The other day Dr. Washington, a colored fr( man, was arraigned before a justice of the tv peace, charged with something like mal-med- co ical practice. He had given a colored man ed a dose of mediciue, and the colored man wj didn't live but one hour afterward. The di justice was a colored man, and probably W knew as much of law as the doctor did of medicines. When the doctor had been ar- in raigned, the justice asked: af "Dr. Washington, how long is you been sa practicin' ob medicine ?" th "Sence de wah, sab." th "What books on de fizick an' de human re- be construction did yer study ?" - w< "Oh !

He made no inquiries ge about mail, and after he had been loafing ^ around for two hours, a policeman got his c( eye on him and asked : . "Say old man, have you any business herej"Well, no," was the reply. .1 "Any work to do ?" t "No. I kinder thought I'd lay off this winter." "Any friends here ?" .

"And I think I'll take you down." 81 "Well, I'll go along." ?: The officer escorted him to the station * house, registered his name, and then proceed- 11 ed to search bis pockets. Each one panned t( out a wad of money, making a total of $1,600. 01 "Why didn't you tell us you had this mon- w ey ?" demanded the policeman. n "Why didn't you ask me?" c< "Didn't I say I took you for vagrant, and you didn't deny it either." 8 "Well, I didn't know anything about your h. city laws." quietly replied the old man. "I've got two married daughters, and I come to buy ? each of'em a $600 piano for New Year's, but " if it's ag'in any of your laws I'll take the train for home. I'm getting purty old, and dou't wan't no fuss with anybody. V "Well, you might have saved yourself all c< this trouble," said the officer, as he escorted Q1 him to the street. It "Dou't mention it," was the answer. "If lj I took any trouble on your account it's all b; right and you needu't thank me. I'm al- a: ways willing to oblige anybody whoxian ap- al preciate it.

L , Schoolmistress (pointing to the first letter a of the alphabet) : Come, now, what is that ?" ^ Scholar: I shan't tell you. ( Schoolmistress: You won't; but you must. Come, how, what is it ? Scholar: I shan't tell you. I didn't come y here to teach you, but for you to teach me. 8j A country schoolmaster had two pupils, to r( one of whom he was partial and to the other u severe. One morning it happened that these jj two boys were late, and were called up to account for it. "You must have heard the bell, boys; why 8j did you not come?" if _ "Please, sir," said the favorite. "I was dreaming that I was going to Margate, and 0, I thought the school bell was the steamboat u, bell." w "Very well," said the master, glad of any 0j pretext to excuse his favorite. <ji "And now, sir," turning to the other, 8t "what have you to say ?" "Please, sir," said the puzzled boy, 'I?I was waitiug to see Tom off." ? . ?. _ ?. ai MSF "Did you attend church to-day, as I p< charged you ?" inquired an old planter, in hi the old time, of one of his slaves, as he re turned to his dwelling. "Sartin, raassa," was tb Cudjo's reply; "an' what two mighty big w stories dat preacher did tell!" "Hush ! Cudjo, h< you must't talk that way; what stories were it they?" "Why, he tells de people no man can rs serve two massas?now dis is de fust story, ai 'cause you see old Cudjo sarves you, my ole ai massa, aud also young massa John. Den the a< preacher says, 'he will lub one and hate de a< oder,' while the Lord knows I hate you boff!" "I wish you would keep your mouth shut!" exclaimed Hollemount, the dentist, suddenly losing patience with his patient's ^ predilection for talking. "All right," said the latter, suiting the action to the word. t And then Hollemount asked him if he would , he so kind as to open it again, long enough ~ for him (Holleraount) to get his fiDgers out. You never do know how to please some men. ^ A dental journal says the reason so ct many men fail as orators, is because they have w lost some of their teeth. Bosh! Look at a hen ; hasn't and never had a tooth in her J head ; and did the dental editor never hear a ol hen mount a fence and deliver a two hours' fo Fourth of July oration over one egg no larger ai