JOHN Hancock. One who saw Hancock in June,
1882, relates that he had the appearance of ad-
vanced age. He had been repeat atedy and severely
afflicted with gout, probably owing in part to the
custom of drinking punch, a common practice in
high circles in those days. AS recolected at this
time, Hancock nearly six feet in height and of
thin person, STOPPING little, and apparently en-
feebled by disease. His manners were very gra-
cious of the old style, digniGed compaisance
His face had been very handsome. Dress was
adapted quite much to the ornamental as useful
Gentlemen wore wigs when abroad, and commonly
caps when at home. At this time, about noon,
Hancock was dressed in IL red velvet cap within
which one of fine linen. The latter was turn
ed up over the lower edge of the velvet one, two
or three inches. He wore blue damask gown
lined with silk, white satin embroidered waist
coat black satin small Clothes white silk stockings
and red morocco slippers. 1t was general prac-
tce in genteel families to have tankard of punch
made in the morning and placed in cooler, when
the season required it. At this visit, Hancock took
from the cooler standing on the hearth full tank
ard, and drank first himself and then offered it to
those present. His equpage was splendid and
such as is not customary at this day. His apparel
was sumptuousy embroidered with gold, silver,
lace and other decorations fashionable among men
of fortune of that period; and he rode especially
upon public occasions, with six beautiful bay hors-
es, attended in livery. He wore scarlet coat,
with ruffes on his sleeves, which soon became the
prevailing fashion, and it is related of DR.. Nathan
Jacques, the famous pedestrian of West Newbury,
that he passed all the way from that place to Bos-
ton in one day to procure cloth for coat like that
of John Hancock, and returned with it under his
arm, on foot.

PRAYING TO THE POINT. A certain lawyer, who
dwelt in of our New England towns noted for
his over-reachings and shortcomings, during re-
vival came under conviction, and requested prayers
for the furtherance Of his conversion His appeal
was responded to by of the saints, an eccentric,
but very pous old man--honest, plain, blunt,
square-toed and fat-footed, who thus went at it ::
awe do most earnestly entreat thee, o, Lord, to
sanctify our pentent brother, here Fill his heart
with goodness and grace that he shall hereafter
forsake his evil ways and follow in the right path.
We de know, however, that it is required of him
who has appropriated worldly goods to himself un-
lawfully and dishonesty, that he shall make resti
tuition four fold; but we do pray thee to have mer
cy on this erring brother, as it would be mpos
sble for him to do that, and let him off for the
best he can do without beggaring himself entirely,
by his paying twenty yfve cents on the dollar"
The next suppicant, at the same meeting was
an elderly maiden who got her living by going into
different families and spinning for them. She, also
had been famous for her short comings, Civ
ing full counts on her yarn; the forty threads to a
knot was point which she never reached. The
blunt old man thus briefly disposed of her case ::
'Reform, o Lord, the heart of thy handmade here
before thee, we beseech thee and wilt thou enable
her to count forty n--Boston Post.

A prescription for the sure cure of small pox
scarlatina, and measles has been communicated by
a member of the royal college of surgeons, Lon
don. 1t is reported to have been tested with in
variable success in nnumerable instances, and the
recipe is as follows: Take grain of powdered
foxgreve or digitalis in the ratio of its
greenness- and the same quantity of sulphate Of
zinc or white vitriol rub thoroughly in a mortar
with few drops of water; add four ounces OF
water and little sugar. OF this mixture, table
spoonful should be given an adult, and two tea.
spoonfuls to a child, every second hour, until
symptoms of disease vanish The herb annihilates
the fever, and the zinc acts tonic.

