How Joe Won the Pencil

Joe B. is unquestionably
1.-THE handsomest married man of
Cincinnati. Joe sports wife, be-
tsides several other creature COM
forts. Well, he and his wife, Har-
Sry-- and George and their
wives all board at the same house.
A day or two ago, while they were
at the table luxuriating on de-
tached portions of a boiled turkey,
with oysters, the conversation
turned on christian names, when
Mrs. Harry contended that she
could name more distinguished in
diyiduals that bore the name of
Harry than any gentleman could
Of his own name, concluding by
offering a gold pencil as a wager
against a suitable equivalent if
she should win. st
The trial commenced-Mrs.
Harry started off with "Harry of
the West" adding a dozen others.
George now gathered up
on Washington, the four Georges
of England, and Lord George of
France, etc. - saeila
"Now, Mr.. John, what haveyou
to say?' asked the charming Mrs.
Harry. a4f. aHfe ~ tir
'.Oh! l can give you a hundred.

''Stop, stop, you can't win
Mr.. Joseph, it's your turn now"
continued the laughing little wo-
Now, if ever a bashful manlived,
it is friend Joe. He dared not
look up He. had been racking
his brain for an answer, but to no
lpurpose-and in dispair he made
one grand effort, and raising his
head, replied: ~ moa

name of Joseph, except the gen.
tleman we read about in the sa-
cred scripture-he who was such

epidemic have recovered. In ad-
dition to the second mixture, bran
dy Ga table spoonful every half
phour,) bottles of hot water sur
rounding the patient, especially
the extremities, sinapisms and
friction, will often in an hour or
two work wonders.
Thirst.-In these, and in all ad-
vanced cases, thirst creates intense
suffering. The sufferer Graves
water, and as sure as he gratifies
the cravings the worst symptoms
return and he fails victim to the
transient qualification. The only
safe way is to have a faithful friend
or attendant who will not heed
his entreaties. The suffering may
be, however, safely alleviated and
rendered endurable. Frequent
gargling the throat and washing
out the mouth will bring some re-
lief. A spoonful of gum arabic wa
ter or of camomile tea may be CIV
en- to wet the throat. Lynden-
hams White Decoction may al
so be given, both as beverage
and nourishment, in small guam
titles, frequently. In a day or
two the suffering from thirst will
cease. In a large majority of ca
ses it has not been intense for
more than twenty-four hours.
Diet.-Rice water, arrow root,
Lyndenham's White Decoction,
crust water, camomile tea, are the
best articles for day or two after
the attack is controlled. Camo-
mile is very valuable in restoring
the tone of the stomach.
l lay no claim to originality in
commencing this course of treat
ment. l have adopted it from sug-
gestions of able and experienced
physicians. Having been the on
ly doctor of many poor families, |
have tried various remedies recon-
mended by physicians, but | have
found none compared to the above.
During the recent cholera | can
not find that any treatment has
been so successful as this.
Con,dgion-The idea of conta-
gion should be abandoned. All
the missionaries who have been
most with the most malignant ca
ses, day after day, are fully con-
vinced of the non-contagiousness
of the cholera. The incipient at
tacks which all have suffered from
are to beattributed to great fatigue,
making the constitution liable to
an attack. r sHo ah1

THE WIFE'S REPLY.
Thou askest me what offerings bright

I0Ou aSkest me WHft oucIinSs ofiSns
From climes beyond the sea,
Thou mayst collect with loving pride,
To lavish upon me?
Iseek not costly gems to grace
My brow: thou says'st tits fair
And if it be, why love, should I
Thy glance with jewels share?
Why speakest thou of orient pearls
To lay upon my breast!
l have treasure dearer far,
And filter there to rest:
Thy child and mine my bosom claims,
Thereon repose to seek;
And all the pearls the ocean hides 4
Are worthless near his cheek.
And when upon his face i gaze,
With rapture there see eE s
What pearls or diamonds could not yield
A likeness, love, cf thee.
Speak then no more of things Ike these;
When thou com'st home again
The Joy of seeing thee will make
All other treasures vain.
But If thou wouldst that joy increase,
I'll gladly tell thee bow Ed.
Bring, bring me back thy heart again
AS much my own as now! q i'~'

Sensible and True.

The following is the concluding
paragraph from a forcible article
in. the Clarksville Ten n. G,roni-
Gle of the 50th ultimo, on the sit
uation of public affairs in this
State:
The cry of disloyalty will not
much longer serve as a pretext for
enslaving a people who have hon
estly complied with all the condi-
tions exacted; who are yielding
a prompt and willing obedience
to law, and give a jealous support
to the Constitution and the Union.
These are the only true tests of
loyalty, and fortunate would it be
for the country, if every Radical
in it could show a similar record,
and would act upon the same prin-
ciples that guide the hated and
oppressed rebels. For one, we
would not exchange the conscious
nessro having acted honestly in
the past, and of being honest now,
in our professions of allegiance, for
the SCARED and scared con-
science Of every Radical in the
State. High positions that entail
contempt, because contemptibly fill
ed, and salaries garnered at the
expense of principle and political
Justice, may satisfy the ambition
Of those who look upon office and
money as synonyms of honor and
virtue; but.h is the man to be
honored and trusted, in these
times, who fought bravely for the
cause he believed to be righteous,
and, when beaten, is as honest in
his submission to inevitable fate, as
he had been conscientious in his
resistance. Such men may, for
o while be reviled and oppress-
ed, but there is a power in enlight-
ened public sentiment which will
eventually set them free, and
wipe off the foul aspersions hurled
at them by sordid selfshness and
malignant hate. So will it be,
and the day is not distant-no
Radical legislation can long defer
it. So confident are we of this re-
suit, that we can almost laugh at
the antic tricks of our rulers, in
toxicated by inhaling the exhila-
rating gas of little brief authori-
ty, who will soon learn that armed
rebellion against those in authori-
ty, is less crime than insidious
treason against the Constitution,
and the rights guaranteed by it to
the States and the people.

ONE BY ONE.


One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee, u
Let thy whole strength go to each;
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Learn thou first what these can teach.
One by one bright gifts from Heaven)
Joys are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready too to let them go.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band;
One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life's long sorrow;
See how small each moments pain;
God will help thee for to morrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly
Has its task to do or bear;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
If thou set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regretting,
Or of passing hours despond;
Nor, the daily toll forgetting, s.
Look too eagerly hey ond. -s
Hours are golden links, Gods tokeE,
Reaching heaven; but one by one,
Take them, lest the chain be broken
Ere the pilgrimage be done.
