Troublo.
Trouble in tho foe of aninn'a ponoe
of ruitnl lnt half of our tronhlog

not an bail m they anuiu, and most
of tli cm aro only mints of pnasing
clouds. Wti nliould truat our trou
bloi as we would intruders into our
linuHoa put ttium out and lock the
door against them. When men arc
worn out by over-work, or aro sick,
then trouble ham tho advantage.
At !
such times, a m.tn'a friends aliould
contrive, moans of diversion to llntl
out ways of rest. There is no butlor
reliof for troublo than travel ami now
scenos. When inon begin to feel
that bnsinoss and caro are robbing
them of Bleep, and each day increas
es the burden, they should put tho
will in exorciso and throw them off
or put themselves in tho hands of
their physician and oloy his direc
tions, it is suicide for thorn to go
ou after they begin to feel the grind
ing action of work on tho bod.' and
brain. Rut precaution is in 'using
meuns of prevention. Oivo a cortaiu
number of lours each day to active
employment, nnd never nllow your
work to b-ouk over tho bonds. 1 uko
a portion of your timo for recreation.
Make real, solid enjoyment your mo
dicinn. Abovo all, interdict every
thing that rv ill tax, excite, or exhaust

hen troublo drives sloop from the
eyelids and gloomy, depressed feel
ings possess the miud, it is high tune
for a man to pause nml find relief,
fur there is no telling what such a
condition will lead to unless over
come There is danger iu going on
after tbe strain begins to tell ou the
health, for every- turn of tbo ma
chinery bringi, the filial crash nearer.
There ore events that coiuo, ami are
liable to come in every man's life,
which ho cannot foresee, and over
which ho has no control But men
should be liko marinors, who do not
know whether tho winds will bo fair
or foul, but they go prepared for
whatever may come, bo it calm or
storm. Nor do they givo tip the
ship until sho goes down. Men should
treat trouble in this wav, and never
give up until death fillers and tells
thura tho voyage is oudud.
Importance of the Bath.
Now that tho exoessivo heat of tho
weather is upon us, to plunge into the
cool water and there iudulgo in a re
freshing bath is greatly to bo desired.
This may not be within tlio Hnvcr of
all, especially thoso living iu the city.
But those dwelling ill tho country,
who aro located where there is plenty
of water ut hand, wo adviso to tuko
advanlago of it.
Cleanliness is oue of tho virtues that
should be cultivated ; but to bathe
frequently in the pure, and limpid wa
ters that spring from the earth and
run from tho brooks, is to add com
fort, enjoymout, and indood happi
ness. Every one who can iu any
way command the means should
batho frequently i but ovon this en -
joyinout may be indulged iu to ex
cess, and wo would bonce not recom
mend it more than onco, or duriug
tbe very hot woathor twico iu twenty
four hours.
Many poi sons mako a groat mis-.
take in sitting on tbo bank of a rivor
or pond beforo plunging in, bo as to
cool oil' i neither should they plunge
into the water when very much heat
ed- they should avoid both extremes.
lint much loss risk will be run to
bathe when the body is somewhat
boated, than when it is perfectly
cool.
The boat time for swimming is be
fore breakfast, or betwouu tho hours
of seven and eight iu the morning,
luring the months of May, Juno,
J uly, August, and a part of Septem
ber. Bathing may safely enough be
indulged iu in tbe middle of the day
but then you should keep out of the
sun as mucli as possible, or it may
burn your nock and shoulders, and
thus take away tho pleasure of your
bath.
' The sea is tho best place to swim
in; ruuniug rivers and Ibe brook are
next to be chosen; and tbe still, dull
pond tlio last. In this the water bo
coiuos too warm, and it wants the
freshnoss of the running stream of
tbe oceau. Water soou becomes
stagnant, anil measurably offensive,
if it is not subject to motion. Tbe
purifying process affords an interest
ing subject for thought and reflec
tion. ' Much of tho water usod and
drunk bv the iieoule of our city bas
boon discharged from tbe dye-houses
iIa. a r . I i... . i 1 .
at iuuuuYuii u.i.Y n w uuurs uo
fore it is pumped up into the reservoir
from which it is distributed, aed yet
by being mixed with purer streams,
aod having been filtered by a-morely
natural process, it is estimated as
comparatively pure. Rathe, then,
in the running stream when you can.

od quito recently that tho property
was encumbered to nucu un extent
Unit they were likely to be deprived
of it ull. This discovery, as may bo
supposed, filled them with sadness
and anxiety, and they were seated iu
siletico, unable to read, to converse,
to work, to do anything but brood
over their groat misfortune.
While they were thus occupied
with siimbro thoughts, a buggy
drove up in front of tho bouse, and
a man alighted, und tho buggy drove
away.
Tho man must have boon u little

from bis gray hairs, although bis

his munneis indicated briskness as
well as precision. In one hand he
carried a small valise, and in the
uthor uu umbrella, an 1 ho stopped
quickly to tho door and rang the
bull. In a fuw minutes bo was ush

'Wo aio happy to meet you," mur

"that wo uend assistance and advieo,
and that we have not known to

'Very well. It is a good thing,
no doubt, that I have come. Now,
sit dowu ami tell mo all about it."
Clara Merwiu, who was tho older
of tho orphans, and loader in ovory
thing, told how sho and her siutor
had taken out letters of odmiuistra
tiou upon their father's estate, when
a man of whom thoy had never be

sum of forty thousand dollars. Not

attempting to sell anything, be bad
tied up their money in bank, leaving
them absolutely penniless. Thoy had
used thoir credit, but tradesmen were
becoming impatient, and sonio had
refused to supply thorn any further,
without pay.
"That is a bad caso," said Mr.

he forced it upon lmr in such a way

Tub Last NiuuroN livitrn. There
is something perfectly awful in tho
contemplation of tho last night on
earth to a mail doomed to be execu
ted on to morrow.
A natural death can bo limited for
ward with very different feelings. J t
is known to bo inevitable, aud wo do
not regard it as anything which we
havo brought upon ourselves.
I ail fc a person sentenced to bo oo
onted for a crime with what terri
ble remorse, with what bitterness
and intensity of regret must ho re
call tho unfortunate fatal act for
which ho is to sulfur.
Ho now realises, which he did not
at tho timo of its commission, how
it involves others as well as himself,
and bow toi rililo was bis mistake.
Hois closely watuho 1, not so
much t prevent escape, which is
known to bo impossiblo, as to guard
against tho possibility of suieido
Si If-iteslritction ! it lias eonio to tins
p:iss at last, that tho olllcers of the
law act upon tho presumption that a
man will take his own life, if bo can to
avoid tho execution iu tho presence of
witnesses, -providod by the la w I
Is it not dreadful to think of such a
condition I
Tho weary hours weary with the
fearful anxiety but ipiiekitt thought
iu her passage, because tho nro H )

he sleep, it is probably to dream of
death on tho gallows. If ho wake,
it is but to Und his dream tho dioad
shadow of tho reality.
