A Sad Bathing Place.

A correspond ent of the London Globe. writing from Hall, an Austrian bad" (bath). says: The fearful ravages of these diseases meet one at every turn - here hvid wretch wrapped up and being drawn about in 8 wheeled chair; there some one painfully supporting himself on crutch; sadly sitting un- der this tree woman, her head ana face wrapped up, mass ot scrofula, and many equally lsathsome sights. Nu- merous are the suicides which here take place, for people put off coming till hope is gone, and when they find it too late go to some quiet corner and send bullet through their heads. But the saddest of sad sights is the children, of whom there are many suffering ln silence or crying with pain. No romp- ing here, no shouts of pleasure, no games in the fields, no rosy cheeks and sunburnt legs, but crooked limbs and suppurating wounds, 8 heritage from their parents. The little patients sit sad and downeast or walk quietly by thelr nurses. Many of them suffer from eye disease, anda led about blindfolded. Hall is quite naoden 'b bad" tor al- though the springs have flowed for ages-as records show-they were, until forty years ago, used only by peasants in the neighborhood. The waters are very powerful, and many casus desperatus has found new lease of ]ifa through their agency; but they are limited iii quantity, for their flow, although regu lar, is inconsiderable. Hall can thus never become large bad" and could not supply the wants of more than 2,O(O invalids. About half that mum | be- are there now. I ascert lined or inquiry that one Englishman was taking the waters-they are bathed in anc drank-and this gentleman and ai American are the only two q Anglo

Alpaca.


 This useful material, so much in de- mand at the present day, is manufacs tured from the wool of the alpaca goat. a species of the Llama, whose home is in the mountain regions of Peru It lives on the coarsest fare. the scanty herbage that springs up in the fastness of the rocks: but it has beautiful, wavy coat of white, chestnut brown wool, which is nearly foot in length, very soft ana elastic. nearly as fine as that of the Cash mere goat. This is shesred of every year or two, and sent in little bales or ballots to England or France, or to wherever it sis to be manufactured. 1t IS then washed, dried, combed and finally sorted preparatory to being manufactured into | the warn from which is made the cloth, the material undergoing thirteen or | fourteen different processes in the course | of its preparation.

Words of Wisdom.

Show me people whose trade is dis honest, and I will show you people whose religion is sham.
 Childhood often holds a truth with it's feeble fingers, which the grasp of manhood cannot retain, which 1t IS the pride of utmost age to recover.
 Many persons sigh for death when 1t seems far off, but the inclination van ishes when the boat upsets, or the loco motive runs off the track, or the measles set in.
 Mere bashfulness without merit is awkward; and merit without modesty insolent. But modesty with merit has a double claim to acceptance, and gen erally meets with as many patrons a' beholders.
 T,fs much for others and little fo ourselves, to restrain our selfish and t' 1 indulge our benevolent affections, cen stitute the perfection of human nature The utmost excellence at which hu l manity can arrive, is Il constant and do l termined pursuit of virtue without rs gard to present dangers and advap tages.

At EYening.

 Upon the hills the wind is sharp and cold, The sweet young grasses wither on the wold, And we, oh Lord, have wandered from thy fold;
 But evening brings us home. Where the brown lichen whitens, and the fox Watches the straggler from the scattered focks;
 But evening brings us home. The sharp thorns prick us, and our tender feet Are cut and bleeding, and the lambs repeat Their pitiful complaints--oh, rest is sweet,
 When evening brings us home. We have been wounded by the hunters darts, Our eyes are very heavy, and our hearts s Search for thy coming-.when the iightdeparis,
 At evening, bring us home The darkness gathers. Throughthe gloom no star ' Rises to guide us. We have wandered far. Without thy lamp we know not where we are--
 At evening brings us home. The clouds are round us, and the snow drifts thicken. Oh, thou dear Shepherd, leave not to scken In the waste night our tardy footsteps quicken.
 At evening bring us home.

To CURE FELoN.-Take out a DOT ton of the inside of lemon, and thrust inc finger into it. Or take the skin of the inside of a fresh egg. bind it on with the moisture of the white of the egg next to the finger, and 1t will draw the small globule that causes the sore to the surface. As it dries make new appllcar tions. This recipe has been often recom- mended, and we believe that it has been very successful.

l. If you have anything to rent, charge
and demand three times its value.
2 Look sorrowful; be little and insult every

derrate every new mechanic and professional

3. Go abroad for goods and wares. By
no means purchase from your own merchants
and manufacturers even at the same price or
less. Finally, give total finish to your
work by working against any local news
paper enterprise. Be mean to everybody
connected with it; refuse to subscribe OF

distance will not know that any business
is being done in your town, or they may b.

that would give you trouble.

other day. "Hs is a strange man and
had one Of the most cold.blooded. devil.
ish natures that ever oppressed woman.
He would. when angry with me. throw
his arm around my neck and say. with
IN oath : God. how I would like to
choke you to death / and be often told
me he had Q good mind to do 1t. Al
such times I have felt his hands clutch
my throat tighter and tighter, and then
I would feel my blood recsds to my
heart and become unconscious. When
swoks I'd and myself on the door OF
in q chair, wherever he had thrown me.
He was very childish. II anything

threw one Of the actors into 4 serious

Ter. with the decoy police officers sta
and escorted by Sergeant John W
Shields and another officer, walked
quietly through the undertaker's stor'
up O'Farrell to Stockton street and en-
tered q North Beach car. which con
veyed them to Kesrny street. near tn
