In the morning we moved down to the
James river, to what is called Auld's

Interesting Incident.
"While living at Durtham,'_! says: Dr.-

ry, he knocked his head against an iron
hook fastened in a post in the water,
fracturing-his skull, and injuring the
optic nerve_on one side of his head. He
appeared to suffer terrible pain; he
plunged into the mud, floundered, hither
and thither, and at last, leaping out it
the water, fell'on the bank. On ezami

This I carefttlly restored to its place,
making use of a small toothpick to raise
the splinters of the broken bone. The

pond. and left him to his fate. Next

lay, I examined the wound, and found it
healing nicely. I then strolled, for some

Then went up a shout from the great
multitude. What a dilemma! And yet

LABON.- - There is much truth in- the
statement that none so little enjoy life.
and ail, such burden
, to themselves, as
those Who do nothing. The active only
have the. true" relish of life. He who
knows not what it is to labor, knows not
what it is to enjoy, Recreation is only
enjoyable as it, unbends us. The idle
know nothing of it. It is exertion that
renders rest delightful, and sleep sweet
and undisturbed. That the happineeqs of
life depends on the regular prosecuti on
of some laudable purpose, or lawful call
ing, which engages, helps and enlivens
all of our powers. let those bear witness
who, after spending years in active use
fulness, retire to enjoy themselves; they
can find leisure a burden rather than a
pleasure.
