the asthma dose of plain -four
of sulphur and mOlasses or honey

administration be persisted in,

A colored citizen of Indianapo-
lis appeared one day last week at
the office of the county clerk, and
asked for marriage license, at
the same time inquiring the cost
of the document and the additional
charge for tying the nuptial knot.
He was informed that the entire
bill would be one dollar and forty
cents; at which he demurred, say
ing the he had promised the "wo-
man. to 60 dollar on it, but she'd
have to pay the other forty cents.
He left with the license to see if
his intended bride would ego" the
change. This is reducing love
and marriage down to rather a
fine point.

BED BUGs.-Take five cents
worth of quicksilver, and piece
G lard as large as a hens egg.
Rub them together in a stone
mortar or earthern bowl until the
quicksilver is well mixed with the
lard. This mixture is similar to
blue ointment. Put small guam
tity in the crevices of your bed
steads. This ointment has the
advantage of liquids, as it does
not dry and become useless, and
will remain for years, unless it is
washed off.

The Wrong Prodigal.

The Fall River (Mass.) Mesos
relates the following remarkable
incident as having occurred near
that city:
A worthy couple, we'll to do in
the world, few years ago had
son who often strayed from the
path of rectitude and went on the
most disgraceful sprees. Marry
ing, he reformed, and for some
years has been as steady Us could
be desired. A short time since an
intoxicated man tumbled into a
drug store, and was Immediately
recognized by the keeper as Mr..
S., who had been so long reform
ed. Word was Immediately sent
to his parents, and coming, they
took him home. He was covered
with mud and filth, but they went
to work bravely and pulled off his
clothes, washed his feet, put on
clean linen, and tumbled him in
to the best bed. The mother,
with futtering heart, took her
way to her sons house to inform
his wife of his disgraceful condi-
ton. What was her amazement
when, after telling with tears and
sobs the sad occurrence, to be in
vited into the bedroom where her
