RULES OF HEALTH.

Imprimis, never go to bed with your
feet sticking out Of the window, particu-
larly when it is raining or freezing.
More than three pigs feet and half a
mince pie eaten at midnight, will not
cause the consumer to dream of hours,
paradises, accommodating bankers, and
other good things. AT least, they are
not apt TO do so.
Never stand in rain barrel all night
1t checks perspiration, aud spoils rain
water for washing purposes.
Never spank your children with a
handsaw, OF box their ears with the sharp
edge Of hatchet. 1t is apt to effect
their brains.
Never stand in the hall with the door
open, with nothing but your misc or she
mise on, talking to u friend, more than
half an hour at time.
To enlarge the muscles of the arms
and legs, climb up and down the chin.
ney, especially if the house is four or
five story one, three or four times before
breakfast, and gives voracious appetite.
Ear ache in children is common and
vexatious complaint. To cure it at once,
bore a hole in the tympanum with gim-
let, and pour in oil and things. If the
child keeps on crying bore it all the way
through to the other ear.
Corns may be easily cured. The most
torturing corn can be at once extracted
as follows: Take a sharp knife, find the
Joint of the toe whereon the corn resides,
insert the knife in the articulation, pry of
the toe and throw it away; it will never
return again, unless your dog brings it
back to you in his mouth. Patent ap.
piled for.)
The habit of drinking can be cured by
giving the drinker all the liquor he wants
to drink all the time. We know of two
in our experience, who were cured in
three weeks. One jumped out of four
story window, and ran curbstone into
his head; the other didn't get up one
morning, aud bad his universal curbstone
growing out Of his head in the grave
yard.
The best way to take pills of Brand.
reths description, if you have twenty or
twenty five TO take, is not to make them
into hash and eat them, but load shot
gun with them, put the muzzle against
your stomach, and pull the trigger with
your toe. 1t saves great deal Of dis.
gust to the gullet, and a bad taste to the
mouth.
Never go to sleep standing on your
head. The brain might take notion to
run down, and what would you do, on
waking, to find all your brains in your
heels?
Never shave your whiskers with a
hatchet The best method of trimming
is to pass red hot iron gently over them.
The operation smooths them regularly,
giving the end of each hair smooth,
crispy appearance.

MISTAKES OF PHYSICIANS.

OLIVER w. HOLMES, physician, phil
ospher, and poet,) in a lecture upon ply
sicians, gives the following account of
some mistakes which have been made in
medicine:
"Sooner or later every body is tripped
up in forming a diagnosis. / saw Vel
pcau tie one of the carotid arteries for
supposed anucrism, which was only lit
tie harmless tumor, and kill his patient.
Mr.. Dease, of Dublin, was more fortunate
in case he boldly declared an abscess
while others thought it an anuerism.-
He thrust q lancet into it and proved
himself in the right. Soon after he made
a similar diagnosis. He thrust in his
lancet as before and out gushed the pa.
tents blood and his life with it, The
next morning Mr.. Dcase was found dead
and 6oationg in his blood. lie had de.
vided the femoral artery. ] have DOOM
ed people, aud seen others doom them,
over and over again, on the strength Of
physical signs, and they have lived in the
most contumacious and scientifically itn-
justifiable manner as long as they lived,
and some are living still. see two men
in the street very often, who were both
as good as dead in the opinion of all who
saw them in their extremity. People
will insist on living some times though
manifestly moribund. In DIR. Elders
Life of Kane you will find a story of this
sort told by DR.. Kane himself The cap
tain of ship was dying of scurvy, but
the crew mutinicd, and they gave up
dying for the present TO take care of them.
An old lady in this city, near her end,
got little vexed about proposed change
in her will; made up her iniud not to die
Just then: ordered a coach; was driven
twenty miles to the house of a relative,
and lived for four years longer Cotton
Mathcr tells some good stories which he
picked up in his experience, or out of his
books, showing the unstable equilibrium
of prognoss. Simon Stone was shot in
nine places, and as he lay for dead, the
Indians made two hacks with hatchet
to cat his head off He got well, howev-
err, and was lusty fellow in Cotton
Mather's time. Jabez Musgrave was
shot with bullet that went in his car
and came ont his eye OH the other side.
A couple of bullets went through his
body also. Jabez got well, however, and
lived many years. Per contra, Col. Ros-
sitter, cracking a plum stone with his
tooth and lost his life. We have seen
physicians dying, like Spigelus, from
scratch; and man who had q crowbar
shot through his head is alive and well.
These extreme cases are warnings But
you can never be too cautious in your
prognosis, in the view of great uncer-
tainty of the course of any disease not
long watched and the many unexpected
turn it may take"

