a Saxon forester, named Gastell, now of
the venerable age of 50, unwilling to take to
the grave with him secret of such import, has
made public in the Leipsic Journal, the means
which he had used for fifty years, and where
with he affirms he has rescued many human
beisgs and cattle from the fearful death of hy-
dropaobia. Take Immediately warm vinegar
or tepid water, wash the wound clean there
with, and then dry it pour then few drops OF
muriatc acid, because minera! acids destroy
the poison of the saliva, by which means the
evil effect of the latter is neutraIized."

PowER.-Power, in its highest manifestation
springs from the bosom Of serenity, and with
out noiscare its amplest and its surcst tri-
umphs achieved. The grand movements are
silent ones, and peace with uncchoing tread
leads on its most stupendous results. Thus
the flood and the tempest, the earthquake and
the thunder, arc not the select symbols of ma
terial force. From their cIangor and fury issue
only insignificant and ilccting effects. But in
the soft dropping dews and rains, the Invisible
air and heat, and tho impalpabc elements OF
electricity, magnetism and gravity, arc found
the agents welding the most potent materia!
energies. Silently, peacefully they work, and
beauty, bcniguity, and wonder put momently
forth, and the seasons go interchangeably by
in magnificent procession, and the great seas
swing hihcr and thlher, and the ponderous
globe whirs with lhoughtlike celebrity on its
axis, and innumerable voids spin through the
infinite void. BE not then, the fool Of the SEN
ses, to fancy that energy is evinccd by turbu
lence and fume, or results thus wrought either
the greatest or most enduring.--B.

"They have a steamboat upon Tho

puts the waters in agitation for the
time, and leaves a wake Of troubled
waves behind him which lasts about
five minutes. He serves everybody
but himself, carries freight and 'passen-
gers in any quantity, and goes putting
down the steam Of life. Often his pow
ers are ovcrtasked, and the boiler
bursts, bnt fortunately it kills no one
