HEdBRAL GRANT the day before be left
the Chicago Fair, was obliged to capitHlate
TO the ladies', who took him by Storm
Mrs. Livermore said to him: "These girls
are dying to kiss you-but they don't dare
TO do IT," We'll, said the gallant General,
"If they want TO kiss me, why dou't they ?
No one has offered to Einco have been
here" Instantly about a hundred fairies
pounced upon him. He attempted re.
treat, but in vain; be esssyed to break
through The rosy ranks, without success
Then, for the first time, he confessed him
self Vanquished, and calmly awaited the
event. Never was such man subjected to
such an ordeal. On came the maidens by
squads, in file, or singly they hit him on
tim forehead, pel'ed him on the nose,
Emacked him on the check, chin and neck.
There must be dczens Ofkisses lying around
loose hidden in the Generals whiskers.-
During bis terrible ordeal the hero of
hundred battle felds blushed until his face
became almost purple. At last the girls
were partly appeased in their "noble rage"
and he escaped.
CAMP MRETISo ANECDoTR.-At q camp
meeting humber of ladies continued
standing on the benches, notwithstanding
the frequent hints from the ministers to cit
down. A reverend old gentlemen, noted
for bis good humOr, arose and said
Il think if those ladies standing on the
benches knew they bad holes in their
stockings they would cit down."
This address had the desired effect
there was an immediate sinking into the
seats.
A young minister standing behind him,
and blushiDg TO the temples, said:
"Oh, BROTHER, bow could you say that 2"

'its tact-it they hadn't holes in their
stockings, I'd like to know how they could
get them on"
Coop ADvIoE.-lf the body is tired
resii if the brain is tired, sleep. If the
bowels are loose, lie down in a warm bed
and remain there, and Rat nothing until
you are we'll. If an action of tho bowels
do not occur at the usual hour, eat not an
atom till they do oct, at least thirty. six
hours; meanwhile drink largely of cold
water or hot teas, exercise in the open air
TO the extent of gentle Precipitation, and
keep this up till things are righted; this
one suggestion, if praciiced, would save
myriads of lives every year both in the
city and country. The best medicines in
the world arc warmth, abstinence and re-
pose.

A FRESCH suthor has lately said tina
