LIES TW0-fOId Duties.

Are there not some people in the world
who do actually reason after the cool
manner of the philosopher who gives this
sage advice to friend ? Likely as not
"The duties of life are two-fold-our
duty to others and our duty to ourselves
Our duty to ourselves is to make our
selves as comfortable as possible; our
duty to others is to make them assist us
to the best of their ability in so doing.
This is the plan on which very respecta-
BILE persons act. Adhere strictly to truth
whenever there is no occasion for
lying BE particularly careful to con
ceal no circumstance likely to rebound
to your credit. IF 1t be for your inter
est to lie, do so, and do it boldly. No
one would wear false hair who had hair
of his own but he'who has none must
wear wig. A wig, you see, my young
friend, is simply n lie with hair on it,
| don't sec any difference between false
hair and false assertion. 1t is like coat
or n pair of breeches it serves to clothe
the naked. But don't throw your fab
relations away. | like proper economy.
Some silly persons would have Won in
variably to speak the truth Now if You
were to act IN tins way, in what depart
ment of commerce could you succeed :?
How could You get on in the law, for
instance What vagabond would ever
employ You to defend his cause What
practice do you think You would be like
ly to procure as a physician, if you
were to tell every old woman who fan
cied herself i'll. that there was nothing
the matter with her?

4 Plague of Darkness Coming.

A very disagreeable prophecy is quot
ed 10y the Journal de BruXeles The
prophecy is attributed to the venerable
Anna Maria Taigi, and is to the effect
that two great chastisements may be eX-
pected-the one from heaven the other
from earth. The latter, which will con
sist in wars, revolutions and other cal
antilles, being terminated, that from
heaven will succeed, and is explained as
follows -" Great darkness is to prevail
over the whole land during three days
and three nights. 1t will ho so thick
that absolutely nothing will be visible,
and will be accompanied by pestilence
which will chiefly fall on the enemies of
religion. although the scourge will not
be confined exclusively to them. While
this darkness lasts, no light will shine,
no fire will have any brightness, and
only those who have blessed things (can-
desc will be able to see All this is
very horrible, and it is to be hoped that
the lady may be mistaken in her pred e.
tons, and that they may turn out to be
as erroneous as that of the great tidal
wave which was the other day to have
destroyed New Orleans. The prophecies,
however, gives full directions as to the
proper course to be pursued during this
reign of darkness and pestilence. PEG
pie are eXhorted to not endeavor to scan
the heavens curiously during the dark
ness, for whatsoever shall go and look ont
of II window, or leave his house for the
purpose of deserving what is passing in
the ornament, will be Immediately struck
down. The whole time that the iudg-
ment shall last ought to be employed in
prayer, and above all in reciting the
Holy Rosary. The director of Anna
Maria Taigl said, in August, 1864 - 1t
is most true that the venerable servant
of God announced the scourge of three
days darkness, extending over the whole
earth. While it, lasts the windows must
be kept closed.

Protection frnm Prisons.

At a recent meeting of the Boston So
ciety of Medical Sciences, as reported in
the NedicM and SWYicm JouHm, the
question was discussed of the protection
acquired by the human skin against the
action of certain animal poisons, after
repeated incubation, one gentleman
claiming that the frequent incubation of
some poisons gave gradual immunity
from any poisonous effects. He in
stanced the effects of mosquito-bites.

lead-foil wrappers, which are harmless

THE DAVENPORT TRICKS.
How their Dark WAYS were Exposed in Knox.

KnOGUiue Correspondent Chattanooga Times.
HoXie's Hall was filled TO overhowing. At
the proper time Mr.. Fay, one of the performers,
advanced to the front of the stage with paper
containing the names of the committee, and
requested them to come forward Messrs. Bell
and Lowery soon made way through the audi
ence and were greeted with tremendous ap-
plause as they bowed to the audience.
While closing the door Mr.. Bell was struck
on the shoulder with some unknown object but
Mr.. Lowery saw it and instantly went to Mr.
Bells side, and whispered to Mr.. Bell, who
began to go through the same motion. Out
came the object. Mr.. Lowery sprang like cat
and seized the hand, and wrenched it carefully
off, throwing it in the audience. Upon exami-
nation it was found to be paper masked hand,
as thin as writing paper, and fitting so closely
in the cabinet that 1t was impossible to observe

of the operators. Cheer upon cheer was given
for the committee. The brothers were raging
with madness, but constant calls from the audi
ence convinced them that they must either play
or pay, and accordingly the cabinet was thrown
aside and the dark seance was announced.
A table was brought forward and several
musical instruments laid upon it, q quantity of
phosphorus was rubbed on a guitar, and the
lights were eXtinguished. Presently sweet
chords came from the guitar, and the phos-
phorus was seen running here and there in the
air. ALL present were thunderstruck. They
might catch the cabinet trick, but the dark
scene was sumner While the supposed guitar
was swinging in the air, one of the audience.

dark lantern of immense power, which he in
stantly shot on the flying guitar. One of the
attaches of the show held pole, on the end of
which was nailed small piece of a flour barrel
heading.r The guitar was lying on the table in
the same position, only the phosphorus was not
on it. To describe the scene that followed
would be folly. We don't think the Brothers
will book this city on their next route.

SMALLPOX.
Spread Of the LoathsO me Dlseas

Spread Of the LOathsomo Disease In New York
Beyond shadow of doubt there is danger
of smallpox spreading in this and adjoining
cities. The ravages of this fearful disease have
been felt severely in Brooklyn. The origin of
the pestilence is traced to the extreme eastern
portion of Williamsburg. Here, owing to the
ignorance of the people and the attending ply
sicians, many deaths occurred before the health
authorities were notified, and in a short time
the disease broke out in a very Virulent form in
various parts of the city.
The clothing, bedding etc, of the patients are
in all cases burned. The Flatbush Hospital has
the largest number of cases. 1t is about four
miles from the Fulton Ferry, just beyond the
Brooklyn city line. There are accommodations
for one hundred and twenty patients. For ven
tilation, space sunlight, water, and other facil-
ties, it is well favored. There are various wards
in the building, which are allotted to various
kinds of infectious and contagious diseases.
That portion given to the smallpox patients
just now is by far the most crowded. There
are now sixty four cases. The physicians aver
/ that these patients have progressed much more
| favOrably than those treated in private houses
! probably because of the superior training of the
| nurses. In Hoboken several new cases have
been discovered, and four deaths have occurred
since Sunday.-M y. Commercial Advertiser,
