facts are made public: On the Esd Of Oc-
tober 1869, Levi NJ. Philips, civil engineer,
residing in Harlem, was suffering from OBJ
stiuate and severe bilious affection, accom-
panied by great bodily weak ness and utter loss

ment." We give the result, as related by Mr.

Keeping Promises

4 PRUDENT man will avoid promises as
long as nc can, for they are troublesome
affairs; but when made, they ought to be
kept. The requirements of business how
ever constantly exact appointments, en-
gayements, and other similar pledges,
which il is not an easy matter TO avoid.
These should be sternly charged on the
memory, and faithfully observed. There
is no better habit that young man can
learn, and one thai will prove more ad
vantsgeous to him in life, than that of dill
igently doing al that he promises. Ii it
is an appointment TO be at certain place
at halt-past ten, let him be there prompt
ly st the hour If the other party fails to
meet him, it is that other psrty's fault !;
he will have done his duty, and establish
ed his claim to punctuality. If it is an
engagement TO d. certain labor, let him
do il, even at some cost; it will prove
that he can be depended on and relia-
bility is o sterling virtue in young or cid.
OF all promises in the world, those to pay
money are the easiest made, and hard
est to keep, and this is why the commod-
ity called mercantile credit ia SO rare and
so valuable an article. Men promise to
pay a debt on. certain day without
knowing whether they can do it or not,
merely TO get rid of the collector, and
they repeat the appointments again and
again, till their reputation as unreliable
debtors and violators of pledges becomes
established among all who deal with
them. TO say that man has no credit Ia
merely 10 say that he has no regard for
mis- promises; he can not be relied on in
any emergency in which fidelity and
punctual,y are needed.

with hiIn-how blessed father was to hea
his lessons well recited-and nowi Oh
nobody who has not dropped from
such q height of happiness DOM
to that dreadful "now" can tell how
bruised the poor heart may be by the fall |
God help little Jenny and all like him,
who have sorrows all the greater that
they must bear the burden alone; that
they ere unspeakoUe sorrows, save to Him
who viii never taunt US with their heavy
burden, or turn to us a careless ear.
You may be sure that when Jenny
grew up he never drank. Long before
the beard grew on his soft, white chin,
his fathers bloated face was hidden under
a tombstone; and when, in after years,
young men Of his own age locked arms,
or clapping each other on the shoulder,
as they passed some gilded saloon, said to
one another and to him, "Come in and
take drink" you may be sure that the
smile died away on Jemmy's face, and he
saw-not the bright lights in the saloon
window, nor the gay, laughing throng in
'ide-but instead, form crouching like
beast st his feet, dirt-besmesred, with
oloodshot eyes-creeping, crawling, like
loathsome reptile, who has no soul to
'ave-for whom there is no Heaven, no
glorious future after death-nothing but
humiliation. All, no; Jenny could not
take drink his very soul sickened

A Century Of the Thermometer.

Records Of temperature have been kept
in Yale College for about century, and
a comparison of the weather during the
past summer with the year preceding,
shows this to have been the hottest sea-
son in ninety-twO years. The sun spot
philosophers, who predicted an unusually
cold season, made the same mistake some
other prophets have fallen into-that Of
making the prediction before the event.
They should have waited, and made it
run backward The season, remarkable
for its heat, has also been noted one for
the extent of its droughts. They have
prevailed in nearly corresponding lati
tudes entirely round the globe, In the
northern hemisphere In the Northwest,
States, generally, rains prevailed up to
about the first of June, sufficient to start
the crops, but long strips Of country re-
ceived little moisture during the entire
spring. After that time, q very general
drought spread over all the States, which
prevailed for many weeks, and greatly
damsged the crops. The same report
aleo came from all Northern Europe and
Asia. France suffered more severely
than any other section in Europe, while
in some Of the provinces OF China q great
famine was predicted. At later period
rains have fallen literally on the whole
dr0ught.stricken districts, so that the
danger of scarcity of food for man and
beast has been greatly lessened or entire
ly removed. On this continent, the rain
bearing air currents come from the south
west, while in Europe generally this cur
rent is reversed, and comes from the north
west. Whatever may be the cause of
drought it operated over vast region,
and, in its extent, is without any prece-
dent known TO us-Chicago Republican.

The first printed book was COPY of
the Bible, containing 1882 pages, in two
volumes. Of the eighteen copies now
known, four are on parchment. Two of
these are in England Zone in the Gren-
vile collection), one is in the Royal Lii
brary at Berlin, and one in Paris. OF the
fourteen remaining specimens, ten are in
England, three in the libraries of Oxford,
Edinburgh, and London. A parchment
copy is worth 81 500 in gold.
The judgment of Solomon has it's
parallel in Chinese records, as it
has in those of most eastern ma
tons, though the version differs
Two women in similar manner claim
the same infant, and refer their dispute to
magistrate, who is, of course, unable to
decide upon the ownership. To solve
the difficulty, he says that he shall keep
the child himself, at which the real moth
er is overjoyed and the false claimant,
who only wanted to sell it at some future
date, is disguised. The latter, thus be-
traying herself, gets the due punishment
of her intended fraud, and the child is
finally returned to the mother with pres
ent of money exacted from her rival to con-
sole her for the less brilliant career open
to her son in his own home than as the
adopted child of q powerful official.

A Skuihing Soldier Cured.

= L REMEMBER the apparently painful
condition of soldier whose right les was
drawn up at an angle from the knee-the
result of rheumatism, he insisted. He was
known to be skulker, and several sur.
geOns had examined the limb and found
no appearance of contraction of the mus
cles; but all their efforts to pull it into
shape were useless. Some of them became
convinced by the stubbOrnness of the
member, insisted thSt it could not be
flexed, and advised the mans discharge.
DR.. H., however, had seen much OF the
same difficulty in hospitals. and put In
practice n mode of treatment which he
had seen successfully tried in several
cases. The man, by his dire ction, was
brought over to the division hospital and
confronted with the surgeon and two as
sistants with their sleeves rolled up.
L understand perfectly well the nature
of your difficulty, my man." said the doc
tor. at is species of scia.ica, and | can
cure it by cauterization."
"What's that ?" the victim asked in dis
trustfUl wonder.
Cauterizstiong Oh, that's merely
burning to blister, from the hip to the
heel, with white hot iron. It's sure

"I-I don't want to-" the shirk STAN
mered, his face turning whittier than the
doctors irons and his teeth chattering
4" You shan't do it; it won't do me Bit
Of good"
"Mount that table or I'll have you tied
to 1t, ;" was the stern command, and the
poor wretch obeyed with groan, not ye,
quite certain that this extreme measure
was really to be resorted to.
"Strip that leg Steward, bring in those

They came Kissing hot from the fire
and the miserable creature on the table
shrleked: Doctor, doctor! you aims
a-going to burn me with those things, be
you"
Il am tbat-from hip to heel" replied
the doctor, coolly, taking one OF the ugly
instruments in his hand and approaching
the table.
"You shan't do it Let gol my legs
well, tell you T. the man screamed; and
tearing away from those who held him, he
jumped nimbly to the floor and ran out oil
the hospital with two as straight legs as
there were in the whole army. He re-
turned to- duty the next day, and was eff
fectually cured of his mslingering pro
pensities.--LippincOtts Magazine.

approached. From distance they eyed