than a lemon ? w She was a school-teacher, and had to jn teach morals as well as arithemetic, so when ^ a big oath came from a little urchin on the j play ground, she made him climb into her lap and proceeded to tell him to "Swear not j ^ at all." "I didn't swear at all?I jist cursed ooe feller, and you would too, if he'd chucked ! a snow ball down your back." J ^ tSF "Is there anything that will make' fa grain come, up quick ?" asked the gentleman (to farmer of the old husbandman. "Well, no; j o| I dou't know of nothin' that'll do it," was the di genial old fellow's reply, unless it's crows." ! pi Then the gentleman farmer wanted to know pj where he could get some. ! er I .j, fST A Boston man had sixty-five dollars 1 stolen from him. A week afterwards he re- i ceived a letter, containing twenty-five dollars, ^ that read : "I stole your money. Remorse j naws.at my conshens and I send you some of i it back. When remorse naws again I'll send | you some more." I ? j The Senate committee is going to spend ; thousands of dollars in investigating the ' cause of the negro exodus to Kansas, while every one knows that it was caused by South- in ern papers stating that Kansas farmers never B locked the doors of their hen-roosts at night, be ??iv Dte and j A Shadow.?Many things can be learned am a shadow. Let ub take an example or ro. First, suposing we are in a part of the : untry with which we are not much acquaintI, and we want to know the direction in hich we are traveling; we can tell by the , rection in which the shadows are thrown. re have simply to note the time by our j itch, and bear in mind that the sun rises 1 the east, and gets nearly south by midday,- 1 iter which he goes west. We must, at the J me time, bear in mind that the shadow is rown in exactly the opposite direction, so j at when the sun is southeast, as it always is 1 " ! ? I.J if L\_ nore mia-aay, tne snaaows are mrown norLn j 38t. We need but compare the direction in s Inch we are traveliug with the line cast by i ir shadow. Again, suppose we are out walk- ( g, near mid-day, in the summer, and we ive no means of knowing the time, nor the ( rection in which we are walking. Take a . ick?a walking stick will do very well, in- ( fed?plant it upright in the ground; its 1 iadow will be thrown by the sun, provided < is shining at the time, and, as it is near < idday, its shadow will be short, and we can \ 11 whether it is before or after uoon, for, if j sfore midday, the shadow will become short- ] and shorter; if just after, it will increase 1 length. So that in this experiment we get >th an indication of the time of the day and < ie means of telling the four points of the I ?mpass. In this lies the whole secret of the j in-dial. ( The Saw in the Orchard.?Of all the i iuuders that the common farmer, and some ;hers, make with trees, none is so common or i hurtful, and which he is so long in finding it, and which he might know so certainly, i the practice of cutting off lower limbs. 11 over the country nothing is more common lan to see mutilated trees on almost every ; ,rm?big limbs cut off near the body of the ee, and, of course, rotting to the heart. The sry limbs necessary to protect the tree from ind and sun, and just where the limbs are seded most they are cut away. But the reatest injury is the rotting that always takes tace when a big limb is sawed off?too big to sal over, it must rot, and being kept moist y the growing tree, is in the right condition > rot, and, being on the body, the rotting :>es to the heart and hurts the whole tree. ; is common all over the country to see large rchards mutilated in this way. We often >e holes in the trees, where big limbs have een cut away, where squirrels and even rac >ons can crawl in. Perhaps the only reason lese trimmers would give is, that the lower mbs were easier got at, and some would say ley wanted to raise a good crop under the ees. A Wife's Rights.?It is a great mistake >r a husband to keep his wife in ignorance f his business affairs. In ordinary families is she who regulates the outgo, and she light to know what is the income. Not long nee I heard a young wife, just in the early sperience of