/"\KE MILLION OK LIVES SxVVED
At is one of the remarkable facta of this re-
markable ago. not merely that so many persons
are the victims of.dyspepsia or indigestion, but
its willing victims.. Now, wo would not be uu
dorstood to say that any one regards dyspepsia
with favor, or feels disposed to rank it among
the luxuries of life. Far irom it. Those who
Have experienced Its torments would scout such
an Idea. All dread it, nml-would gladly dispemo
• with Ua unpleasant familiarities. Mark Tapley
who was jolly under all the trying circumstan
ces in which he was placed,never bad an attack
of dyspepsia, or bin Jollity would'have speeclljy
forsaken him. Men and women sometimes
suffer its tortures uncomplainingly, bat’whoev
er heard of a person who enjoyed them ?
Of all the multifarious diseases to which the
human system Is liable, there Is perhaps no One
so generally prevalent ns dyspepsia. TUfere are
"diseaßoirworq’Ti'BTitirisatt’TJWHfiriT'Tiutl''"which"
more frequently prove fatal, but none, the ef
fects of which arc so depressing to the mind ami
so positively distressing to the bofly. II there Is
a wretched being in the world it Is
A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC.
But jt Is not onr Intention to dlscantonthe hor
tors of Dyspepsia. To describe them truthfully
Is simply an impossibility, but It Is possibly to
point out a remedy! We havoaald that dyspep
sia la perhaps the moat universal of human dis
eases. This la emphatically the case in the
United Stales. Whether' this 'general.'preva
lence Is duo to the character qt the food, the
method of ua preparation, or the hasty manner
In which It Is usually swallowed. Is not our pro
vince to explain. The groat fact with which wo
are culled to deal Is this:
.'DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS
almout Mnlveiimlly.
Nearly every other person, you'meet Is u vic
tim, an apparently willing one, for were this not
the case, why so many lufterera, when n certulh,
speedy and safe remedy Is within tire easy
reach of all who desire to avail themselves of It?
But the majority will not. Blinded bv preju
dice, or deterred by some other unexplained in
fluence, they refuse to accept the relief profer
cd them. They turn a deaf ear to the testimony
of the thousands whoso sullcrJngs have been al
leviated, and with strange Infatuation, appear
to cling with d>speruto determination To iholr
ruthless tormentor. 'But*says a dyspeptic:
What is this remedy ? to which wo reply! This
great alleviator ofhuman suffering Is almost as
widely known os tire English language. It has
allayed the agonies of thousands, mu) ks to-day
carrying comfort and encouragement to thou
sands of others. This acknowledged panacea is ;
none other than

not a rum beverage. ‘ •
They are not alcoholic in any. sense of.the
term. They are composed' wholly of the pure
Juice or vital principle of- roots. This is not a
mere assertion. The extracts from which they
are compounded ore prepared by one of.the
ablest Gorman chemists. Unlike any other
Bitters In the market, they .are wholly fre.o from
‘spirituous Ingredients, The objections which
hold with so much force against preparations of
this class, namely—that a desire for Intoxicating
drinks is stimulated by their use,'are not valid
In the cose Of .the German Bltlel s,' Bo’fur from

THE BUCCANEERS Ot THE AOaiATIC,
Dating the years 1834, , 36 J aml ’3O, there
wejreviuany,daring committed
ujjdri the, waters of theAdnitfUc Sea, and
mostly upon, the Ttaliah coast>between -
Fort Fermo^ariU v SidigagUa,'» These dep-
upon vessels of

