a valuableluj^k^tT^ Among the many carious modes of making money here, 1 think none sur passes the following: A surgeon told me that he went one day into the tent of a brother medicus, on the Bendigo, just as a patient was going out. ‘1 have been stopping a tooth,’ said the surgeon. ‘Do you get good cement here ?’ inquired my friend. Admirable,’ replied the surgeon. ‘I saw an old gutta percha bucket sel ling in a lot of old tools one day at auction. ! bought the lot for the sake ©f the bucket, which cost me five shil lings. I have already stopped hun dreds of teeth with the gutta percha at a guinea each, and shall, no doubt, stop thousands with it before the old bucket, is used up. It is a fortune to me. My'name is up for an unrivalled dentist, and they come to me far and near.’ —Two Years in Victoria . A son of the Emerald /slo lately had occasion to visit the city in his vehicle. Having arrived at his point of destination, he alighted and proceed ed to transact his business. On return ing to the place where he had left his horse and wagon, he was astonished to learn that his horse had run away. ‘Sliure and did he break the rein ?’ inquired he of Ins inlormant. ‘No, I believe not,’ was the reply. ‘Well thin, how in the name of St. Patrick could he have got loose, for sure an’ I tied the reins to the wagon?’ On the Wrong Train.—A few nights since some young men, going from Columbus to Cincinnati. Ohio, in the cars, were getting rather noisy and profane, when a gentleman in a white cravat tapped one of them on the shoulder with the remark ; ‘Young man, do you know you are on the the road to hell V ‘That’s just my luck ; I took a tick et for Cincinnati, and I’ve got on the wrong train.’ An old farmer, standing on the corn ner, was terribly out of humor, because he had lost all his wheat by the Wee vil, for more than two successive years. He was advised by a bystander to sow Mediterranean wheat hereafter, asvthat escaped the ravages of the in sect. He replied indignantly, ‘No, sir, I’ll be darned if I do; 1 can stand it as long as the Weevil can, und I will. Mrs. Partington has just communi cated a scientific discovery, namely, that the only way to prevent steam boat explosions, is to make the en gineers ‘bile their water on shore. 1 In her opinion, all the ‘bustin’ is by cookin’ the steam on board. 1 Children are raised in Japan with a pulley. Some of the gown folks are occasionally raised with a rope— around the neck- For children and grown folks, Japan holds out induce ments that should not be slighted. A witty doctor said that tight lac ing was a public benefit, inasmuch as it killed oil'all the foolish girls, and left the wise ones to grow to be wo men. ‘Mr. Jones, I don’t know where the boy got his bad temper; not from me, 1 am sure.’ ‘No my dear, 1 don’t perceive that you have lost any.’ In a late speech, Lucy Stone said, *We know there is cotton in the ears of men. Let us look for hope in the bosoms of women.’ May you not find cotton where you look for hope, Lu cy V Wendell Holmes being told of an immense land slide, said be doubted the truth of the announcement, be cause there was no yround for the report. * * They say you are rather fond of a glass of wine occasionally,’ suid Neal Dow to a jolly acquaintance. ‘That’s slanderous and unjust,’ was the reply, ‘thy should say a bottle.’ ‘Take a wife, Tom,’ said Richard Brinsley Sheridan to his wild son Tom, the father ol Mrs. Norton, ‘take a wife, Tom, and reform. 1 ‘With all my heart, 1 neplied Tom, innocently, ‘whose wife shall 1 take?’ Two Things To Be Kept —Your word and your temper. The former when dealing with a printer, and the Jotter when disputing with a woman. This may be difficult, but it can be done by getting two chapters of Job by heart. What a Newspaper does with out Reward. —The result of my ob servations enables me to state as a fact, that puplishers of newspapers are more poorly rewarded than any other classof men in the United States, who invest an equal amount of labor, capital and thought. They are ex pected to do more service for less pay. to stand more sponging dead-heading,’ to puff and defend more people, and sorts of people, wiihout fee or hope of reward, than any o>her class. They credit winter and longer, get ofiener cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss; and are oftener the victims of mis placed confidence than any other cal ling in the community. People pay a printers bill more reluctantly than any other. It goes harder with them to expend a dollar on a valuable news paper than ten on a useless gewgaw; yet every body avails himself of the services of the editor’s and the prin ter's ink. How many professional and political reputations and fortunes have boen created and sustained by the friendly, though unrequited pen of (he editor. How many embryo town and cities have been brought into notice and puffed into prosperity by the press? How many railroads, now in successful operation, would have foundered but for the assistance of the ‘lever that moves the world ;’ in short, what branch of American industry or activity has not been pro moted, stimulated and defended by the press? And who has tendered it more than a miserable pittance for its mighty services ? The bazaars of fashion and folly, the haunts of appetites and adissi pation, are thronged wilh an eager crowd, bearing gold in thir palms, and the commodities there vended are sold at enormous profits, though in trinsically worthless and paid for wilh scrupulous punctuality; while the counting'room of the newspapers is the seat ofjewing. cheapening trade, orders and pennies. It is made a point of honor to liquidate a grog bill, but not of dishonor to repudiate a printers bill —Cleveland Leader. .JPride. —A proud man is a fool in fer mentation, swelling and boiling like a porridge pot.

