REMEDY FOR A STROKE OF THE
SUN.
A corretponrient of the New York
Evening Poet noticing the many persons
wno nave sanerad from Hie effects of being
sun struck says ' thai in the West Indies
where such occurences are frequent, they
adopt the following simple mothod of eutiitg
the unfortunate patients: Thin gla bottles
(French sweet oil bottle,) are filled with
cold water, and corked op; one ie held
traniversely on the crown of the head,
by which means the rays of the son are
drawn from the systsm to the water, which
soon becomes very warm, and is laid away,
and another,, and still another similarly
applied, till all the fire is drawn out and
the patient restored. The colder the water
the better.
EXaUISlTE IRONY-POVERTY.
As poverty is the lowest, s it is the
most impudent of the whole family of ri

and in hours of penitential castigation,
bolts itself in a pew of best upholstery . and
in a fit of humility, lasting at least a coup
le of hours, calls itself a miserable sinner.
Hence, pride at iw worst has ift good grarl
ces. At all events, it never otJenda that
extraordinary abstraction, pablic decency;
lor tnougn we hear much about it ,tt is,
nevertheless, sometimes as diflicult to dis

When we say education, we mean the
peculiar bottle it studies. For the drunk
enness that ponders over champagne, is a
very dinerent vice to the drunkenness
that take libations from pewter quartens.

avarice are called icesj for our part, we
have ever thought them amongst the no
blest virtues. And so indeed in their heart
of hearts, do nine men nut of ten think
them. And this is what they do; they give
them hard names ana then, to make, a
mend for their seeming harshness, take
them to their bosomS; in the same way
that a looiiah mother, when she sees her
baby, doing all sorts of household misde
meanors, cries, "you little wretch," and
then patches the child in her arms and
rovers it with kisses. There are a few
other vices that may all of them be turned
into passable virtues, if found in good
company. Lust, cruelty, selfiishness, each
and all of th-se mar have a Very pretty
alias, another trilling-, musical name for
Che long ears of biped thistle eatets. But
there is one rice, anJ that rice if poverty,
which all men declare to be infamous, in

cabins and cellars, or sent like a scape

There was living at Uarlfem, an old man

agreed that the young , couple should lire
n the house with the patent, as he was a
itvldower. Things went exceedingly well
for some time, when the abit proposed to
his parent l ha be should make over to

The father, through persuasion, gave htm
i deed of gift of it, and erery thing belong

After a' few years, aa the father grew
old, he grew a little fretful and dissatisfied,
while the son, thinking he had nothing
more to expect frotn him, forgot his filial
duty, and used hi aged father worse , than
he did his serranu. .The old mart was no
longer permitted to eat at the table with
his son and wife, but compelled to take
his meals in the chimney corner, and be
continually otherwise ill-used by tbem.
The old man ate his victuals daily . Irom i

His grand-aou saw hi father make this'
bowl, and set about making just such an
other.;, ,-' ""-.. !

heart, and made him reflect, that as he
dealt by his father, he might expect to be
dealt with by his children when he grew
oia, still it had no effect upon hira, and
the ill-usage was carried to such a height
that the old man could no longer bear it
but lelt the house and went to a relation
and neighbor of hi declaring that if his
friend could not help him to get his farm
back again, he should be obliged to come
and live with him.
, H's friend answered that lie imp-lit come
and live with him, and, if he would follow
his directions, he would help hira gel his
estate airain. "Take this basr of dollars.
carry it into your room, at your son's, shut
it up well jn your chest, and about the
time you expect they will call you down
lo dinner, shut your door, and bsre all
your dollars spread on a table, in the mid'
die of the room. W hen they call you,
make a noise with them by sweeping them
from ibe table Into the bag again."

T.he old man related to hi friend what
he had done, who p-ave him directinns what
to do if his son asked him for the money;'
the old msn rery busily engaged in count
ing out h's money, and at the next meal
tiiue asked what money it was that he had
been counting.
Only some money I had received for
the discharge of one of the bonds I had
standing out. I expect more in a few
dsys, and I fear 1 shall be obliged to take
Mr. N s farm, upon which I hare a
mortgage, as he is not able to raise the
money, and if the farm is sold it will not
fetch as much as will discharge the mort
gage."
Alter a few days, the son told the falher
he intended. 10, build .a. houaaan tha farm.

"Yes, child, all that I have is coming to

- Accordingly his friend and cousin, who
had devised the scheme, came to the houst.
when the son gave up the old deed, that
another mtjht be drawn from it. " When
the old man had got the instrument in his
hand, in presence of his friend, he broke
off the seal, and committed the writing to
the tire, saying:
Burn! cursed instrument of my . folly

MORALINFLUENCE Ot DRESS.
A portion of the community, pitied by
the wise, seem lo regard dress ss the most
essential object of attention; whilst others,
equally inconsistent, treat it with utter
contempt, regarding it only a a net essary
evil entailed upon man by the fall, and
hardly deserving a thought.

bandt;-and ihahel welfare and improvo

of the human family flutter for a day; and
Ihea their wing drooptheir freshness

But, on tho other band, the whoteal
mistake of those who despise- and neglect
all attention to dress, - ia equally to be re

the usefulness of some of th meet elf
