Scarlatina The American Medical
Association has reported favorably on the
remedy for Scarlet Fever, recently dis
covered, of rubbing the body with fat
bacon. This remedy was first introduced
into this country by Dr. Harvey Liml
slev. of.WashinjMon cit y, un the recommen
dation oi jlm . ocmieeinan oi oerwiviY- ir
Lindbley's own experience was success
ful ; and Dr. Paul F. Kve, of Augusta,
Ga., says that out of 20 or 30 caes.
where this remedy was used, only 2 died.
and one of those had left the city con
valescent. The plan is, to have the whole
body rubbed with the inside of fat uncook
ed bacon, during the whole course of the
disease, and to depend upon the tincture
of iodine, applied freely externally to the
throat, once, twice, or three tunes in the
twenty -four hours, to arrest the auginous
affection.
Energy What it doks. We love
your upright energetic men Pull them
this way and then that way, and the other,
and they only bend, but never break.
Trip them down, and in a trice they are
on their feet, liury them in the mud, and
in an hour they will be out and bright.
They are not ever yawning away existence,
or walking about the world as if they had
come into it with only halt their soul j
you cannot keep them down you cannot
destroy them. But for these the worltl
would soon degenerate. They are the
salt of the earth. Who but they start any
noble project ? They build our cities, and
rear our manufactories. They whiten the
ocean with their sail, and they blacken
the heavens w ith the smoke of their steam
vessels and furnace fires. They draw
their treasures from the mine They
plough the earth. Blessings on them!
Look to them, young men and take courage;
imitate their example, catch the spirit of
their energy. Without life, what are yo t
good for. it it is passed idly away ? We
should ever measure thus life's employ
ment. File youm Newspaprrs. " How in
teresting it would be to an old man to
look into the newspapers which he had
read when he was twelve, or sixteen or
twenty years old ! How many events
would this call to mind which he has en
tirely forgotten! How many interesting
associations and feelings would it revive!
What a view it would give one of past
years! What a knowledge it would pre
serve, by assisting the memory ! And how
many valuable purposes of a literary kind
even might it be rendered subservient to!
How much I wish I could look into such a

Newspapek on Silk. The Pekin
China, a newspaper of extraordinary size,
is published weekly on silk. It is said to
have been started more than a thousand
years ago somewhat earlier than the one
under the patronage of the "good Queen
Bess." An anecdote is related to the
effect that in 187, a public officer caused
some false intelligence to be inserted in
this newspaper, for which he was put to
death. Several numbers of the paper are
..reserved in the Boy Library at Pans.
They are each ten and a quarter yards
long.

A SHORT STORY.
When Mary and I wat married,'
say Grant Thprburn, we were young and,
with ; but Mary was delicate, and I
thought 1 could take care of her best. I
knew 1 had a strong arm and a brave heart
to depend upon.
"We rented a chamber and went to
house-keeping. We got together a little
furniture a table, bedstead, dishes, but
our money failed us before we bought the
chairs. I told Mary she must turn up a
tub; lor I could not run in debt. No, no.
It was not long before our rich neighbor
Mrs M., found us out, and kindly enough
tlie supplied us half a dozen chairs, added
to our store. They were old ones, to be
sure, but answered just as well (or us. C
hhall never forget the new face those
chairs put upon our snug quarters they
never looked just right before. The tables
have turned with Mrs M. and me. Now
she ha become a poor widow ; but she
shall never want while have anything,
never! cried the old man, with a beaming
face, ' 1 shall never forget those old
chairs."
And now the secret was out! It was
the interest of the old chairs which main
tained the poor widow. She was living
on the interest and compound interest of
a little friendly act done years before, and
it sufficed for herself and her daughter.
How beautiful it is to see how God
blessed the operation of his great moral
law, Love thy neighbor;' and wc should
oftener see it, could we look into the hid
den paths of life, and find that it is not
self-interest, nor riches, nor fame, that
binds heart to heart. The simple power
of a friendly act can do far more than they.
It is these, the friendly acts, the neighbor
ly kindness, the Christian sympathy of
one towards another, which rob wealth of
its power to curse, extract the bitter from
sorrow, and open wells of gladness in
desolate homes. We do not always sea
the golden links shining in the chain of
human events but they are there, and happy
is he who feels their gentle but irresistible
influence.
KAPria Punishments. Death i fre
quently inflicted among this nation, and
in various ways, most of them diabolically
cruel. I will merely mention one as a
specimen of the most ingenious and re
fined cruelty, and. as it appears to me,
one of the most frightful tortures that can
be inflicted. The culprit is rubbed all
over with grease; he is then taken to an
ant hill, against which he is placed and
secured to the ground. The ant-hill ia
then broken, and the ants left to crawl
over him and eat his flesh from his bonetv
which they do in time most effectually.
I doubt whether the inquisition ever
invented a torturs so horrible and linger
ing as this must be. Let me remind the
reader that these ants are three times the
size of those he is accustomed to see in
England, and their bite most irritating
and painful. The Cape and if Kaffir $.
He that perseveres is lure to conquer.
