I Qhce had a remarkable intitatian to torn pirate. Two persona, Wlio no*w are rery staid merchants atid reputable’ ship-ownera,, were the demons of iniqui ty who were my tempters. At that tune they werB respectively ten and* eleven years old, and I had turned eight. They proposed that 'we should seize. clajn-moop of the burthen of ten tonsj which lay a t the dock ; arm her with a two-poTUider swivel Tyhich \vfas stored in a neighboring lumber yard, and our fathers’ shot-guns; victual her from our fathers'larders; and sail to the Spanish Main, there to capture merehantmen, and found a rover’s government Upon some one of the E ^ s . I declined the offer; not because I thouglit the design' neither practicable nox’ praiseworthy, bnt since I had heard a kinsman de scant upon the horrors of sea-sickness, and -was quite sure that I could not stand it. As the two were to be captain and first lieutenant, and I was neeessaiy to constitute the crew, my failure to ship jknocked th e soheme-in-the head. The swivel remained iu the lumber-yard to be peaceably employed in feing salutes on holidays, the clam-sloop sailed for another cargo of the tough bivalves, the pirates in intent grew up, into peaceful importers, and I became a land-pirate only, or what is eojganioniy known as an attoniey-at-law, Bnt, though I did not go a-pirating, I always kept myself well-read in the lite rature of the profession, and acquired a deal of useful and entertaining infor mation concerning all the noted free booters, from Drake to Eidd. Not that I ever admired the latterworthy, I al ways thought him a fraud as a pirate— his adventures being very common place, and his end obtained on false grounds. He owes his distinction main ly to the imagination of the^ eminent, but unknown poet who has given us so touching an account of the fife, adven tures and tragical death of our hero. Poet-like, however, he drew on his imagination for his facts. He calls E idd by the name of ’WTTiT.TAur, when he was christened BoHEiir, and so his name is given both in his privateer’s coinmis- sion, and in that issued in January, 1695, by Ms Gracious Majesty, W toliam the Third, authorising him to catch M aob .I beii S bi ), W ake ahd other pirates. Nor, though he vyas hanged at Execu tion Dock, was it forpira<qr, bnt for the murder of a gunner, A bbahaji M ooeb , whom he knocked on the head with a bucket. And he was sneaking enough to complain of his conviction, and assert “that he had been sworn against by jmrjnred and wicked people,” instead of demanding to be led to execution like a bold sea-robber who had no fear of death, and no positive repugnance to an interview with the poEto Mr. J ohn K etch . Kidd was rather a pififul fel low—hesitating throughout Hs career i aXid silly enOTigh. at tlie close to coine where he was known, instead of going to some new place where he could have lived comfortably on his booty, and died in the odor of sanctity. I do noT ad-' mu'e Kidd. But there were twfl pirates, contem- >rary ■with Kld.d!, that were famous fel- .^ws in their way, with adrentnres well worth attention. Captain M isson and Captain EKiW; and qf these Misson. would be most missed, Tew being the least of the two, though considerable enough in his way. And as near as my memoiy serves me—for I have no print ed narrative at hand —1 intend to give an account of men who had a desire to found a new state, and would have suc ceeded, doubtless, had the material at hand not been composed of scamps and cut-throats. And I intend fliso to in-, trodnee a piratfe who was not only “ks' mild a mannered man as ever cut a throat,” b u t was a pious pirate also—a rather novel gort of person, even in a dime novel. ' Misson was a gentleman of ^ good family in Prance—entitled to' write de before Ms!_ name, though ho never troubled himself with such vanities— and of a poetical place, being a Proven cal. He was weU-educated, his parents intending to obtain him a position in the Boygl Guard—the famous muske teers, of whom thht Veracious histdrian, AilEXANfimsDiJMASj lovestptieat. But Misson determined on adventures by sea, ftnd so pestered hEdson p ire and mere, that they sent him as a volnnieer on board the Viciolre, commanded by a relative of their ovm, named P otjbbin . Here he was treated with consideration, and put to no .duty; hut h a setMmself hard at work mastering seamanship to its smallest duties, soon hecoming quite an expert navigator. During a leave of ^absence on sixoie lie became aoxinoinietl with a rpnogade priest, named .O abbac - ciou, who, beeoming Unfaithful to his vows, was ready for any kind of vil lainy, imcl seems to havhbesn an ae- compUshed scoundrel ready to turn his hand to aa^hing whereby a dishonest penny might be turned. Both educat ed, both of pleasant manners, and both natural-born scamps, they became fast friends. Misson introduced the ex-Do