A TORPID SYsTEM.-Sometimes, with
out any aasignable cauee, the physical
strength and animal spirite give way, and a
strange torpor falls alike on the body and in
tellect. There is little or no pain perhaps,
but the natural vigor and elasticity Of the
nervous and muscular system seems to have
departed, and an indifference to the pleasures
OF HE, and even of it's grave responsibilities,
taxes tho place OF that earnest interest in both
which characterlzes every we'll balanced mind

This state OF partial collapse is often tho
premonitoiy symptoms of some serious ma

powers are languishing and need stimulant.
In such cases the effect of a few doses Of HOS.

fully beneficial. The great tonic wakes I'D
the system from its browse. The secretions
and the circulation receive new impetus.
The relaxed nerves rerover their elasticity
under tho operations of the specific like tho
slackened strength Of a musical instrument in
the process OF tuning. Lethargy and debi-
llty are replaced by energy and yieor. the
spirits rise, and life that almost seemed a
burden while the season of depression lasted
becomes onco moro enjoyable. That such a
radlca! change should be produced by a reme-
dy entirely devoid of the powerful alkaIods

practice, may seem Incredible to those who
pin their faith on the medicinal efficacy of

There was. q stormy session in the

on the Franco-English commercial
treaty. Theirs, in speech, demanded
the renunciation Of this treaty, and re-
preached the majority, asserting that
they did not truly represent the country,
or they: would overthrow O ministry
having principles the country had repu-
GATED. Great agitation ensued. Ex-
Minister FORBADE replied that the majori-
ty upheld the Cabinet. It was not
understood why Theirs opposed the
ministry and FORBADE upheld it, but it
was supposed Theirs wished it to result
IN o vote that would force Daru, Luovet

replaced by members of the majority.

Now, in the winter season, Is the time
for the farmer to prepare his fire-wood for
the year. Wood cut in winter makes
much better fuel than that cut when the
tree is growing and the pores filed with
sap. Many persons have noticed that
some wood rather stews away than burns
clearly. Such fuel, generally, was cut in
the summer, or during the warmer part
Of the year. The winter, also, is time
of more leisure to tho farmers than most
other seasons of the year. There is more
cheerfulness in the appearance Of a clear
burning fire than the smoldcring combus-
ton Of wood though dry, that was cut in
summer. Some kinds of hard wood, how
ever, will burn well Mt whatever season ii
may have been cut, rs hickory, and the
close-graincd oaks on high, dry ridges,
whore the soil is not rich and the growth
is slow, and these will burn well when
green; but fires are not so easily made
with green wood. norso easily maintained,
unless large fro is kept. The writer has
for many years past habitually, knowing
the above facts, had his annual supplies of
wood cut and piled in the woods in the
winter. The dry winds in March soon
season it. The piles should be ranged
north and south, so that the sun can shine
on the ends Of the wood and the winds
pass more freely through the interstices.

About Boils.

As these, sometimes called "Job's COM
forters,n are said to be somewhat preva-
lent Mt this time, any Of our readers thus
afflicted may probably appreciate the fol-
lowing short treatise" from an ex-
change: "A boil is generally very small
at first, and fellow hardly notices it; but
in 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 appear mys-
teriously upon various portions of the hu-
man body, coming when and where ''they
darn please" and often In very inconve-
nient places. Sometimes n solitary
boil is the sum total of the afflic-
ton. but frequently there Is rub
bishin" lot of 'cm, to help the first one.
If boil comes anywhere on a person,
that person always wishes II had come
somewhere else, although 1t would puzzle
him to say Just where. Some persons call
them .damboils," but such persons are
addicted to profanity-the proper name is
boil. If chap has boil he generally
gets good deal Of sympathy from others
lin n horn Whoever asks him what
ails him laughs at him for his pains to
answer, while unfceling persons make
game of him, or Of his misfortune, or boil.
1t is very wicked to make sport of per-
sons with boils: they cannot help il, and
often feel very badly about it. Physicians
don't give boil-patients much satisfaction
rs q general thing, although young ply
sicians who arc just beginning to practice
are fond Of trying their lancets on them.
Boils are said TO be "healthy," and judg-
ing from the way they take hold. and
hang on, and ache, and burn, and grow,
and raise Cain generally, there is no doubt
that they are healthy and have good con-
stitutions. They are generally very live
ly and playful Mt night, and 1t is very fun
ny to see chap with good large one
prospecting around his couch for q place
where his boil will fit in without hurt
inr.'n

A Tough Irishman.

In Cincinnati, on Christmas eve, one
Jerry Hogan was found lying in the street
gutter with knife buried to the hilt in
his LEFT temple. He was unable to speak,
and was thought to be dying. Restora-
tivcs revived him, and he was taken to
the hospital. While the surgeons were
preparing to extract the knife he kept
opening and shutting the part which stuck
out of his head, remarking as he did so,
al jist want TO sec how ii feels. 1t don't
hurt bit, but seems like i had two heads.
Well, an Irishman is hard to kill. We're
q tough set. Life sticks to us mighty
close" When the surgeons got ready for
work and found Il impossible TO extract
the blade by hand, they laid the man on
couch upon the floor. and with the left side
Of his head uppermost. Three men with
might and main held his head down, while
one of the doctors brought in pair Of
pipe tongs which gave sort of augur-
handle for the two surgeons to pull by.
All things being ready the two soldiers
took hold each with both hands, and tug
ging steadily with all their power against
three pairs of hands holding the head
down, the knife came out with jerk,
thanks to rivet of good true steel. Ho-
gan bore ii without hinching, exclaiming
