The doctor came to dress the little boy’s wounds, and found that both his arms had been broken, and om oi his ribs. The doctor was very kind and Johnny bore the pain like a little hero. . M rfin, for such was tho gen tlcmaii’s n unc, and nil his family trained him with utmost tenderness and affection, and never wearied in their attention to him. Ho hud been iu the family of Mr. Morfin a week without having been asked anything respecting his histo ry. They had hoped that hi3 friends would make enquiry for him; and for this purpose au advertisement bad bi on inserted iu each of the city pa ri s; but the week passod without result. ao day Mrs. Morfin asked him, olirmy how long had you been . when you got hurt ?” ■Only one day.” “Where did you come from ?” “From S.” “Wereyou alone?” “Yes, ma’am.” And then Johnny told her all he knew about himself: about bis moth er, about the s, -.am boat and Us cap tain, about the stroll lie had taken in tho city, and his undo John.

The Savannah Morning News says : “Grant isn’t a professional orator. He doesn’t make a speech unless it is absolutely necessary. He told the people of Maine in one of his famous public addresses that if he didn’t come to see them oftener in the past than he had done seldom in the future, he wouldn’t visit ’em pretty scarcely, or words to that effect. The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one of then comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won‘t. d|&lmtb![£ |{ccfp ► )RENDER PATER FIRE-PROOF Whether tho paper ho plain printi and on, or even innrhle, stain, ed, or painted, for hangings, dip it in a strong solution of alum water and then thoroughly dry it. In this state it will be fire-proof. This will be readily known by holding a slip, thus prepared, over a can dle. Somo paper requires to imbibe moro of the solution than >y a single immersion ; in which case tho dipping and drying must bo repeated, till it become fully saturated. Neither the color nor quality of the paper will ho in the least affected by this process, but, on the contrary, will ho improv ed. To IkCKT.E Onions.—But a suffi cient quantity into salt and water for nine days, observing to change the water every day ; next, put them into jars and pour fresh boiling salt and water over them, cover them up close till they arc cold, then make a second decoction of salt and water, and pour it on boiliDg. When it is cold, dmin the onions on a hair sieve, and put them Into widemouth ed bottles ; fill them up with distilled vinegar: put into every bottle a slice or two of ginger, a blade of mace, and a teaspoonful of sweet oil; which will keep the onions white. Cork them well up in a dry place. To Pickle Cucumbers.—Let them be as free from spots as possiole ; take the smallest (hat can be got, put them them in strong salt and water for nine days, till they become yellow ; stir them at least twice a day; should they become perfectly yellow, pour the water off and cover them with plenty of vine leaves. Set the water over the fire, and when it boils, pour it over them, and set them on the hearth to keep warm. When the water is almost cold make it boil again, and pour it upon them; proceed thus till they are of a fine green, which they will be in four or five times ; keep them well covered with vine leaves, with a cloth and dish over the top to keep iu the steam, which will help to green them. When they are greened put them in a h:<ir sieve ‘o drain, and then to every two quarts of white wine vine gar put half an ounce of mace, ton or twelve cloves, an ounce of ginger, cut into slices, an ounce of black pep per, and a handful of salt. Boil them all together, for five minutes ; pour it hot on tho pickles, aud tie down for use. They may also be pickled with ale, ale Vinegar, or dis til <1 vinegar, and adding three* or fur cloves of garlic and shalots. In what vehicle did the man ride who was driven frantic? When ft man re volves much in his mind, does it make dizzy? If all things are for the best, where do the rations for the second best, come from? What is the exact width of a broad grin?
