BALTIMORE LOCK HOSPITAL
kR. JOHNSTON,
Physician of this celebrated Institution, bas
discovered the most certain, speedy, pleasant and
effectual rcmedv in the world for all
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness ol the Back or Limbs, Strictures,
Affectious of Kidneys and Bladder, Involun
tary Discbarges, Impotency, General Debili
ty, Nervousness, Dyspepsy, Languor, Low
Spirit?., Confasion of Ideas, Palpitation of
the Heart, Timidity, Treiubliuits, Dimness
of Sight or Giddiness, Disease of tbe Head,
Throat, Nose or Skin, Affections of Liver, Lnnrs,
Stomach or Bowels these terrible Disorders
arising from, tbe Solitary Habits of Youth those
secret and solitary practices more fatal to their
victims than the song of Syrens to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their mort brilliant hopes
of anticipations, renderint; marriage, fcc.,impos
ciblc. VOUNG MEN
especially, who have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweepa to an untimely grave
thousands of voung men of the most exalted
talents and brilliant intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
thnnders of eloquence or waked to ecstacy the
living lvre, may call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Tonng Mm contemplating
marriace, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Procreative Power Impotency), Nervous Ex
eitabilitv. Palpitation. Organic Weakness, Ncr
vous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
needilv relieved.
He who places himself under the care of Dr. J,
may religiously confide in his honor as a gentle
man, and confidently rely uon bis skill as a Pbv-
sician.
ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
Impotency, Loss of Power, Immediately Cured
and full lcr Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable and marriage Impossible is the penalty
paid by the victims or lmproi)er indulgences.
Voung persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful conseqenccs
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
tbe subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into
improper habits than rjy ine prudent I oesiaes
being deprived the pleasures of healthy oflVprinsr,
the niot-t serious and destructive symptoms to both
bodv and mind arise. The sv6tem becomes de
ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss of Procreative Power, Nervous
Irritabilltv. Dvsr. ia. Palpitation or the Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of the Frame, Congh, Consumption. Decay and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined In health by unlearned preten
ders who keep them trifline mouth after month,
taking -roisonons and injurious compounds,
should apply immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
Member ofNthe Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, liraanaved irom one 01 me mw-w cuuueui
Col'eges in the United States, and the greater
art of whore ife has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
bas effected some of tbe most astonishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing in tbe head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden soands,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured
immediutelv.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injurrd
themselves by Improper Indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting
them for either business, study, society or niar
riaire. 1 desk are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, vU:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
liackand Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
eumption. Ac.
Mentajat The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to 6ociety, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c, are some of the
evils produced. .
Thocsasds of persons of all ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having singular appearance
about the eyes, congh and symptoms of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have Injured th inselves by a certain prac
tice indulged In when alone, a habit frequently
U-arned from evil companions, or at school, tbe
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud if ot cured, renders marriage im pos
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments ot
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and Indulging in a certain secret j
habit. Such persons urT before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mlud and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, tbe Journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and filled with tbe melan
choly reflection, that the happiuea" f another
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary o
pleasure finds that he bas imbibed the seeds ot
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone befriend
him, dclaving till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, node on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last tbe
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution, and
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
month after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave him with ruiued Health to sigh over
his galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johxbto pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice and observations iu
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first in
this country, viz: England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere. Is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy and effectual remedy in the world
for all diseases of Imprudence.

THE TW O AXGELS.
BY JOHS O. 'WHITTIEIS.
God called the nearest angels who dwell with him
above ;
The tenderest one was Pity, the dearest one was
Love.
"Arise," he said, "my angels! a wall of woe
and sin
Steals through the gates of Hoaven, and saddens
all within.
"My harps take up the mournful strain that from
a lost world swells,
The smoke of torment clouds the light and blights
the asphodels."
"Fly downward to that under world, and on its
souls of pain,
Let Love drop smiles like sunshine, and Pity
tears like rain !"
Two faces bowed before tho Throne vailed in
their golden hair ;
Four white wings lessened swiftly down the dark
abyss of air.
