Aus wsll That Ends Well.

Ne have read somewhere of an ingenious
stratagem devised by French lady Of for
tune for securing husband. She kept her
EseH very sec luded lIom society, and gave
ont report that she was frightfully ugly, as
q counter-iDhueRee against her we'll known
wealth. As she was not accessible, per-
sona1ly to her suitors, they, of course, had
lFeeourse to their 5illetCOsr; and among these
one from Belgium pleased her fancy, aud to
his missiye she replied An interview was
accorded, and the fortunate suitor proved to
be a man Of fortune also, and of noble char
acter. When they met in her saloon, the
lady wore mask. She warned him not to
lTisk his happiness by allying himself with
one 50 detormed in face and feature.
He replied:
"Weli. accept my hand, and never unmssk
but TO ihe eye of your husband;" for he was
50 charmed with her sweet eloqueuce and
grace Of manner.
Il CONSENT she replied. 81 shall survive
the appearance of alright and disgust
perhaps eoptemPt-yeu may feel altar mar
fiage."
Sfwill not shrink from the proof' said
he, IT is your heart and not your figure,
that charms me"
In few days their marriage took place,
and notwithstanding his refusal to accept it,
the whole Of her fortune was settled upon
him. Returning from the altar, she threw
herself upon her knees before her husband,
and placing her hand upon her mask, lifted
il, exclaiming; m
s' You have not deserved deforHlity; you
merit The love of beauty
And vision Of angelic beauty now stood

DOGS.


If person is bitten by a mad dog
what should be done This is an i'm.
portant question, yet one that is easily
answered.
Statistics show that large msiori
ty Of persons bitten would never have
| IhydrophObia if nothing was done tc
prevent it; yet many die from this ter.
rible disease, Happily there is a sure
preventative.
The poison from the bite of the rat
tie snake is absorbed at once, and the
system becomes affected Immediately.
Not so with the bite Of ribbid dog.
The poison remains in the wound a
length of time, seldom less than twen-
ty days, before the system is in the
least affected by it. 'saa1oi .r.
The remedy is simple and certain;
all that need be done is to remove the
poison from the wound. When should
this be done The sooner after reeeiv-
ing the wound the better. How is it
to be dohel Best with the knife; cut
ting away enough to make it sure all
the poison is removed, then wash the
wound and let it heal sa
If the locality or character of the
wound is such that it cannot be excised,
caustic should be applied sufficient to
destroy all the poison. Mr.. Gouatt was
bitten seven times himself, and has
used the caustic in more than four
hundred cases, and not one had
hydrophobia. At St Georges Hos
pital about four thousand persons bitten
BY dogs submitted to the operation Of
exeision and not one was known to
have been lost No medicine need be
taken. All the medicines advertised
to prevent or cure, hydrophobia are a
humbug; and persons claiming the
