MEDICAL USE OF SALT.-In many cases OF
disordered stomach, Q tea-spoonful of salt is q
certain cure. In the violent internal aching
termed collie, add tea spoonful of salt to pint
of cold water-drink it and go to bed; it is one
of the speediest remedies known. The same
will revive one who seems almost dead from a
heavy fall.
In an spoplectic fit, no time should be lost IN
pouring down salt and water, if sufficient sensi-
bility remain to allow the swallowing; if not,
the head must be sponged with cold water until
the senses return, when the salt will Immediately
restore the patient from the lethargy.
In fit, the feet should be placed in warm
water, with mustard added, and the legs briskly
rubbed, all bandages removed from the neck,
and cool apartment procured if possible.
In many cases of severe bleeding at the lungs,
and when other remedies failed, DR.. Rush found
two spoonfuls of salt completely stayed the
blood.
In cases of bite from mad dog, wash the
part with strong brine for an hour; then bind
on salt with rag.
In tooth-ache, salt and warm water held to
the part, and renewed two or three times, will
relieve in most cases. If the gums be affected,
wash the mouth with brine if the teeth be tar
tared, wash them twice day with salt water.
In swelled neck, wash the part in brine twice
day until cured.

from the back country in the State of Alabama,
came to Tuscaloosa, and on the Sabbath went
early to church. He selected seat in a conve-
nient slip, and awaited patiently the assembling
of the congregation. The services commenced.
Presently the music of full-toned organ burst
upon his astonished ear; he had never heard
one before. At the same time the gentlemen
who owned the slip came up the aisle, with his
lady leaning upon his arm. As he approached
the door of the slip he motioned to give place
to the lady. This movement the coantryman
did not comprehend, and from the situation of
the gentleman and lady, associated as it was in
his mind with the music, he Immediately con-
cluded that cotilion, or French contra dance,
or some other dance was intended. Rising
partly from his seat he said to him-"Excuse
me, sir-excuse me, if you please, Idon't dance" !"

Three Years after Marriage.
When jaded by the tolls of life
The anxious care and petty strife
That every day surround me;
How sweet to leave such ills behind,
And seek repose to wearied mind,
By straying through those woods so wild,
And feeling once more like child
With dog and gun beside me.
Though many days have passed away
And time and care have made me grey
Still youthful sports delight me;
And all the scenes of other days,
Ny possum hunts and school boy plays,
Come often fresh to me again,
Reviving me as Summer rain
Revives the plants around me.
And now and then some soothing chime
Rolls back for me the wheel of time,
And there she stands before mel
The sweetest girl / ever knew
With heart as pure as morning dew,
With all the charms of ''sweet SIXTEEN"
More lovely than an eastern queen,
The very girl that bound me.
All! bound me heart and hand for life,
Because she is so good wife
And boon companion for me,
Her worth now makes me prize her more
Than ever beauty did before,
And all the wrinkles on her brow
But make me love her better now
As years come stealing DER me.

The following is an authentic anecdote of an
alderman in a provincial town in England, who,
being about to depart this life, as soon as be
knew that his case was desperate, called togeth-
or all persons to whom he was indebted in his
mercantile concerns, and said:
"Gentlemen. am going to die, and my death
will be an inconvenience to You, because it will
be some time before you can get your accounts
settled by my executors. Now, # you will al
low me handsome discount, / will settle them
myself at oncel"
They came into the proposal, and the old al
derman turned his death into nine hundred

IAN amusing spectacle occurred in Venice

tricolor cockade tied round its neck. Immedi-
ately the grave occurrence was reported to the
police, and submitted to the judgment of Gov

arrest Of the delinquent. 1t was now two o'clock,
the hour when the pigeons are fed from win
dow in the piazza, and the culprit was not yet
caught. Then several soldiers were ordered to
help the man who feeds the pigeons, in this un-
dertaking; accordingly all descriptions of SOL
diers might be seen busted in displaying on the
window the most tempting morsels that could
draw thither that audacious trouber of the pub
lie peace. But he, with wicked obstinacy, let
the sbirri take all this trouble, remaining
perched on neighboring building. They were
obliged to make regular siege and take him by
hunger, when he was ptilessly executed"