The way was strange, the Uight was long; at
' last the angels came,
Where swung the lost and nether world, rcd
""wrapped in ruylcss frame.
There Pity, shuddering, wept; but Love, with
faith too strong for fear.
Took beait from God's alinightincss and smiled
a smile of cheer.
And lo ! that tear of Pity quenched the Came
whereon it fell,
And, with the sunshine of that smile, hope en
tered into hell.
Two unveiled faces lull of joy looked upward to
the Throne,
Four white wings folded at the feet of Him who
sat thereon !
And deeper than the sound of seas, more soft
than falling flake,
Amidst the hnsh of wing and song the Voice
Eternal spake :
'Welcome, my angels ! je have brought a holier
joy to Heaven ;
Henceforth its sweetest song shall be the song of
sin forgiven !"
WHEX ELI II I) COMES HOME.
All her life long Sara Holmes had had a
romance. It began and ended with these
words : 'When Elihu comes home.' And
though she was but nineteen years old at
the time of which I write, it seemed to her
on the evening of that burning July day,
as she sat in her bedroom, and looked out
upon the moonlight fields, that she had
been living one or two centuries in this
world, and all the time dreaming golden
dreams of Elihu, only to find themhivered
into atoms at the last.
For Elihu bad come. And the lime and
the manner of bis coming was so unlookcd
for and so unexpected to her, as well as to
everyone else thai the girl sat there in the
moonlight, saying to herself. 'He is here
I need never watch or wait for him again.
Iu the next chamber to mine he is sleep
ingthat is if be can sleep, poor Elihu !'
The earliest stories she could remember had
been told to her by her mother, about
'Cousin jElihu' aud the enormous fortune
he bad made 'down South,' at a time
wbeu fortunes could yet be made in that
unhappy land. She bad heard . fabulous
tales of the palace in which he lived, of the
negro slaves who llew to do his bidding, of
the beautiful carriages aud horses that bore
bim from place to place, and of the jewels,
the silks, satins aud velvets that forluuate
woman would possess who would one day
become Elihu's bride.
Other girls had beard these stories also,
aud the belle of the school at llolmesdale
often said that, when she was sixteen, she
should 'go traveling,' aud find her way
down south, and 'set her cap' for Elihu
Holmes. That the result would follow foi
which she looked, no girl among litem all
doubled, for eveu 'tbe master's' stern face
softened aud smiled upon Rosanna Mea
dows, when she shook back her golden
curls aud lilted het large blue eyes, with a
blush, to his.
Poor Rosanna ! Sara leaned her cheek
on her hand, and looked over the hill top
toward the village graveyard, where the
village beauty was now lying, wiih her
blue eyes closed, her golden ringlets smooth
ed back from her while brow, and her
hauds clasped iu an unearthly quiet on her
breast. Elihu had never known how her
girlish heart went out toward him. And
now Elihu had come home .'
As Sara Holmes grew up, and developed
form tbe tall angular girl into the queenly
and self-possessed young woman, the
thought would sometimes occur to her, as
she 6lood before the mirror braiding her
dark hair, 'If he should come back, would
he think me pretty, uow that Itosauua is
gone ?' The broad, low brow, the oval
cheeks and dimpled chin auswered ; the
healthful color, the deep, dark eyes, the
sudden, bright, bewildering smile, said,
Yey.' For there was now a higher beauty
than Rosacna's pink aud white loveliness
had ever been, aud the treasures of her
mind and heart might well have won an
older aud wiser man to love her long before
Elihu came home.
And now she drew a long breath, and set
herself to recall all the incidents of that
sudden and startling return.
Tea was over the milk was strained- -and
they were all sitliug on the front pi
azza, under the shade of the maples aud
locusts, while her father read bits from the
weekly paper aloud. Her step-mother was
knitting ; her sister Grace was lining a
hat, and her brother JJen was whittling out
a toy boat from a bit of wood, while she,
Sara, sat beside him and held his tools as
he needed them, and lost herself in a reverie
about our hero in the south.
