city of New York.
The city was crowded with strangers. Af
ter unsuccessful applications at several hotels,
nl last I obtained lodging at —*s. kept on the
European plan. Here I was obliged to content
myself with a chamber on the fourth floo - .
oddly enough arranged in some respects, as,
upon going to it, after supping, for the purpose
of changing my iravclled-siamcd dress, I no
ticed the room had no window, with the excep
tion of a square opening in the wall, through
which air and light were admitted from the
adjoining room. To the opening, too. was at
tached a shutter in that room. I dressed and
attended the Unwery Theatre, reaching my
apartment, on returning, about half past
twelve o'clock at night.
Wlien about stepping into bed. I observed
the wicket open, nnd a thought struck me to
lake a look into the adjoining apartment.
I Why it was I know not : pc-ihaps a sense of
, mv cold insecurity actuated me.
f got upon a chair and pnzid through the
« imlow into (he chamber. N« one was there.
It was furnished like my own. A lamp was
Inrnmg upon the table, and upon Ihe latter
was lying a bolster, a whetstone, and a pair of
large « hiskers.
Will thought T. these arc rather queer nr
tides of wardrobe. After ft glance at the ,
premises. I felt Anything hut cosy, I finally ,
got into bed. first placing the lamp upon Iheji
floor m the foot. and exnnining my pistol. I j
Inul it carefully umhr my head. At first. | 3

1 POPRLAE ERROR.
One of the most common nnd fatal mistakes
made by ardent friends of education, is the in
dulgence of unreasonable hopes, and the main*
lenance of extravagant views as to what they
can efleci by means of it. It is often supposed
that great results can be produced in a single
term of twelve or fifteen weeks. Both teacher
and committee aim at this rapid mode of man
ufacture. True education m that which aims
at the slow and healthy growth of the mind— i
the incorporation into Jl of principles and the |
formation of tastes and habits, the full value of j
which will appear only after mature years hare
developed their tendencies. The highest and 1
best ports of education arc incapable ol exhibi-1
tio '. The show made at the close of a term is j
well enough to amuse children and their fond
parents, but it is often like that of newly dres
sed pleasure grounds, adorned uith trees and
shrubs tresli from the nursery, having a show
of vitality in the foliage, though as yet drawing
no sap from the root. Such frost work at the
school-room is soon dissolved, nnd generally
passes away with the occasion. All attempts
at such premature results of education are en
tirely useless, and yet our system of employing
teachers by the icrm renders it almost nrcessa- J
ry that for a teacher who is ambitious of dis-)
tinction, to lay his plans for that kind of su- 1
perficiul culture and mechanical drill which can ,
be produced in a few weeks, and shown *-fi ns
evidence of marvelous skill. —President Seaif. i
Clucked Presplrolion
Then; are two kinds of prespiration, sensible
and insensible. When we bco drops of water
on the body ns the result of exorcise, or suhsl.
donee of fever, that Is sensibly prespiration,
prespiration recognized by the sense of sight.
Hut when perspiration is so gentle that il cannot
be detected in the shape of water drops, when
no moisture can bo felt, when if is known to ns
only by a certain softness of the skin, that is
tm-ensible prespirafion, and is so gentle that it
may he checked to a considerable extent without
special injury. But to use popular language
which cannot bo mistaken, when a man Is sweat
-1 ing freely and it is suddenly checked, and fixe
I sweat is not brought out again in a few moment a,
: sudden and painful sickness is a very certain
1 result.
What, then, checks prespiratinn ? A draft of
air while wo are at rest alter exercising, or get
tinpthe clothing wet and remaining at rest while
it is so. Getting out of a warm bed and going
to an open window, lias been the death of mul
titudes.
A lady heard the cry of fire at midnight; It j
was bitter cold ; il «aa so near, the flames illu- |
minuted her chamber. She left the bed, and
hoisted the Window; the cold chilled her In nj
moment. From that hour until death, a guar-1
ter of u century lulor, she never sew a well day. \
A young lady went to her window in her night (
clothes, to look at something In the street, lean- 1
ing her unprotected arms on the stone window, i
sill, winch was dump and cold. She became an I
invalid, and will remain so lor life. j
Sir Thomas Colby, being In a profuse sweat ,
one night, happened to remember that ho had
ieft the key ol his wino collar on the parlor ta
ble and tearing his servants might improve the
inudvertance and drink some at his wine, he lull
his bed, walked downstairs; the sweating pro
cess was checked, from which ho died in a few
days, leaving six millions of dollars in English
funds. Ills illness was so brief and violent that
ho bad no opportunity lo make his will, and his
linnlense six i

The great practical lesson which' wo wish io'j
impress upon the mind of the reader is this ;
when yon nro perspiring freely, keep in motion
until you got too good Are. or to some place
where you are perfectly sheltered from any draft
of air whatever. — Hiil'i Journal of Iltallh.
