or remembered with such unqualified respect
by his friends The integrity and beauty of
his daily life made him grow into the hearts
of his friends, ard while he had made no
public profession OF his religious faith, his
life gave abundant evidence that it was con-
trolled by christian principle, and when he
did not expect his hurt TO he fatal, he express
ed 4 determination upon his recovery to
make a public profession Of Christian lie
and faith.

&c JOE ELwELL gives the following
receipt, " How to cure q cold" We
have not tried it, but recommend it to the
afflicted. as it will no doubt work like
ginger in . pigs ear +;
We have had the good fortune to catch
n genuine old fashioned "oold," which
has assumed all the various forms known
rs "Inhuenza," or " Horse istemper,"
Cough, Sneezers," Intercoslal Rheu-
matism," or sore-ribs," Catarrh, Asth-
ma, or "heayes," Pneumonia, or "Stitch"
in the sides, and so forth. The following
are few of the prescriptions that have
been wurmly recommended by kind
friends who express their desires to pro-
long our DAYS in this World.
A mustard pouItlce to be.sworn around
the neck and body during the night. and
be sure to sleep soundly and avoid talk
ing.
Drink three gallons Of Black Jack"
every four hours, but avoid any stimulants
stronger than Old Jamaica-to be alter
pated with Cayenne pepper tea.
Wear draught of roasted onions in
each boot leg during the day-no inter
ruption to regular business if you tread
seftly.
Saturate your night cap with Ayres
Cherry Pictorial"
Avoid sneezing when the doors and
windows are open.
Maintain placidity of temper under all
Circumstances.
Keep the nose well tallowed.
Use Kerosene freely as gargle.

EE One of our friens was recently
blessed with an addition to his house
hold, which came like thief in the
night" The next day the happy father
took his four-yea old boy to the upper
room to sec his little brother, who was
quietly enjoying his first morning nap
with his little mouth open. With eyes
firmly fixed on the new conner, and with
a countenance showing trouble within,
after few moments of silence, the elder
brother defantIy exclaimed 81 should
like to know who pulled out that baby's
teeth.-Boston Transcript.

LIFE INsURANCE.-We have often
urged the benefits and duty of Life In
surance upon those whose death would
leave but a scanty support for their fam
Ilies. The value of this sort of Mutual
protection is well illustrated in the case
of Mr.. Harvey. Although bis sudden
deoth leaves his family with no strong
helping hand, yet he had wisely effected
an insurance on his life, of $1,000 in
the Northwestern Life In. Co. of Mil
wnukee, and of $4,000 in the North
western Accident In. Co. of Madison,
Wis. Each of these companies are
managed BY some of the best mon in
tho State, and have the confidence of
the people, and the community here are
thankful that Mr.. Harvey had secured
policy in them.

w FRANK DAGGETT, of the Waba-
sha Herald, thus classes the several
.'drunks" be recently witnessed. Wheth
or, like the Roman historian, he formed
a portion of the history he describes, this
deponent saith not
The distinct and different varieties of
bourbonic indiscretion were amply Illus
tratcd. There was the earnest and af-
fectonate drunk. that leads IFS victim TO
grasp YOU warmly by the hand, and af-
ter accomplishing the elegant little feat
of swallowing one of your ears, whis-
pers hoarsely therein, that 1T is all right.
There is the pugnacious order that pun
Giles the head of imaginary foes in a Vi
gorous sort of pantomime. This is the
style that, in case Of real adversary
appearing, will look about the crowd
with such touching appeal for some
body to "hold Gnu" There IS the bland
innocent drunk, condition of placid be-
altitude that renders its pOssessOr smi-
iingly ind ffegent to all the ills of life
Then the drunk ponderous, that stands
upon its hind !egs-wears its hat on one
side-throws out It's chest and holds It's
lip firm set. This style requires abdom
inal developments for the perfect type,
with n tendency TO political defamation
with q button holed auditor. 1t leads
ore away into dark corners aud whispers
the most trivial matters with agonizing
solennity. and punches you in the stOn-
ach now and then, by way of punctua-
ton. Then there IS the drunk benevo-
lent that warns and expands a diminu-
tive soul into charitable proportions. so
that it will stand drinks all round"
with partrician sort Of Indifference
This generous condition of righteousness
imagines its debts all paid and disposes
the rents Of imaginary estates with law
ish hand. Then there is the drunk mu-
steal that requests the landlord to " fill
that flowing bowl" and murmurs, in a
rnsping sort OF howl, that it won't
go home Till morning" And last Of
all, the drunk beastly, which is simply q
state of utter Inconsistencies that wal
lows in the gutter, adverse to converse
ton. and Indifferent to the kicks and cur
ses of the crowd.
