4 FEoG N \ Mans SToMACH.-A
correspondent of the Bangor CONNER
cial. writing from Hudson, Maine, says:
An incident of a marvellous nature
transpired in our village Iatt night. An
aged man, Mr.. Jonathan James, has
been in very poor health for more than
twenty wears, suffering from peculiar
and embarrassing cough, which nearly
prostratey him every night, usually be-
fore retiring; but last night 1t did not
attack him until nearly | o'clock, when
hard lump came into his throat, nearly
strangling him i'll his efforts to disodge
it, and which on examination thlsmorn-
inc, proved to be q perfect frog, the
body and head from the end of the nose
measuring one inch. The legs, though
not measured, are fully one and a half
inches in length. After that coughing
fit the old gentleman lay down and
slept soundly till morning IA thing he
has not been able to do in long time.
To-day he finds that The Iecul'ar tiut
leriug sensation and distressful feeling
at tho stomach has left him. His age
is nearly scvnnty- years.

A Romance.

CHAPTER I.-She stood beside the
altar, with . wreath of orange buds
upon her hsad-upon her back tss
richest kinds of buds.
Her love stood beside her, with
white kids and dicky clean The last
was twenty.one years old, the first
was seventeen.
The parsons job was over, every
one had kissed the bride and wished
the young pair happiness, and laughed
aud danced and cried.
The festive scene was ended, the
last word had been said, the happy
maid had simmered down, the last
guest had fled.
CHAPTER u.-She stood beside the
wash tub with her red hands in the
suds, while at her slip shod feet there
lay pile Of dirty buds.
Her husband stood beside her the
crossest man alive, the last was twen-
ty-nine years old, the first was twenty.
I've.
The heavy wash was over, aud the
clothes hung out to dry, and Tom had
stuck his finger ID the dirty baby's
eye; Tom had been spanked, and
supper made upon crust Of bread !;
and the happy wife and husband
went grumbling Off to bed.

entered cotton factory as .'piecer."
He was employed from six o'clock in
the morning till eight At night. His
parents were very poor, and he we'll
knew that his must be boyhood OF
very hard labor. But then aud there,
in that buzzing factory. he resolved
that he would obtain an education and
would become an intelligent and .
useful man. With his very first week .
wages he purchased "Ruddiman's Ru.
diments of Latin" He then entered
an evening school that met between
the hours Of eight and ten. He paid
the expenses Of his instruction out Of
his own hard earnings. At the age of
sixteen he could read Virgil and
Horace as readily ~ the pupils Of the
English grammar schools.
He next began course of self-in-
struction. He had been advanced in
the factory from y ''piecer" to the
spinning-jenny. He brought his
books to the factory. and placing one
Of them on the Jenny" with the
lesson open before him, he divided
his attention between the running of
the spindles aud rudiments of knowl-
edge. He now began to aspire to
become preacher and missionary
and to devote his life in some self
sacrificing way to the good Of man
kind. He entered Glasgow University.
He knew that he must work his way,
but he also knew the power Of resolu-
ton, and he was willing to make
almost any sacrifice to gain the end.
He worked at cotton-spinning in the
summer, lived frugally, and applied
his savings to his college studies in
the winter. He completed the allotted
course and at the close was able
triumphantly to say: "Inever had
.tarthing that did not earn"
That boy was DR.. David Livingstone,
. name now justly celebrated through
out the world,
Perhaps you will say that this boy
lost the happiness Of youth and that
his soul was stranger to enjoyment.
This, however, was far from being the
case. ITO be employed is to be
happy" There came an inward
satisfaction with the struggle tina:
does not follow the encrvating pleas
ures Of youth.
No remark IL more common than
this: II would not live my life over
again, but IL were, wonld do differ
emily" What said this man Of toll
and struggle and hardship on calling
to mind his self-reliant youth? Lis
ten:
Cooking back now at that life Of
toll, cannot but feel thankful that it
formed such q material part Of my
early education and, were 1t possible,
I should like to begin life over again
in the same lowly way and to pass
through the same hardy training !"
The world is full Of boys whose cir
cumstances in life are circumscribed,
but in whose secret hearts are the
noblest aspirations for success. For
such. examples like Livingstone have
. helpful lesson. Many praisewOrthy
things have been said of this good man
whom all the world loves, but perhaps
nothing has been said of him more
creditable or deserving Of remem-
brance than the remark which he, in
the honesty and sincerity Of his heart,
made concerning himself, II nerer
had a fdrthing that I did not earn"