A carriage drove up the village road aud
halted at their gate. The driver descended
to his seat aud beckoned to her father, who
hurried down to the gate to meet him.
Afler talking for some lime together, a
small trunk was lifted down aud left beside
the gate. Then, the carriage door was
opened aud a tall figure descended, and,
directly after, I5eu, who had followed his
father in a fit of boyish curiosity, galloped
back with distended eyes, whispering
loudly :
'Mother girls 1 Cousin Elihu has come I
And he has lost every cent of his property
down south 1 I heard the driver tell father
so ! And they have sent him oir up here,
alone, because they thought he was going
to be sick : and there he is, you see, lean
ing on father and the driver, and be can't
but just walk. Isn't it a blamed shame of
these southerners ?'
'Mercy ! exclaimed Ben's step mother,
rising, as they all rose, when the tall, slen
der figure approached.
Sara looked up with her heart in ber eyes,
to greet her hero no less a hero to her for
the pitiful history of loss and rum that she
had just heard.
He was a tall, upright, elegant looking
man, with a fair complexion, large melan
choly blue eyes, a long straight nose,
drooping eyebrows, fine tips, and a firmly
rouudeu chin, that somewhat counteracted
the listless sadness of the face. His hair
was turning gray, and the heavy, golden
browu moustache had one or two threads
of silver, but with that exception he wore
no look of age.
Elihu was well but plainly dressed in a
traveling suit of gray. He removed his hat
as he drew near the ladies, with a courte
ous grace ; butle looked in vain for the
warm welcome from the second Mrs.
Holmes and her daughter Grace that he
would have received from his own cousin
had she bjeu alive.
Mrs. Holmes bowed to him coldly though
civilly ; and Grace, angry with him and
with herself for the Budden collapsing of
sundry ambitious hopes which she had
never confided to anyone except her mother,
swept him hei latest dancing school cour
tesy, and affected not to see the hand he
held out.
Elihu colored slightly, and turned to
Sara, whose large dark eyes were fixed
with a look of tender pity upon his refined
and melancholy face.
'You have a face that I ouj,ht to know,'
he said to her, gently. 'Yod are my
cousin's child, dear Sara I I hoped she
would be here to meet me wheu I camo
home at last.'
Sara's heart was already full, and this
reference to her dead mother caused her
tears to overflow.
'Dear Cousin Elihu,' said she, taking
his hand in both hers, 'my mother re
membered and loved you to the last day of
her life. She would have been glad indeed
to see you here once more ; I am glad, too.
All my life long I have looked forward to
your coming.'
'But you did not expect to see me return
so poor,' said Elihu, sighing.
'Poor or rich, it matters little,' replied
Sara fervently. 'You are here at home
once more, and that is enough to make us
all rejoice.'
'Aye,' said Elihu, looking from her
beaming countenance to the cold faces of
the rest. 'I should have been glad to
bring gold enough to make me welcome.
But what has happened has happened, and
I do not wish to complain. Cousin Joshua,
for my cousin's sake of the old times when
you and I were boys together, I suppose
you will let me stay at the old homestead
for a few days ?'
'Eh ? Oh, to be sure 1 Stay and wel
come,' stammered the farmer, who feeling
the eyes of his wife and his daughter Sara
fixed upon him, was like a man between
two fires.
So it was settled, aud Sara flew about
like a good fairy to prepare supper for the
wanderer, aud afterward, to set iu order
his room and bed. At nine o'clock he re
tired, and then the storm burst forth.
The second Mrs. Holmes inquired shrilly,
if their home was to be turned into a 'poor
farm,' and made the abiding place of every
shiftless creature who had wasted his sub
stance in riotous living among 'those ne
groes'only to come, at the last, without
a penny in his pocket, to be supported by
those who had tbe misfortune to be related
to him in a distant way.
Mr. Holmes said, meekly, that 'it wasn't
likely Elihu would want to stay long, and
that as he had once redeemed tbe farm,
which was heavily mortgaged with his own
money, and given a deed of the place to his
first wife, he didn't very we'd see how he
could refuse him shelter there if he claimed
it 'for a time, at least,' he added ner
vously seeing his wife's black eyebrows
knitting together in a way that he had
learned to dread.
