    UNCLE JOB Oil UNCLE AKISTIDESI
" Weij., Harry, baby must have another
godlather, and I don't see why Uncle
Aribtidos should not be asked. He will,
I know, accept," and is sure to remember
the child." Thus spake Mrs. Highfly to
her husband, as over the tea-table they
concerted arrangements for the christen
ing of their first born.
Mr. High fly apparently paid little heed
to his wife's remark, and was about to ask
her to again pass him the toast when,
glancing upward toward the lady's face,
he perceived indications of a coming
storm. He could tell from certain out
ward and visible signs that his Matilda
Jane meditated a sudden swoop, so, nerv
ing himself for the encounter, he respond
ed, in a mild tone : " We ought not, dear,
to forget Uncle Job."
The tempest broke. Mr. Highfly had
lx;en expecting it, but not so soon. The
lightning was flashing in his wife's eyes
and the thunder of her majestic voice was
rattling about his ears in a couple of sec
onds atter he had spoken. The reference
to Uncle Job did it.
"Uncle Job. indeed!" exclaimed the
irate Matilda Jane, every A her of her body
seeming to quiver with passion. " Who
next would you like to stand to your
child?"
When Mr. Highfly tossed her head, and
thus indicated supreme contempt for her
husband's selection of a sponsor, his re
ply was as follows: " With Uncle Job, my
dear, we have the required number, and
we need not further pursue the subject,
unless, having in your mind's eye Shak
epuare, dear the likelihood of other
christenings to come, you are preparing a
listot eligible persons to keep by you."
Poor Mr. Highfly made this remark in
his softest manner, and the little simper
with which he concluded would have
made it apparent to any one that he was
only giving utterance to a timid joke.
Stately Mrs. Highfly, however, did not
choose to accept it as such, but, turning
savagely upon her husband, poured out
some tcathing remarks. Pausing to see
what would be the ell'ect upon Harry, and
observing that he was unconcernedly sip
ping his tea, she bounced from the room,
noisily banging the door after her.
While the good lady of the house has
gone to vent her spite upon the domestic
below stairs the opportunity may be
taken of introducing Mr. and "Mrs. High
fly in a more satisfactory manner.
From his youth upward Harry Highfly
had been a clerk in Cash it & Bullion's
bank in Threadneedle street, and from
being one of the juniors had risen to a
confidential and important position. He
owed none of his advancement to influen
tial relatives, since his parents had been
humble country folk, who died soon after
their son came to the metropolis. He
was an only child ana knew no blood re
lations but an uncle on his mother's side.
Uncle Job Smith, however, was a sort of
nobody that is to sav, he had tried a
good many things, and always failed; he
wai a bachelor, but liked company;
Uncle Job was, in fact, a " choice spirit;"
his friends always welcomed him when
they wanted a bright, jovial, mirth-creat-infr
fellow anions them; but the same
good people invariably "cut" poor Job
when they met Lim next day in a crowd
ed thoroughfare. It was all very well to
know him in private, but in public it was
an entirely d liferent matter. Job was a
good hearted, generous soul, ready to lend
his last shilling to any one who asked
him; an act, however, seldom within his
power, inasmuch as he was more often
compelled to borrow than able to lend.
Of course, people with any reputation
wouldn't publicly recognize Job smith,
for he had three times figured in the
Gazette three times in fifteen years. Is
not that shocking? The first occasion
was when he was in partnership with
Steppit, the grocer, in Bristol. A noble
establishment they had, too. The
shop was blocked with tea chests, bur,
unfortunately, the chests were empty.
I he partnership existed tor six montns,
and then Steppit ran away, leaving Job
to settle all claims. A good many peo
pie averred Job had been swindled, but
lie lumseit uiu not say much about n. liv
'he way, you would not have expected
Job would, for he was never known to
utter an unkind or ill-natured word to
anyone. Harry, however, stuck t his
uncle amid this and hi3 other reverses, for
the remembrance of his former kindnesses
lived in his memory. When Harry was
in nis miiiietn year, ana naa obtained a
good posiiion in the banking establish
ment, he looked about him for a wife,
lie is very small of stature, and, follow
ing the example of most little men, fell in
love with a lady who was above the aver
age height of her sex. Matilda Jane
Brownjohn, like her suitor, had but few
relatives living a mother and an uncle.