bad reason to believe that. one gang did
it all.
Various expeditions had been fitted but
agtypsfr the bold and daring .buccaneers,
biit without avail. Once, in. the aiimin-erof
} 35, a small vessel was .filled with soldiers
andsent out from Ancona as » decoy.—
She cruised up and* down the- coast for
some weeks, but the pirates did .not show
themselves., One afternoon she passed
the high promontory ofPorleMou to Wan to
•anti fn two hours afterwards; a V enetian
brig was boarded'at that point by four
boats and robbed of everything she hud.
ou board worth taking. The government
vessel got the newsstand put'back ; but
she could not find either pirates nor theft*
boats. ‘ ,
Thus matters went on until (he spring
?3G- .During the,month of May; ;a few
private individuals, merchants of Crevia,
fitted out a small lelucca with seventy
five well armed men concealed beneali)
the deck; and this! craft took her wav

their mu*k.eta. upon the retreating foe.;
but, us it was their object to give chase
nowJ|i tt^r^atldlearn,U possible,whether
the rascals went on shore, they put about
and got out their sweeps.
The pirates for a while, seemed to have
the best of it; but, by-und-by, the felucca’s
sails caught a fresh puff of air, ami. she
began to gain. The pirates ran up the
river nearly two nutes, where they left
their boats, ami took to the shore, quick
ly disappearing within, n thick wood.’
The pursuers were not long behind, nml
the wood was thoroughly searched, but
the villains were not'there. Beyond this
the soldiers found a 'high hill, with a large
convent at the lop. They ’made their way
to the building, the site which comman
ded an ekTeuMvo view, and thence gazed
around upon the open country, anil upon
the distant sea, but they could see noth-
ing of the pirates. They knocked at the
gale of the convent, where they asked of
tiie porter—an old Capuchin —if lie had
seen a body of armed men pass that way.
He had seen nothing of the kind.
So the Cervian odicers returned boot
less to their homes, for they could not
hope to inveigle the pirates out again. -
The people ajl up aud dpwn the shore
of.the rich'and poor, began now
to take an interest in this matter, for it
was very evident that these high ofleml
ers were multiplying, aud their depreda
tions becoming more hold and extended.
And the astonishment was great, too,
that these parlies could not be captured,
Some of them had been seen by the fiab
erman upon the coast, who pronounced
them a fierce, bold and savage looking
set of men. It was a general source of
wonder how they had thus fur escaped.

THE GYPSIES.
Children of the summer in a more pre

gypsies,'who' early in the spring: take
themselves ’to their Wagons, and move
slowly from camp to camp along the road
aides all thei summer Ipng, asking noth
ing of the season hut its pleasant weather,
well knowing that their lazy shrewdness
can provide, the rest. Their condition
has wonderfully improved in these later
years. Whether as a people \ve have be -
come sufficiently wealthy and succulent
for the better encouragement of this par
asitic life, I can only guess; hut certain
ly the circumstances of those whb'stand

whether to.-consider at least unhappy
those whose fortune it was toridecouched
upon their piled up trumpery beneath the
low rounded covers of the, wagons, or
they who, from infant to patriarch,
muddy with' sweat' and dust, trudged
alongside, or struggled with choking
.desperation in 'the smother behind.—
Fearful of openly trespassing,elsewhere,
they made their evening meal by the un
cleanly road side, ami slept within of
beneath their wagons, their guanc dogs
keeping needless guard, and their teth
ered horses gnawing the turf within their
reach down to the very quick long before
the morning came! I think that their
hqr?o trading at tin's, time inust have
been of a very humble andfarcicle kind,
and that- the easy art of basket making
arid‘fortune telling did not flourish in
(ho main. Certainly they seldom tarried
in one neighborhood longer than a'mght;
and the evident uncertainty of their 1 in
come lent enough of color to the suspic
ions that had attached themselves to the'
gipsey character to servo (o put all the
neighborhood in- a. forbidding attitude
toward them. Jiiit sustained hy some
inscrutable economy- of their own, and
secure in the inviolable the

