Confidence.

Yesterday couple of chaps, going
east on the express, made the acqusin-
tance of a gentleman from Utica, We
mango county, before reaching this
point. They explained to him their
business, telling him they were mer-
chants, dong business in this city un-
der the firm name of Moreton Tick &
Co., and wished the Ole gentleman to
lend them some money on check
He finally gave them eleven dollars,
for which he was allowed to hold a
check for eight hundred dollars. They
monopolized his time until the train
left, when they got off safely The
Utica man began to see clearly by this
time, and Notified Chief Boyd, but the
sum was not deemed sufficient to look
after, and be just left his check for
Mr.. Boyd to Study.-Meadpiiie RePub

Thirst Quenched Without Drinking

1t may not be generally known to
our readers that water, even salt water,
imbibed through the skin appeases
thirst almost as well as fresh water
taken inwardly. In illustration of
this subject, a correspondent has sent
us the following abridged quotation
from Narrative of Captain Kenne-
dy's losing his Vessel and his Distresses
afterwards" which was noticed in
"Dodsley's Annual Register for 1862
Il cannot conclude without making
mention Of the great advantage | re-
ceived fran soaking my clothes twice
a day in salt water, and putting them
on without wringing. 1t was consid.
erable time before | could make the
people comply with this measure, al
though from seeing the good effects
produced, they afterwards practiced it
twice Il day ON their own accord. To
this dicovery | may with justice altri-
butte the preservation Of my own life
and six other persons, who must have
persisted if it had not been put in use,

me from the perusal of treatise writ
ten by DR.. Lind. The water absorbed
through the pores of the skin produced
in every respect the same effect as
would have resulted from the nader.
ate drinking of any kind OF liquid.
The saline particles, however, which
remained in our clothes became in
crusted by the heat of the sun and that
of our own bodies, lacerating our
skins and being otherwise inconyen-
lent; but we found that by washing
out these particles, and frequently wet
ting our clothes without wringing twice
in the course of day, the skin be-
came we'll in short time. After these
operations we uniformly found that
the violent drought went off, and the
parched tongue was cured in few
minutes after bathing and washing our
clothes and at the same time We
found ourselves as much refreshed as
if we had received some actual nour-
ishment. -Four persons in the boat
who drank salt water went delirious
and died but tnose who avoided this
and followed the above practice exper-
fenced no such symptoms"

The Home Paper.

One Of our city exchanges makes
the following truthful observation con-
cerning local papers, and the duty OF
giving them wholesome support;
The local paper is an absolute neces-
sity to the county and community
where it is published. All the city
papers cannot supply the first love Of
every man or woman, for with the pa
per is the locality identified. The pa
per gives the county aud town, where
printed, much Of their Importance in
the world, and gives in detail the local
news, which cannot be gained by
anv other source. Eyery-day's issue
of the paper is so much local history,
and the rise, growth and development
of the town and county can be meas
ured and recorded only by the local
newspaper that constantly is gathering
its items. People do not properly APP
preciate their house newspaper. They
measure the value Of Il paper too
much by the number of colu nus 1t
contains. The home paper at any price
is the cheapest paper one can take, Tor
in it is found matter that cannot he
had from any other source. Another
thing To be taken into consideration.
Every county has one or more newspa-
pers. Hence, the circulation Of each
paper must be limited. There is, there
fore, the greatest need of activity and
interest ON the part Of the people, to
give their own paper good vigorous
and substantial support

Harmony Of Colors

Many ladies with small fortunes law
ished ON their dress, lock dowdy ana
and gawky; while others, with only a
scanty purse to fall back upon, out
shine them in every particular, be-
cause the harmony Of colors was stud
led in the latter case, aud disregarded
in the former. Women should study,
individually, the colors that are most
becoming to them, The real secret of
success in dress is to wear those colGrs
which hormonize with the hair, eyes,
complexion, and general appearance.
1t is not so much thv style or texture
of a garment, as the colors. If only
our American ladies would be more
independent and select for themselves
whatever is most becoming, without
regard for what IS worn abroad, they
would soon establish for themselves a
reputation for taste in dress, which can
never he attained by blindly following
the fashion set for them by the DANES
of the Continent

A Cure for Catarrh.

Take one part finely pulverized salt
petre, and mix with two parts white
sugar reduced to -four. This is an eff
fectual remeday in all stoppages of the
head, catarrh, etc. 1t must be snuiied
up the nose dozen times or more a
day, according to the severity of the
affection. Persons frequently die from
catarrh in the head, the disease becom
ing so bad that the mucus, instead of
discharging through the nose, as It
should do falls down the throat and
lodges on the lungs, producing many
a sore throat, the cause Of which is
not suspected, and terminating fatally,
in many instances, in that most dread
ed Of all diseases, consumption.

Sincerity.

Give me sincere friends, or none. This
hollow glitter of smiles and words
compliments that mean nothing--pro-
testation of affection as solid as The
froth upon champagne-invltations
that are but pretty sentences, uttered
because such things are customary
are worthless to me. There is no need
of them. 1t is proper to be civil and
courteous to the most Indifferent stran.
ger; but why assume friendships out
ward show when no reality underlies
it? en- one feels friendship, the OBJ
iect lat sentiment cannot suffer,
and le..e our hearts untroubled-can,
not be slandered, leaving us unharmed.
To see our friend successful even be-
yond our own powers Of success, is a
great JOY to us; to hear that friend ap-
plauded is a pleasure. Yet, every day
men who fancy themselves friends,
show mean envy of each others lucky
hits; and women, who kiss on both
cheeks when they meet, will whisper
treacherous little stories of each other
yes, and whisper them to men. SO
that, when msot women say to me,
1--WE were talking of you just now!"
l wonder only-for one is not sincere
enough to say it out-whether it has
been possible to squeeze one drop Of
scandal into the humdrum story of my
life; or, failing that, bow many times
they have been multiplying my age
by ten, to prove me older than / con-
fess myself to be. But it is not sin
cere to praise everybody. 1t sounds
amiable; but men cannot all be
charming" and women all $50 sweet"
| like to know from the speech Of a
man or woman that this one is friend;
that, mere acquaintance. | think
warm hearted people are never gener-
al admirers. All cannot be loved sin
cerely; all cannot be really even
pleasant. Constant laudation of eve-
ry body may be a pleasant form of in
sincerity, but it is insincerity, after all
for me. If heaven will help me, | will
be sincere. | will not abuse my init
mate friends when their backs are turn

nor give men loving looks and loving
smiles when | do not like them. And
as | do unto others, may they do unto
me, for | deserve no better.-Er.

Mark Twain has this advice for

"Write without pay until somebody

complished young ladies Of the town.
Ifhe asks about the school, be will
be told. "This is Stonewall Jackson's

The facts are that this colored Sun
day school was organized by Stone
