A SOFT PLACE. Away upin the mountains, where most men are honester than their shadows are long, and ara not afraid of themselves nor the dark, Tim Ginking’s uncle, an old bachelor. lived. See him yonder on a goods box, on the corner, in the sunshine. expiating to 8 small squad of fel- lows upon matters and things in meral, with an unimpeachable shirt-collar, his distinction, an elevated brow, a winking lid, a wicked eye, and a gracious mouth ; re ca occasion- ally with a pound of bis walking cane upon the pavement, and straightening his shirt-collar as final on the subject in question. f “ Take a seat, Tim, on the box with me,’ said be, after the rest of the party had strolled away ; ‘it's pleasant here. I waa down to see the widow, yesterday, Tim, and she gave me backbone for dinner.” By the way. widow Ida Liza Bangling is a nice little, sweet little, pretty little love of a lady ; rosy, round, and rolicksome ; plump asa plum, lively as sunshine, bright a3 her own eye, sharp, quick, and keen ; as lovel as plue veins set ou lily ruse color, and blood bounding full of life and spirit through them, could make her. Touch her hand, oe make the tingling blood loping through yo ee Tike a prs ya waist like a fair, shine im her face, and joy all over her, so charming is the little widow Ida Liza. * T was down to seo the widow, yesterday,” said Tim's uncle, “and she gave me back-bune fur dinner. I went down rather early in the morning; we chatted. and run on, she going out occasionally to see to things till dinner was ready, when she helped me graciously to back- bones. Now I thought that, Tim, rather favor- able. I took it as a symptom of personal ap- robation, because everybody knows I love Paax-hones, and I flatter myself that she cooked them on purpose fur me. So I grew particu- larly cheerful, and I thought [ could see it in her too. So after dinner, while sitting by the the widow, I fancied we both felt sorter com- fortable hke—I know I did. I felt that I had fallen over head ears and heart in love with her, and I imagined, from the way she looked, sue had fallen teeth and too-nails in love with me. She appeared just for all tho world like she thought it was a coming. that I was going to court her. Presently, I couldn't help it, laid my hand softly on her beautifal shoulder, and I remarked, when I placed it there, in my biandest tones, Tim, for I tried to throw my whole soul into the expression, I remarked then, with my eyes pouring love, truth and fidel- ity right into her, “‘ Widow this is the nicest, softest place, Lever had my hand in all my life.’ “Looking benevolently at me, and at the game time flushing a little, she said, in winning meltiag tones of Heron. “ Doctor, give me our hand, and Ill put it in a much softer plaee.”” “In a moment, in a rapture, I consented, and taking my hand, she gently, very gently, Tim, and quietly laid it on my Aead—and burst out into a laugh that Miss Heron knows nothing about—it's gry bi my ears yet.” : “ Now, Tim, I havn't told this toa living soul but you, and, by pee you_mustn’t; but I couldn't bold it any longer, so I tell you; but guind, it mustn’t go any further.”” i HOMEOPATHY. Dr. Hirebmann, a disciple of Hahnemann, has addressed a long letter to the Liverpool Jour- wal, in reply to some strictures upon the home- opathic system, which were quoted in that pa- yer. We quote from it a few paragraphs: “*T might go almost all through the nosologi- eal catalogue, and furnish illustrations of the truth of the homoepathie principle; suffice it, bowever, for the present purpose, to adduce a few examples, only, on the many medicines ca- pable of producing an affection similar to the cases they cure or relieve. A wesk solution of lunar caustic, or nitrate of silver, will greatly relieve an inflamed eye, which, in strong solu- tion, will violently irritate a sound one; this, thor homoepathic, is one of the most popular applications at the various eye infirmaries “ Alcohol, largely diluted and externally ap- plied, will relieve headache; when taken large- y inside will cause it, as too many practically kao Aconite, which in large quantities, disturbs the circulation. when so distr ved by disease, will in small doses be found most tranquilizing. “* Belladonna, in full repeated doses, acts tiv- lently upon the throat; in small doses, under similar circumstances, speedily cures. The same plant, in large doses, will produce a scarlet rash. diffienlty of swallowing, nausea, redness and swelling of the face, deliriums, convulsions, &e_; and, aceordingly, has very properly beeome a popular remedy, in some varicties of epidemic scarlatina, and to @ large extent it is preven- tive of thut fearful and fatal scourge. « Ipecacuanha, in large quantities, distresses and sickens the atomach—in small doses, soothes and allays vomiting. The influence of this root in exciting fits of difficult breathing. resemb- ling asthma, is beyond all doubt, as is also its reat utility in the relief of this and other af- jections of the respiratory organs Nux vomica, (and necessarily strychnine, with which, as well as coculus indicas, publi- cangand sinners take the liberty of sophisticat- ing divers sorta of liquors,) cause spasms, indi- gestion, bilious disorders, sickness, and retch- ing. convulsions.