C'ArrAIX JAMES lE, COOFEB.
We have waited In vain for a single
word in criticism of the claims of the
Democratic nominee for Surveyor Gen
eral to the suffrages of the,people. Cnpt.
Cooper seems to Ijear a charmed life, In
the estimation of his political opponents,
forthey have not dared to attack him in
any manner whatever. We think We
know the reason of this kind forbearance,
on the part of the radical managers. A
little matter occurred at the organization
of the last legislature which estops them
completely from assailing'dipt. Cooper.
Their mouths are hermetically sealed
from all utterance against the gallant
young soldier who occupies the Second
place on the Democrat ticket. >
. Jaat the
Senate oFl?ennay 1 vuiila proceededTo'Uie’
election of officers, when Mr. Nagle
(Dem.) of Philadelphia offered a' resolu
tion naming certain persons for the-var
ious offices. Mr. Alien (Rep.) of Warren,
moved to amend by striking out the name
of John P. Coulfhan, presented for the
office of Sergeant-at-A nns in Mr. Nagle's
resolution, and inserting the name of
Capt. James H. Cooper. Upon 1 this a
. debate sprung up, in which It whs stated
that Capt. Cooper’s name was presented
without his. authnritv nml nmilrarv .In
nia wish. But Gen. Allen .-persisted,in
the nomination of Capt. Cooper, and sup
ported It in a speech which is reported in
the Legislative Journal as follows.:
“Mu, Allen. Mr. Speaker, in pre
senting the amendment which I have
sent to the Clerk's desk, I feel that I am
, not only representing the wishes of the
Democracy of Western Pennsylvania,
but the Wishes of the Democracy of the
House' of Representatives, the other
branch of our organization, us expressed
by u vote to-day on the merits of the gen
tleman whose name I have presented.
I desire always to endorse the wishes of
the majority ; feeling thatsympathy with
my .friends who are in the majority in
their protestations of friendship for the
deserving soldier, I now present a deserv
ing one of that class, with the wishes of
the Republicans of the Senate, the De
mocracy of .Western Pennsylvania, ami
of the other House, that lie be elected to
the position ,of Sergeant-at-Arms. I
know the. gentleman tocll. I know that he
was'a true and gallant soldier in the laic
war , following all his 'successes and mis
fortune*, and is one of the best young
men the State can jirescnt.' Nb Democrat
caff do himself injustice—no JZcjniblican
can do himself injustice—by voting for as
; deserving a yomig tnan as this ; be hav
ing participated iu-all the battles of the
war, defending the rights of Republicans
and Democrats. Let me ask my Demo
cratic friends, when in the majority, to
be magnanimous mid endorse the princi
ples you have advocated year after year*
We claim it as our duty, and are willing
to join , you in endorting this young
man.” ,
The vole was* then taken ami on the
question. Will the Senate agree to-the .
amendment offered by Senator Allen ?
The following named Senators voted in.
the Affirmative: Messrs. Allen, Ander
son, Blllin'gfult, Brooke, Connell, Delam
nter, Evans, Graham, Henz’y, Kerr,
Momma; Olmsteud, Osterhout, Rulan
and'White. Tims every Radical mem
ber endorsed by his vote the speech of
Senator Alien recommending Captain
Cooper as “ one of the best young, men
the State can present,” and declaring that
no Republican can do himself injustice
by voting for ed deserving a young man
.as this.” - i
This aciiou of the Radical party in the
Senate, accounts for the reticence of the
organs of that parly with the candidacy
of. Capt. Cooper. Although the Demo
crats of the Senate, having previously
nominated tor the office of Sergbant-at-
A.rmtt,. Mr. Coulihan, also a soldier nfoa
cellent record, amt Capo.’Ow«»jjci announ
cin'; that he was not a candidate for that
office, did not vote for Gen. Allen’s amend
ment, they afterwards took the Radical
Senators at their word, by presenting for
a higher office the narpb of the deserving
soldier so justly eulogized in the speech
of Gen. Allen. Of course the Senators
who voted for. Allen’s amendment, will
support Captain Cooper at the polls,—
They cannot afford to bo inconsistent.
We expect to hear that the magnanimous
Brooke is brim full off enthusiasm for
Cooper ; that houeet Es.aias . Blllingfelt
will insist on Lancaster returning a ma
jority for the Democratic candidate, for 1
Surveyor General Uutan will quar
rel with Quay and the ring rather than
cast his vote against hia gallant young '
neighbor;, that Olmatead will make the 1
forests of Potter ring with eloquent ap- «
peals to the Radicals of that region to I
sustain him in his endorsement of the
young soldier for whom he voted for
riergeant-at-Arms of the Senate; and that
Hurry White wilimake thirteen speech
es per day for. the fighting Democrat lie
so sincerely admired on the third of
January last. t As-foii Gen. Harrison Al
len, he will be satisfied with nothing
short of stumping the whole State in the
interest of ids former fellow-soldier.,—