Messrs. Fitzgerald & Benners, writiug from Waynesville, N. C. says:—The Liver wort and Tar is becoming daily more pop. ular in this county, and we think justly so. All who have tried it speak in commendable terms of it, and say it is very beneficial in alleviating the complaints for which it is re commended.” Our Agent in Pickens District, S. C. Mr, S, R. McFall, assures us that he uses it with great benefit in his own family, and recommends it to his neighbors. He gives mi instances of a Negro womau, in his vici nity, who had been suffering with disease of the Lungs for years, attended with severe cough, who was*relieved by the Liverwort and Tar. Such are the good reports we hear of this Medicine from all parts of the South.

TO BE PUBLISHED MONTHLY In the City of Atlanta, Ga. The object contemplated by this *'nter ’ prise is to furnish the American Public and the IleadiDg World in general, with all the knowledge which the science and genius of the age afford in reference to the laws and j regulations of human health, individually and socially. i Also, freely to discuss the nature and in fluence of those agents by which man is surrounded, as well as the LAWS which connect him as an organic beiug, with them: such as the AIR he breathes, the WATER he drinks, rho FOOD he cats, and the CLO THING that protects him. The subjects of Topography and Climate, of Electricity and Light—their influence upon the functions of Organic Life—th> ir effects and bearing, both direct and collater al upon HUMAN HEALTH—wiII all claim a full share of our attention. All the subjects growing out of Man’s So cial Position—such as PROFESSION OCCUPATION, MARRIAGE, and the like—will be discussed.

MAN’S HABITS will also, be noticed; such as the use of TOBACCO and OPI UM; their influence upon the function of life aud heali h ; their enervating effects up on national character. Also, the moral nature of man, the influ ence of a pure system of religious faith upon his nature, iu sustaining bis health against the overwhelming calamities incident to earth, and the depressing influence of the idea of Death. It will be impossible for me to give a cor rect idea of all that variety of subject ma ter that will legitimately come within the scope of this Journal of Hygiene. The nar row limits of a prospectus like this would uot permit it. But suffice it to say. that all ourenergies will be devoted to the task of making this Journal what i: ought to be—a newly risen star in the firmament ofScience. whose mild beams shall cheer the million homes of America with the light of health and the hope of life. This Journal ought to be in the hands of every physiciau, lawyer, merchant, farmer and mechanic of the land. Come then, you that love health and life—you that prize what is good and noble in mind—a,what is pure and holy in nature—help me strike a blow for the physical regene ation of mao.
