Mildly Judge We of Each Other.


Mildly judge yc of each other,
Rc TO condemnation slow;
The very best have got their failing,
Something good the worst can show,
The brilliant sun hath spots of darkness,
On his radiant front, they say;
And tic clock that never gocth,
Speaks correctly twice day.
Do not mock your neighbours weakness,
When his random whims you scc
For. perhaps. he something like it,
Every day bcholds in thee.
Folly leuvcns MI our naturcs;
SOundest metals hath its flaws;
And thc rigid stole scorncr
Is no wiser for his saws.
Every mortal rs his hobby.
1t may FOOLS seem to YOU.
But rcmcmbcr. bright or simple,
You have got your hobby. too.
Let fellow feeling warm you;
When you critcisc friend;
Honor virtue in his actions.
In yourself lis vices mcnl
Think not those whom mortals honor.
Arc the best the earth affords:
For no tongue of praise doth hlazon
Forth the deeds which God rewards.
There arc fish behind in ocean,
Good has ever froE. il came,
And there are men, unknown. as noble,
KS the laurcl'd heirs Of fame.
Mildly judge. then, of each other,
he TO condemnation slow.
For the wiscst have their lailings,
Something good the worst can show.
The sun himself hath spots of darkness
On his radiant brow, they say;
And the clock that never gorth,
Speaks correctly twice day.

a DEAD SIlor.-rAc San Francisco
Californian of the llth u!t., says:
1T Is generally understood that Judge
Terry is a first rate shot; but il is doubtful
whether he is as uncrring with the pistol
as Senator Brodclick. This gentleman,
recently, in practising in gallery, fred
two hundred shots as TIE usual distance,
plumbed thcmark every time AS he IS
also inan of frmcr nerve than his oppo-
nent we may look this morning for unpleas-
ant news from the field.
The above was written the day before
the duel, and shows how uncertain calcGla-
tions generally are nrcgard tosuch matters.
Poor Brodcrick fcilmortally wounded, while
his competitor who wHs considered not so
uncring with the pistol, escaped unscath
cd, We have heard of several duels
whore the least practscd hand fred the fa-
tai shot. This was the case, we bclicf" in
the duel fought at the Washington Race
Course, near Charleston, S. c., three or
foar years ago, between young Magruth
and Mr.. Tabor, the Editor of the Mcrcu-
ry. Mngrath had never fought duel
know not what attitude to assmme, and
could not properly control his pistol until
iloronghly instructed, by his second. On
the other hand, Mr.. Tabor is said to have
bacm an accomplished and unerring pistol
shot. 4And yet what was the rcsalt, Ia
Dor iol at the third fire mortaliy wounded
and Magroth came off without scratch
1t is Just as certain, that the life of the
skillful shot in duel is not always prrser-
vcd, as it is % tat the raco is not always
to tle swift, nor the battle to the strong !"

A SENSIBLE .MAN.~--What the world
calls avaricc is oftcntimes no more than
compulsory economy, and even wilful
pcnuriopsnoss is better than wastcful ex-
trayagance. a just man, being rep,ual .,ed
with parsimony, said that no would rather
enrich his enemies after his death than
borrow of his fricads in his lifetime.

pORTAGE SENTINEL.
The skull of RIcheIieu.

a :
Il seems probsble that very curious and
interesting affair will be brought before the
courts. 1t is known that the famous Cardl.
nal Richelieu was buried in the chapel o.
the Sorbonne, where his tomb is still to be
seen. During the days of terror the infu-
riated mob tore open the Cardinals grave
In common with thousands OF others, drag
Red forth the remains, separated the head
from the body, and carried 1t through the
streets stuck on pike. This head subse-
quently fell into the possession Of deputy
of those days, who bequeathed it to his son.
The latter, of course, attaches high value
to his prize, Obstinately refusing to give it
up to the State, which claims that the skull
of the ilIustrious minister Of Louis XIII
should beplaced among the Pubic relics OF
the empire.
1t was at first attempted to settle the con-
troversy without appealing to the tribunals,
but, as the present possessor of the Cardi
nal's head is determined not to give it up
without being absolutely forced to do so, il
is said that the authorities are about to bring
suit against him to compel its restoralioni
and there seems very little doubt that he
will lose his cherished head, at least When
Richelieu ruled France, and the weak king,
his nominal master, with rod of iron, hold
ing the lives and fortunes of the most pow
erful in the hollow of his hand, little did he
dream that the day would come when his
skull would be carried through Paris on a
pike, treasured by city deputy, and reclaim
ed by government to be placed under glass
case, perhaps in the museum of the Louvre
or the Hotel de Clurry.- Cor. Pennsylvania

Ague e1Cure,

Aguo cure,
FOR rHE strRpT CURE or
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and AgueS
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headaches or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious FTei indeed
for the whole class of dieaSs3 origi@
mating in hillary derangement, caused
by the Malaria Of miasmatie countries.
No enc remedy Is Louder called for by the
necessities Of. the American people than q sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Il Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from OF prevents this
disorder must Be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this baleful distemper. This "CuRR" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGuE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first up
proach of its premonitory symptoms. It is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AGUE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
It is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-thc poor es well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and cer-
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duccs no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon tlp. constitution. Those cured
by it arc left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Agucis not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache
! Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
| Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Colic'
| Paralysis, and Derangcment of the Stomach
all of which, when originating in this cause,
put ON the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This "CURE" cxpels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them al
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If takeT
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
tcction, that will be excrctcd from the system
and cannot accumulate III sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even mor'
valuable for protection than cure, and few viii
ever suffer from Interlnittents, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af
I torus.

A TALE or USREQUIrED LOyE.-The editor
Of the Yreka Union relates rs follows how he
once fell in love and ''got the mitten:"
We were never, kind reader, desperately in

hut then she had such really beautiful eyes
deep. liquid Orbs, through which her soul in
moments Of tenderness looked out with q pas
sionatc feryOr, and in joyous mirth flashed and
sParkled with the light of a thousand-dew
drOpS-diamOnds We were going to say; but then
we never saw thousand diamonds. Her name
was Laura-which when breathed softly by u
very soft lover, is n very sweet name-and her
clear ringing laugh fell all around you like 4
shower of silver bells. Moreover, she wore a
dark wine-cOlOred dress trimmed with lilac
cOlored velvet and black frisse. with a neat
little white collar of fine lace. which il one Of
the prettieSt of dresses, and has the effect to
make "A very plain girl look ABSOLUTELY charming
She never perforated her ears to hang thereby
pendulum of brass and glass; and the only
ornament on the little white hand, which needed
none was plain gold ring sacred to the memo
~ of maiden promise. Well, one evening
il wa. moonlight in the summer timc--we sat
alone in the porch by the cottage door holding
that little white hand in gentle pressure; ono
arm had stolen around her waist, and silent
song Of joy, like the music of the night. was
in our soul. Our lips met in a sweet delicious
kiss. and bending softly to her car we whispered
tale of passionate deyotion-we proposed.