minican on board ih&*Viehire, where he was made welcome. Shortly after Missoh’s flret sea*0ght occurred, the T'ictoirc feU in with^ two Safiee Rovers—one of twenty and 'ano ther of twenty-four guns. The Vieioire had only thirty guns, bnt engaged in spite of the disparity of m etel ' Onp of the Sallee-men capsized and went down, the other was carried by hoarding, after an obstinate fight in which Misson and his priestly friend distinguished them' salves. After this the Victoire return ed to port, in order to be docked, and Misson and his companion volimteered for a short cruise on board another French ship, where they gratified their inclinations by participating in another fight. They then returned and sailed in the Victoire. CarraceioE at once commenced his work of demoralizing the crew, both in religion and politics, and soon succeed ed admirably. He designed to seize the ship, and would not have stopped at mutiny; but a singular accident brought the opportunity he desired into his hands. Off Martinique they -met with an EngEsh man-of-war, the Win- ehelsea, carrying forty guns. The EngEshmau was too much for theni't Her first broad-side kiEed the captain, second captain, and two Heutenants, lea-ving the master in command. The new commander saw that the Vicioir^ was no match for her antagoiust, and would have stnick his colors f hutMis- soa pushed him aside, ordered Carrao- cioE to act as Eentenant, and continued the action. By one of those curious events which occur without any known cause, the powder magazine on the IFiVic/ieZsea was fired, and she blew up, destroying aU on board except Lieut. F kankii IN. He was picked up aEve, but was so badly injured that he died in two days. Here was the-opportunity for the two friends. So soon as tho action termin ated by the loss of the English ship, CarraceioE saluted Misson as captain, and inquired if he wanted a temporary or conionued command. He told him that when he returned to Martinique he would find the vessel he had saved given to another, and if he were made aEeu- tenant even, it would be wonderful. He had a chance now to command or of being commanded. The screw were ready to foEow him. He could, instead of f i g h t ^ as a younger brother for years, with EtEe chance to win fortune, bid defiance to aU the kings of Europe, reign absolute sovereign of the South Seas, and make puceessful war on the world. H e . might possibly found a maritime state. M ahdhmhd ' had found ed the OrroMAN empire with a few camel-drivers, and_DAnius, with a half dozen to back him, had seized the crov/n of Persia. Misson reaEy wanted no u r ^ g , and on this calied aE hands on deck, and made them on address. As they had already been cormpted by the ex-priest, they accepted Misson as Oaptain and CarraceioE as Lieutenant, chose subordinate officers, and made ready to go buccaneering. But first, CarraceioE, who was the statesmaHof-theHew'zeahn, xaade tLem a speech, 'which smacked of the piety of hia old vocation, mingled with some of the blasphemy belonging to the new. I t was a special plea in behalf of piracy as a- pleasing and pious pursuit, sup ported by examples drawn from history. He objected to fighting under the black flag. They were not pirates—nothing so vile and dissolute. Theirs was a just, a noble and an innocent cause— the cause of liberfy. “1 advise,” said this BxoHnj.fRU of free-booters, “ a white ensign, with LEierty painted in the fly, and if you like the motto—'a Deo a Xiibei'tatd —for G od and iibejHy, as an emblem o f our uprightness and resolu tion.” Misson was not to be behind his sub ordinate in noble sentiments, nor in piety either; He made a speech to the men, in wWoh he eidorged on Eberty and the rights of man—except where man o'wned a merchant vessel-.-and spoke of a Bupteme Being, to whom reason and gmtitnde prompted us to render adoration. By way, possibly, of doing this praoiicaEy, he declared war against a ll European ships, whose own ers and states would brand their gener ous body as pirates. At the same time he recommended a humane and gener ous treatment of dU prisoners, as an evi dence of the magnanimous souls'of those under his command. GDiien. cdmm^ced. one of tHe mos^ markable piratical cruises oe record. Ship after.shij), merchants and piiva- feersmeh, -feU into the hands of Mieson. The hea'vy armament of his ship, and the fact that he kept his men from being brutalized by murder—for he never al lowed a prisoner to be put to death, nor even personaEy pftindered—gave him effective discipline at command; WhEe his skEful management secured the ardent affection of the crew, who chris tened him “ the good oaptain.” Yessel after vessel fell into their hands. Among these was the Nieuivstadt, a Dutch ship, carrying eighteen guns, and having, besides ten thousand dol lars worth of gold dust, seventeen slaves oh board. Here was a chance for