This was at the outset a wonderful recom
mendation, but it was not the only one.
M. J. Brownjohn had money 1,500 in
round numbers, left her by deceased con
nections, in addition to some 300 more
6aved by careful economy during the
twenty-eight years of her existence. She
was not exactly good-looking when Harry
married her, and has not improved since;
but many people 1 know have rather a
preference for sharp features, a lurid
tinne in the hair, a long neck, and a bony
figure. Harry, for example, considered
her a very fine woman a splendid creat
ure and he backed his opinion by mak
ing her Mrs. Highfly. The lady had
borne this honorable title some fifteen
months when an heir came to share the
family prosperity. Harry, it need scarcely
be said, was immensely proud of his off
spring, who was reported by everyone to
be exactly like his father. Had the opin
ion been vice verso, perhaps Harry would
not have been quite so jubilant, for he
had discovered (come closer, dear reader,
that I may whisper this) that he had mar
ried a " deuce of a temper," as well as a
magnificent woman. Happily, the little
man was not easily roused; and when
she had tired, his good humor remained
undisturbed, and the wonted merry twin
kle of his eye was not in the slightest de
gree dimmed. When the infant was a
couple of months old the subject of the
christening arose, and many a battle
royal was fought over the choice of
sponsors. When he had married, Harry
had taken a small semi-detached villa
just outside Ealing, and their next neigh,
bors being the Foozles an intimacy soon
arose. Mrs. Foozle having been sum
mon) d to the bedside of Matilda Jane,
and having with Mr. F. expressed a de
sire to act as god-parents to the youthful
II iehfly, it was impossible to balk their
wish. Over the remaining sponsor there
ensued the grand struggle. Harry would
have liked his Uncle Job (whom Matilda
Jane seldom allowed within the house);
but his larger if not better half was de
termined that her Uncle Aristides, her
late father's brother, should lie selected.
Matilda Jane, be it noted, believed in her
uncle, who had passed some years in
Australia, but was now an oil-man in the
Borough, a bachelor, and, by reason of
his colonial experiences, claimed to be a
very clever and practical man. This gen
tleman, like Matilda Jane's surviving
parent, snubbed Harry, and considered
him as much inferior to them in intel
lectual and moral attributes as he was in
size ; so, altogether, a very pretty family
quarrel seemed to be brewing over the
, matter of the christening of the infant
Highfly.
On the present occasion the irrit-ble
Mrs. Highfly allowed her spouse an hocr
and a bait's peace ere she returned to re
new the attack. Harry, being in the calm
enjoyment of a cigar and the latest novel,
was indisposed toTresume hostilities; but
the lady was not to be defeated in her ob
ject. She bustled about the place, noisily
arranging the chairs, etc., savagely stir
ring the tire, and ringing the hand bell
for the servant with such vehemence that
at last Harry was fain to put aside his
novel and content himself with smoking
and starine at the blazing coals. Mrs"
Highfly was an adept in all those petty
feminine devices for annoying the male
bat which seem to be born in some
npntnen: so. when 6he saw that she had
succeeded in making her husband forego
the exciting narrative which had solaced
him in her absence, she began to make
nmTTipnta about the ill-savor of his
clear, and the disagreeable consequences
likely to ensue iu mc win- -.v-.,o,
only that morning brought out and sus-
J.aa fnr thfl PTisuinET season.
-Mru ii elan failed to arouse the
rlacid Harry, . Mrs. Highfly invariably
fell back upon tie quality ox nis cigars,
which she querulously proceeded to disparage.
