MISCELLANEOUS.
- to
A True Story.?It is a remark gener- re
ally applicable to the character of the th
"better half of man, that though she be re
given to censure and admonish her lord g:
in those eloquent philippics, familiarly ej
?- ?i^fnreq. or even enforce v<
caueu curiam . ?. -- her
precepts in the less delicate mode of T
applying the broomstick to his pate?yet ol
she will allow no mortal but herself to a- m
buse or wield the chastening rod over him ci
with impunity; she is as ready to take up bl
the cudgel in his defence as for his correc- ti
tion. And the rule has been noted to work r<
both ways. It is a singular and admirable ei
trail in woman, that she will unhesitating
ly defend the life, property, honor?in
short, "all and singular the rights and ere- ?
dits" of her husband, against the aggres- di
sions of third persons,?even though she P
be most scandalously abused and ill treated
by hira. d
Wqhave not ventured these speculations w
without "a ease in point" to back us. A d
respectable oJd acquaintance of ours says ci
that when he was a young man full of the '<
ardor and chivalry of youth, this adven- l'
ture befel him. "While in a strange part tl
of the country, he came upon a cabin Irom ^
behind which he heard the angry voice of P
a man mingled with the screams of a wo- tl
man, and at regular intervals a hickory n
singing through the air as if well laid tl
on. He rode round the cabin to get a sight t
of the cause of all this clamor, when he a
saw a burly looking fellow thrashing his &
wife like fury, with a slick too formidable "
to be within the meaning of the statute.? v
On perceiving our friend, the belligerants
suspended operations?the "shower of
timber" ceased to fall, and there was a
great calm of a few moments' duration.?
The young man whose wrath had sudden- t
ly waxeu not against me cruel nusnano, c
cried out, "You brute! you rascal! throw I
down that whip, and don't touch the wo- g
man again, or I'll wear it out over your c
own ugly carcass! you savage, you!"
Who should respond to this valiant defiance
but the injured lady herself? Turning
her blowzed hair out of her face, and
giving her fist a portentous shake, 6he
equalled out, "He's as good as you are,
you gawky, good for nothing crccter
you!"?Greensboro' (N. C.) Patriot,
REMEDY FOR SCALDS.
{BY A PHYSICIAN OF PHILADELPHIA.]
have so often seen remedies for human '
ills given to the newspapers, and at once f
consigned to oblivion, that I have for a t
great while hesitated to present this reme- r
y to the public. For fourteen years I a
have prescribed it, and witnessed its ef- *
fects. I deliberately say from fourteen '
years experience, that no disease or Inju- 1
ry to the human system has a more cer- s
tain remedy than this, for ttie most dis- *
tressing of all injuries, that of scalds and I
burns. The relief is almost instantaneous; 1
irom a minuieio nan an nour win usually ?
find full relief from pain. No matter <
what the extent of the burn, even if all
the skin is removed from the body. 1
The first knowledge I had of it was the 1
almost miraculous cure of a little boy, s
who fell into a half hogshead of boiling 1
water, prepared for scalding bristles from 1
swine. The entire person and limbs of {
the boy passed under the water up to the 1
chin, so as to scald the whole neck. On 1
removing his cloths, nearly all the skin '
followed from his neck, hands, back, ab- f
domen, and almost every bit of sk.n from T
his lower extremities! In this deplora- d
ble condition, literally flayed alive, with 1
scalding water, the remedy was prompt- f
ly applied, as a momentary application, *
until physicians should arrive. Twoemi- c
nent physicians soon came, and on learningthe
extent of the scald, pronounced it 1
a certainly fatal case, and directed the 1,
boy to remain with the remedy over him *
until he should die. In six weeks he was 1
reported quite well, with scarcely a scar a
on any . part of his person or limbs. The t!
remedy increases in value from the fact 1
that under almost any circumstances it 1
may be obtained. It is as follows: *
Take soot from a chimney where wood 4
is burned, rub it fine, and mix one part
soot to three parts, or nearly so, of hog's
lard, fresh butter, or any kind of grease, ^
that is not salted, spread this on linen or *
muslin, or any cotton cloth for easier or *
more perfect adaption. If in very ex- 8
tensive burns or scalds, the cloth should
be torn into strips before putting over the /
cald. Let the remedy be freely and fully ,
applied, so as to perfectly cover all the
burned part. No other application is re- j
quired until the patient is well, except to
apply fresh applications of the soot and y
lard, &c. p;
In steamboat explosions, this can in d
nearly all cases be Lt once applied, and if B
done, many valuable lives will be saved, ^
and a vast amount of suffering alleviated. e>\
ti
Public Men.
