Got What He needed.

A bad boy thus describes his misdeeds and
their punishment: My sister En- has got Teller
who has been coming to see her most every night
for some time. Night before last, just to have a
little fun, went into the parlor and crawled
under the sofa on the sly, and waited there
till he and En- had got settled; and just as BIO
was asking her if she was willing to become his
dear partner for life, and trust to his strong right
arm FOR protection and support, gave three red
hot Indian war-whoops, and bumped myself up
against the bottom of the sofa, aud fired off an
old horse-pistol that had borrowed of Sam
johnson, aud my gracious! how that fellow
jumped and scoted for the door! He never stop
ped to get his hat, but went tumbling head over
heels down the door steps, As for En-, she was
just that scared that she squattod right down on
the floor and screeched like blue blazes, till dad
and mother came running in, with nothing on
but their night clothes, and wanted to know
what the matter was. But EN- only yelled loud
er, and kept pointing under the sofa, till dad got
down on his knees and saw me there, and pulled
me out by the hind leg When he got me out in
the woodshsd, he warped me over his knees !;
and he went at me with an old trunk strap, and
haven't got over it nicely yet.

How TO MEND Table ware.

To fasten knife handles, set the handle upon
end, fill the cavity with pulverized rosin, then
warm the small part of the knife or fork and in
ssrt 1t slowly, crowd it down firmly, and bold il
In right position till the rosin cools enough TO
net. As rosin is not soluble in water hot cold,
the knives are not loosened. Glue or any other
ccmenting material soluble in water is not avail
able. Glue may be made to resist water, how
ever, BY putting two ounces of il In pint OF
skinned milk, and evaporating the mixture
to proper consistency for use.
The following is O cement / prefer to rosin,
but is not 30 cheap and handy: one,io
pound of colophony-which may be found az al
most any drug store-two ounces Of SUI pnut'
melted together; mold into bars, and when want
ed to use, powder sufficient quantity for use, and
mix with half part of iron filings or brick dust,
then use same as the rosin. This makes very
fine and lasting cement.
Where ivory handles have become yellow,
they may be restored by soaking few hours in
. wasery solution of sulPhurons acid: The acid
in a gaseous state should not be used, as 1t will
be likely to make the handles crack.

sisfepcy little thicker than it usually is when
spread with q brush; bind the article closely,
aud allow it to stand until perfectly dry before
putting to use again. Nothing is gained by set
ting the repaired article where it is hot, for the
power of the cement is greatly lessened by this
operation. When purchasing the paint, be sure

A gentleman who stammered firm childhood
almost mp to manhood gives q very simple REM
edy for the misfortune: $50 into a room where
yod will be quiet and alone, get book that will
interest but not excite you, and sit down and
read two hours sloud to yourself, keeping your
teeth together. Do the same thing every two or
three days, or once week if very tiresome, al
ways taking care to read slo WY and distinctly
moving the lips but not the teeth. Then, when
converting with Others, try to speak as slowly
and distinctly q possible, and mako up your
mind that you will not stammer. Well, tried
this remedy, not having much faith in it, 1 must
confess, but willing to do anything to cure my
self of sush an annoying difficulty. ! read for
two hours aloud with my teeth togethea. The
FIRST result was to mako my tongue and jaws
ache, that 10, while I was reading, and the next
to make me feel as though something had loos-
ened my talking apparatus, for could speak
with less difficulty Immediately. The change
was so great that every one who knew me re-
marked It. repeated the remedy every five or
six days for q month, and then at longer inter
walls until cured.

Kerosene for Bald Heads.

And now comes another use for petroleum
Consul Stephens, in his report on the trade Of
Nicolaleff during the past year, states that that
part of South Russia continues free from cattle
plague. But his attention was drawn in Sum
mer to the sudden badness of oxen and cows
and the loss of tails and names among horses
He recollected that former servant of his, pre-
maturely bald, had got the habit, when trim
ming the lamps of wiping his petroleum be-
smeared hands in the scanty locks which remain
ed to him, and the result was a much finer head
Of black glossy hair than he ever had before. At
the ConsuPs suggestion, the owner of severa
black cattle and horses affected as above men,
toned tried the remedy, and found that it effect
ed quick and radical cure. The Consul observ-
ed that the petroleum should be of the most re.
fined qualities, and he rubbed in vigorously and
quickly with the palm of the hand at intervals
Of three days, six or seven times in all.

AT dinner party there were two sisters pres.
ent, one widow who had just emerged from her
weeds, the other not long married, whose hus
band had lately gone out to India for short
term. A. young barrister- present was deputed
to take the widow down to dinner. Unfortu.
nately he was under the impression that his
partner was the married lady whose husband
had just arrived in India. The conversation be-
tween them began with the lady's remarkins
how extremely hot it was. "Yes it is very hot, y
returned the young barrister. Then q happy
thought suggested itself to him, and he added
with cheerful smile, But not so hot as the
place to which your husband has gone" The
look with which the widow answered this "hap-
py thought" will haunt that young barrister till
the day of his death.

An AmecdOte.

1t was town in Wurtemburg. In front Of the
courthouse Of said town there was . little bill
that had been there since time immemorable
but nobody had any objection to its existence
whatever. But as civilization spread its gentle
wings over this place of the planet, people
thought it advisable to have it removed. Cit.
zens therefore applied to the sage burgomaster
He called meeting and submitted the petition
they talked, and listened, and counseied and adj
vised, till finally the burgomaster in his infinite
wisdom placed his right forefnger alongside Of
bis extensive nose, pondered awhile, and then
said: Gentlemen have it." The neighbor
told this fact to his neighbor, aud SO along the
whole court room, till finally profuud silence
regned supreme. Said his honor; Gentlemen,
in order to remove this hill, advise you to have
dug q hole on yonder corner and throw the hill
into it." Silence eusued. But whether this opin.
ion was filed and put into effect our informant
did not tell.

it would be better to let the cobs lay awhile

LIVER PILLS,
Hepatits or Liver Complaint,
pYsPEPsIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under theedge
of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side; the
patient is rarely able to Lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder-blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
ingeneral are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation Of
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains ola
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
determination ofthe body, afterdeath,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.
