Treatment Of the Sick.

As this season of the year sometimes
brings considerable sickness, a few remarks
may be appropriate. When friend or
relative is taken down we all run to see
what is the matter, and if they grow worse
we run oftener, and stay longer. and get
up dainty messes to tempt them to TRY
and eat just little," 'you really are SO
very weak" &c. And ifthey survive all
this killing kindness, and get little on
the mend, then we neglect them almost
entirely, thinking they are coming on
nicely" "will soon be we'll again." &c.
We need reform iE this matter. When
persons are going into low fevers, or other
serious sickness, they generally need quiet,
and can i'll bear any excitement like COM
pany and conversation. And they seldom
want food even the necessary beef-tea
inevitable toast are sad trials. Let us
leave the very sick in the hands of doc
tor and good nurse, aiding them as much
as We can indirectly; but when the dis
ease is conquered and nature begins to rail-
ly the weakened forces, our gentle minis
trations should then begin. Then is the
time to bring on the dainty repast, (rot

and tell all the pleasant news, and it will
help much toward a safe and happy con-
valescence.

The Columbus Crisis says: 1.-The fig
urative affirmation that tiger cannot
change his stripes or leopard his spots is
put to fault by an actull occurrence in
this city-no less than negro changing
from black to white. The man is well
known hotel porter. and the best authori-
ties can attest the fact of his turning from
a man with black skin to man with an
uncommonly white skin. The process of
this change of colors has been going on for
several years. l. commenced by the al
most unnoticeable peeling off of the skin
of his face several years ago, and ended in
the complete TRANSPORTATION of the skin of
his entire body, so that now no one can
perceive save by the features that he was
ever anything but very pale white man.
1t was first thought to be some new dis
ease, but the man has been, and is now as
healthy as any of his fellow mortals. We
believe this is the first case of the kind
known to books or experience"
