MEDICAL UsE OF SALT.-The

salt is a ceriain cure. Ina violent in
ternal pain termed collie, a teaspoon
ful OF salt, dissolved in a pint OF cold
water, taken as soon as possible, with
short nap Immediately after, is one
Of the most effectual and speedy rem
edies known. The same will relieve a
person who seems almost dead from
very heavy fall. In an apoplectic Gt,
no time should he lost in pouring down
salt water, if sufficient sensibillty re-
main to allow Of swallowing ii not,
until the senses return, when salt will
completely restore the patient from
the lethargy. Ina fit, the feet should
be placed in warm water, with mus
tard added, and the legs bsiskly rub
bed all the bandages removed from
the neck. aud cool aperient procured,

failed, Dr.. Rush found that two tea

cant be that our life is cast up by the
oceans of eternity to float moment upon
its waves and then sink to nothingness
Else why is it that The glorious aspirations,
which leap like angels from the temple Of
our heart, are forever wandering about un-
satisfied? Why is it that the rainbow and
clouds come over with beauty that is not

muse upon their favored loveliness? Why
is it that the stars, who hold their festival
around the midnight throne, are set above
the grasp Of our limited faculties, forever
mocking us with their unapprochable glo-
ry? And finally, why is it that the bright
forms of human beauty are presented to
our view, and then taken from us, leaving
the thousands streams of our affcctio TO
flow back in Alpine torrents upon our heart?
We are born for higher destiny than that

Night the Poor Mans Friend.

Night levels all artificial distinctions. -
The begger on his pallet of straw snores as
soundly as king on his bed of down.
Nght-kind, gentle, soothing, refreshing
night-thc earthly paradise Of the slave,
the sweet oblivion Of the worn soul, the
nurse of romance, of devotion; how the
great painting heart of society ycarns for the
return of night and rest. Sleep is God :
special gilt to the poor; for the great there
is no time fixed for repose; quiet they have
none; and instead Of quietly awaiting the
approach of events, they fret and repine,
and starve, sleep, and chidc the hours, as il
tomorrow were big with the fate Of some
great hereafter, The torrent of events goes
roaring past, keeping eager expectation tip
toe, and drives timid slumber away.

The Test Oath.

The Nashville Gazette moralzes on the
Congressional test oath:
Congressional legislation has made seat
in that body obtained by swearing lie, and
the same test will admit one to practice law
in the Federal courts. 1t is now proposed
that our Legislature shall offer the exclu-
sive privilege of practicing in the State
Courts upon the same terms. The result
of such a policy carried out will, Of course,
be to fill the halls of Congress with members
who ought to be in the State prison, and the
bar with lawyers whose appropriate place is
the prisoners dock. In all time and in all
countries test oaths emanate from moral
corruption, which tits in their nature to in
crease and perpetuate. They never have
kept, and never will keep, any but honest
and conscientious men from enjoying, the
advantages that are made to depend on
them
