BOILs.
a BoYs coSxPosITloS.


| A boil is generally very small at first,
and fellow hardly notices it, but in q
few days it gets to be the biggest of the
two, and the chap that has it is of very
little account in comparison with his
boil, which then has him." Boils an
pear mysteriously upon various por-
tons of the human body, coming when
and where they darn please, p and often
in very inconyenient places. Some
times solitary boil is the sum total OF
the affection, but sometimes there is a
rubishin' lot of 'em" to help the first
one. Ifa boil comes anywhere on d
person, that person always wishes i.
had oeaao4somewhere else, although I,
would puzzle him to. say just where.
Some persons call them /" Damboils,
but such persons are addicted TO pro-
fanity-the proper name is boil. If q
chap has boil he gets good deal OF
sympathy from others-"in q horn. y
Whoever asks him what ais him laughs
at him for his pains to answer, while
many unfeeling persons make game OF
him, or of his misfortune, or boil. til
very wicked to make sport of persons
with boils; they cannot help it, and
often feel very badly about IT. Physi-
clans don't give boil patients very much
satisfaction as general thing, although
young physicians who are just begin
ming 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 ache,
and burn, and grow, and raise cain gen.
orally, there is no doubt they are healthy
and have good constitutions. They are
generally very lively aud playful al
night, and it is very funny to see chap
with good large one prospecting
around his couch for place where hi
boil will fit in without hurting
BOils tend to purify the blood,
Strengthen the system, calm the nerves
restrain'the' profanity, 'tranquiIize TIKI
spirit, improve the temper, and beantify
tile appearance. oThey are good things
for married men who spend their even
imgs away from home, as they give then
an opportunity to rest their night keys
and get acquainted with their families
1t is said that boils save the patient "a
g fit of sickness" but if the sickness is
not the best to have, it must be an ali
fired mean thing. It is also said that q
person is better after he has had them,
and there is no doubt that one feels
much better after having got rid OF
them. Many distinguished persons
have enjoyed these harbingers of health.

Fair for having more achcrs under cul-
tixation than any other person. Sneak
speare had them, and meant boils when
he said, +" Zone woe doth tread upon an.
others heels, &C fast they follow"
There are great many remedies foE
bOils, most of which are we'll worth
trying, because, if they don't do any
good, they don't hurt the boil. Every
man he meets will tell him Of " good
thing" for it among which are-shoema-
ker's wax, Mrs. Winslow's syrup, trix,
Spanlding's glue, Charlotte russo, gum
drops, waterproof backing, night
blooming cerus, chloroform, kissingen,

APPROPRIATE ADDITION. - Sometime
ago, says the Montana Herald, an affec-
tionate wife departed this life, and for
the benefit of her husband, who remain
ed in this "vale of tears. she ordered
placed upon her tombstone the follow
ing verse:
Weep not for me, my dearest dear,
lam not dead, but sleeping here; s.fI l59l
Repent, my love, before you die,
For YOU must come and sleep with L.
In a year or so afEerward the affec-
tionate husband, believing It not good
for man to live alone, took unto himself
another spouse, and under the first verse
placed the following explanatory lines
will not weep, my dearest life, sx
For have got another wife. - =
cannot come and sleep with thee,
For must go and sleep with she. 80

The Boston IraUeler says: Within
musket-shot of Wizards Hotel and the
Treasury Building, at Washinston--and
so near the White House that sharp
shooter, with long-range rife, might
throw a bullet through the brain of a
traitor standing upon its steps-stands
a modest brick building, which is as
great an annoyance to President john
son as was Mordecai, the Jew, to Haa-
man of old, because it is distinct and
daily intimation that his authority is not
everywhere acknowledged. There is
no department of the Government loca-
ted there, no institution maintained at
the public cost, no array of soldiers at
the door or on the premises, and yet it
represents power which keeps Andrew
johnson from forcible resistance TO the
laws of Congress. The Grand Army OF
the Republic has its headquarters here.
The Organization, though unknown to
our laws, though kept in existence at no
expense to the public, though composed
of citizens engaged in the ordinary ave-
] cations of life, is not the nucleus of an
army to be formed when the need of il
i shall arrive, but force already in exis'
/ tence, with the discipline of troops al
ready in the field, and the experience o
a long and hard fought war fitting then
for duty Their services may never b
required, but it is unpleasant to An
drew johnson, that at this trying tim'
in the history of this nation there is I
body of experienced soldiers, ready
when the signal shall be given from
: their headquarters, to spring forth fou
i hundred thousand strong, armed and

on record seems to have been named
Jean, at the court of Charles the Simple,
of whom DIR. Doran tells us some anec-
dotes. The good fellows influence was
so great that Charles once remarked to
him he thought they had better change
places. AS Jean did not look well
pleased at the proposal, Charles asked
him if he was not content at the idea of
being king. 8. Yes, content enough,
was the reply, " but I should be exceed
