To CURE A CoLD.-A bad cold, Ike
measles or mumps, or other similar all
ments, will run its course in about ten
days, in spite of what may be done for
it, unless remedial means are employed
for it within forty-eight hours of its in
ception. Many a useful life might be
spared to increased usefulness, by cut
ting a cold short off in the following safe
but simple manner. On the first day of
taking cold, there is very unpleasant
sensation of chillincss. The moment
you observe this. 60 to your room and
stay there. Keep it at such tempera-
ture as will entirely prevent this chilly
feeling, even if it requires 100 degrees
of Fahrenheit. In addition to this, put
your feet in water half leg deep, as hot
as you can bear it, adding hot water
from time to time, for a quarter of an
hour, so that the water will be hotter
when you take your feet out than when
you put them in. Then dry them thor
oughly, and put on thick, warm woolen
stockings, even if it be in Summer, for
Summer colds are more dangerous-and
for twenty hours, eat not an atom of
food, but drink, as largely as you desire,
of any kind of warm teas, and, at the
end of that time, the cold will be en-
tirely broken, without any medicine
whatever. Efficient as the above means
are, not one in a thousand attends to
them led on, as most men are, by the
hope that cold will pass away ofitself.
Nevertheless, this article will, now and
;hen, pass under the eye of wise man,
who does not choose to run the risk of
trying physic and dying too.-Medical

Burns and his Highland Mary.
The circumstances of The production
of the following lines are these, says a
spiritual paper;
Mrs. Francis 0. Hyzcr, of Montpelier,
Vt, is sometimes influenced to write
both poetry and prose, purporting to en-
anate from departed spirits. She had
one day been reading some of those pro-
ductions to a lady visitor, who asked
her if Robert Burns (the lady's favorite
poet,) had ever communicated to her.
She replied, that she had never been
conscious of his presence, nor was she
familiar with his writings. The lady
remarked that she hoped he would some
time make known his presence, and
answer question she had in her mind
which question she did I OF express. A
few days subsequently, Mrs. Hyzer felt
impelled by spirit influence to pen the
following, which on being shown to the
lady, was found to be an appropriate
reply to the query she had in her mind:

dering Of the old story of Beauty and
the Beast
A famous fisher found himself father
of five flirting females-Fanny, Flor
ence, Fernando, Francesca and Fenel-
la The first four were Aat-featured, i'll
favored, forbidding- faced, freckled, fret
full, fumps, fippant, foolish and faunt-

fleet-footed fairy, frank, free and full of

by tickle fortune to forego his footman,
forfeit his forefathers' fine field, and find
forlorn farmhouse in a forsaken for

figuring at feats in feathers and fashion

father. Forsaken by fulsome fattering
fortune hunters, who followed them
when first fourished, Fenella fondled
her father, favored theii food, forgo,

frieze without hounces. The father
finding himsels forced to forage in foreign
parts for fortune, found he could
afford a faring TO his five fondlings-
The first four were fain to foster their
frivolity with fine frills and fans, fit to
finish their fathers finances. Fenella,
fearful of flooring him, formed fancy
for a full fresh flower. Fate favored the
fish factor fer a few days, when he fell
in with fog; his faithful filley's foot
steps faltered, and food failed He found
himself in front of fortified fortress

IT WONT WoRK.-An attempt has
been made, apparently by concert, by
the Lecompton Buchanan papers in the
State, to distinguish between Douglas
and Broderick. In referring to this move
the Sierra Democrat remarks:
1t would be capital arrangement for
these men who are so bitterly opposed
to Broderick to make fair weather with
the Douglas Democrats, and leave the
California Senator out of the arrange
ment but that cannot be done. Doug
las and Broderick stood side by side
did battle on the same ground, for the
same cause-and no peace can be made,
or being made will be nothing worth, if
either Senator, or the friends of either,
be not comr assed by the settlement
Broderick never, in his place in the Z.
S. Senate, denounced the Kansas Ne
brasda Act.'' The assertion in the
Statesman that he did so cannot have
been made through ignorance of the
facts, and is, consequently, as malicious
as it is untrue. If Broderick's friends
will fraternize with and endorse men
who SANDER him, we will be surprised
