SOOTHING SYRUP,
FOR CHILDREN TEETHING,
which greatly facilitates the process of teething, by soften
ing the gums, reducing all lulhunation, will allay poinand
spasmodic action, andisruro to regulate the Bowel*. i
Depend upon it. Withers, it will give rest to y ourselves.
ond ßelief and Health to you Infants.
We have put up and sold this article for over ten years,
and can say, iu confidence and truth of It, what we have
never been able to say.of any other medicine—never has it
failed, in a single instance, to effect a cure, when timely
used. Never did we know an instance of dissatisfaction by
any one who used it. On the contrary, all are delighted
with its operations, and speak in terms of highest commen
dation of its magical effects and medical virtues; We speak
of this matter “ whaVwo do know,” after ten years’ expe
rience, and pledge our reputation for the fulfilment of what
we here declare. In almost every instance where the in*
fant is suffering from pain and exhaustion, relief will be
found in fifteen or twenty minutes after the syrup Is ad
ministered.
Tills valuable preparation is the prescription of one of
the most experienced and skillful nurses in New England,
and has been used with never-tailing Success in thousands
of case*.
It not only relieves the child from pain, but invigorates
the stomach and bowels, corrects acidity, and gives tone
and energy to the whole system. It will almost instantly
relieve Griping in the Dowels and Wind Colic , and over
come convnlsolns, which. If not speedily remedied, end in
death. We believe it tho best and surest remedy in the
worhl. in all cases of Dysentery and Diarrhoea in children,
whether it arises from teething or from any other cause.—
We would say to every mother who has a child suffering
from any of the foregoing complaints— hlo not let your pre
judices, nor tbo prejudices of others, stand between your
suffering child and the relief that will be sure—yes, abso
lutely follow tho use of this medicine, If timely
used. Full directions for using will accompany each bot
tle. None genuine unless the fac-eimile of CURTIS A
PERKINS, New York, is oh the outside wrapper.

