lowing We heard yesterday from an
entirely satisfactory and responsible
source, the particulars of an occurrence
Of Divine rebuke for taking the name
of the Almighty in justification Of a
falsehood. We refrain from mention
ing names through consideration Of
the parties, who are respectable per-
sons residing in the south western Sec
ton Of the city. 1t appears that a
few days since, the aunt Of a young
girl, about eighteen years Of age,
accused her Of having been guilty of
some misconduct, which she positive
ly denied and on being again accused,
she called upou God to strike her blind
if'she was net telling the truth. In a
moment after, according to her own
statement, film seemed to pass be-

ENSye 6 TRAVELLING ,, cove q

g" Travelling" says q wise
writer, "is FOOLS paradise" Of all
the travellers, how few ever really learn
anything, do anything, Or think of
anything, save how to pass away the
time, and "enjoy Themselves" They
go out empty, and return in the same
condition, changing their sky, but not
charging thei> minds. Wisdom does
not dwell in tall cathedrals, nor mar
Bile palaces. London and Rome will
not make an ignorant man learned,
nor will Paris ever make gentleman
out Of q clown. There is no magic in
art or architecture, to make an eye
see which is blind to the subtle pres
ence Of beauty, nor will foreign the
aires, museums and libraries instruct
those who have learned little or nothing
at home.

"Bininger's Old London Dock Gin'' pos
sesses all the qualities that can be desired
for this highest and noblest use of all wines
or liquors. Its ingredients are the distilled
juices of carefully selected grains, made
delicately pungent and favorous with the
aromatic tincture of the juniper berry Age
has mellowed all these mingled aromas, and
given an exquisite mildness, smooth oily
body, and an almost floral odor to the
liquor, which renders it delicious to the
senses of smell and taste, alike, while its
sparkling, liquid purity leaves nothing for
the eye to desire.
In conclusion, the writer must remark
that Messrs. A. NJ. Bininger 4 Co., IS Broad

A Frog STORY. The Hartford
Press prints the story about six ladies
Of Toledo swallowing live frogs daily,
to cure them Of the consumption, and
following l. up with another, e. g.:
A couple Of gentleman from neigh
boring town, who were called to watch
with a sick person who had been given
over by the physicians, and apparently
had but short time to live, after
some conversation relative to the i'm
probability Of stories Of recovery by
frogs inhaling sick PERSONS breath,
resolved to test it. Tho first frog
placed at the dying mans mouth was
as dead as Julius Caesar after only
three or four breaths had been drawn !;
the second lived some time longer
and died, the third lived about half an
hour, end though others were applied,
none of them died. The sick person
Immediately began to mend, and finally
recovered. The parties to the trans
action, who tell the story themselves,
are highly respectable.

Sex IN EaGs.-A correspondent of
the London Field, talking on this sub
ject, says In all eggs, whether of
poultry or pigeons, there is to be found
an indention, resembling the dimple
in the chin, often to be found in our
own sex, in the round end of the egg.
This mark will always be found direct
ly on the top or to the side of the
round end Of the egg. + the breeder
wishes to select eggs for Matching cock
birds, let him pick those Immediately on
tho top Of the egg, and if for hens,
let him choose those with the dimple
on the one side. I have been assured
by those who have observed this Pc
culiaritiy in the marking Of eggs, that
no better method can be adopted to
ensure hatch Of the sex most desired.
The process is at least a simple and
cheap one, and l offer my information
as I have it.

To HARDEN WooD.-It is often de-
sirable to impart the hardness of oak
to doors, shutters, &c., made Of soft
wood. This is easily done by giving
them first coating of common gray
paint, and then sitting some very fine
sand over it. When dry, a second
coating of. paint is laid on after which
the surface becomes so hard tina tit will
resist the influence Of the sun and rain
for years, without undergoing the
