what he considered to be, valuable
medicine, which he wished to sell FOL
the benefit of mankind, prevailed up
on an old fellow Of his acquaintance to
join in the business, and furnish him

head with. He came to New York,
and at once entered upon q most
profligate and ruinous course Of ad-
vcriising, which, at last, excited the
alarm Of the old gentleman iu Alba
ny, who came down to inspect the ac-
counts of the concern, and to his ut
ter CONSERVATION he discovered that
his prodigal partner had spent bis
entire capital the frs: year in adver-
iising. But, examining little fur,
ther he discovered that there was pla-
ced TO his credit more than five times

A Touching Case,

At Cincinnati, few days ago,
T little boy between twelve and four
teen years of age, a member of !
poor family, started from home ii
search of employment. He found
:. none; but, t,way OFF in a distant part
of the city, he came across mum
Der of workmen dtmolishing a house.
As he could obtain no employment
and take no money home to his par
ents, the thought struck him that
| be might gather fuel from the ruins
and take a load of it home to save
expenditure from the seanty family
treasury. He gathered heavy
load of shingles, and securing them
in a bundle, threw them across his
back and started homevards. The
load was heavy, the weather was hot
but he perseyered. 4o-
While passing along Sixth street,
he was ovecome by the heat, and
fell PROSTATE on the sidewalk. "A
crowd instantly gathered around him
some crying out to do this, and some
that, and all doing nothing. No not
all. There was one, an elderly gentlo-
man, a kind-hearted old "bateh," noted
alike for his eleverness ard popular
verse, who silently proceeded to the
relief of the lad. Getting down up
on the pavement, be laid the boys
head in his lap, poured cold water
slowly upon his forehead, and bathed
his limbs. He continued this pro-
cess until signs of returning life we're
exhibited in deep means. The Sa-
maritan, still holding the boys head
on his lap, bathsd the forehead and
famed the tortured feathers. Grad
ually the boys eyes resumed their
natural appearance, and be became
conscious. tt

Samaritan. "All be wants now isa

The liquor was prosured, and the
glass put TO the lips Of the poor boy.
He gently pushed it aside.

With me If I did it!p ae&
'But you must take it, my lad, |

His earnestness was touching.
He resisted all persuasion to touch |
the liquor; but finally a small guam
ity, it being deemed essential, was
orced down his throat. He soon re-
rived sufficient to 60 home in an ex-
poss wagon.

A Common Disease.

/ Pimpular diseases are exceedingly
yexatious and spoilers of sll beauty
They frequently develop themselves
in young people Of either sex about
the age of puberty, and often appear
again at subsequent periods of life.
These affections are very com mon,
and, though aot attended with any
danger to the health, or contagious,
are Disgusting TO behold and difficult
to cure. The face, neck, back, and
chest are most liable to be attacked.
Little red pimples appear, which in a
few days become enlarged and form
matter; this matter is often elected
by breaking. Small dark spots are
interspersed about the face, and more
generally about the nose; these being
throw off white fatty
matter. popularity known as maggots->
Such notion of the real nature Of
this secretion is, for the most part,
erroneous, but small animalcule ara
often found to he the tenants Of these
disagreeable, ugly pimples. To drive
away such unpleasant yisitants, great
care should be taken that the bowels
perform their regular functions; plen-
ty of active exercise in the open air
is required; tbs skin kept clear, and
a coarse flannel rubbed frequently
over the face to keep the pores open,
besides often applying cooling To-
iion, composed of a weak solution
of bicbloride of mercury and emul-
sion of bitter almonds.

To KEEP Cool The bost mode of
keeping buildings cool and free from
flies during the "dog days" is to
ooen all the windows and doors for an
hour or two before sunrise, so as to
fill every accessible portion of the
building with the cool, fresh air, of
the morning, and then close them
sufficient to keep out the sun and
light. The cold air within will serve
as barrier to the entrance OF the
heat during the day, and the darkness
TO the entrance of the flies and other
insects. = Scientific american.
