PARENTAL CAUSE.-THE leaves of a certain
South American tree are fatally poisonous to
a species of venomous and destructive ser.
pents which prey upon the eggs and young
of the birds when it is possible to get at them.
A traveller relates that, seeing bird exhibit
great alarm and distress, without any obvious
cause, he watched its motions, and saw it
repeatedly fly to such tree, pluck leaf
from its branches, and returning, deposit it
carefully in its nest. Afer having thus
wrought for while, the mother bird perch.
ed on branch overlooking her nest, and
there watched the slow progress of a large
serpent, which her vigilant eye had discov.
cred ascending the tree. Coiling itself
around the tree it slowly ascended until,
with glistening eye and open mouth, its head
was lifted above the edge of the nest. AS it
came in contact with the leaves with which
the bird had covered her young, the snake
dropped as quickly from the tree as though
lis head had been shattered by bullet. So,
fond father and ,Sather of immortal fledg-
lIngs, lay the leaves Of the best books, which
no serpent sin can crawl over or steal through
about your nest of little ones. Surround
them with everything that is calculated t.
interest them in noble objects and gen erous
courses, and to awaken the best sentiments
OF their young hearts. We make the doors
and windows of our houses burglar proof
Can we not initiate the birds, and make
them serpent proof as we'll?

The letter which Sherman wrote to Grant,
on the 29th of December, 1868, is almost
prophetic " In relation to the conversation
we had in Gen. Granger's office the day be-
fore | left Nashville, repeat-you occupy a
position of more power than ualleck or the
President. There are similar instances in
European history, but none in ours. For the
sake of future generations, risk nothing. Let
us risk-and when you strike, let it be at
Vicksburg and Chattanooga. Your reputa-
ton as General is far above that of any liv-
ing man, and partizans will man@uvre for
your influence; but, if you can escape them,
as you have hitherto done, you will be more
powerful for good than it is possible to meas
ure. You say that you were surprised at my
assertion on this point, but | repeat, that
from what have seen and heard here, | am
more and more convinced of the truth of what
told you Do as you have heretofore done.
preserve plain military character; and let
others maneurre as they will, you will beat
them, not only in fame, bet in doing good in
the closing scenes of this war, wAeR somebody
must heal and mend up the breaches made by

TREATMENT OF DIPTnERIA.-An exchange
says that diptheria in its early stage may be
recognized by any person of ordinary capacity
by two marked sypmtoms-the sensation of
bone or hard substance in the throat, render
ing swallowing diff ult and painful and
marked factor, unpleasant smell of the
breath, the result ofits putrefactive tendency
On the appearance Of these symptoms, if the
patient is old enough to do so, give piece of
gum eamphor of the size of a marrowfat pea,
and let it be retained in the mouth, swallow
ing slowly the saliva charged with it until it
is gone In an hour or so give another and
at the end of another hour third a fourth
will not usually be required; but if the pain
and unpleasant breath are not relieved, it
may be used two or three times more, at
lite longer interval, say two or three hours.
If the child is young powder camphor, which
can be easily done by adding drop or two
of spirits Of alcohol to it. and with an equal
quantity of powdered loaf sugar, or. which
is better, powered rock candy. and blow it
through quill or tube into its throat, de-
pressing the tongue with the haft of a spoon.

Two BALLS MEErING.-A Young ex Con.
federate officer relates the following incident
which occurred during the siege of Vicks-
burg. 1t is the only accident of the kind we
have ever heard Of He says that during
the siege of the place he was on the lines in
front of the town. The sharp shooters on
both sides were busily engaged. Suddenly
quick thud' sound was heard above, and
there fell almost at his feet ball. A pri.
vate in Waddell's Alabama Battery secured
it. An examination showed it was composed
of two balls-one from a MIME musket, the
other from a Belgian rifle. The point of the
former had penetrated the side of the latter
to the rim. Judging from appearances, the
Mimic ball had come the shortest distance
The imbedding was strong, and impossible
almost to be disengaged. The man who
picked it up refused fifty dollars for it. He
said he had no use for money-he wanted the
anomaly to carry home to his sweetheart
lie was killed in one Of the subsequent bat
ties"
We have often wondered why the balls that
flew so thick should not meet in the mid air
but this is the first time we have ever been
told or read of such an occurrence

