he had returned only to be jeered at by
the farmer, who was standing at his gate
awaiting him; and now at the end Of
all his tribuation he found that his long
editor lunch had been raVened by three
subalterns. The operations of war had
proved a fiascO, and the day itself had
been as bad IN other ways. He was at
heart an amiable man, but the accumu-
lation of miseries was too much for him.

wondering what he should do. After all,
he had been young himself.

His Debut in the Arpleincle Region,



There is q young doctor in the gradual
ing class Of one of the medical colleges Of
this city who now has a high regard for
the accomplishments of New Jersey In the
manufacture Of intoxicating beverages. He
is a native of Kentucky, and a few days
ago, IN company with three Of his class
mates, he visited a farmer located Just out
side of Camden. who endeavored to make
things pleasant for the boys. The jug Of
applejack was passed around, and the
southern esculapius, after a preliminary
taste, filed his glass full Of the tempting
beverages. No amount Of explanation on
the part of his friends could change his
determination 20 take a big drink
Il have been raised on whisky" said he,
land 1 know what ] am doing. You need
not be afraid Of me taking more than
can carry"
Each time the jug went around he in
sisted on fun glass Of appleiack. When
evening arrived IT was a sad procession
that moved toward the ferry. The host
had to hitch up and carry the southern
Gentleman 10 the boat and his friends had
TO put him TO bed at his boarding place,
and IL was several days before he could
stand any one walking heavily over the
floor and a week before he was up and
about.
He looks forward to a sweet revenge
this summer, as he has ordered two gall
Ions of applejack to take home for his
friends.

Toad Doctors.
From Chambers, journal.


There is a mysterious connection be-
tween toads and warts. This is known
across the Atlantic where in New England
they say that one who kills toad will
have as many warts as the victim has
spots. Toads are used for the cure of
warts by American boys, who operate by
rubbing the troublesome excrescences
against one Of the unfortunate reptiles i'm
paled on sharp stick. Live toads, or
their limbs, confined In bag worn round
the neck, as described by Sir Kenelm Dig
by, were good for quinsy, would stop bleed
ing at the nose, and, above all, were a
most valuable remedy for kings evil or
scrOfula.
A belief in the efficacy of a live toad in
cases of scrofula is still widely held in
the west of England. Not many years ago.
a certain cunning man used to hold an
annual gathering at Stalbridge, in Dorset
shire, which was locally known as Toad
Fair" because the quack sold, at no cheap
rate, legs torn from the bodies of living
toads, which, when placed in bags and
worn around the neck were reckoned as
sovereign remedies for scrofula, and for
those who had been Overlooked" or be-
