./Jpothecai'ies. — This business increases rapidly, 

 nntl v/8 fear tliat it is too often left to inexperienc- 

 ed boys. An elderly ladv, tindin<^ berfelf trifliiig- 

 fy indisposed, sent for some peppprjnint, and took 

 a few drops ; it produced a stupor, and on examin- 

 ation of the piiial, it contained hemlock. A few 

 drops more would have put her to slee]) " to wake 

 no more." The greatest caution is necessary in 

 venders and purchasers of drugs. — Enquirer. 



I'hen to praise. — Praise the fineness of the day 

 when it is ended — praise a women wlien you have

 a maiden, after she is married — the ice, when you 

 have crossed it, and liquor after it is drank.
