Keep in Good EEumOr.

1t Is not great calamltles that

vexations, small jealousies, the lit

cries, that make the heart heavy

them. Anger is pure waste of
vitality, it is always foolish and
always disgraceful, except in some
very rare cases, when it is kin
died by seeing wrong done to
another; and even that noble rage
seldom mends the matter. Keep
IN good humor.
No man does his best except
when he is cheerful. A light
heart makes nimble hands, and
keeps the mind free and alert
No misfortune is so great as one
which sours the temper. Until
cheerfulness is lost, nothing is lost.
Keep in good humor.
The company of a good ma
tured man is perpetual feast; he
is welcomed everywhere-eyes

A GENTLEMAN

Who, two years ago, lay upon what his physicians
and all his friends believed to be his death bed, is
now alive and in the full vigor of health. His dis
ease Consumption, of which nearly all his rea-
tives had died. The circumstances which led to
his recovery were as follows: His younger brother
was in the habit of reading to him from books
about the house to while away his weary hours
One day he read to him from old book published
in London about the middle of the seventeenth
century, of what was styled ga sympel and certain
rerlmeedee for diseases of We Lungs" Not wholly
without hope, and unwilling to leave anything un-
tried which gave promise of relief, the sick and
dying man had the prescribed remedies prepared
and commercials use. The result was favorable.
In two months he was able to walk about the prem
Uses without difficulty, and in seven months from
the time that he commenced its use he was en-
tirely well, and has not been confneda day since.
Grateful towards an all-wise providence for his
restoration, he prescribed it for all in his vicinity
who were afflicted with diseases Of the lungs and
general debility, and in every case it has proved
effective.
Thoroughly satisfied that it is the only safe and
certain cure for Consumption, and wishing to do
his fellow bdngs who are suffe ring, as much good
as possible, he has concluded to send the recipe
with full instructions for putting up and using the
medicine, free to all who may order it. In or

the Recipe to enclose 10 cents and direct to M. T

We heard the following capital story
yesterday, and only regret that VIC can
not tell it as it was told to us:
A banker in Dubuque whom we shall
call Mr.. Missy, for short, soaad it nee
essary sLort time ago 10 susp nd bIsi-
ness, and accordingly closed his doors,
and issued a card TO his depositors. in
which he stated that he hoped soon to he
able to resume again. The day after Mr..
NJ. had closed his doors, he was met by
q Hibernian miner who had $4,000 de-
posted with him, and accosted him thus:
Good morning Mr.. Dr., Faith an it's
well you're looking this morning, con-
sdering the weather. But, sure it's sor-
~ / am, Mr.. NJ, to see that card of yours
in the papers. Bat never do you mind
such triacs as that mon-take courage
and hold up your head high as ivcr-
the trouble Of the thing will soon bow
over. And as for that $4,000 balance Of
mine, jus: keep it as long as you want it
i have no use for the lousy dollars
and know yces for an honest mon. aud
psrfectlyssgo0d for that same 1t any time
kape it, sir, and pleasant dreams b. vic
ye."
Mr.. VI. expressed his thanks, and the
banker and deposition separated. But on
the following day Mr. NJ. was startled
FROM his pleasant dreams by tie pre-
sentation Of a check for Sc, 900 bearing
the name of his tEibernian friend. Not
knowing hardly how to understand the
matter, Mr.. NJ. sent for Patrick, when
the following explanation took place:
"Well You see Mr.. NJ, Peggy, that is
my wife, has been raising the very devil
about the noney-and just to pacify the
poor ignorant creature that it was safe,
thought be dad, Id ii,t send for it and
count it out before her ugly face, and
then she'd consent to nay leaving it wild
you, together wild the other 81 900 that
is giving Us SO much trouble to kape from
being stolen from US"
To such IN explanation, together with
the new temptation Of 81, 900 additional,
the banker could take no cxceptious-so
he counted ont the SG,0Q0in short order.
But that was the last of the Irishman.
The banker meeting him several days
afterwards, desired another explanation.
Och, the truth is, Vi. W.. its myself
that has been ashamed to see yees. Peg
~, that devil Of a wife of mine, YOU see,
has hid the money, and dom me if / can
fad it at all at all, aud that's Just the
truth. sir.
The banker made graceful tender Of
bis hat, but Pat generously declined to
accept the same, although justly entitled
to it.-Bp'jayh,a Ca.
