Horrible Diseases.

How many thousands of persons, both male
and female. are there who are suffering out :,
miserable existence from the effects of secret
indulgence. or from virus absorbed into the
system. Look at their pallid, emaciated
and disfgured faces, and their broken down
constitutions, disqualifying them from the
happiness of marriage or the enjoyment of
life. In this horrid situation thousands suffer
until death closes the scene. Let parents,
guardians, friends, attend to those who are
suffering with any of those horrible, life de-
stroyng maladies see that they are cared for
and cured before it is too late. Send them
Immediately to DR.. Gbbon. physician who
has made private diseases his especial study
for years. and who is certain to cure the
most inveterate cases without mercury Or
any injurious drugs. 1t is important to those
afflicted. or to those who are interested in the
welfare of their friends, to be careful of the
many pretended doctors who infect all cities,
publishing their skill in curing all diseases
in few days. imposing upon the public by
using the names of eminent physicians from
Europe and other places. Be therefore care
full and make strict inquiry. or you may fall
into the hands of those charlatans.

UNDER THE SNOW.


Twas Winters day when her spirit fed.
The casket of earth below,
And mother knelt down by the little bed,
And gazed on the face of her darling dead,
Now white as the falling snow.
She had come with her babe from the sunny
land,
Where flowers perennial blow,
For there the War-Fiend had raised his red
hand
And his mailed ships darkened ocean strand
To.dwell in the CHIMES of snow.
And she looked out on the gray Northern
sky,
And the rivers icy flow,
And she murmured, mo wild birds pain.
full cry
Will soothe my darling with its lullaby,
When sleeping under the snow."
She entwined her hand in the golden hair
That hung in ringlets so;
She closed the blue eyes so sunny and fair,
And folded the hands with a mothers care,
Now cold as the drifting snow.
And strangers came in and lifted up th'
dead
Raised her up tenderly though
And bore her away with solemn tread,
Where the winding path to the church-yart
led,
And buried her under the snow.
No marble points where the little one lies,
No gilded letters show,
But the Savior who dwells in distant skies,
Will roll back the stone and bid her rise
Arise, from under the snow.

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware Of the San Francisco quacks and
pretenders who with bogus sworn to certif-
Gates, dupe the unwary, Some of the self
styled doctors, whose names are to be found
IN the daily and weekly papers of San Fran
CISCO and other places, are tradesmen and be-
came too lazy to work at their trades Some
are tinsmiths, shoemakers. newspaper carri-
ers. intelligence office keepers, etc. etc.
Look over the San Francisco City Directory,
and you will not find their Medical Institutes
IN 1t, but you will find their former occupa-
tlons in it. Look at the Directory for 1862
and 1863. The only way to avoid imposition
is to make inquiry-it will cost You nothing
and may save you many regrets, for as ad-
vertising physic ans in eight cases out of ten
are bogus, there is no safety in trusting any
OF them until you know who and what they
are. DR.. Gibbon does not deceive people hy
exhibiting bogus titles, certificates, pretend
ed patients letters, etc. Dr. Gibbon will sat-
isfy persons who may call at his offices of

grizzly bears chained in cages on deck.
One night in the midst of a hurricane,

into the pitchy darkness of the deck and
reeled to the still more pitchy motion OF
the vessel (bad, the captain sung out
hoarsely through his speaking trumpet,
"Bear a hand aft, there'' The words
were sadly marred and jumbled by the

went down into his boots He mur.

To SETTLE COFFEE A common
way of clearing coffee is by the addition
of an egg. The white is the only val
liable part for the purpose, and only a
small portion of one is needed for an
ordinary family. 1t should be mixed
with the ground coffee before the water
is added. Clean egg shells will do very
well When eggs are fifty cents dozen
they ase not always at hand bit Of
Goldfish, or even pinch of salt, is very
good substitute; and if the coffee is put
to soaking in little cold water over
night. it will settle clear without the
addition of anything.

ORIGIN OF PHRASES.

GLASS HOUSES AND THROWING
SToNEs.-In the reign of James l., the
Scotch adventures who came over with
that monarch were greatly annoyed by
persons breaking the windows of their
houses, and among the instigators was
Buckingham, the Court favorite, who
lived in large house in St. Martin S
fields, which from its great number of
windows was termed nhe 'Glass House.
Now the Scotch, in retaliation, broke
the windows of Buckingham's mansion.
The courtier complained to the king, to
whom the Scotch had previously ap-
piled, and the monarch replied to Buck
ingham: 'Those who live in glass
houses, Steenie, should be careful how
they throw stones.' Whence arose the
common saying.
HEAR, HEAR This phrase, orr
ginally hear him. was first used in
Parliament to remind members of the
duty of attending to the discussion, but
gradually became what it now is, that
that is to say, a cry Indicative, according
to the tone, of admiration, acquiescence,
indignation, or decision.
MAKE A CATS PAW OF ONE.-
Rishardson's allusion to this phrase in
his dictionary fully sustains its origin as
given here. He says: 'Catspaw
Common in vulgar speech, but not in
writing the tool, the instrument, de.
rived probably from the fable, in which
the ape employs the cat to pick the
chestnuts from the hot GOALS with her
paw, while he is quietly cracking
them
This fable is related in story of q
cat and monkey, in Voyage Round
the World, by DR.. John Francis Ge
melli Carreri,, $685. The doctor was
told by D. Anthony Macbado de Brito
admiral of the Portuguese feet in In
4dia, that in order to punish malicious
monkey, he placed upon the fire CO.
,coanut, of which monkeys are very
fond, and then hid himself to see how
the animal would take it from the fire
without burning his paws. The cum
ming creature looked about, and seeing
a cat by the fire-side, held her head III
his mouth, aud with her paws took of
the nut, which he then threw into the
water to cool, and then ate it. Hence
the saying.-PhI Sat. Post.

as Brown courted lady for many years,
