An April Welcome. BY PIUEBE CAKT. *Coiri'e up April, through the valley, In your iobe* ol beauty drest, Come and wake your flowery From thdr wintry beds of res.; Come and uverfliw them softly With the sweet breath of the South ; Drop upon them, warm ami loving. Tenderest kisses from your mouth. Touch them with your rosy finger?., Wake them with your pleasant tread, Push away the leaf-brown covers, Over a I their faces spread ; Tell them how tha sun is waiting Longer daily in the skies, Looking lor the bright uplifting, Os their tringed eyes. # Call the crow-foot and the crocus, Call the pale anemone, Call the violet and the daisy, Clothed witn careful modesty ; •Seek the low and humble blossoms, Os their beauties'Unaware, Let the Dandelion and fennel Show their shining yellow hair. Bid the little homely sparrows. Chirping in the cold and rain Their impatient sweet Complaining, Sing out from their hearts again ; Bid them set themselves to mating, Cooing love iu so I test words, •Crowd their nests, all cold and empty, Full of little callow birds. •Come up, April, through the valley, Where the fonu tain bleeps today'; Let him. treed from icy fetters, Go rejoicing on his way ; Through the flow, r-enamelled meadows, Let him run his laughing race, Making love to all the blossoms. That o'erleaa and kiss his lac-, *B it not birds and blossoms only, Not alone the streams Complain ; Men and maiden too are called, 'Come up. April, come again ! Waiting with ih- sweet impatience O' a lover for tit • hours That shall set the tender beauty Os thy feet am nig tile fl iweis. Wild Sport- ix F loud a.— A Main man describe* an encountei with a cat amount in Florida. He write* ‘Vo in *3 neper, 11 unilton county : ‘T went to a pond one mile and*) half from home, and caught a fine 1 mess of fish. As 1 was leaving for home, I hoard a rust Snug in the leave* behind me. I turned, and saw a large catamount in seven feet of me, and liel<ue I could got thil‘ ly on my foot (for I was sitting down) he sprang on top of my bead and cut a large gash in my under lip with his •teeth, and scratched my eye with his claw, so that I could not see. I got my knife from n\y pocket av.d dropped it before 1 could open it. I soon found lie was getting the best of the fight, and I Jumped into tho pond. He then let go my lip and caught me on tho head I •turned over on my face, and lie let go •of my head and hit me on the netife. I put my head under water and he let go of me. I held my head’ Milder water xts long as I could and live, expecting when I rose he would attack me again, but he was gone. I washed my eyes, ‘and got one of them so I could see, took a large stick and started for home, without molestation. Men started with guns and dogs, and killed him within a quarter of a mile of where wo had the fight. Thus I had the great consolation of seeing my enemy dead. One’s Mother. — Around the idea of one 1 * mother the mind of man clings with fond affection. It is the first dear thought slumped upon infant hearts, when yet soft and capable of receiving the most profound impressions, and all the after feelings are more or less in comparison. Our passions and our wil fulness m»y lead us far from the object of our filial love; we may become wild, headstrong, and angry at her counsels or opposition; but when death has still ed her admonitory voice, and nothing but calm memory remains to recapitu late her virtues and good deeds, affec tion, like a flower beaten to the ground by a rude storm, raises up her head and smiles amidst her tears. Round that idea, us we have said, the mind clings with fond affection; and even when the earliest period of our loss forces ry to be silent, fancy takes the place of remembrance, and twines the image of our departed parent with a gtrlaud of graces and beauties and virtues which we doubt not she possessed. ffrg- The cost of the reception of the remains of George i eabody at Portland, Ale., were as follows : Decorating the City Hall, $2,299.14; music, sds7 ; ex cursion of the city government to the Monarch, sll4 ; steps on the Atlantic wharf, l(l6 22, expenses of procession, $584.44; expenses of Governor and Council, Legislature, Admiral Farragut, committee from town of Peabody ete., $1,857.50; and other small mils—mak ing a total ot ab-mt 1 3TN ow in-mo tor merchants '• ‘ Lute to bed and early to rise Never get ugut and advertise,” especially the latter, An Old Blockads Runner. A Oherleston (S. C.) correspondent oi the Cincinnati Commercial writes': ‘Captain Finn IV-k is an old and successful blockade mmier, and con verses freely upon his exploits daring the war. He is sixty-four years old, iia!