USEFUL ADVICE TO BOYS

la the course of an Interesting address delivered la JJunedin by the Rev A. C. Gllllfi, he gave the following useful advice to boys : Train yourselves now to Industry and self-restraint. As without water one cannot learn to swim, so with ©nt hard -work yon can never rise above the commonplace drone ot society. Rely upon your own strength of body and mind. Take yonr star — self-reliance, faith In God, boneny toward man,andporseYer< Ing industry. Write on your banner : "Lack ie a fool; Plack is a hero. " Think well of yourselves, without being either proud or vain. Be dignified, not pedan tic; reserved, not haughty . Be neither eervile to yonr superiors nor stern to your Inferiors. Ba respectful to all, but familiar with no moie than one m a thousand outside of your own family. Ahbids your own position ; be decided, think for yourselves, and then strike out for the ihore. Energy, punctuality, and nntonquerable determination, with a pure motive, are the levers that move and raise the world out of the rut of selfish ness, and make it revolve on a new axis of rlghteouenets, prosperty, aud peace. Den t drink intoxicating liquors ; don't chew tobacoo ; don't smoke. Don't attend promiscuous balls. Don't swear — a gentle man nsver does, Don't lie. finware of aumyolrcßsesand theatres. Don't gamble or bet m any form. Don't steal. Don't deceive by wearing two faces — one for our presence end another for our absence. Don't read either common novels or sen ration al newspapers. Read history , geegraphy t science, travels, and blograpbj J Pon't gossip. Respeot the aged, the meral, and the educated. Don't marry till 70a are able to keep bouse comfort ably. Be In earnest, Don't trifle, but cultivate wit and humour of a high aud pire order. Ed joy a good joke. Laugh heartily now and then ; I suspect those who dent. Be independent without being Insolent, and be self-reliant without being self- conceited. Advertise your business, yet not so as to m j are others m the same line. Make money honestly, and then do good with it. Don't die rich ; It's a bad sign. Enjoy the heaven of eceing your money doing good to others around you. Work hard, study faithfully, and determine to be second to none m point of honest wealth, charity, know ledge, manners, and moral purity. What ever you do, do thoroughly. Fear God, and love your parents, brothers, sisters, friends, neighbors, and fellow beings m general. Be careful of your own and everybody else's moral character and re potation. Love jonr country, and obey Ite laws. Love truth, honor and virtue Study your Bible, live according to ite requirements, and you will be happy for ever,

INFLUENCE OF EAETHQUAKES UPON HEALTH

A. very Interesting communication to the " Medical News " has been made by Dr F. Peyre Porcher, of Charles ton, on the Influence of the recent earthquake ibocks In that city upon the health of the Inhabitants. In addition to the natural alamo and fright which ware quite universal, aome persona were attacked with nausea and Tomitiog, which recurred ci persisted la eeveral cases for days. Two gentlemen on the islands eighty miles from Charleston had their eyes filled with tears not to be repressed, but not earned by alarm, or fears for their personal tafety, for the danger there was sot Imminent. Many persons experienced decidedly eleotrlpal disturbances^ which Trere. repeated upon the mcoessive re oyrrence of the ahopks. These were geberftHy tinglinga, pricking «ensatlons, like "needles and pins," afFectiog the lower extremities. One gentleman was completely relieved of his rheumatism ; uotnar who for months was nervous, denreued, and entirely unable to attend to Dnilneei, regained his former activity and energy. Several oaeea of mental . dlftotbanoe, owing to anxiety and pro longed lon of rest, some of them per ifitent, occur red among Dt Poroher's ptilentt.—" 8t Uqie Aljeoiit and Neu-

M. PASTEUR'S CURE FOR HYDROPHOBIA

The death of an English peer from hydrophobia, after undergoing the cele brated Paftenr treatment for the preven tion of that frightful disease, will, (says the "New Zea and Times,") greatly shake the growing corfidenoe ia M. Pasteur's treatment, Lord Doneraile, who has met this dreadful fate, was an Irish Yisoount, and one of the representative peers. Befog horn m 1818, he had attained his 69 h year, and he succeeded to the title ia 1854. Having been accidentally bitten by a tame fox, which afterward showed symptoms of what was believed to be rabies, he placed himself m M. Pasteur's hands, and underwent the treatment by inoculation with "attenuated virnt" whioh the great French savant hn rendered so f»m ni. Apparei tl;|it vn successful, and no doubt tbe ill-fated nobleman hoped that the horrible danger had been averted. Onrloosly enough, the point raised by those who disbelieved the efficacy of the treatment was not that Lord Doneraile was not cared, but that the disease was probably not rabies, therefore that he would not have bad hydrophobia m any case. Unhappily the views of both parties have been falsified by the event, the Yincount having at length succumbed to tbe fatil poison which had boen abtorbed into hla ■yatetn. It io by no meant impossible that his melancholy case will now be used m *upp< rfc of another contention set np against the Pasteur treatment, nunely. that it may give hydrophobia while pro fessing to avert it.

An inspection parade of the Ashburton Volunteers was held at the drillahed last evening. Major Douglas being the Inspect ing Officer. The Riflea (Uapt. Dolman) numbered 46, and the Guards (Oapt. Sparrow) 43. The Corps were exercised m battalion drill, after which Major Douglas addressed the men, and said that m view of the field day on the 9th November every member of the corps should attend the weokly drills regularly " Chambers 1 Journal " thus describes a new method of burning gas, whioh has lately been introduced m London. It ia an incan descent burner, invented by Dr Aver von Welsbach. It consists of a so-called 'mantle' of muslin, whioh has been impregnated with certain incombustible oxidee produced from the rare mstals ziroonium and lanthanum. -This cap or mantle is supported by a platinum wire m the flame of a Bunaen burner, with the result that the delicate incombustible net work is brought to a white heat. The flams gives out an intensely white light, whioh is perfeotly steady and of high value, for a light of twenty candles is obtained from burning only two and a half feet of gas per hour. " Lloyd's Weekly " has .the following :— George William Niohollß left England for New Zealand m 1875, and has not been heard of for five years. His laßt address was the Poit Office, Chriatohurch, New Zealand. His father ia anxious for news. Franois Albert Sjmonds left England for Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand, m the ship Waimate, m Sept. 1875. He subsequently went to Sydney, from whenoe ha wrote m Feb. 1877. Ha has not been heard of since, and his aged parents are very anxious concerning him. A new musioal toy, called the " bigophono, ' after tho name of the inventor, M. Bigot, has become a rage^atjthe looal fatoß so numerou around Paris. It is a cardboard horn of some fantastic shape, requiring no knowledge of musio to play it, and only requiring that the air to be played should be known by ear to the performer, who hums it through the mouthpieoe. According to the voice of the exeoutant, the instrument becomes a bassoon, oornet, and trombone, flute, flageolet, eto., and complete bands are formed with it, and oompeto with each other, like the orpheonio sooieties. A grand festival of " bigophonists" has just been held at a fete on the banks o the Marne, near St Maur, when medals and prizes were distributed, the affair passing off amidst great enthusiasm.
