Didn’t Know How.

In a toAvn near Boston there lives a good lady who suffers acutely from sciatica. She has consulted physicians far and near, but has been unsuccessful in finding any cure. Not long since she heard that a man living not far away was afflicted with the same disease in an aggravating form, and it occurred, to her that she would call upon him and ask whether he had found anything that Avould avail to lessen its terrors. She did so, and, having introduced herself, stated her errand. “Do you,” she asked, “find anything that affords, you relief ?” “Yes, marm,” he replied. “ Tavo things.” “ Pray what are they?” “ Cursing and swearing,” said the invalid. It is added that on her return home the good lady told her husband that she only regretted that she could not avail herself of this remedy. “ Not that I have any conscientious scruples,” she said, “ but I don’t know how.”
