DR. SAGE'I CATARRH REMEDY.
It is the only form of instrument yet invented
with which fluid medicine can be carried high, up
Ind perfectly applied to all parts of the attested nasal
' usages, and the chambers or cavities communicat-
in therewith, in which sores and ulcers frequently
exist, and from which thp catarrhul discharge gene-
rally’proceeds. The want of success in treating
Catarrh heretofore has arisen largely from the impos-
sibility of applying remedies to these cavities and
chambers by any of the ordinary methods. This
Obstacle in the way of effecting cures is entirely
Overcome by the invention of the Douche. In DSIIIE
this instrument .the Fluid is carried by its own weigh
(no strutting, level or pumping being required.) up one
nostril in a full gently flowing stream to the highest
portion of the nasal passages,sasses into and thor-
ughly cleanses all the tubes an chambers connected
gherewith, and flows out of the opposite upstrll. Its use
is pleasant, and so simple that a child can under-
stand it. Full and :expllcls directions,

IN AN ELEVATOR. , '
The Story on Junior Purtnor.
At last Iliad succeeded, (and, after six
years hard work, the firm (of Smith &_
Brown had agreed to become Smith, Brown
& 00., and I, John Boland, was to be the
junior partner. It had been a dream 0f
mine, for Idon’t know: how long, to see
that sign changed; and often I pictured to
myself how nice it.would‘look to have in

Yes,I succeeded; but everybody said I~
looked miserably, and sister insisted on my
going away for the summer. 80, nothing
lotb,'I leftsNew Orleans, hind, after several
days shaking in the cars, I found myself .in
New York, preparatwy to the usual tOur
taken by Southerners through the North. I
arrived at about four in the evening, and my
first care was to get to a hotel, intending to
see about some dinner, ' ,
Having reached my destination, the Fitlh
Avenue Hotel, I proceeded to see about my
baggage and room. The former for 9. won-
der was all right; but as to the room, the ho-
tel was crowded, the clerk said, and I must
go up to the fifth story. "That is always
the way they treat as poor bachelors," I
muttered between my teeth.
The gentlemanly clerkw caught at the
Words and politely assuredme that “there
were plenty of ladies on that story.” an
assurance that did not improve the state of
my temper, aaI never was fond of lndies’
society; in fact, my sister thought me quite
a bear because I never would be attentive
to her husband’s sister ; andI suppose that
was very provoking.
Seeing that I must swallow my wrath,if I
wished to swallow my dinner, I picked up
my satchel and shawl and started for the
elevator- Little .did I know what a,_few
hours, or rather minutes-would bring. I
got in, and several (lid likewise, until we
nearly resembled a sardine *box. The man
was just going to shut the door and take us
up, when a pretty little lady» tripped hastily
toward us, seeing which, .15 made the man
wait for her. She duly rewarded me with
the sweetest and brightestof smiles. ‘I don’t
'1 know which'did look préltiest, her sweet
little mouth, her bright,1aughing brown eye,
or the embarrassed ' blush on her trans-
parent skin. Whatever it was, I said to my-‘
self, “Isn‘t she pretty 1?” But there was no
place to sit down, and, as I had the end Sent,
I very gallantly offered it to her.
With another blush she took it, and under
the spreading skirts pecped out the daintest
little foot imaginable. After sitting down
she gathered up. her dress, and with one eye
toward the carpet and another up toward
'me, and, blushingvmore than ever, she said.
in the sweetest of voices: “There’s room
enough for you sir.” What could I do after
such an invitation—the prettiest one a
woman had ever bestowed on me in my
life? Accept it, of course. Although 'I
must fain acknowledge that it was very
uncomfortable to have just about one-eigh-
teenth the amount of room you ought to
occupy, and to feel as if you were going to
be upset at every move; this however, was
soon improved, as people went out at every
story. '
I continued taking a good survey .of any
companion ; but it was in fear and tremb-
ling that she would catch me in the not.
Once, indeed I did catch her eye, as she was
going to do what I had been doing—take a
good look. After which she never raised
her eyes again, and, in fact, almost turned
her back on me. The first, second, third
and fourth stories had'been passed, and we,
had left at each landing a part of our passen-
gers; still my cpmpanion did not move,
until,'at last, only she and 1 were left.
We had passed the fourth story, when I
noticed that the elevator went slower and
slower, until there was a kind bf snapping
noise—a side lunge that threw the little
lady’s head on my shoulder, and we stood
still between the fourth and fifth stories-—
too high for the one and too low for the
other. -
“The rope’s given away, sir, I reckon,”
said the man in charge to my inquiring
look. '
“How will we get out I” said I.
“I’m share I don’t know," said he, coolly;
“guess if we do, it will not be before night.”
“The d—l i” 'said I, “this is a pretty pa‘ss;”
exasperated by my hunger and the man's
coolness. The profane word had‘no sooner
passrd my lips than I looked at my compan-
ion to see the effect of it, but she was to ex-
cited to notice anything.
“Do you mean to say that we are going to
stay here all the afternoon ?” she said, in a
- half-imploring. half flightened voice.
“Yes, miss,” said the man, with the some
imher'iurbnble coolness.
“What will papa and Nettie think 1”} she
said.with tears fairly starting in her eyes;
and then turned to me, in a most “,child-like,
trusting wav, and exclaimed:
“0 i do you think so, sir? Is there nothing
that can be done ?"
For my part, I greatly feared that there
was nothing to be done, but anybody would
have been a brute to have told that dear
little creatuie anything half so distressing;
so I was just going to assure her that some-
thing would be done, or that I would. do
something, or somebody would do some-
thing to extricate us from this difficult posi-
tion when the elevator man, evidently en-
joying her distress, said, with gusto:
“Yes, miss, not till late, and lucky, too, if
you escape without any hurt; the first thing
you know, while we are. talking he.e, before
anybody could help us, we might pitch
down and break every bone in our bodies.”
During this tirade she had grown paler
and paler, and the tears rolled down her
cheeks,-tili at the close she sat down hid
her face in her hands, with a'liystoriclt sob,
which was quickly followed by another.
and then another. (I have since found out
that when a woman starts in that line it is