Grace upheld her mother in all her de
nunciations ; though Sara thought, pri
vately, that it would have been more deli
cate had she kept silence, siuce as the
daughter of Mrs. Holmes by a former mar
riage, she could uot be supposed to have
any great interest pecuniary or otherwise,
in tbe disposition of the homestead farm.
As for Ben, like most boys of thirteen, he
was on the side of right agaiust might, and
he did not scruple to say that, for his part,
he hoped Cousin Elihu would stay there
forever, and that he was sure, if he had re
deemed the farm, tkat he had a perfect
right to do so. His sister Sara could have
kissed him for the answer, but she kept
silence.
The days went on. By every art that a
mean and paltry spirit could invent, Mrs.
Holmes the second showed plainly to Elihu
how unwelcome he was beneath her roof
tree. As foi Grace, she simply ignored
him. And, Mr. Holmes, though he would
gladly have been both grateful aud kind,'
was so tamed by nightly curtain lectures,
hours long, that he dared not show the
ruined man any attention, and ouly looked
at him wistfully now and then, as if won
dering when he would be gone.
Elihu's plate, knife and fork were placed
upon the table at every meal, it is true. He
fared as the rest fared, and his room and
bed were the best in the house.
But this was Sara's doing. To her aud
to Ben, he owed each moment of happiuess
which he enjoyed in the old house. The
sister and her young brother were always
glad to be with him, but the other inmates
of tbe house looked over and around him,
and even when he "ate of their bread and
drank of their cup, seemed as if they knew
him uot. Sara's proud spirit blazed up for
his sake at a thousand petty insults and
affronts each day. She wondered privately
to herself, and aloud to Ben, how Cousin
Elihu, with the memory of his past wealth
and grandeur fresh in his mind, could en
dure it ! Xor was she surprised when, one
pleasant evening just four weeks after his
arrival. Elihu told her he must go.
'I cauuot blame you, so shamefully have
you been treated,' she said, while her heart
sank down in her breast, like a stone sink
ing into the depths of the tiny lake on
whose bank they sat. 'But where will you
go, Cousin Elihu? What will you do?
You were ill when you came here, and
thanks to their unkindness, you are not
yet well and strong enough to care for
yourself. O, it is a shame a shame !' she
broke out again. 'And if you had come
rich as they expected, every one of them
would have been at your feet !'
Cousin Elihu smiled the smile that al
ways brightened her melancholy face, till
in her eyes it was the noblest, handsomest
face on earth.

'Never mind tbem, Sara,' said he ; 'you
and Ben have been bo good to me that I
have scarcely noted the rest. So good
that'
lie paused aud looked at her.
'Sara, when I am gone, shall yoa miss
me?"
The tears rose to her eyes.
'O, how can you ask ? You know,
Elihu, that when you go I shall think of
you among strangers, poor, perhaps ill,
perhaps dying '
She hid her face iu her hands and sob
bed aloud.
Elihu waited till her grief had exhausted
itself, and then took her hand.
'What you say is all very true, Sara. I
am not fit to go out into the world alone.
Will you go with me V You have a good
home here, I know, but if I have you to
work for, I will soon give a better one.
Aud by and bye Ben can come to us, and
we will make a man of him. Will you be
my wife, Sara ?
She looked at hioi with all the solemn
fervor of a woman's love and devotion
shining in ber eyes.
'If you will take me, Elihu, and let me
careforyou, I shall be the happiest crea
ture on earth. From the moment wheu I
saw you cuuie in at the farm gate, from
the moment when I knew that jour for
tune was gone, and that you were ill and
alone in the world, I have prayed that you
might love me. I don't care where our
home Is or what it is, so that we share it
together. I can be happier with you in a
log hut than 1 could be with any one else
in a palace ; for yoa need me, Elihu, and I
I have thought and dreamed of you, and.
