Fawilv Magazine. Its choice Literature, its
a
aunerior Music, its larze amount of valuable

information on miscellaneous subjects, its

the fashions, and artistic itinerations, give it a
just claim to its well-earned title, "The Model
Magazine of America." -
VV3iy so IT! any Fail
in
From the New Jersey Mechanic
Failures in business are by the un
fortunate attributed generally to every
case but the true one. We all prove
ourselves the
sons and daughters ofaltuost jncrcdib!e number of seven mil
2ve, by endeavoring t IOus. From three to four pounds ol
"' Adam and .E
attribute, as the cause ol our
m islor-
tunes, some indiscretion of some incau
tious fraud or Wily enemy.
Very gooduefcs of heart and anxiety
to please others, are often,the causes of
embarrassment in trade, aud the final
unfortunate cause of the winding up of
a career auspicious at its opening.
But extravagance in dress and equi-'
page, and keeping up princely estab
ijsfom-ents are the causes of a majority
of American failures. Americans are
seldom miserly. Nearly all of that
class -now among us have been im
portations. The aircicnt Asturs and
Girards were not natives of the United
Elates. Americans love money as well
as the natives of other countries, and
their efforts to accumulate wealth are as
great; but their anxiety to enjoy it, ;
and to uiak as large a display bs possi
ble, forbid that thJy should ever be
come misers. Thty worship wealth, not
for its intrinsic value, and because it
furnishes all the requisite materials to
gTatify the lusts of the flesh, and the
Juits of the eye, and the pride of life."
And when .thus self has to be gratified,
the devotee has launched -upon a stormy
ocean.
13 ut youDg and tinexperiened mer
chants are not willing to admit that
their style of living, dress and equipage
is extravagant. They argue that their
position the nature of their business
and surroundings, demand that they
should keen ud the appearance of
wealth, and the display ot pecuniary
tnoV pendence. They say, we are com
pelled to mingle with merchants en
gaged in the same-line of business with
ourselves We meet with them not only
on 'Change, but io the social, literary,
and business circles : and our families
uro on terms . ol intimacy, ana it is
absolutely necessary for us to live In as
good a house, and to keep up as fine an
establishment, as those with whom we
associate. We would be ostracised and
Jose caste in the community, were we
to fall below their standard of mercan
tile gentility, dress and equipage - Our
establishments and style of living must
be characteristic of our circle. I he
youthful trader has but a vague idea of
i l I f .
the seii-aeniai pracuaeu ior mauy yva
by his senior. The wife and daughters
of his prosperous neighbor over the way
once dressed in calico and did their own
house work. The young man has but a
remote conception of the carelul watch
ing and laborious toiling by which his
;eeniorg ascended the ladder of wealth
and afflusnee.
In a word, to descend to plain mat
ters of fact, young and ambitious men
enter a mercantife career with all the
extravagance of a long-established
nouse. in the vain hope that by show
uuu uispiay tney shall command a
businesfthat not ouo in a thousand ever
realized but by sleepless vigilance, un-
meaBmBmBsamamsm
tiring iudtistry, great energy, strict
ecouomy, and u good capital.
hvcry young man entering the gteat
commercial circle on his own account,
should have before him, in letters of
liht, the fact that in our great Eastern
cities more than ninety per cent. 01
all who engage in trade fail. Some
learn wisdom by what they suffer and
lose, and try, try again, and finally suc
ceed. The fact that so few succeed
should be a lessunno the most sanguine
to move cautionsly. It should influ
ence them not only to be industrious,
but to 'start with the determination to
speud nothing unnecessarily. .
Business always before pleasure,
should be their motto.
" We would urge all to recognize the
claims of the poor, the needy, and the
distressed: but while doing so, always
to bear iu mind that men should not act
from mere impulse, even in striving to
be good. u lie just before you are
generous." Deny self, that you may
have to give to the widow and orphan,
lie humble that you may be exalted,
and reflect how much pleasanter it is to
be always asceudiug the ladder ol
wealth and prosperity, than to be
placed on the highest round and then
to be compelled to come down step by
step painfully, or to be hurled from the
.top without a word of warning.
THEMKIN
How few persons understand the
at
mechanism and physiology of the ex
ternal covering of tbeir own bodies ;
and seldom do we find individuals who
possess the most remote idea of the
important part the- skin plays in the
preservation of health wheo its func
tions are properly performed, or the
alarming consequences the injury of its
offices produces. Each square inch of
surfare throughout the body contain
2,800 pores, aud the' Dumber of square
inches of surface in a man of ordinary
titAtnrn is nprlr !.50O. tiiakinir the
eicrementitious matter makes its exit
through these pores in twenty-four
hours, if they are not agglutinated with
filth, or contracted by sudden exposure
to cold, thus closing the channels
which nature designed for the elimina
tion of. noxious materials, the retention
of which causes diseases of various
kinds, by compelling other organs to
perform an additional amount of labor,
and by acting as a poison,
These facts should furnish sufficient
evidence to every person of the neces
sity of keeping the skin well cleansed,
and of the pernicious results of expos
ing the body to cold currents of air
when in a state of perspiration.