« und hearty, although touched with .paralysis, and believes that he will live to see many yonng men hnmd. He was opposed to secession, but when South Carolina went out he fell into the war wiih the zea! of his fellow-citizens of Churl i-sto'i, and turned his nantical knowledge to account, became a block, ade runner. ‘Whenever If >ut»d how things were going,’ said he to three or four L’incin nattians sealed in his cabin, sipping otard and water, this morning, asjlie City Point spread over the sparkling •crest-of the Atlantic,*‘i made up my mind. I bid my folks good-bye, and told them I was g nng to Kentucky and Tennessee to buy cattle, i(and the jolly old salt laughed at the conceit,) but I was going farther. I took a carpet, sack, sortie old clothes, four pounds of plug tobacco and a bottle of whiskey, and headed for Louisville, where I *pe it one night. My next stopping place was ill Niagara Falls, where people’s baggage was examined by the revenue officers. ‘What have you there old gentle man ?’ asked a smart fellow, w.th a gold bun on his cap. ‘A few old clothes, some tobacco, and a bottle of whiskey” I answered ‘Won’t you have some ?’ ‘Ni , thank yea:; not now,’ says he. ‘Pass along.’ You better believe I felt relieved, for you see I had sterling exchange for $500,000 sowed in the collar of an old coal in my carpet-sack and I’d have felt cheap giiiiijr back to Charleston with out it. Weill went to England. That waft in June 1801, and I returned in Decem ber following, with a ship load of arms and munitions of war which were safely landed in Charleston. ‘How much money did you make, Captain ‘.Wa'I,W, I made $15,000 ill gohl ou that trip; paid $9,0')0 that 1 owed in Charleston; made ray family oomfortu ble, and tissk a few thousand buck to England for safe keeping. I had $360 000 m Confederate bonds when the war rinsed and 1 liave it yet.’ ‘Do you ever expect to realize any thing fr>>m them 7’ •No, sir; not a thing’ I had some notion of papering my sitting romh at home with them last year No, sir ; ail the money T m ole out of the war just paid that debt, kept my family in coin fort and left, me $7,060 in gold on de posit in England.’ ‘How long did yon run the Block ade r "All through the war.’ ‘\\ ere you neve- caught ?’ ‘No, sir, never, but came near being captured by the Rhode Island, off Nas sau. 1 was command of tile Marga ret and Jessie with a cargo of cotton for England. The Ii lode Island spied her and made right for us. They tired two tm.idled and odd shots; several struck us, but only one done any dam age. It tore a four foot hole in our boiler, and l run the vessel into the shoals at Nassau. The eiew escaped ; wreckers oame down and saved the ves sel and claimed salvage.’ ‘Bid you run the same vessei all through the war ?’ ‘No, sir; I commanded several—tiie Bermuda, the Cecile, the Kate, the Mar garet and Jessie, and the Leopard, af terward called the Stonewall Jackson. The (Jecdile, Kate and Stonowad were lost; the rest came out all right. I made tliirteeu trips in all, and never was caught. Look here, now, you inusn’t tell this ; I see you taking notes.’ ‘Oh ! no, no ; wouldn’t tell it to any body for the world. Oh, nos ‘All right, gentlemen lot ns take an other drop of that brandy.’ ‘Where did yon run principally, Cap tain ?’ ‘Well, sir, some times into Charles ton, but mostly into Wilmington.* ‘Were you not afraid of the torpedoes in the Charleston h;.rbor!’ ‘No, sir.’ I had a chart of the har. bor, prepaved by the Confederate engi neers and torpedo corps, showing where the things wjsresunk and simply steered elear of them. The main ship channel never was obstructed during the war, and any ship could haye come in, but it seemed they were afraid.’ ‘Well, some of them did come in, in spite of the torpedoes.’ ‘Yes, sir, the Ironsides passed righ't over a torpedo made out of a thirty foot boiler,charged with 4 000 pounds of powder, ar.d sunk only a mile from Fort Sumter, but it seems as though Provi dence ordered it otherwise. The thing did not explode as the vessel touched, and then they tried the galvanic butte ry on the shore for the torpedo corps were ashore, expecting to see her blown into the air, but the battery would not exulode it either. I always believed tiiat the leliow who fasten* and the wires fixed them so they would not work, and a great many others were of my opin ion ’ A little girl five years of age, being asked wliat is faith, replied : “It is doing what God wants us to do, and ask no questions about it.” Parental Government. In all well regulated households the father of the family exercises a watch ful i-ai’e over his children. He nates their various .phase* of temperament and disposition, their hopes and fears; their anxieties and d'raapjwintments-; their physical development and moral progress, and he becomes in a measure answerable in society -for their good com dfict With the help of the mother, most youthful minds may be moulded in to gentleness and obedience. Filial du ty then becomes a pleasurable habit, lhalt is observed durmg life, and refsr* ence for old age is one of the most no ticeable characteristics of such a house hooid. ‘Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long ia the land which tiie Lord thy Cod hath