While I was with Troy & Robinson, nay first clerkship, by the way, I used to couut a great deal on my vacationâ it was fotu- w^ekg in Septemberâand lay a good many plans about «pending it pleasantly, O f course an invitation to some nico place was very aooeptable, lor a junior clerkâs in c o m e » not âoften â I « ! « r'and this year, 18â, no, matter fo r the lust figures, I was rery much in hopes of twoâowe from my maternal (grandmother in Virginia, another from m y old friend Charlie Pell, who had «o n e months before promised to ask me lo bis mother's residence niMr Bos ton, Now my grandmother was a'rioh .jfyoman who had been a boaaty,and ÂĄ^was vcryvnuich o f the opinion that 1 she:! ?â would always remain one. She-.; had \'â 'plfflity'ttT'company and her housewas âŒcry ftleasant indeed, and I know that SIrR. Pell, though an excellent woman, was very formal, and seldom opened the cold, best parlor, whore tho piano was kept in solitary confinement, except for a p refer meeting. I f my grandmother invited me, I '«honld excuse m yself to Charlie and go to her/aud flirt with the girls and play- whist, and enjoy m yself generally; but if she cheated me, os sho sometimes did; why then I âd accept the Pells' in vitation. Charlie was a pleasant fel- \â low and I was a very little in love with ./tiia sister, who would surely be, home ». i.from boarding-school. These were'my platiH, but as timo passed on ana 'brought no letter from either of the parties whom 1 had supposed to be my expectant hosts, my spirits sank, and I looked forward drearily to the hottest ~ room in a cheap country bearding? house, or the alternative of staying at' homo at Mrs. Fergusonâs and hearing how ull the absent boarders were enjoy* ing themselves at the sea-side. Just us I had quite began to despair, howeverâindeed it was the tventy- '* 'eighth of Julyâ the earliest post brought mo two letters, one âą pale bine envel ope,,on which I recognised my grand motherâs fine running hand; tlie other âą white; business-looking affair, bearing Charlie Pellâ« wild scrawl.

Local BeiMdy la Diphtheria. Dr, James A.

Carbolic acid has its vota ries, as well as mnriatio acid and the lĂŒuriated tincture of i r o n ; externally the oakunj.JStialtice has Bome reputa tion, and no donbt iJ o f mote importance than we are ready to admit. Terebin- thiae liniment, as well as kerosene oil. stands prominent in tho list o f external remedies. . -Bat above and before all is the acid tannnte o f iron. This is a 'remedy not knowu to the pharmacopoeia, yet it stands second to none among local remedies, and I believe is the only one that Bears a shade of Bomblance to a remedy in this fearful disease, and thus far exceeds any that has beoome known to the professional world. I t may bo prepared by the addition o f ' one ounce of.the muriated tincture o f iron to,one of a.strong solution of tannin, andâ-ap plied by means of a brush to the diseased throat, or elsewhere, as the ease may be ; or, what I believe to be a better way, apply the muriated tino- ture of iron in full strength to tho diseased part with a brnsh, -wait a few moments, then apply the solution of tannin in the same way, thereby form ing a union of the two at the point of disease, having at \the \same' time the' advantage of chemical action, if thero be any. On examination a few hours after, you will see the line o f demarca tion distinctly drawn by the discolora tion of the diseased tisBue, showing ex actly the extent of the disease, the very thing desired, with a tendency to repaHtiou, which will go on tapidly if the system be properly treated with a nourishing diet and tonio and. stimu lating remedies. t Bad for the Child., Riding in the cars a few weeks since, says a writer, I heard a mother say to an nproarions child: â Jamie, be still I I f you donât stop Mraaming.ril tutow you out of the' car window, certain 'sure! Hash,, now, or youâll see what I âll do !â (iThe child,â a boy about tw o years old, looked his astonishment at the threat, but his cries were not mnch lessened. The mother took him up in her arms as'though she would throw him out, when ho soreamed in frantio terror and aluag to her neck with such appalling fear that 'she was forced to hush him with kisses, caresses and candy. â After a while he fell asleep, worn out with his tumultuous passion. Poor child 1 A little girl of four or five, who had watched the whole toene silently, but 'with / the deepest, interest,, and who, when her mother motioned-to throw her little brother from the ^rindow, had caught her arm in terror, now said : â Mamma, would you have thrown Jamie out ?â , ÂĄâ â No, > indeed,1 .child,â replied the mother; âąâą I only wished toâ frighten him.â â Frighten him,â forsooth !

Under.snch circumstauoes the Judge decided that the. landlord had done right, and that the peasant shonld pay the three louis dâors.1 The peasant, with a very ill grace, drew out hia. parse and laid the money,on the table. â I do not want' this morieyjâ said the landlord to â the' Judge,; â as' your honor'may' well Suppose. W ill you have the goodnesa to change one of these louis d'ora. and give the peasant two dollara o f itâfor that, as na con fessed to me, ia all that his 'wood is worthâ^and return the remainder to the poor Frenchman ? â .

The contractor was desirous of obtaining the locomotive to ' use : it elsewhere. - There was ao let-up on the part of the. creditors, and the locomo tive remained expoeed at the ^precise, point where it had been seized, and.the keeper' placed in' charge. ' The con tractor resorted ^to'strategy,â'H e sent up an engineer; and fireman with the .written request to the attaching parties, that they wonld allow.the engine to be fired up and worked; so as to lubricate the machinery, and thus fave depreeia- tiou. .The bait, took, and. the ; keeper was instructed to allow this, privilege. The engine waa fired up, and tne keeper went on this experimental trip .until they arrived. at a station, near which there was a well-known saloon.. I t waa, proposed to step off for refreshment«. The keeper agroed. the'fireman accom panying him. [Meanwhile the keeper kept'his e y e 'on the locomotive, and seeing the engineer backing and filling, ho thought all was. right.
