The Spaniards have saying that wife
should resemble three things, and yet differ
from the same things First, she should
be like a snail, which always guards its
house, but she should not carry the house
with her whenever she goes out Second,
she should be like an echo, which speaks
only after the other is finished, but she
should rot always have the last word.-
Third, she should be like the town.clock,
which always sounds the hour with regular,
ity, but she should not sound so loud that
the whole town shall hear it,

Everything in life has right side and a
wrong side. You can take eny joy, and by
turning it around, find troubles on the other
side; or, you may take the greatest trouble.
and by turning it around, find joys on the
other side The gloomiest mountain never
casts a shadow on both sides at once, aor
does the greatest Of life's calamities.

The Good Old Bible.

A Virginia banker, who was the chair
man of an infdel club, was once travelling
through Kentucky. having with him bank
bills to the amount Of $4,000. When he
came to lonely forest, where robberies and
murders were said to be frequent, he was
soon lost, through riding the wrong road.
The darkness of the night came quickly
over him, and how to escape from the
threatening danger he knew not In his
alarm he espied at distance dim light,
and urging his horse onward he at length
came to wretched looking cabin. He
knocked the door was opened by woman
who said her husband was out hunting, but
would soon return, and she was sure he
would cheerfully give him shelter for the
night. The gentleman put up his horse
and entered the cabin, but with feelings that
can better be imagined than described -
Here he was with large sum of money
perhaps in the house Of a robber whose
name was terror to the country.
In short time the man of the house re-
turned. He had on deer-skin shirt,
bear skin cap, and seemed much fatigued
and in no laxative mood All this BODIED
the infdel no good. He felt for his pistols
IN his pockets, and placed them so as to be
ready for instant use. The man asked the
traveller to retire to bed, but he determined
to sell his life as dearly as he could. His
fears grew into perfect agony, What was
to be done?
At length the backwoodsman arose, and,
reaching to wooden shelf, took down an
old book and said
"Well, stranger, if yen won't go to bed,
| will but it is always my custom to read
a chapter of the Holy Scriptures before I go
to bed"
What change did these words produce i?
Adam was removed from this skeptic's
mind. Though avowing himself an infdel,
he had more confidence in the Bible. He
felt safe. He felt that man who kept a
Bible in his house, and bent his knees in
prayer, was no murderer or robber. He
listened to the good man and slept as calmly
in that cabin as he did under his fathers
roof. From that night he ceased to revile
the good old Bible.-He became sincere
Christian, and often related the story of his
eventful journey to prove the folly of inf
deity.

NEURAIaA.-A correspondent of the
Lancet says: A few years ago, when in
China, became acquainted with the fact of
the natives when suffering with facial neu-
ralgia using oil of peppermint, which they
lightly apply to the seat of pain with camel
hair pencil Since then, in my own prac-
tice, frequently employ this oil as local
anastetic, not only in neuralgia, but also in
govt, with remarkably good results.

REMEDY FOR IN-GRowING ToE-NAns.-
The best remedy for in-growing toe-nails is
to cut notch about the shape of V in the
end of the nail, about Qpe-quarter the width
of the nail distant from the in-growing side.
Cut down as nearly to the quick as possible,
and one-third the length Of the nail. The
pressure of the boot or shoe will tend to close
the opening you have made in the nail, and
thus soon afford relief. Allow the in-grow-
ing portion of the nail to grow without cut
ting it until it gets beyond the flesh.

TRIUMPHANT FOR Twenty YEARS.
More than twenty years ago the Mus
tang Liniment made its debut in the
West. Its cures Of the varions external
diseases Of horses and cattle astoHished
the planters of the Mississippi and Ohio
Valleys, and demand for it sprung mp
which necessitated its manufacture on
an extensive scale. Soon the discovery
was made that it was grand specific for
rheumatism, govt, neuralgia, earache,
toothache, and other ailments OF
mankind. Then it was tried as a
healing, pain killing application, in
cases of outward injury, such as cuts,
bruises, burns, spasms, etc, and was
found equally serviceable. The fame Of
the new remedy for some Of the most
painful ills that afflict mankind spread
rapidly, and the Mustang Liniment soon
took rank in every State and territory in
the Union as standard cure. eod'dAw

Be on the Safe side.-We hold health and

Of summer, the malarious vapors Of autumn.

Each season has its peculiar perils, and the
fall is perhaps ss prolific of dangerous disor-
ders as any Of them; for at this season fevers
and bowel complaints sre very apt to iake an
epidemic form. As a preventive af this class
Of diseases, Hostetter's Stomach Ritters can
not be too warmly recommended. In II are
combined Eve essential medical properties. II
is tonic, at once powerful and wholesome; 3
stimulant, pure and unde6led; an aperient.
mild and painless; an anti-bilious agent Of
marvellous efficacy; and a general regulating
medicine without an equal in the pharmaco-
peia. These Eve distinct properties, operating
together in perfect harmony, produce a cOndi-
tion Of the system slmeEhat analogous 10 that
brought aboutby course 9f Pugilistic training.
