within forty-eight hours of lis inception
Many useful life may be spared TO be in-

in the following sale and useful manner. On

unpleasant sensation of chilliness. The mo-

so that the water shall be hotter when you
take your feet out than when you put them
in, tten dry them thoroughly, and put on
warm, thick, woolen stockings, even if II be
snmmer, (when colds are most dangerous,
and for twenty-four hours eat moi an atom Of
food, but drink as largely as you desire Of
airy kind of warm teas, aud at the end OF
that time, if moi sooner, the cold will be el-
feclually broken, without any medicine what

Old Dan Tucked IN India.

A very curious illustration Of Progress in
India, was furnished 10 mo one day during
my soiourn with Mr.. Place. We were din
ing togelhes in his bungalow, when wan
dering Hindoo msnslrel came along with his
mandolin, and requested permission to sit
upon the verandah and play for US. ! was
desirous of hearing some of the Indian airs,
and my host there fore ordered him to per-
form during dinner. He tuned the wires OF
his mandelin, extemporized prelude which
complete establishment began singing, "Get
out of the way, Old DaA Tucker !" The old
man seemed to enjoy my surprise, and fol-
lowed up his performance with "0h Susan
opan melodies, all of which he sang with
admirable spirit and correctness. address,
cd him in English but found that he did not
understand word Of the language, and had
no conception of the nature oil the songs he
had given to us. He had heard some Eng.
lsh officers sing them at Madras, and was
indebted ntirely to his memory, for both
the melodies and words. II was vain to ask
him for his native born airs he was fascna-
ted with the spirit of our national music, and
sang with grin of delight which was very
amusing, As climax of skill; he closed
with "lnalbrook g va ten guerre," but his
pronunciation of French was not quite sue
cessful. have heard Spanish boatmen on
