Definition Of Good Manners.

A writer in the Atlantic thus
describes what we are always theo'
rizing about:
"The world has been charmed
with fine manners, and why should
it not? For what are fine manners
but this; to carry your soul on
your lips, in your eye, in the palm
of your hand, and yet to stand not
naked, but clothed BY your indi-
vidual quality-visible, yet inscru-
table-given to the hearts of others,
yet contained on your own bosom,
nobly and humanely open, yet duly
reticent and secured from invasion.
Polished manners often disappoint
US; good manners never. The
former may be taken on by indi-
gent souls;i the latter imply a noble
and opulent natnre.

AyeT'sSarSapariIla

A compound remedy, designed to be the most
eftectual AAeratiUe that can be made. 1t il
concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla,
30 combined with other substances Of still
greater Alternative power as to afford an effec-
tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla il
reputed TO cure. II is believed that such a
remedy is wanted by those who suffer from
Srumous complaints, and that ono which will
accomplish their'cure must prove of immense
service to this large class Of ouraflieted fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many
OF the worst cases to be found of the following
complaints -
ScRoRULA AND ScRopuLoUs LospLArNrs,
ERuPTIoNs.kND ERUPrIvE DISEASES, ULCERS,
PINPLRs, BLoroHEs, TUNoRs, SALT RHEuN,

RALaIA OR Tic DoULoUREUx, DEBILITY, DYs.
PEPsIA AND INDIGESTION, ERYsIPRLAs, Ross

class Of complaints arising from IdPunIrx OF

are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the ad OF this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance Of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
nd itself of corrupions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the BODY
by an Alternative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitlated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in piinples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is OBJ
structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse Il
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
blood healthy, and all is well but with this
Pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong and the great machinery of
NE is dlSordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
feputation Of accomplishing these ends. But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
.uone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years the public have been mis-
led by large bottles, pretending to give quart
OF Extract Of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most
q these haye been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa-
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev-
er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use Of the various extracts CT

name Itself is justly despised, and has become

SSThc last discovery of the We,
netian police is interesting. The
Italians, male and female, who re-
main in Venice, have lately ap-
peared, wearing large gold pins,
the heads of which are shaped
like broad beans. To q stranger
this would only appear another
phase of the fashion which made
gold or bronze swords, spurs, or
screws, and ten-penny nails-the
latter called "chiodi," signifying
debts, being a very popular pin
with young Italy-the fashionable
fastening for shawl or handker-
chief: but the quick eyes of the
Austrian police have discovered
that each bean contains the por-
trait of some great Italian liberal;
80 that fashion is suppressed by
law, and the jewellers are compel
led to counter-order the supply they
have ordered from Milan and
Turin.

CURED. The longer or the snakes,
the boa constructor, which is as
large around the middle as a MANS
thigh, had just swallowed two rab-
bits when the keeper introduced his
arm and body into the cage for the
purpose of reaching u third to the
anaconda, at the opposite corner.
While in this position the boa,
not satisfied with his share of the
rations, made a spring, probably
with the intention of securing the
remaining rabbit, but, instead, fas-
tened his jaws upon the keepers
hand, and, with the rapidity of
lightning, threw three coils around
the poor fellow thus rendering him
entirely helpless.
His shouts of distress at once
brought several men to his assist
ance, and among them, fortunately
was a well-known Snowman named
Townsend, a man of great muscu-
lar power, and what was of much
more Importance one who had been
familiar, with the habits of these
repulsive monsters all his life, hav-
ing owned some of the largest ones
ever brought to this couLtry.
The situation of the keeper was
now perilous in the extreme. The
first thing to be done was to uncoil
the snake from around him, but if
attempting this the reptile should
become the least angered, he would
in second, contract his coils with
a power sufficient to crush the life
out Of an OK. A single quick con.
vulsion of the creature, and the
keepers soul would be in eternity.
This Townsend fully understood;
SO without attempting to disturb
the boa's hold upon the keepers
head, he managed by powerful, yet
extremely cautious movements, to
uncoil the snake without exciting
him, after which, by the united ex-
ertions of two strong men, the jaws
were pried openj and the man re-
leased in a completely exhausted
condition. The bite of the boa con-
stricter is not poisonous, and al
though the bitten hand was i'm.
mensely swollen the next day, no
serious results were apprehended.
A more narrow escape from a
most horrible death would be diff
ficult to imagine.
