THORN'S PULMONARY CANDY.
MHIS pleasant and certain cure for coughs and
1 colds goes ahead of all the preparations now or
ever offered to the public. The are of it is so great thot
the proprietor has some difficulty in keeping a supply
for the increasing demand. Medical agencies, groce
ries, drug houses, and even bars on steam
boats, keep a supplyagn hand. It is called for every
where, and will sell in any place. The reason is this
every one who base cough or cold by eating a few sticks
find themselves cured, as it were, by magic. Persons

DELICATE DILEMMAS.
I was, as usual, strongly recommended, whilst stay
ing at Marron, to take a wife, like Obmed end Ild*-
homed, Rhin hash, Ebin Isaah, and, in feet, all the
ma of my companions: who as usual, had taken to
themselves temporary helpmates. One of the girls
who presented herself to me as a candidate was stated
by her friends to he a very strong woman, and had as
many as four or five husbands. I thought that rather
a strange recommendation; but it was evidently men
tioned that she might find favor in my eyes. I dismiss
ed her very unceremoniously, as if, I did net altogeth
er understand the Proposal; but at the same time,
gave her as proofs of myWgard for her peyote, and
of my strong platonic attachment to herself, a few Ted
beads, and a little paper, that she had asked fur in the
first instance as her dower. It requires some little
address to keep clear of these' unscrupulous ladies;
and I frequently had cause to fear that my eonstant re
jection of their addresses would be construed into e n
affront to the tribes to which they belonged. An Arab
friend of mine, whom I met at Mocambique, named
I I Said Hamra, told me of an adventure of his in the
country of the Illtrzeguahs, some five or six . treeka'
journey up the large river that empties itself into the
Indian Ocean, at L a mco He had been fined by the
chief for fern) ing atone matrimonial connexion without
his authority; so he determined to have nothing more
to do with their women. A girl coming tato his hot,
he accordingly walked out; and this caused a much
greater quarrel than before, for the whole tribeesserted
I he lad treated them with contempt by his haughty
conduct ftwards the girl, and demanded to Mitre. if she
was not good enough for him. Said Hamm in the
end was again mulcted of a lot of brats wire and blue
seed; before he could allay the national indignation,
which his extreme caution had thus excited. Such
delicate dilemmas ate best avoided, as I have before
menaced, by engaging the first old woroao that makes
herappearrame. To her must be referred all new
comers of her sex: and she will generally teattage to
send them away without compromising the traveler
at all. [Jokarston's Travels in Seeder* Abyssinia -1