Oh. that's vour opinion, is it? Well,
look here; you seem to know a lot about
tobacco; but I don't know how you
should, unless the old jaay usea to nave
hers on the quiet, and puff it up the chim
ney." By the "old lady" Harry alluded
to tne respectable person wno ownea jua
tilda Jane as her daughter. Certainly, it
was a highly imprfiper remark to make, but
he was so goaded by his wife's sneers
that he was not disposed to stick at such
a trifle as filial respect. It need scarcely
be said that at once Matilda Jane's flood
gates were opened, a copious shower of
tears burst forth, but amid her sobs sbe
managed to utter such phrases as " Was
it tor this I married you? Do yo'u think
my mother was an old servant-woman?
my mother, who comes from one of the
nrst Scotch families, althougli sue cannot
now beast of ancestral estates," etc.
Ilarrv was exceedingly fond of his
wife, despite her aggravating temper, and
knew that she worked hard to insure the
comfort and preserve the respectability of
his home. lie could not bear to see her
cry; so, impatiently flinging his cigar
into the fire, he approached ana attempt
ed to throw oil upon the troubled weters.
" Well, Matilda Jane, perhaps 1 U'.a go
a little too far. 1 didn't mean to hurt
your feelings."
" Oh, you treat me cruelly," exciaimea
the sobbing lady; " you try my love too
much, indeed you do. But since you re
tract, and are Borry for what you've done,
why, I forgive you."
.Matilda jane driea her eyes il was
wonderful what control she had over
those water spouts and in a brief space
she brought her work to the nre end
began stitching away at baby's first pina
fore as thoujrh nothing had occurred to
disturb the matrimonial harmony. Harry
once more took up his novel, and was get
ting deeply interested in a love scene,
when nis wile, noticing that nis temper
was restored again, returned to the charge.
" Harry, dear," she said, " I don't wish
to be troublesome; but, remember, we
have not yet settled about the christen
ing." Her husband tranquilly observed
that although he was then in a most crit
ical portion of the novel he was quite
willing to talk about what was so near to
his Matilda Jane's heart; to which his
spouse answered: "That's a dear, good
fellow; my Harry's himself again." ine
artful Mrs. II. had an idea that by a
further exhibition of temper she might
make her husband obstinate; the end she
had in view was more likely to be attained
by a show of conciliation and witely obe
dience. She resumed: " Of course if you
would prefer Uncle Job to Uncle Aris
tides. why, we'll send the invitation to
Uncle Job at once; only you won't be
angry, will you, Harry, it 1 tell you why 1
i i . 1 - . T i 4 m
wouiu rauier nave tucji; .risiiucsr
Promise you won't, now, dear!" That in
sinuating woman, as though swayed by
an uncontrollable impulse of affection,
suddenly thrust baby's pinafore aside,
and, pulling her gaunt figure up to its fuli
heijrht, clapped her husband's head be
tween her two hands and gave him a
sounding kiss. What loving husband
could do less than smile benignantly,
draw a stool to his side and invite the
partner of his life to sit thereon? Thus
comfortably posed. Matilda and her hus
band debated whether Uncle Job or Uncle
Aristides was to carry the day.
" Now, Harry," resumed Mrs. Highfly,
44 we can't blind ourselves to the fact I hat
there's a vast difference in the social po
sition of our uncles. Aristides Brownjohn
is a thriving tradesman, and he has no
one to leave his money to but ourselves;
we know he's taken a great fancy to our
boy and expects to be asked. It he isn t.
perhaps he'll take offense, and leave all
his property to an hospital or something.
Do vou see that. Harry?"
Her husband nodded his head. So far,
Matilda's way of putting the matter was
certainly sensible, and displayed a proper
consideration for the future prosperity of
their offspring.
"Now let's look at the other 6ide.
Uncle Job dear old fellow as he is!"
Harry was somewhat surprised to hear his
wife speak of his sole relative in these
affectionate terms) "is little else but a
waif and stray. Everybody knows it's
not his fault, but whatever he touches he's
sure to make a mess of. Now, isn't it so?"
To this obvious truth Harry again was
compelled to nod his head.
" We are sorry to disappoint Uncle Job,
but neither you nor I would like the taint
of misfortune to attach to our boy.
Uncle Job would give him something if
he could, but then he can't ; whereas Uncle
Aristides is sure to brinr him a fork and
a spoon, or a silver mug" at the least. We
can't ask both, because Mr. Brownjohn
has never met Mr. Smith, and they might
be jealous of each other, which would
never do. Now, Harry, how is it to be?"
