Decking the Cross .

In Naples, on Christmas morn,
A priest the cross was dressing
With opening buds and flowers newborn,
When all her sins cOnfessing,
A beggar girl drew softly near,
And On the cross she dropped tear,
"Ahv' said the priest, tiny flowers are sweet
But, child, thine eyes have given
This blessed cross an offering meet
To the dear King OF heaven;
For can place no garland here
50 sweet as thy repentant tear!"4

Excitem ent snd short life.

The dcadliest foe to mans longevity
is an unnatural excitement. Every man
is born with certain stock of vitality
which cannot be increased, but which
may be husbanded or expended rapidly,
as he deems best. He who avoids stimu
lants, takes light exercise, never ovcrtasks
himself, feeds his mind and heart on no
exciting material, has no facilitating
pleasures, lets nothing rutfle his temper,
keeps his accounts with God and man
duly squared up" is sure, barring acct
dents, to spin out his life to the longest
limit which it is possible to attain; while
he who lives intensely, who feeds on high
seasoned food, whether material or NJ en-
tai, fatigues his body or brain by tor
hard labor, seeks continual excitement
gives loose rein to his passions, frets at
every trouble, and enjoys little repose, is
burning the candle at both ends, and is
sure to shorten bis days.

The best method of testing the vitality

portion of these which sprout and the

Having for a number Of years found
the extract of witch hazel or Hamamelis
ponds Extract), peculiarly e%ticacious
in allaying all inflammation, febule or
other, internal aud external, as also
promptly efficient in subdning pain. l
venture to suggest its use to- relieve the
terrible headaches and lumbos pains and
the burning fever between the shoulders,
in the arm pits and over the chest and
abdomen attendant on yellow fever. Say
to one part of the extract add two or
three parts of water, then apply BY soft
cloths, cotton or linen, to the part af
fected, keeping il moisteued. The heat
of the fever and the action Of the air
evaporating the moisture rapidly would
probably prove as seusitively cooling as
il ice was applied; if so, as 1t could be
done with less trouble, that itself would
be a great gain as we'll asless expensive;
but if, as l apprehend, it would be other
wise medically favorable, it may prove
very important. AS a drink too it might,
from the first, prove highly beneficial as
an anti.septic-say a teaspoonful of the
extract to half a tumbler of water at a
moderate temperature, perhaps rather
-HL
than ice-cold. These ideas are merely
suggestions. Should any one act upon
them the public would like to hear The
result detailed in any given case. Il
with good effect it may open up a mode
Of treatment less difficult than now gen.

PATIENT AT LARGE.
The yellow fever has its grotesque and
ludicrous incidents as we'll as so much
that is solemn and terrible. S9me gen.
tlemen had a hearty laugh this morning
at the expense Of a Main street mer-
chant, who is one Of the kind that is
rather easily worked up into a state Of
excitement, although it was hardly a
laughing matter. At an early hour this
morning the merchant was.sitting in the
door of the store reading a paper when
a mar came along dressed in q no5by
suit OF clothes and otherwise looked very
odd for such times as these. The
stranger came in and commenced talk.
ing so wildly that the merchant becom-
ing alarmed, persuaded him to take O
seat and ran out for help. The first mar
he met was a member Of the Towards,
who went to the store and instantly
recognized the stranger as one of Low.

been down with the yellow fever two Oh
three days. He was quite out of hii
head and his pulse was running ITO Q

that the merchant heartily seconded the
motion. 1t seems that the patient per

New York Herald's Bahia Letter.
Probably no part of the empireis
more afflicted than a portion of the
province of Bahia with the soourge
of vampires. Whole herds of cat
tie are sometimes destroyed by this
yenomous bat, 1t was long a mat
ter Of conjecture how the animal
accomplished the insidious and.
deadly work; but scientific men have
now decided that the tongue, which
is capable Of considerable extension.
is furnished at its extremity with a
number of papill@, which are so
arranged as 60 form an organ of
suction, the lips having also tuber
Giles symmetrically arranged. Fast
ening themselves on cattle these
dreadful animals can draw the life
blood from their victims. The
wound made, probably 10y the small
needle.like teeth, is a fine, round
hole, the bleeding from which it is
difficult to stop. 1t is said that the
wings Of this deadly bat fly around,
during the operation Of wounding
and drawing the blood, with great
velocity, thus tanning the victim
aud lullihS while the terrible work
is in progress. Some Of these crea-
lures measure two feet between the
tips Of their wings, and they are
often found in great numbers in de-
serted dwellings in the outskirts of
this city. The negroes aud Indians
especially dread them, and there are
numerous superstitions among the
natives in regard to them.
