SYNANCHE ToESILARIs.-CO o m m o Il
sense generally recommends physicians
as we'll as other men to popular favor
but there are exceptions where some
thing uncommon is better received
The Ho0siers listened to o speech OF
Gen. Jackson, but would hardly be
satisfied that he was great man till
he shouted q string of Latin phrazes
" b pBuribls tnatne, /" MaEtunl an marco, y
g Sine qua non - and then they rent the
air with hurras for him. We are told
here OF an invalid who was even harder
to satisfy than the Hoosiers: 5
The first physician in a certain case
was discharged by his patient, because
he was honest enough to tell him that
he had O sore throat; and the second
doctor, having some hint of the fact,
answered the sick man, when questioned,
that his case was highly abnormal, and
had degenerated into synanche tonsilaris.
80, DOCTOR" cried the patient, edo
say that word again. 1 g.
"Why, sir, said you were at pres
ent laboring under synanehei tensilaris. "
Why, just think, doctor, that fool
told me that had nothing but q sore
throat, and told him had no use for
such q Ounce" z5.
Doctor, what did you call it?n
told you, sir, in plain terms, that
the morbid condition of your system
was obvious, and that it had terminated
in synanche tonsIlaris." ss.
go, doctor, it must be a monstrous
bad complaint think you can cure me,
doctor -
Now, though your diagnosis is clear,
your prognossis is doubtful, yet think,
by prudent care and slzillful treatment,
you may recover

ness in Canada recently, for the TWEEN
tietll time, after receiving as many
reprimands from the judge for telling
he saw. He gave the statement yery S
concisely, but to the CONSERVATION Of
the court, in reply to the opposing coun
sells question as to how he knew it all,
came the old answer; "My wife told
me-" Losing all patience, the Judge
roared out: "Suppose your wife should
tell yOH the heavens had fallen, what

Apreacher, addressing u church on
the duty of individual effort for the
conversion of souls, cautioned his hear
ers to exercise care lest their efforts
should tend to evil rather than good,
and instanced the case OF a barber who,
being exercised upon the subject, de
ter1nined to discharge his duty by
speaking to his customers upon the sub
ject of salvation. Soon after he had
formed this pious resolution, a vener-
able gentleman made his appearance.
Surely said the barber, "if he is not
a Christian, it is high time he was.n
While he was putting the towels over
his shoulders and making other prepar-
ations, the barber began to prepare him
self to open the subject. He essayed to
speak, but felt strange sensation, q
lamp, rising in his throat. Again and
again he tried to speak, until the poor
man feared that he should utterly fail.
The thought of failure reused him to o
desperate effort. He had by this time
commenced removing the beard. Ar
resting the movement of his hand,
slightly elevating the razor and looking
his customer intently in the eye, he
said, in voice slightly elevated, and
rendered earnest by the mental conflict.
" Are you prepared to die2r The effect
upon him may be imagined from the
fact Of his leaving the place in such an
excited state of mind as to forget his
hat and coat.

A Scotch parsOn had a farming neigh
Dor who was in the habit of shooting
on Sundays, but after while this Sab
bath breaker joined the church. One
day the minister to whose church he
belonged met friend OF the farmer,
and said: "DO you see any difference
in Mr.. P since he joined the church ~
"1Oh, yes" replied the friend, ga great
difference. Before, when he went out
to shoot on Sunday, he carried his gun
over his shoulder, but now he carries it
under his coat"

Which about this time the sheriff, who
happened to be thar collecting the tax
es, comes up and says he, Mr. Brown
what reyou doing with that rock? Come
along with me; I'll take you to the
magistrate Well, with that, you see
he takes him to Mr.. Mallory, and he
says that it was bad case of salt and
| batter, and that Brown must go to jail
| and stay thar the whole court"
Did you say that you saw Brown
strike Jones on the back part of his head
with rock 2" inquired the attorney for
the commonwealth.
"Wen, yOu see, | did that" was the
reply; R;a ,,o,, ouo,, hoo,, puou.,, 49,.
he intended to beat Jones' brains out
when they should meet at Capt. Rice's
treatF
well, you see, did that thar too, $
said the witness.
"Where was Brown when he made
this threat and when did he make it ?'
asked the attorney.
well, you see, it mought have been
at old Mr.. Rice's; if it wasn't in his
yard, it was thar or tharabouts, Tn a
thinking"
tllreat2"
(which you see it mought have been
some time last spring but then agin it
mought not have been ontwell towards
the fall of the year. / don't remember
adzactly which," was the reply.
Here the judge addressed the witness
with, Are You certain that you saw the
prisoner strike Jones with rock p
|. "Oh yes" was the answer.
Well, sir, how heavy was the rock ?"
In1 l., 4
OF chalk or tharabouts,n was the intelIi-
gent reply.
And Of what size is that 7" inquired
the judge.
"Well, you SEE" responded the witness,
st might abeen about the size of COM
mon marble or tharabouts."
ls that all you know about the mat
ter? asked the judge.
Oh, no." was the reply, (which
never seed Brown strike nary mother lick,
though hearn lawyer who was at Mr..
Rice's or tharabouts, when the salt and
batter TUX place, that he rally believed
Brown would have hit agin arter the
sheriff TUX holt of him, if he had nOe a

was no whar but in Mr.. Rice's yard, or
thara bouts, all the time, and that's about

said the judge to the sheriff; but, before
the witness reached the door, his honor,
having some curiosity to know the name
of 80 simple and incorrigible witness,
said: Stop, sir what is your name 2"
:. My name is Tucker" replied the re-
firing man.
This being the name of the Judge, a
hearty laugh at his honor's expense was
oeeasiOned among the members of the bar
and the by-standers; and thus ends the
only true account of the tale of "My
Cousin Sally Dillard.'