, .This barker's Joke.— The celebrated
Hpnry first. Viscountof Mellville, was on
a visit.*to Edinburgh, shortly after the
passing of some unpopular measure to
which he had given support. On the
morning after his arrival, he sent for a
barber to shave him at liis hotel. This
functionary, a considerable humorist, re
solved to indicate his sentiments respect
ing hip lordship’s recent proceedureas a
legislator. Having decorated his lord
phlp.jWith on apron, lie proceeded to
lather his face. Then flourishing the ra
zor, he said :
‘We are obliged.to you, my lord, for
tlte part you lately took in the passing of
that odious bill,’ \
‘Oh, you’re a politician !’ said bis
lordship.. ‘I sent for a barber.’
.‘l’ll shave you directly,-’
barber, who, after shaving one half of the
beard rapidly drew the back of the in
strument across Ills throat, saying, ‘Take
that, you, traitor!’ and rushed out of the
room.
Lord Mellville, who conceived that his
thronthad been cut from ear to ear, placed
the. apron about bis neok; and with a
gurgling noise shouted ‘Murder I’. .The*
waiter immediately appeared,and,at bis
lordships entreaty, rushed to procure a
surgeon. Throe members of the medical
faculty were speedily in attendance j but
his lordship could scarcely be. persuaded
byi their joint solicitation to exposd his
throat, around which he flrmly held the
l)ar\ier’s apron. At length he consented
to an examination; but he could only bo
convinced by looking into a mirror that
his throat had been untouched,
lordship, mortified by the merriment,
which the occurrence excited, speedily
returned to London.

AN INDIAN JUGGLER.
While the tomtom was beating and
the pipe playing, the juggler, singing all
(he time in low accents, smoothed a
place in >the gravel, three or four yards
. before us. Haying thus prepared a bed
for the plant to grow in, he took a basket
and placed it over the prepared place,
covering it with a thin blanket. The
man himself did not wear a thread of
clothing, except n strip round bis loins.
The time seemed now to hove come for
the detective’s eye ! So just as he was
becoming more earnest in his song, and
while the tomtom beat and the pipe
shrilled more loudly, X stepped forward
with becomingdignity, ami begged him'
to bring the basket and Hanover to me.
He cheerfully complied, and I carefully
examined the, basket, which was made
of open wicker-work. T then examined
the cloth coverihg, which was thin, al
most transparent, ami certainly it had
nothing concealed in it. I then fixed my
eyes on bis strip of clothing, with such
intensity that, it was not-possible it could
hiivy beep touched without discovery,
and bade him go ou,.feeling sure that the
trick could not succeed. Sitting down,
he stretched his naked arms under the
basket, singing and smiling ns he did so;
then lifting the basket off the ground,
we beheld a green plant, about a foot iu
height! Satisfied with our applause, be
went on with his incantations. After
having sat a little, to give his plant lime
to grow, he again lifted the basket, and
the plant'was now two feefc high"! He
asked us to wait a little longer, that we
might taste the fruit! But on being as
sured, by those who had spen the trick
Eorformed, before,,that the result would
e obtained, X confessed ni3’self “done,**
without the slightest notion of the bow.
I examined the ground, and found it was
•smooth and unturned. Apparently de
lighted with my surprise, the juggler
stood up laughing heartily, when one of
his companions chucked a pebble to him,
which he put into hie mouth. Directly
the same companion, walking backward,
drew forth a cord of silk, twenty yards,
or so In length; after which the juggler,
with Ins hands behind his back, threw
forth from his open mouth two decanter
stoppers, two shells, a spinning top, a
atone, and several other tilings, followed
by a long jet of lire ! If the wise reader
regrets so much space being.occupied by
such a story, let him pass it on ta the

