Slaking use particularly of certain an
nual death rates which havo keen kept in
Sweden since 1774, Dr. Arthur Itansome,
an eminent physician of Manchester, finds
in them "Internal evidenco of accuracy in
tho characteristic peculiarities of the
courso of each disease," and holds that
"they bear amplo witness lo tlio fact of tho
regular succession of epedemics in distinct
cyclical periods." His past predictions ol
epidemic cycles, of various diseases, it is
said, have subsequently been very general
ly verified, thus adding much strength to
his theory.

Tho other is that kind which appears best

Tlieso (tiller widely ill diameter. Uno is u
moth, consuming everything about her: the
other is a sunbeam, inspiring life und clad
ncss an along ner nainway, it is not, your
neat dress, vour expensive shawl, or vour
pretty fingers that attract tho attention bf
men of sense. They look beyond, these.
Fools may bo won by gew-gaivs nndrfash
ionablo. showy dresses; but tho wiso and
substantial aro never caught by such traps.
It is tho true loveliness ol your nature that
wins and continues to retain tlio allcction ol
tho heart. Young ladies sadly miss it who
labor to improve their outivurd looks, While
they bestow not n thought on their minds.
JNcaily every woman can "make up" so ns
lo present un attractive appearance: but a
truly beautiful woman never looks so well
as when sho is simply dressed. Let modesty,
genuine iiimincss 01 neon, pleasant ami
agreeable language charucterizo your actions,
and, nlthouch you may nut bo council by
lops and dandies, tlio good and truly great
will love to linger in your steps.
While we are on tins subject, we must call
the attention of the young ladies In another
imint Unit characterizes their cocxl breeding
mill sell-respect and lady like behavior, as
innso we nave already spoiten ol. it is mis:
Don't en to church and act ns If you had

country, by civinji the preacher tho lie, get

disgrace a mvnge.
What we havo said in reference to girlsj
win partly apply to boys also, liutwoue-
siro to make eomo special remarks to the
latter. Of all the love affairs in the world,
none can surpass tho truo love of a big boy
for liis mother. It is a pure love, noblo nn'l
Honorable in tno highest degree to both, w
do not mean merely a dutiful affection. We
mean a love which makes a buy gallant and
courteous to his mother, saving to everybody
plainly that he is fairly in love with her.
Next to tlio love of a husband, nothing so
crowns a woman s llio witn honor as the
second love this dovotion of son to her.
And we never knew a boy to turn out badly
who began by hilling in love with his mother.
Any man may tan in lovo with a iresu
faced girl i may cruelly neglect the worn
and weary wile; but the hoy who is lover
to his mother, in her middle age, old age, or
n any other condition, isa true knight, who
will love His wife as much in tho sere-lcalcd
autumn as iu daisied spring-time.
