Love is measured bat by this Burning pain of Jealousy : Love that feels no fear at all Would not be the lore for me.

YollsWrr and Koniweaii. Everybody in the full tide of the eigh teenth century bad something to do with oltaire, from serious personages, like I redenck the (treat and T argot, down to the sorriest poetaster who sent his verses to be corrected or bepraised. Uonsseau'a debt to him in the days of his unformed youth we have already seen, as well as the courtesies with which they approached one another when Kicuelieu employed the straggling musician to make some modifications in the great man's unconsidered oourt pieoe. Neither of them then dreamed that their two names were destined to form the great literary antithesis of the century. In the ten years that elapsed between their first interchange of letters and their first fit of coldness, it must have been tolerably clear to either of them, if either of them gave thought to the matter, that their dissidence was increasing and likely to increase. Their methods were different, their training different, their points of view different. and, above all these things, their tem peraments were different by a whole heaven a breadth. A great number of excellent and pointed Half-truths have been uttered by various persons in illustration of all these contrasts, as that the philosophy of Voltaire is that of the happy, while ilousseau is the philosoper of the un happy : that Voltaire steals away their faith from those who doubt, while Ilousseau Btrik.es doubt into the mind of the unbeliever ; that the gayety of the one saddens, while the sadness of the other consoles. If we pass from the marked divergence in the tendencies of the work of these two extraordinary writers, which is imperfectly hinted at in such sayings as these, to the diver gence between them in all the fundamen tal conditions of intellectual and moral life, the variation which divided the revolutionary stream into two channels, flowing broadly apart, through unlike regions and climates, down to the great aea, is intelligible enough. Voltaire was the arch-representative of all those elements in contemporary thought, its curiosity, irreverence, intrepidity, vi vaoiousness, rationality, to which, af we have so often had to say, Rousseau's temperament and his Geneves spirit made him profoundly antipathetic. He was the great high-priest, robed in the dazzling vestments of poetry, and philosophy, and history, of that very religion of knowledge and art which Rousseau declared to be the destrovet of the felicity of men. The glitter hat faded away from Voltaire's philosophi al raiment since those days, and hit laurel-bough lies little leafless. Thu cannot make us forget that he was in Jbia day and generation one of the sover eign emancipators, because be awoke one dormant set of energies, just as Ilousseau presently came to awake an other set. Each was a power, not merely by virtue of some singular pre-eminence of understanding or mysterious un shared insight of his own, but for the reason that no partial and one-sided di rection can permanently satisfy the manifold aspirations and faculties of the human mind in the great average of common men, to whom exceptional thinkers speak, whom they influence, and by whom, as a painter or dramatist is, they are in turn influenced, de pressed, or buoyed up. Voltaire's men tal constitution made him eagerly ob jective, a seeker of true things, quiver ing for action, admirably sympathetic with ail life and movement, a spirit restlessly traversing the whole world. Rousseau, for different from this, saw in himself a reflected microcosm of the outer world, and was content to take that instead of the outer world, and for its truest version. He made his own moods the premises from which he de duced a system of life for humanity, and, so far as humanity has shared his moods or some parts of them, his system was true and has been accepted. Xo him the bustle of the outer world was only a hinderance to that process of self-absorption, which was his way of interpreting life. Accessible only to interests of emotion and sense, he was saved from intellectual sterilily, and made eloquent, by the vehemence of his emotion and the fire of his senses. He was a master-example of sensibility, as Voltaire was a master-example of clear eyed penetration. This must not be taken for a rigid piece of mutually exclusive division, for the edges of character are not cut exactly sharp, as words are. Especially when any type is intense, it seems to meet and touch its opposite. J ast as Voltaire's piercing activity and sound ness of intelligence made him one of the hnmanest of men, so Roussesu's emotional susceptibility endowed him with the gift of a vision that carried far into the social depths. It was a very early criticism on the pair, that Voltaire wrote on more subjects, but that Rous seau was the more profound. In truth one was hardly much more profound than the other. Rousseau had the sonorousness of speech which popular confusion of thought is apt to identify with depth. And he had seriousness. If profundity means the quality of see ing to the heart of subjects, Rousseau had, in a