How TO LIvE.--A wealthy gentlc-
man of Boston several years ago, gave
the editor of the Worcester Palladium
short narration of his own experience
He had an income of $4,000 a year, "a
large sum then, but not considered so
now house in town, and country seat
few miles out. He had several chill
dren---a coach, fine horses and driver;
and took pleasure in riding every day
with his children.
One day, when riding, the thought
struck him that each one of his children
would expect to have fine house and
coach and horses and driver, as their
father had before them, and to live as he
lived; and if they did not they would be
unhappy. He did not think that all of
them could have things as he had them,
or live as he was living and he rode
home; sent his coach and horses to mar
ket and sold them; bought a cheap carry
all, and became his own driver.
With emphasis he declared that no
amount of wealth could induce him to re-
turn to his former mode Of living, for If
any of his children should chance to be
poor, as in all probability some of them
would be, they should not suffer in their
feelings by the reflection that their father
rode in his coach while they had to rough
it on foot The example he gave them
afforded him satisfaction greater thar
his wealth had to bestow.

gratifies the craving the worst symptoms
return, and he falls a victim to the tram
sient qualification. The only safe way is
to have faithful friend or attendant, who
will not heed his entreaties. The suffer-
ing may be, however, safely alleviated and
rendered endurable. Frequent gargling
the throat and washing out the mouth will
bring some relief A spoonful of Gum
Arabic water, or of camomile tea may tre-
quently be given to wet the throat. Sy-
donham's White Decoction" may also be
given, both as beverage and nourishment
in small quantities, frequently. In day
or two the suffering from thirst will cease.
In large majority it has not been intense
for more than "a hours.
Diet. Rice water, arrowroot, Syden-
hams White Decoction, crust water, cam
omile tea, are the best articles for day
or two after the attack is controlled. Cam
omile is very valuable in restoring the
tone of the stomach.
Tie Typhoid Fever. A typhoid state
for few days will follow all severe cases.
There is nothing alarming in this. 1t has
very rarely proved fatal. Patience and
careful nursing will bring it all right
The greatest danger is from drinking too
freely. When the patient seemed to be
sinking, little brandy and water or ar
rowroot and brandy have revived him.
In this terrible visitation of the cholera,
we have considered ourselves perfectly
armed and equipped, with hand bag con-
tanning mixture No. /, mixture No. 2, (for
vomiting, ETC., few pounds of powdered
mustard,a bottle of brandy and paper of

lay no claim to originality in recon-
mending this course of treatment, and
have adopted it from suggestions of able
and experienced physicians. Having been
the only Doctor of many poor families
living near me, have tried various reui'
edies recommended by physicians, but
have found none to be at all compared
with the above. During the recent chol
era cannot find that any treatment ha
been so successful as this.
Contagioa. The idea of contaglol
| should be abandoned. All the missionarie
who have been most with the most ma
hgnant cases day after day, are fully con
vinced of the Acknowledgements of tn
cholera. The incipient attacks which a
have suffered from are to be attributed t
great fatigue, making the constitution liza
bic to an attack.

cripfion of the cholera as we saw it, am

VISIT TO HIS CELL.

On being visited in his cell he told the
old story about the accomplice. Probst
asserted that the work was the joint deed
of himself and Ganther, and that the lat
ter was the thug who committed seven of
the murders. To the killing of the boy
Antoine he confessed. He said that the
lad died without struggle. Flying for
life across the ditch, the longer strides of
the murderer arrested the fugitive, and
the heavy axe, with one crushing blow,
left no after work required. For minute
the boy quivered at the feet Of the assas-
sin, and then the limbs grew rigid. The
others, Probst contended, were killed by
Ganther. They were, he said, killed in
turn, and in the case of the children,
against his protest. 81 asked jake" he
muttered in his broken English, " as much
as ten times not to kill de baby, and did
not want the children kill. told him on

