I have been doctoring myself,' said the languid fair one, with a smile, to the bluff, though kind M. D. while he was feeling her pulse. Why I have taken Morrison's pills, Parr's pills, Cockle's pills, Allen and Bell's pills. Bell's balsam of liquorice, and Powell's cough electuary. I even med Beary's calcined magnesia, Fawcett's nervous pills, and Madam," interrupted the astonished doctor, all these to your complaint no good" Now then what shall I take? inquired the patient. Take, exclaimed the doctor, eyeing her from head to feet, Take, echoed after a moment's reflection, take-why, take of
your stools!'

We conclude with the following, which we recommend particularly to all anxious mothers --
"One day, when Dr. Read was sitting with us, we saw from the open window his own little boy. about four years old, playing on the green with a large hatchet-
We pointed it out to the father, and urged him to go and take from his child so dangerous a play-thing.
'Well now, I guess, if I did, he would find something else perhaps worse. You know that the other day he had got the percussion caps and gun-powder that your master Frank blew himself up with.' It is impossible to be always looking after them. They must take their chance."--(Mr. Beste, vol... 132
CORRESPONDENTS of England.They told us how they should like to see England; but could not bear the idea of living there; and they asked us if we had no fear in living in England When we asked why, they said some of their priests told them that England was only a piece of land like an iceberg and just sticking out above the ice, and which might be overflowed or covered any night when there might be an extraordinary rough sea, which catastrophe they considered must at some time happen. 1 -Carr's Russia.
