INDIFFERENCE OF LIFE.-Men differ wide
ly in their estimates of the value ofliie. The
instructive fear OF death which is supposed to
peryade the human family, is scarcely discov-
cradle in some OF the heather nations. In
China, criminal condemned to be decapitat-
ed, can obtain substitute for two hundred
dollars. Straw bail is not more easily procur-
abe in New York, than men are willing to sell
their heads for that sum in Pekin. All the
celestial proxy asks, is a Through for few
days in which to spend the price of his head
in fashion. trivial biunder in etiquette SO
disgusts a Chinese gentleman with all sublu-
nary things, that he incUntinently cuts him
self crosswise on the abdomen, and dies hor-
rible death in order to escape the Notifying
reflection that he has committed breach OF
ceremony. In some parts Of Africa native
will sell his "vital spark" for hearty dinner:
and even in this Christian country, wretch
sentenced to the gallows has been known to
devour his pound or SO of porter-house steak,
on the verge Of eternity.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out for general should have
their efficacy established by well tested experience IN
the hands of a regularly educated physician, whose
preparatory studies fits him for all the duties he must
fulfill; yet the country is flooded with poor nostruns
and eureas purportng to be the best in the world
are not only useless but always injurious. The I'M
fortunate should be PARTICULAR in selecting ms
physician, as it is lamentable yet fDconLfovert-
able fact, that many syphilitic patients are mace
from inexperienced physicians in general practice;
for it is point generally conceded by the best syp-
ographers, that the study and management OF these
complaints should engross the whole time OF those
who would be competent and successful IN their treat
inent and cure. The inexperienced general praetit-
ioner having neither opportunity nor time to make

SOUTHERN PRIDE. We heard recently an
amusing instance of Southern pride. A Ten
nessee lady was in Washington, intercedine
for pardon for her rebel husband. Her ap-
plication to the President was well received,
and he treated her with great consideration
and kindness. In speaking of her interviews
with him to friend, the lady remarked that
the President was very cordial and gracious,
spoke very kindly OF her husband and his fam.
ly, and invited her to stay at the White
House while she remained in Washington
SWELL" said her friend, "you accepted the
Presidents hospitality?" mo" remarked the

Young men troubled with emissions in sleep,-a

Hardly day passes but we consulted by one
or more young man with the above disease, some OF
whom are as weak and emaciated as though they had
the consumption, and by their friends supposed TO
have it. All such cases yield to the proper and only
correct course of treatment and in short time are
