IN THE WRONG ROUSE.
BY i. DELACY.

Major John Parkinson was a good look.
ing bachelor, and had lived forty-iive years
but one who had taken such good care Of
himself that be was really quite young
man.
lie had gone out tpg India when only llr
teen years old. and was now returning af
ter thirty years absence, the pOssessor OF
an ample fortune, most of which he had
already sent to America for Investment.
The Major did not like boarding houses,
and had, therefore, written to his agent in
New Y YOrk to purchase and have fitted NJ
for him n comfortable residence in some
good neighborhOod.
On cold, rainy November evening the
Ghundaree entered the harbor, bringing the
Major once more to his native land. lie
eagerly FASTENED TO the office os his agent
for information regarding the location OF
his new home, determined to pass the first
night of his arrival under his own roof.
On reaching the Office of Mr.. Smith, his
aGeut, he learned that he was absent, but
the key had been left for him, accompa-
MED by a note, regrettng that business in
the county compelled the writer to rein-
quish the pleasure of personally greeting
the Major on his arrival, but assuring him
that he would find his house in complete
order, with servants TO administer to his
wants.
Though sorry the agent had not been
able TO meet him personally. the Major
made the best of it, and turned to the card
attached to the KEY for instructions as 10
ihp location Of his residence and saw writ.

a Question for women.

A cotemporary says, we have heard il
SAID oy women who are "advanceun and
rather tired Of waiting for the remainder OF
the world To come up, that the day would
come when women would marry women
and 90 oil and live together in n beautiful
and congenial union, leaving the men to
take care of themselves and at no distant
date, we suppose, to disappear altogether
from the srl ne. There is certainly no rea-
son why cultivated women in twus aud
thrces should not make house keeping un-
ions and SD obtain something Of The indie
pendence of being settled"
a lady recently advertised in the London
Times IN these terms : "A rich lady, widow
age 30, desires to know another lady of
good fortune. who would live with her or
travel To fashionable watering places in
Europe oF America. Adyertiser-a great
traveller speaks several languages, could
introduce charming society, and wants to
enjoy life with hanindepepdent friend. First
class maid, with use OF comfortable town
mansion (ficcadi!ly) during preliminary
preparations" ......
This Is rs tempting programme as one
sees advertised. and does not involve any
such selfsacriee as taking the oili@ of
deacopess would. With wealth, n lrst-
class maid, charming society, and several
languages, one ought TO enjoy herself, and
not be under the necessity of advertising
for aid. But this is an ago of discoutent,
and thousands do not appear to "enjoy life"
under the most favorable circumstances
Men go about to fashionable watering pla-
ces and ENJOY life" why should not wo-

young mamma, on the important occa =

be more economical to make them of tho

five years the annual sales of this article
amounted to over One Million Of Bottles A

In Buffalo there are not well Horses enourh
to carry merchandise through the streets.
Boats on the Erie Canal are tied up from one
end to the other, and thousands of tons of pro-
duce cannot reach market. In Rochester the
Common Council has established regulation
for hand-carts, there being no horses to truck
goods, and it is with difficulty that they can be
obtained to attend funerals. The President of
the United States has sent instructions to our
Consus on the Canadian line to prevent the
further importation of diseased Horses There
are probably 1900 sick Horses in New York
and Brooklyn to-day. The disease travels in
the air, and seems to attack about one-thirfof
the Horses in stable at the same instant.
Then others come down by degrees 1t exhib-
its thrcc phases: the Catarrhal, Rheumatic
and Gastro-Erysipelatous, and all termed Eni-
zootic Influenza
Its treatment is not understood and th. d;s.
ease is frequently fatal. The animal mus. bs
kept unusually warm and clean. The legs,
throat, &c, washed with emollients The Cen
taur Ldnlment seems to be the specific acting
both upon the glands and joints, and superior
TO Iurpentine, Opodeldoc or Capsicum. When
the throat belly, and legs of the animal are
early rubbed with this Liniment, and cloths
saturated with it bound on the legs, the dis
ease is checked and the animal soon RECEIVERS.
The nose and eyes should be frequently spong-
ed with warm water. The feed must be soft
mash carrots and salted hay. The water
must not be cold but tepid When the cough
has become severe, give warm fax-sesd tea
with little Spirits of Nitre, and Belladonna
and Muriate of Ammonia in small doses three
times day. But an absolute preventive to
horses taking the disease is the carly use of
the Centaur Liniment, the elements of which
are simply wonderful, and warm clean bedding
with no exposure or hard work.
