TO THE PUBLIC.

The Committee on Publications Of the Chris
tian Association Of Charlestown have been dl-
rected to make an appeal TO you to aid the As
sociation in the furtherance of the purposes OF
its organization. They feel that in thus invok-
ing your support it is your right to know the
objects to be promoted by it.
The Committee, then, beg leave to state that
the Association is composed of three classes oi
members,-Active, Associate and Subscribing.
The first class comprises members OF the varl-
ous religious denominations 10 good standing
in their respective Churches; and TO them a.
lone is entrusted the official management OF the
organization. The second is composed of those
whose moral character is unexceptionab!e and
who desire to participate in the proceedings
and active labors of the Association. The third
class comprises those who, unable orindisposed
to attend its meetings and afford-thelr coun-
sells, are vet willing to become efficient coadIu-
tors by contributing their means TO give sue
cess to the enterprise Membership in any OF
the classes above named may be secured by the
payment of the annual fee of One Dollar.
The general designs of the Association are,
not only to diifuse religious truths amongthose
who come within the range OF its operations,
and who are often beyond the scope oi the or
dinary means and agencies employed by the
Church; but also to guard, especially theyoung:
men of the community, against the perils OF
temptations to which they are constantly ex-
posed, by Turing them to the use of healthy
and attractive facilities for their mental and
moral culture.
For these purposes they have connected with
their association Library of miscellaneous
works, representing. or INTENDED 70 represent,
the departments of History, Biography, the
Sciences Sci and general Literature, for the use of
the members OF the Association and those who,
under its liberal provisions, may desire to avail
themselves Of its benefits. This collection al
ready numbers between one and two hundred
yolumes-many of them rare and valuable
works, and most of them the property OF the
Association, by the donation ofgenerous friends
and patrons. These, they trust, viii form th'

CITRIC ACID IN CANCER.
cooling effects of lemon juice are
we'll known. Citric Acid is to all
intents and purposes crystalized
lemon juice, and is often used as
a substitute for lemons in making
lemonade, etc. An Italian physi-
clan, DIR. Branding, finding that a
patient, with cancer on the
tongue, received great relief in
eating lemons, was induced to try
the effect of citric acid on other
cancer patients, which hedid much
to their relief. In a case of hope
lessly incurable cancer, it has been
used with the happiest results,
and afforded greater relief from
pain than any other application
that has been tried, and we give it
for the benefit of our medical
readers. The crystalized acid is
used one part by weight, to go
parts soft water. The weight Of a
common nickel cent to a pint of
water, comes sufficiently near
The solution is applied by mois-
tening a piece Of lint, and re-
newed when the pain returns.

A Pheasant Racing with
the Railway Trains.

The Dundee AdUertiser is re-
sponsible for the following story:
A few weeks ago the attention
of the enginemen and guards on
the Great North of Scotland Rail-
way was attracted to the conduct
of e cock pheasant, which seemed
to vie in speed with the trains
This bird, which generally made
its appearance from wood near
the Rothiemay station, came with
all possible speed to the line, on
hearing a train. After waiting
patiently till the engine was fair
ly along side, the pheasant then
started off and raced with great
apparent determination till he was
distanced by the locomotive, which
generally occurred within 400
yards. AS day after day passed
in this way, the bird began to be
looked for at every train, and sell
dom failed to enter the lists. He
also seemed to get better acquaint-
ed with the trains, and commenced
to avoid those with passengers, as
being (it is supposed) too fast for
his powers of speed, choosing rath-
er to make his contest with the
heavier goods. AS may be sup
posed. the bird has made himself
a favorite with the officials, who
say that his ruefnl and disappoint-
ed looks when he is fairly beaten
and left behind, are of the most
comical and amusing character.

DOUBLE CHARGED.-A good sto-
ry is told of one George Shaffer,
who, many years ago, lived at
Portsmouth. He had once been
out shooting, and was coming home
with his game-bag empty, and
weary, when he stopped at the
dollhouse for a moments rest
"There's a fine lot of ducks back
here in the pond," said he to the
toll-keeper; "what will you let me
fire into them for?" Cant do it, |"
responded the tollkeeper; 81 don't
want to have my ducks killed" F"
George put his gun in the toll
house, and walked back to take
another look at the ducks. While
he was gone the toll-man, who
was a wag, drew the shot from the
barrel and replaced the gum
George returned and renewed the
question. '.Well," said the toll
man, sthough you are a good shot,
[ don't believe you can hurt them
much. Give me your money, and
you may fire." The money was
paid, and quite party, who had
gathered round, went back to wit
ness Georges discontinue. He
raised his gun, fired, and killed
nine of them. "Bless mew cried
the toll-man, 81 took the charge
out Of your gun" 'Yes," said
George, 'Isupposed you would. 1
always go double-charged."

Irish Wit.

A son of the Emerald Isle, bat
not himself green, was taken up
(for he was at the time doa0n, near
Manassas Junction, by q Coafede-
rate. scouting party. He wore no
special uniform of either army, but
looked more like a spy than vol
unteer, and on this ground was ar
rested.
"Who are you? what is your
name? and where are you from ?"
were the first questions put to him
by the armed party. Pat rubbed
his eyes, scratched his head and
answered:
'sBe gorra, gintlemen, thin is
ugly questions to answer, anyhow,
and before Ianswer any Of them,
I'd be after akin ye, by ye're lave,

"Well," said the leader, "we are

"All right" said Pat. ''Iknow-
ed We was gintlemin, for | am that
same. Long life to Gineral Scott" "
'Aha!" replied the scout; NOW,
you rascal, you are a prisoner y
and he seized Pat by the shoulders.
GLOW is that-are we not

"No!" was the answer. "We
belong to General Beauregard's

Recovery from Cholera

The following singular fact is
related by the Memorial d Anaiens,
in speaking of the cholera: 'tDu-
ring the summer of 1048, toward
the end of June, the epidemic
reached Brussels, where itattacked
one Sunday in the afternoon, Gen.
eral Chazal, Minister of War, who
gradually sank, and by eleven at
night was in an almost hopeless
state, notwithstanding the attend
anceo of four medical men, including
DIR. Senton, the first surgeon of
Brussels, and DIR. Marlet, a cele-
bratea homeopathic practitioner.
At eight o'clock the following
morning all was considered over,
his face having assumed blue tinge,
and the pulse having ceased so
that the Generals death was CON-
municated to the royal family and
announced in the public journals,
whence it was copied throughout
Europe. Meanwhile an accident
al reference by General Jomini,
before the attendants In the sick
chamber, of a remedy had recourse
to in Russia, where sacks filed
with hot ashes were placed on the
body of the patient, induced the
generals aides-de-camp to try the
plan, and after six hours of in
cessant perseverance the remedy
proved eficacious, the body resu-
ming its natural hue, and anima-
tion restored. The General sub
sequently recovered and is still
Minister of War in Belgium"
