It ie quite nu- (tnrstowl bete, except perhaps to a few of the most iguoraut, that the niedicel advice and nursiug of a hospital are out of all measure superior to auytliiug of the kiwi attaivable at home by per- euus of narrow or only moderate moans. Almost ally person struok dewu by sucldeu accident would rather be carried to a lhoenpital than take i tu his bouse, to the terror of his faint- I ly e-aud the disorgauizatiou of his !ho'{lne. Among the French, or at leaast. those of the humbler class, there ex. :fats au extraordinary urejudie against as hospital, due partly to a rooted ob- jection to receiving, aucl partly to the. grim traditiou of the earliest of hospit- als, the lazarhOUaes or •laacl-ueries, the enolu:.urea outside the city walls, !iu which the uuhappy lepers, supposed to be under the bau of the Alnaighty,were confined.

ALWAYS I>';ELIA131)E WHEN TAIK- ii�'rT11i OTHER WAY. An English paper tells a pleasant anecdote of Partridge, the celebrated !alumnae looker abeat oue hundred years since. In travelling on horse- back into the oouutry, he stopped for Ilia diuuer et an iuu, and afterwards called for his Morse, that he might reach the uext town wh3re the intended' to sleep, "If you take my advice, sir," said. the hustler, as he was about to mount his ham, "you will stay where you are ,for the night, as you will surely be: uvortakeu by a pelting rain." "Nuuseuse, nonsense," said the atl- mauao maker ; "There's a sixpeuee for you, my limiest fellow, aud good after- noon to you." lie proceeded on his journey, and sure enough, was well drenched in a heavy shover. Partridge was strucle by the man's prediction, and being al- ways intent ou the interest of his al uaatuao, he rode back on [he instant, gaud was received by the hostler with a broad grin. "Veil sir, you Doe I was right, after all." "los, my lad, you have been so, and here's a clown for you ; but I give it to: you on .condition you tell me how you knew of this raid." "To be sure, sir," replied the man "Why the tiuth is, we have au al.ne- naac at our house called "Partridge's Almanac," and the fellow is such a no- tolius liar, that when he promises us a fiue day we always know that it will be the, direct contrary.

THE LITTLE TRAVELLER. .Maggie Wood's father was an Eng - who mane to Aauerlca to try to find This fortune, but he did not find Pe; fur when Maggie was three ruouthr old, the great Chicago fire destroyed their home ; suou after the tuothes died ; then the father was drowned, and Maggie was left all alone in a trans cvtlntry. T She had a good aunt is England, however, who took plains to discover the child wafter the death of the pareuts, and sent for her to come home and be cared for. It was no easy matter to ..get a five-year old nhild across the At- lantic, for the aunt could not come to take her over, and no ono sellout she knew was going over. But Maggie had found friends in Chicago ; the Amerioau Consul at Manchester was iutere ted iu the mete, and everyone was glad to help the forlorn 'baby, who was too young to uudrretaud the pa- thos of her story. After hatters had gong to and fro, it was decided to send the child to Eug- lau(1 iu charge of the captaiu of a eteaaner, trusting to the kiuduess of all fellow tr'avellure to help her ou her %Ya\'. The Chicago frieude bestirred them selves to get her ready, and carefully chose a coinfoltabie oa.1it f:tr the cold March voyrage. When all was ready, Itla,ggie's shall effects were packed in a light basket, so lbaat she could carry it herself if need A carol briefly telling the story was fastened on the corner, and a sunilar paper, recolnmendiug her to the male of all kited people, was sewed on the boson, of her frock. Their, notdu the least realizing what lay before her, the child was eousigued to the conductor of the traits to be forwarded to pereens inN''ow Yurk who would pee her safely on board the steamer.. I should dearly like to have seed the jlithe maid and the big basket eas they set out ou that long trip as tranqnilly as fur a day's visit;, and itis a .30111 - fort to know that before the train started the persons who took her there had interested u motherly lady in the young traveller, who /remised to wetob over her % Idle their ways were the same. All went well weld Maggie was safely delivered to the New York friends, who forwarded her to the steamer, well sup- plied with toys and comforts for the voyage, and placed in charge of the captain and stewardess. She sailed on the third of hearth, and on the twelfth lauded at Liverpool, after a pleasant trip, dnrive %vitiate she wits the pet of all on board.

The Syracuse N. Y. Journal says :— "The \Vater\ille Times warns people to watch the Cauadian bills that are just uow floatiut around. Those on the broken banks aro quite plenty. The Dorniuiou bills are all right. These are always all right. Whatever comes or goes, uubouudel faith in the natun remains. While Dumiuion bills ale 'demanded at Home in preference to any other, they are abroad deemedEto bo.all .right, because their name .bears the stamp of solidity and good faith. Were all the carreumy cf the country of this kind, we should never be in „fear of pa uie, leadiug to :commercial disaster. No street ooruer rumors could ailed it. No mismanagement on_the part of .aauy 1ltouetary isstitutia., would be .eagle to jeopardize the general credit for a moment. Alt would be :fixed on a stable babis—the bills would be found all light when called for. They would net be subject to any !ten per cent. shave, or liable to take a tumble of fifty per cent. just.because .some individue/ rniedealiug marine to be exposed, or sone speculative plans sot on foot.. There would be no :fluctuation, because the notes would be based on the public credit, on the faith of the whole coml. try, and that tee know is all right."