housekeeping, say : -,How shall know whether we are'living beyond our leans? I can't get any idea of what we have ) spend; and, while I try to be very careful, f course I might spend less on my table if e were getting in debt." Surely she ought ot to be blamed if the debt and credit acjunts are not prosperous. A loving and uxious wife suffers untold imaginary fears if ie sees a tired or perplexed expression on er husband's face unless she is assured of ie truest confidence between them, and knows lat no great concern of his is kept a secret om her. * ^ + The Tvetttevoe op Temper ov FTeat.tft. Vhile excessive labor, exposure to wet aud )ld, deprivation of sufficient quantities of ecessary and wholesome food, habitual bad )dging,8loth, and iutemperance are all deadr enemies to human life, none of them are so ad as violent and ungoverned passions. Men nd women have survived all the former, and t last have reached an extreme old age: but may be safety doubted whether a single inance can be found of a man of violent and rascible temper, habitually subject to storms f ungovernable passion, who has arrived at a ery advanced period of life. It is therefore matter of the highest importance to every ne desirous of preserving "a souud mind in sound body" to have a special care, amid 11 the vicissitudes aud trials of life, to mainlin a quiet possession of his own spirit.? Capital and Labor. How to Measure the Height op Trees. IThen a tree stands so that the length of its ladow can be measured, its height can be jadily ascertained as follows : Set a stick pright?let it be perpendicular by the plumb ne. Measure the length of the shadow of le stick. As the length of its shadow is to le height of the stick, so is the length of the mdow of the tree to its height. For instance ' the stick is four feet above the ground, and s shadow is six feet in length, aDd the shad (v of the tree is ninety feet, its height will s sixty feet (6 : 4 : : 90 : 60). Iu other ords, multiply the length of the shadow f the tree by the length of the stick, and ivide by the length of the shadow of the ick. Rats and Harness.?It is stated, on good iithority, that a teaspoonful of cayenne pep er mixed in a quart of oil, and rubbing the arness with the oil, will effectually protect it gainst the gnawing of rats. It is also said lat an ounce of aloes to one gallon of oil ill afford the same protection. Our remedy sretofore, has been, and we have never known to fail, to hang the harness up so that no its can molest them. But as some people re careless in this respect, the red pepper id the aloes and oil remedy had better be lopted. A frieud at our elbow says carbolic ;id is a sure remedy. Cure for a Self-Sucking Cow.?A sub:riber sends a method of preventing a cow oni sucking herself; this is simply to fasten > the horns a long, sharp pointed stick by leans of strong pieces of twine. The poiuid stick should extend about a foot outside F the horns. This simple contrivance preents the cow from reaching the teat when isposed to suck herself. The stick should ( s removed as soon as it is evident that the >w has lost the inclination to suck herself, : hich will be after a short time. 1ST Simple, cheap and sure, is the verdict r one who has tried the following remedy >r a sore throat. The necessary drugs are i ounce of camphorated oil and five cents' ] orth of chlorate of potash. When any j ireness appears in the throat, put the potash < i half a tumbler of water, and with itgargle 1 le throat thoroughly, then rub the neck thorjghly with the charaphorated oil, at night, sfore going to bed, and also pin around the ; iroat a small strip of woolen flannel. The Turnip as a "Greaser."?In baking i jckwheat and other griddle-cakes, a piece of ' t meat as a "greaser" is by many thought ? be indispensable. Those who are of this ; linion will, on trial, soon learn that a turnip j ivided in two answers the same or a better ( jrpose, as the odor?the most unpleasant < irt of cake baking?comes from the greas in contact with the hot iron, whereas with ie turnip, very little of this is perceptible. ^ i Worms in Horses.?A correspondent asks ( r a remedy for worms in horses.

