Medical Hints.
BY AN NJ. d.

Without a good stomach it is impOs-
sible to attain a great age; yet it is the
best abused organ in the body.
Don't doctor for every little ailment.
If half the sensible people in the world
had common sense it would be better
for them.
A consumptive should not go South
to get cured. The colder the air the
purer it is, and pure air is what is
wanted.
The doctor who advises a young man
to take brandy twice day for bronchi-
tbs, will probably be guilty Of making
one OITIJlIhtdFd.
Soap and water is the 2st dentifrice
that can be used.
The habit of eating cloves, cachOus,
Jokes, trix, hunkidOTi, and all such
trash, is ruinOus to the stomach, and
will eventually produce dyspepsia.
Children should never put shop or
visiting cards in their mouths; the
glazing is poisonous.
Ripe, raw, fresh fruit is good, and
may be eaten with safety, but should
also be eaten in moderation.
Vinegar diluted with water, and
sweetened, makes a good drink in fe-
yer. Heated hot, the steam Of pure
vinegar is good for sore thrOats. 1t
should be inhaled from the mouth of
q teapot, or other similar vessel.
Fresh lard rubbed into the chest dali
ly, with the warm hand, is useful in
consumption.
Onions, well boiled, are useful ar
ticIe of food. They are stimulating
and act upon the secretions, and also
promote digestion. The juice of the
onion is recommended in drop Isy.-Ll-
UestigdtOrS.

Story of a HlghEayman.

Not many years ago, an Irishman
whose finances did not keep pace with
the demands made upon his pocket,
and whose soom of honest labor was
eminently unfaVOrable to their being
legitimately filled, borrowed an old
pistol one day, when poverty had driv-
en- him to extremity, aud took the
highway convenient, where he was
likely to find heavy purse.
A Jolly old farmer came jogging
along, and Pat put him down immedi-
ately as party who possessed those
requisites he so much stood in need of
himself. Presenting his pistol, he or
dered him to stand and deliver
The Door fellow fOrked over some fif-
ty dollars, but finding Pat somewhat Of
a greenhOrn, begged a five to take him
home, a distance of about half mile.
The request was complied with, accom-
panied with a most patrOniZing air.
Old Acres and ROods was a knowing
one. Eying the pistol, he asked Pat if
he would sell it.

working day IN the year, he will find,
| by calculation, that he has paid his bro
| ker nearly $1,000 in the form of COM
missions at the rate of ene-eighth per
cent. on each transaction. During q
tight money market he will have paid
a large additional sum in the shape of
turns or extra commissions, for carry
ing his stock, and if he is cornered
and unable to borrow stock for deIiVe-
ry, when short of it, he will have to
pay fresh commissions for the use of
stock.
During 1868, 1864, an active operator
using $40, 900 as aImargin, discovered on
perusing his accounts that he had paid
his broker $25, 900 i'm form of commits
siOns, and as his capital of $50, 900 was
still unimpaired, this showed that he
had made a profit of S25, ,000 all of
which had thus gone into his brokers'
till.
Another who So with $4,000,
and for four y 'ated heavily,
making and lOsiIl, reds of thouS-
ands, at the end time had less
than $500 left Out~6f ms original capi-
tai, but estimated the interest and COM
missions he had paid his brokers at the
large sum of $75, 600, and these are on
ly two out of the hundreds of cases.
Nothing but great profits Will save
an operator from having his substance
eventually devOured in brokerage and
commission, and great profits won by
the Wall street trader, are the rare eX-
ceptiOnS. There are two remedies for
this which are certain and speedy.
First, never speculate. Second, if you
must speculate, only buy what you can
pay for and hold. These remedies natu-
rally came to me January Ist, 1859,
and as the first of the year is the time
generally selected to adopt good resO-
lutiOns, I resolved that whereas Wall
street was a delusiOn and
would thereafter cease from spC
ton.

MARRIED LIFE.

I twisted round each glossy curl,
/ Knocked him with my Saucy eyes;
''Iim not a woman, but girl
I'd rather far be fair than wise ~
''Time is so pitiless, - he said;
tShall time be pitileSS in Yatn? -?
When youth is fled and beauty dead,
What will remain what will re-
man ?"
Laughing, 1 cried, "Ah! see the fOal--

The kitten-little merry soul
Forever plays; forever Will.

As you can wish, I'm sure;
She sits all day upon the mat.
And ncks her paws and looks demure.
o let me while I'm young, be gay,
Just to be happy never hurts;
When am old I'll sit all day,
And read your books and mend your

I let my golden hair run down,
And on the ground its beauty trail;
And as an answer to his frOwn,
Laughed at him through the shining

Win and Wear.

There's no royal road to greatness;
Men must ever climb to fame;
Allthe wealth in miser's Golfers
Wouldn't buy deathless name
Is noble goal before you?
Would you great achievements bearl
Brothers, then be up and doing!
Brothers, you must "Win and Wear."
Toll and labor-never stopping
Till you make the prize your own:
For you know it's constant dropping
Wears away the hardest stone.
Never slack ublime endeavor;
Nor mid cherries toll despair;
If you'd rise above your fellows,
Brothers. you must swim and Wear"
IT'S the lesson nature teaches
All throughout her wide domain;
And the text from which she breaches
Is "That labor leads TO gain.''
Moral worth and honest merit
Better crowns than monarchs bear
This you never can inherit
Brothers, you must swim and Wear"

"There is a mystery about this effect of

rain wetter than that of any other day

rain on week DAY will not keep him from
his usual business. We need Sabbath al
