A PICTURE WORTH REHoLpING.

Hanging between two small windows, and catching the light from larger one opposite, in one of the offices of Adams Express Company, at 59 Broadway, New York-the office occupied by Mir. W. H. Hall, head of the delivery department is a plainly finished but neat.y y framed chromo, about ? by feet in size, which is looked upon by hundreds of people daily, on many of whom it has won derful and salutary effect. It represents flight of half dozen stone steps lead ing from the swarded bank of a placid lake to little rustic temple set in the rugged side of the mountain, which rises in stupendous proportions Tn the back ground all covered with rank luxuriant growth of foliage in brush and tree. In the open door of this little temple stands halfconcealed figure, with an arm and hand extended, holding forth a small, dimly-defined package, while seated on the sward at the foot of the steps an aged pilgrim, ba'efooted, lame and decrepid, bears a staffin one hand, and in the other holds before his dim eyes small bottle, whose label ne eagerly scans. This label bears the words "St. Jacobs Oil, the Great German Remedy" Simple as this little chromo appears in it's unostenta- tious position, it has an influence which it would be difficult to estimate. "It is to that picture and the persuasions of Mir. Hall, said Mir. Edward J. DouglaSs,' a gentleman connected with MT. Halls department, that 1 owe my present ability to perform my work. Some weeks ago l was violently attacked with sciatic rheumatism, and hour by hour 1 grew worse, and nothing my family or the doctor could do gave me any relief. l began to think in q few days that my case was hopeless and that was doomed to be an invalid and helpless cripple for life But at last thought of that picture which ! had So often looked at with but little interest, and then MT Hall came to my bedside, and telling me how St. Jacobs Oil had cured him of worse and longer standing case than mine, urged me to use the same remedy. 1 did so that very night, directing my wife not to spare it but to apply it thoroughly according to the directions; this she did with large piece of flannel cloth satu- rated with the Oil, and then bound the cloth to the affected parts. The next morning I was free from pain, and al- though little sore in the hip, was able to dress myself, and the next day re- sumed my duties in the office as sound as dollar. Here l am now in full health and strength, having had no touch ot rheumatism or other pain since. Whenever l see one of our drivers or any other person who showsany symp- toms of lameness or stiffness, point him to the picture in MT. Halls office, and then direct him to go for St. Jacobs Oil at onCe.-N. r. Epening IPlegrdDl.

the money on your tenth call as on any previous one, or else it would have been better if you had not made it.
 7. Never leave debtor without his setting time when he thinks he can pay, and never fail to be on hand at the time set.
 s. As between yourself and an em- ploye, let the most business like of the two take the dun.
 9. Suggest instalments. Shame the debtor into making an arrangement to pay something every week or every month. Ifnot Sl0, then 8, or $3, or $l. It will convince him that you have set to work in earnest to get the money,
 10. If q debtor gets angry, CT has worn out your patience, threat to attach his salary may be effective, not so much that he is likely to fear you will getthe money that way as that he will be anxious that the affair shall not come to the knowl- edge of his employer.
 II. A similar effect may be produced by saving you intended to place the bill in the hands of a lawyer whom he hates, or who has a reputation for harassing debtors, however. become careless st51!, legal processes.
 12. DropiE:tca q debtors favorite haunts. It will make him very uneasy, especially you don't hesitate to ask him politely but plumply for your money on each oc- casion. This may often happen after he has displayed roll of bills.

4 Cool Detective.

As rule, highwaymen in the mining states seldom operate upon stage coach with "U. & M." on it. They know that these letters stand for United States mail, and are pledge that the whole power of the government will be used to capture them.
 The detectives in the government ser vice are quiet men, courteous m manner and gentle in speech. Mir Hays tells, ill his book on New Colorado" of one whom he met, who wore gold spectacles and looked like a German professor. Yet the man alone took two mail rob bers from the north of Texas. At one place thelr friends planned a rescue. He quietly informed his prisoners that, while their friends would undoubtedly kill him, they might be sure that the first motion would senl them into eter- nity. Not a man in the crowd moved a finger
 On one occasion, a celebrated detect i've was on a stage, which was attacked by two masked men. The first he knew was that two revolyers were thrust into the coach window with the command: Hand up, ye gentlemen"
 The highwaymen had the drop" on the passengers, which, ill their vocabu- lary meant the certainty of being able to kill before harmed themselves. To his disgust, the detective was compelled to give up his watch and money.
 AS the robbers left he put his hand down in the boot" and to his delight touched a carbine. Asking the driver to go on little further and stop and wait for him, he went back alone.
 The two men, unsuspicious of danger, were 'divying up" the spells in the mid dle of the road. This was just what the detective had calculated on.
 Now, you scoundrels, it's My turn" he shouted, covering them with the re- beating carbine. Throw up your hands, or I'll shoot"
 The robbers, at his command, stepped 10 one side, holding up their hands while he picked up their revolvers It was not many minutes before the astonisb ed passengers saw the two highwaymen meekly walking down the road, with the cool detective following. They were taken in the coach and finally lodged in jail.
 The hero was Gen. Charles Adams who subsequently, went alone among the Utes and secured the release of the women captives from the White River Agency.

Amusing Provisions of OId wills.

A foreign review of new book, en- etitled "Curiosities of the Search Room; a Collection of Serious and Whimsical Wills" writes as follows:
 he chapters on Eccentric Wills, on Nindictivo Wills, and on Directions for Burial, contain some curious illustrations of human frailty and folly. A certain Dr, Ellerby bequeaths his heart to one friend, his lungs to another, and his brains to a third, declaring that if they do not execute his wishes with regard to them he will come and torment them if it should be by any means possibl." :" Another testator an American, requires that his skin may be converted into two drumheads, upon wh ch are to be iu- scribed Pope's Universal Prayer and the Declaration of Independence; another American, a New Yorker, leaves seventy one pairs of trousers, to be sold 10 the highest bidder without examination, no purchaser being allowed to buy more than one pair. In each pair was found a bundle of bank-notes, representing a SI 900. 4 Frenchman institutes an an- nual race with pigs, to be ridden by boys or men, with prize of ESQ to the win ner. \ Baptist minister, who died last year, declares in his will that he thirsts to see the Church of England brought down, and desires all posterity to know that he believes infant sprinkling to be from his Satanic Maiesty.' Another dis senter, recently deceased, bequeaths C20O00 upon trust for two nieces, upon condition that neither of them marry a minister of the Established Church, or person holding any office or commission in her Majesty's army
 "Grotesque instructions with regard to the testalor's body are frequent in wills One man bequeathed his body to the Imperial Gas Company, to be consumed to ashes in one of their retorts; and New York spinster desired to employ all her money in building church but stipulated that her remains should be mixed up in the mortar used for fixing the first stone' Some of the bequests in what the compiler calls 'Niudictive Wills have in them a teach of humor. Thus the Fifth Earl of Pembroke writes: I bequeath to Thomas May, whose nose I did break at a masquerade, 5 shilliugs. My intention had heen to give him more, but all who have seen his History of Parliament, will consider that even this sum is too large and a certain Dr. Dunlop bequeathes to his brother-in- law Christopher his best pipe, out of gratitude that he married my sister Maggie, whom no man of taste would have taken and to his eldest sister, loan his fve-aere field, to console her for being married to man she is obliged to heupeck"