general way, rather less of it than the shrewd-witted crusher of the Infamous. What the distinction really amounts to is that Rousseau had a strong feeling for certain very impor tant aspects of human life, which Voltaire thought very little about, or never thonght about at all, and that, while Voltaire was concerned with poe try, history, literature, and the more ridiculous parts of the religious super stition of his time, Rousseau thought about social justice, and duty, and Qod, and the spiritual consciousness of men, with a certain attempt at thoroughness and system. As for the substance of his thinking, as we have already seen in the "Discourses,' and shall soon have an opportunity of seeing still more clearly, it was often as thin and hollow as if he had belonged to the company of the epigrammatical, who, after all, have far less of monopoly of shallow thinking than is often supposed. The prime merit of Rousseau, in comparing him with the brilliant chief of the rationalistic school of the time, in his reverence ; reverence for moral worth in however obscure intellectual com pany, forthedignityof human character and the loftiness of duty, for some of those cravings of the human mind after the divine and incommensurable, which may indeed often be content with solu tions proved by long time and slow ex perience to be inadequate, but which are closely bound up with the highest elements of nobleness of soul. Apple tun Journal. CariralnreN in I.nllirr'M Hay. When Lnther legan the important part of his public career in 1517, by nailing to the church door his ninety five theses against the sale of indulgen ces, wood engraving was an art which had been practiced nearly a century. He found also as we have seen, a public accustomed to satirical writings illustrated by wood-cuts. The great Holbein illustrated Erasmus J raie of Foil;). Brandt's Ship of Fool, as well as the litter of works which it called forth, was even profusely illus trated. Caricatures as distinct works, though usually accompanied with abundant verbal commentary, were familiar objects. Among the curiosi ties which Luther himself bronght from Rome in 1510, some years before he began his special work, was a carica tnre suggested by the Ship of Fool-, showing how the Pope had fooled the whole world by his snperstitions and idolatries." He showed it to the Prince Elector of Saxony at the time. The picture exhibited a little ship filled with monks, friars and priests casting lines to persons in the sea, while in the stern sat comfortable the Pope with his cardinals and bishops, overshadowed and covered by the Holy Ghost, who was looking up to heaven, and through whose help alone the drowing wretches were saved. In talking about the picture many years after, Luther said, "These and the like fooleries we then believed as articles of faith." He bad not reached the point when he could talk at his own table of the cardinal as "peevish milk sops, effeminate, unlearned blockheads whom the Pope places in the kingdoms where they lie lolling iu kings' courts amrng the ladies and women." Finding this weapon of caricature ready made to his hands, he used it freely, as did also his friends and foes. He was himself a caricaturist. When Pope Clement VI L seemed disposed to meet the reformers half-way, and pro posed s council to that end, Luther wrote a pamphlet ridiculing the scheme and to give more force to his satire he "caused a picture to be drawn and placed iu the title-page. It was not a work describable to the fastiduous ears of our century, unless we leave part of the description in Latin. The Pope was seated on a lofty throne surrounded by cardinals having foxes' tails, and seeming "sursion tl dc&rsum repur- gare, in the laule lain we read also of a picture being brought to Luther in which the Pope and Judas were represented banging to the purse and keys, "Twill vex the Pope horribly said Luther, "that he whom emperor s and kings have worshipped should now be figured hanging upon his own pick locks." Harper' Magazine. What hfReatrffd. The anecdote, related ot John Jacob Astor, as follows, may be known to many of our readers: In a public con veyance, on a certain occasion, Mr. Astor overheard a young man express ine the wish that he could posses 'that old man's wealth,' wliereupou Mr. A. turned to the speaker, and said to hint, J "Yotinjr man, I sometimes feel weary, I and would trladly throw oil' my load. tor what wiil you take charge of my business, and take care of my property, watchini; with ever-viirilant eye that there le no leak no mistake; and at the end of each quarter rendering up a clear and sure balance sheet P The youiis nianoiiencd wide his eyes. He knew not what to say. Said Mr. Astor. "If you are callable, and will do this, I will pay you your absolute uecessary expenses ot living. As may lie supposed, the youuir man expressed his surprise in his looks, observing which the old merchant simply added "That' all I get." Thiod.1t way Ftii k can get over kit single b'esse-'ness is to Bridge-it, ASlTCn.Tn.lL. Preserving Posts. Every farmer who bss to fence bis land knows too well how quickly posts planted in the earth become rotten, especially