After such a specious argument as this,
what could the pliant husband say ? Let
us put ourselves in his place. We don't
like that blustering, loud-voiced, boastful
and opinionated old humbug, Brownjohn ;
but, then, he's prosperous, and hasn't a
relative but ourselves. On the other hand,
we do like that good-natured, modest and
simple-hearted old angel, Job Smith, and
we know how proud he'd be to stand
sponsor to the infant; but, then, he's as
poor as a church-mouse, and people say
he is rapidly drifting for the fourth time
toward that fatal maelstrom, the bank
ruptcy court. As that far-seeing Matilda
Jane sajrs, we must not allow our own de
sires to interfere with the interests of our
offspring.
Of course Matilda Jane knew how it
would be; she bad in solemn and secret
conclave with her mother settled it a fort
night ago, and the conversation with
Harry was merely a sort of compromise
with her conscience, for never should it
be said of that young matron that she had
broken the vow made to 44 love, honor and
obey." The only thing.now to be decided
on was the day and name. Tuesday
would suit everybody nicely. What did
Matilda's husband say to Harry (out of
compliment to himself), Aristides (in
honor of the Borough tradesman), Horatio
(as a sort of sop in the pan of old Foozle,
who bore that name), Ajax (classical and
distingue, my dear), and Brownjohn (must
have a family name)? What could be
more mellifluous than 44 Harry Aristides
Horatio Ajax Brownjohn Highfly?"
Nothing; at least so Matilda said. Hav
ing yielded so much it was not worth
whilemaking further resistance; so Harry
allowed that Philistine of a wife to shear
his locks and bind him with cords until
he was positively helpless.
44 Now everything is settled," said the
jubilant Mrs. Highfly, "suppose we write
to Lncle Aristides and acquaint mm with
the result?"
44 Out of courtesy, we ought also to
write to Uncle Job."
44 Oh, certainly, my dear," responded
Mrs. Highfly. " Will you write both let
ters?" " Well, Matilda Jane, I think you might
drop a line to Uncle Job; it would come
from you with a rather better grace than
from me; that is to say, dear, a letter from
you would be a species of 6alve for his
disappointment" The truth was, Harry,
after half inviting his relative to stand
godfather, when he met him a few days
before at a luncheon bar in the city, was
ashamed to back out of the matter; hut he
knew if Job Smith got a note from Ma
tilda Jane he would pretty accurately
guess the reason why his aid at the chris
tening was dispensed with.
Mrs. Highfly immediately brought forth
her writing materials, and the reconciled
couple proceeded with their epistles. This
is what Matilda Jane wrote to Uncle Job:
Dear Cncte Yon know well how pleaded we
honld have been for you to be one of the god
fathers to oar darling treasure, but. unfortunately,
Harry has a friend whom it would be very impolitic
to offend, and. tinder there circumstances, I am
sore you will excuse our not asking you next
Tuesday. Best love, etc Yours, very affection
ately, M. J. U io a FLY.
This is how Harry addressed his pros
perous relative in the Borough :
Dear Old Vncxx Eicue this familiarity, but
we want you to act in an official capacity at the
christening on Tuesday next. Don't trouble to
answer this, because we are determined to enlist
your sympathies on behalf of our boy in a practical
manner. Tilly joins in love, and I am, yours ever,
Uakbt IliGHrxT.
Scarcely had these important communi
cations been penned than a loud knock
was heard at the front door ; hastily gath
ering up the letters into a couple ot
envelopes Mx. Highfly placed them in
his pocket, ready to post the next morn
ing; while his wife proceeded to the stair
head to ascertain who were their visitors.
It proved to be only 3Ir. and Mrs. Foozle,
who had called to have a quiet chat; and
in their pleasant company we, for that
evening, drop the curtain upon Harry and
his wife.
At last came the eventful day. Won-
dfous preparations for the great occasion
had been made by Mrs. Highfly (who was
really an excellent housewife), and the
result was that Mr. and Mrs. Foozle saw
awaiting them, when the ceremony should
be over, a repast in every way enticing.
