greatly to his disappointment, the reverend
gentleman from Richmond did not put in an

on, and as it was about closing, a good BROTH
or Of the church, Rev. Z. II. w. Smith, ad-
vanced and requested of the pastor the priv
ilege Of saying a word after the benedction
was pronounced. After the benediction, Mr..
Smith, in behalf of the friends in the society,
and in neat little speech, presented an ele-
giant silver cake basket as a gift to Mrs. Mar
tin, and an envelope well filled with green
backs, for the pastors use. This surprise
had more perceptble effect upon the pastor
than did even the disappointment that had
preceded it. He received the gifts, but could
make no response. 1t was the first time in
his life that he found it impossible to make a
speech. He came near forgetting to say,
"Thank you," and even that common and
naturyl expression struggled for utterance.
These pleasant occasions are the green
spots in the life Of a pastor. The kindly re-
membrance at this time is particularly sug-
ges,ive, as Mr.. Martin is so soon to close bis
pastoral relations with this people.

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR TIE ASTHMA.
The Repertoire de Phmmacie gives
the following simple remedy for the
asthma: Take a strongly saturated So
luton OF nitrate of potassa; dip tin
der into it, and then allow it to dry.
Procurea wide-mouth vial, the cork of
which has an aperture in the center, so
as to admit any hollow tube whatever
a pipe closed at the end, for exam
pie. Light the piece of finder and
place it in the vial Then cause the
patient to inhale the gases that are dis
engaged, either through the mouth or
nostrils. At the end of few respira
tons he will find relief, which will aug
ment. In regard to an explanation of
this mode Of treatment, it Is supposed
that small portion of oxygen, olsen
gagged by the combustion of the nitrate
of pottassa, is inhaled by the patient.
1t is known that in asthmatic patients
the sanguinous circulation is incom-
plete in the lungs, that the blood is
imperfectly regenerated, that it is
black, and does not burn its excess of
carbon. BY the oxygen absorbed,
therefore, combustion may be facilitat-
ed.