near Carson, heard his cautious SSH" and
listening intently was satisfied he heard
the stealthy approach of foe. a sec
ond after, the famed mountaineer sprang
to his feet with wild yell, discharged
his rifle, and called out to his followers to
rush after him. The infuriated yells of
the savages now mingled with their own,
the discharge Of firearms threw mo
mentary fash over the ghastly allray,
and the emigrants were mingled in des-
perate hand -to-hand conflict with nearly
double their number.
The encounter was as short as it was
terrible. The savages counted upon q
surprise, and foiled in this, and meeting
surprise themselves, suffered a quick
defeat. A score of them were left dead
and dying upon the ground, while several
of the whites were brought into the
camp in a dying condition. Leaving
them to their friends. Carson and the
other hunters maintained their watch
until morning. But the emigrants suf-
fered no more molcstation, and few
days after reached their destination in
Oregon City, where Carson leit them ana
returned to the States.
A report of the death of Kit Carson,
short time since, called up this Incl
dent, given me several years ago by re-
turned member of this emigrant party.
He described the night attack more
graphically than | have attempted, and
his picture of this hunter and guide,
whose name is now familiar to every one,
l shall never forget. He stated that he
is a man rather below the medium height,
of light complexion, a slight beard,
sandy hair, mild eye, and with pleas,
ant, goodnatured expression ever upon
his countenance. Met in civilized soci-
ETY., he would be taken for the gentleman
he is; met in an Indian fight, he would
be recognized as the brave warrior he is
at such times. When standing on his
feet he does not present the appearance
he does when mounted, owing to the
shortness of his legs. But picture him
on wild mustang, knife drawn in his
hand, dashing furiously into horde of
yelling savages, and you will have faint
idea Of this Hector Of the Rocky Noun
tains.

How TO GRow PEACHES EVERY YEAR.
The following by correspondent OF
the Ohio Calticator, is worth trial by
all peach growers: "Procure your trees
grated upon the wild plum stock The
tree partakcs of the nature of the plum,
being hardy, and will never winter-kill,
and putting out late in the spring, will
never be injured by the frost, and it is a
certain preventive against the workings
of the peach grub, while the natural life
time Of the tree is beyond that Of our
own so you may depend upon peaches
every year, and for long period of time
without the destructive and discouraging
influences attending the growth of tho
common peach. They can be obtained
for from fifty to seventy-five cents per
tree, and you had better pay five times
that amount than not to obtain them, and
be certain Of peaches every year. Try
il, and our word for it, you will be salts

HuRRYING. - The present generation
may be termed the hurrying age. We
hurry in everything. We eat in hurry,
and scarcely take quarter of the time
required by the animal system. We di-
gest imperiectly and horribly; we hurry
in all our business operations, and if sue
cessful, we arc only so through q horrid
blunder; for it has not been the effect of
thought. We get sick in hurry; we
take medicine in hurry. The doctor
is in hurry. The doctor is in hurry
to kill or cure, and from his jolly face
among his friends, he seems to care lit
tie whether he kills or cures. We die
in hurry, and our friends hurry us to
the cemetery before we are fairly cold.
1t is some distance to the cemetery, and
hacking for funerals is done by the Job;
we are hurried into our graves. The
only philosophical man is the grave-dig
ger. He stops to eat his dinner in the
open grave, and the crumbs of his bread
rattle upon the lids of our cotfins. Our
friends hurry from the cemetery, and the
driver races the horses at two forty
gate, to enliven the mourners and get
rid of them as soon as possible. We are
left in our quiet home, while our friends
hurry on for dear life, to see which can
outstrip the other in the race. Our hur-
rying is done, but the world still hurries
on, and will, till better time and better
state of feeling finls the world more ready
to reverence the severed feelings of the
heart. Grape is bagatelle no one
thinks of asking why we wear it. Truly
this is hurrying age.

wAsnINaToNs BIRTHDAY.
By OLIVER wrSprLL noLsrs.