Harry was indeed proud of the manage
rial capabilities of his wife, as he gazed
from end to end of the well-filled table,
and could not refrain from enlarging
upon her merits to Foo-le as they stood
together before the mantel-piece waiting
the arrival of the other sponsor.
Mrs. Highfly was too nervous yet to
make her appearance ; she was very busy
up-staire preparing baby lor church; that
young imp. with his face as red as a
fresh-boiled lobster, exhibiting the great
est disinclination to be dressed in a be
coming manner, and loudly proclaiming
the fact by a continued series of the most
discordant yells. The anxious mamma
and nurse shut the 'door, bnt still the
voice of Harry's offspring predominated
over everything else, and caused the two
gentlemen below to cease tneir aeoate
upon the probabilities of a rise or fall in
the bank rate of discount, and the pros
pects of the new Pawangalo loan, until a
more fitting opportunity.
44 Ah, sir," remarked Foozle, helping
himself to a third glass of port, 44 it's a
grand thing to be a father; magmncent
feeling, sir ; gives a man such a sense of
responsibility ! Throughout an experi
ence of many years I never knew a good
father who was not a good man." Harry,
glancing at his watch, looked from the
window, but failed to see Aristides Brown
john approaching, and was, with in
creased mental perturDation, preparing
himself for a renewal ot his neighbors
prosy argument, when Matilda Jane,
blushing wi'-h maternal pride, and ac
companied by her mamma and baby,
entered the apartment.
44 What!" exclaimed Mrs. Highfly, " has
Uncle Aristides not arrived? I do hope
nothing has happened to the dear soul. If
he don't come in a few minutes, you shall
walk up to the station, Harry, and ask if
any accident has occurred on the line."
Her husband not seeming quite to enter
into her views the nearest railway sta
tic n being quite a mile from their abode
Mrs. Highfly impatiently turned toward
her visitors, and proceeded to extol the
virtues of the missing one. Suffering
from his spouse's loquacity, and the anx
iety he experienced lest old Foozle, by
reason of his fondness for port, should
have to remain at home and be put to
bed, it was with no small degree of satis
faction that Harry heard the sound of rat
tat. The assembled company are eagerly
listening for the approach of footsteps,
and when the door opens expect to see
the mejestic form of the great Aristides.
There enters instead the maid-servant ; she
whispers to Harry, who, in turn, murmurs
to his agitated wife: 44 I'm afraid, dear,
there is some mistake ;" and both leave the
room.
In as brief a space as it takes to read
this line they were in the passage. Be
fore them, attired in a suit of seedy but
well-brushed black, and with hi9 hand
gently smoothing a suspiciously shiny
hat. stood the discarded Job Smith.
44 Well, Harry," said the new-comer, per
ceivin e their confusion, 44 what's the mean
ing of all this? Is the christening
over ?'
"Did didn't you receive Matilda's
letter?" gasped Harry.
" 1 got one from you, and here it is."
Before the eyes of the bewildered Highfly
there fluttered the epistle which had been
intended for old Brownjohn! In the
hurry occasioned by the arrival of visitors
on the evening when the letters had been
written they bad got into the wrong en
velopes, and the wealthy uncle had doubt
less received the missive that had been
meant for the despised Job !
Cold drops stood upon the foreheads of
both husband and wife as they saw the
mistake that had been made; their
tongaes seemed locked within their teeth;
their limbs appeared deprived of motion,
and thus they stood, to the wonderment
of unsuspecting Uncle Smith.
44 Why don't one of you speak? What's
happened? Isn't there a baby? Or are
you so delighted to see me that you've
each gone stark, staring mad? Are you
" What further interrogatory the
amazed Job would have put will never
be known, inasmuch as at that moment
the street door immediately behind him
was heavily smitten by means of the
knocker. The person who, without a
word of inquiry, strode into the passage
and stood twixt the Highflvs and Job
created as much surprise to Harry's rela
tive as he had occasioned but a few min
utes previously.
"Oh, Uncle Brownjohn!" exclaimed
Matilda Jane, suddenly recovering her
speech and rushing into his arms, 44 I'm
so glad you've come. Now all can be
explained."
