When the fever is,yioleut.,and the joints greatly swollen and verjj*. painful* the phrases acute rheumatism, articular rheumatism and rheumatic fever are 1 indiscriminately used; and when the whole surface is swollen and painful, with a correspondingly less 'degree of mflamation in the jointer, the^ term inflammato? ry rheumatism is applied.

The following anecdote, extracted from un? published memoirs of a French nobleman, may, it is hoped, serve as an example well worthy of being imitated by all who desire to be thought truly brave and courageous. It records an in? stance of a victory gained by a man over his own passions?victory more glorious, more hon? orable than any that has ever been purchased with fire and sword, with devastation and blood? shed. Two noblemen, the Marquis de Valaise and the Count de Meric, were educated under the same masters, and were regarded by all who knew them as patterns of friendship, honor and sensibility. Years succeeded years, and no quarrel had ever disgraced their attachment, when one unfortunate evening the two friends having indulged rather freely in some excellent Burgundy, repaired to a neighboring hotel and engaged in a game of backgammon.- Fortune declared herself in favor of the Marquis; he won every game, and in the thoughtless glee of I the moment he laughed with exultation at his ' unusual good luck. The Count lost his temper, and.once or twice upbraided the Marqnis for enjoying the pain which he had excited in the bosom of a friend. At last, upon another for? tunate throw made by the Marqnis, by which he gammoned his antagonist, the infuriated Count threw the box and dice in the face of his brother soldier. Every gentleman present was in amazement, and waited, almost breathless, for the moment when the Marquis would sheath his sword in the bosom of the now repentant Count. "Gen? tlemen," said the Marquis, "I am a French-; man,- a soldier; and a friend. I have received a blow from a French man, a soldier, and a friend. I know and acknowledge the laws of . ..onor, and I will obey them. Every man who sees me wonders why I am tardy in visiting :with vengeance the author of my d^grace.? But, gentlemen, the heart of that man is en? twined with my own; our education was , the same, our principles are alike, and our friend jship dates from our earliest yean. But, French? men, I will obey the laws of honor and of (France; I will stab him to the heart". . { Upon this he threw his arms around his un jhappy friend and said: "My dear de Meric, I forgive you, if you will forgive me for the irri? tation I have occasioned in a sensitive mind by the levity of my own. And now, gentlemen/' added the Marquis, "though I have interpreted the laws of honor in my own way, if there re? mains in this room one Frenchman who dares tp| doubt my resolution to resent even an im? proper smile at roe, my sword is by my side to Sunish an affront, but not to murder a friend ir whom I would have died, and who sits there a monument of contrition and bravery, ready with me to challenge the rest of the room to deadly combat if any man dare to think amiss of this transaction/' ??-jHr* Thj3 .Fastest Time Ever Made ok a Southern Railroad.?The Mobile Register, jof. the 1st instant, says: The fastest time recorded on any Southern jrailroad was made yesterday by the special ; train on the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas Road, which brought to our city Col. Thomas A. Scott, the railroad king, and his party, jnen tion of which is made elsewhere. Through the countesy of Mr. W. J. Phelps, the efficient and valuable Assistant and acting General Supenn j tendeut of the road, a special train was placed at the disposal of the party. With a view of showing the distinguished railroad gentleman ! what, a Southern road could do, Mr. Phelps placed a train in charge of Mr. W. J. Colby, '? one. of the oldest, most careful and experienced 'conductors in the company's service, and select? ing the best engine, No. 12, and the best en igineer, Mr. P. Quigley, directed them to travel j with a speed consistent with safety. Assisted by Mr. R. W. Gillespie, General Passenger Agent, who volunteered for the occasion,.Mr. Colby started with his train from New Orleans at 8 ft. m., and, the track being in splendid or? der, the engine was driven at lightning speed. So smooth and easy was the locomotion, free 'from jolts and jars, that the passengers were unaware of the high rate of speed tney were traveling until the train dashed into Mobile, making the unprecedented run, for a Southern train, of 140 1*5 miles in three hours thirty .seven minutes. The fastest run was made from Summit Station, a distance of twenty miles from Mobile, in the alarming time of a mile a im i nute. i Things We Like to See.?We like to see young ladies who are bitter enemies kiss each jother very affectionately when they meet It reminds us of a man named Judas who lived several years ago.