AN ACTRESS IN SEARCH OF HER LOVER The fol-
lowing amusing anecdote is from the Courier des
Etats UniS:
One of the most beautiful actresses of a theatre
on the Boulevards, received daily for about month
little penny boquet of volets She found the
boquet in her box OR with the door-keeper, every
evening as the play was about to begin, and this
simple offering of an unknown love affected her in
spite of herself.
While acting, she looked carefully around at
the boxes, the parquet, and behind the scenes
but to no purpose she saw nothing BY which to
recognize the of boquets and thereupon she
gave her Imagination free reign, and the imagina-
tlon OF an actress is very similar to that of other
folks.
Was he foreign prince, who wished to capt-
vate her heart before placing at her feet his crown
and treasures! Or was he artist too bashful to
declare his passion
She interrogated the box-keeper the tire-wom
in short everybody employed in the theater; but
nobody knew anything about it. Still the boquets
came.
do they tell us that constancy is chimera ?"
murmured she.
The other evening as she entered the theatre,
she received fresh boquet of violets and this time
the flowers were accompanied by letter. cat
last" said she, and opening it by the light of
f1ector, she read follows:
'Mademoiselle, have loved you for a long time,
for is not behoding and loving you the thing2
Every day come to admire you, to applaud you,
to delight myself with the brightness Of your eyes
and the charm of your voice."
"He must be in the house." thought the actress,
and she peeped through hole in the curtain. The
audience had just commenced to assemble. She
resumed her reading:
"Of your voice. You are indeed beautiful and
charming, and happy are they who may approach
you. What would | not give to be near you
always! Would the treasure of all the world be
worth one of your smiles Z! No!n
"Ah that is nice," she sighed; and turning the
page, she continued:
mo! and yet l dare to love you-to tell you
that love you-still more. venture to beg you
not to reject homage"
"Ie begins to explain himself" said she to her
SELF land shall know"-and she continued my
homage If this expression of my love does not
offend you, place this boquet of vioets in your bos-
ON. o! then shall be the happiest of men,"
"Well" said she, mo signature-no name given?
But let me see; here is postscript
"P S. If you are curious to know who writes
you, look up at the fourth tier--my legs will hang
over!"
The note dropped from the hands of the actress,
and her arms nearly dropped from her shoulders

USING WHOLE EGG. friend told us a story
few days since, illustrating the free, generous
character of the Irish which we consider too good
to be lost, and therefore give it to our readers.
Our friends wife being in delicate health, it was
resolved that a girl should be procured to do the
house work. that the lady might have an opportu--
nifty to recover her health and spirits.
After visiting an intelligence Office for two Or
three mornings, fine buxOm lass of about twenty
years of age, but six months from swate Ireland,
was selected, and instructed as to the duties that
would be expected of her.
"Now, them" says the lady, "pour the ground
coffee into the pot then pour in the hot water after
few minutes boiling, put in one half of an egg,
so p and the lady illustrated each description by
demonstration. "You understand, don't you ?" says
the lady. "Indade do num- was the response );

half an egg. Isn't that it mum %
Cali right" replied the lady "Now, then, to-
morrow morning we'll see how we'll you remember
it,"
Tomorrow morning came, and the coffee was as
good as could be expected. The third morning
came and to the astonshment of our friend and
wife, the coffee was undrinkabe and nauseating,
even the odor was sickening. Bridget was called
and questioned as follows:
Bridget, did you first put the ground coffee in
the pot! q
'Indade did, num-
'Did you then pour in the hot water ?"
'Sure did

Artificial Ears.

| We take the following letter, written by DR.
Byford, OF this city. from the last number Of
the Scientific American:
MEssRs. EDtT6Rs: The result of some ex-
periments lately performed, induces me to lay
before your readers, in brief manner, a de-
vice, convenient and effectual, for the amelior-
alton of partial deafness. The ordinary ear
trumpet involves the necessitY Of constant
handling, and is often an incumbranee. From
these facts, many persons, who would be ben
Gifted by its use, discard it altogether The
plan propose, is to make short delicate ear
trumpet of some light suitable material, s;y
gutta percha india rubber, or simply waxed
llnen cambria, or other goods, with stem OF
such shape and length as may fit easily in the
meatus of the car, and allow the bell-shaped
portion to turn forward. One Of these IN each
ear, with the expanded part OF it two inches in
diameter, well adjusted in the ear, will very
considerably (protably fifty per cent. } increase
the power Of hearing, if the speaker is before
the individual addressed. At the same time
it may be entirely concealed among the artif-
clal flowers and ribbons worn in lady's head
dress, and made to resemble a flower so much
as to be ornamental. Each artificial ear need
not weigh one dram, nor cost fifty cents, and
may be fixed upon the head dress so as TO be
completely adjusted and kept in place by the
latter The particular shape and size will
vary in different cases, and will readily be
found out upon trial. A gentleman afflicted
with partial deafness may have his artificial
ears constructed from four to six inches in di-
ameter, if necessary, and of such light mate
rials thet they can be fixed to his hat brim,
and worn without any Inconvenience what
ever. These artificial ears, thus made and
worn, will enable many persons to enjoy a
conversation with friend. listen to the ser
mon on the Sabbath, and be aware of every
thing of an audible character transpiring
around them, nearly or quite as we'll as if their
hearing was unimpaired

welfare of the country.
AS we are acting entirely upon our own
honest convictions Of right, we are conSe-
quently not bought with price, nor are We
the hireling of party or clique; but on the
contrary, we are independent, and fearless and

which we believe should be adopted by every
