THE common belief that much OF the uncertainty
of Medical Practice arises from the bad quality OF
Medical substances seems TO acquire daily conhrma-
ton. Through faulty preparation and commercial
competition many regarded as o
primary importance are gradually going out of use
while others produce effects and cause accidents that
do not properly belong to them as described in the
Pharmacopea- New remedies, as suggested and offer
ed for trial often found imperfect, and varying
much chemical character and strength that they
are either condemned received upon false premises
both equally at variance with the proper progress in
therapeutics whilst ost practitioners daily feel that
the Materia Medca is rich enough either to lose
its old remedies, to sacrifice opportunities Of &C
quirlng ones A proper appreciation of these
facts the Subscribers in manufacturing and

TAKING Down A LAwYER.--A story is told
Of very eminent lawyer in New York receiv-
ing severe reprimand from witness on the
stand whom he was trying to browbeat. It
was an important issue, and in order to save
his cause from defeat, it was necessary that
Mr.. A. should impeach the witness. He en-
deavorcd to do it on the ground Of age. The
following dialogue ensucd - 4. $3.50
Lawyer-How old. are yon? Witness
Seventy-two ears. Lawycr-Your memory
of course, is not as brilliant and vivid as Il
was twenty years ago, is it9 Witness-I do
not know but it is. Lawyer-Statc some
circumstances which occurred, say twelve
years ago, and we shall be able to see how
well you can remember. Witness--I appeal
to your lhonor if am to be Intercepted in
this manner, it is insolent! Judge-Y Yes, sir;
state it! Witness We'll, sir, If you compel
me to do it, will About twelve years ago

Lawyer-Yes. Witness-Wcl., sir, re.
member your father coming to my office and
saying to me " Mr.. D., my son is to be ex-
amined to morrow, and / wish you would
lend me fifteen dollars to buy him suit OF
clothes" remember also, sir, that from
that to this day he has never paid me that
sum. That sir, remember as though it had
been but yesterday. Lawyer considerably

Coming Down.

By coming down I understand this -
Learning from the many notifications, dis
appointments, and rebuffs which we must all
meet as we go on through life, to think more
humbly Of ourselves, intellectually, morally,
socially, physically, esthetically yet while
thinking thus humbly of ourselves and our
powers, to resolve that we shall continue to
do our very best and all this with kindly
heart and contcnted mind Such is my
ideal of true and Christian coming down /:
and regard as a true hero the man who does
it rightly. 1t is a noble thing for man to
say to himself +" am not at all what had
vainly fancied myself: my mark is far, very
far lower than thought It had been: had
fancied myself great genius, but find I
am only man of decent ability had fanci-
ed myself a man Of great weight in the coun-
try, but find have very little influence in
deed: had fancied that my stature was six
feet four, bnt find that am only five feet
two: had fancied that in such q competi-
ton never could be beaten but in truth I
have been badly beaten: had fancied (suf-
fer me, reader, the solemn allusion) that my
Master had intrusted me with ten talents,
but find have no more than one. But
will accept the humble level which is mine
by right, and with Gods help will do my
very best there. will not kick dogs nor
curse servants I will not try to detract from
the standing Of men who are cleyerer, more
eminent, Or taller than myself: will heartily
wish them well. I will not grow sourcd,
mopi9g. and misanthropic. know l am
beaten and disappointed, but will hold on
manfully still, and never give up!'' Such,
kindly reader, is Christian coming down =

Rather Oblivious.

for membership Of the church. There was a
meeting held for examining the candidates, Of
whom there were several in attendance.

venerable examiner, addressing our venerable
friend, "please relate your experience"
The old lady, on being thus addressed, lift
ed up her voice.
"Well," said she, 81 don't know what to
say, as told my husband. Mr. Rogers, be-

ricnced change rs l told Mr.. Rogers, my
husband, after came home from meeting,
when become convicted that was the most

band, Mr.. Rogers: and says he | think so
too Then told Mr.. Rogers, my husband,
that I was going to lead different life;
was going to trim my lamp, and have it burn
ing agin the bridegroom come Then Mr..
Rogers, my husband, said he didn't see what
wanted of another,' but he didn't make no
objection. Then told Mr.. Rogers, my hus-
band, that | would join the church and pre-
pare myself for the place where the worm
dieth not and the fire is not squenched; and
my husband, Mr. Rogers, told me he thought
I'd better" = aitatt isat
The good old lady stopped, and the minis

said: " 1-.
"Well, my brother, this seems to have
been as it should bowel considered among
yourselves; you have given it full thought,
and now Lshould like for you to tell us what

It's What You Spend.

sage old Quaker, mot what thee'll make.
which will decide whether thee's to be rich
or not" The advice is tritc, (remarks the
Philadelphia LeagerO for it was but Frank
Inns in another shape: Take care Of tho
pennies, and the pounds will take care Of
themselves" But it cannot be too often re.
peated. Men are continually indulging in
small expenses, saying to themselves that it's
only trifie, yet forgetting that the aggregate
is serious, that even the seashore is made of
petty grains of sand. Ten cents day even
is thirty-six dollars and half year, and
that is the interest of a capital of six hundred
dollars The man that saves ten cents q day
only, is SO much richer than him who does
not, as if he owned, life estate in house
worth six hundred dollars. Every sixteen
years ten cents day becomes six hundred
dollars; and, if invested quarterly does, not
take half that time. But ten cents day is
chid's play, some will exclaim. Well then,
John Jacob Astor used to say, that when q
man, who wishes to DC rich, has saved ten
thousand dollars, he has won half the battle.
Not that Astor thought ten thousand much,
but he knew that, in making such sum,
man acquired habits of prudent economy,
which would constantly keep him advancing
in wealth. How many, however, spend ten
thousand in few years in extra expenses,
and when on looking back cannot tell, as they
say. where the money went to-" To save,
is the golden rule to get rich. To squandcr,
even in small sums, is the first step towards
the poor house.

SHENCE IN NATrRE.-It is remarkable and
very instructive that many of the most inn
portant operations Of nature are carried on in
unbroken silence. There is no rushing
sound when the broad tide of sunlight breaks
on dark world and floods it with light, as
one bright wave over another falls from tho
fountain, millions Of millions of miles away.
There is no crcaking of axlcs or groaning Of
cumbrous machinery as the solid earth wheels
on its way, and every planet and system per-
forms its revolutions. The great trees bring
forth their sboughs and shadow the earth
beneath them-the plants cover themselves
with buds, and the buds burst into flowers
but the whole transaction is unheard. The
change from snow and winter winds to bios
SONS and fruit and the sunshine Of summer
is seen in its slow development, but there in
scarcely a sound to tell Of the mighty trans-
formation. The solumn chant of the ocean.
as it raises its unchanged and It's unceasing
voices, the roar Of the hurricane, and tb6
mighty river, and the thunder Of the black
browed storm; all this is the music of naturS
"a great and swelling anthem Of spraise,
breaking in on the universal calm. There il
a lesson for us here. The mightiest worker

Stephen C was. a jOvial soul, and
hesitated not TO play trick on any one.
Among his acquaintances he numbered a
young lady and young man, both of whom
stammered badly. These were not acquaint-

Bob F., the young man alluded to,
was quite sensitive; and to think that any
one was making fun Of his defect, frequently
threw him into a passion. 1t was Stephens s