Brownjohn firmly withdrew from his
niece's embrace, and, , gazing sternly at
her, said in a tone evidently meant to pen
etrate from the cellar to the attic of the
semi-detached villa: 44 Yes, if you please.
An explanation, by all means. First of
all, how is it that you, Matilda, and your
mother, made me promise to stand god
father ; and that, after getting up the de
tails of the important ceremony to say
nothing of preparing a long speech for
the luncheon I'm told I'm not wanted?"
Alas! it was all over. Henceforth the
Brownjohn property was to be diverted
from the Highfly s and their successors;
by an unlucky accident their future hopes
were blighted. The disappointed par
ents saw all this staring them in the face
as plainly as though old Brownjohn had
wiitten it upon the wall of the passage in
which he stood. Ere Matilda had con
cluded a blundering attempt at an excuse,
the loud-voiced Brownjohn roared:
"Madam! no more; I shake your dust
from oil my feet. Expect nothing from me."
During this conversation Job had been
attentively examining Matilda's uncle
gazing at him from top to toe, and eye
ing him from right to left. At the mo
ment when the great Aristides was about
to depart Job was, with his hands upon
his knees, intent upon a minute observa
tion of the burly oil-man's boots.
Brownjohn looked down and Job
looked up the result being that their
eyes met when Harry and Matilda saw
the sturdy Brownjohn turn pale and the
hitherto submissive Job adopt a defiant
air, as he said :
44 Oh, Mr. Bob Steppit, I've found you
at last, have I !"
Couid it be possible? Brownjohn, the
properous tradesman of the Borough, was
no other than the man who many years
ago had so disgracefully defrauded that
good-hearted, trusting Job !
The doubt which dwelt in the mind of
the Highflys was but momentary. Who
could resist the evidence afforded by the
sudden change in Brownjohn's face, the
air of abject submission with which he
begged Uncle Job to speak in a more sub
dued tone, and, finally, the promise he
gave that he would make restitution?
" Come into this room, where we cannot
be heard," said the discomfited braggart,
leading the way to the back parlor. 44 You
also, Harry and Matilda."
They complied, and then Uncle Aris
tides explained, that having quarreled
with some of his relatives they were un
aware of his being in business at Bristol;
they imagined he had departed for Aus
tralia; but it was not until two years after
he had bidden them farewell that he left
England. The adoption of the name
Steppit precluded discovery. Of course
he had heard Harry speak of his Uncle
Smith ; but never having met the latter
when visiting the Ealing Villa he little
thought it was the same man he had so
injured. He confessed his misdeeds, and
begged Job's forgiveness; he felt the only
recompense in his power was to offer him
half his thriving business. But Job had
had enough of partnerships, especially m
connection with Brownjohn; so, ultimate
ly, a compromise was th.us effected:
Old Brownjohn (who in his penitence
shone with far greater luster than he ever
had done in his life before) gave a solemn
promise that he would at once proceed to
his solicitor and make a will entirely in
favor of Harry and Matilda. As for the
christening well, recent events had some
what upset him; so, if Uncle Job would
not mind taking his place, Ue should be
obliged.
Matilda looked appealingly at Job and
hoped her dear uncle (it was wonderful
how suddenly he had risen in her estima
tion!) would pardon the neglect with
which she Lad hitherto treated him. She
was about to make a lengthy appeal ; but
he stopped her with a kiss; and giving
Harry a hearty shake of the hand in
quired whether the clergyman would not
be impatiently awaiting them.
Five minutes after the crestfallen and
repentant Brownjohn had departed the
rest of the party were on their way to the
church. That artful Mrs. Highfly took
occasion, while proceeding thither, to
ask Uncle Job whether he would like the
child called by any special name; she
choose to forget that she had settled the
matter a week before. But that unof
tended creature shook his head, and said
he thought simple names were the best;
so, at the last moment, it was decided to
have the infant called "Harry," and
nothing else.
At luncheon old Brownjohn was not
missed, for Uncle Job was in such high
spirits, was so rich in humorous anec
dote, and, finally, uttered such a pretty,
modest speech when he proposed the
health of the infant, that the whole affair
passed off in the most agreeable manner.