Doubtless, thousands of lives are an
nually sacrificed through ignorance of
the laws which govern the human
organism.
. If this be true, all intelligent persons
most be converted to the belief that
knowledge of the human machine and
its functions are of infinitely more
valued the health and happiness than
the amount of drugs consumed in a
WT mm
year, vvny do not some of our physi
cians do more with the pen and tongue
to prevent disease, and less with dele
terious drugs to remove it, when
brought on through ignorance of the
causes which brought on through ig
norance of the causes which produced
a r a m -
it f VV by anect to despise doctors who
lecture on Anatomy and physiology,
sciences which form the basis of a
sound medical education ? Why use
their influence to disuade persons from
attending lectures, which are essential
to tfce well-being of every man, woman
and child f If a knowledge of these
sciences are essential to them, they are
cot soja all , ,
Parents, let your children learn the
mechanism of the human body, regard
less of those who endeavor to retard the
dissemination of knowledge which per
tains to the promotion of health, or the
prevention of disease. ;
Teach them the function of every
organ in the body, that each one may
know how to operate his own machine,
so that his digestive system will need
no pills oi emetics to keep it in repair,
so that bis liver and lungs will call for
no noxious drugs to aid them 4o per
form their office, so that man may know
more of health and happiness, and less
of physic and pKjsicians; t , f.
To Clean White . Feathers."-'
Draw the feathers gently through a
warm soap lather several times, then
pass them through tepid, and finally
through cold water to rinse them. Then
bold them a short distance from the fire J
and curl the eeparate parts of the
feather as it dries, by, holding a steel
knitting-pin in the hand, and drawing
each portion of the feather, briskly be
t preen the pin and the thumb.
A COLO IN TUB HEAD.
The Views of John Paul Thereon
From Every Saturday J.
If any. mistakes are visible in the
present writing, attribute them to my
having a bad cold. No man alive can
spell correctly or write good grammar
with a bad coldespecially it . it be a
cold in the head. The French waitress,
Bridget O'Keefe, spoke to me about it
this morning, at breakfast tou aves
un rhumi, she said. No one remarked
that my rhume was better than my
company, but I fejt in my heart that
both were bad enough to stand on their
own dem rits. One cannot be cheerful
with a cold in his head ; the human
soul is not disposed to burst forth in
song under such conditions. And the
worst of it is, one gets, no sympathy
from one's friends. You go round with
red, swollen uoee, and swollSn, red
eyes. Hallo, John 1 What's th
matter f" hails the first fellow well
met. u A bad cold," you reply. Oh,
is that all?" with a sigh of relief. The
fact is you feci that you are as much to
be pitied as though you had the small
pox. And he treats your affection as
lightly &s though it were that you had
only lost your mother in law. Then
the remedies that are suggested for you
to try I 'team your head," said my
aunt. So 1 was persuaded to hold my
head over a bowl of blazing hot water,
till it was done through, like an early
potato. I am now regarded as her
'ateeined nephew; and it is thought
that the may leave me something in
her will. As sue never tries her own
remedies, however, an early succession
to the property does not seem probable
Bathing in alt its forms has been
recommended to me; for more than a
week past I have been a night compan
ion of the bath, but it seems to do little
good. ''Stuff a cold" has passed info
a sort of proverb ; but my head at pre
sent is stopped up enough too much
to be made available for any practical
purpose. I've taken sage advice and
sage tea in enormous quantities, but
with no perceptible benefit. Hot Scotch
whisky, with a little hot water and a
slight mingling of lemon peel in it was
urged upon mc by a friend, who kindly
consented to drop in aud help me take
it. I assisted him home at a lato hour
of the night, and his wife demanded at
the door, in an angry tone, what I had
been doing to her husband. That did
not do my cold much good. Since theu
gin and m obs.se s has been suggested as
a sovereign remedy for all the chills
that fleh is heir to ; but I turn an cm
phatic cold shoulder on all which savor
of spirits. My mother writes from the
interior of Maine to say that I had
better come up there and be " nursed."
I think I'll go. There must be about
a bushel of bonesct, to say nothing
about "other herbs, about the house
wisps of nedical weeds, loog stored up
against family emergencies. Since the
children grew up and went away from
home, there has been no ooo to ply
with teas and syrups of traditional vir
tue j but the gathering of the materials
has still gooe on with unfailing regu
larity. In my mind's eye, I see myself
venturing to draw the file of those
accumulated teas No, rather let me
sit in my city chair, lifife a patient on a
monument, smiling at relief.
How did I catch my. cold, yon ask.
Ah, there's the rubthence the scries
of rubs. A party of girls proposed to
me to go aud skate. Before venturing
upon the ice, an aged guardian of that
fubiic place, who stood with a frozen
ook, In a frieze coat, admonished us to
" look out for that 'ere hole." Some
how I contrived to skate into that air
hole. They fished me out with poles.
