''Sir, will cure you in less that two minutes

sure can do it. Hold up high above your
head . fingers of your hand; lean back in
your seat, open your mouth and throat so as
to give free passage to your lungs; breathe
very long and softly, and look very steadily at
your fingers" In less than the time specified
the cure was performed, one hiccup only oc-
curing during the trial. The patient could
not express his gratitude, while the practi-
toner only extracted from HIM as fee the
promise that he would extend the knowledge
which he had impaired as freely as he had

NEwsPAPERs.-A man cats up pound of
sugar, and the pleasure he has enjoyed is en-
dcd; but the information he gets from the
newspaper is treasured up in the mind, to be
used whenever occasion or inclination calls
for it. A newspaper is not the wisdom of
man or two men it is the wisdom of the age
of past ages too. A family without news
paper is always half an age behind the times
in general information, besides, they never
think much, or find much to think about.
And there is the little ones growing up in ig-
norance without taste for reading. Besides
all these evils, there's the wife, who, when
her work is done has TO sit down with her
hands in her lap, and nothing to amuse her
mind from the tolls and cares OF the domestic

EARLY RISISG Doctor Wilson rhiIir, in

EARLY RIsING.-Doctor Wilson Philip in
his "Treatisc on Indigestion" says AL
though it is of consequence to the debilitated
to 80 early tc bed, there are few things more
hurtlnl to them than remaining in it too long.
Getting up at an hour Or two earlier, often
gives degree Of vigor which nothing else can
procure. For those who are not much debil-
itated and sleep well, the best rule is to get
out of bed soon after waking in the morning
This at first may appear too early, for the
deb llitatcd require more sleep than the heal
thy but rising carly will gradually prolong
the sleep on the succeeding night till the
quantity the patient enjoys is equal to his
demand for it. Lying late is not only hurt
full, by the relaxation, but also by occupying
that part of the day at which exercise is most
beneficial"

FORCING AND LIFTING PUMP.

TENIIIS PUMP has advantages over any other
l. in use in several particulars. Its action
is such that the water is constantly rushing
forward III the same dire elton, without re-
action in the cylinder, whether the piston
rod moves up or down, by which great
amount Of poweri is saved, and more water
passed through Il cylinder of the same ca
pacity than by those where the water is first
drawn into the cylinder, and then suddenly
reacted and forced out, q difference ABOUT as
great as that bet,seen keeping lrdgoh, hedrHy
ioaded, in motion rhem started, mud stopping and
starting crery rod. 1t is more simple IN Its
arrangement. There are but tro ralres in
the Pump, both of which are connected with
pistons, which, together with the valves, may
be easily removed and repaired by any one
who can turn a screw or cut piece OF leather
to u given shape; thus it will be seen that we
have a Double Acting Forcing and Lifting
Pump, with no more machinery or liability to
get out Of order than the Single Acting Lift
ing Pump. Another great advantage Of this
Pump is, that the pstons are always under
water, by its popularity Of action, ana no
air can consequently pass them; 1t does not
depend on stuiling box to form vacuum
| either way, for though one is used in the
| forcing form in this Pump, the pressure is
| always outward, and the air can be no pos
| siblity go in, and it will raise water at both
motions Of the rod, whether the top OF the
| cylinder is open or not, it is therefore Il
superior Double-Actng Lifting as well as
Forcing Pump. All experience has shown
| the great difficulty Of Keeping either stutiins
| boxes or pistons, which are constantly wear
ing, so tight as to prevent the admission OF
air, and il is well known that a leak which
will not let out water enough to lnJure the
action of the Pump, will let in air enough
to destroy it. 1t may, therefore, be laid

NATURAL WAISTS, OR No WIVES. -
Years ago we read this line somewhere and
have never forgotten it, and better know the
meaning Of it now than we did then. IT'S
wonder TO us that any sensible man should
marry woman whose waist looks rs if some
of Natures apprentices built it, and making
blunder, put all the ribs on bottom upward.
We could never see much beauty in the
black-wasp style Of waist but then we do
not make our taste standard for others. -
Some women dress as if they never dreamed
that they possessed a pair of lungs, which
needed room for expansion, and that a full
and free circulation of the pure air of heaven
through them, was essential to pure blood and
good health. We laugh at the Chinese for
pinching the feet of their females, and thus
making them gentecl cripples, while we, who
claim to be Their superiors, in knowledge and
progress, pinch the vital parts of our chill
drtn and youth, and thus raise up q genera
ton of crooked-spined [, dyspeptic, and, in
many instances, half idiotic invalids, whose
iniquities shall be visited upon the fourth and
fifth generations, mentally as well as physi-
cally. We do not consider taat crippled feet
are so likely to become hereditary as crippled
lungs Hence our folly and wickcdness is
greater than theirs.
Ills astonishing that sensib lc women should
become SO deludcd by this monstrous fashion,
50 dupcd by 1t, as to commit suicide by
inches! Stays are again in fashion, and fash
ionablc misses Twill all fail to pieces with
out thcm!' Well, then. let them burst up, -
we want no such sham material for the
mothers of coming generations Their loss
would be great gain i'll physiological point
| of view. If we have any women in the coun-
try made upon honor women who have
moral courage enough to appropriate to there
own lungs as much Of the free air of heaven
as they necd-give us such women for wives.
| Young men had better lead to the hymeneal
alter living, breathing bride, clad in an In
dian blanket, than one of these modern, puff.
ing, fanting waspish ladies, in straight
Jacket.

RRMINIsCDNC ES.-The 5th instant was
the anniversary of two small but well-contes-
ted battles with the British fleet in the Poto-
mac, at the White House, on the Virginia
side, under Commodore Porter and at Indian
Head, on the Maryland side, under Commo-
dore Perry. Capt. Gordon commanded the
British squadron, which assembled the river
as far as Alexandra, comprised Of the frigates
SCahorse and Euryalus, the bombs ships De-
vastation, Etna, Meteor, Erobus, and Fairy,
and the dispatch-boat Anna Maria. On the
Sunday evening previous Com. Rodgers, with
four barges, enemies with seven Larges, and
repulscd them destroyed one barge and having
only two or three men slightly hurt.
Com Porter, in his despatch Of the 18th of
September, 18Th, speaks of the gallantry and
good conduct of the sailors and militia under
his command, of whom, at the temporary bat
terry erected Oh the bluifncar the White House
there We're about thirty killed and wounded.
Com. Perry loss was small. Butlittle time
had been afforded to erect batteries, yet the
enemy did not escape without injury. Capt
Gordon, IN his official account Of his opera
tons in the Potomac, comprising period Of
twenty three days, acknowledged the loss OF
seven men killed and thirty-tive wounded
He carried off twenty-one vessels laden with
flour, these being enabled to pas the shoals
whilst the two frgates were engaged with the
batteries. He left the Potomac ON the 9th
and proceeded towards Baltimore.