in a damp spot. All of them will welcome the following process to prevent rotten ness, a process as wonderful in its ef fects as it is simple and almost costless. It is taken from Le Bien Public Dijon, France. Take linseed oil, boil it and mix it with charcoal dust until the mixture has the consistency of ordinary paint Oive the posts single coat of the mixture or paint before painting them; and no farmer, even living to the age of patriarchs of old, will live long enough to see the same posts rotten. "Some years ago I discovered the way of rendering wood more durable in the earth than iron itself," says the author of the communication, "but it seems to me so simple, and so inexpen sive, that I did not think it worth while to make much ado or fuss about it. Posts of soft wood thus prepared were removed after remaining seven years in the earth, and were found as sound as when they were planted. The only precaution to take is to use well-dried posts before covering them with charcoal paint." The above receipt is certainly cheap, and seems to be well worth the triaL If what is said of the efficiency of that simple and cheap (about two cents a post) process be only half true, cer tainly it would save yearly millions of dollars to the farmers and telegraph companies. For it is said that the farmer, even in bis teens, who will plant posts hsving received a coat of "perpetuity post paint," will never live long enough to see the same posts rotten. Thb Orchard. A Massachusetts correspondent came into possession a few years since of thriftless orchard, a portion of which especially was in a miserable condition, some of the trees showing dead spots on the trunk, and diseased branches everywhere. His remedy was simple, and according to his statement, very effective. He ap plied to the surface of the soil a mix ture composed of "sea-drift from the marshes, sods from the bogs, and all kinds of trash," for the purpose of smothering out the tall grass, and thus changing it from robber of nourish ment to a valuable fertilizer. Around some of the trees he applied loam six or eight inches in depth. His treat ment has succeeded in producing fruit, as well as securing a fine growth of wood, both evidences of returning health in the trees. He relates also his experience with one tree that was nearly gone, the bark being dead all around the trunk excepting for the space of four inches, snd the branches mostly dead. He rut away the dead bark and limbs carefully, and applied fresh manure to the trunk, keeping it in position by tying cloths around, which assisted a complete coating of nice young bark to take the place of the old diseased covering. A trench twelve inches in width and the same in depth was dug in a circle around the trunk, and six feet distant from it, into which be put a compost of manure and leaves. This treatment has entirely rejuvenated the sickly tree, and has encouraged him to try it on others. Space in Pxastwo Cobs. There is more or less disagreement as to the distance that corn should be planted apart, and the number of stalks in a hill. Good crops are realized from three and a half feet planting, three to four stalks in a hilt, Better have been grown, as I have witnessed, with the rows four feet apart, including the hills, (which makes the space between the hills about three and a half feet), with three to four stalks in the hill, the difference in this case being mainly in the greater number of ears grown, usually two to stalk, and large at that, the larger space between the hills giving chance for the sun and air to circulate. I have also witnessed a growth of corn where the space be tween them was but half that last mentioned. It was on soil which for several years had grown large crops of carrots, and was specially favorable to corn, being black, highly manured and deeply rich, a well drained alluvial de posit. There resulted an immense growth of stalks, but no corn, although it was the intention of the owner, con fidently expressed, to raise an unusu ally superior crop. It was a failure, save in the amount of fodder it made. In that it paid, so great was the growth. We want the sun and fresh air in our corn as in our fruit trees. That re sult being secured, we can plant as close as we please, Country Gentle man. Cakpiso Cows. Most farmers (or many, and we would like to say all) keep curry-combs, cards, brushes and the like in the horse barn and use them daily, but how many cows thronghout the country ever bad a card or brush applied to their dirty sides ? The dairy cows come out of the stables in the spring, looking more filthy than the swine in the gutter. Docs it pay to keep the cattle clean ? Ask any intelligent farmer if it pays to use the brush on his horses, and then ask him to point out a reason why it does not pay equally well to give the cows the same attention and care. Preservation op Cut Pavtno Bricks. According to experiments made in Stuttgart, it was found that bricks that had been coated three times with linseed oil were less smeary from wear, in wet weather, as well as more free from dust in summer, then those that had not been so treated. The cheaper petroleum residues were also