The party had reached the verandah

though some thing should yet be said.

All agreed with Pearce; and when
they turned away from Thornleys
home they were wiser than before. -
They had learned what they had not
previously understood and that was,
that there was another kind OF real
pleasure besides that which they follow
ed. Argument might never have con-
vinced them; but one good look at their
friends home, and an understanding OF
his domestic arrangements opened
their eyes Never again did they ask
Thomas Thornley, to accompany them
on any OF their scrapes, but they did Of
ten visit him, and they were not long
in finding that an evening spent beneath
his roof, with music and sensible con-
yersation, and simple collation. of
fruits and nuts, was better by far than
a wine supper, with its boisterous laugh
and jest, and consequent depression and
headaches Of next morning.

article glorifies the Latter Day Saints !;

polygamy if it became universal, and it
is dangerous to the perpetuity of Nor
monism to longer attempt 1t, there is
a possibility that that odious feature is
to be abandoned by authority of revela-


ton. The article concludes as follows


The people must take an immense stride in

How TO CURE CANCER.-A Milwaukee
paper states that some eight months ago Mr..
Z. B. Mason, of that city, ascertained that
he had a. cancer on his face the size of pin.
tt was cut out by Dr. Wolcott. and the
wound partially healed. Subsequently it
grew again, and while he was at Cincinnati
on business, it attained the size of hickory
nut. He remained there since Christmas
under treatment, and is now perfectly cured.
The process is this: A piece of sticking
plaster was put over the cancer, with a circu-
lar piece cut out Of the centre a little larger
than the cancer, so that the cancer and a
small circular rim of the healthy skin next it
were exposed. Then plaster made of chic
ride of zinc, blood root and wheat flour, was
spread on piece of muslin the size of this
circular opening. and applied to the cancer
for twenty-four hours. On removing it, the
cancer will be found burnt into, and appear
of the color and hardness of an old shoe sole.
and the circular rim outside of it will appear
whiteland parpo:led. as if scalded by hot
steam. The wound is now dressed, and the
outside rim soon separates. and the career
comes out in hard lump, when the place
heals up. The plaster kills the cancer. SO
that it sloughs out like dead flesh, and never
grows in again. The remedy was discovered
by Dr. Fell Of London, and has been used by
him for six or eight years with unfailing
success, and not case has been known Of

remedy has been applied
