A Scriptural lesson got
BY those who plod EN-,
Is that OF Mr.. Lot
Who dwelt in Sodom.
The place grew very bad
From hour to hour
Twas fully time it had
A warming shower.
One day the clouds looked i'll
And threatened it
Having no tin umbrill.
Lot got up to cir.
OF course the fiery shower
Would make it hot,
But so for many an honr
Had Mrs. Lot.
Glib tongued, OF aspect dark,
- She nothing rocked,
And the old patriarch
Sadly hen-pecked.
He knew her clashing way,
And in his ire,
Almost wished she'd stav
And try the fire.
1t turned out just as we'll,
For she tco,M halt,
And curious to tell,
Was turned to salt
She stood there, clear and white,
And melancholy,
A sad and warning sight
For vixen folly.
Some natural tears old Lot
In pity wept,
And often came to see
HOW well BIO kept.
He always brought along
A little Lunch,
To soothe his tender grief,
Likewise some punch.
And when his mutton chop
Wasn't sailed quite,
He'd scrape his former spouse
And make it right
Dying, this only grief
Just filed his cup
That life had been too brief
To use her up.

Centaur Liniment.

There is no pain which the Centaur
Iinimcnt will not relieve, no swelling
i; will not Subdue. and no ameness
which it will not cure. This sistrong
language, but it is true. Where the
parts are not gone, its effects are marvel
Gus. 1t has produced more cures of
rheumatism, neuralgia, lock-jaw palsy,
Sprains, swellings, caked-breasts, scalds,
burns, salt-rhcum, ear-aChc. &C.. upon
the human frame, and of strains, Spay-
in gals, &c, upon animals, in one
veal than have all other pretended re-
indies since tie world began, 1t is a
Countcr-irriate, an all-hcaling pain re-
lever Cripples throw away their
clutches, the lame walk. poisonous
JHcs are rendered harmless and the
wounded are healed without scar. 1t
is no humbug. The recipe is publish
ed around each bottle. 1t is selling as
no article ever before Sold and it sells
because it does just what it pretcnds to

There is no single item in connec
ton with the farmers business that
attracts more of his attpnton-that
more eXcites his ire, or gives him
greater satisfaction than good or bad
roads, and yet there is no subject in
which he is more persistently pervrrse
and careless. Who ever heard of two
farmers agreeing upon the proper time
to repair roads, or the best means Of
doing it ? Road. mending with us is, in
most instances, merely a spasmodic
outbreak Of misdirected labor, applied
without definite object, and regard
less of all recognized laws of mechanics
or nature.

A clergyman informed his people
at the close of his sermon that he in
tended in few days to go on mis-
sion to the heather. After the con
eregation was dismissed, a number of
the members waited for their pastor,
and, crowding around him, expressed
their establishment at the new turn in
his affairs, asking ..him where he was
going, and how long they would be
deprived of his ministrations. He
said to them, ''AIy good friends, don't

Sham Hays and his Bull Race.

some forty years ago the managers
OF race.course near Brownsville. ON
the Monongahela, published Il notice
OF race, one mile heats, on Il particu-
lar day, for a purse of 500, free for
anything with four legs and hair on.
A man in the neighborhood, named
Hays, had a bull that he was in the
habit of riding to the mill with his
bag of corn, and he determined to en-
ter him for the race, He said nothing
about it to any one but he rode him
around the track number of times on
several bright nights, and the bull had
the hang of the ground pretty well,
and would keep the right course. He
rode him with spurs, which the bull
considered particularly disagreeable
so much so that he always beloved
when they were applied to his sides. -
On the morning Of the race Hays
came upon the ground con horseback"
on his bull. Instead of a saddle he
had a dried ox-hide, the head part of
which, with the horns still on, he had
placed on the rump. He carried a
short tin horn in his hand He rode
up to the Judges stand and offered to
enter his bull for the race, but the
owners of the horses objected, Hays
appealed to the terms of the notice.
insisted that his bull had -four legs
and hair on" and that therefore he
had right to enter him. After
good deal of "cussin' and discussin',"
the Judges declared themselves com
PEELED to decide that the bull had the
right to run, and he was entered &C
cordingly. When the time for start
ing arrived the bull and the horses
took their places. The horse-racers
were out of humor at being bothered
with the bull and at the burlesque
which they supposed was intended,
but thought that would be over as
soon as the horses started. The signal
was given, and the did start. Hays
gave a blast with his horn, and sank
his spurs into the bulls sides, which
bounded with a terrible below, at no
trifing speed, the dried ox-hide flap
ping up and down, rafting at every
jump, making q combination of noises
that had never been heard on a race
course before. The horses all flew off
the track, every one seemed to be
seized with sudden determination to
take the shortest cut to get out of the
RCdstone country, and not one them
could be brought back in time to save
their distance. The purse was given
to Hays under great deal of hard
swearing on the part of the owners of
the horses. A general row ensucd,
but the fun of the thing put the crowd
all on the side of the bull. The horse
men contended that they were swindl-
ed out of the purse, and that if it had
not been for Hays horn and cx-hde,
which he ought not to have been per-
mitted to bring on the ground, the
thing would not have turned out as it
did. Upon this Hays told them that
his bull could beat any of their horses,
anyhow, and if they would put up
800 against the purse he had won,
he would take off his ox-hide and leave
his tin-horn and run fair race with
them. His offer was accepted and his
money staked. They again took their
places at the starting-post and the
signal given. Hays gave the bull an
other touch with his spurs, and the
bull gave another tremendous below.
The horses remembered the horrible

DIR. Harris, health officer of New York, has
published q letter on infant mortality In that
city and its inducing causes. During the week
ending the 26th ult. there were sec deaths, Of
which 492 occurred among children under two
years Of age, and So among children under fv We
years Of age. The greatest number of deaths on
any one day occurred on 18th Of July, the total
number being 157, OF which 122 were of children
under five years Of age. The death rate for the
week ending the 18th ult-, was equal to an
annual rate In every one thousand inhabitants
of 4i-I2; the rate for the week before beng
f3.6s. Nearly one-third Of these deaths, DR..
Harris says, were caused by diarrhetic diseases;
and of those who died from these causes during
the week mentioned, q only were adults, whose
average age, however, exceeded sixty years. A
map accompanies DIR. Harris letter designating
where each fatal case of disrrhaetic disease
occurred. 1his shows that the great majority
OF deaths occurred in filthy portions Of the city
occupied by the poorer classes. He says that If
parents would only keep their children and their
houses clean many lives might be saved, and
If m addition the little ones could be taken
into parks daily those who now ''perish needless
ly by thousands would not die.'
