The Romance Of Medicine.

! Itireally appears, says an English
! magazine writer, that men may have
serious attacks of disease and know
little or nothing about it. Here is a
curious instance: Some gentlemen
had been supping together and had
| afterWard taken two pipes. One of
them laid down his pipe and said he
was struck with paralysis. His friends
/ declared they could not perceive it,
but he persisted that his mouth was
| drawn on one side, and he asked a
friend to accompany him home. This
friend called the next day, but found
him very angry with his barber for
not seeing any alteration in him.
But in the course of the day his IN
believing friends saw him to be man
ifestly worse, and he died in about six
months. 1t is not unlikely that there
are many cases of incipient paralysis
which are quite unnOticed by the
sufferer.
The case of Mr.. Humphrey, one of
the leaders Of the Midland Circuit, in
England, was a very remarkable one.
He suffered from a peculiar cancerous
affection, the nature of which was not
discovered until after the performance
of an operation. The case was so
rare that an anonymous account of it
was published in a medical work. At
this time Mr.. Humphrey was to all
appearance established in perfect
health. He happened to read the
article and recognize it as his own
case: "WhereupOn he proceeded to
arrange his affairs and put his house
in order, dying within the predicted
time in the midst of his family, with
the fortitude of an ancient Roman"
1t is probable that each condition of
life may have tendency to develop
some form of physical danger at its
shadow. Thus we have the miners
lung, the painters collie, the artists
dropped wrist, the cOTyphees infiamma-
BILE dress, the clergyman's sore throat.
The number of odd remedies is always
increasing. Both petroleum and chlO-
ral-hydrate are prescribed for sea-sick-
ness. The hOm9pathists say that
petroleum is, in fact, a specific. The
white of eggs is used medically. 1t
seems that opium, although it has
been often called a DOCTORS confession
of weakness, might be used, in mod
crate doses, to a greater extent than is
at present the case. When Mr.. Winn
went out to see the war in France, he
was in the habit of administering
heavy doses of fifteen drops of Iauda-
nun, even when it had been refused
by the surgeon, and found it a very
eltrtT UitB to many poor sufferers dur
ing the campaign.
The subject of sympathies and an
tipathies is extremely curious. Boyle
tainted when he heard the splashing
Of water; Scaliger turned pale at the
sight of water-cresses Erasmus be-
came feverish when he saw a fish. A
curious story is told of a clergyman,
that he always tainted when he heard
certain verse in jeremiah read.
Zimmerman tells us of a lady who
could not endure the feeling of silk or
satin, and shuddered when touching
the velvety skin of a peach. Mr.. Julian
Young tells the story of an officer who
could not endure the sound of a drum.

Almost everybody is crying out,
"Hsrd times" Did any one ever see
the day that this old song was nOs
sung by men in every community
When a man needs little money to
meet an engagement, and cannot
readily get it, even though his barns
and his larder are full, ''the times are
hard" We get into a chronic way Of
repeating this old complaint, and we
don't feel well without repeating it.
It is next to reflection upon kind
providence to thus complain in the
midst Of universal plenty. We oft
times in our eagerness to accumulate
property, Overreacb our ability to
meet engagements promptly, and
then as an easy get of, we charge
ouF mismanagement to "hard times"
Sometimes we cultivate an inOrdi-
nate desire to get rich as rapidly as
possible as though all earth's happi-
ness centered in that idea, and fail
ing to reach the coveted prize within
set time, we grow restless and
charge our failure to "hard times.
After all 10 is at least debatable
question, whether the man who is
satisfied with good health and a full
stomach is not enjoying the acme Of
happiness so far as the world is capa-
bic Of comforting happiness.-Hdys-

Mr.. Birbridge, in a characteristic

''The sensible comfort will not last
always, nor long. In the present
state of things, winter is as much
wanted to continue the earth fruitful,
as a summer. If the grass was al
ways growing, it would soon grow to
nothing, Just as flowers that blow
themselves to death. And as it is
thus with the ground, so it is with the
laborers too. Affections, desertions
and temptations are as needful as con-
sOlations. JOnah's whale will teach a
good lesson, as well as Pisgah's top (;

Ohio Too Flat For Railroads.

