that a system of dietary In which fresh

if n deficiency of cither of these requl
Bitcs of health arises, skin complaints
arc of common occurrence, to say notli
Ing of tho wretched stato of health of
which such appearances arc but tho out

the proportions of nnlmal food which
are usually considered necessary, it is
important so to blend animnl and vege
table nourishment that, by their joint
effect, tho balance of health may bo
maintained. Albumon, fibrin, gelatin,
cosoln, nnd fat arc generally found In
nnlmal food; while sugar, starch, glu
ten, and salts arc especially met with in
vegetables. Speaking on this subject, in
liis lectures on food, Dr. Lankcslersays;
"You may find half a dozen children
all exposed to the danger of scarlet

other four nro free; but the two that

lias produced death. Again : Four men

their blood. They had lived somehow
irregularly; their bodies had been de
prived of their proper constituents.

RISKS OF GREAT EATERS.
uur.AT caters never live long. A vo
racious appetite, so far from being a
sign of health, Is n certain indication of
disease. Somo dyspeptics nro nlwnys
Hungry, nnd feel best when they are eat
lug; butns soon ns they have finished
eating thoy enduro tortures so distress
lug In their nature as to make the tin
happy victim wish for death. Tho ap
petite of health is that which inclines
moderately to cat when eating-time
comes, and which, when satisfied, leaves
no unpleasant reminders. Multitudes
measure their health by tho amount
they can cat ; and of any ten persons
nine aro gratified at an increase of
weight, when, in reality, any excess of
fatness is, in proportion, decisive proof
or existing disease, showing that tho ab
sorbents of the system nro too weak to
dischargo their duty ; and tho tendency
to fatness, to obesity, increases until ex
istence is a burden, and sudden death
closes the history.
Particular Inquiry will almost unva
ryingly elicit tho fact that fat persons,
howovcr rubicund and Jolly, nro never
well, and yet they are envied. While
great eaters nover live to an old nge, and
nro never for ti .single day without some
"symptom," somo feeling sufilclently
disagreeable to attract tho mind's atten
tion unpleasantly, small eaters, those
who cat regularly of plain food, usually
liavo no " spare fiesh," are wiry and en
during, and live to an active old age.
Remarkablo exemplifications of tiieso
statements aro found in tho lives of cen
tenarians of a past age. Galen, one of
the most distinguished of tho ancients,
lived very sparingly nfter tlio aire of
twenty-eight, nnd died in ills hundred
nnd fortieth year. Keitgern, who never
tasted spirits or wine, and worked hard
all his life, reached a hundred and eighty-five
years.
Jenkins, a poor Yorkshire fisherman,
who lived on tho coarsest diet, was one
hundred and sixty-nine years old when
ho died. Old Parr lived to ono hun
dred and fifty-three; his diet being milk,
witey, sninu-ueer, and coarse bread. The
favorite diet of Henry Francisco, who
lived to ono hundred and forty, was
tea, bread nnd butter, and baked apples.
Ephraim Pratt, of Shutosbury. Sins..
who died aged one hundred and seven
teen, lived chiefly on milk, and even
that in small quantities; his son Mi
chael, by similar means, lived to ono
hundred and threo years. Father Cull,
n uouiodisc clergymen, died last year
at tho age of ono hundred and five,' the
main diet of his life being salted swine's
fiesh (bacon), and bread made of Indian
meal. From these statements ninogen
eral readers out of ten will jump to tho
conclusion that milk is healthy, as aro
oaiccd apples and bacon.
These conclusions do not legitimately
follow. Theonly inference that can safely
bo drawn is from tlio only fact running
through all these eases that plain food
nnu a nio 01 steady labor tend to a great
nge. As to tlio healtlifulnessnnd life-pro-
'"K"K qumuios oi any article or diet

two of tho men lived on tho samo kind
of food; all that ean bo rationally and
safely said is either that they lived so
long in splto of the quality of tho food
they ate, or that their instincts called
for n particular kind of food, and tho
gratification of flint instinct, instead of
its perversion, with a life of steady labor,
directly caused liealthfuliiess nnd great
longin oi nays. Wo must not expect to
live long by doing any ono tiling which

It Is perhaps the privllego or woman
only to extract the sting of grief from
others, by the gentlu patience with
which she i taught by nature to set the
exaniplo of meek endurance. Her first
step lir the career of duty Is generally
by the bed of sickness or of buffering.
'J here she hushes helpless infancy to re
pose, nnd to tho Infirmity of ago sup

