SOMETHING FOR TIE SICK.-A cores
pondent writes: Frequently We find sicl,
people whose stomachs reject all kinds OF
nourishment until conditions follow that
in many instances terminate fatally. In
twenty instances in which | have heard
the popular sick-bed nourIshments pre-
scribed and rejected by an invalid's en-
feebled stomach, l have never known the
simple saucer of parched corn pudding or
bowl of Cruel refused. The corn is roast
ed brown, precisely as we roast coffee,
ground as fine as meal, in a coffee-mill,
and made either into mush, Cruel, or
thin cakes, baked lightly brown, and
given either warm or cold, clear, or with
whatever dressing the stomach will re-
ceive and retain. Parched corn and
meal boiled in skinned milk, and fed
frequently to children suffering from
summer diarrhGa, will almost always
cure, as it will dysentery in adults, and,
l believe, the cholera in its earliest
stages.

Tdlnlu Marin.s,

Professor Stowe, in his paper on the
Talmud, read before the New England
Historic Genealogical Society, at its re.
cent meeting, gave some interesting speci-
mems of the maxims and proverbs con.
tained in that wonderful collection. A
these are different from those quoted in
the able article in the London Quarterly
and since reprinted in the living age, we
transfer few of the pithiest, as it will
be some time before Professor Stoves
paper will be published:
If you speak in the night speak softly;
If you speak in the day time look around
you before you speak.
What business is it of yours to search
into the mysteries of God ?
If you want a leader, look for man
who has nose. (The Jews, 10y the way
had great repugnance to pug noses.)
In the pot in which you cook, you will
yourself be cooked.
The camel aspired after horns and the
Lord took away his ears.
Qn defence of early marriage.) If |
had married at fourteen, | could have
said to the Devil, there, you have sharp
stick in your eye!
The man is fire. the woman tow
And the Devil comes the Goals 70 blow.
The Professor read it, elbow the Goals"
but a good couplet is made by slight
change in position.
While the Rabbi was fasting. the dogs
stole his dinner
OF the field that we reap prematurely,
even the straw is good for nothing.
Great is the value of labor, and it
honors those who devote themselves to
it.
The speculator puts his money on a
stag's horns.
Wo to him who builds big door and
has no house behind it.
While Noah was planting his vineyard
the Devil came to him and said, "What
are YOU doing here - Noah replied,
planting a vineyard "What is the
Use Of a vineyard p inquired the Devil ;
said Noah, Its fruit, whether fresh or
dry (grapes or raisinS,) is sweet and good;
and lis wine gladdens the heart. Let
us work it on shares says the Devil :;
agreed" says Noah. Now what does
the devil do He brings lamb, lion,
hog and Il monkey, sacrifices them,a ,and
mingles the blood with the soil
Therefore, Ii a man eats only of the
fruit OF the vineyard, he is as innocent
and nice as Lamb; if he drinks wine,
he thinks himself Il lion when he is not,
and falls into mischief if he drinks hab-
itualiv, becomes as selfish and as unman-
nerly as hog; if he gets drunk, he
iabbers and jumps about, and is silly and
nasty like Il monkey.

but in few days it gets to be the big

is o: very little account in comparison
with his boil, which then has him"
Boils appear mysteriously upon various
portions OF the body, coming when and
where they darn please" and often in
very inconvenient places. Sometimes a
solitary boil is the sum total of the atiiic-
ton, but frequently there is a ''rubi>hin'
lot of EN- to help the first one. If a

that they are healthy and have

said that boils save the patient "a tit Of

At the trial of the Rev. Stephen ii.
Tying, jr., now going on in New York,
his father, Rev. DR.. Tying, testified as
follows:
''IIe had been an Episcopal Minister
for tortyseven years, and in this time
Vermont, New Hampshire, New York,
Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Virginia, Ma
ryland, South Carolina, Pennsylvania
and the district Of Columbia within the
field and time OF his observation he had
never heard of consent being required
or applied for by an Episcopal minister
to preach within the limits of another
parochial cure it has always been the
custom to the extent of his observation
for ministers, in the line of Ministerial
duty, to follow their parishioners wher-
ever they went unchallenged and free;
as to making use Of less than the PEE
scribed forms of prayers before sermons
under special circumstances it was the
custom of clergymen TO act rs the nature
of the circumstances dictated. @ Do
you know Of any exception? \. The
only exception l know of is that OF 4
very distinguished clergyman Of the New
York diocese, whose religious enthusiasm
for forms led him, in the absence OF books
TO read the responses from, to read his
own part in one voice and the responses
in another. Laughter prolonged and
difficult to restrain. y

An exchange travesties the popular
style of giving the origin of great men
thus: ''William Smith was the son Of
bis mother. This party's grandmother
is deceased. She was a woman" ''John
Brown was the son of old Brown. The
body of the latter lies mouldcring in the
grave Edward Brown was the son
of old Brown by particular friend. y
civilian Cannon was the son of a gun. "
"John Jones was Son of Temperance. ."
''Previous to the age of eighty-iive, Ca
leb Jones had never given any evidence
of extraordinary ability. He has never
given any since" ''Patrick Murphy is
said to be of Irish extraction"

TIE LAST Social REvoLUTION.-Wo-
MEN IL DO THE CoURTING.-Mrs. Oakes
Smith is out in advance of the women
retormers. In 4 letter to the Journal of
Health she says: 81 stand to the point,
and nail my colors to the mast in defence
of it-that it is right, proper and delicate
for woman to choose her husband ami
the man thus distinguished by her choice

i The DYING SERGEANr.-The follow
ing is related by a delegate at Mission
Ridge:
We met four soldiers bearing back a
comrade on blanket. The men halted
when they saw US and laid down their
burden, asking if we would see whether
the color-sergeant was badly wounded.
knelt down by him and said, ''Sergeant
where did they hit you?" "Most up the
ridge, Sir" Il mean, sergeant, where
did the ball strike you ~ ''Within twen-
ty yards OF the top-almost up" ''No,
no, sergeant; think of yourself for a
moment; tell me where you are wound
ed :" and throwing back the blanket, [
found his upper arm and shoulder mash
ed and manged with a shell. Turning
his eye to look for the first time on his
wound, the sergeant said, "That is what
did it. was hugging the standard to
my blouse and making for the top. L
was almost up when that shell knocked
me over. If they had let me alone 4
little longer-I should have planted the
colors on the top Almost up; almost
up" We could not get the dying color
bearers attention to himself. The fight
and the flag held all his thoughts; and
while his ear was growing heavy IN death,
with a flushed face he was repeating, "al-
most up, almost up" The brigade to
which he belonged had carried the ridge,
and his own regiment, ralIying under the
colors which had dropped from his Stat
tered arm, was shouting the victory for
which he had given lis young life, but
of which he was dying without the sight.

\ LANDLORD RErALIATED UroN.-A
gentleman well known to our merchants
as New York drummer, named
Frank W, stopped at the little town
of Salem, Ohio, on the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne and Chicago railroad, a few
weeks ago. He was hungry, and fifteen
minutes was all the time allowed for re-
trcShmcntS. At least seven of the fifteen
minutes had elapsed before Frank could
catch the eye of the waiter, when he was
furnished with 4 cup of coffee and a
plate Of beans. The beans were but halt
devoured when the landlord came along
and demanded dollar. Frank protest
ed, but the landlord was obstinate, and
''all aboard being heard, our drummer
friend was compelled to shell out. Short
ly atterward, being at Cincinnati, he in
quired at the telegraph office if he could
send a dollar dispatch to Salem, to be
paid ut its destination. The clerk told
him he could, when the following was
sent, {. o. ID.