Welcome TO the day returning,
Dcarer still as ages flow,
While the torch of Faith is burning
Long as Freedoms altars glow
See the hero that il gave us
Slumbering on II mothers breast
For the arm he stretched TO save u.s.
BE its morn forever blest!
Hear the tale Of youthful glory,
While of Britain's rescued band,
Friend and foe repeat the story,
Spread his fame DER sea and land
Where the red cross, proudly streaming,
Flaps above the frigate's deck,
Where the golden lilies, cleaning,
Star the watch-towers Of Quebec.
Look! The shadow the dinl
Marks the hour Of deGdlier strife;
Days Of toll, years of trial
Scourge a nation into life. f
Lo, the youth becomes her leader.
All her baffled tyrants yield;
Through his arm the Lord hath freed her!
Crown him on the tented field!
Vain is Empires mad temptation
Not for him an earthly crown
He whose sword hath freed nation,
Strikes the offered sceptre down.
See the throneess Conqueror seated,
Ruler by a peoples choice;
See the Patriots task completed
Hear the Fathers dying voice
"By the name that you inherit,
by the suiferincs you recall,
Cherish the fraternal spirit;
Love your country first Of all
Listen not 10 idle questions
II its bands may be united;
Doubt the patriot whose suggestions
Whisper that It's props may slide"
Father we, whose ears have tingled
With the discord notes of shamc;
We, whose sres their blood have mingled
In the battles thunder flame 81
Gathering while this holy morning
Lights the land from sea to sea,
Hear thy counsel, heed thy warning;
Trust US, while we honor thee

from insects of the beautiful trees of our

CHEAP LANDS.

There are hundreds of thousands OF
acres of beautiful and rich lands belong
ing to the U. S. in Saginaw, Midland,
Isabella, Tuscola, Gratiot, Iosco, Ros-
common, Bay, and Huron Counties, for
sale at graduation prices, ranging from
% cents to one dollar per acre. Most OF
the U. S. land in Tuscola, Midland and
Huron is SOC per acre. The price is no
indication Of the quality of the soil, but
is graduated by the length of time the
land has been in market. Causes here
tofore stated fraudulent surveys, &c.,
aud now it is hoped generally understood,
have operated against their sale, but the
construction of Rail and State Roads as
we'll as those made by settlers is fast
opening up this section, must hasten the
sale and settlement. Runing through
and surrounding most Of the lands men
toned are groves of pinc---second in
quality TO none in the world, and the
cutting and manufacture of which, makes
and will make for years to come splen-
did home market for all the produce the
farmers can raise. The winter is no
colder or longer in this section than in
the southern part Of The State. Snow
rarely exceeds IS inches on the level, and
navigation is open the year round, with
the exception of about months.
The terms of settlement for the differ
ent classes of lands are os follows
State Swamp Lauds-Sl.25 per acre;
one fourth down, the balance in ten years
with per cent interest. 40 acres Of
this land is given TO any person who will
settle aud improve il, the deed TO issue
after 3 years occupation.

THE CATTLE DISEASE IN CANADA. =

THE CATTLE DISEASE IN CANADA. -
We regret to learn that disease, sup
posed to be plcuro-pneumonia, has bro
ken out in the township of Huntingdon,
Canada East, and that several cattle have
already died Of it. Huntingdon is one of
the townships upon the south side of the
st. Lawrence, bordering on the State OF
New York, and is celebrated for its dairy
produce. The spread of the disease
through that and the other townships
would be calamity disastrous to the
farmers, and seriously detrimental to the
