The PRoCREss OF LIFE Men rejoice
when The son is risen they rejoice, also,
when ii goes down. while they are I'M
conscious of the decay of their own
lives. Men rejoice on seeing the face of
a new season as at the arrival Of one
greatly desired. Nevertheless, the revo-
luton Of seasons is the decay Of human
life Fragments of driltwood meeting
in the wide ocean continue together a
little space; thus parents, wives, children,
friends and riches remain with us Il
short time, then separate-and the sep.
aration is inevitable. No mortal can
escape the common lot he who mourns
for his departed relatives has no power
to cause them to return. One standing
on the road would readily say to num-
Der Of persons passing by, will follow
YOU Why, then, should person gricve,
when journeying the same road which has
been aSsuredly lrodden BY all our fathers :?
Life resembles cataract rushing down
with irresistible impetuosity. knowing
that the end of life is death, every right
minded man ought to pursue that which
is connected with happiness and ultimate
bliss.

A REMEDY FOR SMALL PoX.-The Gere
man Reformed Messenger has received
letter from friend in China, in which it
is stated that great discovery is report,
ed to have been recently made by sur
geon Of the English army in China, in
the way Of an efectual cure for small
pox The mode of treatment is as fol-
lows; When the preceding fever is at
its height, and just before the eruption
appears, the chest is rubbed with croton
oil and tartaric ointment. This causes
the whole of the eruption to appear on
that part of the body, to the relief Of the
rest, 1t also secures & full and com.
plete eruption, and thus prevents the
disease from attacking the internal or
gans, This is said to be now the estab-
lished mode OF treatment in the English
army in China by general orders, and is
regarded as perfect success.
SrRACGllyc. There is perhaps, no
evil SO great in our army as Struggling
from the commands. The citizens OF
Kinds and Rankin report that it exists to
considerable exien, among our troops
since The evacuation Of Jackson, Il re.

or Wristbands without a shirt, are not
more useless than one of these. One

and confused, he asked
"What's the matter %
"Nancy went off this morning at ten
O'Clock" replied his wife land the cham

in surprise, you certainly do not mean
that ycu cannot cook dinner ?"
Il certainly do. them replied the
wife chow should know anything

The husband was silent, but his look
of establishment perplcxcd and worried
lis wife. "You look very much sur

had elapsed.
"And so | am" he answered ; cas-
