NosE BIEED.-There arc two little arteries
which supply the whole face with blood, one
on each side; these branch off from the
main arteries on each side of the windpipe
and running upward toward the eyes, pass
over the jaw-bone, about two-thirds of the
way back from the chin to the angle of the
jaw, under the ear. Each of these arteries,
of course, supplies just onehalf the face,
the nose being the dividing line, the left
nostril is supplied with blood by the left
artery and the right nostrl by the right ar.
terry. Now, supposing your nose bleeds
from the right nostril with the end of the
fore finger feel along the outer edge of the
right jaw until you feel the beating Of the
artery directly under your finger the same as
the pulse in your wrist, then press the finger
hard upon it, thus getting the little fellow in
n tight place between your finger and the
Jaw bone the result will be that not drop
of blood goes into that side of your face
while the pressure continues; hence the
nose instantly stops bleeding for want of
blood to flow continue the pressure for five
or ten minutes and the ruptured vessels in
the nose will by that time probably contract
so that when you let the blood into them
they will not leak. Bleeding from cut or
wound anywhere about the face may be stop
ped in the same way. The Creator proba-
bly, placed these arteries as they are, that
they might be controlled. Those to the
back of the head, arms, and legs are all ar
ranged very conveniently for being con-
trolled in like manner.

A MODEL BEGGING SERMON.-NIrs. Jane
Gregory, now residing in New York, at an
advanced age, one of the faithful members of
the old Mulberry street Baptist church, says
that more than thirty years ago, when the Van
dan-strect (afterward Macdougal.street) church
was burned to the grouud and sistor churches
were volunteering to aid the people in rebuild
ing, it was announced that the Rev. Duncan
Dunbar, tho pastor, would preach in the even
ing at certain church, after which Il collection
would be taken up for that object. Her hus-
band suggested that they had better be well
prepared for the call, Us he had an idea that
Mr.. Dunbar was an admirable one for the bus.
mess thus laid upon him-that he would preach
powerful begging sermon.
When he arose i'll the pulpit he gave out q
text, and, contrary to all expectation, preached
a good Gospel sermon, without the least refer
ence to his church or its loss. Just before the
collection was taken up, he arose and said:
When Job was afflicted, his brethren and
sisters and friends came unto him, and com
fortcd him over all the evil that the Lord had
brought upon him and every man also gave
him piece of money!" And then he sat down.
The effect was far greater than would have
been that of labored appeal, setting forth
what they knew already of the loss and future
want Of the Macdougal-strcet church. Every
man did give to his afflicted brethren piece OF
silver; and he gave it with hearty goodwill
and tender sympathy which does not always
follow tircsone appeals and stale arguments
poured and pressed on weary congregations.

SroNGEs. Lowest in the rank of animal
life stands the sponge, creature which has
been known from antiquity, and whose
nature has always been subject of dispute
For some time it was classed by naturalists
among vegetable productions, and only re-
Gently has it been assigned place in the

whether each sponge is single indivdual

ago and on the shores of Syria, although
the commodity is also obtained fron: the
Red Sea. the Gulf Of Mexico, and to some
extent along the whole Mediterranean coast
The sponge has become SO valuable as an
article of commerce, that the fisheries have
been nearly exhausted in order to supply
the demand and unless artificial cultivation
is resortcd to, it is probable that the sponge
will soon entirely disappear. The poorer
qualities are found in shallow water, and
torn from the rocks by means of three. forked
harpoons but the finer kinds, which grow

are brought up by divers, and have to be
carefully detached from the rock by means

Come fill your glasses, fellows,
And stand up in a row,
On Presidential drinking,
We are going for to go;
Let us trample down all party ties,
Beneath our love Of right,
And proudly claim Ulysses Grant
AS Captain of our fight
So, for President Ulysses
Let every glass be bright
May he rule the country he has saved,
And God defend the right!
In the world to-day no prouder name
Is borne on any breeze,
And with Grant to steer the ship of State,
Our flag shall rule the seas ];
No Dominion shall be north of us,
And south of us no foe
Our Stars and Stripes in the Canadas,
And likewise Mexico!
For with President Ulysses
Will be few who care to fight
May he rule the country he has saved,
And God defend the right!
His hand is soft to meet friend,
Animaled to meet foe;
He's the Mississippi river horse,
Resistless as its How;
And our brethren of the beaten States
These aliens" of to- day
Will find generous hand held out
When Grant has come to sway
For generous is Ulysses
To the men who felt his might
May he rule the country he has saved,
And God defend the right!
So, boyska final bumper,
While we all the chorus chant
" For President we nominate
Our own Ulysses Grant!'
And if asked what State he halls from,
Our sole reply shall be,
"From Appomatox Court House,
With its famous apple-tree!
For twas there to our Ulysses,
That Lee gave up the fight
Now boys, ITO Grant for President,
And God defend the right

THE Democrats, who are running
Vallandigham for Congress in Ohio,
forgot to ask, when they nominated
him whether he is eligible. IT the four
teenth article of the Constitution of the
United States is properly enforced, VAL
cannot take his seat in Con-
gress, even If elected. That article de-
clares that no man who took an oath TO
support the Constitution, as Vallandig-
gave aid and comfort to the enemies of
the United States, can hold the office of
Representative in Congress. Now VAL
landiRham was a member of Congress
during the early part of the war, and
as such, had taken an oath to support
the Constitution. Afterwards he not
only gave aid and comfort to the ene-
my, but he was arrested on this very
charge of giving aid and comfort to the
enemy, tried before a military court,
conVicted, sentenced, and the sentence
commnted by President Lincoln to
banishment beyond our army lines. III
It were possible that he could be elect
ed, does any Democrat suppose that he
would be allowed to take his seat con-
trary to this plain provision of the Con-
stitution2 As every member Oh the
House is sworn to support the Consti-
Lutirn, could any member consutu-
tionally vote to admit Vallandigham
In the face OF these facts, Is 1t not
pretty evident that he was nominated
and is running for the express pur-
pose Of creating a row over his admis-
sion, SO as to give the Democrats OF the