The process by which it is sought to
render cannon immediately unserviceable
has by recent events been brought promi
nently before tho public attention. It is
an operation which may bo done quickly. ’
Tho officer in command of battery, per-'
ceiving that he will be driven off without
being able to bring away his guns, spikes
them, so, as to render them useless to their
captors, as well as to prevent them from
being turned against him while retreating,
or on the line, on which ho intends to fall
back. The commander of a fort, on aban
doning it, as in the instance of Anderson
at Moultrie, adopts the same measure.—
J?reqnent cases arc on record of an attack
ing party capturing a battery, and being
in turn driven from it, though not with
out first spiking the guns. When Paul
Jones undertook tbo destruction of the
English shipping at Whitehaven, his first
movement on landing was. to
forts, and. render tho guns useless in the
same way. The only defences of the hat
SPIKING CANNON.
bor thus rendered harmonies by a stroke of
daring which required :but a row minutes
to accomplish, he could proceed unmoles
ted. to the work of destruction. The great
point achieved by spiking a gun is to make
it unserviceable for the-time being. Even
a temporary interruption of its fire ia of
the utmost importance. But no spiking
yet invented has been able to do more than
temporarily disable th'c gun, though va
rious contrivances have been; suggested,
some, however, making its restoration
more difficult than others.
A favorite mode of spiking is by driving
a rat-tail file into the vent, and breaking
it off. If the spike be an ordinary nail,
made of soft iron, the; drill will readily
remove it; while the hard steel of the
file will require far greater time'and labor.
The steel spike, rough and jagged, with a
soft point, is also used. If broken off
even with the surface of the gdn, and the
point clinched inside % the rammer, re
moval is made more difficult. If the spike
happens to be so small; as to fit in losely,
it may bo driven out by gunpowder; but
hut if it be made of hardened steel, with
an accurate fit to the vent, and is driven
in with great force, neither drill nor pow
der will remove it. A patent spike was.
brought out in England daring the Cri
mean war, which claimed to make a gun
permamently unserviceable. It consisted
of a rod of finely-tempered steel, turned to
fit the vent but to move Jreely in it, and
terminating in a forked spring in the bore
of the gun. It was contended that this
spike could not be drilled out, because it
would turn with the drill. But though
this were true, yet its inventor forgot the
important fact that the forked points in
the bore could be cut off by a single blow
on a cold chisel. When a spike is so fixed
as to tender extraction very difficult, the
remedy is to drill a new' vent, which may
bo done without impairing the usefulness
of the gun. To de this a competent ma
chinist will require some three hours, or
more or less according to the size of the
gun. But all spiking of the vent is ad
mitted to be only a temporary expedient
to render artillery unserviceable at the
moment. Yet even this has often been
found productive of the most important
results.
When time is afforded, such; as the de
liberate abandonment of a military work,
spiking at the muzzle is sometimes adopts
ed, and when thoroughly done, with far
greater embarassment to those who subse
quently come into possession. A shot is
driven into the bottom of the boro by
wrapping it with felt, or using iron wedges
and employing an iron: rammer to drive
the ball home. When this is done to an
iron gun, the only method of nnspiking it
is to oore a hole ijuthe breech and drive
the ball out, hole with a screw,
To do this, the gun, in most cases, must
go back to the foundry. In brass guns,
which usually have ycnt-picccs, these can
be taken out and the ball expelled by
wedges. Various modes for destroying
cannon arc adopted. Shells are sometimes
exploded in them, \yhilc heavy charges
are put in others, over which Sand or shot
is rammed to the muzzle, and bursting
follows. One piece 'is sometimes fired
against another, muzzle to muzzle, or the
muzzle of one to be chase of the other.
In iron gans the trunfiions are broken off;
with brass ones, a fire is lighted under the
chase, and when struck with a heavy
sledge while heated, the gnn is bent and
disabled. Had time been allowed Colonel
Anderson to destroy the cannon in Fort
Moultrie before abandoning it, there can
be little doubt, from his long experience
as an artillery officer, that the would have
left to the rebels a legacy of crippled guns
unfit for anything but'the foupdry.
A Lesson in Obedience.
“Jack! Jack! here,'sir! hie on!”cried,
Charlie, flinging his stick far into the pond.
Jack didn’t want to go; it wasn’t pleasant
swimming in among the great lily leavcsj
that would flap against his nose and eyes,
and get in the way of his feet. So he
looked at the stick and then at his master,
and sat down, wagging his tail, as much as
to say, “You’re a verylittlo boy, but there
was no need of you’re l throwing the stick
in the water, and I don’t think I’ll s>lige
you by going, after it.’*
■ But Charlie waa determined. He found
another switch, and, by scolding and whip
ping, forced Jack into'the water, and made
him fetch the stick. : He dropped it on
the bank, however, instead of bringing it
to bis master; so he had to go over the
performance again and again, until he had
learned that when Chirms told him to go
for tho stick he was to obey at onCc.—
Charlie was satisfied at length, and with
Jack at his heels, wont home to tell his
mother about the afternoon’s work. He
seemed quite proud of it. “ jit was pretty
hard work, mother" ho said. “Jack
wouldn’t mind at all until 2 made him;
but now he knows that he has to do it,
and there’ll be no mote trouble with him,
yen’ll see.”
- “ What right have you to expect him.to
mind you ?” asked hia mother
“ Bight, mother I Why, he is mj'dog 1

And I’m always kind to him. I call him

lay hia head on my knee., Indeed I think
I’ve the best right to have "him mind me!*’
His mother was cutting ant a jacket.
She did not look ap when Gbarue had
finished; but going on steadily with her
work, said slowly, “ I have a little boy.—
He is.my own. He was given''to me by
my Heavenly Father. I do everyUiing
for him. I make his clothes, and prepare
the food he eats. I teach him his lessons
and nurse him tenderly when he is uok.
Many a night have I set up to watoh by
his side when fever was burning him, aha
daily I pray to God for every blessing upon
him. 1 love him. I call him my dear
little son. He sits on my lap, and goes
to slecp with his head on my arm. I
think 1 have < the best right in the world’
to expect this little boy to mind mo, and
yet he does not, unless I make him, as I
would make a dog.”
“Oh, mothers” cried Charlie, tears
starting to his eyes, “ I know it was wrong
to disobey you, but I never thought before
how mean it was. Indeed Ido love yea,’
and I’ll try—l really will try —to mind
"you as well as Jack minds me.”
“ Dear Charlie,” said his mother, “ there
is a great difference between you and Jack.
You have a soul. You know what is right,
because you have been taught from the
word of God; and you know, too, that
the Devil and your wicked heart anil al
ways be persuading you to do wrong.—
That is a trouble which Jack cannot have,
but neither has he the comfort you have;
for you can pray to our dear Savior for
help, and he will teach you to’tUru away
from Satan, and to love and obey Him
alone. When you learn to do this you
will not find it difficult to be obedient to
me; for it will be just the same as obey
ing God, who has said, ‘ Honor thy father
and thy mother;' and where wc truly love
it is easy to obey."
