F." Taking Time by the Forclock."

Coming events cast their shadows
before, and already, through the mists
of months, tho gladstone Holiday sea-
son looms clearer day by day, filling
the youthful mind with pleasing spec
ulation, and causing materfamilias to
consider in what direction she can ex-
ercise a little additional economy
whereby the money for presents may
be forthcoming when required. And
just in the nick of time there comes to
hand suggestion of how johnny, and
Mamie, and Flossie, and Charley, may
secure for themselves and by their
own exertions, the jack knives and
work boxes, and writing cases, and
tool chests, for which their souls are
longing; of how mamma may get that
book or parlor ornament she has talk
ed about so often; and of how, by
their united exertions they may obtain
a present wherewith to surprise and
gladden. the heart of papa. For the
publishers of Ehrich's Fashion Quar-
terly are in the field with the new pre-
MUM list of their Magazine and all
that mamma or children for papa Ell
ther for that matter) need do, is to
send name and address on a postal
card to Messrs. Enrich & Co., of 2S7'
Eighth Avenue, New York. when "a
copy of the list will he mailed them
free, and they can appreciate for them
selves the many advantages offered.
The Fashion Quarterly SO exactly
fills its place us Il guide to economy in
the household, and its subscription
price, only so cents year, is so very
tritlng, that little difficulty should be
experienced in securing subscriptions /;
and we have no doubt that thousands
will gladly avail themselves of the op-
portunity thus presented of securing
some usetu! article at moderate eX
pense of time and trouble.

A QUEER case is reported in the
Hospital Gazette of Paris. A doctor
was called to see a patient dying from
cholera. In order to discourage the
man the doctor prescribed three doses
of ipecac powder to be given every
half hour. The nurse misunderstood
the directions, and instead of giving
the drug by the mouth gave it as a
snuff; this produced a violent sneezing,
which was followed by favorable re-
action. The circulation was quickened,
the skin was warmed, and the patient
was on the way to recovery. When
the doctor called next day he was
amazed to find how he had taken his
medicine, aud that he was out of dan.

With Loves freshest, purest flowers,

NEW THIS DAY.
Symptoms Of a DiseasedLiver

DAM in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; 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 extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss Of appe-
tite and sickness; Che bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of men,
DRY, accompanied with painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer.
else 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 of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
