-i Touching Appeal. —Policeman, spare that dofCi touch not a single hair ; he worries many a hog, from out his muddy lair. Oh! when he was a pup, so frisky and so plump, he lapped his milk from a cup, when hungry, at a jump. And then his funny tricks, so funny in their place, so full of canine licks upon your hands and face. You will surely let him live ! Oh !do not kill him~dead ; he wags his narrative and prays for life—not lead’. 00, get the muzzle now, put upon his mouth, and stop that bow, bow, bow! and tendency to drought. He isourchildron’spet companion of their joy ; you will not kill him yet, and thus their hopes destroy No, policeman, spare that pup, touch not a single hair ; oh! put your up pistol up, and go away from there! A J.iiing to be Avoided in Hot Weather.Be careful, if you are sending postage stamps in a letter, how you fold them, or else the receiver will be mulcted out of one half their value. You must place them vis-a-vis to one another, and not with their backs turned upon each other. Do not neglect this advice, otherwise you will find, supposing the weather is at all warm, that your stamps, like friends backing one another, will stick together ;so tenaciously that not even Sir Cresswcll Cresswell, with all his talismanic power for dividing the heads of families, would be able to decree a judicial separation. On opening vour letter you will discover, as in the report 'of a French debate, “ evident marks of adhesion.'* Every head will have been turned into a Janus head, though as you can only show one at a time it is very clear that in this instance two heads cannot be better than one even though they may have the Dublin postmark upon them. You may exercise due caution in attending to this, or else we fairly warn you that, when the hot weather does come, every five shillings you place in your letter will, before it reaches its destination, have melted down, by Gum I to not more than half-a-crown ; in other words, you will be “ stuck,” not less than the postage stamps themselves, for one half the amount you enclose.— Punch. What creatures in Noah’s ark carried the least baggage ? The cock and fox ; for they had only one comb and brushed between them. A popr laboring man was told that gold was the hardest of metals. “Well, I don’t know about that; all I know is, it is the hardest to get.” Hoi.lowax’s Ointment and Pills.—Pimples, boils, carbuncles, abscesses. —These maladies arise from some obstruction to the free circulation of blood through the blood vessels or capillaries, and the only rational mode of cure consists in removing tlie local impediment, at the same time that any impurity engendered by the stoppage should be filtered from the blood. Holloway’s Ointment applied to the part effects the first, his Pills accomplish the latter, object. The inflamed skin derives softness, coolness, and ease, from the application of the unguent, which gradually penetrates to the affected tissues, and soon restores the circulation and its channels to a healthy condition, and saves the sufferer from most serious diseases, which (oo frequently follow from carelessness or injudicious medical treatment.— fAdvi.J.
