The Number Seven.

On The 7th month holy observation
was ordained to the children of Israel,
who feasted 7 days and remained Z days
in tents; the 7th year was directed to be a
Sabbath of rest for all things, and at the
end of Z times years commenced the
grand jubilee; every 7th year the land
lay fallowj o~ory 7th yoar there was q
grand release from all debts, and bonds
men were set free. From this law might
have originated the custom of binding
young men to seven years apprenticeship,
and ofpunishing incorrigible offenders by
transportation for Z, twice 7, or three
times years. Anciently child was not
named before days, not being account
ed fully to have life before that periodic
al day. The teeth spring out in the 7th
month, and are shed in the 7th year,
when infancy is changed into childhood.
At thrice years the faculties are devel-
oped, manhood commences, and men be-
come legally competent to all civil acts;
at four times Z man is in full possession
ef hls strength; at five times 7 he is fit
for the bueiness of the world; at six times

ANOTHER REMEpyFoR DIpTHERIA.-The
following remedy fo' this distressing dis
ease is said to have ,een tried in Maine
with great success: rrr.. sd. ..'I
"Make two smallbags that will rea ch
from ear to ear, aud Ill them with ashes
and salt; dip themin hot water, and
wiring them out SO hey will not drip.
and apply them to tie throat; cover up
the whole with a flaAel cloth, and change
them as often as the, become cool. until
the throat becomes rritated, near blister
ing. For childeen it is necessary to put
flannel cloths between the ashes and the
throat, to preven blistering. When the
ashes have been ol sufficient time, take
wet flannel cloth, and rub it with CASTLE
soap until it is c,vered with thick lath-
er; dip it in hot water and apply It to the
throat. ami change as they cool; at the
same time use sarge made of one tea
spoonful of Cayenne pepper, one of salt,
one of molasses in a teacupful of hot
water, and, whe, cool, add one-fourth as
much cder-vinegnr, and gargle everp fif-
teen minutes. until the patient requires
sleep. A gargle maze of CASTLE soap is
good to be used pat of the time"

The Newborn and the Dead.

Lavater, in his F" Physiognomy," makes
the following curious remarks: IL have
had accession to observe some infants i'm
mediately on their birth, and have found
an astonishing resemblance between their
profile and that of their father. A few
days after. the resemblance almost entire
ly disappeared; the natural influence of
the air and food. and probably the change
of pasture, had so altered the design of
the face, that you could have believed it
a different individual. afterwards saw
two of these children die, the one at six
weeks, and the other at four years of age
and about twelve hours after the death,
they completely recovered the profile
which had struck me so much at their
birth; only the profile of the dead child
was. as might be expected, more strong
ly marked and more terse than that of the
living. The third day the resemblance
began to disappear. l knew a man OF
fifty years, and another of seventy, both
of whom. when alive, appeared to have
no manner of resemblance to their chill
dren, and whose physiognomies belonged,
if l may SO express myself, to a totally
different class. Two days after their
death the profile of one became perfectly
conformed to that of his eldest son, and
the image of the other might be traced in
the third of his sons. The likeness was
quite as distinctly marked as that of the
children, who, immediately after their
death, brought to my recollection the
which they had at their
birth. .. .r..-.- r..I..... .......

Nos Deep Enough for Praying.

We heard, night or two since. q toll
cradle good story of couple of raftsmen.
The event occurred during the big blow
on the Mississippi. at which time SO many
RATS were swamped, and so many steam
boats lost their sky-riegings. A raft was
just emerging from Lake Pepin as the
squall came. In an instant the raft was
pitching and wIithing as if suddenly
dropped into Chary ybdis, while the waves
broke over with tremendous uproar, and
expecting instant destruction, the RATS
man dropped on his knees and commenc-
ed praying with vim equal tothe emer-
gency. Happening to open his eyes an
instant, he observed his companion, not
engaged in prayer, but pushing pole in
to the water at the side of the raft.
whats that yer doin.' Mike?" said
he; "get down on yer knees. now, for
there isn't mint between us and Purga-
tory!"
"Be aisy, Pat" said the other, as he
coolly continued to punch the water with
his pole; "be aisy, now! auhat's tie use Of
praying pAen you can touch bottom wih a
pole?"
Mike is pretty good specimen of
large class of Christians. who prefer to
omit prayer as long as they can ''tech
bottom"

MoNEY.-Money is queer institution.
1t buys provender, satisfies justice, and
heals wounded honor. Everything re-
solves itself into cash. from stock. .jobbing
to building churches. Childhood Graves
pennies; youth aspires to dimes; manhood
is swayed by the mighty dollar. The
blacksmith swings the sledge, the lawyer
pleads for his client, and the iudgc de-
cides the question OF life or death for his
salary. Money makes the man, there
fore man mnst make money, for the eye
of the world looks through golden spec
tacles. IL buys Brussels carpets. lace
curtains, gilden cornices, rich furniture.
and builds marble mansions. u gilds the
rugged scenes and turmoils are encased in
a guilt frame. 1t bids care vanish, soothes
tho anguish of the bed of sickness; stops
short OF nothing save the grim destroyer.
whose relentless hand spares none. but
levels all mortal distinctions, and teaches
poor, weak humanity that it is bat dust.
Thus wealth pauses on the brink Of eter-
nifty: the beggar and the millionaire rest
side by side beneath the sod.

SANDER.

Yes, you pass it along, whether you
believe it or not. You don't believe one
sided whispers against the character Of
another, but you will use your influence
to bear up the false report, and pass it on
the current. Strange creatures are man
kind. How many benevolent deeds have
been chilled by the shrug of a shoulder
How many individuals have been shun-
ned by a gentle, mysterious hint; how
many chaste blossoms have been rung
With grief at a single nod. How many
graves have been dug by false report
Yet you will keep it above the water by a
wag of your tongue, when you might sink
ii forever. Lisp not word that may in
ure the character Of another. Be deter
mined to listen to no slander. that as far
as you are concerned, it may die. But
tell it once and it may so on as the wing
Of the wind, increasing with each breath
till it is circulated through the State. and
has brought to the grave one who might
have been a blessing to the world.

Revolving News from Africa.

In spite of the efforts of the English
Government to prevent it, the grand
CUSTOM of Badahnng. King of Dahomey
in memory of the death of his father, has a,
last taken place. The number of persons
slain is variously estimated at from 1000
to 1000; and writer who was present
by cumpulsion says the "blood swept
past him like food into vast reservoir.
Another speaking of the butchery says,
at made me quite sick, and at the same
time felt stunned. The poor wretches
met death with perfect inditferece." The
British Government has sent a Consul
with power to treat for the abolition of
this barbarity. but persons acquainted
with the natives say that the only availa-
BILE remedy is to 'squelch' the King, and
by dealing fairly with the natives let the
'custom die out-or, in other words, it is
proposed that the English should at once
subjugate the kingdom v..r"
