Maid gossips srs very

numerous, aad are worst than female. Their spheres are different. Women goasip chiefly about domestic life, love, marriage, flirtation, servants, entertainments — and a world of mischief they do there; of heart-burning*, heart-sinking*, and heart-breakiagt ; of broken lies and alienated affections. Bat mm gossip 'ton. Authors, professors, commercial men— oh, what keen, biting, ^thering gossip they have I — half untrac, wholly ; nredltMt. Literary gossip [ political j gossip!

This disease is not contsgioas, sod 1 consequently no alarm should be frit oa j that account, hike Beavlrt Fever anil j Erysipelas, it prevails in cold, doiap J i weather The beat mode of preventing ' i it is, To avoid undue exposure to cold, 1 to go warmly clad, and to evohl sodden ' ; checks tu prr-piratiOD ; regular habits! 1 of life should not bo suddenly changed... i Fear and anxiety should be dismissed ! , from tbo utud, aa these impulses uro | I powerful predisposing causes to this, as many other diseases. As the disease i sometimes slluiks w<th great violence, j tbe treatment should bo prompt nod en- • orgetic. A good, roiiobie physician , i sbouid be early called in, and bis three- , lions promptly followed. Uudcr euerj getio aud prudent treatment, tbo disease i | has been found, In many cases, quite | manegcable. P0LK8 VBISF8 FRiTKCR. We beard, s oighl or two since, a lol- ■ - trebly good story of a couplu of rafts ■ men. The event occurred during a big f blow ot> the Mississippi, at which lime , : | so many rafts were swamped, sad so ) many steaa, boats lost tbeir aky rigging. f ) i A raft was jest emrrging from Lelw r Fcpia as the f'q'uoll caflfe lu an instant 1 i the raft was pitebiug snd writhing as if i -. suddenly dropped ioto Charybdis, while , 1 the waves broke over it vfith tremen- - r dons uproar, and, expecting instant '

destruction, one of (he raftsmen dropped ' 1 i oo bis knees and commenced praying : ' i with a rim tqnal to the emergency. ' Happening to open hU eyes for an in- > steal, lis observed bis companion, not , engaging in prayer, but poshing n^>olc .
