Late in the evening, say about 11' o'clock, you can see pretty well up in the northwest ern heavens the bright. star Vega in the harp. It may be certainly recognized by means of two faint stars close by it, with which it makes a beautiful little triangle. The comet is almost on a line drawn from Vega to the pole star,' and you can find its place by noting that it is below and a little to the left of the head of the dragon, which is marked by a lozenge-shaped figure lying a few degrees nortliwest of Vega. 1 A number of Philadelphia doctors have testified within a few days that many of the patent medicines sold to cure coughs and to quiet infants are poisonous and fre quently prove fatal. As these compounds "have obtained a foothold in most families where there are children, parents will do well to use the utmost caution in giving these nostrums to their ailing: little ones. Most of them are said to contain opium in harmful and -ev_en dangerous quantities, and when even cautiously administer ed' May result fatally. It is always safer when such remedies are required to pro cure them' from the family physician, and thus do away with all fear of harmful con T 1 sequences. • The beautiful little park at the Elmira depot has been admired and enjoyed by thousands, but Elmira can't expect to have all the good things.

She told her husband that she was going to - drown herself, and as• she went out of the door,• he told her to go and be d—d. She went down to the river and found the water cold and changed her mind; but staid out doors all night.! She gave as the reason for not jumping in the river, that it would please her husband too much, and she had I always made rip her mind not to do any thing which would cause her husband ,any pleasure."

His death was without a struggle, and a sniffle wreathed his face as his eyes closed in the dreainless shimbei of the grave: Though not a man of 'pronounced religious opinions, he was a firm believer in the Word, and almost his last. utterance was, "Mother taught me to trust in the' Lord; I am. trusting in Him."
