Boils.
A COMPOSITION.

A boil is generally very small at first,
and fellow hardly notices it, but in few
days it gets to be the biggest of the two,
and the chap that. has it is of very little
comparison with his boil, which then ''has
him" Boils appear niysteriously upon
various portions of the human body, COM
ing when and where they darnplease, and
often in very inconvenient places. Some:
tines a solitary boil is the sum total of the
affection, but frequently there is a ''rubish-
in'@lot Of 'em' to help tire first one. If a
boil comes anywhere on aperson, that per
son always wishes it had come somewhere
else, although it would puzzle him to say
just where.
Some persons call them aDambois," but
such persons are addicted to basphemy-
the proper name is boil. If a chapsbas a
boil, he generally gets good deal 6f'sym-
pathy from others-"in horn" Who
ever asks him what ails him, laughs at him
for his pains to answer, while many unfeel-
ing persons make game of linn, or hismis-
fortune, or boil. 1t is very wicked to
make sport of persons with boils; they
cannot help it, and often feel very bad
about!it. Physicians don't give boil pa,
tients much satisfaction, as general thing,
although young physicians who are Just
beginning TO practice, are fond of trying
their lancets on them. Boils are said to
be healthy, and, Judging from the way
they take hold, and hang on, and acEe, aud
grow, and raise Cain generally, there is no
doubt they are healthy, and have good
constitutions They are generally very
lively and playful at night, and it is very
funny to see man with good large one,
prospecting around his couch for a place
where his boil will titin "without hurtin." !"
Boils tend to purify the blood, strength.
en- the system, calm the nerves, restrain
profanity. tranquilize the spirits improve
the temper and beantity the appearance.
They are good things for married men
who spend their evenings away from
home, as they give them an opportunity
to rest their night-keys and get acquainted
with their families. 1t is said that boils
save the patient a fit of sickness, butif the
sickness is not the best thing to have it
must be an alfred mean thing. 1t is also
said that person is better after having
got rid Of them. Many distinguished per
sons have enjoycd these harbingers of
health. job took the first premium at the

at understood that Mr.. Johnson and

with such cearncss, force AMI ability, as

during the trial, they will have very little
to do. .ir Evarts, it is given out, feels
quite confident that the Senate will acquit
the President, and confidently assert that
such of the charges in the impeachment
articles as can be proved are insufficient to
convict him
Others seem to think that there are Re

THE RIVER.

From its hidden source secure,
In the waste of void and moor,
Where the purple heather glows,
Where the bee its harvest knows,
Dancing down mid flowers and moss,
Dashing in the sudden " fOss,
Darkliug in the rocky pool,
Glimmering mid the rushes COOL
Through sun and shade, through dusk and shivs
Onward glides the little river.
Through the meadows broad and fair,
Under beech trees arches rare,
Through deep woodlands green and shady,
Past gray hills of " lord and lady"
Where white lilies lie serenely,
Wher,raat swans come floating queenly,
Glauce from nests amid the fern,
Where tail willows bend and quiver,
Onward rolls the broad bright river.
Past great towns, whose roar and riot
Start their waters from the quiet,
Past wharves with barges heavy laden,
Bright sailed boats with youth and maiden,
laundering paddles flashing back,
Mimic billows from their track,
Bearing all, for work or play,
Hurrying on, through night and day,
Tribute waters to deliver,
Seaward rolls the mighty river.

GUARD AGAINST VULGAR LANGUAGE
There is as much connection between the
words and the thoughts as there is between
the thoughts and actions. The latter is not
only the expression of the former, but they
have a power to react upon the soul, and leave
the stain of corruption there. A young man
who allows himself to use one vulgar or pro.
fame word, has not only shown that there is
foul spot upou his mind, but by the utter
ance of that word he extends that spot, and
inHames it, till, by indulgence, it will pollute
and ruin the whole SOUL Be careful of your
words as of your thoughts. If you can cons
troll the tongue, that no improper words are
pronounced by it, you will soon be able to
control the mind, and save that from cor
ruption. You extinguish the fire by smother
Ing it, or by preventing bad thoughts burst
ing into language. Never utter word
anywhere which you would be ashamed to
speak in the presence of ladies or of the most
religious men Try this practice a little
While and you will soon have command Of
yourself.

THE HUMAN FRoG.-Ths astonishing
performer, whose nameis Harry Gurr, is
now exhibiting in this country. The follow
are some of his feats He deScends and eats
under water sponge cake or bun. He opens
his mouth to show that he has really swal-
lowed it. Ascending to the surface, soda
water bottle is handed to him ; he dives with
it to the bottom and drinks down the milk
which it contains. He chooses milk because
of the color and in order that the audience
may see that he actually drinks it from the
bottle. A lighted pipe is handed him, he
takes few whiffs above water and then
descends with it; he manages some how to
keep it alight and to emit bubbles, which
coming TO the surface burst in little puffs of
tobacco smoke. Coming to the surface he
shows that his pipe is. still alight. He is
only about II years of age, lightly built, but
we'll made and muscular. He will soon re-.
turn with fortune to England, his native
country.