If Jesus Christ is divine, then in him we lave a divine Saviour, an omnipotent, an omliscient, an infinitely wise, good and just Sariour. He is, and must be, therefore, all we leed?able to save to the very uttermost, rhere are no obstacles in the way which he is iot able to overcome, and no mysteries which le does not comprehend. His ends are the lighest and best, worthy of-a divine being, uid the means and methods which he adopts ire worthy of the ends at which he aims. He s just and right as well as gracious and merjiful. Such a Saviour is certainly all we need. If Jesus Christ is divine, then he is worthy fho rrmfiripnr.p. In trustincr our jouls to liira, we do not commit them to a ireated being who might himself fail, or be;ray his trust. Our Saviour, being almighty, ;an do as he pleases. Being infinite in wislom, he will make no blunders; being faithful mdtrue, all his threatenings will be executed, uidall his promises fulfilled ; being just and righteous, the majesty of law will be sacred in liis eyes ; being infinitely gracious and merciful, it will be in his heart to supply all our needs. We may rest with implicit confidence in this, that he will never deny himself, or fail to be as ?ood as his word. For whatever he promises lis we may trust in him without reserve. All the promises in him are yea and amen. Now, every Christian realizes his need of strong Faith. The constant and universal prayer of the Church is: "Lord, increase our faith." But that it may grow and strengthen into perfect faith, it is needful, most of all, that we study and assure ourselves of the full and complete trustworthiness of our Saviour. This we find in the great fact of his divinity. If Jesus Christ is divine, then he is infinitely lovely. In him is concentrated the comeliness of perfect sinlessness. He is adorned with all the manifold beauties of holiness. In him are all the perfections of the Godhead; and nothing is to be found in the universe, in any order of being, human or angelic, more lovely than the divine. Its comeliness is inapproachable. That it may be brought near to us, that we may see it clearly, understand it fully, and feel its power in Christ Jesus, we have the divine dwelling in the human, God manifest in the flesh. He is indeed the chief among ten thousand and altogether lovely. We need intense love. We who believe, long to exi>erience all the warmth and glow, in our own souls, of perfect love. We pant and pray for the day when we shall love him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. But the more we study the divine beauty of our Saviour, and the more completely we take in his excellency and glory, the hotter will burn the flame of love in our own hearts. If Jesus Christ is divine, then his authority over us is absolute. His rights cannot be disputed. We owe him full submission and implicit obedience. He is our Creator. He is our King and J^ord. He is our Redeemer. We belong to him. There is no authority better grounded than that of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Let us remember this, and let us always and everywhere bow in submission to him and vield him the obedience to which he is entitled. The law which he imposes is holy, and the commandment is holy, just and good. We can attain no higher happiness here than by obeying his precepts. "VVe can do nothing that will more certainly or effectively promote the welfare of men than leading them to submit to his authority and to obey his precepts. Rebellion against him is among the most heinous of sins, and most ruinous to every interest of humanity. If Jesus Christ is divine, he has a right to our devotion. If he is God, we should not only trust him, love him, and obey him in all tilings, but we should honor and worship him as we do the Father. The apostles worshipped him; the martyrs worshipped him ; holy men and women worship him still; the saints in heaven worship him, and the decree has gone forth, "Let all the angels of God worship him." Certainly, then, we too should bow and adore at the throne of our Saviour. But he has a work on his hands in the world. To promote it he became incarnate, obeyed and died ; to push it forward he is now exercising all the authority of the eternal King. He orders his l>eople to go and work in his vineyard. His commissioned servant exhorted men on this wise: "Be ye, therefore, steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord." Certainly, then, we ought to be devoted to his cause, and to spend and be spent in securing its prosperity. If our Saviour is a divine Saviour, then it also follows that mistrust?a want of love, or of submission, a rebellious or disobedient spirit, or an unwillingness to do what we can to establish and build up his kingdom in the world?is a very heinous sin. Let us meditate on these great facts, that we ; may grow up into him in all things who is the head, and sin not.?David A. Wallace, in United Presbyterian. Charity in the Early Christian i Church.?"Behold Christ himself," says Cy prian, "in your captive brethren, and redeem ' j> i.i? ?