DEATH OF C1owN.-The death of Joe Pentland, the circus clown, in the Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell's Island, presents one of the saddest of the con- trasts of this checkered life. Alas poor Yorick! For years had Joe worn the motley and played the fool in the little garish world whose sky was the Tapping canvas. His mild jests,. al- most as vapid as the lemonade that passed around the front row of seats, delighted thousands of infantile minds both old and young, and yet Joe's intel lect, not overworked, one would think, by the demands of his profession, be- came clouded and muddled, more imbe- cile it fact than it could ever be in its best days in the ring, and he died in the gloomiest of all death chambers-a ward in the insane asylum.

How to Cure a Cold.

One Of our C1G1Z6nS who has been troubled with severe cold on the lungs, effected his recovery in the following simple manner: He boiled a little boneset and hoarhound together, and drank freely of the tea before going to bed. The next day he took five pills, put one kind of plaster on his breast, another under his arms, and still another on his back. Under advice from an ex- perienced old lady he took all three off with an oyster knife in the afternoon, and slapped on mustard paste instead. His mother put some onion drafts to his feet and gave him lump of tar to swallow. Then he put some hot bricks to his feet and went to bed. Next morning, another old lady came in with a Bottle of goose oil, and gave him a dose of it in quill, and an aunt arrived about the same time from Bethel, with & bundle of sweet fern which she made into tea, and gave him every half hour until noon, when he took big dose of salts. After dinner his wife, who had seen @ fine old lady; of great experience in doctoring, on Franklin street, gave him two pills of her make about the size of an English walnut and of simi- lar shape, and two tablespoonfuls of homemade balsam to keep them down. Then he took half pint of hot rum at the suggestion of an old sea captain in the next house, and steamed his legs with an alcohol bath. At this crisis two of the neighbors arrived, who saw at once that his blood was out of order, and gave him a half gallon of spearmint ten, and big dose of castor oil. Before going to bed he took eight of a new kind of pill, wrapped about his neck a flannel soaked in hot vinegar and salt, and had feathers burnt upon shovel in his room. He is now thoroughly cured, and full of gratitude. We advise our readers to cut this out and keep il where it can be readily found when danger threatens. .-Danb,ry NeUs.
 Home Influence.
 Rev. Dr. Cuyler talks in this wise:- If the father generally talks money money, money at home, he generally rears family in worship of the almighty dollar. If he talks mainly horses games and races, he breeds a batch o1 sportsmen. If fashion is the family al tar, then the children are offered up as victims upon the altar. If man makes his own fireside attractive, he may req sonably hope to anchor his own children around it. My neighbor Q--maket himself the constant evening companion of his boys. The result is that his boys are never found in bad places. But il the father hears the clock strike clever in his clubhouse or the playhouse, he need not be surprised if his boys heal it strike twelve in the gaming room o1 the drinking saloon. If he puts the bottle on his own table, he need not wonder if drunken son staggers in by-and-by, at his front door. Wher the best friend that childhood and youth have becomes their foe, the homes become the starting post fol moral r11in
