PRESENCE OF MIND AND COMMON SENSE
Pona, Ulanoi.

S PRESENCE OF MIND AND COMMON SENsE.-H
man faint away, says Halls journal Of Health,
instead ofyelling out like savage, or running
to lift him up lay him at full length on his back,
on the floor, loosen the clothing, push the crowd
away so as to allow the air to reach him, and
let him alone Dashing water over person in
simple fit is a barbarity The philosophy of
fainting fit is that the heart fails to send the
proper supply of blood to the brain; if the per-
son is erect, that blood has to be thrown up hill;
but if lying down it has to be projected hori-
zontally, which requires less power, as apparent.
TIA person swallow poison deliberately or by
chance instead of breaking out into multitude
GUS or incoherent exclamation, dispatch some
one for the doctor; meanwhile run to the kitch-
en-, get half glass Of water in anything that is
handy, put into it tea-spoonful of salt and as
much ground mustard, stir it an instant catch
firm hold of the persons n0se the mouth will
soon fly open-then down with the mixture,
and in a second or two up viii come the poison.
This will answer better in large number of
cases than any other If, by this time the ply
sician has not arrived, make the patient swal
low the white of an egg, followed by a cup Of
strong coffee, because these nullify larger num-
Der of poisons than any other accessible article,
ar antdotes for any poison that may remain in
the stomach.
fla limb or other part of the body is severely
cut, and the blood comes out by spirits or jerks,
be in hurry, or the man viii be dead in five
minutes there is no time to talk or to send for
a physcian-say nothi ng, out with your hand
kerchief, throw it around the limb, tie the two
ends together, put a stick through them, twist
it around tighter and tighter until the blood
ceases to fow But to stop it does no good.
Why? Because only a severed artery throws
blood out in jets, and the arteries get their blood
from the heart hence, to stop flow, the reme-
dy must be applied between the heart and the
wounded spot-in other words, above the wound,
IF a vein had been served, the blood would have
flowed in a regular stream, and, on the other
hand, the tie should be applied below the wound
or on the other side Of the wound from the heart,
because the blood in the veins flows towards
the heart and there is no need of so great
hurry.

A Mormon PARTY EN ROUTE. On Wednes-
day morning a party of about one hundred and
thirty Mormons came from the East by the Cen
trail Railroad and went to the West by the Cana
da rout They are destined for Utah, to join
the colony of Brigham Young. This party was
composed chiefly of females, many of whom were
young and tolerably fair. They were from Eng
land and Wales, and were attended by elders,
who took good care that none Of the lambs stray
ed from the flock The party were not disposed
to hold conversation with the "Gentiles,o and
had doubtless been advised to preserve the silence
they maintained. A citizen approached one OF
the men in the party and inquired if he did not
think it was an unfavorable or unsafe time to go
to Utah when the Mormons were having so much
difficulty with the United States Government
The old fellow replied, that he was not prepared
to anger" the request with anybody, and SO
ended the conversation. Oh that some KIND
angel would whisper to those benighted young
females Of the future they are to see, ana ten
them of the debasement to which they are TO De
subjected, and save them from its terrible conSe-
quences Rochester ~ " Union March ..

Fond of Money -" They say there is a
man in Wall street, rich man, moreover, whose
business while in the street hours, is counting
money. who has such taste for handling coin,
that in riding home in an omnibus, he always
takes the seat nearest the driver, SO that he may
finger the sixpences Of the passengers and pass
them up to the driver, through the usual aper-
ture.
"They do say" also, that having heard the
eminent Doctor Durbin preach, on a certain
occasion, most eloquent charity sermon, he
remarked to a friend, in returning from church ;
".That sermon was a very searching one. He
proved SO strongly the duty OF aims giving, that

IMMORTALITY. How beautiful the following
gem from the pen of Prentice, and how happy
the heart that can use the beauties as he port
trays them:
why is it that the rainbow and the cloud
come over us with beauty that is not of earth,
and then pass away and leave us to muse on
their faded loneliness? Why is it that the stars
which hold their nightly festival around the
midnightly throne, are placed above the reach
of our limited faculties, forever mocking US with
their unapproachabe glory And Why is it
that the bright forms of human beauty are pre-
sented to our view, and then taken from US,
leaving the thousand streams of affection to flow
back in Alpine torrents dpon our heads? We
are born for a higher destiny than that Of
earth. There is a land where rainbows never
fade, where the stars will be set out before us
like islands that slumber on the ocean, and where
the beautiful beings that passes before us IKE
meteor viii stay in our presence forever

The following is instructive, as showing what
acceptable prayer is and what is the just inter
nretation of its model, our Lords Prayer:
oTo watch without prayer, is to presume upon
our own strength; to pray without watching,
is to presume upon the grace Of God. The
Lords Praye is the rule of our duty and desires
we are engaged by evey petition to cooperate
and concur with divine grace, to. obtain what
we pray for. A stream preserves its crystal
clearness By continual running if its course be
stopped, it viii stagnate and purify. The
purity of the soul is preserved by the constant
exercise of habitual grace. Bates

THR kibNaPPER HARTMAN-NARRow EscAPG.
George Hartman was yesterday morning brought
before the Police Court but was Immediately sent
to jalltO await aciion by the Grand Jury. The
Jury failed to end bill against him. This return
was made about halfpast four yesterday afternoon.
Many colored persons bad attended Cousi closely

be made with him. Upon the result being made
known, an officer was sent by Sheriff Wightman
TO discharge the prisoner A number Of negroes
followed him and when Hartman was brought out
10 be set at liberty they made rush towards him,
Fortunately for him, two officers we're with him at
tho time and kept the negroes back for time, but
soon concluded that bis only safety would be
within the portals Of the Conrt room. According.
ly the three walked that way, the number Of ne
groea about them increasing until they could hard
" be kept at bay in their eager desire TO get
hands upon the Judas who had 50 foully betrayed
one Of their race. Safety was sought IN fight and
with all the speed Of which they were possessed,
the ofncer and Hartman rushed through the
Square and into the Court House the excited
crowd In hot pursuit Weapprehend more well
come shelter was never gained by Hartman, as he
rushed, all trembling, into the bar Of the Court,
barely escaping being torn from the room by his
pursuers. A more thoroughly frightened man we
never saw and we'll man might tremble who had
such q narrow escape from Judge Lynch
He claimed protection Of the Court aud at his
own request was lodged in Jail FOR safe keeping, a

Hon. JoHN p. HALE's LEcTuRR,-The Acade-

listeners TO the lecture upon THE Last Gladiato-
rial Contest in Rome" by the Hon John p. Hale.
Necessarily passing over much Of the interesting
lecture, we note what was said of the Noble
Telemachus, o whom is due the honor Of putting
a stop to the barbarous gladatoral strlies.
About the year 3l3 the then Emperor ol Rome
Constantine, proiessed the Christian religion, and
being convinded Of the barbarity and evil of the
gladiatorial combats, attempted to abolish th EN-
Bnt his efforts, powerful though they were, were
unable to accomplish the total cessation OF the bar
