had rheumatism and who believed
that snake grease is cure for it,
he chased the snake, which took refuge in
a wood pile. Hulse seized him by the
back of the neck, but so far from the head
that it cOntrived TO turn and plant one of
its fangs in the index finger of his right
hand. Hulse held fast to his snake, never
theless, stamped his head off, and then
spent half an hour in looking for white ash
leaves, which are believed TO bean antidote
for the poison. lie found none to suit him,
however, and started for Cornwall. He
was bitten at T. and il was IL O'Clock be-
fore he reached the village, and DR.. Beattie @
was summoned. At this time the arm and
finger were very much swollen and very
gaucrenous, the action of the heart had al
most ceased, aud the man seemed like one
i'm state of intoXication. DR.. Beattie has
two quarts of whisky in 20 minutes; laud-
anuln and quinine were also given in large
quantities, and Notwithstanding the loss of
three halr-pints of blood from the finger,
the pulse increased, a1l Huse becawe
thoroughly conscious. He is alter IL DAYS,
in apparently good health, with an excel

The black is occa ionally streaked with blue
purple and green, which appear and dis
appear alternately.

ditfident say what they think and the
verbose think what they say. Tor
the greatest takers are careful when
they find they have good listener.
They know that they may not often
be so fortunate, and they talk their
best. The adept at listening may
sometimes hear more pressing than
he likes; but if he be skillful, this
will not often happen. When it is
impossible to get anything interesting
or useful out of man, he need be
listened to no longer. Every one of
sense will agree to that. But it is
astonishing how many good things
some very unpromising persons viii
say if they be properly and conscien-
tieusly listened to.
To be sure. it is very hard for some
persons to listen. They have a gift
for talking, and they like to exercise
it. But these are the very persons
who should do a great deal of list
ening. They know what luxury it
is to talk, and they should give their
families and friends a chance to learn
the art. Besides. like farmers, they
will often find much advantage in Il
rotation of crops. A season of listen
ing is often a most excellent prepar-
ative for a season Of talk.-Indcpen-
dent.

WHAT would you advise a poor SIN

and can neither believe, love, nor
obey?
Do the best you can. God Is not
''an austere man." No one can be
in the sad state of mind described by
our correspondent who has a right
notion of God. But the remedy is
not in thinking about God. nor in
trying to feel. Find some Christian
work and do it, help somebody, re-
lieve somebody-exercisey yourself in
some way. Let yOur feelings take
care Of Themselves. 1t is too much
looking in that has done the mischief.

outward and not inward, forward and
not backward, and lend q hand, -

journalism in Turkey.

A despach from Constantinople
says that the LeU0m Herald has been
suspended for two months on account
of publishing satilcal articles con-
cerning the insufficient arrangements
for supplying water to the inhabitants
of that city. We are in doubt as TO
the peculiar views entertained by the
Turkish government in respect to
water, but clearly the old maxim that
cleanliness is next TO godGness"
does not obtain at the court of the
Sultan. 1t is possible that for state
reasons water is not thought to be
wholesome drink, although perhaps
1t is uncourteous to assume that these
are chiefly personal. Wha-
ever may be the reason, the fact still
remains that it is not profitable to be
known. as an advocate of an abun-
dant supply Of water in the city Of
Constantinople.
We happen to know, however,
that there is great need of more wa
ter in that city. 4 friend who was
recently there says that the hotels
are filthy beyond account, and that
the private and business parts OF The
town, so far as he could learn, were
in as bad q condition.

Do you wish to do something to-

you desire that your brothers and

Would it please you to get all the

If SO, learn to listen.
But first learn wnat listening is :;
for it is not merely the exercise Of the
sense Of hearing. Tue stupidest Of
US all can keep ears open and mouth
shut. To listen properly means to
make other people talk properly.
That is a social definition, if it is
not a Websterian one. The good

lower mandible are curved and cross
each other, looking dcforned and
useless. This bird inhabits the i'm

feeds on the seeds of the pine and

HOME CONVERSATION. Children hunger
perpetually for new ideas, and the mos'
pleasant way of reception is by the voice and
ear, not the eye and the printed page. The
one mode is natural, the other artificial
Who would not rather listen than read ? An
audience will listen closely from the begin
ming to the end of AN address which not one
in twenty of those present would read with
the same attention. This is emphatically
true of children. They will learn with pleas
ure from the lips of parents what they deem
it drudgery to study in books; and even if
they have the misfortune to be deprived OF
the educational advantages which they de-
sire, they cannot fail to grow up intelligent il
they enjoy in childhood and youth the privi-
lege of listening daily to the conversation OF
intelligent people.
Let parents then, talk much and talk well
at home. A father who is habitually silent
in his own house may be, in many respects,
IA wise man: but he is not wise in his silence.
We sometimes see parents who are the very
life of every company which. they enter, dull
silent, uninterestng at home among their
children. If they have not mental activity
and mental stores sufficient for both, let them
first provide for their own household.

How TO GET ALoNa.-Don't stop to tel
stories in business hours.
If you have place of business be found
there when wanted
No man can get rich by sitting around
stores and saloons.
Never "fool' in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity and
promptness.
DO not meddle with business you know
nothing Of.
Strive to avoid harsh words and pers onal-
ties
DO not kick every one in the path.
More miles can be made in day by going
steadily than by stopping.
Pay as you 60.
A man of honor respects his word as he
does his bond.
Help others when you can but never give
what you cannot afford to, simply because
it is fashionable.
Learn to say no. No necessity of snap
ping it out ogfashion, but say it firmly and
respectfully.
Use your own brains rather than those of
others.
Learn to think and act for Yourself.
Keep ahead rather than behind the times.
Young men, cut this ont, and if there be
folly in the argument let us know.
The Placer herald., 1873-03-22

RArrD DREAMING.-A very remarkable
circumstance and very important in analogy
IS said by Dr. Forbes WnsIow to be found
in the extreme rapidity with which the men
tai operations are formed, or rather with
Which the material changes, on which the
ideas depend, are excited in the hemi<pherical
ganslia. 1t would appear as if whole Sc
ries Of acts, that would really occupy long
lapse Of time, pass ideally through the mind
in one instant. We have in dreams no per-
cepton of the lapse of. time, a strange prop
erty of mind; for, if such be also its properly
when entered into ia eternal disembodied
state, time will appear to us eternity. The
relations of space, as well as of time, are also
annihilated; so that while almost an eternity
is compressed into moment of time, infinite
space is traversed more willy than by
real thought. There are numerous ilustra-
tions of this principle on record. A gentle
man dreamed that he had enlisted as a SOL
der, joined his regiment, deserted, was
apprehended, carried back, uied condemned
to be shot, and at last led out for execution.
After the usual preparations, a gun was
fired; awaking he found that slight noise
had produced the dream the same moment
