MISCELLANY.



The following story is told of ST. Fiipoo
Neri. He was living at one OF the Italian
universities, when young man, whom he had
known as boy, ran up to him with face full
OF delight, and told him what he had been long
wishing above all things in the world was at
length fulfilled, his parents having just given
him leave to study the law; and that thereup-
on he had come to the law school in this uni
versity on account of its great fame, and
meant to spare no pains or labor in getting
through his studies as quickly and as well as
possible. In this way, he ran on long time,
and when at last he came to stop, the holy
man, who had been listening to him with great
patience and kindness, said:
swell, and when you have got through your
course of studies, what do you mean TO do
then?r
Then | shall take my doctors degree,
answered the young man.
"And then?' asked St. Filipoo Neri again.
"And them continued the youth II shall
have a number of difficult and knotty cases to

eloquence, my zeal, my learning, my acute

other; besides 1 shall make my money and

.And then,' pursued the young lawyer,
athen l shall live comfortably and honorably
in health and dignity and shall be able to lock
forward quietly to happy old age"

Here st. Filipoo again lifted up his voice,
aud said, "And ihen?' Whereupon the young
man made no answer, but cast down his head,
and went away. This last And then ?n had
pierced like flash of lightning into bis soul,
and be could not get rid of it. Soon after he

CAUTION TO THE PuRIIC

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out from general use should
have their efficacy established BY well-tested expe-
clan, whose preparatory study fits him for all the
duties he must fulfill; yet the country is flooded with
poor nostruns and ure-alls. purporting to be the
best in the world which are not only useless but Al.
ways injurious. The unfortunate should be PARTIc.

by the best syphilographers, that the study and

successful in their treatment and cure. The mex

treatment in most cases making indiscriminate
