RELIEF OLE

As this dreadful disease is becoming more
prevalent than formerly. 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, a member ot
our family has suffered most intensely from
il, and could fnd no sure relief from any
remedy applied, until we saw an article
which we republished, recommending the ap-
plication OF bruised horse radish 20 the wrist,
for the cure Of tootbache. 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 gra'i6ed that
the simple application of horse radIsh bruis-
ed, and applied to the wrist, on the side of
the body where the disease was seated, gave
almost instant relief to q severe attack Of
neuralgia. Since then we have applied 1t
several times, with the same results. The
remedy is simple, cheap. and may be within
reach of every one Exchange.

Dame Grundy was a pattern of good ma
ture-always oontented, and consequently
happy.
L tell you what it is,' said farmer Gruody,
one day, to his n~eighbor Smith, i really wish
l could hear Mrs. GruDdy scold once: the
novelty Of the thing would be 50 refreshing
'Ill tell you.' said bis sympathising neigh.
Dor, how to obtain your wish. Go into the
woods, get o load of the most crooked sticks
you can possibly find, and my word for II, she
will he as cross az you desire.'
Father Grundy followed his ueighbor
Smiths advice. Having collected a load OF
the most ill-shaped, crooked, croche,y mater
ials that were ever known under the name
Of fuel, he deposited the same st shr door,
taking good care that his spouse should have
access to no other wood. The day passed
away, however, aud not q word was said; at
other, and still another, no complaint. AT
length the pile disappeared.
We'll, wife, said MIR Grrndy, I am go
ing after more wood. I'll get another load
Just such as | got last time
%, yes Jacob said the old lady, 1T will be
so nice if you will, for such crooked. croche'y
wood as you brought before, does lay around
the pots so nicely

THE
MORNING, SEPTEMBER is, 1855

A WOMAN'S DODGE IN ROTTERDAM.
l had not gone lar 10 my rambieS about
the city before l was brought to a staud by
q discovery. Co both sides Of the streets,
projecting from the centre of almost every
window Of the dwelling houses, each at an
angle of As degrees with the window, were
placed two mirrors Of about a foot square
each in q vertical position, one facing 10 the
street and the other down. | Immediately
set my Yankee ingenuity to work to guess"
their object. and was not hong 10 discovering
in those mirrors plain Indications that here,
in this great swamp Of Europe, noman's
curiosity is the same as amoug yerdsh. bills
and more genial chimes. The mistress o! the
house seating herself in her parlur in a
particular spot before a window, with book,
needle or knitting workin hand, mas but to lit
her eyes into the twin looking-slass.s outside
her window 10 order to Gu ich at a glance the
whole panorama Of the street On both direc-
tons. There was also another queer-look
ing glass arrangement W hich, for u long time.
puzzled me. The puzzle grew out Of the
peculiar positions and various angles at which