The First Forged Bank' Note.—
Sixty-four years after the establishment
of the Bank of England the first forged,
note was presented for payment, ami to
Richard William Vaughan, a Stafford
linen draper,, belongs the melancholy
celebrity of paving led 1 the van in this
new phase of crime, in the year 1768,—•
The records of his life do not show want,
beggary,'or starvation urging him, but a
simple desire to seem greater than he
was. By , one of artists, employed
(and there were several encaged in differ
ent parts of the no(es) the discovery was
made'. The criminal bad filled up to the
number of twenty and deposited them ip
tho hands of a young lady to whom he
was attached, as'a proof Of hi's weultb.—
There is no calculating'how .much longer
bank notes might have been free from
imitation, had this man not shown with
what, ease they might be counterfeited.
From this period forged notes became
common. His execution did not deter
others from tho offence, and a neck
was forfeited to the halter before the late
abolition of capital punishment for chat
crime. .

for the funeral, they all repaired to the
house named in the .advertisement, for
(;he purpose of shedding, a regretful: tear
or'two 6ver the remains of their departed

when "the,.services, were nearly ended,

for them' to conclude. When nil was

started for the street. They wereamazed
and alarmed to perceive, right in the
dbbr-tfdy, l the figure of the man whom
they supposed to be dead I One of the

to him:
I! 1‘ Why, Mooiiey, what are you doing on
here? A man ought to conduct himael
better than this at his own funeral.’
‘Whose funeral V said Mooney,
uope.of mine!’
‘See here, Mooney,’ they said, ‘why
don’t you behave ? You ought not to
carry on so, after all the good things the
minister said about you. It Isn't right."
‘Who are you talking about?’,,William
P. exclaimed, indignantly. ‘l’m aslively
as you are.’
‘Mooney, this is nil wrong!’ urged the
crowd; ‘rhis ii wrong. You'know you
are dead; -you know that yourYamily is
roostiug around up slairsthere, crying,-
and going on like mad., Youought to
have more respect for their feeling's than,
to he standing around here fighting.—
Now, Just yod go and get l?ack into your
coffin, and let the procession go quietly
to the cemetery without any moreTass,’.
‘ Durn the procession,’ ejaculated (he j
incensed Mooney; ‘l’m iio thore dead
than you are.’
‘Now, It Is of no use arguing the point, 1
William,’ safd friends, ‘The notice .
has been published in the papers; the
undertaker has fixed you up comfortably
In ice; crape has been tied on your door
knob, the Board of Trade has passed the
customary resolutions of respect to your
memory; they have bougbta bice marble
monument to bold you down, and done
everything; so you must be dead. You;
can’t go back on the Board of Trade, Mr.
Mooney; now, can you?’
* ‘lt’s a mistake,’ said Mooney; ‘it’s all
a mistake. Let me explain It to you/
‘Ob, there’s no neea of explanation,’
said the friends; ‘the corpse is not in or
der ! The simple fact is that you are a
dead man. Here’s the weeping family;
there is the hearse, the undertaker, the
minister, and the mourners, and in the
parlor stands the coffin. Now, you have
got to ,go in and be packed up in that’
coffin, whether you want to or noth Some
men never know what is be/st for them,
anyhow. We came here to have a funeral,
and a funeral we are going to have, no>
matter if you don’t like.it. There la no
use of saying you won’t, for you’ve got
to; so come along 1’ . .
Thereupon they seized poor Mooney,
and dragged him into the parlor. Those
who witnessed the encounter say it was
terrific. The report soon spreadtbat the;
corpse was loose, and the undertaker aud .
the. pall-bearers «U. ioiaeu in u»o fray,

