CoRNs AND WARTs.-A correspon.

"For more than year preceding last
August was sorely afflicted with a
large corn on the ball of my left foot,
so much so that at times I was al
most unable to walk, and then only
by being terribly tortured by the
corn. I also had large wart right
in the palm of my left hand, that
was very much in my way and at
times very painful. / used various
remedies in vain. In August I hit
upon cure for both. 1t was sim
pie application of wood (hickory)
ashes and strong cider vinegar suffi-
cient to moisten. I kept it on SO
hours, when I found all pain had
ceased, both being entirely destroy
ed. then could wear my boot, and
by small application every night of
beef tallow in one month all the hard
substance that had formed around
the corn had been removed. There
is now no trace left of either the
corn or wart." .a. i.s .a,,s a.t

The Court in the Ellenton, S. c.,
trial was convulsed with laughter by
the quaint talk ola singular type of
African named Frederick Jones. He
was about 60 or 20 years of age, not
more than five feet high, short legged
and straight-bodied. He lived on ode
hard scramble road" near Rouse's
bridge; and on this Sunday was going
to meeting, for there we're to be three
funerals preached. On his way he saw
a cluster of men riding up and down
the road, and carrying guns. He got
scared, and when they happened to
come close to him, he ran, but they
hemmed him 10, and he was captured
and taken to Mr.. Dickson Owens
Then he told his story about as fol-
lows: sa.-..... .... q

Last Prayers.

Last prayers, like last sayings Of
all kinds, take a tenacious hold on
the memories of friends. Usually
uttered under circumstances of deep
solemnity, they come directly from
from the heart, unmixed
with baser matter. Witness the last
prayer Of Oliver Cromwell, noted
down BY watchers at his dying bed:
Lord! though / am miserable and
wretched creature, / am in covenant
with Thee through grace. And l
may, I will come to Thee for thy
people. Thou hast made me, though
very unworthy, mean instrument
to do them some good, and Thee ser
vice; and many Of them have set too
high value upon me, though others
wish and would be glad of my death.
Lord, however Thou do dispose of
me, continue and go on to do good
for them. Give them consistency of
judgment, one heart, and mutual
love; and 60 on to deliver them, and
with the work of reformation; and
make the name of Christ glorious to
the world. Teach those who look
too much On Thy instruments to de.
pend more upon Thyself. Pardon
such as desire to trample upon the
dust of a poor worm, for they are
Thy people too. And pardon the
folly of this short prayer, even for
Jesus Christ's sake. And give US a
good night, if it be Thy pleasure.
Amen. :, .-.e--. --
Of the earnest sincerity of Crom.
well there can be no doubt. He knew
that his earthly career was drawing
near its close when he thus wrestled
with the Lord for the people that be
loved. s.r

! Some ten years ago, two brothers
left their home In Illinois and vent to
California. The elder was q man of
the most steady habits, and had re-
ceived a good business education, but
the younger was inclined to be dissi-
passed, and, indeed, had figured in so
many scrapes at homo that his depar-
ture was not regretted in his native
village. The two brothers lived for
short time in San Francisco while they
looked for situations. The younger
brother, however, tell into bad compa-
ny, add they separated by mutual con-
sent. The elder brother obtained a
situation in a wholesale store as porter
and by his diligence and steadiness so
worked himself into the confidence of
his employers that he rose from the
position of porter to that of partner in
the firm. He lately purchased q house
in Brush Street, married lady with a
considerable fortune of her own, and
on last Christmas Eve he Isaw
three beautiful children around him
enjoying the delights of q Christmas
tree. The family retired at midnight,
but the gentleman hardly closed his
eyes when he was awakened by a
noise down stairs, and moving stealth.
lily to the parlor with. a revolver in his
hand, he saw man epdeavcring to
open the buffet where he kept lis sill

thiefs head, exclaimed, "Stop, or
you're a dead man." The jimmy
dropped from the hands ofthe burglar,
who falling on his knees, cried out,
Gas God is my judge, Robert, did
not know that you lived here" The
gentleman then discovered to his hor-
ror that the burglar whom he was
abont to shoot was the younger broth
or whom he had not met for nearly ten
years. That night the burglar slept
under the roof of his forgiving broth
er, who assured a friend, with tears in
his eyes, that he Was about to give
him employment in his own store, aud
that he had never in his life spent a
happier Christmas. [San Francisco

PRoFANIrY.-Laws against swearing
were strictly enforced during the times
of the commonwealth, and with the
largest possible Interpretation against
the accused. We are reminded of the
reproof that Sir Walter Scott put into
the mouth of Cromwell-"What can it
avail thee to practice profanity so
horrible to the ears of others, and
Which brings no emolument to him
who uses it. Z" Every oath was count
ed. For single oath the fine was 6s
Sd, but the charge was reduced to Be-
4d each con taking quantity."-
Humphrey Trevett, for swearing ten
oaths, was committed till he pay 33s
Id to the poor of Hartford. John
Huishe, of Cherlton, was convicted for
swearing twenty-one oaths and two
curses at one time, and four oaths and
one curse at another time. OF course,
the greater number of these cases were
disposed Of at petty sessions without
being sent for trial. Que Justice re-
turned the names of ten persons whom
he had convicted of swearing since the
previous sessions. We are not left
without examples of what was consid-
cred swearing in those days. William
Hearding, of Chittlehampton, for say
ing two several times in Court "Upon
my life," was adjudged to be within
the act of swearing, for which he paid
Is Sd. Thomas Butland was fined for
swearing "On my troath." Gilbert
Northcott had to pay 81 id for saying
"Upon my life" Thomas Courts was
fined for swearing in court "God is my
Witness" and ~ speak in the presence
of God.' Christopher Gill, 6eing re-.
proved by Mr.. Nathaniel Daraut, clerk,
"for having used the oath, Gods life,
in DISCOURSE" went aud informed
against the minister himself for swear
