Take a little Rum, The less you take the better, Mix it with the lakes Of Wenner and Wetter. Dip a spoonful out — Mind you don't get tcrosc?Y — Pour it in the lake' . Winnipiseoga. Stir the mixture well, it prove inferior, Then put half a drop Into lake Superior. Every other day- Take a drop, in water ; You'll be better soon— Or at least you ougbt'er. A I.LOPATHT. Take some Calomel, The more you take the better, Mix it with a drop Or two of cistern water. Feed some to your dog, It will make him vomit, And, may be, see stars, And perhaps a comet. Once in each half hour, Take a rousing potion ; Say a tumbler full, If that suits your notion. Should you chance to die, As you're almost sure to, You may safely swear That it did uot cure you. HYDROPATHY. Take a linen sheet, The bigger 'tis the better, Wrap yourself up well, And plunge into the water. Any water'Jl do— Oroton, sea or cistern, Each should make his choice Of what best suits his turn. When you're fairly soaked, If you don't feel better, Take a copious shower bath And get a little wetter. Touch no wine nor gin, But gallons of cold water; You'il be better soon— If you ain't you ougbt'er. THOMPSOP ATHT. Take some No. 6, The more you take the better, A lump or two of sugar, An ounce of cayenne pepper. Make a tea of herbs, Add lobelia to it, With such other things As you think will do it. Steam yourself right well, But take no time to think; Pour the hot stuff'down As fast as you can drink. If this you will but do, You surely will get hotter; Or perhaps you'll die, But of that—no matter. ITEAMOPATHT. Get a pile of rocks, Or bricks, if nothing better, Heat them hissing hot, And yourself with pepper. Put them in a basin, I'ndernealh a chair, Wrap a blanket round you, To exclude the air. Pour some water 011 them, And Composition down Your throat, to start the canker, And do disease up brown. Of lobelia take a potion, Wind up with No. 6, A crisis follows motion. And you're shortly in a fix. QUACK OP ATI! Y. Take of Brandreth's pills, A twenty-five cent box, And ofTownsend's Sarsaparilla Enough to kill an ox. Before you go to bed, Eat a quart of Salmagundi, And on the top of this Take a dose of alicomfundy. Every night and morning, Drink a pint of brandy, Sweeten, if you please. With a stick of Cough Cure Candy. Then add to the above A pail of Quacknip tea, Then if you are not dead, You surely ought to be. SEHSEOPATHT. Take the open air, The more you take the better, Follow nature's laws To the very letter. Let the Doctors go To the bay of Biscay, Let alone the Gin, The Brandy aud the Whiskey. Freely exercise. Keep your spirits cheerful, Let no dread of sickness Make you over fearful. Eat the simplest food, Drink the pure cold water, Then you will be well. Or at least you ougbt'er. There is nothing, purer than honesty ; nothing sweeter than charity ; nothing warmer than love ; nothing brighter than virtue ; and nothing more steadfast than faith. These united in otic mind, form the purest, the sweetest, the richest, the bright est, and the most steadfast happiness. Earthly tilings are essentially of a muta ble character. Empires arise, and as time speeds on they attain their meridian strength and influence, then decay. Change is written on the face of universal nature ; and man himself from the cradle to the grave is subject to the same law. l\'w Serifs—Vol. 4-I\o. ft. Tbe Mile's Inilurnec ni her Husband's Fortune. j A woman has her husband's fortune; in • her power, because she may, or she may not, as she pleases, conform to his circum stances. This is Iter first duty, and it ought |to he her pride. \o passion for luxury or display ought for a moment to tempt her to ; deviate in the least decree from this line of i conduct. Si e y/p] find her respectability iin i:. An;, other course is wretchedness itself, and inevitably leads lo ruin. Noth j ing can fie more miserable than the struggle to keep up appearance. If itcouid succeed j it would cost more than it is worth ; as it I never can, its failure involves the deepest I mortification. Some of the sublimest ex hibition-. of human virtue have been made i by women, who have been precipitated i suddenly from wealth and splendor to ab | solute want. \ Then a man's fortunes are in a manner j in the hands of his wife, inasmuch as his ' own power of exertion depends on her— his moral strength inconceivably increas ed by her sympathy, her counsel his aid. j She can aid him immensely by relieving j him of every care which she is capable of taking upon herself. His own employ ments are usually such as to require his whole time and his whole mind. A good wife will never suffer her husband's atten j tion to he distracted by details to w hieh her !own time and talents are adequate. If she he prompted by true affection and good sense she will perceive when his | spirit is borne down and overwhelmed, i She, of all human beings, can best minister jto its needs. For the sick soul her nursing I is quite as sovereign, as it is for corporeal j ills. If it he weary, in her assiduity it ! finds repose and refreshment. If it be ha ; rassed and worn to a morbid irritability, her gentle tones steal over it with a sooth ing more potent than lite most exquisite music. If every enterprise be dead, and hope itself almost extinguished, her pa tience and fortitude have the power to re i kindle them in the heart, and he again goes j forth to renew the encounter with the toils and troubles of life. ' My wife has made my fortune,' said a gentleman of great possessions, 4 by her thrift, prudence, and cheerfulness, when I was just beginning." 4 And mine has lost my fortune,' an swered his companion bitterly, 4 by useless extravagance, and repining when I was doing well.' What a world does this open of the in fluence which a wife possesses over the ! future prosperity of her family ! Let the I wife know her influence, and try to use it wisely and well. j It is not what we earn, but what we I save, that makes us rich. It is not what i we eat. but what we digest, that makes us ; fat. It is not what we read, but what we ; remember, that makes us learned. All | this is very simple, but we all well know I it is worth remembering. TAKING TOLL. i The St. Louis Reveille is publishing a tale, purporting to give some adventures in the city life of a young physician, from which we take take the following extract: V snow having fallen, the young folks of the \ illagc got up a grand sleighing party to a country tavern at some distance ; and the interesting Widow Lambkin sat in the same sleigh, under the same buflalo robe with myself. 4 Oh, oh— don't!' she exclaimed, as we came to the first bridge, catching me by the arm, and turning Iter veiled face toward me, wlule her little eyes twinkled through the gauze, in the moonlight. • Don't what V 1 asked ; 4 I'm not doing anything.' 4 \\ ell, but I thought you were going to take toll,' replied Mrs. Lambkin. 4 Toll ?' 1 rejoined. 4 What's that ?' 4 Now, do tell !' exclaimed the widow, her clear laugh ringing above the music of the bells. 4 Dr. Mellows pretends he don't know what toll is !' 4 Indeed 1 don't then,' I said, laughing in turn. • Don't know that the gentlemen, when they go a sleighing, claim a kiss, as toll, w lien they cross a bridge ! Well I never.' But shall 1 tell all \ The struggles of the widow to hold her veil were not sufii eient to tear it, and somehow, when the veil was removed her face was turned di reetly towards my own, and the liorsc i trotting on of himself, the toll was taken I for the first time in the life of Dr. Mellow*. Soon we came to a long bridge, hut the u idow said it was 4 no use to resist,' and she paid up as we reached it. 4 But you won't take toll for every span, w ill you, doctor ?' she asked. To which the only reply was a practical negative to the question. The old phrase of 44 whipping the d—l round a stump," has become obsolete.— Scholastic men say "flagellating the ven erable Nicholas round the remnant of a tree.' The latest way of popping the question we have heard of is, to ask the lair lady, 4 if yon shall have the pleasure ot seeing her at the ministers.'