an intimate friend of my brother-iu-law,
Dick Lacy. On the strength of this he in-
vited me to join the girls at the opera. Of
course I did not refuse. This invitation
brougbtubout many others. Thus, in a
little while, we became well acquainted.
In a few days the Maynards left for Can-
ada and I followed; they then went to
Niagara, and of course I accompanied them.
Manic was too pretty not to have admirers,
and to mischievous not to like to fl irt, so I
felt many a jealous pang. If my actions be-
frayed me, my words at least never did;
nevertheless, the little mischief Would be-

Once I thought, indeed, that another
would prove successful, and it was hard not
to tellher how matters stood; but I thought
I had no right to ask her, accustomed to
every luxury, to share my poor lot. So I
resolved to wait till the end of the summer,
and thus give others a fair chance.
, The time for going home was drawing
near, and none of the numerous suitors had
been accepted. We- started homeward.
Tired of railroad traveling, we agreed to
take the river route home, and we reached
St. Louis in time to catch the Natches.. One
fair September evening, Nellie being reading
and Mr. Maynard away smokingfianie
and I, voting Nellie too stupid or ious
for-us, went on deck for a change. She
looked so very lovely that I could not help
telling her so.'.She laughed and blushed,
and said, “Mr. Boland, a compliment from
you is enough to make me faint.” _
“Please don’t, “exclaimed I, laughing:
“Do you remember 0nr‘first meeting!
Pray don’t ,try the experiment again. I
hays not my satchel at hand.” ‘
“You took such good care of me then that
I feel very much tempted to repeat it."
“Don'tI always take good care of you?
that is, when you let me. and not prefer
some one else dancing round you."
This was the first time I had ever put my
jealousy in words, to her at least. She
looked astonished; and for I Wonder au-
swered seriously :.
“Yes; I must say you have been kind to
me from the first moment we met, and have
always taken good care of me. I fear that
in spite of it I have been often teazing.”
1 hesitated a moment, then determined to
have it out then and there. -
“Miss Manic,” I said “if I have taken
good careof you hitherto. let me take- care
'ofyou for life,” and I 100k the little hand
resting on my arm. She did not withdraw
it, but said nothing. After a while I con-
tinued, “Miss Mattie you must know by

you might spare me any suspense; God
knows it has been hard enough to bear all
summer, your having others around you 1”
“Why did you not, then, come forward

“No woman likes to be faintly woeed, and I
suffered enough on your account. 0! I used

leftfree.
Then I told her what had keptme hack,

Washington, in reply to that, says: “At

On the night of Sunday, February 14, Capt.
Hall sat on deck all night, reading, writing