We like to see a man sporting fast hor-' ses, while ho owes the printer and gives noth? ing to the minister?it looks honorable ! There are many other things which we would like to. see, bill we forbear. The Great Mission of. Woman.?Great indeed Ls".the task aligned to woman! Who can elevate its dignity? Not to make laws, not to lead armies, not to govern empires ; but to form those by whom laws are made, armies led, and empires governed; to guard against the slightest taint of bodily infirmity, the frail, yet spotless creature, whose moral no less than physical being must be derived from her; to inspire those principles, to inculcate those doc? trines, to animate those sentiments which gen? erations yet unborn, and nations yet uncivil? ized, will learn to bless; to soften firmness into mercy, and chasten honor into refinement; to exalt generosity into a virtue with a soothing care; to allay the anguish of the mind; by her tenderness to disarm passion ; by her puri? ty to triumph over guilt; to cheer the scholar sinking under his toil. Such is her vocation. The couch of the tortured sufferer, the prison of the deserted friend, the cross of the rejected Saviour?these are theatres on which her greatest triumphs have been achieved. Such is her destiny : to visit the forsaken, to tend to the neglected ; when monarchs abandon, when counsellors entrap, when justice prosecutes, when brethren and disciples flee, to remain un? shaken and unchanged, and to exhibit to this lower world a type of that love, constant, pure and ineffable, which in another we are taught j to believe the test of virtue. ? It is common belief that "ballooning" is ! an exceedingly dangerous business. Perhaps I this is partly due to the fact that many ascents I arc ''unheralded and unknown," but every ac I cident is recorded and spread abroad with j amazing rapidity. At any rate the London I Teltgraph having asserted that one-half of the number of professional aeronauts had been killed in the exercise of their vocation. Mr. i Coxwcll, an aeronaut replied, and denied the \ fact, asserting that of the thirty-five hundred ascents made in Europe and America, fifteen deaths only have been recorded. This exhibit ,is certainly a more favorable one than the ker? osene mortality list. , ?Twas None of His Funeral. A Western paper tells a story of a deaf gen? tleman's mistake. It seems that in the proces? sion that followed good Deacon Jones to the grave last summer, the Rev. Mr. Sampler, the new clergyman of East Town, found himself in the same carriage with ? an elderly man be had never before met. They rode in grave si? lence for a few moments, when the clergyman endeavored to improve the occasion by serious conversation. "This is a solemn duty in which we are en? gaged, my friend," he said. '?Hey ? What do you say, sir?" the old man "returned. "Can't you speak louder ? I'm hard of henrin' 1" "I was remarking," shouted the clergyman, "that this is a solemn road we are traveling to* day." . "Smdj!rbadj Tou don't call this 'ere san? dy, db-ye?- Gness^you ain't been dbwu to the South deestrict.. There's a stretch of road on 'the Old pike that beats all I ever seed for hard traveling Only a week before Deacon Jones was tuk sick, I met him drivin' his ox-team along there, and the sand was pretty nigh up to the hubs of the wheels. The Deacon used to get dreadfully riled 'bout that piece of road; and East Town does go ahead of all creation for sand." The young clergyman looked blank at the unexpected' turn given to his remark; but quickly recovering himself, and raising his voice ttTthe-highest pitch, he resumed the'Cdtt versation. ..... "Our friend here has done with ail the dis comfortsof earth," "he said, solemnly. "A small spot of ground will soon cover his senseless clay.'V r ?"~y < ", ? i 1 I *\Did you say clay, sir ?" cried the old man eagerly. "'Tain't nigh so good to cover sand with as medder loam. Sez I to Mr.;Brewer, last town-meetin' day, 'if you'd cart on a'few dozen loads?and there's acres of it on the river bank,' sez I?'you'd make as pretty a piece of road as there is in Hartford County.1' But we arc slow folks in East.Town, sir." ? It was, perhaps, fortuiiate for the clergyman at that moment that the smell of new-made hay from a neighboring field suggested a' fresh train of thought '?Xbokf'said he, with a graceful wave of the hahd ; "what an emblem of the brevity of human life ! 'As .'the grass of the .field; so man flourisheth, and to-morrow he is cut down,'" "I. don't calculate to cut mine till next week," said his.companion. "You musn't cut grass too 'arly; and then, again, .you musn't cutit too late," . ^ "My friend!" shrieked the" clergyman,:in* last desperate attempt to make himself under? stood, "this is no place for fain conversation! We are approaching the narrow house of all the living/' : The?' were entering the graveyard, but the old man stretched his neck from the carriage window in the opposite direction. "Do you mean 58quire Hubbard'.- over yonder? 'Tis rather narer. They build all them new-fangled houses that way now. To my mind they ain't nigh so handsome nor so handy as the old fashioned square ones with a broad entry run nin' demrthrough to the back door." WeTT7 this is the .gettin'-out place, ain't it? Much obleeged tvye; parson, for-your ehtertainin' remarks." . ? The following is from the Hillsboro. (N. C.) Recorder ': "Mr. Richard Hargis, who lives near Bradsher's store, Pearson -eounty, N. C.j thirty odd years ago turned out a. sassa? fras tree to grow for the purpose of making himself a coffin, and about twelve months ago the old man had it cut down, and-got someone in Roxb?rough to make his .coffin out of it. The old chap occasionally gets In and stretches himself out by way of showing his neighbors a 'good fit.' He paid the maker of the coffin in wheat?so he is one living man who will have no fuss over bis grave about the coffin when dead. This reminds us of an old coon inMur freesboro, N. C, who had a coffin cast of iron before ' the war. He had his grave dug, also, and walled up with brick, with a magnificent tombstone) setting forth his name,date of birth, and fixing bis death 'somewhere about the year 1861.' But he was alive and kicking in 1869. The old chap kept his cast-iron coffin in his corn-crib, and used to shell corn in it. The crib needed no lock at night." i -TT A Texas merchant writes to the New York Journal'of' 'Commerce to'ask the following ques? tion : "Suppose that with an unsullied reputa? tion it has tak.cn me s;x years to make au hon? est living, while in that time I have-s'een thir? ty-two scamps go through the door of insolven? cy into an improvement of their estate, Lovf long will it be before I will lay by something for old age P* ' The Journal answers: "A man who has lived an active, unsullied life in the midst of such temptations for six years, has al? ready laid by something for the future; and there is One who will keep what he has com? mitted to Him, so that he will find that he'has a g?dd foundation against the time to come.