Taylor, the author of the Statesman,
jkts the following apt observations on the b<
* a bits of public men:
It has been observed that men of great !!
II.. -r , ? . M
attunes are g?ne??i?y oi a large and vigorous
animal nature. I have heard it
remarked by a statesman of high reputation,
that most great men Nave died of ^
over-eating themselves; and without sub- ^
scribing to this remark, I would say that tft
it points to a principal peril iw the ,ife of
such men, namely,, the violent craving for or
one kind of ejccitenreivt which is left as in ftn
a void by the flames of another. If a Bc
statesman' would live long, he must pay a tie
jealous and watchful attention to his diet.
A patient in the fever ward of the hospital,
scarcely requires to be more carefully
gulated in this particular; and lie should 3
?serve<"lhat there are two false appetites
which he is liable??the one an appetite
suiting from intellectual lubor, which
ough not altogether morbid, is not to be y
lied upon for digestion in the same de- / (
ee as that which results from bodily ^
cercise; the other proceeding from ner- ^
his irritability, which is purely fallacious,
hose to whom public speaking is much g
f an effort (and it tries the nerves of ^
ost men, even after they have been ac- j
istomed 1o it for years) should, if possile,
dine lightly at least an hour before ^
\ey are called on to speak, and should y
>sisl the propensity which they feel to .
r.t soon after they have spoken.
The Way to Break Down a Press.
-It has been justly said that an indepenent
Press rests on a firmer basis for sup- ,
ort than one of a contrary character;
nd it has been supposed difficult to break
own such a Press. There is a way in
hich it can be done however. And how
oes the reader think this work can be ac- Z
omplished? By the telling of all sorts of J
es concerning it and its Editors? No. By V
ireats? No. By getting a hireling for
le especial purpose of writing it down? 1
Jo. By the misconduct of unprincipled ri
olitical Postmasters? No, reader; but li
his is the secret: Let any considerable a
lumber of its Subscribers conclude that j
he Editor is not in want of the little sums <?
hey severally owe; let its friends habitu* j
lly delay the fulfilment of their promises t
nd contracts with the Editor, and the {
(tost prosperous establishment in the \
rorld must come down at last." 1

DEATH FROM TIGHT LACING. (
Two weeks since, while on a visit to ,
he house of a respectable, long expcri- (
need physician in one of the Southern
boundary towns in New Hampshire, he
[ave me in substance the following acount
as near as I can recollect.
He was called a week or two previous,
o visit a young female, I think over ]
wenty years of age, who was distressngly
ill of a complaint of the lungs, laioring
under a great difficulty of breathng,
which his discrimination led him at
>nce to impute to a long continued pracice
of tight lacing?a practice which is
ilaying its thousands and tens of thou- !
;ands in our enlightened tand. There i
vas, in his opinion, an adhesion of the i
tings to the chest, and a consequent in- i
lamatiou which had proceeded to such a
might that death was inevitable. Little or
lothing could be done. The poor girl, >
ifter a few days of acute suffering, tell a i
'ictim?(what shall I say? I am unwil- 1
ingto wound the feelings of her friends) <
o her folly and vanity. It would not be i
iuicide, because no such result was conemplated,
though the deed was done by
ler own hand. We can call it no softer
lame than self slaughter for such even
in external examination of the body proved
it to have been.
The shoulder blades were found to be
ilerally lapped one over the other; the
alse ribs had been so compressed that the
space of only about an inch and u half reTwined
between them; and so great was
he curvature of the spine which had been |
rirded in by the cords of death, that af- (
er the corpse was laid out for interment, (
wo pillows Were put under the arch
hereby formed, while the shoulders restid
on the board. She was a large healthy
>erson, and was ignorantly led by the
lesire to please, to sacrifice her life at
he shrine of fashion, and the prevailing
alse idea of beauty of form. Site was
aid to be of an amiable disposition ar.d
orrect moral habits otherwise,
My own mind was so impressed with
he recital of this story, that I could hardy
forbear weeping over the folly, and
weakness, and ignorance, and wickedless
of my sex. 1 inwardly wish for the ^
bility to ring this case of suffering and t
leathin the ears of every female in our j
and, until their voluntarily assumed