the pirate to show hia phEanthropy. He declared that slavery was a crime ; that those nrho possessed a knowledge of the Deity and sold their fellow-men, proved their reEgion to be mere grimace; and a great deal more that has been urged since then by W endei * P ttttttpr . . and such enEghtened land-pirates of our own day. Of course, the men very much applauded these fine sentiments, especially as they were to keep the negroes. At this point there came near being a shipwreck of the virtue of this model community of sea-phEanthropists. The Dutch prisoners Were messed with the men UntE there would he a chance to set them ashore, ox- on board some pas sing vessel not worth capture. These Hollanders turned out to be naughty feUows, who set a had example of drunkenness and profanity. At thik Captain Misson felt and expressed great horror, ’Such, a thing as profene swear* ing had been unknpwix before on the Victoire.^ He declared that such a sin would bring punishment—that “if they ■ had a just idea of that Great Being they wotdd never mention Him, but they would immediately reflect on His purity and their own vEeneBs;,” The pious captain then gave the Dutch notice, that the first Mynheer he caught with an oath on his Eps, or Equor in his noddle, should be triced up and sound ly flogged, as a terror to aUEke offend ers. And he wound up by a pathetic appeal to his own crew not to imitate the vices of theirenemies, and estrange themselves from the Source of Life, and consequently leave themselves destitute of His protection. Of course the holy sentiments thus evoked had full sway, drunkenness and profanity disappeared, and to reward them for their Tirtue and religion, eno' ther rich Dutch vessel came in sight, .which they plimdered and sunk. He was rewarded further by having eleven of the Dutchmen to join the crew of pious pirates. A further reward was an EngEsh ship of thirty-two guns, which he carxded by hoarding, took from it three hundred thousand dollars in’erown pieces, made-it-a-partof his navy, under the command of Oarraccioli, and enEst- ed all its crew in his service. Misson was now approaching the height of his power and glory. He saEed off the coast of Madagascar; made an alEance -vrith the natives of the island of Johanna, defended the queen, ■wliose sister lie Lad married, against an invasion of the king of Mohila; took a Portuguese ship having over a milEou of doEars in gold dust; and finaEy buEt two forts on the coast of Madagascar, on each side of a harbor where he in tended to raise a town. These he mounted with forty guns taken from the Portuguese vessel, with a battery of ten guns on an angle. He laid the founda tion of a new state to he called Ziber- iatia, the people to be known as the IdberL During this time he was not idle, bnt was still cruising around and making prizes ; when one day, after capturing a large and Valuable vessel, fie met with a brother buccaneer,'an Englishman named Tow—one of the pirate captains whom E M dhad been commissioned tp catch. TeW hod been sent out from Bermuda, in command of a privateer to destroy the French factory at Goree,^- but had gone into plunder on fiis o-wn account. He and Misson soon frater nised, and the colony grew so large and formidable—bealing_ off five Portuguese armed vessels—-that it becamenecessary to amend the- Constitution. A Con servator was elected for three years, vdth the title of Supreme Excellence with power toappoint the great ofScers; and a law was made providing for an annual session of the State in legisla ture, or ofteuer if the Conservator and CouncE saw fit. Misson -was, of course, chosen Conservator, Captain Tew was made Admiral, and CarraceioE, Seere- ta ^ of State. It is a pity tohave to give an unfavor able end to-thia charming piratical state, founded by such a pious person as Mis- Bon, and supported by the bravery of Tew and the statecraft of CarraceioE. Bat it met with a series of misfortunes. Tew went out oruising in the Victoire, which had been rebuEt, and while he was on shore one lught, a storm arose so violent that he could not hoard the vessefi which parted her cables and was lost with oE her crew. Here Tew was finaUy joined by Misson with two sloops. He brought bad news. The natives had surprised and nearly exter minated the colony. He had escaped with a large quantity of rough diamonds find bar gold on the two sloops, and had brought off only forty-five mep, 9fie two condoled with each other on their mishaps. They then shared the property and started for America. Mis* son’s sloop, withfifteen men, went down off Cape Infantes. Tew arrived at Rhode Island safely. He sent off to Ihe owners four times the value of the Sloop they had fui-nished him with OriginaEy, and they never disturbed him. He Eved for a whEe ia great quiet; but some of his men who had squandered their shares, importuned him so often to