murder, from the Philadelphia Mercury,
which has full account of the coroner's
inquest.
| SCENE NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN.
| The only surviving member of the Deer
ing family was brought into the room by
the Coroner. Mr.. Taylor took the little
pale-faced child by the hand, and turning
to the people, said" Gentlemen; this is
the only survivor of the unfortunate fami-
ly." Then his voice failed, and the sem
tence ended in sob. The jury turned
toward the Coroner with fearful faces,
and deep and settled solemnity settled
on all present. One by one the witnesses
were called from the adjoining room, and
their testimony was given. The most inn
portant was that of the girls from the bag
MOS on the river front, where Probst had
expended the little money he had gained
by the murder. They gave their evidence
with reluctance and infinite disgust. One
of them tainted in the detectives station, |
when told who had passed the night with |
her, and before the jury she recited the
story with a repugnance that cannot be
described. Little Willie's testimony was
the most affecting. Amid the deepest 81
lence, broken only by the scratch of the
photographers pencils, he picked out the
hatchet with which Probst had killed the
boy, and said, g This is my little axe,
used to chop wood with it" And then as
he saw the blood stains and the clotted
gore on the dull edge, burst into tears and
dropped the weapon. Probst trembled,
his teeth chartered, and his fingers closed
convulsively around his knees, that shook
with spasmodic violence.
/ We also copy from the testimony relat-
ing TO the above incident:
Coroner Taylor arose, and taking lit
tie Willie Deering by the hand, said,
/" Gentlemen, this little boy is the sole sur
vivor of his family"
The Coroner then inquired of Willie il
he had ever seen the watch, which he put
, into the little fellows hand. After turn
: ing the watch over, as if examining it
! and probably connecting it in his mind
: with some incident that it had revived
a looked up at the Coroner, and with child's
II artlessness, replied, " Yes, SIR, this is nag
q papa'S soatch." The small axe was then
shown him by the Coroner, and he was
asked if he knew it, to which he replied,
: frankly, That is my axe; l used to chop
! wood with it" and he reached up and
took it from the Coroner. As he held it
in his tiny hands, he looked at the COM
} passionate Coroner, whose breast was
, heaving with emotion, and then at the ju-
rors and the prisoner, and again at the
axe, as if he was revolving in his mind
the truth of what he has such an imper-
feet idea at present.
, 1t was the most affecting and intensely
. exciting moment we ever experienced,
: and deeply impressed every one in the
room, save the heartless murderer, whose
e face through it all maintained the same
! sulen, stolid expression, notwithstanding
that at such moment all the incidents of
his unparalleled crime must have come
before his vision.

PATERNAL DUTY.-The father who
plunges into business so deeply that he
has no leisure for domestic duties and
pleasures, ard whose only intercourse
with his children consists in brief word
of authority, or surly lamentation over
their intoerable expensiyeness, is equally
TO be pitied and to be blamed. What
right has he to devote to other pursuits
the time which God has allotted to his
childrens Nor is il any excuse to say
that he cannot support his family in their
present style Of living without this effort.
ask by what right can his family de-
nand to live in a manner which requires
him to neglect his most solemn and most
important duties? Nor is il an excuse to
say that he wishes to leave them a COM
petence. Is he under obligation to leave
them that competence which he desires
Is it an advantage to them to be relieved
from the necessity of labor ? Besides, is
money the only desirable bequest father
can leave to his children Surely well
cultivated intellects; hearts sensible 70
domestic affection the love Of parents,
and brethren, and sisters; a taste for home

PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND FRED
DouGLAss.-Mr Lincoln's cordial recep-
tion of Frederick Douglass, at their first
meeting at the White House, has become
widely known through the distinguished
orators own account of it in public lec-
ture. In August or September, 1864,
Mr.. Douglass again visited Washington.
The president heard of his being IN the
city, and, greatly desiring second con-
versation upon points where he consider
ed the opinion and advice of man Of
Mr.. Douglass's antecedcnts. valuable, he
sent his carriage TO the boarding house
where he was staying, with request that
Mr.. ID. would come up and take cup
of tea with him. The invitation was
accepted and probably never before in
our history was the executive" carriage
employed to convey such guest to tho
White House! Mr.. Douglass subsequent
ly remarked that Mr.. Lincoln was the
first white man he ever passed an hour
with, who failed to remind him, in some
way, before the interview terminated, that
he was negroF Fs-B f. Carpenter. =,
