[From Moore's RaralNew Yorker.] Helen 3orse—A Sketch. BY HOWE BENNIfTG. I would like to teli you of Helen Morse, but first of her home. A tiny log cabin, sheltered in a western, forest,- where all summer long the. fragrant breath of the piiie3 stole in at the ever* open door and small casements, -and which in winter seemed almost like one of its own lowlier children. To this tiny home Jacob Morse had brought his bride many years before, and though its logs had taken a deeper tint from the weather, and one or two' 1 lean-tos had been added, it was ‘ still their home. Beside , Helen there . were Mary and Fred, Julia, Lewis, and‘Kitty, to make music and miochiei m the house and friends of the wood sprites. But Helen was unlikeall the others. A child of the most vivid imagination anddaringdeeds,impulBive, willful, loving and ambitious, ; she was one ot those strange contradictions that, the fates occasionally give to puzzle us— one that makes out hearts ache, wecan not tell why, and; that we love for the same reason. Her great brown' eyes found the loneliest dells in-the forest and peopled them with children of her brain, and to them, only she committed .the charge of her most, secret thoughts —of her dreams for the life in the grea>, world that seemed such a bright vision. This was Helen as she met her young companions in the. dearly loved school, room, or stoop at the western window of ; her home at twilight, pencil in hand. The healthy breezes of her evergreen home gave a rich color to her cheeks and a buoyant strength to her frame, and sj through the shoals and quicksands that beset every young girl Helen grew into a noble, true-hearted woman. Notin a day. Many was the stern contest and many the failure before the conscious ness that she possessed herself was hers, You have seen a boat shoot the rapids, perhaps, turning, trembling, but riding' in the quiet haven at last—and many, know what this experience is to the soul, before in the still waters the voice of the Divine Master has quelled, we cast anchor and learn “to ;be, satisfied.”, In this rest Helen and though her work was bounded by narrow walls, yet she brought to it, all the earnest impulses of her childhood’s days matured into life purposes. And when she had planted many a precious memory in the hearts of her school chil dren, she turned her face from them and joined that noble band of women who, for love or duty, have sought in the sunny South and its bark-browed chil dren to fulfill the last command of their Master. Two years of such life as fitted her to bear the name of a valiant soldier, and the armor was'laid by and she passed within the veil. Southern seas sound as grand an anthem as ever the pine forest, and Helen sleeps welL Do you ask, “Why so common a story?” To you it may' be, bat'to that young soul standing to-day on the threshold of the yet untried life, there will speak a voice of what grand possi bilities may yet be its own, and save it from that saddest of all dooms,“a wasted life.” And to that soul we say, would you win the crown- of perfect woman hood, you must work for it through the years that lie between, though your way lies-at the foot of the cross and you grow weary in the race—work for it until the throbs of your earnest life wake manyother souls from fatal sleep and fit them for His jewels. Then, and not till then, comes your perfect rest. Kress as a Cause of Disease; In tins age, when dress occupies so much of the attention of society, the in fluence of costume on the bodily condi tion becomes an important matter of in quiry. Improper inodes of dress, whether ex cessive or inadequate, are fertile sources of disease, and also aggravate an abnor mal, state of the system by whatever cause produced. If in our desire to keep the body warm_ we bverlbad it with layers of thick, closely-woven fabric, and thus promote an. undue heat at the surface, the effect is to suppress tbe ac tion of the excretory glands and prevent a free perspiration. The vitiated matter which is thus retained is reabsorbed by the skin and carried back into the sys tem, rendering-' the blood impure add deranged the delicate-mechanism of the glandular structure; Air and light are absolutely necessary for the healthy ac tivity, of the vesicles of the skin, and those,. articles of clothing which pre vent the admission of these two great vital agents are entirely unfit for use. ; As a free circulation of the blood to alTparts of the human body is requisite to the enjoyment of perfect health, so no part of the body should be dressed in such a manner as in the least to ob struct or retard its flow. Tight boots, shoes or gloves are therefore detrimental. Cold extremities, painful humora,swell ings and callosities are generally the re sults of such ligatures. Insufficient clothing is much . worse than too much; The effect of exposure to cold is the immediate contraption of the skin, which suspends the operation of the-secretory and excretory organs, and the matter which should be dis charged from thesystem is thrown back into the throat, lungs or bowels, occa sioning those forms of disease which are commonly called “cold;” “headache,” “catarrh,” diarrhce'a,” etc. f A change of dress from thick to thin is not beneficial unless accompanied by a corresponding change in climate or temperature. A fashionable lady after wearing a thick, high-necked dress all day, will sometimes array herself, in some light, low-necked attire for an evening party. Such an imprudent change has frequently been followed by a sudden death. Head-coverings at the present day are evidently worn by ladies for display, and not for comfort: and we are not surprised when we heir this or that one complain of “such dis tress in the head” or “neuralgia.” - A hat, to afford real protection to the head, should be large enough to cover the greater part of it, and . at. the same time be comfortably warm, but not so heavy as to .fatigue the Wearer after half au hour's use. But the most serious feature in the tupss of American ladies is tight lacing, aipractiee most unnatural, and therefore most dangerous to health. Does any oneAoubtthe prevalence of this custom, let Jhim consult _ the . fashion-plates . ia any> popular ladies’, magazine, s , -How women, servilely obedientto the sugges tions of their dressmaker, or else grusSly ignorant Of the first principles of health, ; have squeezed themselves to death; the great day of account only will disclose'. , The record must be appalling, and yet the suicidal work goes on.