I really believe, loved you from the day
wheu my mother first told mc about you,
wheu 1 was sitting at her knee.'
'So they were betrothed, aud, after a
storm at the farm house, when her dicision
was first made known, Sara followed the
fortunes of her lover to a distant city where
they were married.
Ben went with her as her protector and
'best man.' Her father kissed her and
cried over her, as he bade her farewell, and
put a pocketbook containiug five hundred
dollars into her hand for the wedding nr
tion. 'I can't go with you to give you away,
my dear, and I can't let you be married
here,' said the poor man. 'I shall never
hear the last of it if I do ; and I'm getting
old now, and I want peace and quiet in my
own borne. But God blews you, Sara, and
your husband that is to be. Poor Elihu !
Your mother loved him dearly, and I don't
know a fault he has in the world, except
that he is poor.'
So, strengthened by her father's approv
al and blessing, Sara approached the altar
to consecrate her life to the hero of her
dreams.
The ceremony over they drove to a first
class hotel, and breakfasted in a style that
made Sara tremble for tbe future. And
after breakfast Elihu laid a package before
her, aud a casket by tbe side of ber plate.
'My first present to my wife,' said he.
'As for you, Ben '
A cry of delight from Ben made his sis
ter turn round to look at him. The boy
was glorious in a gold hunting watch nd
chain.
"Open your casket, love,' said her hus
band, smiling.
She obeyed and a tivcr of light seemed
to flash upon her from the diamonds with
in. At tbe same moment her husband
broke the seal of the package ; and showed
her a bank book incribed with her name.
'Ten thousand dollars are deposited
there, subject to your order,' said Elihu,
carelessly.
'Ten thousand dollars ! aud the watch !
and the diamonds I' gasped Sara, turning
pale. 'What can it all mean !'
'I know,' broke in Ben, with a joyous
laugh. 'Cousin Elihu has only been pre
tending to be poor all this time. Nicely
sold all those people at tbe farm will be I'
Sara turned to her husband. He smiled
and drew her closely to his breast. From
that happy day not a wish of hers or Ben's
has been ungratirled. And all the romance
of her life began instead of ending (as she
for a time supposed) 'when Elihu came
home.'
Siscclhncons.
Take Time to Rest. Most men and
women must keep in the traces, and keep
pulling, the year around. AH the more.
therefore, it is their cjuty to take things
easier as the hot weather comes on. Take
longer rest at noon. Put on less steam
when you are at work. Snatch a Sunday
now and then from the middle ot the week.
You can't ? You can. People find time
to be sick and to die. They can just as
easily find time to rest and keep well.
Everything docs not depend cn finishing
that dress or fencing that field ; on 'putting
up' so much fruit or catching so many cus
tomers. Better that the children should
wear old clothes than that their mother
should be laid aside by a fever. Better
that the corn crop be a little lighter than
that there should be no one to harvest iL
Let us have shorter sermons and fewer of
them on Sunday ; longer recess for the
children at school on week days. Put up
the store shutters earlier at night ; prepare
plaiuer meals in the kitchen. Take a
noonday nap yourself, and give your em
ployees a chance to go a fishing of an after
noon now and then. That only is duty
which the Lord lays upon us, and he is not
so hard a master as we sometimes suppose.
The Spring Time and Immortality.
It was said of the celebrated John Ran
dolph, of Roauoke, whose views were gen
erally conceded to be skeptical, that in
walking out one lovely spring morning on
his plantation, accompanied by his favorite
negro, Tom, he reached an elevated piece
of ground, where the beauties of one of the
finest Virginia landscapes burst upon him.
Tbe trees were clothed in their vernal
blossoms, and the meadows laughing in
variegated hues, and the sun in the clear
blue sky shown down on tbe quiet river,
as it glided silently along. 'Tom,' said
the eccentric Randolph, 'do you see all
that?' sYcs, I does, massa.' 'Well, Tom,
when anybody tells you, after this, that
there is no God, just call bim a liar.'