The size OF the freshman class il ex-
traordinary. Moreover, they are In
scholarship considerably In advance OF
the standard of any preceding fresh
man class. This IL due to the abolition
Of the preparatory department and
the efforts Of trustees and faculty to
raise the grade Of those admitted. It
isjustly assumed that the Agricul-
tural College cannot do the work Of
common schools. We think that the
only limit to number Of students at
least rs high as five hundred consists
In the lack Of room. The college
bulldog is now filled to its greatest
capacity, and 30 are the scanty board
ing accommodations in the neighbor-
hood.

HYDRoPHoBIA.
Something to Cut Out and Keep.

Something to Cut Out and Keep.
A correspondent Of the Detroit zri-
bune gives an account Of the treatment
pursued in the recent case of HYDRO
phobia at Flint, Michigan. The
subject Of 30 mnch discussion, Mr..
Burt True, was bit by rabid bog last
May. The dog had bitten him in the
centre Of the right hand. Being in
the country At the time, 1t was some
twelve hours before he reached
surgeon, who cauterized the wound
with nitrate Of silver. The wound
healed and remained SO until it became
irritable and broke out again. Soon
the first marked symptoms of hydro
phobia showed themselves. convul-
sions, barking like dog" frothing
at the mouth, and making strenuous
exertions to bite every thing that
came near. During the commissions
the patient would seize the pillows
from his bed in his teeth, and shake
and rend them with all the ferocity of
an angry dog.
An intense dread Of water also ex-
hibited itself. the sight Of which threw
him into the most terrible commissions,
at these times requiring the united
strength Of five men to keep him under
subsection in fact, every symptom of
hydrophobia made itself conspicuous.
The patient was attacked on Friday
evening, January l3. On Saturday
evening his physician, DR.. AFFORD.
reached MIN, and at once was con-
WINGED of the terrible nature of the
disease. Having had case similar
seven or eight years since, where the
patient recovered under his treatment,
and has remained we'll ever since,
after consulting the physician present,
DIR. Mccall, 1t was decided to place
the patient under the same treatment
which had been successful in this
former case, which, for the aid IL may
he TO others who suffer from this dis
ease, we here give as follows: The
injection under the skin Of large doses
| of morphine, and the administration
of large doses Of castor, which is .
powerful anti-spasmodic. About one
grain Of the sulphate Of morphine was
injected under the skin once In four
hours, and half drachm Of the
powdered castor, mixed with syrup,
given internally.
The effect was to produce sleep in
about half All hour, which lasted about
an hour and half. until niue O'Clock
on Sunday morning, when the last
commissions occurred, after which he
suffered severely from obstinate vomit-
ing until Monday Ut ten o'clock, when
that also ceased, leaving the patient
comparatively easy, but very much
Frustrated. Since that time he has
gradually improved, and now is, to all
appearances quite well. In addition
to the above treatment, email quaint.
ties Of chloroform were inhaled ii
times, and on sunday morning the
patient was wrapped in woclen
blanket wrung out Of warm solutiou
of mnriate Of ammonia. This was the
treatment which checked this fearful
malady, and which DR.. AFFORD, fol
tho sake Of humanity, 10 aDxiou,
should be published to the world and
thoroughly tested.

The Missouri Democrat of last Mon

Potatoes have been planted this year
in usual quantities, and IS yet have

bugs. What the yield will probably

localities have reported their potato
prospects.
Corn is small and back ward for the
time Of year, but has thrifty appear

1t is generally conceded that the
