A WoMAN's DODGE IN RoTTERDAM.-I had
not gone far in my ralnbles about the city before
was brought to stand by discovery. On
both sides of the streets, projecting from the cen.

window, were placed two mirrors OF about a

twin looking glasses outside her window in or

another qneer-looking glass arrangement which,
for long time, puzzled me. The puzzle grew
out of the peculiar positions and various angles
at which these mirrors were placed. was a.

INDIANS BECOMING CIvnIzRo.-About seven

intention to adopt the dress of their pale-face
brethren, and pursue an agricultural life on their
farms or lands near the Agency, where many Of
them have now from five to ten acres Under oul-

zation is their requesting Superintendent Cullen

Low NgcxRD DREssEs.--In the early days of
Pennsylvania there was law which stated as
follows: "That if any whito female, of ten years
or upward, should appear in any public street,
lane, highway, church, court house, tavern, ball.
room, theatre, or any other place Of public re-
sort, with naked shoulders, a. e., low necked
dresses,) being able 70 purchase necessary cloth
log, shall forfeit and pay fine not ess than one
nor more than two hundred dollars" The clos
Jog paragraph of the law, however, permitted
women Of questionable character to bare their

SRNsE.-A rough common sense pervades the
following, in which there is certainly more truth

"Great men never swell. tits only three cent

coats, swell, puff, blow, and endeavor to give
themselves consequential appearance. No dis

Gentle Words.
A Young rose in summer time,
Is beautiful to me,
And glorious the many stars
That glimmer on the sea!
But gentle words and loving hearts,
And hands to clasp my own,
Are better than the fairest flowers,
Or stars that ever shone. .
The sun may warm the grass to lite, 81
The dew the dropping flower,
And eyes grow bright that watch the light
Ofantumn's opening hour, .N
But words that breathe of tenderness,
And smiles we know are true,
Are warmer than the summer time,
And brighter than the dew.
It is not much the world can give,
With all its subtle art,
And gold and gems are not the things
To satisfy the heart;
But, oh if those who cluster round
The altar and the hearth,
Have gentle words and loving smiles,
How beautiful is earth

alist. Before the Revolutionary war he held sew
eral civil and military Offices Of Importance
At the commencement of the war he held the of.
fee of Governor of New Jersey, which appoint.
ment he received in 1773. When the dficul.
ties between her mother country end the colo.
n!es were coming to crisis, he threw his whole
influence in favor of ofloyalty, ard endeavored 10
prevent the legislative assembly of New Jersey
from sanctiOnilg the proceedings of the General
Congress Of Philadelphis. These efforts, how
ever, did but little to stay the tide of popular
sentiment in favor of resistance to tyranny, and
soon involved him in difficulty. He was depos-
cd from Office by the Wings, to give place to
William Livingston, and sent prisoner to Con-
necticut, where he remained two years In East
Pindor, in the bouse of Captain Ebenezer Grant,
near where the Theological Seminary now stands.
In ITS be was exchanged, and soon after went
to England. There he spent the remainder Of
mis- life, receiving q pension from the British
Government for the loss he had sustained by bis
fidelity. He died in 1878, at the age of 90.
As might have been expected, his opposition
to the cause of liberty, so dear to the heart OF
his father, produced an arrangement between
them. For years they had no intercourse
When, in 1884, the son wrote to his father; in
bis reply DR.. Franklin says:
"No.hing has ever hurt me SO much, and af.
fected me with such keen sensations, as to find
myself deserted in my old age, BY my only SON
and not only deserted, but to find him taking up
arms against me in cause wherein my good
fame, fortune and life were all at stake"
In his will also, he alludes to the part his son
had acted. After making him some bequests, he
adds: "The part he acted against me in the late
war, which chisofpublic notoriety, will account for
my leaving him no more Of an estate be endeav-
ored to deprive me Of"
The patriotism of the father stands forth all
the brighter when contrasted with the deser-
ton of bis son-Nsw6uy Herald.

RELIEF OF NEURALGIA.-As this dreadful dis

and as the Doctors have not discovered any
method or medicine that will permanently cure
it We will simply state that for some time past,
member of our family has suffered most intense
" from it, and could find no sure relief from
auy remedy applied, until we saw al article
which we republished, recommending the ap-
plication of bruised horse radish to the wrist,
for the cure of toothache AS Neuralgia and
Toothache are both nervous diseases, We thought
the remedy for the one would be likely to give
relief to the other, so we made the application
and were truly gratifed that the simple appica-
ton of horse radish bruised, and applied to the
wrist, on the side of the body where the disease
was seated, gave almost instant relief to O Sc
we're attack Of neuralgia. Since then we have
applied it several times, with the same results.
The remedy is simple, cheap, and may be with
in reach OF every one.
