INK STAINS.

INK STAINS.
Ina visit to Marseilles, little incident
came within my observation, which may
prove serviceable- to many OF your large
class of readers. In the Hotel des Empe.
yeurs, where was residing, an ink-stand
was accidentally overturned upon beauti-
full table-spread those present thought that
the cloth was ruined. A servant being
called in, to remove the article from the ta-
BILE, all were surprised when he assured US
that no harm had been done, and more sur
prised still, at witnessing the successful means
resorted to for removing the ink stains.-
The servant sprinkled over the cloth guam
tity of pepper and salt, and rubbed them
over its surface, The mixture soon absorb
ed every portion of the ink, and the table
spread was in as good condition as before
the accident. The spread was of woolen
fabric have never had an occasion for
testing the merits of this simple mixture
when applied to other clothes, but it GER
tainly would not be attended with any bad
result.
NEW YORK, July !. A READER.
PHYSICIANS AT DEATH BEDs.-The venera-
BILE DR.. Mott, in his late address to the grad
yates of the Medical College of New York,
says most instructively: "At the bedside OF
dying patient il, will be your duty to study
thesymptoms of approaching dissolution-he
tacies Hyppocratica, the sudsult'ss, Memuscae
coiitaates--with your fingers on his wrist to
catch the last dying futter of his pulse
But during these moments you may satisfy
no impertinent curiosity. In the presence
of the departing spirit your Office ceases. In
the retinue Of the King of Terrors you are
but q man like other men. Least OF all
can | extenuate any rudeness shown at
such time to the messenger Of spiritual
consultations, be he Catholic or Protestant,
educated or illiterate, white or black. bond
or free nor should you, at any period in
the progress of the disease, deprive your pa
tient of the ministrations of his accustomed
spiritual advisers. Friends may be exclu
ded and conversation interdicted, but those
consultations of religion, that fall like the
de'o upon Mount HermOn,' should always be
encouraged"
IMmoRTALITY.-In the beautiful drama Of
Ion the instinct of Immortality, so eloquent
ly uttered by the death-devoted Greek, finds
deep response in every thoughtful SOUL
When about to yield his young existence as
sacrifice to fate, bis beloved Clemanthe
asks if they shall meet again, to which he
replies: 81 have asked that dreadful ques-
ton of the hills, that look eternal--of the
flowing streams, that lucid flow foreyer--of
the stars, amid whose fields of azure my
raised spirit has trod in glory; all were dumb;
but now, as thus | gaze upon thy living
face, and see the love that mantles through
its beauty, feel that we can never wholly
perish. We shall meet again, Clemanthe."