go off on the old ac count, that he consented for just one voyage. On that cruise they attacked jqx Indian vessel near the Straits enter ing the Red Sea. During the engage ment Tew was shot in the bowels and kEled. His faU struck such terror into the crew that they Surrendered. Such is the history, as near as I can remember it^of two—or rather of three —of the most remarkable freebooters recorded in history. In the fact that they never murdered or El-treated their prisoners, they differ from thos’e ofi a later date, and from many of their O'wn time. The affectation of piety on the part of Misson wa? absurd; yet, fiad not misfortune overtaken their colony, fie and his companion would have doubtless founded a well-ordered state, distinguished in after years for the piety of its Exhabitants and their horror of piracy. Certainly they were not worsq robbers than tho-Scandinaviiai pu-ates, and had none of the latter’s blopdthirst- iness. The horror that iCsson had of profanity and drunkenness was coin- iitendable. He reminds me very much of certain Xankee OoUeotors of the In ternal Revenue, who never swear, never drink, and never kEl any one, and though they rob the pubEc, do it in the name of G od and Eberty. UnEke Mis son, however, they have no desire to fonnd a state—^ii is quite enough that they find a state to plunder. ALOOHOLIO. ’ AJchohol is a produotof putrefaction. It is to Equids what carrion is to meat. I t begins with the death of the grain; it ends With the death of the drinkef.— All processes of distiEationareforinsof decay and death. This alcohol, thus obtamed by abnormal processes, is the inloxioating element in aE intoxicathig drinks. The chief difference between beer and Whiskey is the percentage Of alcohol. We are told that it iS the abuse, not the use, of alcoholic drinks against Wliich wO shoiEd guard the com munity. Granted. W hat is the use of alcohol? It-is certainly not food. The experi ments of Messrs. 'LAunnsiAND, I ^ bbin , and Dunox demonstrate that beyond peradventnre. It passes out of the stomach in the same condition in which it entered—^onassimEated, a foreign Snhstance. The body can makhpnt of it neither bone.nor sinew, ttinSele' blood or flesh. It hates to rid itself of the intm- det. Part is carried to the iunp. The fames of the toper’s breath bear witness to its exhalation. Bart is carried to the kidneys, where i t is the prolific cause of B bight ’ s disease. Part is earried-to the hrahij which soaks it up like a mouge. Part is carried to the skin, Which, irri tated by its presence, breaks out in boils and blotches. Every part of the body becomes impregnated with it. The toper is i-ightly caEed an “old SoUkef.” The fest effect of alcohol fe thus to spur the system up tp strenuous efforts tDCast out its foe. It stimulates. It does not, cannot strengthen. It is never truly a tonic. Eat, E xtpromolee some activities, i t delays others. The excretory organs are so busy getting rid of this intruder that they are pre-vented frompursuing their legitimate business. The old, effete,worn-out tissues, there fore remain. Men drink to gain flesh. This flesh of the-toper is carrion. Al- oohbl never makes nev7 flesh nor new musole. It simply hinders wasted, and so forbids repair. This is its sec ond effect. But, as aH men know, its chief effects are on the brain. Every poison has its special affinity. That of alcohol is for the nervous system. But it is the base and not the top of the brain it stimulates. It paralyzes the wEl. It dethrones the reason. It -vi tiates the affections, i t gives predom inance to the binte. A drunkard is Eke a great city imder the law of tfie mob. Such are the effects of alcohol in its best estate. But alcohol in its best is a rarity. Strychnine, stramonium,bel ladonna, tobacco, coculus and opium are aE employed to cheapen and to strengthen it. Adulteration is univer sal Dr. B ubasi C ox , chemical inspect- tor in Ohio in 1865, after an analysiB of the products of six hundred different stores, reported oyer ninety per cent, adulterated. Sulphuric acid, red pep per, peEtory, caustic, potash, brucine, and stiychnme were among the articles used for adulteration. Let no man think that his Equor is pure because he got it directly fx-pm the custom-house. The jnerchants of Oporto ship yearly five times as much wine as is produced in jh e Duoro TaEey. One drug house iixJlKJndon last year^spld to.one Equpr firm in that oily more strychnine than the whole medical profession of tfie city would require in the same time.

Of these Hqupi-s—dis tilled, brewed and vinous—^we are con suming in the UnitedStatesfivehundred and forty milEon gaEons per year; or nearly twenty gaEons to every man, woman, and chUd. We ha-ye a drink ing saloon to every three hundred'in habitants. And we employ in. the mak ing and sale of these di-ngs three hundred and thi^-five thousand men.