employed instead of the linseed oiL Saturation of paving bricks, sand stone, Arc, about manufactories with hot tar is also highly recommended where the black colour is not object ionable. As Oregon butcher tells how to pre pare an alcohol barrel for the safe re ception of meat to be corned. "Re move both heads and burn out the in side. Then replace one head and put in few pails of boiling water, cover np, and let steam for an hour or two, when the barrel is ready for use." Another correspondent cleansed an oil barrel for the same purpose by pouring in a pailful of boiling water, adding a pint of sulphuric acid, and after a minute or two putting in the bung and rolling about for a abort space of time. XrMBER of Shingles Required for a Roof. Find the number of square inches in one side of the roof ; cut off the right band or unit figure, and the remit will be the number of shingles reqiired to cover both sides of the roof, laying five inches to the weather. The ridge-board provides for the double courses at the bottom. Illustration Length of roof, 100 feet ; width of one side, thirty feet 100x30x144 132.000. Cutting out the right hand figure, we have 43,200 as the number of shingles required. How to Imfbovi Cork. A corres pondent with regard to the improve ment of the corn, says, "Plant early on the ground you have. Plant but two kernels to the hill, or at least let only that number of stalks mature. Manure liberally, cultivate thoroughly. This treatment will give a tendency to produce two or more ears to the stalk. Again, plant all such double ears. Continue this for a number of years, and the result will be a new variety of corn, and very prolific." Pusr corn enough to insure the raising of your own bacon. sxtestttic. Isterksttso Facts in Phtsioloot. Why do some substances taste sweet, others sour, others salt, Ac ? It is be lieved that the impressions of taste arise from the various forms of the atoms of matter presented to the nerves of the tongue. Why if we put a nub of sugar to the tip of the tongue has it no taste f Be cause the gustatory nerves are not dis tributed to that part of the tongue. Why do we feel ? Because there are distributed to various parts of the body fine filaments, which have for their spe cial duty the transmission to the brain of impressions made upon them by con tact with substances. In what parts of the body does the sense of touch more especially reside ? In the points of the fingers and in the tongue. Why do persons whose legs and arms have been amputated fancy they feel the toes or fingers of the amputated limb ? Because the nervous trunk which form erly conveyed impressions from those extremities remains in the part of the limb attached to the body. The mind has been accustomed to refer the im pulses received through that nervous trnnk to the extremity where the sen sation arose ; and now that the nerve has been cut, the painful sensation caused thereby is referred to the ex tremity which the nerve supplied, and the sufferers for a time appear to con tinue to feel the part which they have lost. Why do we perspire? Because the skin is filled with very minute pores which act as outlets for a portion of the blood that serves to moisten and cool the surface of the body, and to carry away some of the matter no longer needed in the system. How is the perspiration formed ? By very small glands which lie embedded in the skin. It is estimated that there are about 2,700,000 perspiratory glands over the surface of the body, and that these glands find outlets for their secre tion through no less than seven millions of pores. What is insensible perspiration ? In sensible perspiration is that transmis sion of watery particles through the skin which is constantly going on, but which takes place so gently that it can not be perceived. It is, however, very important in its results, as no less than from twenty to thirty-three ounces of water may pass imperceptibly through the skin in twenty-four hours. What is sensible perspiration ? Sen sible perspiration is that moisture which exudes upon the skin in drops large enough to be perceptible, when the body is heated by exercise or other means. The Etfs in Deep-Sea Creatttbes. In bis "Notes from the Challenger," Wyville Thomson says : The absence of eyes in many deep-sea animals and their full development in others is very remarkable. I have mentioned the case of one of the stalk-eyed crustaceans, l'.thuxa granulata, in which well-developed eyes are present in examples from shallow water. In deeper water, from 110 to 370 fathoms, eye-stalks are present, but the animal is apparently olind, the eyes being replaced by rounded, calcareous terminations to the stalks. In examples from 500 to 700 fathoms, in another locality, the eye stalks have lost their special character, have become fixed, and their termina tions combine into a strong, pointed rostrum. In this case we have a gradual modification, depending apparently upon the gradual diminution and final disappearance of solar light. On the other hand Alttnida, from equal depths, has its eyes unusually developed, and apparently of great delicacy. Is it possible that in certain cases, as the sun's