TO DANCE AND YET BE PRUDENT.

Be very careful not to pull down your
shirt sleeves, or up your collar, or, in fact,
to do anything to your costume as YOU en-
ter the bsll room. 1t implies nervousness
or uoeainess with yourself to do SO; and
your one great endeavor in all societies
should be to appear thoroughly at your ease,
and satisfied, without vanity or coxcombry,
with your dress and appearance. Do no,
stand idle, but do not dance overmuch.-
The one implies small number of friends
the other wastes valuable tine and prevents
you keeping that constant lookout all around
,ou which is essential to success. Be in
troduced to movable people quietly there
is no necessity to advertise to bystanders
that you did not know them before. New,
er talk much to woman you have only

She may be allowed to suppose you wish
to know her, but not that her acquaintance
is any particular acquisition to you. Above
all things, my dear boy, en:reat you not
to stand in the door ways nor herd with
other men upon the landings. 1t is simply
advertising yourself failure Tie yourself
to the veriest all-Hower, gossip with the
dowdiest mother, dance with the most dis
appointed OF the maidenhood, rather than
sink to this. Sitting in corners compris

to avoid that most agreeable thing of ball

SAILING ON A FRIDAY.-The sailors
have q supersition-shared in by many
other people-that Friday is an unlucky
day, and that the owners of that splendid
ship, the Three Brothers, we're rash to Sc.
lect Friday on which to send her to sea
So strong is the belief of some persons that
the voyage will prove. disastrous, that we
have heard of bets being offered and taken
to that effect. 1t is to be hoped that the
believers in i'll omens will prove at fault in
their predictions.-S. F. Call.
The Three Brothers should be blessed
for aiding in lifting curse from that bless

begun to sentence persons to be hanged on

the curse is entirely lifted, they shall order
hanging on any day but that.-Bee.

ASIATIC CHOLERA IN CHINA.
Almost Every Case Cured With
P PAIN-kILLE r!

Dear Sirs: During q residence of some ten
years in Siam and China, as . missionary, found
your Pain Killer a most valuable remedy for that
fearful scourge the Cholera.
In adm inistering the medicine found it most
efectual to give a spoonful of Pain Killer in
gill of hot water sweetened with sugar then af-
ter about fifteen minutes, begin to give about q
tablespoonful of the same mixture every few mn-
utes until relief was obtained Apply hot appli-
cations to the extremties. Battle the stomach
with the Pain Killer, clear. and rub the limbs
briskly. Of those who had the Cholera, and took
the medicine faithfully, in the way stated above,
eight out of ten recovered.
REV. R. TELFORD, Missionary in China
Dear Sirs During a long residence in China
I have used your valuable Pain Killer, both in
my own family and among the Chinese, and have
found it a most excellent medicine In the Sum-
mers of 1862 and 1868, while residing in Shanghai
found it almost certain cure for cholera, if used
in time. Indeed, using it in great many in
stances, do not remember failing in single
For three years have been residing in this place.
more than fifty miles from physician, and have
been obliged often to fall upon my own resources
in cases of sickness. The Chinese come to in
great numbers for medicine and advice. Though
without medical knowledge ourselves, the few
simple remedies command much in
advance even of their physicians. that we have al
most daily applications. We allow them to come,
because it brings in contact with them and opens
door of usefulness. In diarrhea. collie vomiting,
cholera, coughs, etc., your Pain Killer has been
my chief medicine. Yours, very truly,
REV. T.. CRAWFORD, Tungehow, China.
Those using Pain Killer should strictly observe
the following directions
At the commencement of the disease, take a
teaspoonful of Pain Killer in sugar and water, and
then bathe freely across the stomach and bowels
with the Pain Killer clear. Should the diarrhea
and cramp continue, repeat the dose every fifteen
minutes In this way the dreadful scourge NAV
be checked and the patient relieved in the course
of few hours.
N. B.-Be sure and get the genuine article; and
it is recommended by those who have used the
Pain Killer for the cholera, that in extreme
the patient take two (or more) teaspoonfuls in
stead of one.
The PAIN-KILLER is sold by all Druggists
and Dealers in Family Medicines.

Chaplain at Fort Klamath was endeavoring
to convert Jack and seek rest for his soul,
