DR HALL's WAY OF TREATING A BAD CoLp.
"A bad cold, like measles or mumps or other
similar ailments, will run its course Of about ten
days, in spite of what may be done for it, unless
remedial means are employed within forty-eight
hours of its inception Many useful life will
be spared to be increasingly useful, by cutting a
cold short of, in the follo,cing safe and simple
manner. On the first day of taking cold there
is very unpleasant sensation Of chillness. The
moment you observe this, go to your room and
stay there keep it at such temperature as will
entirely prevent this chilly feeling, even II it re-
quires hundred degrees of Fahrenheit. 1nad-
dition, put your feet in water. half leg deep, as
hot as you can hear it. adding hot water from time
to time for quarter Of an hour, SO that the water
shall be hotter when you take your feet cut than
wnen you put them in it; then dry them thor
oughly, and then put on warm, thick woolen
stockings, even if it be Summer, for Summer
Gods are the most dangerous; and for twenty
faur hours eat not an atom Of food; but drink as
largely as you desire of any kind OF warm teas
and at the end of that time if not sooner, the
cold will be efectually broken, oithout any medi.

NEAR THE GoAL---To the privlcdged one who
is surely near the goal the noise and turmoil ol
life have passed away The hopes it once in
spired have long since departed. He looks on
infancy with a placid smile and says, I shall
soon know what the childhood of q new exist
ence Isl" on youth, and says, " shall soon
put on immortal youth - on manhood, and
says, ~ shall soon attain the stature of a per.
feet man in Christ Jesus. 0, to him who hath
loved me, and hath given himself for me, te
him be glory now and evcrmore!"
"0uly waiting till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
AT whose feet long have fingered,
Weary, poor, and desoate.
Even now hear the footsteps,
And their voices far away;
II they call me am waiting,
Only waiting to obey"

A SOURCE OF SMILEs.-Dr. franklin, in hav-
ing noticed that certain mechanic who worked
near his Office, was always happy and smiling,
ventured to ask him for the secret of his con-
slant cheerfulness. No secret, Doctor" he
replied. :; d" l have got one of the best of wives,
and when go to work, she always has a kind
work of encouragement for me /; and when 60
home, she meets me with smile and kiss, and
the tea is sure to be ready; and she has done 80
many things through the day to please nae, that
I cannot find it in my heart to speak an unkind
word to anybody"

TRUE Esy.-Real courtesy, said Mr..
Giles, in his lecture on Don Quixote. is distinct
from the courtesy which blooms only in the smile
of love ane beauty, and withcrs and cools down
in the atmosphere of poverty, age and toll
show me the man who can quit the brilliant So
ciety of the young to listen to the kindly voice
of age--who can hold cheerful converse with
one whom years has deprived of Oharms--show
me the man who is willing to help the deformed
who stands in need of help, as it the blush Of
Helen mantled on her cheek-show me the man
who would look no more rudely on the poor girl

INTEREsr.-No blister draws sharper than in.
terest does. OF all industries none is comparable
to that of interest 1t works dav and night. in
fair weather and in foul. 1t has no sound in its
footsteps, but travels fast. 1t goaws at mans
substance with invisible teeth. Itbinds industry
with its film, as fly is bound 10 a spiders web
Debt rolls man over and over, binding him hand
and foot and letting him hang upon the fatal mesh
until the long legged interest J. devours him.
There is no crop that can affordsto pay interest
money on a farm. There is but one thing raised
ON farm like il. and that is hslJ Janada thistles
which swarms new plants every me you break it
root whose blossoms are very prolific, and every
flower father of million seeds. Every leaf is an
awl, every branch spear, and every single plant
is like platoon Of bayonets, and field full o.
them is like an armed host. And yer farmer

Man KILKED BY AN ELEPHANT, AND, THE
ELEPHANT SHoT.-On Saturday morning, when
about five miles from Camden, the elephant be
longing to Baily & Co. Circus Company became
vicions, and killed horse which happened to be
near him. Fearing that he might reach the
other horses and the cages containing the animals
the first care of the attendants was to destroy
the bridge, SO as to cut off bis approach to them.
Mr.. George West, who, it seems was accusom-
ed to the management and disposition of the ee
phant, did not fear him in the least and, iudg-
ing from his actions that he was already subdued,
designed pnnshing him, and thought it unneces-
sary to secure him for that purpose; but on his
approach, the elephant struck him with his tusks,
killing him instantly and then shook him violent
ly with his trunk. This was witnessed by most
of the members of the company sblt they were,
of course, unable to render the least assistance.
MIR. Baily, one of the preprisiors, knowing
that it would be dangerous to keep an animal so
unruly, and fearing the consequences to either
the company, or to visitors of the exhibition, de-
termned to destroy him The DeKalh rifle corps,
OF Camden, commanded by Captain Villepigue,
with number of citizens, came 10 the ground
and opened brisk fire upon him, soon putting
out his eyes. BY evening it is supposed some
one hundred and fifty balls had been put into him
but with scarcely any effect beyond binding him
On Monday morning the fire was renewed, ant
shortly, with terrible roar, his life was extinct
Over three hundred bullets had penetrated differ
ent parts of his body. His carcass. is aow lying
in pond near the scene of the occurrence, int
which he had retreated. The animal was value,
at about $40 900. Mr.. " est, who thus met will
SO melancholy fate, was, we learn, native O
