More Blessings than Crosses.


CONSIDER, that our good days are gen
orally more in number than our evil days,
our days of prosperity (such, mean, as
are suitable to our condition and circum-
stances) than our days of adversely. This
is most certain; though most of US are apt
to cast up our accounts otherwise. How
many days of Cat least competent) health
have we enjoyed for one day of grievous
sickness! How many days ofease for one
of pain! How many blessings for a few
curses! For one danger that hath sur
prised us, how many scores of dangers
have we escaped, and some of them very
narrowly! But, alas ! we write our mer-
cies in the dust, but our Affections we en-
grave in marble; our memories serve us
too well to remember the latter, but we
are strangely forgetful of the former. And
this is the greatest cause of our unthank-
fulness, discomfort and murmuring.-
BiS7hOD Ball.

4. What to do until the Physician Co,neo
If the patient is still sweating. let hin,
drink freely of cold black tea or Coffee tea
is best. But, If sweating has ceased. there
is very great danger; then the head. face
neck, and entire chest should be ranidly
sponged with ice water, and a bap Of
pounded ice, well covered with a towel
should be kept under the head and the
back OF the neck. Give mixture of the
carbonate of ammonia, (hartshorn) and
murlate OF ammonia, eight or ten grains
OF each, IN water, every ten or fifteen
minutes, until the physician comes, or
until the patient rallies and sweats.
4 Word of Caution and Erplonotfon =
Enfeebled, incorporate, poorly fed, over
fed and irritable persons are most in dan
ger OF the effects of heat People who
live and sleep in foul air and unyentilated
places, and who are overworked and under
fed, and who use Intoxicating drink, suffer
greatly.
Instead OF intoxicating drink and the
bad habit of morn mo and evening drains,
let good black tea and coffee, good nour-
lshing and well cooked food be regularly
taken. Battle the whole body early in
the morning, in order to have clean skin
and good natural sweating during the day.
Laborers, and others who have much to
do, should rise 50 early that they can have
several rests, and keep in the shade from II
till 4 in these very hot days. And let
these more important facts be remembered,
namely, that by natural sweating (perspi-
ration) the body is kept BEAUTIFULLY cool
when exposed to these terrible heats, and
that ovor exertinn and all kinds of in
temperance must be avoided.
In his note to the President of the
Board Of Health, DR.. Harris justly urges
that the contractors, builders and other
great employers of labor should be urged
to be considerate to their aen, and give
them the advice and the opportunity for
rest which they now need The fact that
the first fifteen days of July have had an
average or mean temperature ten degrees
higher than has been experienced in more
than twenty-five years, should lead all our
fellow-citizens to use every mean possible
to encourage and enforce sanitary cleans
ing, and the observance of the rules of
health. --.a..- --

Presence of Mind.

An English writer relates the following
incident A lady was in front of her lawn
with her children, when a mad dog rushed
toward them pursued by several men.
Most persons would have screamed and
done nothing, or at once taken to their
heels and left the poor children to their
fate Not so this mother Nerved to
resolution by love of her children, she
walked straight toward the dog, received
his head in the folds of her skirts between
her knees and held it with all her might
until the men came up and secured it.

A Good Daughter.

THERE are other ministers of love more
conspicuous than she, but none In which
gentler, lovelier spirit dwells, and none
to which the hearts warm requitals more
ioyfully respond. She is the steady light
of her fathers house. Her ideal is indis
solubly connected with that of his fire
side. She is his morning sunlight and
evening star. The grace, vivacity and
tenderness of her sex have their place
in the mighty sway which she holds over
his spirit. She is the pride and ornament
of his hospitality, and the gentle nurse in
his sickness Exchange.

LIVERPOOL, February 4, 1S6S.-A steady de-
mand existed for tobacco In this market during
the last four weeks, and the sales have reached
an increased total as compared with the pre-

With but little inquiry for export, 1t has
been satisfactory to notice the chief business
directed to dry leaf and western strips; the
medium grades of the latter being freely taken
by manufacturers, as we'll as Irish dealers.

the purchases Of common leaf for export,
there remains but small quantity to repre-
sent the home trade business iu western strips.

while all fine qualities of strips are firmly

The Artesian Well Strikes a Substra.
fum Lake Of Boiling Water.
From the La Crosse Democrat, February 10.
This afternoon the residents of the east.
ern part Of the city were startled by o
loud report, resembling the discharge of a
park of the heaviest artillery.
The explosion occurred at the artesian
we'll that has been sunk to the depth OF
$50 feet, and situated about midway be-
tween the river and the bluffs.
The workmen at the we'll became sensi-
BILE of a remarkable change going on
| within the bore; the drill had been work
ing through substratum of dark porous
rock for five hours, and had been making
rapid progress, when suddenly the ma
chinery stopped, the rods became vio-
lently agitated, and deafening explosion
ensued, followed by stream Of Boiling
water, gushing with mighty force through
the tube from the depths below. The
startled workmen were blinded by clouds
of steam.
The horses became panic stricken, reared
and plunged violently, and extricatipg
themselves from the harness, dashed madly
over the frozen prairie in the direction of
the bluffs.
The upward pressure of the water is
| very great, certainly not less than two hun
dred pounds to the square inch. The mean
temperature is about 1873 Of Reumur's Their
mometer.
The extensive vineyards of Hon. Edwin
Flint and George A. Metzger are in immi-
nent danger of being submerged by the
| boiling flood.

The New YORK TAX LEVY LAW DECIDED
To BE UNCoNsTITUTIoNAL.-N York,
February 2l.-In the Supreme Court yes
terday an important decision was delivered
By Judge McCann in the case Of Nelson
Smith Us. The Mayor, SC. The case origi-
rated in a claim for compensation for ser
vices rendered by plaintiff as attorney, and
the corporation refused to liquidate on the
ground that no money was appropriated
Tor such object. The issue invokes the
constitutionality of the tax levy law. The
Judge decided the tenth section of said
act unconstitutional and void, aud there
lore gave Judgment in favor of the plaintiff.