The theft was discovered, and her father made her wear the figs on -a string round her neck the whole evening with full ex planations why. We heard the story wfien the chfld -had gro-wn up to he a woman, and from her own Eps; find she said that to this hour she suffered from the shame of that evening 1 it was burnt into her, and made a wound in effaceable for Efe. It was a tremendous punishment for the fault; the fault it self being in so young a chEd -as -she was—five years old ohly—onethatmight fiave been punished and reformed by mEder measures. It seems to have been a mistake, judging from the bit terness with which the father’s ohar- aofcer was spoken of—she said she had ceased to love him from that day—and from the Stem and loveless nature of the woman herself it seemed to have cast out aE softness from her. And thou^, to be sure, she stole no more figs, yet she had learned her lesson of keeping her fingers tram wandering into the region of &rbiddendaintiea at too severe cost. The poEcy of humEiation is a dangerous. one at aE times and on aE occasions, and far more souls have been confirmed by over-lenioncy.

The Technologist, for October, had thefoEowingon“BuEdingmAutunm There are several strong objections against beginning to erect a building ■with the intention of finishing it next season, or even completing the edifice before cold weather. Masons have often persuaded their employers to dig the ceEar and then let them carry up the foundation walls late in Autnnm, so as to be ready very early the next season to erect ■&e superstructure. Every m- telligeiit m ^ o n iiiows tliat tlie practice IS not a good ofife. Yet, os masons are always crowded with foundation work in the former port of the season—^wMch is the proper time to do such work—if they can induce an employer to Com mence the foundation of a biiildiiig in the FaB, the masonS wEl gain the ben efit of a paying job, and frequently two jobs, as a ccEar waE erected jUst before cold weather wEl often be so seriously damaged hy hearing and settling that a portioh—perhaps aE of it—wiE have to be relaid the next season. When a foundation waE is buEt with mortar fiEed in the interstices,—^wfiich is the only correct way to \prepare a foundation for any buEding,—^thC Mor tar near the middle of the wall -wEl not become reaEy consoEdated during a period of six months, E |;he weather be favorahie. But, if a new waE is exposed to cold weather only a few weeks after it has beenTnull, the\'green mortar at the middle *wEl be frozen before i t is dry, which wiE damage the waE by bursting the layers of stone or,brick asunder, and by destroying the' soEdi- fying principle of the lime or cement; After green mortar has been frozen and thawed two or three times,- there wEl be no more strength in a wall than E the fitoues and bricks had fieen laid in a ifiortax mddC'-bf asLes, sand and clay. In most instances, the earth beneath a foundation waE wEl be frozen more or less, wfiioh -wEl destroy its compactness to such an extent that the waE wiE set tle -unevenly, often cracking from top to bottom before the superstructure is erected. Resides this, the bank of earth outside of the waE wEl e ^ a n d by freeze ing—especiaEy where it is not of a d r j and graveEy character—so that the whole waE wiU be thrust inward so far heypnd a perpendicular position that most of it wEl have to be taken down and rebuilt. CeEar waEs are frequently thrust inward by the frost, even when a fieavy superstructure rests on them. I t is sometimes as important to exeluda frost from a ceUar, to prevent freezing the earth outside the walls,, as to keep vegetohles from being frozen. The dis advantages of shorter days also, and more stormy weather than we are Eable to have in the former part of the season, must be, encountered whbn one -com- merices to buEd in Autumn rather than in the Spring. If the fbiindaiion wall is built early ia the season with good mortar, the entire structure wiE have thrusts of the earth during the freezing process.

The most novel and im portant feature, of ihis invention ap- pCaraio be A regulatingvnlve by which the air is admitted from themain reser voir into .asmaEer one, from which the cylinder is directly suppEed, This valve serves os a governor to keep the pressure in a smaEer reservoir, and consequently in the cylinder, at such uniform rate as may be required. M other essential feature of the engine is that the train is not stopped by brakes,l)nt by reversing the action of the piston, which results * not only in stopping the progress of the' engine, but also in forcing air back ^lo the smaEer reservoir, and thus obtain ing an extra supply for starting^ In other words, by this action the momen tum oVercom^ in stopping is bottled up for immediate use in starting again. It is said that the principal objection is, ihe excessive weight of the engine ;hlit this the inventor states he is Confident he can overcome. la^Tlie test by which any yoiyig man coimot fail to flizid a Rood wife is tD se- lect one who wears her own hair.

