A DANGEROUS BoSxEr.--Somebody

danger, as described. is to the wearer;
but in our opinion the most dangerous
honnels are those that are not worn

carried behind the head, not only en-.
dangering that but those who are thus
doomed to look upon unprotected a.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Sun. writing from Cohasset, Msssa.
chusetts. relates an anecdote ofa ply
sician residing in that place, which he
says is fact. and the best temperance
lecture he ever heard. Some thirty
years ago. this doctor was addicted 10
hard drinking. and neglected his pro-
fessional duties to such an extent that
the people had to send to Boston for a
new physician. younger man. whom
they colonizcd among them. Things
went on very well for a time. the old
doctor losing patients. and the new
doctor finding them. At last, this
brace Of pestles met at the town store;
the old doctor purchasing jug oI
rum. and the young man barrel ol
-four. Some invidious remarks of a
bystander called forth sneer from
the younger and more 1ourishing oI
The two doctors. This was noticed
and interpreted by the old one. who.
with calm, deliberate air. put the
cork into the jug Of rum. and, turning
to the sneering opponent. he said: 81
have put the cork into that jug. and
will never take IL out again. until
have starved you completely out o.
the town OF Cohassett. He kept hi.
word. aud in about year from thai
time. he had regained all his old pa.
tients and friends. and obliged lhs
young doctor TO evacua'e for lear o
starving.

Captain promptly threw num-
Der OF loose articles into the lake
for the drowning man to seize upon.
Among these happened to be bunch
of shingles from a lot which the imper.
lied gentlemen was having transpor-
ted on the beat. When the vessel was
turned about II was found that this
bunch had iloated within reach Of the
man and that he had sustained him
self upon Il.
Hs was taken on board, and with
out expressing any gratitude for bis
deIiverance, he told the Captain. with
considerable agitation. that he should
expect pay for the shingles that
had been thrown overheard.
Captain Ward replied that he was
sorry-lhat had hc known the shingles
were his he would lot have done Il,

The editor Of the Columbus xsds-

The Science of courting

subject bearing this head will be read
by the ladies as quick as anything on
which their eyes can rest. And Il j.

Of courting which causes nm indescri.
