A PERFEcT CURE.-There i story
going in North Staffordshre that GxTm-
er in the direction of Leek, who had lost
some cows, was fully persuaded that he
had himself been attacked with the epi-
demic. Forthwith he consulted his own
medical man, who tried to laugh him out
Of the notion, but to no purpose. The
farmer then went off to an old well-known
practitioner, who being a bit OF . wag,
and seeing how matters were, entered mi-9
nutely into the details Of the case, ex-
pressed hi. concurrence with the patients
views, and told him he could cure him.
He then wrote prescription, sealed it
up, and told the farmer 10 go to certain
druggist in the next Pottery town. The
farmer lost no time in going with the
prescription, but was somewhat startled
when the druggist showed him the foratl-
Ia. which ran thus: This man has got
the cattle plague take him into the back
yard and shoot him according to act Of
Parliament" There is no need of saying
that this was a perfect cure" lMacelcs-

How A MINER SERVED A RosBrr

How MINER SERVED A RoBBER.
This little adventure occurred in Nevada.
and is told by the Virginia Enterprise a.
though attempts at highway robbery were
not such very uncommon occurrences
there -
Last Friday afternoon miner who
vol ks in the Chollar-P Potosi mine was
travelling afootup Six-Mile Canon. When
about half a mile or SO above the Gould
and Curry mill, a desperate looking vii
lain stepped out into the road in front Of
him and asked him what time it was
The miner drew his watch, when the foot
rad drew knife and invited him to pass
it over, together with whatever money
and other valuables he might happen to
have about him. This our brave miner
seriously objected to, and producing pis-
tol, very lively and exciting scufiie en-
sued, both closing in earnestly in strug-
gle for the mastery, which resulted in tho
wiry muscles Of the hard-fsted miner
bringing him out conqueror, and the foot
pad being foored by several well-directed
blows from pistol and fist. The conquer
ing miner disdained to massacre his pros
trate foe, but in retaliation for small
knife wound in his thigh, he took the knife
which he had captured, and cut the foot
pads ear off, leaving him but one to walk
off on"

Miss Matte J. Bigelow, daughter Of Geo.
Bigelow, Esq, of Skowhegan, has been
in poor health for two years past, and at
times raising considerable blood and suf-
fering severe pain in her lungs. Last fall
she went West, and stopping on the way
with some friends was so low in health
that her life was almost despaired Of
She recovered, however, and on arriving
in Iowa was very feeble for some time
At length sore gathered on her left
side, from which great difficulty was ex-
perienced, until it broke, and needle
came from it. The physician who attend.
ed her gave it as his opinion that the nee.
die had passed through both her lungs
thus causing the severe pain and i'll health
She is now doing well with a prospect o.
regaining her health.--Maine Farmer.

ANEcDoTE OF WEBsTER.-On one oc-
casion Mr. Webster was on his way to at

was compelled TO proceed at night by stage
from Baltimore. He had no travelling
companions, aad the driver had sort of
felon look which produced no inconsidera-
BILE alarm with the Senator. +" l endeav-

Webster, "and had partially succeeded
when we reached the woods between Bla-

fess my courage deserted me. just then

voice asked my name. gave it to him.
Where are you going?' said he. The
reply was, To Washington ain Sen.

fervently by the hand and exclaimed

FAsHIoNABLE SINGING.-A Sarcas-
tic genius thus satirises the present FASH
ionable style of singing: Many time

italian, or what foreign tongue, and have
been chagrinned to find it was only En-
glish; but the keenest ear could not have

INFLUENCE OF FAFFEoTIoN.-There is

young lady should never LET such foolish

vain, nonsensical preference toward this
precious fop, and that idle attendant on a
lady's will. She should lay it up in her
heart as an immutable principle, no love
can last il not based upon right and
calm estimation of good qualities or al
least, that if the object upon which it is
lavished be not one whose heart and whose
head are both right, misery will surely be
her portion. A sudden preference for 8
stranger is very doubtful kind of pre-
ference, and the lady who allows herself IL
be betrayed into such silly kind of afiec
ton, without knowing word of the man,
chsacter or position, is guilty of an in
discretion which not only reflects unfavor
ably upon her sense, but argues badly fol
the nature and groundwork Of that aflsc

An ATTRACTIVE HoME,-I know Of
a young man, who has acquired the appe-
tite for strong drink, but who would not
be its victim. just now, he finds much
assistance in the attraction of his newly
made home, the result Of his recent mar
riage. He finds it more agreeable to stay
at home evenings, than to seek the com
panionship of his former associates of the
bar-room. Does not his present love of
home, serving as a shield from temptation,
reveal lack of exertion of the natural
power of female influence. while he was
yet under the paternal roof, the favorite
brother of four or five sisters?
Mothers, wives, sisters; do you do all
YOU can to make home attractive, so that
your sons, husbands, and brothers may
thus be kept from spending their evening:
in the streets, bar-rooms or saloons
fear that many Christian women are gull
ty in regard to this thing.

AMUSING ExPERIMENT.-An amusing
experiment upon rats was recently perpe-
trated in a mercantile house in Petersburg,
Va. Two Of the animals had been trap
ped, and il was decided to try the effect
Of whisky upon them. Forty drops were
administered to them by force, and the re-
suit awaited. They were placed in a
wide, deep box, into which some gravel
had been thrown. A saucer of whisky
was placed therein. For a while all was
silent, each rat having placed himself in
a corner, where he remained as morose
as rat could be. By and by however
the liquor began to work. The rats be
gan to smile and play with their tails =
then to jump up and squeak; then to fal
down and roll over. Finally, one of then
fosnd the saucer, and, with the pecula
curiosity attaching to the race, dipped hi
nose into it. He drank, and the noise 9
his drinking brought his companion to hi
side. They drank as though they wer
really fond Of the stuff, and, it is estima
ed, took more than twice forty drops
And now they got glorious. They kisse
each other. They wrestled and playe
about They revisited the saucer, an
got mad over it and rough and tumb
fight ensued, which lasted until both wei
exhausted. They then remained for
while, each with paw to his nose, gril
ming at the other. Finally both fell asleeI
and while they were gloriously uneoi
scious, terrier was dropped before thrl
