SALAD FOR THE SOCIAL.

The universal press speak in the most fattering
terms of Salad. We can only give short extracts.
"A very amusing, quaint and most companion
able book. The mustard of healthy criticism, the
salt of r~elishing wit, the oil of genial sentiment,
and the vinegar of acute satire, mixed in due pro-
portion, with the yolks of VISIONS egg hard boil

to ~fascinate any literary epicure.'
"A book to lounge over, a book to dip into, a
book over which to enjoy a choice cigar. 1t
is full of quaint sayings, out of-the-way facts, Of
fanclful thoughts, poetry and fun. 1t is also beau
tifully gotup and illustrated
1T is indeed o capital book, just snch a one as
we should like to find lying on the DENTISTS table
as a solace while waiting our turn at this modern
fnquisition just the book to make one forget how
long his lady friend is pinking before she come
from her toilet to see him. The duplicity Of the
book is that in q melange of piquant delights we
insensibly take in no little healthful nutriment.'

Onr School Houses.

Onc need not make q great journey to sat
isfy himself that u majority of the common
school houses in the country are unfit for the
purposes intended. In rural districts espe-
ciallythereis a niggardliness about them that
does no credit to those interested in the mat
ter. 1t would seem that the people have be-
come thoroughly imbued with the opinion
that the great mass of children should be
educated as chcaply as possible hence,
houses are used that are manifestly unfit for
human habitation.
We have seen children shivering with cold
as they yainly tried to "do sums" and have
seen them almost sufocatiug IN badly %ventila-
ted houses while they nodded over nouns
and verbs. Another great error constantly
occurring, and one that calls loudly for re-
form, is in the construction Of seats. Who

BUT TRUE.

A few days since, Mr. Jas. II. Beadle, of Hunts
vile, Alabama, called on us and gave us permits
sion to publish for the benefit of suffering humanity,
the astonishing cure which had been effected in the
ease. of his wife by the use eff Dr.. Hanco's Vegeta.
BILE Epileptic Pills. He informed US, that at the
time his wife commenced using the medicine, her
system was so entirely Frustrated, by the number 0
spasms she had undergone, as to 'educe her weight
to 100 lbs. Since she has been taking the pills, She
has entirely got over spasms and has gained in
weight and bodily health. She now weighs at leas
200 lbs, and declares she is in better enjoyment {
health than ever before in her life. Mr. Beadie al
50 related the case of Mr.. Harrison Eghtfootaf tia
same town, who has been entirely cured of tn
worst form of Epilepsy by these same pills NJ,
Lightfoots case was so bad that he never passed
week without having an attack, often falling dow
in the street He has not had an attack for NOR
than a year. MIR. Beadle thinks that if the oil
ever fail in curing a case, it is for the want of pre-
per perseverance on the part of the person in takir
them, as he feels assured from observation in tb
case of his wife, that if they are taken for a suff
eient length of time, they will cure any case. Ser