broke from his tormentors, and darted .
into the kitchen, where the undertaker,
knocked him down with a flat iron, and
pinned him to the floor with a poker
through his clothes, until assistance had
been secured. The truth was developed
then, and Mooney was carried cMrefully
to the hospital in a push cart.. When ho
gets well, he intends to search through
the directory, to ascertain If another man

■ A' letter 'from Pino Tree;‘Mew York,
saya : At,lo o’clock on,Friday morning
a week, a doff belonging to John Felter,
n wood-chopper, .wad.. Heard barking In
tbo mountains, some distance from tbo
bouse. Mr. Felter’a little son, 12 years
old, knowing ,by tfie bark of the dog that
some important gafne was on foot, set
out'for the mountains. His mother felt
a little anxious after the boy bad gone,
and for some time Hstenedto the barking
of tlio dbg. rafter half an hour or so the
barking ceased; and, as hour after hour
passed, away,.and the,boy did not make
his appeanmeb/tba mother set out to go
to one' of the" neighbors to secure their
help i]n'f*-searob for the-boy. On tbo
road she met her husband returning from
tbo village, wberejie bad that morhlng
'Been' alfending lo
listened, to his wife’s story, and, trying
'to calm her fears/iwent back with her to
the house, and taking his gun started
toward the place indicated by his wife.
Mr. .Felter traveled about through the
mountains until late ifa’ttie-afternoon,
seeing nothing; hearing nothing, and he
was about to return borne when be almost
stumbled over the dead carcass of a wild
cat. it wdu a' very large male cat, and
.everything Indicated,a terrible conflict.
The snee.tadle gave Mr. Felter an appre
hension ■ that some terrible thing nad
happened; to : Ills, boy., ...F.xamliiing the
leaves and underbrush, he bad but little
difficulty in finding a trail of blood, and
this be followed nearly a hundred yards.
Then be came upon the dog, standing
over the body of Ids' son, wbo was lying
prostrate upon the ground. Tho dog was >
earnestly looking at tbo boy, and occa
sionally licking bis face and bands. On
Mr. .FelteNs'approach, be gave a loud
bark, and manned about with joy. The '
father knelt by tlie side of his son, and
placed bis band’ Over the heart. With ’
joy he found 'the little ‘fellow alive, but
terribly wounded; as it appears by tho
claws of the wild cat.
The little fellow’s clothes were almost
torn to'threads, ami his flesh was terribly
lacerated from head to foot. He was also
suffering from the loss of blood, but his
wounds bad been handsomely dressed by
the: faithful dog, which had for hours
been standing by him, licking them.—
Taking lils boy in his arms,'the father
raade bia way to his homp, followed by
, tho,ever faithful dog. After reaching the
house, restoratives being administered,
the boy'wak abloto tell his story.
Ho came upou tbe wildcat; and seeing
.that his catsbip held the dog at bay, and
haying an advantageous position, he had
attempted' to dislodge him, 'first with
stones; but these the beast did not seem
to mind. Then he got a polo and at
tempted to poke him out. At this the
wildcat became enraged, and, springing
upon the bdy; scratched and tore his flesh
•It’s
as above related; AC this the dog dashed
at the cat and eoou despatched it. The
boy attempted to go home, but slink to
the ground exhausted.
The little fellow Is doing well. The
good nursing of the.dog, had done much
toward allaying the Inflammation ; the
licking of his wound by the faithful dog
has undoubtedly saved the boy’s life.
THE BRAVEST SOLDIERS AT WATERLOO.
A British officer has been favored with
the following anecdote.; apropos of the
Waterloo anniversary:
Some few years ago two gentlemen
waited bn the Duke of Wellington at the
Apsley House, and told him.thata friend
of theirs had died, leaving them execu
