CoLDs.-When a man begins to cough
as the result of a common cold, it is the
effort of nature herself attempting the
cure, which she will effect in her own
time and more effectually than any man
can do, if she is let alone and her instincts
cherished. What are these instincts I
She abhors food and Graves warmth.
Hence, the moment man is satisfied he
has taken cold, let him do three things :
First, eat not an atom; second, go to bed
and cover up in a warm room third,
drink as much cold water as he wants.
or as much hot herb tea as he can, and in
three cases out oftour, he will be entirely
well in thirty-s;x hou.s.-Elall.

Naturally, women talk more than men.
The learned Buxtorf informs us in the
Hebrew Lexicon that the primeval name,
Eve, is derived from root signifying
talk; and it was, perhaps, to dim idea
of this kind that the Rabbins owed their
tradition, that twelve baskets of chitchat
lit could not be gossip, for there were
no neighbors to gossip,about were rain
ed down into Paradise, for Adam and
Eve to amuse themselves with; of which
twelve Adam picked up three, and Eve
the other nine."

cHnDREN's FASHIONS.

There are all sorts of pretty goods for
children, but they are often spoilt in tic
making. Bright plaid, or checked pop.
lins should be trimmed with one broad OF
several narrow rows of black velvet.
Poplins and merinos in single neutral tints
should never be ornamented with o bor-
der Of plaid, but some one bright, con.
trasting color, Bright colored merinos
and cashmers, on the contrary, such as
blue, scarlet, or oorn-color, are prettiest
embroidered with white silk, or fine silk
braid, put on in IN embroidery pattern.
Knickcrbocker suits are still the ,laee
for boys, and gored, or what are styled,
the Wartcau" dresses for little girls,
With latter little circular cloaks are
worn, and hats the shape of an inverted
sounplate. The Glengary" styles are
more becoming.

Perhaps it would be more correct to
say, loves among The laces, for certainly
we have never heard SO many terms Of
endearment bestowed upon manimate ob.
jects as by exubcrant young ladies, while
perusing our investigation through this
branch Of the prrsent subject. Such o
-3fove,n and " such adarling," was bestow-
ed indiscriminatcly, upon collars, cuffs
mead dresses, and fancy neckties, and may
be taken as an Indication of their pretti.
ness, if not Of their novelty
With this change in bonnets and in the
style of wearing the hair, a complete al-
iteration has taken place in head dresses.
Three plain gold bands now give that
classic and antique pose to,the head which
is Indispensable to fashion. These bands
are repeated in silver, in velvet, and in
gold studded with pears. They arc sim
ply tied behind with bows and long cids
of satin ribbon.
With the plain gold bands, the hair
must be, worn plain in front, or simply
creased, and arrow of short Aspasia curls
added. But there is another style of vel
vet hands the Egyptian,) ornamented in
front with star. crescent, or pendant, and
forming handsome comb behind, which
may be worn with the hair pulled or
curled.
Bridal wreaths are mounted as Greek"
bands, and as a bouquet, with very long,
trailing branch attached.

Success of the 7-30 Loan,

Our readers will notice that subscriptions to tho
popular 7-3J Loan still continued in the most
liberal manner To the Old World the success OF
these Peoples Loans is one OF the wonders of a
Republic. Tie Government does not seek TO Dor.
row in foreign markets; it offers no premiums to
bankers, but appeals directly to the people, and
with what success is sufficiently shown By the TACT
that during forty-three days they subscribed and
paid the cash down for onc hvnirci aud sixiy-one
million dollars Of the 80 Loan. There can be no
stronger evidence Of public confidence in Govern
ment securities. While nearly all other stocks
have gone down from twenty to fifty, AMI cvcn a
greater rcr cent. within few weeks, all forms OF
T. s. bonds and stocks have remained firm except
the slight fluctuations that eincideut to all rapid
changes in the money market. Our r. adors will
remember that the subscribers to the $50 Loan
receive semi -annual interest at the rate Of seven
and three tcn.ls per cent. per annum in currency,
and at the end of three years from June 18TH
1865, they will have the option OF receiving pay
mcnt in full, or converting their notes into a
so six per cent. gold interest bond. The late
great decline in the premium on gold makes these
notes more desirable than ever as an investment
aud i, should not be forgotten tina; their exemption
from state or municipal taxation adds largely to
their value. There is no interruption in the receipt
OF subscriptions or the delivery ofthc notes. Al
banks, bankers, and others acting as Loan Agents
will nav subscriber, the interest in advance from
the day of subscription until June 18th.

Not Hurt Much,

The so called Democratic papers are cndesvor-
oring to make their readers beliece that the cap
tire Of Richmond and Petersburg are very small
Affairs, after all, sGd predict that the rebellion is
far from being piayed out, and that the wax will
not cease as long as Lincoln is President. We
are anxious to see what these secesh organs viii
say about the surrender Of Lee and his army.
The leaders about here look as solemn az a funer-
al, and il something is not done Immediately to
cheer them up they will despond and so into de
cline. We ran against old hard-shel Demo
Graf on Monday, and we're r,dch amused at his
general intelligence and pertinacity in insisting
that the capture of Richmond and Petersburg and
surrender Of Lee, we're small Affairs to be 30 jubi-
liant over. His faith in the ultimate triumph of
the Confederacy seemed 70 be unsliaken by recent
events. We presume he had come to the cokelv
sion that God had foreordsincd the independence
of the Conseferacy and that he would adhere
tohis conclusion rs matter of solemn duty. This
gan. we believe, claims to be specially called and
sent OF God to preach the gospel. but we csaaot
help thinking he is laboring under sight delu-
sion in this respect as well as some oshess.

Soldiers Families.

The Act passed ut the last session OF the Lcgis
lature for the benefit Of soldiers families may be
found chtire on our first page to day. AS it is a
law in which all are interested in one way or an
other, we thought We could not occupy the space
with ANY thing more interesting to the generality
eur readers. Il is a noble and bencicent law, and
reflects credit upon all who voted for it. We have
but one serious objection to it, and that is that it
confines its benefits to those whom the township
Trustees shall decide need il. Without stopping
to give reasons argue the point VIC do not
think any such provision should have been put in
the law, but that all, without regard to their cir
cumstances, should be places. the same footing.
n not why not make the men Of property who vol
unteer are drafted into the army serve for moth
ingl There are many other reasons why the res
friction should have been omitted, but il will do
70 good to specify them now. The law, if liberal
" administered, will alleviate vast amount Of
suffering and destitutioD, and none but rebel SYM
pathisers, or traitors at heart, will complain Of
the tax levied for this purpose except those women
whose husbands in the army. or have
died in the service and yet are denied any benefit
from the law because they do not happen to be
entirely destitute. All sucl, will have good rea-
son to complain We think they should at least
have been exempted from taxation for this pur-
pose, or permitted to share its benefits
