Or take the case of Livingstone, the
African traveler. I do not su noose;
thpt any one of his family in Canada
of' Scotland, an person who knew him
during his last twp visits home, any
member of the lloyal . t'eographical
.Society, or even Mr. .Stanley himself,
has any doubt why Mr. Livingstone
has not been and does not come home.
It is well enough to talk about geo
graphical discoveries. Undoubted V
these have their weight: Hut who
ever supposes that the delights of a
wild, roving life have nothing to do
with the quondam missionary's per
sistent stay in Africa leaves" out an
important element in that equation.
As long ago as 185. Livingstone's .ec
centricities were the talk of his L'nglish
friends. He disliked life in England as
lie found it on his visits. Public no
toriety was his abhorrence. Sir Rod
erick Murchison Insisted upon his pi cs
once at great meetings, but he always
left the plat form' in disgust. For years
in Afiica, it was hi wile's influence
only that kept him within bounds..
The conventionalities of civilized liib
were irksome to him. He loved free
dom. Renown in Kurope. weighed
against liberty in Africa, kicked the
beam. And his persistent stay among
these dusky barbarians, adopting 'their
modes of life, sharing in their habitude
of dailr existence, and sqifaring his
wants. to there supplies, can be satis
factorily explained in one way onlv:
savage life has charms for him which
he does not care to resist.
The Valve of a Xkwspaplk. The
following is the expeiier.ee of a me
chanic concerning the benefit of a
newspaper :
Ten e:us ago I lived in a tow n in
Indiana. On returning home ono
night, for I am a carpenter by trade,
I saw a little gill leave my door, and
asked my wile who she was. Site
said Mrs. Harris had sent her after
their newspaper, which my wife had
borrowed. As we sat down to tea,
my wife said to me, by name:
"I w Uh you would .subscribe, for the
newspaper; it is so much comfort i,t
me when you are away from home.'
"I would like to do so," said I, "but,
you know I owe. a payment, on the
hou; and lot. It w ill be all I can do
to meet it."
She replied: "If yon will t:-.kc this
paper, I will iew for the tailor to pav
for it."
I subscribed for the paper: it r.ime
in due time to the shop. While rest
ing one noon and looking over it, I
saw an advertisement of the Couuty
Commissioners to let a bridge that
was to be built. I put in a bid tor
the bridge, and the job was awarded
to me, on which I cleared $:jiQ, which
enabled mo to pay for my house and
lot easily, and for the new-spa per. If
I had not subscribed for the newspa
per f cbeild not have known anything
about the contract, and could not have
met my payment on my house and
lot. A mechanic never loes anything
by taking a newspaper.

strongly inclined to believe that we

TiiE Lovf.k's Lkxtkh. A bashful
3ung man wrote an avowal of love
to a voung .lady, and waited an an
swer through the mail. He got the
letter next evening, and, hurrviinr to
me iKKiniuiv uotise wiiti it, was on the
point ol residing it, when some one
came to the door, and ho was obliged
to shove it quiekiy in his pocket. He
next went to a saloon, ami taking a
position in a retired corner, was about
to open the missive, when the passing
to and fro of strangers made him more
timid, and he again shoved it into his
pocket, and slunk out of doors. He
tried several places with no better suc
cess, and finally returned home and
at once w ent to bed, where he remained
in a state of awful suspense until not
a noise, was heard in the house, and
then, being assured that he was en
tirely free from interruption, he stoh?
quietly out of bed, opened the letter
with trembling fingers, and through a
mist of tears saw that he was indebt
ed to the druggist for five bottles of
pomade, 2.75'.
Shot as a Mktucim. Dr. May
dieu, of France, has revived the oi l
practice of giving shot for bilious
colic. His method is, to take So. 5
shot, after carefully washing them
with sweet oil, and give a desert spoon
ful every half hour. He claim that
in five or six hours the vomit ing ceases.
The editor of the "Pacific Medical and
Surgical Journal" rebi.e-'t !io following
anecdote, illustrative of this treatment:
A clergyman was taken very sick and.
stopped at the house of a good old
lady, who was familiar with the treat
ment, who stated that she had no shot,
but a bullet that would answer the
purpose. iS'ie gave' it to the divine,
who, afert I cing asjured of its great
efficacy, swallowed if, and to his joy
and surprise found flint in a very short
time he was entirely relieved of the
f.i'io. fJefore leaving he expressed
some d.T.iht to the cH lady about the
piece of leid so heavy findir.g its way
through the bowels. "Oh, nay," she
replied, "you need have no anxifty
about that, as it has been through me
ten or twelve times."
