analogy between leprous and syphilitic sore throats and skin diseases, he instanced as being particularly striking and complete.

Rheumatism and Sore Eyes.

For chronic rheumatism in the joints, which are enlarged and drawn out of shape, there is nothing better than the following ointment: Flower of sulphur, one-half ounce; gum kino, one-half ounce; borax, one ounce; oil of amber, two ounces; turpentine pitch, one ounce; camphor gum, four ounces; mutton tallow, eight ounces. Melt and amalgamate over a slow fire, stirring the mixture steadily while dissolving; use it when perfectly cold, by rubbing it into the joints with all your strength and with all your Will. Always use your own hand, or get a friend to act for you. A piece of brown paper saturated with this ointment, and laid on your eyes at night, will do something toward giving them aid and comfort. Cheerfulness, and a mind of peace in the midst of discord, are important remedies for you.

Remedy for Tobacco Tremens.

A correspondent says that "it makes him almost crazy to leave off the use of tobacco. He longs to be free from the habit, but fears he cannot find himself strong enough to accomplish it."

We counsel all who find the habit so fixed, that to break it disables them for labor or business, to give up all attention to any occupation until the trembling nerves become steady. It is a kind of sickness, and the tobacco-chewer, in order to break up the narcotic habit, must lay up a few days, like any other sick person. Meantime, while the appetite is strong-perhaps ravenous and fickle-the WILL must forbid hearty eating. Let a man say: "I will it," and his Will shall draw heavenly aid.

Boils Cured by Creosote.

Dr. Lynch (in the Eclectic Medical Journal,) in treating boils as a kindred disease to erysipelas, says: "In all cases, creosote is an effectual local remedy. It produces a blister, over which forms an eschar, or scab, when the sore readily heals. And I have never known a single failure, where the remedy has been applied prior to the formation of a core,' or the death of a portion of the areolar tissue. I have broken up whole crops of boils with this agent, without any other treatment. How it acts, or its modus operandi in these cases, let pathologists determine. But when the tumor has come to a head,' as a certain stage of its development, in common parlance, is termed, creosote will afford no service; and then suppuration should be favored by emollient applications, as poultices, fomentations, &c., till the core' is disengaged, when the ulcer rapidly heals under simple dressing."

Sympathetic Sore Eyes and Catarrh.

Your sore eyes may arise from sympathetic connection with a periodic disturbance in the head and nose. Your disease is, perhaps, one of the mucous membrane, commencing in your stomach, and terminating in catarrh and sore eyes. REMEDY.Mix two ounces of sweet oil with half an ounce of camphor, over the fire. Rub this ointment into the skin of your stomach, in the cheeks, on the eyes, and very thoroughly manipulate it into your temples, and where the nose is most afflicted. Snuff sweet oil into your nose two or three times per day. Arise! Let blood flow into your feet and hands. Become very healthy, and, therefore, beautiful. Will it strongly. If the eyes are badly inflamed, and the eyelids very much thickened, then apply at night a poultice of rye flour mixed with the white of an egg. Always spread poultices for the eyes on linen cloths

Figs as a Cure for Cancer.

Mr. Thomas Puderton, an English gentleman, gives the following recipe for cancer, which he says has been of great service in several dangerous cases: Boil fine Turkey figs in new milk, which they will thicken; when they are tender, split and apply them, as warm as can be borne, to the part affected, whether broken or not. The part must then be washed, every time the poultice is changed, with some of the milk. Use a fresh poultice night and morning, and at least once during the day, and drink a quarter of a pint of the milk the figs are boiled in, twice in the twenty-four hours. If the stomach will bear it, this must be persevered in three or four months at least.

The efficacy of figs, in hastening the absorption of inflammatory particles in a cancerous sore, is indisputable.

FEw readers permit themselves to live an hour in profitable conscientious meditation. No soul knows what Life is without occasionally coming into nearest rapport with all its holy essences and normal manifestations. We know that this heated with a boundless nerve-fire! and scorches almost every living soul. think calmly and act deliberately, cannot; they are disturbed every moment by the storm-beat of discordant circumstances. The elements are all astir. Therefore few persons stop to consider profoundly anything. The deeper your thought, the less likely is it to reach the multitude, for whom you think. Yet we would utter a brief word concerning the totality of the high powers of mind called "WISDOM."

It is the office of Wisdom to listen reverently to the sub lime teachings of eternal principles. Wisdom sits on the glorious throne of all natural laws-presides over the innumerable manifestations of all constructive attributes-and is superior, both in position and power, to all the qualities and essences which fill the universe with moving organized bodies. Wisdom, therefore, is unconscious of either pride or prejudice. It contemplates and comprehends the teeming congregations of truths, which are perfectly aisplayed and infinitely expanded in every direction; and yet not for one moment does it (Wisdom) become self-conscious of its constitutional supremacy even to the truth

itself. Therefore, the sublime simplicity of Wisdom is inexpressible-its order and form, its light and life, its grace and elegance, its uniform majesty, its constructive attributes, surpass the descriptive power of human language. Therefore let no earthly mind wonder that, even in the celestial realms of angel-existence, where exterior forms are known to their inmost centers, the revelations of Wisdom are pregnant with elementary simplicities, and with aphorisms congenial only to the intuitions of "the pure in heart."

Wisdom wants and seeks the Truth-independently and unconsciously of foregone conclusions. It is, consequently, a stranger to prejudice-is equally unmindful of prudential restraints-takes no knowledge of personal or private considerations-but, attracted alone by the heavenly breathings of the Divine and Eternal, Wisdom opens its myriad hearts to the influx of light from all points of the infinite radius, and meditates and legislates, unconscious of its sublime capacities and immortal powers, like a child of the Most High playing with the valley flowers, by the silently-flowing streams of the expanded earth, beneath the unfolded heavens.

But the office and characteristics of man's intellectual faculties are conspicuously different; for they are far more external than wisdom. If we gather together all the thinking faculties in man's nature, and systematically assemble all his judgmatic organs into one self-conscious congregation of thoughtful powers, it would then be most appropriate to class such an aggregation or congress of thinking faculties under one comprehensive termKNOWLEDGE." This name will express both the powers of acquiring information, and the acquisition also.

Under the term Knowledge we comprehend or include all such familiar names as "understanding," "reasoning faculties," "power of judgment," "intellectual organs," &c. It has
