Cure for Dlpntherla.

The rage of diphtheria in Austria
lila, has been so extensive within the
last two years, that the government
offered a large reward to any certain
method of its cure, and among other
responses to this, was one by Mr..
Greathead, who, at first kept the
method secret, but afterwards com
muuicated it freely to the public. 1t
is simply the use of sulphurie acid, of
which four drops are diluted in three
fourths of a tumbler Of water, to be
administered to a grown person, and a
smaller dose to children, at intervals
not specified. The result is said to be

A Stroke Of Luck.

A short time ago, a Richmond beg.
gar woman died, leaving q husband
somewhat notorious for his bad habits
so bad. indeed, that the two had
lived apart for years. When few
charitable neighbOrs came to lay the
body out for burial, half-d0zen bags
aud boxes were found in the squalid
room, and opened by the curious visi
tors. In them were found costly laces,
widowed silks, brOcades. MORE an-
tiQues aud other styles in vogue twenty
years ago, besides some four or FIVE
thousand dollars in gold or currency.
The husband was probably the most
surprised person in Richmond at this
unlocked for discovery, but he prompt
~ announced that he would treat the
old lady to a frst-class funeral, which
hc did by the aid of a handsome burial
casket. forty hacks, and an imposing
headstone for the grave. Then he
gathered in the remaining dncats-
being the only heir-and betook HIM
self 10 the Hot Springs of Virginia
where he announced his intention of
spending the summer.

The latter Is only the expression of

who allows himself to use one vulgar
or profane word, has not only shown
there is a foul spot upon his mind, but
by the appearance Of that word he ex-

the tongue that no improper words are
pronounced by it, you will soon be
able to control the mind aud save it
from corruption. You extinguish the
fire by smothering it, or by preventing
bad thoughts from bursting into Ian

Dr. Iohnson,s Sentiments


There is nothing too little for so
little 4 creature as man. It is by
studying little things that we attain
the great art of having less misery and
as much happiness as possible.
A man has no more right to say an
uncivil thing than to act one no more
right 10 say a rude thing than to knock
one down.
Fame Is a shuttlecock. If it be
struck only at one end of the room it
will soon fall to the ground. To keep
it I'D it must be struck at both ends.
No money is better spent than what
is laid out for domestic satisfaction.
A man is pleased that his wife is as
we'll dressed as other people; and a
wife is happy that she is we'll dressed.
Adventurous accomplishments may
be possessed by all ranks but one
NAV distinguish the born gentleman.
Sunday should be different from
other days. People may walk but not
throw stones at birds There may be
relaxation but no levity.
I have always considered a clergy
man as a father Of larger family than
he is able 20 maintain. / would rather
have chancery suits upon my hands
than the cure of souls. | do not envy
clergyman's life as an easy life, nor
DO | envy the clergyman who makes 1t
an easy life.

ride ever the Woonsoeket branch of
the New York and New England Rail-
road, and had been greatly annoyed by
having packages stolen from him in
the cars, concluded to trap the thief.
He procured long striped snake, put
him in a collar-box and on entering

Soon a portly old lady came putting
into the car and took seat beside the
gentleman in question, who was appa-

disappeared under her shawl, and her
curiosity soon led her to open the box
to look at her prize. and the snake