It kept me awake an hOuV dr sd trying to determine whether that was aE there was -of it, or whether there was something to come after that asleep, and forgot all about the trouble. I don’t know how long I slept, b n t I fell to dreaming I had made a -match for $50 a side to fight a cross-cut saw in a steam- miE, and was weE to work on the job, when the saw got my head between its teeth. I thought this was a favorable time^to wake up^ and I did so. It im- I mediately transpired that I ,might bet- - ter have stayed where I was, and taken the chances with the saw. I found myself sitting straight up in bp d ,^th one hand spasmodipaEy grasp- ing my jaw, and the other swaying to and ffo i7ithout any apparent cause. I t Was an awful pain. It bored Eke Egh'tning through the basement of my jaw, darted across the roof of my mouth, and then ran lengthwise of my teeth, if every paqg bad been a drunken plow chased by a dembh across, a stump lot, ; I think the observer would understand my - condition. I could no more get. hold of the fearful agony that waS ca vorting around in me, than I could pick up a piece of wet soup when in a great hurry. Suddenly i t stopped* It went, giving me a parting kick that fairly made me howl. _ _____________ _ I thoughtl was rid of the toothache, but-R grumbling set in next morning.

Said h e : ' •“You ha'Ve caught a terrible hard cold.” - ■ •“I havA” , “I t seems the trouble is with one of the bicuspids.’* Of course I didn’t kno'w what abicus- pid was, but I thought it wouldn’t look well in the head of the family being stuck with so short a word as that; so I asked, irith some vigor: “ WMoh one?” “The tumorous,” said he. “I am glad it aiq’t any worse,” I re-* pHed, throwing a sigh of reEef. “The frontal hone is not seriously af fected; the submaxElary gland is some what enlarged, but it does not necessa rily foEow that parotitus wiE ensue.” “I am proud to hear that,” said I— wMeh I certainly was, although if the parotitus bad ensued it is not at all Ekely that I should have minded it much, unless it was something that would spiE, as I was dressed up in my best. He kept on talking and angling. “The oesophagus ain’t loose,” he next remarked. “Ail!” said I, winking at him. “Ph, no, the Egaments are quite firm. I might say —” “Did it hurt you?” he asked, as cool and calm as the- Ed of an ice-cream freezer. “Hurl me! Great Heavens! did you expect to spEt me open wEh a watch- spring and not have i t hurt me ? What WAS the matter—did you sEp?” “pertainiy not, ” he said; “I was sim ply gelling hold of the tooth.

A boE is generaEy veiy small at first Bud a feEow hardly notices it, but in a few days it gets to be the biggest of tbe two, and the chap that has it is of veiy little account in comparison, with his boE, which then “has him.” BoEs ap pear mysteriously upon various portions of the human body, coming when and where they please, and often in very in- convenient places. Sometixnes a soli- tary boil is the sum total of the afflic tion, but frequently there is a“rubbish- ia’ lot of ’em” to help the first one. If a boil comes anywhere on a person, that person always wishes it had come some where else, although it would puzzle him to say where. Some persons caEtbem “Damboils,” but such persons are addicted to pro fanity—the proper name is boil. If a chap has a boil he generaEy gets a good deal of sympathy from others—“in a horn.” - \Whoever asks him what aEs Mm, laughs at him for Ms pains to an swer, wMle many unfeeling pemons make game of him, or of Hs misfor- tane; persons /eel very bad about it. Boils are said to be “healthy,” and judging from the way they take hold, and hang on, and ache, and bum, aud grow, and raise Cain generaEy, there fr no doubt that they are healthy and bare good eoestitntions.. They,are.genfiraEy very Evely and playful at night, and it is a very goad ’“ efreus” to SC-C -i chap with a large one, prespecting around his couch for a place whfire his boE wiE fill it: in “■witbout burting,*' Boils tend to “purify the blood,” strengthen the system, calm the nerves, restrain profanity, tranqnilize the spir its, improve the temper and beautify the appearance. They are good things for married men who spend their evenings away from home, as they give them an opportunity to rest their night keys and get acquainted irith their famiEes, If is said that boils save the patient “a. fit of sickness,” but if the sickness is not the best |o have, it must be an “all ured mean' thing.” It is also said that a person is belter after be has had them/ and there is no doubt that one does feel much better after having, got rid of them. Many distinguished per sons have enjoyed these harbingers of health. J ob took the first premium at the County Fair for having more aehers under cultivation than any other person, S hakspeasb had them, and meant boils when he said, “ One woe doth tread up on another’s heel, so last they foEow.” 'There.are a great many remedies for boEs, most of wMeh are weE worth try ing, because, if they don’t do any good, they dOnt,hurt the boEs.
