I" Heart Of Man,

When Napoleon the Great died at st.
Helena, an English physician took
charge of his heart, depOsiting it in a
silver basin filled with water. Two ia
pers burned near it but the custodian
felt ~nervously anxious while watching
it through the night, and did not sleep.
In the silence of midnight he heard a
rustling sound then a plunge into the
water, and a rebound or the floor, all
occurring withthe quickness of thought.
He sprang from his bed to see an enOr-
nous rat dragging the precious relic to
his hole A moment more and the
heart which had been too vast in its am
bition to be satisfied with the sovereign
ty of continental Europe would have
been more degraded than the dust of
Imperial Caesar.

INTERESTING blister draws sharper
than interest. 1t works all day and all
night, in fair weather and in foul. 1t
has no sound in it's footsteps, but
travels fast. 1t gnaws at a mans sub
stance, with invisible teeth. 1t binds
industry with a film as a fly is bound in
a spiders web. Debts roll a a Ove
and over, binding him hand and foot,
and letting him hang upon the fatal
mesh until the long-legged interest de-
YOURS him. There is out one thing on a
farm or plantation like it, and that is
the Canada thistle, which warns new
plants every time you break its roots /;
whose blossoms are prolific. and every
flower the father of a million seeds /;
every leaf is an awl, every branch is a
spear, and every plant like a platoon Of
bayonets, and a field of them like an
armed host /; the whole plant q torment
and a vegetable curse, and vet the farm
er had better make his bed of Canada
thistles than attempt to be at ease upon
interest.

A RafSkin Costume.

An ingenious individual of Liskeard,
Cornwall, has been exhibiting himself
in a dress composed from top to toe of
ratskins, which he has beeu collecting
for three years and a half. The dress
was made entirely by himself it CON
sists of hat, neckerchief, coat, waist
coat, trousers, tippet, CATERS and shoes.
The number of rats required to COM
plete the sait was go ; and the individ-
ual, when thus dressed, appears exactly
like one of the Esquimaux described in
the travels CT Parry and Ross. The
tippet or boa is composed of the pieces
OF skin Immediately around the tails of
the rats, and is a very curious part Of
the dress, containing about 600 tails,
and those of the shortest.

To THOSE Who DRAW NoTEs.-A man
drew a note promising to pay one hun
dred dollars. He used a printed form,
and did not close up the blank devoted
to dollars, and after passing it as nego-
table paper somebody inserted and
fifty" after the one hundred and before
the printed dollars. The note, thus al
tered, got into the hands of an innocent
party, who presented it to the drawer,
and the Supreme Court decided that the
maker of the note was liable for its face.
because through negligence he did not
draw a line between the written word
hundred" and the printed word IDOL
lars" Any testimony that the drawer
might offer to establish the fact that he
gave a note for one hundred dollars
must go for nothing, as "there was
nothing on the face of the note show
ing that il had been altered" Evidence
of an alteration on the face of the note
would have changed the case. Let
this be a lesson TO all drawers of prom
issory notes. No one can be too careful
in such matters.

GLAD T1pISGs FOR THE SLAVES OF

GLAD TIpISGs o THE SLAVES OF
KING ALCOHOL. How many a manly
form is palsied how many a noble
mind is de destroyed; how many a price
less soul lost, through the curse of strong
drink To the despairing victims of
the Satanic tyrant, Alcohol, whose
shattered nerves, and trembling limbs,
and racking headaches, seem to find no
relief except in the renewed use OF the
fatal poison which brings them every
day nearer to their miserable end, We an
nounce glad tidipgs of great JOY Dr..
WALKERS VINEGAR BrrrERs contain not
a single drop of Alcohol in any form,
but are a sovereign remedy for the Ills
of drunkenness. They restore tone and
strength to the system, and entirely
eradicate the pernicious appetite for
liquor. Try a few bottles of VINEGAR
BrrTERs, and YOU win never crave strong
spirits again, but find your health re
paired, your mind restored, and be
once more q man in the best sense.

Useful Recipes.

GOLDEN SALvE.-Two quarts raw lin
seed oil, three pounds good rosin, three
pounds of beeswax. Melt thoroughly
together and turn into tin boxes. This
is the best salve known for burns,
scalds, flesh wounds, old sores, piles,
etc. To make small quantities the
same proportion as above required.
CHOCOLATE CARAMELs. One pint new
milk, one cake chocolate (one-quarter
pound n cup and a half sugar
(white). Try this OF a buttered plate,
rs 1T will not crisp In water, and when
done pour on buttered pans and mark
off in squares with a knife as it cools,
and then it will easily break when cold.
They are very excellent.
REMEDY FOR CRoUP.-This remedy is
simply alum Take a knife or CRATER
and shave or CRATE off in small particles
about a tablespoonful of alum, mix it
with about twice the quantity of sugar
Or honey or make it pala.able, and ad
minister as quickly as possible. The
doses should be separated at intervals
of fifteen minutes. until the phlegm is
cut and cast of. This will give almost
immediate relief. The patient should
also battle his feet in hot water and APP
ply cloths wet in cold water to the
throat and chest, changing as often as
they get warm.
VINEGAR CANpY.-One cup white
sugar one-half cup vinegar boil till
it crisps in cold water. This makes an
excellent candy, and something bene-
fetal also, as it is good for colds. If
the vinegar be very strong, take a little
less of it, and some water, but for us
the strength of the vinegar never hurts.
When done pour ont on buttered plates,
and either mark off IN squares an inch
or two wide as it cools, or else, when
cool enough to handle, draw it until it
is nice and white /; then cut it into
sticks.
SUGAREp POP CoRN.-This delights
all children, and is within the reach of
everyone. One emp sugar (white) /;
half cup water /; boil till it t~affies, then
sprinkle in the pop corn, as much as the
pan will hold If nicely popped, this
will sugar two quarts of corn. Stir
well, so that it does not stick together /;
the grains ought to separate. To make
pop corn balls, take the receipt for
"mossies," and boil ii till it taffies,
then stir in your corn and set it from
the fire, and as it cools work it into balls
with your hands. OF course they are
not like those You buy in the cities, but
for homemade they are excellent

LIBERALITY OF PHYsICIASs.- has

LuBERALITY OF PHYsICIANs.-It has
ALWAYS been said that physicians would dls-
parage any remedy, however valuable, which
they did not originate themselves. This has
been di.proved by their liberal course towards
DIR. ]. C. AYERS preparations. They have
adopted them into general use in their Prac-
tice, which shows a Willingness to countenance
articles that have intrinsic merits which de,
serve their attention. This does the learned
profession great credit, and efIectually con-
tradicts the prevalent erroneous notion that
their opposition to proprietary remedies Is
based in their interest to discard them. We
have always had confidence in the honorable
motives Of our medical men. and are glad to
find it sustained 10y the liberal welcome they
accord to such remedies as AVER 4 Co.'S inim-
liable remedies. even though they are not or
dered in the books, but are made known to
the people through the newspapers.-Ne,c
