"A Physicians Evidence.

People, as a general thing, en-
dorse a medicine according to the
effect produced upon individuals,
but remedy to be of universe
good, must cure in all similar in
stances; hence, the evidence of a
physician is Of paramount import
ance in summing up the salutary
and curative advantages of a rem

pie. In this respect, Mansfeld's

CLEAN PERSONAL HABITS.

If we could only impress upon all
mankind the fact that sacred duty
devolves upon each individual to
keep himself or herself pure, sweet,
aud acceptable tothose about them
at all times we should feel that we
had accomplished a work of priceless
value. OF course we cannot do this,
nor can we expect TO influence any
large proportion Of the people in the
direction of that cleanliness which SO
nearly approximates godhness. But
we do stimulate secret few to great
er care Of themselves, to greater con-
sideration for the tastes and feelings
of others, and in this we have sweet
and lasting reward. Thousands of
our young readers will by-and-by
reflect that to our teachings they owe
something of their good manners, not
IA little of their good morals, and very
much of their good habits, and they
will, some day, thank us for our ear
nestness in their behalf. SO we re-
member that when we preach tenn
perance, and cleanliness, and life
of thoughtful purity, we are teaching
our readers an all-important lesson.
and one which cannot be too early
learned. There is great deal of
selfshness IN the world, and this trait
is manifested in nothing more than
in personal habits. 49, Youths Com

From private letter written to
a citizen of our town, by constant
reader of the TIMES, and who seer1s
to "catch on" to the funny phases
of life, we are permitted to extract
the following conundrums:
Why are the merchants of Osce-
la like barnyard fowls? Because they
fatten off of full crops"
Why is it that the planters dol I
reap what they sow? Because they
gather from the (bowD boil"
"Why were some of the parties
in attendance at your Barbecue like
ghosts up tree? Because they were
"goblin' up the Q)ash."
Why are the young men of Os-
ceola like an audience listening to a
very eloquent orator? Because they
are Held spcll-bound."
"Why is Brickey's store the most
popular place to trade? Because
everybody knows Howe and attends
to their business"
Why is one of the Osceola
Druggists like the heir to the throne
of England; and in what does he
differ from the crown princey First,
because he is gay Lord. Second:
ono is an heir tn n crown while the
other has crown with no h(e)air." ;"

A pianofortc has been made IN
Paris in which paper takes the place
of wood, the whole case being man
ufactured from paper so compressed
that it is able to receive a hard sur
face and polish. The color is
cream white. The tone of the in
strument is reported not loud, but
very sweet. The short, broken char
acter of the sound emitted by ordi-
nary pianofortes Is replaced by soft,
full, quasi-continuous sound, resem-
