ring to the Persian ruler, Fath-Ali-

Sir Hartford Jones, was stopped in his
journey y u messenger from the court,
and desired not to enter the capital,
where French interests were then para
mount. After Sir Hartford had exhaust
ed every argument to show that he
ought to be received, without making
any impression on the Persian Khan, he
said: Well, if it must be so, | shall
return, but this must go with me, and
he took from his poke; the beautiful
diamond which had been sent for tire

SETTLING A KNoTTY PoINT.-A mcr-
chant once had Il dispute with Il Qna-
ker respecting the settlement of an ac-
count. The merchant was determined
to bring the matter into court, Il pro-
cstly deprecated, using every argument
IN his power to convince him of his er-
ror: but he was intiexible. DESTROYS to
make last effort, the Quaker called ut
his house one morning. and cnquircd
of the servant if his master was at home.
The merchant, hearing the enquiry and
knowing the voice, called out from the
top of the stairs
"Tell the rascal I am not at home"
The Quaker, quietly looking up at
him, calmly said
"Well, friend. the Lord put thee in a
better mind"
The merchant, afterward struck with
the Weakness Of the reply, and having
more deliberately investigated the mat
ter, became convinced that the Quaker
was right and himself wrong. He re-
quested to see him, and after acknowl-
cdging his error, he said
II have one question to ask YOU
how were you able, with such patience.

How TO STop CoUGlIISG.-In lee
tire in this city, the celebrated DIR.
Brown Sequard gave the following di-
rections, which may prove scrviceable
to persons troubled with nervous
cough. Coughing can be stopped by
pressing on the nerves Of the lip in the
neighborhooI of the nose. a pressure
there may prevent Il cough when it is
beginning. Sneezing may be stopped
by the same mechanism. Pressing, also.
in the ncighborhood of the ear may stop
coughing. Pressing very lard on the
top Of the mouth inside is also a means
of stopping coughing. And I may say
the will has immense power, too. There
was French surgeon who used to say,
whenever he entered the wards of the
hospital, The first patient who coughs
will be deprived OF food to-day. 1t
was exceedingly rare that patient
