Though thy work should seem to fail,
Scatter seed
Some may fall on stony ground:
Flower and blade are often found
In the clefts we little heed.

spring-time always dawns for thee;
Scatter seed
Ope thy spirits golden store,
Stretch thy burrows more and more,
God will give to thee thy need,

THE NIGHT LAMP.-There are many
families who use night lamps, and
through inability to provide gas, have
been in the habit of burning kerosene
oil, very good thing when properly
used. A few words on the subject of
its uses at night may prove interest
ing to the general reader. When the
light of the kerosene lamp is turned
down low the combustion is not per-
feet, and the atmosphere of the room
becomes vitiated by the unconsumed
oil vapors by the gas produced by
combustion, and also legitimate parti-
cles of smoke and SCOT thrown of, to
be taken into the lungs of the occu-
pants. Air thus poisoned is deadly
in its effects, and the wonder is that
the people are not Immediately and
fatally injured by breathing it. Its
consequences are the unaccountable
and mysterious headaches, irritation
of throat and lungs, dizziness and nau
sea.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS that the
dreadful malady hydrophobia has be
come somewhat prevalent, an d ii
many cases fatal in New York anC
vicinity, and that the public are be
coming alarmed, | beg to acquaint
you that there is a remedy, which, as
far as | know, has never failed.
1t has been used successfully as ar
antidote for hydrophobia, snake bite;
and the bites OF centipedes, scorpions
adders and other poisonous animals
1t is so effcacious that it has beef
adopted by the governments of India
New South Wales, Victoria, Tasma
MIA, Queensland, South Australia, &c.
and introduced by me successfully il
Egypt. The remedy is under the con
troll of the governments above men
toned, and administered by duly au
thorized and qualified physicians, an(
being no secret, and we'll known t.
my brethren of the medical profession
l have much pleasure in making i
public. Its administration mainly de
pending upon the age, constitution
habits, &c, of the victim, must b.
carefully effected, otherwise, instead
Of doing good, it would be attended
with the most disastrous consequer
ces.
