A FREAK OF FoRTUNE.

Samuel Duhobret was a desciple
of the famous engraver, Albert Du-
rer, admitted into the art-school out
of charity. He was employed in
painting signs and the course tapes
try then used in Germany. AS he
was about forty years Of age, small,
ugly and humpbacked, he. was the
butt of ill jokes among his fellow
pupils, and selected as a special OBJ
iect of dislike by Madame Durer,
who tormented the scholars and do
mestics as well as her master, by her
Xantippical temper. Poor DuhO-
bret had not a spice of malice in his
heart, and not only bore all his tri-
ais with patience, eating withoutcom-
plant the scanty crusts given him
for dinner, while his companions
Jared better, but always avowcd him
self ready to assist those vino scoffed
at him. His industry was indefatig-
able. He came to his studies every
morning before day-break, he plod-
ded, and said nothing Of the paint
ling he had produced in his lonely
chamber by the light of his lamp.
His bodily energies wasted under
incessant toll. No one cared enough
for him to notice the feverish color
in his wrinkled cheek, or the increas-
ling meagreness Of his mishappen
frame. No one observed that the
Ipoor pittance set aside for his mid
lday meal remained untouched for
several days. The poor artist made
his appearance as usual, and as
meekly bore the gibes of his stu
dents or the taunts of the, lady;
working with the same untiring as
Isiduity, though his hands trembled
and his eyes were sufused with tears.
One morning he was missing from
the scene Of his labors, and, though
Iiokes were passed about his appear
lance, none thought Of going to his
lodgings to see ifhe were ill or dead.
He was indeed prostrated by the low
fever that had been lurking in his
being and sapping his strength. He
was half delirious and muttered in
coherent words, fancying his bed
surrounded by mocking demons,
taunting him with his inability to
call priest to administer the words
of comfort that might smooth his
passage to another world.
From exhausted slumbers he
awoke faint and with parched lips;
! it was the fifth day he had lain in
his cell alone Feebly he stretched
out his hands toward the earthen
nitcber and found th9t it contained
not a drop Of water. Slowly and
with difficulty he arose; for he knew
that he must procure sustenance OF
die of want. He had not kreutz-
er. He went to the other end of the
room. took up the picture he had
painted last, and resolved to carry il
TO a dealer, who might give him fol
it enough to furnish him necessarief
for week longer.
On his way he passed house be
fore which there was a great crowd

Charcoal asa General Remadv.

Our rule has always been to give
nothing, unless we know exactly
what to do; and in the meantime
attend to every exterior comfort
practicable. If the weather is cold.
place it in warm quarters, avoid all
exposure, and attend to pure air and
strict cleanliness. But there is one
medicine that can never do harm,
and is commonly, beneficial; this is
pulverized charcoal AS We have
just remarked, nearly all sick ami
mails become so from improper eat
ing, in the first place. In nine cases
out of ten the digestion Is wrong.
Charcoal is the most efficient and
rapid corrective. 1t will cure in a
majority Of cases, if promptly ad-
ministered. An example Of its use
the hired man came in with intel
Ilgenee that one of the finest COWS
was very sick, and kind neighbor
proposed the usual drugs and pois-
ons. The owner being i'll and una
bic to examine the cow. concluded
that the trouble came from some
over-eating, and ordered a tea-cup
of pulverized charcoal given in wa
ter. 1t was mixed, placed in a junk
bottle, the head held upward, and
the water with its charcoal poured
downward. In five minutes an i'm
proVement IVES visible, and in S few
hours the animal was in the pas
ture quietly eating grass. Another
instance Of equal success occurred
with young heifer which became
badly bloated by eating green ap-
pies after a hard wind. The bloat
was so severe that the sides were al
most as hard as 8 barrel. The old
remedy, saleratus, was tried for the
purpose of correcting the acidity.
But the attempt to put it down al
ways caused coughing, and it did
little good. Halt a teacupful of
fresh powdered charcoal was next
given. In six hours all appearance
Of bloat had gone, and the heifer
was well.-COuatry Gentleman.

AN ABSURD DIFTY.

''That palter with US in double sense"
-iShakspsGre
The river flowed laziIy on and on,
The boatmans labor was oar;
But the farmers boy was still at work,
For the farmer was no mower
The farmer he used to drink in his day,
And he kept himself all the time fool;
But the boy knew liquor would fly to his heat
And wisely he kept his cool.
The farmer he liked nothing better than drink,
His drinking it would be ge gin
At early dawn-while at dewy eve
He would freely indulge in his inn.
He would leave his boys to see to the work,
And two of them went to sea
And never came back, and thus compelled
Their brother to busy be.
The boy understood the bad place he was in
The place who can know-hotelH
But he kept up his courage and bought hin
some hives,
And his bees brought honey to cell.
He sold his honey all out by the pound,
But was not very stiff in his weigh,
Except when it came to cutting his grass
When he always would have his hay.
He'd go back from market in cheerful mood,
To enjoy the sweet, sweet hum
9th busy bees, which kept at work,
Though little he cares for 'um-
He cares notfor rum; he's temperate man,
But he cannot give up his swine;
He likes good porl-but not from hedge-hogs,
IT'S not for such pork you pine.
He had lots of fat cattle, which beloved quite
loud,
And of course they were all them herd,
And he made large profit from getting up
cheese,
For which small expense was in curd
Although his horse has never yet laughed,
He can easily do his mile;
But still the young master rarely rides,
For his saddles not good nor his tile.
What he knows about farming, he's quite
proud to tell,
For his crops have been never yet beet,
And his beans and potatoes are all OF the best,
Though his white corn don't equal his wheat
He keeps in his kitchen the very best cooks,
For there all the good things are maid,
And the dinners are sure to be always we'll
dressed,
When served up by persons so stayed,
He liked good meat in his house to eat,
And if he should miss steak,
He would be in great pain until all was ex-
planned,
Or something was done for his ache.
He'd eat like glutton of tarrapin soup,
OF chickens and oysters too,
And then he would pull at his pipes or cigars
Till the smoke up the chimney few.
He likes in summer a plenty of air
For his comfort he's often intent,
But so selfish is he if one asks for relief
He never will give assent.
Sometimes in hammock he'd lie and enjoy
A little son and heir,
And would make his plans for roast next day,
When he hoped that the wether'd be fare.
Now time rolled on and he grew very old
Though his laugh was almost as high
And when his back hair began to turn gray,
He then was prepared to dye.
And now he has gone to his long, long home,
His many great faults who may write?
But, we think that his virtues will be kept in
mind,
And we all know the qoido'0's might.

Bronchitis.

This is an irritation or Inflammation of
the bronchial tubes, which carry the air we
breathe into tho lungs. It arises from a
cold settled in the throat, from Catarrh ex-
tending to those parts, from scrofulous
affections, and from severe use of the voice.
The irritation from this latter cause COM
mences in the larynx and glotis, which arc
the organs Of the voice, and. extending down
wards, produces hoarseness, coughing, and
splitting mucous matter, sometimes mixed
wife blood. It is chiefly d angcrous from its
tendency to spread into the lungs, and ter
inmate in consumption. 1t is in the cure Of
severe and obstinate cases Of this disease
that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has achieved unparalleled success, and
won loudest praise from all who have used
it. It's sold by all respectable druggists.
