Among the hard eases developed
by the fire, is the following: An aged
gentleman-toO old to begin life again
yesterday called on a member of
the legal fraternity for advice. The
savings Of lifetime, of nearly three
score years Of untiring effort had been
invested in United States bonds
amounted to between 5000 and
S6O,OOO. His wife Lad always taken
care of the precious documents. To
provide against accidents she had
been the habit oil keeping them in
large stone jar, sunk below the cellar
floor and covered with sand. About
a year and half ago his wife died
leaving him alone. Subsequent to
her death the old gentleman, as a
more business-like manner of doing
things, took up the jar and had the
bonds transferred tH z safe. A day or
two since the safe was taken from the
debris, and all that was left of the
SB0, 200, or thereabOuts, was some
biackened ashes. The bonds were
not registered, nor could the old gem
tleman remember the number of a
single bond, nor could he tell OF
whom or Of what bank they were
purchased. All that he could re-
member was that he lad made ample /
provision for his old age by life Of |
ample industry, and now ne was !
thrown upon the world alone aad not I
enough of the worlds goods left to I
buy himself a breakfast. The case
was a sad one, but only one of thou /
sands Of the same kind CHICAGO 1

Oceans are gone, as separation, and
only exist as communication, for q
wire has been thrown across and the
nations are connected. The whole
world receives the influence of all
that happens. These things are Just
beginning. The world is coming to-
gether and becoming 50 related to
common sympathetic centres that it
will soon be one. The whole globe
is coming into the actual condition of
one household. Where are mems
hearts and where are their eyes, that
they give away to doubt? What shall
we say of the Church? o, the poor
journey of the Church. The Church
has been anything but divine: it has
been human, intensely human, but
the Church has always testified of the
unity of the race. Sci
ence is Gods elect, not knowing yet
His full mission, destined yet to be
the regeneratOr of religion, and when
the old revelation written on the
rock is put alongside of the revelation
Of Christ Lesus, the two together will
be better than either alone. But,
though we may take all that helps,
We can't afford to give up our faith in
God. And at the last day that which
will stand highest will be self-saeri-
fee and love, as shown to US by the
example of God in Christ Jesus.

Novel treatment Of SmalI.Po1.

In a communication to the Kiltan-
ming Free Press, DR.. J. NJ. Taylor
/ cal Is attention to an article from the
/ pen of DR.. Landell, Md, of Porte
Algre, Brazil, published in the Aneri-
/ can Journal of Medical Science, of
date October, 1857, in which he adyo-
Gates the internal administration of
vaccine virus in the treatment of
smallpox. DR.. Taylor then proceeds:
Being impressed with the idea that
the treatment was rational. l deter
mined to give it trial the first oppOr-
tunity. On the 18th of December,
1853, l was called on to visit a child
near two years of age, laboring under
smallpox, the pOstules being first
observed by her parents on the 10th,
two days previous to my first visit.
l first gave a dose of calomel and
rhubarb sufficient to operate moder-
ately on her bowels then, after
obtaining the sanction of her parents,
l put one-quarter of goOd-sized crust
of vaccine virus into sixteen tea
spoOnfuls of water, and directed one
teaspOOnful to be given ever three
hours. On the 2lst, three days after
commencing the remedy, the pOstules
had shrivelled appearance, and on
the 24th, six days from my first visit, /
the pOstules were so completely abated |
that I considered my patient out of /
danger and quit visiting her. All
the medicine this child took in addi- /
tOn to the above was some mild |
laxative every second day when /
necessary. From the number of pos
tules on this child mot protected by
vaccination) l have no doubt she
would have been q serious if not a
fatal case under any other treatment.
Two years after treating the above
case l had an opportunity of examin-
ing her, and could not find a pit or
mark n her person.
Since the foregoing eass, similar
treatment, on three ierentOccasions,
has been attended with like sstisfae-
-Ory results. do not suppose anvil
uriOus effect would follow much larger
loses, and by observing the difference I
large and small doses in the
-apidity of recovery, would soon de-
ermine the quantity best adapted TO
ordinary cases. think the remedy
should be resOrted to as soon as
possible in the disease. One person
the Vaccine virus Dy
ny directions, assured me that where
he virus was given in the fever
'efore the. postules appeared they
lever developed.
The only preeautiOn necessary in
administering the vaccine virus is to
l2ve good article, to mix only so c
much at once as will last one OF two J
lays, and keep it in cool place, to |
'revent it from becoming putrid and !
ffensive.
Now is the time totest DIR. Landell's q
and have no doubt the /
erdict will place him as a benefaetor /

