The old woman was alone. He entered into conversation with her, and asked her to use her influence in getting her husband to vote for him. The old woman would not promise ; her husband, she said, was a man who took his own way. While they were conversing, the would-be M.P. noticed a kitten amusing itself on the floor. He took it up, praised its beauty, and offered her five pounds for it. The bargain was struck, and on leaving he again expressed the hope that she would secure her husband's vote for him “ Weel, sir.” answered the woman, “as I said afore, John’s a mon o’ his ain mind, and just does what strikes his ain noddle ; but at ony rate, sir, you’ve gotten a real cheap kitten, for yer opponent war in nae farer gan than yesterday, and gied me ten pounds for its brither.” :o:~ A BOON TO MEN.—To the Sick who wish to Consult me. All afflicted persons desirous of gaining my advice, should give a plain statement of their affections—their origin, cause (if known), present symptoms, etc. The patient should in each case give me the same in¬ formation as they would at a personal interview. Fine or technical writing is not required. State all in confidence, witholding nothing that can enable me to judge of the nature or severity of the case. All Correspondence is held Inviolably Sacred. % J. HOLDROYD, Medical Hall, Cleckheaton. My concluding remark to the sufferer is—From whatever cause send me a plain statement of your condition, habits, occupation, age, and every particular. If you are suffering from any disease which you have failed to get cured of, write me at once, and receive my opinion per next post. PERSEVERE. When a man is in the right path he must persevere; continue in that path for ten or twenty years, always living within your income, putting your surplus at interest, and necessarily adding to your experience, and your independence is secured beyond all peradventure. Perseverance is but another word for self-reliance. I have known men who have met with pecuniary reverses and absolutely committed suicide because they thought they could never overcome their misfortune. - But I have known others who have met more serious difficulties, and have bridged them over by simple perseverance, aided by a firm belief that they were doing justly, and that Providence would “ overcome evil with good.”