Throughout the whole month of January
very little ice was seen, and ieach night the,

More Breath of an. Open Polar Sen.
We have already stated the fact that the
Polaris, on which vessel Capt. Hall and
crew undertook to make a vOyage to the
North Pole. had been obliged to return to
Disco, in Greenland, in consequence of a
leak caused by contact on the 8th of Febru-
ary with an ice snag beneath the surface of
the water. A Danish brig. which arrived
at St. Pierre, Newfoundland, on the 14th
instant, brought some interesting particulars
of the expedition and its results. The log

Others pierce their ears for the admission of
large and heavy pendants,and the holes
gradually become so large by the constant
lugging, as to admit a man’s hand. In the
northern part of China the women employ
every means at their command to diminish
the size of their eyes. They instruct their
girls to continually extend their eyelids,with
the view of making their eyes as oblong and
ls small as possible. These properties, in
the estimation of the Chinese. when joined
to a large, flat nose, open,pendulolis‘ ears,
ind contracted feet, constitute the perfec-
tion of beauty. '
The ladies of Arabia stain their fingers
I and toes red, their eyebrows black, and their
tips bias. In Persia they paint a. black
streak around their eyes, and ornament
their faces with various figures. The
Japanese women gild their teeth, and those
of the Indies paint them red. The Holland
women paint their entire bodies in com-
partments of red and block. 'In Greenland
the women color their faces with blue and
yellow, and frequently tattoo their bodies
by saturating threads in soot and then draw-
ing them through the integuinent. Hindoo
women, when they wish to appear particu-
larly lovely, are in the habit of smearing
themselves with a mixture of tnmeric, safi'ron
and grease. In nearly all the islands of the
Pacific and Indian Oceans, the women, as
well as the men, tattoo 0 great variety of
figures on the face lips, tongue, and,ihe
whole body. .Sir Joseph Banks, who so- '
companied Capt. Cook on his first voyage,
was present on the island of‘ Olaheite, at the
operation 0f tattooing performed upon the
back of a girl thirteen years of age. The
instrument used “had twenty teeth, and at
each stroke, which was repeated every mac
ment, issued an ichor or serum tinged with -
blood. The girl bore the pain with resold. ‘
tion for some minutes, but at length it boo
came so intolerable that she burst out in
violent exclamations; but the operator was
inexorable, and the two women who attend-
ed at the operation both heat sud chide the
child for her struggling.” It is singular that
such practices should be so general, and so
obstinately persisted in, when we consider
the pain and inconveniences with which.
they are attended. -
In New Holland they cut themselveswith
shells, and keeping the w0unds open for I
long time, form .deep scars in the flesh,
which they deem highly ornamental An-
other singular addition is made to their
beauty by taking . off, in‘ infancy, the little
finger of the left hand at the second joint.
In ancient Persia an squiline nose was
often thought worthy of the crown, but the
Sumatra mother carefully fi. ttens the ness
of her daughters by lacing the head between
two braids. In New Guinea the nose ispero
forated and a large piece of Wood inserted.

Among the Otaheitans, the chief orns-
ments among the women is a bone thrust -
through I. hole bored in the cartilage wh‘ch
divides the nostrils. This bone is as thick,.
as a man's finger, and six inches or more in
length. It teaches quite across the face,
and so effectually - stops up. both nostrils
that they are timed to keeptheir months
wide open for breath, and soothe so when
they attempt to speak that they are scarcely
intelligible to each other.
But perhaps instances enough are cited to
illustrate this great ruling passion of man-
kind to disfigure and mar the beauty and
structure of the human body. It seems ab-
surd and abominable. And in meditating
upon the facts before us, weeqnnot suppress
the thought that they only imply an igno-
rant want of respecttovysrds the Almighty, ‘
and a disposition to find fault with His wise
creations, as if' in taming them .He was
deficient in intelligence or wantinginbenev-
olent design. The ladies of modern America
may look with wonder upon such strange
customs; they may smile if they please at
such rude ideas of beauty, but,with. every
sense of respect towards their dignity s. .
intelligence, we would usk’if many of their
awkward attempts ,to improve. their form
and figure are not equally ridiculous, and
whether they should not be locked upon. in
the same light.

are unhappily less fortunate in this respect?
It is a serious subject, in our way of think-