reat length already. 9

The United States "and New Jersey, ,,

The United States "aDd New Jersey.o
Probably few persons who are in
the habit of referring to New Jersey
as foreign country, understand the
origin of the illusion. The Newark
Courier gives it as follows:
After the downfall of the First Ma
poleOn, his brother Joseph, who had
been king of Spain, and his nephew,
prime Murat, son of the king of Italy,
sought refuge in this country,
Joseph BOnaparte wished to build a
palatial residence here, but did not
desire to become citizen, as he hoped
to return to Europe. To enable him
as an alien to hold real estate required
a special act of the Legislature. He
tried to get one passed for his benefit
in several of the States, but failed.
He was much chragrined, especially
because Pennsylvania refused. After
this he applied to the New Jersey
Legislature, which body granted him
and Murat the privilege of purchasing
land. They bought a tract at Bnr
dentOwn, and built magnificent dwell
ings, ami fitted them up in the most
costly manner. Rare paintings, stat
uary, ETC., were profuse and selected
with care, and the grounds laid out
with exquisite taste.
Joseph BOnaparte's residence was,
perhaps, the finest in America.
Thousands of people visited il from
all parts Of the country, and were al
ways treated courteously De was
profuse with his money, and gave q
great impetus to business in the little
town. The Philadelphians finding
that he had apparently no end OF
money, and that ne used it to benefit
business generally, regretted when it
was too late, that they had refused to
let him locate among themselves
and to keep vp their modification,
would always taunt Jerseymen with
having a king-with importing the
King of Spain to rule over them
they were called Spaniards and for
eigners on this account.

Cure for the Small P6x

A correspondent of the Stockton
] California; Herald speaks as follows
concerning the small pOx and its rem
edy:
Il herewith append a recipe which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. It will prevent
or cure the small pOx though the pit
tings are filling. When Jenner dis
covered COW pOx in England, the
wOTli Of science hurled an avalanche
of fame upon his head but when the
most scientific school of medicine in
the wOrld-that of Paris-published
this receipt as a panacea for small
pox, 1t passed unheeded; it is as un-
falling as fate and cOnquers in every
instance. ltis harmless when taken
by well person. 1t will also cure
scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as 1
have used it, and cured my children
of scarlet fever: here it is as / have
used it to cure the small pox; when
learned physicians said he must die.
II cured; Sulphate of zinc, one grain:
fox glove (digitalisl, one grain; half
a teaspoohful Of sugar; mix with two
Of water. When thor
oughly mixed add four ounces of wa
ter. Take a spoonful every hour.
Either disease will disappear in twelve
hours. For ch!ld smaller doses, ac-
eording to age. If counties would
compel physicians to use this, there
would be no need of pest-hOuses. If
you value advice and experience. use !
MS for that terrible disease.

relate a singular circumstance to. the
editor of the Sentinel. The ditch leads
through marshy swamp, which has

drOuth, the team of horses mired 20
badly that in some instances they
had to dig and pry them out from
among the sunken bOgs where they
became entangled. In one place
while plOwing, and about q feet
below the surface, they came upon a
literal patch of huge mud turtles.
some of which were as large on the
back as the bottom Ofa windsor chair.

these tough customers, that they
Obstrueted the plOW, and threw it out
of the furrow the same as q stone or

from some distance as the best place
to go into winter quarters.

BE A MAN.

Foolish spending is the father Of
poverty. Do not be ashamed of work,
of hard work. Work for the best
wages, but work for half price rather
than be idle. Be your own master,
and do not let society or fashion swal-
low up your individuality-hat, coaJ
and boots. Do not eat up and wear
out all that you earn.-COmpel your
selfish body. to spare something for
profits saved. Be stingy to your own
appetite, but merciful to others ne
eessities. Help others, and ask no
help for yourself. See that you are
proud. Let your pride be of the right
kind. Be too proud TO be lazy TOO
proud to give up without eonqneTing
every difficulty too proud to wear
coat that you cannot afford to buy;
too proud 10 be in company that you
cannot keep up with in expenses
too proud too lie. or steal, or cheat;
too proud to be stingy.

THE CHRONICLE.
THE LITTLE PEOPLE.

[ From Whittier's Forthcoming Volume.I
A dreary place would be this earth,
Were there no little people in it;
The song Of life would lose its mirth,
W ere there no children to begin it;
No little forms, like buds TO grow,
And make the admiring heart surrender;
No little hands on breast and brow,
To keep the thrilling love chords tender.
The sterner souls would grow more stern,
Unfeeling nature more inhuman,
And man 10 stole GOODNESS turn,
And woman would be less than woman.
Life's song, indeed, would lose Its charm,
Were there no babies to begin it:
A dolelul place this world would be,
Were there no little people in it.
