On one of the steamers, the other night, the
captain, as usual was looking around to see
that every body was tucked in" and all was
right, when going into the ladies cabin, he
spied pair Of countryish boots on the extre-
mites of their owner in fearful contrast with
the snow white quilt that supported them. The
considerate captain shook Mr.. boots gently, and
intimated to him, in the mildest way, that it
was against the rules Of the boat for gentle
men to wear their boots in bed. As soon as
the awakened owner was able to comprehend
the case, he remarked very coolly, "Oh, it
won't hart EN-, I guess; they are an old pair.
I'll risk 'em.''
A letterin an exchange says neighbor had
pair of working oxen, whose necks became
very sore. He covered that part of the yoke
resting upon the neck with sheet lead. They
got well almost Immediately, though constant
ly kept at work. II suppose the lead, being
good conductor of heat, drew,:off the infiamma-
ton, and thus enabled the sores to heal.