given thee,* is an injunction of Holy Writ, and never were words more appropriate- A disobedient son or daughter always cre ates unhappiness, and ultima tel)’ brings dishonor to the domestic circle, as such children are surely and constantly feed 'i»g their own base passions at the shrine of evil. Few young people become tru. ly sensible of the injurious effects pro. duced on the mind by a constant asso ciation with vicious persons. ‘No one can touch tar without being defiled,’ is an old proverb, that holds good at all times and everywhere. In the moral, as in the physical world, no measure of carefulness and culture from one of the parents can atone for premeditated and pernicious practices or examples of the other. A father i* without power to govern his family, if the mother thoughtlessly oppose him, and there is no method whereby the childre*g,if the family cah be induced to yield him their willing obedience. It is utterly impossible to prevent evii results flowing lroin a conflict of authority on the part of the parents. The children are insensibly imbued with a spirit of disobedience, and are quick to manifest it on the least, exercise of parental au thority. A good mother can exercise no holier calling than to guide the footsteps of her children in the path of duty and honor. If she also affords her children a proper example by her own walk and conversation, she will in her declining years have no cause to regret duties un performed, nor -admonitions that were unheeded. Africa Huntinq. —Here the elephant roams; you have to stalk him very carefully, as his power of scent is very great, and as soon as he smells a man he is oft; he makes for the thickets un derbrush that be can rush through, while you are picking your way. Yon have to use uu Euglish elephant gun that carries a four ounce ball; every time you fire it knocks you down, and makes your shoulder ache for a week after; the ball makes a hole in the ele phant that you can pilt your fi-t in. If you do not kill him at the first shot he will-charge you. Climbing a tree doe* no good in this ease ; they haul it down and shake it. Legs are your only Sal vation. Zrbrasor quaggas, and mon keys of a 1 kinds abound here. Mon key skins are worth five shillings. Os triches ean be silled if you have a long winded and fast horse. The skin and feathers of a male ostrich are worth £2O. Zebra skins are worth five shil lings; and some elephants’ tusks weigh ninety pounds apiece, and are worth live shillings a pound in Natal. ihe British government does not al low firearms to be sold to the natives, and they hunt with a spear four feet long. A large body of them form a circle and inarch towards a common centre, driving the wil l beasts and deer •>f all kinds to this centre. They then close in and spear them, being careful however, to let the lions, etc., have a wild berth. They manage sometimes to kill 500 doer in one day by this means. They then gorge until it is all gone, and lay up like an anaconda for the balance of the season. You find plenty of suakes, such as the python, an a-fieotienate reptile about twenty feet long—after embracing, lie swallows you. Then comes the puff adder, that j« mps backwards only, and nip* you in tneface; theu die. The night adder crawls into your bed at night. If you attempt to kick him out, you’re a corpse. There is also the green and black main ba; sure death. Turning the Devil to Grass.—So rapid is their wuy of doing things in Chicago, that, when a man makes up his mind to reform I rather a tough job.) it becomes important to fix him prompt ly. It is therefore necessary, at times, to cut a hole in the ice to perform the solemn ceremony of baptism. On one of these occasions a convert, who had felt the necessity of that rite, was ask ed by the minister,. “How do you feel now, brother ?’ ‘Better,” was the reply; “pat me in again.” The request was complied with, and after the second dip, the question was repeated"* “ How do you feel now?'' “Belter! 'better!'" was the response iu a solemn tone of voice —'■‘the devil may go to grant now /” SteST An Irishman, traveling in a street that was paved, was startled by a d*>g with a threatening growl. T-be travel er attempted to pull up one of the pav ing stones and throw at him, but it was la--t. ‘Aroah,’ sain paddy, ‘what a fine village this is, whore they tie stones aud let dogs loose.’ CUTHBERT, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1870. Memories. The heart has memories that Can nev er die. The rough nsage of the world cannot obliterate them. Feeble age, trembling on the brink of the grave, has them when everybody else has fled away and been forgotten. They are the memories of home —early home—t-he house where we were born; the gar den, with its f >Ses where the robins made their nests, spring after spring, paying their rent in songs such as We dream of, but never hear afterward; the old din and swing, where the chil dren used to play, while the mother sat by the window, her face beaming out occasionally from the folds of the mus lin curtain; the same olu house, with jts pointed gables, quaint cornices aDd antique windows ; the wainscoted chain her where we used to dream of all that the great, glad world had in store for us. Dear old home, with its gay dreams, and sunny hours, and cloudicss skies, and visions of bliss and glorious happiness—gone, all gone. The traveler, climbing the mountains of land not his own, amid aii his toil and changes, reverts ever and anon to the time when, a youth or schoolboy, he roamed the fields and hills of his own native home. The mariner, rocked by the storms of the sea, or resting at some foreign port, will run through the long lapse of ‘years back to the house where, with brother and sister, he frolicked the joy ous hoars of youth away- Neither change nor time, neither age nor youth, neither distance aor disease, neither guilt nor passion can ever blot rom the heart, the memories of the spring-time of life. These memories will reproduce, on the verge of eternity, the freshness of emotion, of life and de. sire, with which existence ou earth be gan. The "amily Circle. —No other earth ly circle can be compared with that of the family. It comprises all that a hu man heart most values and delights in. It is the centre where all human affec tions meet and entwiue, the vessels into which they all pour themselves with such joyous freedom. There is no one word which contains in it so many en dearing assoefations and precious re,, rnembraiKves, hid in the heart like gold* It appeals at once to the very centre of man’s being, “his heart of heart’s.” All that is sweet, soothing, teudor, and true, is wrapped up in that one name. It speaks not of one circ e or ol one bond ; put of many circles anti many bonds— nil of them near the heart. Tiie family home, the family hearth, the family ta' ble, family habits, family voices, family tokens, family salutations, family melo dies, family joys and family sorrows; what a mine of recollections lie under that one word l Take these a Way, and earth becomes a mere churchyard of crumbling bone*, and men as so many grains of loosened sand, or M best, but as fragments of a torn flower which the winds are scattering abroad. All that is beautiful in human rela tionship, or tender In nuinan affection, or gentle in human intercourse; all that is lovely and precious to the movements of human hearts from its lowest depth to its uppermost surface, all these are wrapt up in the one uante of family.— For close knit bonds, for steadfast, faith fulness in love, for depth of sympathy, for endurance in trial and danger— where nhall we find anything to be coiiV pared to the story of earth’s family cir eie ? Conjugal love, parental love, broth* erly love, sisterly love, all are here.— The many streams of human affections empty themselves into it, fl >w out of it for the fertility and gladness of the earth. A Cheerful Atmosphere. —Let us try to be like the sunshiny member of the family who has the inestimable art of making all duty seem pleasant, all self denial and exertion easy and desir able ; even disappointment not so blaek and crushing; who is like a bracing, crisp, frosty atmosphere throughout the home, without a suspicion of the ele ment that chills and pinches. have kirewn people within whose influence you. felt cheerful, amiable, hopeful, equal 1o anytliiug. I do not know a more enviable gift than the energy to sway others to good ; to diffuse around us an atmosphere of clieei fulness, piety, truthfulness, generosity, magnanimity. It is not a matter of great energy ; but rather of earnestness and honesty, and of that quiet, constant energy which is like soft rain gently penetrating the soil. It is rather a grace than a gift; and we all know where all grace is to be had freely for the asking. ‘Why don’t you limit yourself?’ said a physician to an intemperate per. son. ‘Set down a stake that you will go so far and no farther.’ ‘1 do,’ re plied the o*ber, ‘but I set it so far off that I always get drunk.before I get to it.t ‘How could God make a woman out of a rib, papa?’ ‘I don’t know, my child; it was a miracle.’ ‘All the queto lions you can't answer you call mira des, don’t you, papa?’ Jggf'A prudent man.’ says a witty Frenchman, ‘is like a pin. His head prevents him from going too far.’ £3T“ a man can’t help wh«t is done behind his back,” as the scamp said when he was kicked out of doors. - The Road to Ruin. ‘You’re a pretty girl to get married,’ said an aged aunt to her niece. ‘Why, ‘what do you know about house-keeping, jest from a boarding school. I’m sure your husband has need of a mint of money.’ ‘La, aunt, I expect to board; you need not think I shall bother myself with domestic concerns. Everybody boards now that gets married genteelly —the first year at least.’ ‘What shall you pay ft Week for sich kind o’ living inquired the aunt. ‘Mr. Hodge says he can get first rate accommodations for fifteen dollars; two rooms, beautifully situated, and I am sure that is cheap enough.’ ‘Wjiat is Hodge’s salary V ‘Wlfy, six huudred, aunt, bow, and the promise of promotion—perhaps eight hundred, before tiie year is out.’ ‘So you are going to live ou the per haps, are you ? Now, let me tell you„ Belinda, you talk foolishly ; if your hus band is at present receiving six hundred, do you lay by one of them—it’s all non sense to go beyond your means.’ ‘Why, aunt nobody would respect us if we did not live as stylish as other peo ple—there is a great deal in the begin ning.’’ ‘True, child; that is what I waut to impress upon you.’ * The year passed away. Belinda lived in atyle, paid her fifteen dollars ■for board, receiving her ‘genteel’ ac quaintances, worked some tabourets, drew a few sketches from oil paintings, grew tired of boarding, and was just entering, on fashionable housekeeping, when 10, a defalcation came out 1 Hodge bad taaen money unlawfully, was arres ted, held to bail, and a prison stared him in the face! Belinda did not believe him guilty ; they had always lived ‘economi cally,’ and it could not be. But the tri al proved otherwise, and he was convic ted, and sentenced lo imprisonment. ‘How came you, Ilodge, to do So?’ inquired the same old aunt. ‘To please my wife’s fancy,’ was the reply. ‘She wanted to live like other people, and I wished to gratify her, and in this way I committed my first breach of trust.’ The broken hearted wife lamented the beginning she had made when it was too late to rectify it. She found res pectability preferable to gentility. She now lives at her father’s with a worse than widow’s sorrow to harrow her feel* ir.gs, and takes in sewing as a liveli hood. The plain road to ruin is here clearly marked out. We see what has been the result of such a coiirse; but are not thousands of others sacrificing their husband’s rep. utatioiis by less obvious, but still us cer tain, courses of extravagance? Away with the nonsensical thought, that g**n tility demands such a sacrifice beyond one’s ability. If you value the opinion of the truly worthy and estimable, you will find them always on the sideofpru dent expenditure and economical liviog* ‘Cut your garment according to your olothj is an old maxim, bill the senti ment is as true now as ever A life of gaudy show may do for a butterfly, but never for a man or woman who expect to survive one season. The Goose. —Josh Billings *ays the goose is a grass animal, but don’t chew her coud. They are good livers—about one aker to a goose is enough. But I don’t think if I had a farm of 176 a kern, awl paid for, that I would sell it for what it was worth, just be cause it didn't have but one goose on it. Geese stay well; some of our best biographers say sixty years, and grow tough to the last, They are good eating, but not good chawing; the reason ov this remains a profound secret to this day. When the female goose is at work hatching, she is a hard bird to pleaze; she riles clear up from the bottom in a minmt, and will fight a yoke of oxen if they show her the least bid of saas.— Tiie geese are excellent for the feathers, not only to feather their own nests, but other people’s. But they are more sureist about one thing; they can haul one leg up into their boddy, and stand on tother all day, and not touch anything witii their hands. A Yankee <>ae day asked his lawyer how an heiress might be carried off. ! You can not do it with safety,’ said the counselor: ‘but I’ll tell you what you may do. Ln;t her mount a horstf and hold a bridle-whip; do you then mount behind her, and you are safe, for she runs away with you.' The next day the lawyer found that it was bis own daughter who had run away with his client. An old lady, on reading that an ice-house had been burned, remark* ed : —“La, now 1 i suppose it was from spontaneous combustion. I often no ticed that the ice in the wagons smoked.'’ ©siu. A middle aged spinster, at a re cent Woman’s Right convention said she did not cat;e about .female suffrage, unless it carried with it the right to make proposals of marriage. J£3C" is the 'portrait of father torn?’ asked a little cherub of three summers. ‘No, child, why do you ask ?’ ‘Why this morning he said, ‘Darn my> pjetur.’’ The Sun’s Heat. It is evident that the atmosphere must act in difluning heat just as we have seen that it acts in diffusing light. The effect is one of the thousand condition on which thß existence of organic life depends. Were it not for the influence of the atmosphere the greatest extremes of temperature would be produced l>\ the alternation of day and night ; an* and even were the deusity of the atmos phare reduced only one-half, the vuria tion would be so great as to render the existence of the higher forms ol organic iife impossible. But not only does the atmosphere diffuse the heat of the sun’s rays; it also acts, and even more effect ualiy, iu retaining ou the surface the heat which tho earth is constantly re ceiving from the great central luminary. The atmosphere has thus been compar ed to a mantle, for like a huge cloak, it envelopes the earth in its folds, and pro tects it from the chill of the celestial spaces through which we are rushing with such immense velocity. The atmosphere also serves an equal ly important end in distributing the genial warmth of the sun’s rays over the whole surface of the earth, modera ting the climate of the temperate zone, and mitigating the intensj heat of the tropics. Air, like all gases, is expand ed by heat, and f hus rendered specifi cally lighter; and on this simple prin. eiple all our methods of warming and ventilation are based. Now, when we remember that the atmosphere under the tropics must become more intensely heated by the vertical rafs of the sun than it is in the temperate zone, ttie re sult will be obvious. The heated air rises, and the cold air rushes in from the north and south to take its place.— In this manner the Wade and other winds are produced. The aerial cur- coming from the south, bring with them the heat of the tropics, and distribute it over the temperate zone, while return currents carry the cooler air of the north towards the tropics. But, although the heat of the sun might set in motion these aerial cur rents, they would have but little effect in warming our northern climate, were it not that tho air has been endowed with a certain capacity of holdiog heat* All substances possess this capacty to a greater or less degree, but the differ ences between them are very larg . Were the capacity of tiie air less, the hot air from the tropics would bring to us proportionally less heat; were it greater, the reverse would bo the case ; and in either event, the distribution of temperature on the earth would be changed. To what extent such a change would affect the general wel fare of man, it is impossible to deter mine; but when we consider how far the history of man has been influenced by cliinat , it will appear that the pres ent distribution of the human race—the existence, for example, of a large and influential city in any particular place— may be said to depend ou the adjust ment of the capacity of the atmosphere for heat. And yet it depends no less on a thousand other conditions,, many of them far more important. Social Honor. —Every person should cultivate a nice sense of honor. In a hundred diff rent ways this most fitting adjunct of the true lady or gentleman in often tried. For instance, one is a guest in a family .where, perhaps, the domestic mummery does not run smoothly. There is a sorrow m the house unsuspected by the oflter world. Sometimes it is a dissipated son whose conduct is a shame aud grief to his pa, rents; sometimes a relative whose ec. centricities arid peculiarities are a cloud on the home. Or, worst of all, husband and wife may not bo in accord, and there may be often bitter words spoken, ami harsh recriminations. In any of these cases the guest is in honor bound to be blind and deaf, so far as people without are concerned. If a gentle word with* in can do good, it may well be said, but to go forth and reveal the shadow of an unhappy secret to any one, even your nearest friend is an act of indelicacy and meanness almost unparalleled.— Once in the sacred precincts of any home, admitted to its privacy sharing its life, ell that you see and hear, should become a 6acred trust. It is as really contemptible to gossip of such things as it would be to steal the silver or borrow the books and forget to return them. Absurdities.— To say after a thing happens, ‘I knew it was going to take place.’ Tomsk a merchant if the article he sells you is first quality. To carry ‘bricks’ in your hat and fan cy you can keep them hidden from the world. To think you must win a lawsuit be cause you have the law and evidence on your side. To tell a person of whom you would borrow’ money that you urgently need it To think the great difficulty in life is to find opportunity for the talent, and not talent for the opportunity. To make a foolish match and then ask a friend’s opinion of it. To say that you have no leisure in stead of no disposition to improve your m nd or do good. Eo put wait in your soup before y>u have tasted it car •Wouldn’t you like to be a woman when-you grow up, Tommy?’ ‘No.’ ‘Why not ?’ 'Because women cun t turn somersaults.’ Koskoo !

DISEASES OF THE BLCOD. “The life of the fl ish is in the Blood,” is n Scriptural maxim that science proves to b t.rne. The people talk of bad blood, as the cause of many diseases, and like many popu ar opiuions this of bad blood is founded in truth. The symptoms of bad blood are usually qui'e plain—bad Digestion —enu-es imperfect nutrition, and consequently the circulation is fettle, the soft, t'ssu s loose their tone and ••lasticity, and the tongue becomes pale, btoad, and frequently covered with a nasty, white coat.
