On. JOHNSTON is the only regular Physician j.

and treatment entirely unknown to others. Pre-
pared from life spent in the great hospitals Of En-

and efeetually relieved should shun the numerous
triaing imposters, who only ruin their health, and
"f''' TAKE NOTICE.
1t is with the greatest reluctance that On. JOHN
STON permits his card to appear before the public,
deemng it unprofessional for phi sican 80 adver-

strangers, could not fail to fall into the hands Of the

Honor tho Good,

The true basis of distinction among men
is not in position nor possession-it is not il
the circumstances Of life, but IN the conduct
1t matters not how enviable position {
man occupies, nor how much wealth he has
IN store, if there be defects in his behavior,
he IS not entitled to that consideration and
respect due to one who is his superior in a
moral point of view, though he possess mel.
Their riches nor honor.
1t Is not that which gives us place. but
conduct which makes the solid distinction
We think no man above us but for his vir-
tues, and none below us but his vices En-
! tertaning this view, we would seek to en-
ulate the good, though it be found under a
coarse exterior, and pity the evil, though il
be clothed in the finest garb and dwell in
luxury We would never become obsequi-
GUS in the wrong place.
Call no man mean, low or vulgar, because
he tills the soil or stands before the work
bench for in point of true worth and real
manhood he may be much superior to the
president of some bank some emiaent liquor,
dealer, or Wall Street broker, or the rich
nabob who dwells in yon marble palace
The yrtuous and high-mnaed mon Of
toll are natures noblemen. They are lovers
of good, lovers Of truth, lovers of nature,
lovers Of each other, and lovers Of Cod
They were not born tosshne, nor to be the
recipients of empty honors; but they were
born to be men, the heaven of earth, and a
nations bulwark.

II is Not Worth Saving.

1T is not worth saving. SO says the i'm
provident housewife hundred times a
month The meat that is left after each
meal, the cold potatoes, the vegetables, the
/ crumbs and crusts of bread, the pieces Of
! biscuits, the fragments of butter, the little
! fruit, and all the little left in cooking and
eating each meal are not worth saving she
thinks. So the remnants of cloth, yarn.
thread. Irvine, and wool, fax, and the many
little things of that character, she says are
not worth saving. She has no rag bags for
! rags are not worth saving. Three cents Il
pound is too small matter for her to count
The odds and ends Of tie beef, the pork,
the mutton, the veal, AID the poultry are
thrown away. for they are not worth saving,
she repeats every time az meat is dressed,
though thoy would make mans lnvurious
meals in the familv every year. Ide scraps
! Of cloth leftaln cnt,ine garments are given
to the fire, for, 10 her MUD, they are not
worth saving. Garments are seldom patch
ed or darned, for when they come to holes,
I they are not worth saving she declares and
50 they go the way of all the earth very fast.
Everywhere, and at all times, she lets all
the Titles slip through her fingers. She
burns two candles when one would DO; two
sticks of wood when one would do as well
puts in two eggs, when one is amply suff
cient; two ounces of lard when half of
one would be better twice as much pepper,
spice and sugar as is desirable third
more coffee and tea than is best for taste
and health and thus while she wastes the
substance, wastes the health and strength
of her family Put all the Titles which an
improvidcnt wife needlessly uses, wastes
and throws away in the course of year
together, and they would soon amount to 4
sum which would put poor family in good
circumstances.
lmproyidence is the chief cause of power
ty in this country. The wife's most efficient
means of beneftting the purse of family
IS by saving, seeing to it, that nothing is
lost The rule is that the wife makes use
of the husbands earnings. There is quite
as mitch in using well as earning fast. One
need not be mean to be economical. The
spendthrift is oftener meancr than the econ
omist.
This should be The housewives rule
Everything Is worth saving that is worth
anything. This everywhere put in practice
will make almost every house thrifty, and
soon FIJI the world with plenty. Valley

Let tie Ladies Beware 1t is stated that
lately some workmen. fell sick in Paris in
working on an apple-green silk dress. A
piece of the silk was examined by chem
list, and it was found to have been colored
with copper and arsenic. The substances
adhered but slightly to the silk, were de-
tached in handling in the shape of powder
and were thus inhaled by the lungs An
order was issued prohibiting the future use
of this kind of coloring matter. Many of
