He lived in Scandal Lane!

It is a fearful neighborhood, So secret and so sly Although the tenants aftentim.es

Include the rich and high. I'm told they're even cannibals, And when they dine or sup, By way of change they'll turn about

And eat each other up!

They much prefer the youthful, sir, The beautiful and rare They grind up character and all,

And call it wholesome fare And should the helpless victim wince, They heed not cries or pain These very bloody cannibals,

That live in Scandal Lane?

If vou should chance to dine with them fray never be deceived, "W hen they seem most like bosom friends

They're least to be believed. Their claws are sheathed in velvet, sir. Their teeth are hid by smiles, And woe betide the innocent

Who falls beneath their wiles! "When they have singled out their prey, They make a cat-like spring •Or hug them like a serpent ere

They plant the fatal sting! And then they wash their guilty hands, But don't efface the stain, These very greedy cannibals.

That live in Scandal Lane!

Cronp—Before tlic Doctor Comes There is no disease probably which •causes so great a fright to mothers as the croup of children. Occurring, as it generally does, at that hour of the night when the house is first flushed in sleep, the loud horse cough of the child sends a dismal alarm to the ear of every sleeper, and awakens tlie soundest to a sudden conception of danger. The fright, fortunatety, is general^ much greater than the occasion justifies, for in ninety-nine out of a hundred times the disease is only that comparatively trifling one, the false and not the real croup the foimer being a very frequent, and the latter a rare complaint.

The false croup is distinguished from the true by the suddenness of its invasion and its occurring almost exclusively in the night. In th^ false there is no fever in the real there always is. The false comes and goes with the paroxysm the real is a continuous and increasing severity. The false never lasts over two or three •days, with intervals of perfect health the true never ends before a week, and some times lasts six. The false is seldom if ever fatal, and the true is most commonly so.

While mothers can take courage from the fact tiiat the genuine croup •is so rare an affection that it is probably the false with which they will hare to deal, it will be satisfactory to them if unable to distinguish between the two diseases, to learn that what is proper to be done for one before Alie doctor comes, is proper for the 'Other.

Though the disease of false croup appears more formidable to the ordi«ary observer than It does in reality to the patient, it is however, sufficiently serious, for it occasionally, though rarely, causes death, to call for the •••use of every means of prevention and cure.

The most common cause of the ":affection is a sudden change from heat to cold, and among veiy young infants excessive crying is said to bring on occasionally an attack of •croup. Exposure and great muscular and vocal effort must be carefully avoided. The scanty dresses worn by by children in this county, leaving the busts, arms, and legs bare, greatly predispose to the disease. It is said to be very rare among the Germans, who dress their children more rationally, never exposing their necks and climbs. The daily cold bath properly applied is an excellent fortifier of the youthful constitution and preventive of croup. The water should not be -colder than 55 or GO degrees, Fahrenheit, and the child should be thrust •rapidly into it and taken immediately •out again, well rubbed, and quickty •dressed. It is essentially important that children should have the freest opportunity of breathing the purest air. They should never be allowed to pass their time by day or nigh4 •except in perfectly well-ventilated apartments. The diet should be simple but substantial, consisting of well baked bread, milk, and a due supply of roasted meats.

During a paroxysm, the simplest treatment is all that is necessary. A flannel wrung out of hot water and "wrapped about the neck of the child, lana-affew tea spoonsful of gum sirup made of powdered gumarabic, sugar and water, given from time to time will be all that is necessary for immediate relief. Most people dose their children with ipecacuanha until they vomit. This is rarely necessary, and it is doubtful whether it is ever beneficial.

Great Prize, the Cross of the Legion of and Gold Medal, awarded tO| American Sewing Machines at the Paris Exposition of 1867, over EIGHTY-TWO COMPETITORS, as per Imperial Decree, published in the Moniteur Universel (Official Journal of the French Empire), Tuesday, 2d July, 1867.

The Lock-Stitch invented ly Mr. Howe, and made on this,Machine, is the most popular and durable, is alike on both sides, and will neither RII NOR RAVBL, and all Sewing Machines are subject to the principle invented by him.

A Machine was needed possessing SIMPLICITY and DURABILITY, and adapted to a great range of work one easily understood and comprehended by all. To produce such a Machine has been the study of Ellas Howe Jr., who gave to the world the First Sewing Machine, more than twenty years ago and now we offer his last production, a machine embracing all essential qualities, and pronounced the Best Machine in the "World.

Persons from a distance can order a Machine with perfect confidence of being able to operate it in a few hours successfully, by the aid of the printed instructions that accompany each Machine. Drafts or current fuuds must accompany the order. Machines may be ordered by Express, also to collect on delivery, if the purchaser prefers. We advise shipping by express, as the most convenient and expeditious way.

The demand for this New and Improved Machine Is unprecedented in the history of Sewiug Machines.

In all the principal towns where Agencies are not already established, we desire energetic and responsible parties as Agents. Many nlaces are of sufficient importance to warrant persons in making it their exclusive business.
