LEvEL-HEADED LOVERS. = A singular
marriage was recently made by fascinating
lady school teacher in Kentucky country
town. First she rejected him, but he be-
haved with SO much dignity under the NOR
LITIGATION of her REFUSAL neither getting
drunk nor hating her, and he manifested SO
many signs of earnest affection. that she re-
Tented and wrote him note informing him
that she had reconsidered. The young man,
all aglow with happiness, fastened to her
side, and insisted on immediate marriage.
But here an unlooked-for obstacle inter
vened. Her school term was but half out,
and the stony-hearted directors refused to
cancel her engagement except at the ex-
pense of forfeiture of half term. Lover
was importunate. Finally the. lady con-
sented to compromise. She bounced into
the young mans buggy and was driven to
Danyille, where the knot was hastily tied.
Then she went back to her school and the
groom went about his business, with the
understanding that he was not to see or
poster" her in any way until next July,
when her term will be finished. A

DO NOT DEsPIsE SNAIL THINGs.-The
possibility OF great change being introduc-
ed by very slight beginnings, may be illus
trated by tale which Lockman tells of a
vizier, who, having offended his master, was
condemned to perpetual captivity in lofty
tower. AT night his wife came to weep be-
low his window. Cease your grief" said
the sage; I" 60 home for the present, and

buffalo's butter), three clews-one OF the fin

another of whip cord finally. stout coil of
rope" When she came again to the foot
OF the tower, provided with these things, he
instructed her to touch The head Of the in
sect with little of the gbee, to tie one end
of the silk thread around him, and place the
insect on the wall of the tower Seduced
by the smell of butter, which he conceived
to be in the store somewhat above him, the
beetle continued to ascend till he reached
the top and thus put the vizier in posses
sion of the end OF the thread and he drew
up the pack thread by means of the silk i;
the small cord by means ofthe pack-thread;
and by means of the cord stout rope, ca
pable of sustaining his own weight; and so,
at last, escaped from the place of his duress.

To the Editor Of the Standard:

To the Editor Of the Standard:
The present epidemic of measles pre-
vailing in our midst, suggests some ideas
that ! wish to present to your readers,
hoping thereby to remove some errors.
1t is generally supposed that measles is
n disease not often fatal, and seldom pro-
ducing much harm, and that everybody
can and should be his own Doctor.
These are mistaken ideas, and often
lead to the worst Of consequences. Hos
ptal report, and the experience Of every
physician, establish the fact that measles
are as fatal, and produce worse results
than any disease the human system Is
liable to-
We often hear it repeated by patients
that they have not been will since they
had the measles and their statements
are true. The poison has not been re-
moved from the system, but has settled
on some vital organ, most likely the
lungs. Disorganization is the result, and
death is almost sure to follow. 1t seems
to me that this fearful disease should not
be neglected, or treated by unskillful
hands, but should be treated by the most
skilltul physician, upon rational princi-
pies, being sure that all the poison is re-
moved from the system, and that there
are no deposits left to destroy the vital
organs.
do not know that these views upon
! the subject will produce any good, or
that my advice will be taken. People
are so divided with the issues of the day,
| that truth is rejected, and error received.
! Perhaps there never was a time when the
country was so full of doctors as at pres
ent; nor was there ever a time when
pathies were so numerous. Some new
spirits start up from the chaos of nothing g
to do" puts up recipe from some IAdi-

an abundant supply of physicians. which
preclude the necessity OF resorting to
quackery in any form, as the profession
are FULLY able to contend successfully
with every class OF curable disease Each
and every family should select it's physi-
elan, without any regard to politics or
religion, but upon the merits of qualifi-
cation and success Having made their
selection they should have confidence in
his judgment, at all times and under all
circum stances. And at no time should
they use any new remedy, or spend their
money with travelling physicians, with
out first having had the advice of their
attending physician. If this rule was
adopted, each physician would take much
more interest in the welfare OF his pa
tients, mutual confidence would be the
result, greatly benefiting the patient, and
giving the physician an opportunity to
know the wants OF his patients, and to
protect them from being imposed upon
by dishonest Spectators, whose object is
plu nder and profit, regardless OF conse-
quences. l. L. MONAHAN, NJ. D.
