"reminiscences by a Clergyman,

Rev. John Leyburn, OF the Associate
Reformed Church, during his morning
sermon, on Sunday last, referred to the
death of Madame Bonaparte, and showed
the evil of putting off the one point OF life
until the evening was closing in upon III.
In an interview with Dir. Leyburn, ho
said that during 1860, when he was Ill
Paris, his rooms at the hotel adjoineG

Madame Bonaparte went ont driving
with Mrs. Leyburil, and during that
drive she saw Louis Napoleon, the Eni-
peror for the first time, and only time III

she was. and if he had. he would not have
recognized her At the same hotel

had then begun to dress shabbily in hey
old iinery. The Baroness looked with
contempt upon the little woman, but one
day the lady suddenly became very aitec

held aloof from the Baroness, saying
Now, she knows am relative Of the
Emperor, she wishes to be friends. but
see through her." DR.. Leybnrn said that
being in Paris refreshed her memory o.
the by-gone days, and her conversation
was better than any book published.
When she returned to this country thci,
acquaintance was kept mp, and Dir. Ley

Once one Of her sisters-in-law called and
began to talk about religion, when Mad

Sure Cure for DrnncnsIn.

Some years ago physician in New York
City published small book in which he gave
written certificates of marvellous cures of dys-
pepsia' His cures were mysterious and very
effective. He charged $500 for cure, and
his patients were most solemnIy pledged,
with much ceremony, to profound secrecy as to
the mode Of treatment. After the death of tho
doctor, some Of the patients felt themselves
absolved from tho obligation of secresy. and
one of them disclosed these facts: After cor
rectng some Of the moro grossly wrong
dietotic habits, he required each patient 10
spend ten or fifteen minutes In tho morning
at rising. in kneading, aud sapping his own
abdomen with precision. This was to extend
over the stomach bowels and liver. This
was repeated just before dinner again with
precision on going TO bed. The patient was
requested to be temperate and regular in all
his habits, exercise much in tho opon air,
aud attend most assduously to the slappng,
kncading and percussion of the whole abdo-
men and as the result, we are Informed that
malignant cases of indigestion, that had rc-
sisted all other remedies, yield to this Ia
every case of indigestion" says DIR. Lewis,
no matter what may be its character, sappng
tho bowels with the fiat of tho hands on rising
In the morning, four hours after break fast,
and In the evening on going to bed, Is excellent
treatment | cannot conceive of case Of
chronic indigestion which such manipulation
would not relieve. fla person is so weak that
he cannot perform these slappings aud knead-
ings for himself, then the hands of u discreet
person should be employed" IL is marvellous
how stomach, soro and sensitive at first, and
hardly able TO bear a touch, will strengthen
under these operations, aud bear, for a short
ume with pleasure pretty rough handling.

The custom officers at Liverpool the other
day were examining the baggage of passengers.
A handsome, richly attired gentleman, with
retinue of servants pushed his way forward

the captain of the vessel rushed forward
breathless with excitement.

And then the captain, bowling to the owner
of the trunks, gave orders to have them re-
moved at once. As the gentleman, with his
servants in the rear walked down the gang