It is her province to smooth tho angry

Tlir Poor Musician,
One beautiful .Summer day there was
a great festival in tho largo park at
Vienna. This park is Killed by the
people the Prater. It 13 full of lovely
trees, splendid walks, and little rustic
pleasure-houses. At the timo of which
I am speaking there wcro pcoplo there,
some young and some old, nnd mnnv
strangers too. And all those who were
there enjoyed such a sceno ns thoy had
probably never beheld before
He that ns it may, the Prater was almost
covered with crowds of pcoplo. Among
tho numbers wero tho organ-grinders,
beggars, and girls who played on harps,
There stood an old musician. He had
onco been a soldier, but his pension was
not sufficient to live on. Still ho don't
liko to beg. Therefore on this partlctr
lar festival day he took his old violin
and played under an old tree in the
park. He had a good faithful old do:
along with him, which lay at his feet.
nnd held nn old lint in his mouth, so
mat passers-by might cast coins into it
for tlio old man.
On the day of the festival which I
liavo now mentioned tho dog sat before
him with tlio old hat. Many pcoplo
went by and heard tho old musician
playing, but they did not throw much
in. I wonder tho pcoplo did not irive
him more, for he was truly a pitiable
object.
His faco was covered with scars re
ceived in his country's battles, and ho
wore a long gray coat, such as he had
kept ever since ho had been in tlio army.
He even had bis old sword ).v hU nlde.
and would not consent to walk the streets
without his trusty friend with him. Ho
bad only threo fingers on his right
hand, so ho had to hold the bow of his
voilln with thcne. A bullet had taken
off tho two others, and almost at the
samo time a cannon ball had taken off
his leg. Tlio last money ho had had
been spent, in buying new strings to his
violin, and ho was now playing with all
his strength tho old marches ho had
so often heard when a boy with his
father.
Ho looked sad enough as ho saw the
multitudes pitss by in their strength,
youth, and beauty; but whenever they
laughed it was like a dagger to his soul,
for ho knew that on that very evening
lie would have to go to bed suppcrless,
hungry as he wa, and lio on a straw
couch in a little garret room. Ills old
dog was better off, for ho often found a
bono hero and there, to satisfy his hun
ger.
rt was fate In tiie afternoon his hones
wero uko tne sun, they were both going
down together. Ho placed Ids old vio
lin down by his side, and leaned against
tree. 'I bo tears streamed down his
scarred cheeks. Ho thought that none
of that giddy throng saw him, but he
was much mistaken. Not far off stood
a gentleman in fine clothes, who had a
kind heart. Ho listened to tho old mu
sician, and when ho saw that no ono
gave him anything, his heart was touch
ed with sympathy. 1 lu finally went to
tho dog, nnd looking at tlio hat saw only
two copper coins in it.
He then said to tho old musician,
"My good friend, why don't you plav
longer V"
"Oli," replied the old man, "my
dear sir, I cannot ; my poor old arm Is
so tired that I cannot hold tho bow ; be
sides I lmvo had no dinner, nnd havo
nuio prospect ot supper."
Tho old man wiped his feeblo hands,
j-iiu Kinu gentleman with whom lie
talked resolved to aid him as best ho
couki. no gave him a pieco of gold,
and said, " I'll pay you, if you will loan
mo your violin lor ono hour."
un," said tho musician, this pieco
ui miHiey is worth more than n half
uo;:en out iiddies liko mine.'
Ing gentleman was playing for tho poor
man, but none knew who ho was.
lly and by tho people ln-gan to tlrop
money Into tho hat, mid tho old dog
seemed delighted to receive so many
pieces of gold for his master. Tlio cir
cle of hearers became larger and larger,
liven the coachmen of tho splendid car
riages begged the people. Inside to stop
and hear tho music. Gold, silver, nnd
copper were thrown Into the lint by the
old and young. Tho old dog began to
growl. What In the world could bo the
matter'. One gentleman, as ho dropped
a large piece of money into the lint, had
struck him on tlio noo, and ho came
very near letting the hat nnd money fall.
Hut it soon became so heavy ho could
not hold it any longer.
" Empty your hat, old man," said the
people, "nnd we will fill It again for
you."
Ho pulled out nn old hnndkerchicf,
nnd wrapping the money in it, put It
into his vlolin-bng.
Tlio stranger kept on playing, and tho
pcoplo cried out, "Uravo! bravo!" In
great Joy. He played first ono tune and
then another even the children seemed
curried away with rapture. At last lie
played that splendid song, "Uod bless
tho limperor Francis!" All hats nnd
caps Hew off their heads, for tho people
loved their limperor. Tho song finally
came to an end. Tho hour was ended,
and the musician handed back the vio
lin to the old man.
"Thank you," said lie. "May Ood
bless you!" and ho disappeared in tlio
crowd.
"Who Is he? Who Is ho?" said tl
people. " Where does ho como from ?'
A person sitting in ono of the coaches
replied that he knew him. " It is Ale.
under Boucher," Mild he, " tliegreat vio
linlst. It Is just liko him ; lie saw that
tho old man needed help, and ho dote
mined to help him in tho best way he
could."
The pcoplo then gave three cheers for
Alexander llouclier, and put money I
tiie old man's hat. When ho went homo
that evening ho was richer than lie had
over been before. When he went to his
bed ho foaled his hands and prayed that
Clod might bless good llouclier,' so that
When ho should get to bo an old man
he might havo good and kind friends.
Now I believe that there were tw
happy men that night in Vienna. Of
course tho poor old musician rejoiced
now that ho was out of want ; but of more
value to him than all his money w
the consolation that somebody had nrov
ed a friend to him. For it does us nil
good to know that wo havo friends, if
iney aro oi no lartncr advantage to us,
There was another who was happy, and
unit, was the good Alexander llouclier,
