Itis probable that he would havo been even severer in hisstrictures on there co‘. lectors of anccdotes, if he could have forc. seen what would bo made of soms of the incidents cof hkis own life. Without these anscdotes, howsver, posterity would not have had a complote picture of the man; and, on the whole, even thoss who havs mostrespect for his memory do not regret that they have besn pressrved and handod down to succeasding gensrations. Happily he had great qualities encugh to ronder it unnecessary for his weaknesses and faults to be overlooked and forgotten, A less brilâ€" liant luminary than the sua would be dimâ€" med and disfigured by the spots which he bears ugon the surface ; but his transcendâ€" ent effulgence makes us uscornscicus of their presence. , Anecdotes of Great Mon,. BY THE REV, W. S, BLACKSTOCK, Dr. Samuel Johnson, though a lover of anecdotes, did not set a high value upon many of the tales which are told about great men, He doubted the utility of a stery, the only effect of which is to make the subjact of it appear ridiculous, Evon when these narratives were strictly trus ho could not sse that it was worth while to put them on record. ®"I know not well," said he, in an essay written in defenrce of anecdotes, what advantage postority can receive from the one circuamstance by which Ticknell has disticgaishsd Addison from the rest of mankindâ€"the irregularity cf his pulse ; nor can I think myseif overpaid for the time spent in reading the life of Malherbe by being enabled to rclate, after the learned biographer, that Malherbe had two predominantopinions ; one that the loogeness of & single weman might destroy all her boast of anciont descont ; the other that the French beggars made use very imâ€" proparly and barbarously of the phrase nobE; gentleman, becauso either word in-‘ oluded thse sense of both." % It is said by physicians that the infecâ€" tion can be conveyed by both books and papers, and it is certain that is can be carâ€" ried by clothing. Eight ezs, of sulphate of zinc, one oz, 6 carbolic acid, and three gals. of water. Lot them soak at least one hour, and then put them in boiling water for washirg. Feathor beds, pillows, matiresses, flannois, and the carpet must be fumigated thoroughly. Itis well to have the side walls and ceilings cleaned and whitewashked, and the wooGâ€" work and floors thoroughly scerubbed with soap and water. If the walis are papsred, it should be taken off, and the room reâ€" papered. It would be better to take up the carpet and carry away all useloss things f}'szn the sick room at the very first, if posâ€" \ sible.

Itis probable that one of the chief benefits derived by invalids from a winter‘s sojourn at Alpine or tropiâ€" cal resorts is due to the larger amount of sunlight enjoyed. After a room has been cccupled by a scarlet fever patient, all the articles, clothâ€" ing, beddirg, eto., that have been used about the patient, that can be washed, must be int into a tub with a disinfecting fiaid. The following is good : mples ies "pein: e eentat in wl t en teieree rtelintisl= ds ids ~2 * Uihidcata Magazino forcibly states the connection beâ€" Eween sunlight and health, and quotes from Dr. Bell‘s late work on climatclogy the folâ€" lowing weighty sentence : ® Free access of light favors nutrition and regularity of deâ€" velopment, and contributes to beautify the countenance ; while deficiency of light is usually characterized by ugliness, rickets and deformity, and is a fruitful source of scrofula and consumption in any climate," This statement, we may add, is corroboratâ€" ed by'a fact noticed by D: Hammond, that 61 sratt muain" mer on n en e o Eie h nin aniiae As the sun now resumes someth ing of his fervor and brilliance over eur hemisphere, health seekers should make it a point to get & dallg sun bath, We all understand the bad effecs of the withdrawal of light from plants in winter, Bat it is too easily forâ€" sotten that through the short and dark ays of winter the human body suffers in the same way as vegetaglon, and hence needs the therapeutic agency of sunshine at this season to repair its wasted forces, A writer it‘x the last number of the Metsorological Invalids, as a rule, have a great deal of leisure on their handsâ€"more of is than they likeâ€"and to fill this time pleasantly is a question involving a good deal more than mere amusement. The importance of menâ€" tal distraction to invalide is a fact too uniâ€" versally recognized to call for comment here, my object in this paper being merely to sugâ€" gest a mode of distraction that, in my own experience, has not only been attended with the happiest results pbysically, but has proved a source of intense and neverâ€"falling pleasure. I allude to the atudy of botanyâ€" not the tireseme, profistless study of textâ€" books, but of the woods, and fiolds, and mesadows,. : The beauty of this pursuit is that it takes the student outâ€"ofâ€"doors, and throat and lung troubles, as has been truly said, are houseâ€"diseases. Iam speaking, of course, to these who have begun to fight tho enemy before he has captured the innoer defenses, and who are supposed to be strong cnough } to do a reassonable amount of walking, and some solid thinking, For botany, though the simplest of the sciences, can not be masâ€" tered without some effort. You sre met right at the threshold by thas fearful, teochâ€" nical vecabulary which muss be conquered before advancing a single stepâ€"a labor so formidable and repellent, when undertaken according to the old szchoolâ€"bock methcd, l that I do not wonder so many have skhrunk away from it in dirgust or in despair, | bed, and those with weak chests will do well to wear the lungâ€"protector at night, as well as by day, as the portion of the frams most frequently unprotected is that between the shoulder blades. i * ieiGerebnnet Tereiniied .dcick. ce cirdints uP ubstt coaitces l })ear, three or four drops of camph:r on a ump of sugar, or in water, will often proâ€" duce a reaction, and frequently ward off the threatened attack.

