Cure for A sthma.

q.
There are doubtless many simple remedies for
thevarious diseases to which flesh is heir, which,
if known and applied, would save thousands of our
felow-beirgs from much suffering and inconven-
fence In the whole catalogue of diseases incident
to humid climates, none are more distressing than
Asthma; and any remedy that will afford relief to
those suffering with it win be hailed with delight.
A gentleman of intelligence and credbiity inform
ed us, a few days ago, of a simple remedy, which
has been frequently tried with entire satisfaction.
1t is this Catch muskrat, skin it, and apply the
skin to the chest and throat, just as you would a
"dickey," with the flesh side next to the skin, and
wear it for several days. If the skin becomes too
dry to adhere properly, apply fresh one, until
the cure is affected. This is certainly simple
remedy and within the reach of everybody in this
country. fit does not cure all cases-and some
of long standing might be found that could not be
successfully treated by any means-it can at least
do no harm. To those afflicted with asthma, we
say, try it, and give the result Of the expert
ment.

Serenade.

We respectfully acknowledge the compliment
paid US, few nights since, by our young friends,
in the way of "moonlight serenade.'' In fact
have not been too frequently favored with these
demonstrations, and being awakened from car
first nap,' We felt some of the peculiar awkward
ness of the situation eff the boarding school Miss
who on like occasion, not having anything suit
able with which to acknowledge the compliment
threw out from her window a delicate slipper.
Butt we, not being lady, Gas our friends knew,
in the absence of Junes roses, did not feel alto
gether warranted in "heaving" orr ''brogans
from the second story for divers reason, and par
ticular ones ditto, which our patrons may under
stand and not deeming it prudent to- make our
appearance in our night uniform, lest should
contract cold, we finally determined to defer the
matter and make suitable acknowie dgennent in
the local.
If we have dene aught to excite the kindly
sympathy of eur young friends, it has only been
in the discharge of our duty and obligations, and
the harmonious manner in which they have ex-
pressed their approval has given little graft
fcation, and, for the future we promise, whatever
be the odds against US, wherever we meet Injustice
and error, to raise voice in warning reproof,
knowing that, -1.e3 .sf's
Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again =
The eternal Years of God are hers :; 'c
But error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies amid her worshipers.
And whatever may be our lot and portion in the
future, we shall ever cherish lively recollection
of the delightful secenade. 'rE T. .ftrs2tl