tors to his. will, in which, among other
bequests, he had left £5OO to the bravest
man in the British army, and so they
had called to hand’over to him a check
for the money.
The
compliment paid to him, but declined to
receive the money, as he said there were
many other men in the British army
who equalled him in bravery. He was
then requested to decide on whom the
money should bo bestowed. This was a
difficult point; but at length he proposed
it should be given to Major General Sir
Jamies MacDonell, who so resolutely de
fended Hougomont, the key to the Brit
ish position in the memorable battle of
Waterloo.
The two gentlemen then called, on
Major General MacDonelii telilug him
the decision of the Duke of Wellington,
and tendering him the 3But Sir
James, in his turn, declined to'receive
it, knowing, as he soldi a man who, in
the battle of Waterloo, had shown him
self equal to any one in bravery. The
Major General then described that when
the French troops made one of their
rushes at the gat© of the farm-house call
ed Hougomont, in that critical paomeut
when victory and defeat hiing evenly in
the balance,’ Sergeant Major Fraser, a
very powerful man, boldly assisted him
to close the gates, thereby shutting out
the French, who wore noon driven back
with groat Thus'was the for
tune of the day decided. '
The Duko-of Wellington considered
Major General MacD.onell deserving of
tho meney, on account of'hls resolute de
fence of Hougomont, and-Sir James'coh
sidered that Sergeant Major Fraser was
entitled to sbnre it with him, on account
of the great service he had rendered him
on that occasion. The money was divi
ded between the General and‘Sergeant-
Major, and tlf© generosity of the Duke of
Wellington; and Sir James-MacDonoll
will not soon he forgotten.,
A Chinese Funeral.—A Chinaman
who was murdered in San Francisco re
cently was given a grand, funeral, noinu
fifty carriages of Celestial sympathizers
parading in a longprocesstan/headed by
adlscordant band of Chinese musicians.
That murdered man had been, laid out in
a,new suit of clothes, with a,quantity of
feathers placed around his head. In his
bauds were placed adlrk'knlf©and other
weapons, with- which, be is expected to
pitch into bis murderers when they ar
rive’ in another world—lf he can find
them. From the shoes the soles were
removed,i the uppers being left. This
was done so that might,.step softly
and reverently Into the presence of his
Joss. ; Aa usual, a quantity of Chinese
provisions were put into the coffin, and
left at the-grave.-Chinese wine—rich
spirit—was also left at theigrave; but uias!
those profane Molican , rufllaus of tho
Golden city always follow these procea
sionfl, and ruthlessly gobble all 1 they can
find eatable arid drinkable as soon as the
backs of the Hying Celestials are.turned.
Healthy CiriLDKBN.—To raise healthy
children give them an abundance of out
door exercise, fop and frolic; make them
regular in tbeir'bnbita; and feed them on
plain, nourishing'food. But keep them
overtasked in school, confined closely to
the house flie rest of tbs UUxfe, .frowning
down, every attempt at play; feed them
upon rich or high seasoned food, candies,
nuts, &0., allow them to,eat between
meals and late in the evening, and you
need not expect them to be healthy. Do
not cram tUem. witU.fbod when they- do
not want, or have no appetite for it—such
a course is slow murder. If they have no
iippetltek, encourage, and, If need lie,
command . them to lake exercise in the
open air. Do nytallow,then} toatudy too
much, and especially keep them from
rending the exciting light literature
which so much abounds in our book
stores and circulating libraries.
A SquiuiiEL Hunter,— There is a man
in Contra Costa county, California, who

The, young - niuu iu question gathers his