The Columbus correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette says:
A joke is told on Philip Hardesty,
the new Senator from Putnam COup-
ty. 1t is said that he rode all the
way from his home to Columbus on
horseback, as the people up in his
region had never heard that there
was such thing as a railroad in the
whole State of Ohio. Some stranger
who chanced to be in Putnam at the
time Mr.. Hardesty started, suggested
to him that he had better 90 part OF
the way by rail; but Mr. H., whose
only idea of a railroad was derived
from a tradition of his grandfather
respecting an inclined plane railway
in the vicinity Of a Pennsylvania
coal mine, and whose idea of the sur
face of Ohio was made up from an ac-
auaiRtance with the dead level Oi
Putnam County, pOoh-pOOhed the
strangers suggestion, and declared
his belief that "Ohio was entirely too
fiat a country for railroads."
Now if Senator Hardesty is anxious
to know who is responsible for this
story, I respectfully suggest that he
refer the question to his Democratic
colleague, Mr.. BOesel, from the same
district.

How Two California Boys Killed
Panther.

The following story, narrating how
two boys killed q panther and two
cubs, Is told the Sacramento Union by
a subscriber, residing in Colusa coun-
ty, California
itPermit me TO make known to you
an incident which transpired during
the summer months at the north fork
of the GrindstOne, in COlusa county.
The particulars are related to me by
Rowcroft, a gentleman residing in
the vicinity Of Newville, upon whose
veracity you can safely rely. He says
two Young men, with whom he is
personally acquainted, started 70 the
mountains, as is customary with a
band of sheep. One was named Or
Iando Burris, aged fourteen years, and
the other Charles Hull, aged eigh-
teen. After getting thoroughly set
tied in their log cabin aud the sheep
under good control, they started OF
one bright morning trout fishing, hav-
ing with them asheep-dog and a jack
knife, the latter in possession Of youg
Hull, and the only weapon OF defense
in case ofan attack from any wild an
imals. They had not got far when
they came to an old mOss-grown log
and were about to step on it, when
out sprang q large she panther and
her two cubs. YOnng Burris Missed
the sheep-dOg on. the panther. She i'm
mediately seised the dog by the head
and was furnishing him IN a frightful
manner when young Burris came 70
the rescue, catching the panther oy the
tail and endeavOring to pull ner on
the dog. In case the panther let go It
would have been sure death 70 the
young adventurer. Just in the nick
Of time young Hull seeing the danger
his companion was in, drew his JACK
knife and rushed to the scene Of the
conflict. Running his hand down
over the panther until he felt the
pulsations ofthe heart, he raised the
knife and with unerTing aim drove II
straight into the panther's heart. The
animal fell dead between them.
Thus, by the merest accident, the
lives Of the two young heroes were
spared. A few days afterward they
hunted I'D the two cubs which had
escaped during the fight with the old
one and killed them also. Any per-
son paying a visit % their father

VOLUME 24-NUMBER Il
ReTiTal Among Quakers-A New ReII-
gIOUS Movement.

For nearly century past the Ouq-
kers, or Society of Friends, have held
what may be termed q neutral ground
among the various religious seets, and
while other religious denominations
have been spreadingfa far and wide thev
have remained comparatively inae-
tive, and the work of Christianizing
the world has been done by other
churches. A hundred years ago, in
England, and Immediately following
the era of George Fox, revival meet
ings were quite common among them,
and the Society was then in It's most
vigorous days. Since that date, how
ever, especially in this country, they
have seemed to be constantly losing
ground, and it has been for some time
felt among the leaders that, as body,
they ought to take more active part
in evangelical work; not for the D ur-
pose OF demOminational aGgrandiZe-
ment, but TO infuse new life into the
members of the Society. In the West,
particularly, has this sentiment exist
ed, q large number Of meetings have
been held, which have been very sue
cessful and have possessed q peculiar
interest, from the fact Of their being
held by body hitherto more mega
tive than positive in its character. In
these meetings they entirely ignore all
distinctions Of class or sect, and take
their stand upon the broad ground of
brotherhood and fellowship which
distinguishes the denomination. The
movement has been slowly creeping
eastward, until at the yearly meeting,
held in New York last year, it was re-
solved that q revival should be at
tempted, committee being appointed
to take the matter in charge and Sc
cure the attendance of eminentspeak-
ers. A series Of meetings in different
parts Of New York, has been the re-
suit Of this movement, with a cOnsid-
cradle addition to the membership Of
the Society, and, it is said, with equal
benefit to other churches. A meeting
Of similar character is now in pro-
gress in New York, two sessions being
held daily, and constantly incrsas-
ing interest being manifested, con-
as it may seem-with
an utter absence Of anything like ex-
cited feeling or Incorporate speaking.
A large number Of eminent speakers
from various parts Of the country are
in attendance, and it is expected to
continue the meetings, which are said
10 be as unsectarian as possible,
throughout the winter.