TOMB OF ST. GEoRGE.-The tomb of St.
George, England's patron saint, is situated
in the Bay of Kesrounan, between the
katr.etKelb and Batroun, surrounded by
luxuriant gardens and groups of romantic
looking villages and converts. The Arabs
venera;e st. George, whom they style Mar
Dijurios, and point to a small ruined chapel.
originally dedicated to him to commemorate
his victory over the dragon, which, they say,
took place near this spot. The tradition is
that the dragon was about to devour the
king of Beyrout's daughter, when St. George
slew him, and thus saved the lady fair;
and the credulous natives point to kind Of
well, upwards of sixty feet deep, where they
stoutly affirm that the dragon used to come
out and feed upon his vic inns. All this is
very curious, inasmuch as it gives an Arabian
interest to the career of the patron saint of
England, whose portrait in the act of Staying
the dragon constitutes the reverse of most
English coin. and is regarded as the embodi.

An actress who is about to appear at one
of the London theaters is the daughter of
Madame Forgeot, also dramatic artist, for.
merly well known in London, of whom this
singular anecdote is related: She was one
afternoon with some friends who had called
to pay her visit, when her maid entered
and whispered few words into the ear of
her mistress. Madame Forgot smiled, and
said to her friends, q 1t is my dressmaker;
she has brought me home a curious dress;
come and see it." They followed her into
her boudoir. when what was their surprise to
find that it was n coffin of most excellent
workmanship, made of rosewood and lined
with white satin. The coffin was standing
upright against wall Madame Forgeot en-
tered it to try it, and with smile ON her lips
exclaimed: Excellent! this dress fits me
like a glove; the only thing is to postpone
wearing it as long as possible" Three DAYS

CoRNELIA, daughter of Scipio Afrieanus,
and wife of Tiberous Gracious was left n
widow ,Iwith large family of young children.
She refused all subsequent offers ofmlrrage,
even when Ptolemny of Egypt wished to
share his throne with her. Her two sons,
Tiberius and Caius, the tribunes who
achieved such greatness and fame. owed
everything to her .judicious training, her wise
and unwearied plans in educating them,
guarding them and inspiring them to high
deeds. She was almost idolized by the
Roman people, and occupied, indeed, the
proudest position of any woman in the histo-

solemn picture of them sitting in the window
at Ostia, and gazing together over the ocean.

with reading the 8 Sorrows of Werter," and
other novels of the exquisitelv sentimental
school, approached stawart Indian, whose

produced the following pictures:

sons and say:i " You shall never do as did;
you shall be spared all this" Oh, these rich

A RENARKABLE INVENTION 1t is stated
that German glass maker has lately made
a remarkable discovery. He has invented a
telescope, or magnifying glass. by means Of
which the most intricate nerves and vessels
inside of the body can be seen from the
outside. In fact, the whole arrangement
and action of the interior organs may by
means of this glass be distinguished. The
discovery will probably be Of immense beng.
hit to mankind. as by means of it the physh
clan will be able TO tell with undying accu.
racy the nature of any particular disease,
and the proper manner for treating the same.
The name of the inventor. who will probably
realise fortune from his disccv ry, is Gott.
lieb Juntz. He is very poor, but well
read highly intelligent man. The glass he
has made will probably place him among
the first rank of inventors, and win for him
the esteem of whole nations. By means Of
this invention he has already nearly cured
his wife. Six months ago well known
doctor said she could not live, and pro-
nounced her disease to be an affection of the
heart. Juntz, however, has now proven to
him, with the aid of the wonderful micro
scope, that he was entirely mistaken, the
sSsmach alone being the part affected.
