still hot in the dish, add one ounce of
Thcriac, and stir it will, until it u thor
oughly mixed. Give the patient a do-e
luke warm in the morning, the patient be
inr duly sober, that is to say without any
thing having been taken that morning;
after5 this he mu-t fast at leat three
hours, and during that time driuk no
cold water, and uiu-t take great care not
to eat any pork, and everything which has
any connection with pork; for fourteen
days tbe patient mu-t not partake of ?ny
animal rood, not even the ti-h kenuel.
To children of P2 years give the half, and
so in proportion with the water as above
mentioned to be observed.

The Middletown Journal fays in rela
tion to the recipe; ''Mr Youn, who
was so badly bitten by a mad dog a few
clays since, an account nf 'vhich we gave
in our last, is getting well from the offsets
of the bite, lie with a number of others
procurrcd medicine from a lady at Leb
anon, who li3n the original recipe of the
late Mr. William Stoy. This medicine is
rcry strong and operates when first taken
like an electric shock. Those who have
taken it, declare that they felt it through
the whole system. After rcuiainiug on
the stomach for about two hours, it acts
like an emetic. When the effects are
produced, the patient may be considered
eurcd. Stoy was not a doctor, as some
papers state but a larmer, and-at one,,
time he published bis recipe to tho world.
It wns nnnied into the Almauac;?. aud
newspapers; yet, strange to say, there are
but few who know anything about it.
We read a recommendation, a few days
since written on parchment signed by
three men who had .been bitten by mad
dogs. The document btates tbat they
were all perfectly cured by Stoy's infalli
ble remedy. Oue of those men had ex
perieucd symptoms of hydrophobia be
fore using tbe medicine.

All at once tho. muic of a hand organ

sprang to her feet, grasped her apron of

while Bravo, shaking himself, and tread

We stopped sewing aud leaned forward
to cateh a glimpse of our entertainers.
There were two of thein, a, man and wo

I nodded assent, and the. next moment

and spake a few words to him in a for- ' woodlaud, and beyond it lay another vil-

looked at Luoy, and then auswered in
the same low, and rapid, indistinct tone,
which I could not under-tand, while an '
expression, strange cunning' and almost-
cruelty, passed over his face.
For the first time 1 scrutinized them
closely. They were an evil. looking cou
ple. The man was short and thick set,
with bu-hy whiskers, eyes almost hid un
der wrinkled, shelving eyebrows, and thin
wide lips, one of which was ga-hed with
; a long, crimson soar.

The woman was a
dark, mulattoish looking person,: with
crisp, black hair, aud ltttlc, sharp gray'

ted over her lower hp, and her chin was
long and protruding. They wicre both
ragged and filthy in appearauce..
I shuddered iuvoluujarily as I looked

31 r. Gould's was as far as we had ever
known Lucy to go alone, and T knew by
the distressed look on mother's counte
nance that she was getting seriously a
iarmcd. I could not bear to sit there, with the
dreadful uncertainty of ouo darling's fate
weighing on my heart like ice, and throw
ing on my bonnet and shawl, and bidding
mother keep up good courage, for I was
.sure wo should find Lucy, I went out in
to the sober twilight.

For a long time I wandered about,
searching amoug the trees, and calltug
Lucy by her name. Weary and dishear-
tened, I was about retracing my steps?
when a few drops of raiu upon my bonuet
caused me to lookup. In my baste and
eagerness, deceived by the obscurity of
tl,e ; wood, I had not noticed the gradual
1 gathering of tho torra which now hung
j black and threatening.
i I had reached a litth clearing among
tlie trees, where some wood-cutters had
rearcu a temporary shelter. It was al
'mdst night,' yet I knew by the looks of
the 'clouds, that the storm would not last
long.' Whether to wait there until it
sho'uld have passed over, :br hurry home
in the ram 1 could not decide. At last l
concluded to do the former.

I could bardly rcstraiu my agitation

and had taken the only method in ber

then her little heart might be aching with

Wagged his tail aud barked joyfully.
I took a sin all piece of paper from my
pofket, but found I had no peucil. I
had noticed as I came in, a place where
fires had been built outside, aud going
out I fouud a bit of charred wood, with
which I returned to my task. My com
panions were eyeing me suspiciously.
"P 1-c-a-s-e, 'please b-r-i-n-g, bring,"
I said spelling aloud as I wrote, that they
might her mc, "m-e, a-n, u-m-b-r-e-l-l-a."
I spelled the note one way and wrote
it another. It was to my mother and:rau
thus.
"Send father and the boys to me with
out delay. I think I have found Tticy, a
live and. well; ' For Heavens sake tell
them to hasten.' Bravo will show them