If you want to know how cold the poles
are, break through the ice once and be
fished out with them. sThey rolled'me
on a barrel to restore me, under the
impression, ; seemingly, that the vital
organ is a barrel organ. They put
bricks to my tcet if women would
always see to it that their idols stand
thus on baked clyt it would be better.
There were few things, indeed, that the
bystanders did not do for me, except
the right thing. One unbuttoned my
shirt collar, to relieve me, he said
another attempted to empty my pockets
; to relieve me, l suppose. A JNew
foundland dog was playing on the bank
wnen i leu in. otrange to say, he did
not rush to my rescue while struggling
In the water, but he went for me imme
diately I got on shore.5 ' It may have
been generous of him to refrain from
attacking me till I got on dry land, but
my laith in the humane instincts of
that nobld animal is sadly shaken.
Had I been a bone, I've no doubt but
that Nero would have reseued me and
brought me to the shore. Well, I am
safe at home again, and will'go no mora
gating myself, and the girls may glide.
True Courage,
He surely was a strong-minded as
well as healthy-nerved man, who dodg
ed the barbarous tortures of the In
dians by a ruse de querre particularly
novel and tcrnffic, to wit : During the
war oh the North-western frontiers, a
Keutuckian and some friends were
taken prisoners by the , Indians and
Canadian French, and one after another
of the prisoners were despatched tnthe
most cruel manner, by maiming," hurnr
ing, and bastinado The Keutuckian
seeing how affairs were going begged a
word with one of the chiefs, and being
able to make himself understood, that
if they spared him, bo would teach
them a secret by which neither bullets,
swords, or knives could inflict wounds
upon them. The Indians paused and
after a consultation they agreed to test
the secret, and if it proved a real thing
they would give the prisoner his free
dom. . : -
The Kentuckian, accompanied by
several Indians, went into the forest
and plucked come green herbs, which he
bruiaed and rubbed over his neck.
"Now," said he, "strike ? Let the
strongest man take the heaviest toma
hawk and strike a blow upon my neck
and see if i effects a wound J"
Placing his bare neck upon a fallen
tree, the Kentuckian preparod for the
blow, and down it came with all the
force of the brawny arm of the Indian.
But, judge of their surprise, when off
fell the brave fellow's head! Death
was inevitable, and the courageous
Kentuckian chose the quickest and cm
painful! This was true, philosophical
courage ! And it took a man, perfect
to exhibit it.
A IiO.so And Successful Stuuo
OLE rutt Fa EE dom St. Crispin never
had a wore ingenwus follower tbau
James A. Hamilton, whose recent
escape from a Pennsylvania prison is
the most marvelous rogue's work on
record-. Hamilton was an old prison
bird, and one of the moat dangerous
convicts in the Lancaster prison. As
signed to a Military "iron clad'' cell, he
was set to work at shoe-making. Some
time ago he complained that his bench
was too low, aud asked fur a couple of
pine planks to put under the legs to
raiMJ it a tew inches, for weeks ne
worked under these boards at night,
cutting a hole through the ilor, aud
in the daytime covering his traek with
the boards. Having cut through the
flooring, he reached svlid masonry, and
worked upon that with such succes?
that, evr iuallv, enough was removed j
to admit the passage of hisbody. Hav
ing cleared the uja?on-wurk ot a space
a foot thick and about three feet broad,
he attacked the solid wall from his nar-
a
row crevice unter the no r. and al
though it was three feet thick, he made
a breach and parsed safely through, and
let himself down two stories by a very
thin but exceedingly strong shoe
thread. Breakiug into the wash house
and carpenter shop, he procured a
change of clothes and lumber to coo-
struct a ladder with which to pass over
the jailyard wall. This ladder was a
model of ingenuity. None of the lum
ber was stout enomgh to make the sides,
so he lathed several slender pieces to
gether with bad-cord, and tied broken
barrel-staves across for rounds. With
this the prisoner found his way to free
dom Erly Sunday morning his flight
was discovered. In this cell full a
cart-load of debris was found carefully
stored under his bed, the slats of which
were cut in half aud bored at regular
distance to make a ladder, which, how
ever, he had been unable to get through
the peculiar shaped hole jj . which he
escaped. . '
: Cube for, Biieumatism.-As so
many are suffering from rheumatism, I
could do. nothing better than give a re
cipe that I know is good. , In the Spring
and bummer o! 1500. my wite was to
' WW . r
afflicted with it that she could not - use
her right arm, and was unable to rise
up in: bed.' - We tried many ; liniments,
recipes and medicines, but to no pur
pose, t Doctors said that nothing could
be doue only to cive it time and let it
wear away. One day an . old German
veterinary surgeon told mo take equal
parts of . the best oil of juniper snd
spirits of turpentine and aiply to the
Part affected. I did so. and in a few
days the rheumatism had entirely dis
appeared, and my wile was well. A
few days later, while at a picnic, she
caucht cold, aod was soon as low as ever,
Again did we , apply everything we
could get, galvanic batteries . and all.
We got the above reeipe filled both the
oil and spirits being as clear ; as water.
and in a few dnys she was again , well,
and has remained so, for ; two years
Always be sure to use the best quality
oil and spirits. owa Ryister,