To Harry's delight, Job Smith is now
a constant visitor, and he always receives
a genial welcome from Matilda. The
great Aristides does not come very often,
and displays to them none of that bom
bast which was In lormer times nis cnar-
acteristic. Chambers' Journal.
USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.
Boii-s. The frequent recurrence of
boils is, of course, to any person a great
annoyance, especially when they are at
tended with fever or any considerable
constitutional disturbance. Those subject
to them should avoid eating very salt, fat,
or greasy food, and occasionally take a
dose of Epsom salts, or any cooling laxa
tive, iriaxseed makes a good poultice;
or, if the boil is not very large, brown
sugar and common yellow soap will be
found efficacious in drawing it to a head.
If the lancet be resorted to, the blood and
exudation should be carefully pressed out,
and the flaxseed poulticing resumed.
When the core is removed, the abscess
may be washed with a little brandy and
water just strong enough to stimulate
the healing process by a little smarting
N. Y. Weekly.
The correct management of the nails is
to cut them of an oval shape, correspond
ing with the shape of the lingers. Never
allow them to grow too long, as it makes
it difficult to keep them clean; nor too
short, as it causes the tips of the fingers
to become flattened and enlarged, and
turn upward, which eives the hand an
awkward appearance. The skin which
grows in a semicircle on the top of the
nail requires much attention, as it is often
drawn on with its growth, dragging the
skin below the nail so tight as to cause it
to divide into what are termed agnails.
This is to be prevented by separating the
skin from the nail by a blunt, half-circular
instrument. Many persons cut this pelli-
cile, or thin skin, which causes it to grow
very thin and uneven, and sometimes
damages the growth ot the nail. Jx-

To render posts or timber, placed in
the ground, practically impervious to
moisture, and lor a long time prevent de
cay, the following simple recipe has been
tried and found to answer the purpose
excellently. For fence and gate posts it
is particularly recommended: Take lin
seed oil, boil it, and mix it with charcoal
dust until the mixture has the consis
tency of an ordinary paint. Give to the
posts a single coat of the mixture or paint
before planting them, and no farmer, says
one who has used it, living to the age of
the patriarchs of old, will live long
enough to see the same posts rotten. The
posts or timber should be well seasoned
and dry when the paint is applied.

LlXIMENT FOR SFRAIXS AND BRTJISES.
An excellent liniment, which will prove
equally beneficial for use in the family
and in the stable, is prepared as follows:
Alcohol, 95 per cent, one quart; fluid ex
tract of arnica, four fluid ounces; cam
phor, two fluid ounces; strong aqua am
monia, one fluid ounce; tincture of opium,
one fluid ounce; water, one quart. Add
to the alcohol the arnica, camphor, am
monia and tincture of opium, and after
the camphor is dissolved the water may
be added. This liniment may be applied
for the relief of sprains, bruises, rheu
matic and neuralgic pains, etc., with de
cided advantage. For use in the cow and
horse stables it will be found most -efficient.
Excliange.
Rice Croquettes. naif a cup of rice,
one pint of milk, two tablespoonfuls sugar,
three eggs, a little grated lemon peel, one
tablespoontul melted butter, a saltspoon
ful salt. Soak the rice three hours in
warm water, enough to cover it Drain
almost dry and pour in the milk. Stew
in a farina-kettle, or one saucepan set in
another of hot water, until the rice is
very tender. Add the sugar, butter and
salt, and simmer ten minutes. Whisk
the eggs to a froth, and add cautiously,
taking the saucepan from the fire while
you whip them into the mixture. Return
to the range or stove, and stir while they
thicken, not allowing them to boil. Re
move the saucepan and add the grated
lemon peel; then turn out upon a well
greased dish to cool. When cold and
stiff, flour your hands and roll into oval
or pear-shaped balls; dip in beaten egg,
then in fine cracker crumbs, and fry in
nice lard.
Glue Meltixg. Break the glue into
small pieces and soak from twelve to
twenty-four hours in cold water; put the
glue in the glue pot, fill the outer vessel
with water and apply heat. For ordinary
purposes it should run freely, and be of
the consistency of thin treacle. The hot
ter glue is the more force it will exert in
keeping the two parts glued together ; in
all large and long joints the glue should
be applied immediately after boiling.