\ . 11UU1 captivity null WlIU IlclS icuccnicu uo null! death. Snatch from the hands of the barba- 1 rians him wlio has snatched us from the grasp i of the demon, and purchase with money the , liberation of him who purchased us with his . blood." To such appeals no Christian could continue insensible. The heroism of charity was sometimes carried so far that freemen of- : fered themselves to serve instead of captives. Such was the fervor of the love of the brethren ; but charity must not confine itself within ] these limits?it must embrace all mankind, and seek the good of every fellow-creature. Thus, when cruel epidemics ravaged Carthage and Alexandria, the Christians were ever foremost at the bedside of the dying, never asking whether those whom they thus tended had not been among their persecutors. While terror reigned in the desolated villages, as their inhabitants were stricken down in multitudes, | and the unburied dead were spreading death in the air, the proscribed Christians were the only helpers. 4 4If we show kindness only to our own," says Cyprian to his brethren, t4we shall be ho better than the pagans and the publi- j cans. We, as Christiens, are called to return \ good for evil, and to pray for those who perse- * cute us. Since we are the children of God, . let us be like him in compassion." The Chris- ' tians of Alexandria showed themselves no less 1 devoted during the plague which broke out in < their city. Many of them paid with their life j for the courage with which they braved the ep- , idemic by the beside of their worst enemies. When charity has reached this height of self- ] abnegation, so that it can rise above all pri- 1 vate enmities and national distinctions, it is truly a retlexion of the divine and perfect love. It embraces in its pity all who are embraced by the infinite compassion, and it is truly 1 human, because truly divine. The old selfish, exclusive principle is utterly subdued. When Cyprian contnisted the parsimony of the Church with the largesses of the I the world to its prince, who had shed no blood for his subjects, nor won heaven for them, he used a rhetorical license to move the Christians to greater liberality; but he knew that ! the so called sacrifices of the pagan world were made to its own evil passions, and cost it very little, and he could not deny that in that city of Carthage, where his noble example had been so eagerly followed, charity had appeared as a heavenly vision upon an accursed earth.?Be Pressense^s Parly Years of Christianity. Power of Little Things.?Little words, not eloquent speeches nor sermons; little deeds, not miracles, not battles, nor one great act of mighty martyrdom, make up the Christian } life. The little constant sunbeam, not the light uing; the waters of Siloam, "that go softly'' 3ii their meek mission of refreshment, not the waters of the river "great and mighty," rush- . ing down the torrent's noise and force, are the true symbols of holy life. Lamps do not talk, but they do shine. A light-house sounds no :lrum, it beats 110 gong, and yet far over the waters its friendly spark is seen by the mariner. >0 let your actions shine out your religion. ggrWhen a man is told that the whole of religion is summed up in the love of God and the love of man, he is ready to cry out like Oharoya, in Gebir, at the first sight of the sea, 'Is this the mighty ocean? is this all?" Yes, " ill; but how small a part of it do your eyes ! survey! Only trust yourself to it; launch upon it; sail abroad over it?you will find it has no ! j, gild; it will carry you round the world. i 1 ? s gg" Neither days nor lives can be made holy 1 8 by doing nothing in them. The best prayer ; _ it the beginning of a day is, that we may not lose its moments; and the best grace before . meat, is the consciousness that we have justly { earned our dinner. 45 Years Before the Public. THE GENUINE DR. C. MoLANE'S CELEBRATED ' LIVER PILLS, ; FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE. ( Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge ! of the ribs, increases on pressure; i sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach I is affected with loss of appetite and i sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part There is generally a I considerable loss of memory, accom- * panied with a painful sensation of hav- ( ing left undone something which ought < to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would-be beneficial to him, yet he cai\. scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them existed, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. iWe would advise all whe are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane's Liver Pills. The genuine mclane's liver riLLs oear the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros, on the wrappers. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name McLane, spelled differently but same pronunciation.
