Post No Bills Here.

Mr.. Editor Permit me to call
attention through your paper to the
habit of our merchants and others,
who have public notices to post, of
placing them in the hands of boys
who go around town posting them on
every convenient object, regardless of
the nature of the property, or to whom
it belongs. | have seen bills posted
on the gates leading into private resi-
dences, as we'll as ON tn outbuildings
belonging to the same property. And
still worse is the practice of some mer-
chants who really paint on the fences
surrounding private property-"go TO
- for - Sc. For instance,
you have no doubt observed painted
on many of our fences "for boots and
shoes, 60 to -" Now, the object
of this communication is to notify all
who have bills, &c, to post, that pri-
vate property is not to be used as pub
lie bulletins without the consent OF
the owner, and will not therefore be
tolerated any longer. SIRRAH.

We have received a copy of Mr..
Wright's (Pa.) bill, now before Con,

loan Of $l0,00O,O0O to homestead set
tiers on the public domain of five
hundl ed dollars each, secured on the
homestead, at rate of three per cent.
ler annum interest. The intention
Of the bill is evidently good, and if it
becomes a law will doubtless confer
great benefit upon thousands of peo-
pie. But the provision which limits
its availability only to persons worth
less than $500, seems to strip it Of
much of its merit. The removal Of
many poor families to remote sections
would leave very little of $500 for the
important purposes Ct building, set
ting up housekeeping, and fitting out
the farm, all of which, on the part Of
the government, looks a little like in.
wiling helpless people into exile.
The limit ought to be raised to $500
at least, that larger number of peo-
pie may be reached, for it is quite i'm
portant to overcrowded communities,
like ours, that as many go as practi-
cable. In this way the movement
will be advantageous to those also
who are unable to go.

ELSEWHERE "Sirrah" puts in a
heavy stroke against the bad practice
of posting bills anywhere and every
where. He thinks private property
ought to be held sacred from such
proclamation. But will "Sirrah'' in
form us what properties in town are
not private? The lookup and school
building are the only public institu-
tions we know of, and we dare say il
"Sirrah" projects any diversion which
contemplates them as proper handful
galleries or studios, some guardian Of
the fitness of things viii arrest his
downward career. So, where shall
people post bills if not upon the re-
vered gateway, loved fence, admired
stable, or cherished hen-coop? Will
"Sirrah" still protest? And is the
merchant to lose sale of his goods, the
constable and sheriff their revenues
from distraints and executions, the
emigrant householder the disposal of
"other articles too numerous to men
ton ?" Is the bill-postel to lose his
occupation and his ricLes take wings
and flap away? And is the auctioneer
to be thrown slap bang into tattered
vagrancy, or upon the cold charities
of an unfeeling world? Forsooth,
"S-i-r-r--A-H!" Besides, our
friend should remember that 1t is a
very serious offence to law and the
public welfare to mutilate or displace
bills, although found sticking to his
property. In fact, for the time being
they constitute so many liens, mort
cages, judgments, or condemnations
rather, Of said estate, irremoyable I'M
til every jot and little be fulfilled. 1t
Is matter Of grave question whether a
fence-plank embellished with the
beautiful legend Of go to - for
the best whisky" can be removed by
its owner, no matter if he is a red-hot
local optionist. 1t is said of planter
in Tennessee who owned a pleasant
grotto amid the sylvan shades of a
neighboring forest, whittier he, with
his many children, resorted from the
sultry heat of the day, that he found
a pet stone adorned with the cheering
inscription, "Use IS worm syrup
children cry for it" Knowing that
nature unadorned is adorned the
most, and that his stone was not now
his stone, he sought to recover it by
removal to an adjoining state, where
he could safely etface the distortion.
The enterprising advertiser got wind
OF the movement and effectively pre-
served his acquired title by a writ of
foreign attachment. This citation, if
true, will show "Sirrah" that his case
is hopeless, and the best thing he can
do is to buy a double-barreled shot
gun persuader, march around his
premises day and night, and at the
muzzle of his adviser force the vandals
to insert their announcements in the
JOURNAL, or die right there.

Medical Hints.

Teas for the Sick Room.-Dried
leaves Of sage, half ounce; boiling
water, one quart; steep for three
quarters of an hour and then
strain for use; add sugar to suit
the taste. Peppermint, spearmint,
balm, hourhound and other herb
teas are made in the same way.
Cure for Chronic Rheumatism
De. Bonnet, of Graulbet, France,
recommends and prescribes for
chronic rheumatism the use of the
essential oil of turpentine by fric-
ton. He used it himself with per-
feet success, having almost instan-
taneously got rid of rheumatic
pains in both knees and in the left
shoulder.
Relief for Croup.-CrOup can he
cured in three minutes, and the
remedy is simply alum and sugar.
The way to accomplish the deed is
to take knife or crater and shave
off in small particles about tea
spoonful of alum; then mix it with
twice its quantity of sugar, to make
it palatable, and administer it as
quickly as possible. Almost in
Simultaneous relief will follow.
For Scald- Head. Here is cure
for scald- head, but it must be APP
piled several times: Take equal
parts of good pine tar and new
mutton tallow, melt just enough
to mix well, then add few drops
of sweet oil to make it soft If
sweet oil is not handy, hens oil or
pigs foot oil will do); don't shave
the head, but just open the hair
and apply to the skin. If there is
scab, apply to that and it will
soon heal and come off.
Asthma.-This prescription was
given a correspondent by Hon. L. u.
French, of the U. S. Treasury De-
partment f: Iodide of potassium,
two drains; tincture of lobelia, half
an ounce; syrup of senega, two

lieved. The above cured The geu-

Faces and Strings.

Did you ever see a gutta-percha
or rubber face? And did you ever
amuse yourself with pinching it
one way and pulling it another,
and seeing what different express
sions 1t will put on? When you
cease pulling and pinching it, it
returns to the same face it was
before.
Nov, your little faces are softer
than gutta-percna, children, and
they are full of little strings called
muscles and the little muscles
pull them one way and pull them
another, just according to your
feelings. Sometimes you may feel
grieved or sad, and tue little mus
cles pull your face into a very dole
lul expression, aud We know by
looking at you just how YOU feel.
Sometimes you feel pleased on mer-
~, aud the little muscles pull your
faces into smiles and dinples.
But often there are wicked pas
sions as work at the strings. Az
ger pulls, and Oh ! what disa-
greeable look the face pts or III II
minute Pride pulls the strings,
or vanity, or envy, or discomfort,
or deceit, and each brings Its own
expression over the face.
Ihe worst of 1t is, that when
these passions pull yerv often, the
face does not return 10 what 1t was
before, but the muscles harden
and retain that ugly expression.
BY indulglnG III eyli passions, peo-
pie may work their faces mp into
such awful faces, that sometimes
when you meet man in the street
YOU can tell, just by locking at MS
face, what HE character Is.
A face that WAS very lovely when
/ it was that of IL child, has had the
passion of aoger pulling at 1t SO
often that it always wears d suilen,
cross dissatisfied, look. Or If IA
man has learned to love to hoard
up money for IFS own sake, ms
face gets a mean, grasping look,
and we say when we pass him,
There goes miser. Or If be
learned to lie and steal, he cann"t
make his face that of ii truthful,
honest man.
Dear children, Go you want to
have pleasant faces that every
body VIII love to look at? The1,

hands of love and charity, good

sweeter to look at than the most
perfect features that ever were

oppression. And what makes the

upon whether the bad passions Oh