Glue loses much of its strength by being
often melted; that glue, therefore, which
Is newly made is much preferable to that
which has been used. When done with
add some of the boiling water from the
outer vessel to the glue, so as to make it
too thin for use. Put it away till wanted
again, and by the time the water in the
outer vessel is boiled the glue in the inner
is ready melted and the proper thickness
for use. Powdered chalk, brick dust or
sawdust added to glue will make it
hold with more than ordinary firmness.

Kino Alcohol. How many a manly
form is palsied; how many a noble mind
is destroved ; how many a priceless soul
lost through the curse of strong drink!
To the despairing victims of the Satanic
tyrant, Alcohol, whose shattered nerves,
and trembling limDs, and racking head
aches seem to find no relief except in the
renewed use of the fatal poison which
brings them every day nearer to their
miserable end, we announce glad tidinps
of great joy ! Dr. Walker's Vinegar
Bitters contain not a single drop of Al
cohol in any form, but are a sovereign
remedy for the ills of drunkenness. They
restore tone and strength to the system,
and entirely eradicate the pernicious ap

Vinegar Bitters and you will never
crave strong spirits again, but find your
health repaired, your mind restored, and

Medical Value of Asparagus and Celery.
A medical correspondent of an English
journal says that the advantages of aspar
agus are not sufficiently appreciated by
those who sufler with rheumatism and
gout. Slight cases of rheumatism are
cured in a few days by feeding on this
delicious esculent; and more chronic
cases are much relieved, especially if the
patient pvoids all acids, whether in food
or beverage. The Jerusalem artichoke
has also a similar effect in relieving
rheumatism. The heads may be eaten in
the usual way ; but tea made from the
leaves of the stalk, and drank three or
lour times a day, is a certain remedy,
though not equally agreeable.
So the English paper says. It may be
well to remark that most plants which
grow naturally near the sea coast contain
more or less iodine, and in all rheumatic
complaints iodine has long been a favor
ite remedy. One who was long in the
drug business told the writer some years
ago that many of the popular patent nos
trums which some disinterested people,
"solely for the good of their fellow
creatures," sold at 4 two dollars a bottle"
consisted simply of a few cents' worth of
iodine in solution.
It is dangerous, however, in over doses,
aflecting especially the eyes. The same
effect may be produced by eating abun
dantly of asparagus or celery, which are
well-known seaside plants. If these have
no effect, the patent specifics will not, and
in that case a conscientious and intelligent
physician is the best resort. Forney's

throw off the unhealthy matter causing the irritation.
In cases of stated consumption it both prolongs and

preparation, made chielly from tlio na
tive herbs found on the. lower rank's of

nia, the medicinal properties of which
aro extracted therefrom without the uso
of Alcohol. Tho question 13 almost
daily asked, "What is tho cause, of tho
unparalleled 6uceess of Vinegar 15rr
TEiisT'' Our answer is, that they rcinovo
tho causo of disease, and tho pat ient re
covers his heaK'i. They aro tho jjreat
blood purifier ano a life-giving principle,
a perfect Innovator and Invigorator
of tho pystem. Never before in the
history of the world litw a medk ino boon
compounded ponscs-sinp tho rcniarkalila
qualities of Vinkoau I'.itters in healinir lha

their vast tributaries, throughout our
entiro country during the Summer and
Autumn, and reniaikably so during sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensive de
rangements of tho stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence uixm these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for tho purpose equal t
Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Hitter
as they vrill speedily rcinovo the dark
colored viscid matter with which th,
bowels are loaded, at the fame Unit
stimulating tho secretions cf tho liver,
and generally restoring tho healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against diseaso

ehown their great curative powers iu thu
most obstinate and ic true table cases.

lurking in the system of bo many thousands,
are effectually destroyed and removed. So

the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or .Sores f
cleanse it when you findit obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is
foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keer,
the blood pure, and the health of the steji
will follow.
