Many Dollar formerly spent on expen-
sive SULPHUR Baths is now saved by substit-
uting therefor Glen's Sulphur Soap, which
is just as beneficial but Infinitely cheaper.
Local diseases of the skin. rheumatism and
govt are all relieved by this standard re-
medy. Complexional bemishes are era
dicated by it, aud it imparts to the cuticle
nearly witness and velvety softne:s
which greatly enhance the effect of female
charms. Its soothing, antiphlogistic action
constitutes it prime remedy for sores,
ulcers. ruts; sprains. scalds, bruises, and
in fact every abnormal condition of the
cuticle attended by Inflammation, swelling
or itching, Ladies moving in our best So
ciety speak of its identifying properties in
enthusiastic terms, and give it decided
preference to cosmetics which merely con-
ceal but do not, like Glenn's Sulphur Soap,
eradicate defects of the complexion. The
use of ointments for eruptive complaints
is to be deprecated because of their having
a tendency to clog the pores and in some
cases to aggravate rather than remedy the
disease. They are besides, seldom
thorough enough in their effects to prevent
the recurrence OF eruptioDs of an inveter
ate type, AID have the disadvantage o.
soiline the l.nen of persons vino use them
Glenn's Sulphur Soap, on the contrary
radically cures the diseases to which it il
adapted and still further recommends it
selfon occount of Its cleanliness. It's be
sides, an admirable disinfectant of clothins
which has been worn by persons offlicteC
with diseases of contagious nature. Al
a specific preventive aud promoter of thu
general health it presents advantages o
the most unequivocal description.

ALEXANDER HAMrLroN's PRAYER

Mr.. John e. Hamilton, a son of
Alexander Hamilton gives cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia
Times this touching incident of his
father: "My fathers residence
was in the country, towards the
north of New York Island. His
law office in the city was rather a
shabby affair. The day before the
duel | was sitting IN room, when,
at slight noise, | turned around
and saw my father in the doorway,
standing silently there and looking
at me with a most sweet and beau
tiful expression of rountenance. 1t
was full of tenderness, and without
any of the business pre-occupation
he sometimes had. John, J" he
said, when | had discovered him,
"won't you come and sleep with
me tonight 2" His voice was
frank, as if he had been my brother
instead of my father. That night
l went to his bed, and in the morn
ing very early he awakened me,
and taking my hands in his palms
all four hands extended, he said
and told me to repeat tho Lords
Prayer. Seventy-five years have
since passed over my head, and
have forgotten many things, bu
not that tender expression Shen he
STOOD looking at me i'll the door
for the prayer We made togethel

Leon stripped of his clothes,
wrung the water out OF them into
the cask and as fast as they became
wet repeated the operation in this
way several gallons of water was
saved before the rain ceased fall
ing.
When the sun rose Leon refresh.
ed himself with hearty meal OF
oysters and eggs, then resumed his
efforts to find water by digging
on the second day he was success
ful the wafer was fit to drink
though somewhat brackish.
Having secured an unfaiIing sup
ply Of water, Leon made a rude
shelter of drift wood, hoisted his
shirt on pole as a signal of dis
tress, kept a fire burning during
the night for the same purpose,
fished, and looked out for vessels.
Occasionally he saw sails IN the
distance, but none came near him
the water around the island is
shallow and vessels generally gave
it a wide berth.
Day after day passed without
any relief coming, and Leon began
to despair.
Two months had elapsed, when
one night there was violent storm.
Icons hut was blown to pieces,
and wide sheets Of spray swept
over the island.
The wind was so furious, that all
night long Leon lay fat on the
sand, listening to the roar of the
storm. every moment fearing that
a huge wave would break over the
island and sweep him into eternity.
But the storm passed, and as
SOON as it was light he arose, and
looked around him.
Upon the beach, turned bottom
upwards, he saw a boat which had
been cast ashore.
He FASTENED towards it, recog-
nized it as the GRE in which he
owned half interest, aud under
one side of it found Pedro Nunez,
crushed to death.
By strange fatality, the man
who heartlessly left Leon to die,
had been driven ashore by the
storm, and killed almost at the feet
of his intended victim.
The mast had been broken in
two, but was still held by the rig
ging. otherwise the boat was unin.
jured.
There were nails and hatchet
in the locker Leon repaired the
mast, spliced the rigging, and by
evening had everything ready to
leave the island; bat as the sea
was still quite rough, concluded to
wait until the next day before he
started.
In the morning he LAUGHED the
boat, with the body of Pedro in it
and sailed for home with a favorine
wind.
There was more than Mint
DAYS wonder excited In Conchtown
when, late that,afternoon, the boa
| glided into the cove, and the peo-
pie saw that it was steered by Leon
who was mourned rs dead, anC
contained the corpse of Pedro.
Leon was the lion of the hour
the faithful Anita recovered he
health and spirits, and they wer'
married.

Round the coast of the island OF
Ceylon, in the Indian Ocean, may
found musical fish. Their song
if it can be called song-is not one
sustained, nor like birds, but "
multitude of tiny, soft, sweet sounds,
each clear and distinct in itself,
something like the vibrations OF
wine glass when its rim is rubbed
by moistened finger. In the har'
Dor of Bombay there is another
species Of fish, producing sound
like an Eolian harp.
