Undesirable Plnnder.

A short time ago, having occasion to confer with city firm on the subject of dynamite, London man took with him parcel of cartridges of that compound: On completing his business and return ing westward, he took his seat in an om- nibus, carrying the parcel of dynamite in his hand, the cartridges being made up in small packages not unlike rolls of silver. He placed the parcel on the seat beside him, and for a considerable por- tion of the journey kept his hand upon it, and otherwise manifested concern not unnatural considering his knowledge of the nature of the substance under his charge. But as the bus rolled on he fell into state of mental abstraction, in the course of which he must have relin- quished his jealous hold of the brown paper parcel. At any rate, when he reached his journeys end he found that the parcel was gone. What became of 1t IS matter that concerns many more people than the original holder of the sample. The thief, on opening his treasure, would discover, in place of & few pounds worth of silver, @ number of rolls of yellowish, clayed substance. What did he do with it Did he throw 1t aside in the open street in disgust, or is it still lying about his domestic prem ises till some one shall throw it at the back of the fre9 We are not likely to have any information volunteered on this subject. But it is, at least, an in teresting addition to miscellaneous knowledge to know that there is knock ing about in London an unconsidered trife containing within itself latent force suf6 cient to tumble down half that l city.

The Harem.

Exaggerated notions are current about harems and harem receptions, notions born partly of the seclusion of the fe male portion of the household in the East. Of course the maj jority of harems in Egypt are simply the apartment of the one wife and her children. The lady who enters one of them pays an ordi- nary call, and finds no mystery what ever. If there is more than one wife, a privileged visitor, able to converse with the inmates, might find some skeletons behind the screened windows. It is also true that a foreign lady may enter one of the royal harems and be received with scarcely more ceremony than would at tend an ordinary call at home. The re- captions, at which there is great dis play at which crowds of beautiful or ugly slaves line the apartments, at which there is music and dancing by almehs, an endless service of sweets and pipes and coffee, and a dozen changes of dress by the hostess during the ceremony, are | ot frequent, are fol special occasions, the celebration of marriage or the entertainment of visi tor of high rank. One who expects upon 8 royal invitation to the harem, tc wander into the populous dove-cote ot the khedive, where languish the beau ties of Asia, the sisters from the gardens of Gul, pining for new robe of tho mode from Paris, will be most cruelty disappointed.

Unlimited Remedial Resources.

People sometimes suppose that Dr. Pieroe's family medicines represent the entire extent Of his resources for curing disease This is an error. Experience proved that while the Col den Medical Discovery, Favorite Prescription, Pleasant Purgative Pellets, Compound Extract of smart Weed, and Dr. Ssge's Catarrh Reme- dy, would, if faithfully used, cure large variety of chronic complaints there would be here and there & case which, from it's severity, or from it's complication with other disorders, would resist their action. These exceptional cases required thorough examination into their symptoms, to ascertain the exact nature and extent of the disease or diseases under which the patient was laboring, and the use of specific remedies to meet and overcome the same. This led to the establishment of the Worlds Dispensary, at Buffalo, N. Y., with it's faculty of physicians and surgeons, each of whom is skilled in the treatment of chronic disorders in general and those belonging to his own special department in particular. To one is assigned diseases of the throat and lungs to another, diseases of the kidneys and urogenital organs to another, diseases ot the digestive system to another, diseases of the nervous system and to another, diseases of the eye and ear, Thus the highest degree of perfection in medicine and surgery is attained. The establ shment of this institution enables the doctor to meet 6 long-felt want in the treat ment of the more severe chronic affections
 By 8 careful consideration of the symptoms as given in writing, he successfully treats thou sands of cases at their homes. Others visit the dispensary in person. The amplest re- sources for the treatment of lingering affec- tions are thus placed at the disposal of every patient, and those on whom the proprietary medicines do not have the desired effect can procure more thorough and efficient cours e by personal application to the proprietor of the Worlds Dispensary.

A Shower of Worms.

During a recent rain storm in Vir- ginia, New, there were showered down millions of small worms of the ordinary angleworm species. These worms were from three to four inches in length and quite slender. They came down alive and wriggling. The shower of worms only covered an area of about fifty yards square, but within this space they covered everything. There can be no doubt about these worms coming down from the heavens, as the balconies were so thickly strewn with them that they could be scraped up in handfuls. Buck cts, tubs and pans placed under the roofs of houses to catch the rain water also caught great numbers of the worms. The sidewalks in the neigh borhood were covered with them. The worms present the same appearance as the common angleworm, except that they are redder in color and are marked from end to end with small rings about one-sixteenth of an inch apart A great number of persons visited the locality and examined and speculated upon the vermicular shower. The prevailing opinion appeared to be that the worp1s had been sucked up by whirlwind from some swamp or pond and carried in the clouds to be finally deposited where they were found. The fact that the worms seemed to be more at home in water than on the ground gave some foundation for this theory. It is now said that similar shower of worms fel in the western part of the city some years ago.

Hints for Everybody,

The way to get credit is to be punctual the way to preserve it is not to use it much.
 Settle often have short accounts.
 Trust no mans appearance appear ance is deceitful, perhaps assumed for the purpose of obtaining credit.
 Beware of gaudy exterior roughs usually dress well. The rich are plain trust him, if any one, who carries but little on his back.
 Never trust him who flies into a pas sion on being dunned, but make him pay quickly, if there is any virtue in the law.
 Whenever you meet man who is pro foundly fond of argument, you will meet one profoundly ignorant of the operation of the human heart.
 Mind your own affairs; let all the errors you see in others management suggest correction in your own.

Dur ing the winter of 1858 was very much out of health, afflicted with severe cough, pain in the side and lungs, and 8 general depression of health, to such an extent as greatly to alarm myself and my friends as to the result.

Planting Trees.

There seems to be general desire at least in many parts of our country that this centennial year should witness the planting of numerous shade trees. Special efforts are being made in some New England towns to accomplish this result. The time for tree planting is at hand, and all who engage in this good work may have the satisfaction of feeling that they are doing a substantial service for coming generations. The beauty and healthfulness of many a city and village would be greatly increased by the addition of shade trees.