Hereupon I requested him to show me some of the genuine liquor—in the state, that is, the state in which it leaves the pressour after the regular fermentation process, and before sweetening syrup is added. He presently selected a bottle from some bina at and, opened it, and poured out a glassful. A more unpalatable drink, under the denomina- tio of wine, I never tasted. It was like Sau terne mixed with wormwood. ~ Now, said Monsieur L—, “I have taken out two glasses from this hottie. Hereis a bot- Docrorine tle of sweetened syrup, from which [ will fill } fo up the deficiency you have just seen created.” 1 wituesed this filling up; and ho then handed the bottle to a cellerman, who corked and strung itin my presence. “That,” said he, ~ will, at no distant date, become a bottle of the primest quality.

X. a WASHINGTON THE MILES DARDEN OF SNAKES. A correspondent of the Abingdon Democrat, writing from Walnut Ifill, Lee county, Va who is, as the Democrat assures its readers, ‘ gentleman in whom implicit confidence may be piece,” gives the following account of the illing of a monster reptile in that country. He says: About three weeks . five men went to gatber whortleberries in the mountainous parts of Marlan county, Kentucky. and in their tra- vels came to a small branch, at the foot of a steep ridge, where they discovered a smooth beaten path, or rather slide. that led from the branch up the ridge. Curiosity tempted them to know its meaning, and they followed the trail to the top of the ridge, where, to their as- tonishment, they found about an acre of ground perteetly smooth and destitute of vegetation, near thy centre of which they discovered a small sink or cave. large enough to adiit a barrel. They concluded to drop in a tew stones, and presently their ears were saluted with a loud rumbling sound, accompanied with a rattling noise, and an enormous eerpent made his ap- rance, blowing and spreading bis head, and is forked tongue protruded. The men were struck with wonder and affright, and suddenly the atmosphere was filled with a smell so nau- Seating that three out of the five were taken very sick ; the other two, discovering the con- dition of their com ions, dragged them away from that abode of death. About ten feet of the snake had to their judg- ment made its appearance, when they hurried home and related what they bad secn to their nei r3. The next day were mounted some ten of the hardy mountaineers, armed with rifles, deter- mined to destroy the monster. On approachin; within one hundred — of the dwelling « his snakeship, their horses suddenly became restive. and neither kindness nor furee could make them go any nearer. Themen dismounted, and hitching their horsee, proceeded on foot, with rifles cocked, to the mouth of the cave. They hurled in three or four large stones, and fell buck some fifteen step:, when the same noise was heard as before, and out came the dreaded reptile, ready as his looks indicated to crush the intruders. About the same length of the snake had appeared from the hole. when eight or ten bullets went through his head, and, as the monster died, he kept crawling out, until twenty feet of that huge boa lay motionless on the ground. It was a Rattlesnake, with 23 rattles ;—the first was four inches in diameter, the rest decreasing in size tothe last. With difficulty the man daeen him home, and his skin can now be seen by the curious, in Harlan county. Getrixo Usep To It By Decrexs.—Some- where about here. writes a Southern corres- poonset, lives a small farmer of such social abits, that his coming home intoxicated was once no unusual thing. His wife urged him in vain to sign the pledge. “Why, you see,’ he would say, “I will sign it after a while, but I don’t like to break right off at once; it ain't wholesome. The best way is to get used toa thing by degrees, you know.” © Very well, old man,” his helpmate would say, ‘see if you don’t fall in a hole one of the-e days, while you can’t take care of yourself and nobody near to help you out."” Sure enough, as if to verify the prophecy, as he returned home drunk one day, he fell into a shallow well, and after a deal of useless scram- bling, he shouted for the “light of his eyes” to come and help him out. “Didn't I tetl you so,” said the good soul, showing her cap frill over the parapet; “ you've get inw a hole at last. and it is lucky I'am in uring, or you would have drowned. Well.’ she continued after a pause, letting duwn the bucket, “{take hold.’’ And up heeame. higher at each turn of the windlass, until the old lady's grasp slipping from the handle, down he went to the bottom again. This occurring more than once, made the temporary occupant of the well suspicious. “Look here!" he screamed in fury, at the last splash, ‘‘ you’re doing that on purpose—L know you are! © Well, now: Tam,” responded his old woman tranquiliy, while winding him up once more ~ Don’t you remember telling me it’s best to et used to thinga by degrees? I'm afraid if L tat you right up of a sudden you wouldn't u dit wholesome ' The old fellow could not help a chuckle at the application of his principle, and protested he would sign the pledge on the instant, if she would lift him fairly out. This she did, and packed him off to sign the pledge, wet as he vt you see,’ she added very emphatical- ly, “if you ever fall into the ditch again, I'll leave you thar—I will Prea ror Dexicacy.—Harper’s Weekly is somewhat scandalized at the prodigal display of articles fur females making up along Broad- way, and compassiunating the veling of those who have to shop for them, is earnest in recom- ding that female clerks should serve them 3 isa reform we desire much to see, for it will open a field of employment remarkably well adapted toa woman, and monopolized by young meu without right or reason.
