How to Prevent tn. pltt,ng of small

San Francisco, with large recent expe-
rience, is learned on the subject OF the
smallpox, and sends over these meth
ods to prevent the pitting of the disease.
We suppose it is not necessary to use
all the remedies at ence. .First-Evacuate
the vesicles carefully soon after they are
formed; they may be cauterized after
wards with nitrate of silver. Second
Paint with nitrate ofsilver, one drachm
to one ounce of water. Third-Paint
with tincture of iodine twice day in
the early stage. Fourth-Smear the face
constantly with sweet oil. Fifth-Apply
constantly ointment of subnitrate of bis
muth, prepared chalk, calamine or sui
pher Sixth-Apply mercrrial ointment
diluted or mixed with wax. Seventh
Apply earbolic acid or creosote, rubbed
up with some Of the ointments. Eigth
Cover the face with flaxseed poultice.
Ninth-Apply colIedian once or twice
daily. Tenth-Apply a solution of eutts
percha in chioreform. Light is supposed
to increase the pitting, and fer this rea-
son all applications which exclude il
may prove useful. They should be made
early in the popular stage, and eontin-
ued, for the most part, till the pestules
dry. In general, the face alone, or the
face, hands and arms, are treated.

Talking too Much.

Conversation is sometimes so directed
to technieallities that if the words re-
peated are really the words of the lady,

the contempt of any true gentleman,

with unblushing efrontsTy, half as
centemptible as person who tells the

Prep.r.,.en Of " aitswash,

articles in the world when properly ap-
piled. 1t not only prevents the decay
of wood, but conduces greatly. to the
healthiness of buildings, whether OF

when not painted, should be supplied
once or twice every year With q good
coat of whitewash, which should be pre-
pared in the following way Take a

to cover it Ave inches deep, and stir Il

Stacking has been thoroughly effected,
dissel We it in water and add two pounds
of sulphate of zinc and one of common
salt; these will cause the wash to hard
en-, and prevent it's cracking, which
gives an unseemly appearance to the
work. If desirable beautiful cream

both in appearance and durability to

SIX every case where work is to be
done, let the whole power OF allengaged
be brought TO bear 10 this end-tO get
men to do it. Here is the difficult
ty of difficulties. You can get gold by
subscription; tut a man of real power,
of piety, faculty, energy, cannot be sub
scribed for. IL is by the eye cleared and
sharpened by long experience he can be
recognized; it is by the sagacious, pow
erful man, that the man of power is
known: imbecility, seated on a noun
tain of gold, can de nothing here. And
yet, till you get your men, nothing is
done; if you give your gold to bad or
incompetent men, it were better that
you flung it into the Thames. 1t must
be fixed as an axiom in the heart of every
philanthropistt and philanthropic So
ciety, that this is the poiIt of absolute
success or absolute failure; it must be
fairly comprehended, that it cannot be
attained by mere examining of reports
or any other mechanical process, al
though, indeed, each of these may con-
tribute its aid; only, never for a moment
is it TO be forgotten that it must be done.
Perhaps the great secret of getting at a
practical test and assurance in this mat
ter, lies in the discovery of some readily
applicable method of ascertaining the
real effects of a mans work in the sphere
to which you appoint him. Offices
might never be at first given for a per-
manence;; by a continual casting away
of the incompetent, the truly competent
might gradually be found. We suspect
this were the only infallibie method
We are not blind to its difficulties, but
Iany difficulties must be encountered in
the only " ay of life, and for the advance
tof a death the more CHASTITY for its affec-
ftation of lile.' If all the men employed
10y philanthropy, in its unnumbered
schemes of instruction, were godly, earn
est, and able men, W hat power for good
| were then acting in our country and tc
the ends of the earth!"

Tn. NH Minister and tn. Fiddler.

Half a century ago, or less the some
what facetious DR.. Pond dwelt in the
quiet out-of-the-way village of A., III
the State of Steady Habits. The Doc
tors ideas were reiiberal-much more than
any of his congregation nevertheless,
he kept on the even tenor of his way,
and disregarded the prejudices of some
| of his people. He had son named
Enech, who at an earl age, manifested
a remarkable talent for music, which
the father cherished and cultivated with
care. In the same village resided an
antiquated maiden lady, who having nc
cares of her own TO occupy her time and
attention, magnanimously devoted her
self to those of her neighbors. One
morning she called at the Doctors and
the room where she was seated, he per-
ceived at a glance that something was
amiss, and before he had time to extend
to her the. usual "how dye do?' she
added:

your age and profession might have had
something better TO do, when YOU were
in New. London last week, than to buy

sPhilosophicai Plan.

* hiiorOphtckaf Ian.
In this seminary We have been led 10 adopt
the PhilOsophic plan of eacn Professor anu his
class devotlng their whole time and energies to
8 single study, until completed. We have been
led TO TINS Dy seeing SO many students
disheartened, or rendered superficial, by being
required 10 carry forward three or four studies
at the same time Then each Professor was
qulred TO hear so many recltatlons and the time
was so broken up tnat IL was out OF The question
TO give each subject and each pupil the required
attention. In Introducing this method We ex-
pected 10 be able 10 make our classes much more
thorough and practical, but not only are we
succeeding beyond our expectations In this par
ticular, but we are accomplishing great deal
more In the same time, us We'll as doing II much
better. In graduating, one-third OF SiIe time
and expense is saved, matter of great CONSIDER
alton to every one. After thoroughly mastering
Scientific Course in tive, instead of three years,
as heretofore required; .devotins three months
to Algebra, two to Geometry, and two to Chem
istry, and one month each to all the other stud
les Our course is full and practical, and ths
time allotted to each study enable US 10 do vast
iy more with it than is usually done. We ex-
plain this on the principle, that men show the
greatest results in a given time, when they de-
vote their whole energies TO one thing. 1t has
been claimed that students deyoting their W hole
time to one study would become weary, but we
lind instead of this being true that the student
having an opportunity to concentrate his whole
energies upon one subject, succeeds, and as 8
result OF his success, an enthusiasm is awaken
ed, before unknown in schools the student be-
comes genuine Philosopher in search OF TRUTH
New Studies are commenced monthly, at which
time students can enter and remain as long as
desired Classes for Fall and early Winter, will
be formed September 18th, October 18th, and
November 9Th. A class will commence Algebra,
November 9Th, and go regularly through with
Mathematics By our plan We propose To make
this more thorough class than any ever con-
Quoted on the old system. Those wishing TO
enter il, would do well TO engage rooms soon.-
The department of Music and Painting, are
now Offering the very best advantages. -a-
The Ladies' Ornamental Course is short, but the
most practical and useful. All is left out that
will not be practiced in woman's appropriate
sphere And they are made SO thorough, and
such a love OF science is induced that they will
carry 1t into and adorn every department oflife;
and not is too frequently DONE lay it all aside
as soon as they graduate.