There is too much in tho language of the
spring lime, not to leave a fixed and lasting
impression, and there is a lesson in the
blue-eyed violet and rosebud which points
as strikingly towards that which is immor
tal, as do the sterner and more striking
truths which are registered in the frown
ing mountain's peak, or the live thunders
which leap and play upon its ummir.

Protect the Game. An exchange
vouches for the following : 'A farmer s boy
in Ohio, observing a small flock of quales
in his fathers com field, resolved to watch
their motions. They pursued a very regu
lar course in their foraging, commencing
on one Bide of the field, taking about five
rows, and following them uniformly to the
opposite end, returning in the same manner
over the next five rows. They continued
iu ilii course until they explored the
greater portion of the field. The Ltd, sus
picious that they were pulling op the corn
fired into the flock, killing but one of them,
and then proceeded io examine the ground.
In the whole space over which they had
traveled he found but one stalk disturbed.
This was nearly scratched out of the ground
but the ground still adhered to it. In the
craw of the quale he found one cut worm,
twenty-one striped vine bugs, and one
hundred chinch bugs, bat not n single
grain of corn.'
sagacity of the Pakteidge. In
stances of tbe sagacity of the partridge,
wookcock and other birds have often been
related. But the most singular illustratioa
of the deception practiced by the first of
those wily species to protect thair joung is
given by Mr. Uenshaw, of the Government
Survey, west of the one hunureth meredian.
While riding through pine woods, a brood
of partridges, containing the mother and
eight or ten young about a week old was
come upon so suddenly that tbe feet of the
furmosl mule almost trod on them. The
young roje, flow a yard, aud, dropping
down, were in an instant hid in tbe under
brush. The mother meanwhile began some
very peculiar tactics. Rising up, abe fell
back again to the ground as if perfectly
helpless, and imitated the actions of a
wounded bird so successfully that for a
moment it was thought she bad really
been trodden upon. Several of the men,
completely deceived, attempted to catch
her, but she fluttered away, keeping just
out of the reach of their bands until they
had been enticed ten or twelve yards oS,
when she rose and was off like a bullit.
Her tactics had successfully covered the
retreat of her young.

Leather from Tripe. A patent has
has recently been taken to France for the
preparation of leather from tripe, intestines,
and other animal membranes. These are
soaked in milk and lime while still fresh,
then washed and emmersed in water, and
finally in a past made of starch and white
of egg. The substance thus formed is to be
used for glove-making, &c. The material
may also be tanned or curried.
The sleety weather of the past few weeks
ought, if tbe usual rule holds good, to give
us an ample supply of fruit during the en
suing summer. The theory is, that the
sleet retards the growth of the buds, and
as these are thus held back until the weath
er becomes settled, they are not frozen, and
hence become productive ot fruit. A good
fruit season will be fully appeeciated,' and
everything that contributes to that end,
however disagreeable just at present, will
be welcomed in the end.

How Did She Do It ? A Boston cham
bermaid is said to have got twelve com
mercial travelers into eleven bedrooms,
and yet to have given each a sepentte bed
room. Here we have the eleveo bed
rooms :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 j 0 1 10 11
Xow,' said she, 'if two of you gentle
man will go into No. 1 bedroom and wait
a few minutes, I'll find a spare room ; for
one of you as soon as I've shown the others
to their rooms.' Well, now, having thns
bestowed two gentlemen in No. L she puts
the third in No. 5, the fourth in No.3, the
fifth in No. 4, the sixth in No. 5, tbe sev
enth in No. 6, the eighth in No. 7, the
ninth in No. 8, the tenth in No. 9, and the
eleventh in No. 10. She then came back,
to No. 1, where you will remember, she
left the twelfth gentleman along with the
first, and said : 'I've now accommodated
all tbe rest, and have still a room to spare
so, if you will please step into No. 11, you
will find it empty.' Thus the twelfth man
got his bed room. .Of course there is a hole
in the saucepan somewhere ; but we leave
the reader to determine exactly where the
fallacy is, with just a warning to think
twice before deciding as to which, if any of
tbe travelers, was the 'odd man out.'
