Freedom from Danger in Descending
Wells.

Quite number have lost their lives from
gas by descending into wells, for the purpose of
cleaning them out, and the Cleveland (Ohio)
Herald gives an account OF case which recent
ly occurred in Columbus, in that State, where
four persons, after being nearly deprived of
life in well, were only rescued from their
perilous situation at their last gasp. The cause
of death in such cases is corbohc acid gas, or,
as it is :amiliarly called, ''choke damb." 1t
prevents respiration; it extinguishes fame. and
is generally found at the bottom of wells, it
being of greater specific gravity than air. 1t
is generated by vegetable decomposition, and
also by combustion, and commonly finds its
way into wells from seams in the strata of the
earth, from adjacent places where chemical ac-
tion is going on. Any well may be descended
with perfect safety by the use of quick or fresh
burned lime, recently Stacked, or without be-
ing Stacked. When there is choke-damp in a
well it can easily be known, by letting down a
lamp or candle by cord. If the light burns
freely, il is sign that no choke-damp is there,
and the well may be entered with safety but
if the candle burns dimly, or is extinguished,
1t is sign of danger. To remove this gas, so
as to render it innoxious to the person entering
the well, all that has TO be done is simply TO
throw down some pieces of fresh burned lime
into the water, and agitate it with the bucket
or the rope, or with pole. Another plan is
to slack the lime in small heap, mix it with
water in tub, and throw down three or four
pailsful into the well. Or if it is desired TO
enter the well and not disturb the water in it,
take about half pailful of Stacked lime, mix i,
quickly with cold water in a small tub, and
lower it down into the well by cords attached
10 its lugs, SO as TO rest on the surface of the
water. The contents of this tub must be stir
red up for ten minutes with pole in the well,
and then left suspended for an hour. When
drawn up, any person may descend the well
with safety. The philosophy of this Is, that
moist lime has great affinity for carbonic acid
gas, and 1t therefore absorbs it rapidly from the
atmosphere. No person need be afraid of de-
scending into well ifhe pursues the directions
given. By letting down candle into the WE'LL
after the lime has been allowed to play its part,
It's light will indicate when it is safe 10 descend.
For the safety of life, we hope this information
will be circulated far and near.-Scentifc

tween Railways Regulators and ordinary pills
We answer that pills, they are ordinarily prepared

gatve pills. and those which excite the secretion Of the
liver and called mercural liver pills. Roadway 5
Regulators resemble pills merely in shape but differ in every

Queer EMPLOYMENT.

We heard pretty good one the other day,
which we think merits wider circulation
than 1t has got yet. The story runs, that
some honest-faced Hoosier, went into fancy
store in Cincinnati, in hunt of situation.-
The proprietor or head clerk was sitting in the
counting-room, with his feet comfortably
cooked upon table, and contemplating human
life through the softening influence of cigar
smoke. Our Hoosier friend addressed him
nodestly, as follows Do you want to hire a
hand about your establishment, sir!' The
clerk looked up indiferently, but seeing his
customer, concluded 20 have some fun out of
him, SO he answered very briskly, at the same
time pulling out large and costly handker-
chief, and blowing his nose on it :-' Yes, sir,
what sort of situation do you want!'-
'Well, says the Hoosier, I'm not particular
I'm out of work, and almost anything'll do for
= while Yes, well, can give you situ-
alton if it will suit you,' and he made another
deposit in the handkerchief. What is itl-

There's not cheaper thing on eartn'

Or thousands gained year.

'Ifs virtues tirmest shield;
And adds more beauty to the night.

For mortals to increase.

That gems the hlly's breast;
A talisman for love, of true

As smiles the rainbow through the cloud
When threat'ning storm begins
As music mid the tempest loud,
That still its sweet way wins
As springs an arch across the tide,
Where waves conflicting foam,
So comes this scrap to our side,
This angel of our home.
What may this wondrous spirit be,
With power unheard before
This charm, this bright divinity
Good temper-nothing more.

And can the poorest peasant lift,

A Glass from Congress Spring

A correspondent of the Christian lntelli-
gencer, writing from Saratoga, speaks thus of
the far-famed Congress-water -
.One of the wonders of the world is Con-
sress Spring. From out of that small foun-
tain is issuing a stream that waters each day
three or four thousand guests; that gives their
chief value to magnificent hotels, equal In
splendor to the Irving House and the Astor
that is supplying the druggist shops with Con
gress water, even in the Mississippi Valley.

Women should shun Men Of bad
Character.


Did woman see the responsibility of the sta
tion she holds in society-did she feel how
much she is the arbitress of mems destinies on
earth, nay, even beyond it. how different would
she act! Instead of dispensing her smiles
equally among all men, she would show by her
discountenance of vice, how hateful it was to
her; now matter how talented man was, how
graceful in his manners, or pleasing in his per-
son, unless virtue was the guiding star of his
conduct, she would Danish him from her pres
ence, as being unworthy of breathing the
same air with her; she would shrink from his
society as she would noxious reptile. Is
such the case /! No! No matter what a man s
vices, if he is handsome, brilliant in converse
ton, and versed in the arts of fattery, all the
smiles aud attentions are lavished upon him
that ought to be bestowed only on the viftuous !;
while the man who is endowed with every
good quality that can render him estimable, if
wanting in the snowy requirements of society,
is treated with the utmost Indifference; this
gives rise 10 The too generally received opinion,
that the worse a man is, the more agreeable he
is to the women. Can it then be wondered at,
that to meet her in society, win her affection
by thousand nameless attentions, and slight
them when won, is the Pastime of an hour TO
those honeyed aatterers, those destroyers of
woman's happiness, who, like gilded serpent,
captivate but to annihilale. Were they regard
ed as the pests of society instead of being treat
ed as its ornaments, the race would disappear.

Side Winds,

l have heard tina, full wind behind a ship
drives her not SO FAST forward as a side wind,
that seems almost as much against her as with
her; and the reason, they say, is because full
wind fills but some of her sails, which keep it
from the rest, that they are empty; when a
side wind fills all her sails, and sets her speed
lily forward. Whichever way we 60 in this
world our affections are our sails; and accord
ing as they are spread and filled, so we pass
on swifter or slower, whittier we are steering.
Now if the Lord should give US full wind
and continued gale of mercies, it would fill but
some of our sails-some Of our affections
joys, delight, and the like. But when he
comes with side wnd-a dispensation that
seems almost as much against us-then he fills
all our sails-takes up all our affections, max
ing his work wide and broad enough to enter
tain them every one-then we are carried fully
and freely toward the haven where we would be.