Oa the whole, the probability seems to be that unless Mr, Astor should take him in hand, even the alchemy of mcdern criticism will never be able to make a fine gentleman of Johnson, Bat after what has been done for Luoretia Borgia there is khope that even his ferocity of manner, and his soiled linen, which gave so much offence to her sons of fastidious taste, may after all bo resolved into myths, There is in the moantime encugh in the greatness of the soul that was in him, the kindness of his heart, and the substap. tial service which he has rendered to the literature of his countryâ€"the noblost in the worldâ€"to securse for him the respsct of those who think more of the substance than of the meore acidents of human charsactor. gIF. Customer <(to restaurant proprietor)â€"I find this piece of shoo string in my soup, There is just one scene in the liio of Johnâ€" son, which, as it appears to mo, might better have beon forgotten, His nufortunate ronâ€" countre with Adam Smith, the acoount of which has been prescrved by Sir Walter Soott, was scarcely creditable to cithor ore or the other of these worthies,. Johnson called Smith a liar, and Smith responded by oallâ€" ing Johnson & son of aâ€"well not of a respactâ€" able woman,. _ Oa such terms," says Sir Walter, " did thesoe two great moralists mest and part ; and such was tho clasatcal dialogue between these two great teachors of morality." This is very sad indeed, and I for one could have wished that when Soott‘s account of it was wrister, that like Sterne‘s recording angs!, he had droppad a tear upon it and blotted it out forever, Highly reprehensible as the conduct of thbo tkhese groat men unquestionably was on that occarion, it is not conceivable that it fermed an essgential part of the charactor of either one or the other of them, or that it was in any senso necessary in order to cemplete the picture of cither of them. \ And yes it is a remarkable fact, that ought to be mentioned to the credis of the grace and good senso of the Scotch, that among no other nationality bhas he more arâ€" dent admirors than among those peoâ€" pls whom he would have us believs are brought up en horsefeed. To say rothing of Macaulsy sand Main, both of whom are Scotohmsn, Thomas Cariyle is porhaps the only man in the last generation that has fully understood J ohnson, or who has been capable of duly estimating his character and worth,. Tho rugged eloments of essontial manhood, the great heart, the groat understanding, the fron will, and the fierce and terrible earnestness and indepsndâ€" ’ence which he feund in this strarge and wonderfal man, made the modern Diogenes forget his faults and foibles. â€" Ho does not hesitate, therefore, to give him a pormanent place among the heroes whom he reccomâ€" ll:ll:xads to the worshipping attention of manâ€" 1 I do not know how the Scotch people like the ill natured sayings of Johnson respectâ€" ing themselves and their country which have been preserved. ~He appears to have, for some occult reazon that, so far as I am aware, has never bsen explained, forms* an inveterate prejudice against Scotiand a: d the Scotch. Hs could, apparontly, see nothing either in " the land of mountain and of flood," or in the people who livs in it at all worthy of his admiration, The counâ€" try itself he pronounced " detestable," and the only ground upon which he fourd himsslf able to justify the ways of Providence in producing such & country was that "it was made for Scotchmn." Sidney @mith confessed that ho would like to roast a& Quakerâ€"metaphorically I supâ€" pose, of courseâ€"and evidently it would havs been jest as agrecable a pastime to Johnson to reast & Scotchman in the same sense.