light diminishes, the power of vision becomes more acute, while at length the eye becomes susceptible of the stimnlus of the fainter light of phosphorescence ? The Latest Xoveltt in Paper. In asmuch as paper has been made avail able for the manufacture of almost every variety of furniture and articles of dress, it is passing strange that paper coffins should have been left till this late day nnthonght of. The under taker is certainly not an enterprising party. Trnuk makers have long been credited with using all the unsalable printed books ; but at the present rate of production, where every traveler supplied with a van load of these trou blesome imirdimrnta to traveling, such a stock would remain that all the bookshelves in the world would not contain a tithe of them. To further reduce the stock, a manufacturer out West proposes to supply every jonr neyer, to that bourne whenoe no trav eler returns, with a last trunk made of papirr tnavhc, waterproofed with as phaltum. A Safett Lioht. A contrivance, said to be used by the watchmen of Paris in all places where inflammable or explosive matter is stored or used, is constructed in the following manner : Into an oblong vial of clear glass a piece of phosphorus about the size of a pea is put, and the vial then filled one-third full of olive oil heated to the boiling point, after which it is sealed her metically. To obtain light the cork is removed to allow the influx of air, after which it is replaced, and the empty space becomes luminous, with a radi ance equal to that of a lamp. If the light grows dim, more air is admitted. In cold weather it is sometimes neces sary to warm the vial a little to increase the fluidity of the oiL It is said that a vial prepared in this manner may be used six months without replenishing. Petroletx in Aloiers. A petroleum well, capable of giving a large and pay ing yield, has recently been discovered in Algiers, neer the plain of Cheliff. The substance looks like tar, is soft and very tenacious, melts in boiling water, and dissolves in turpentine. It burns with a very bright name, and yields a large variety of products and consider able carbonaceous residue on distilla tion. It is neither tar, naphtha, bitu men, nor asphalt, but seems to possess the properties of all, in a measure. It has most characteristics in common with naphtha, bat, unlike that sub stance, is almost completely insoluble in alcohoL Ltett. Caxeron's survey map of Lake Tanganyika has reached England. It gives the entire coast line of this inland sea. It is said that in some parts it differs somewhat from Living stone's map ; but the chief novelty, the outlet to the lake discovered by Cam eron, is bud down with great clearness and is shown as issuing as a well marked river, from the bottom of a broad bight in the western shore. This msp is being engraved, and will be issued with the next number of the proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society. According to recent investigations by M. Cailletet, the results of burning sulphide of carbon, alcohol, and car buret of hydrogen, under pressures reaching thirty-five atmospheres, are that the flame augments considerably in brilliancy, while the combustibility of the substance burned is notably diminished. In South America and Australia it is stated that the immersion of hides for twenty-four hours in a two per cent, solution of carbolic acid, and subse quently drying them, has been success fully substituted for the more tedious and expensive process of salting. Battery carbons can be readily cut with a handsaw moistened with water. Bonsnc. TJsxfcIi Hints. In hanging paper, first pumicestone the wall and wash with size made of once ounce of glue to a gallon of water. ' See that the paste has no lumps and that the back of the paper is covered with it for fully ten minutes before hanging. It is said that lining the walls, ceil ing, and windows of a cellar with four or five thicknesses of old newspapers, pasted on with strong size, will prevent roots and other articles stored therein from freezing. Save the inner white bosks for mat tresses. Dry them in a clean, airy place. Xo need to strip them fine. Use them whole and they will answer the purpose better than straw. In dealing with furniture, remember to keep water away from everything soluble therein, oil from everything porous, alcohol from varnish, and acids from marble. Water window plants with tepid water, and wash the leaves often. A thick paste of strong gum arabio, into which plaster of Paris is stirred. makes an excellent china cement. Ap ply with a brush and let the articles stand three days. Preserve eggs by a quick dipping in boiling water, and packing in fresh salt, small end down. To Japan old tea trays, scrub clean with soap and water and rottenstone. dry, and apply copal varnish mixed with bronze powder to the denuded parts. Set in an oven at about 300 degrees, until dry. Two costs needed. How to Treat Cuts. In treating or dinary cuts,' cleanliness and care are generally more requisite than skill. If the cut be extensive, or an artery vein, or any other important part be injured, it becomes a most important matter. Accidental cuts from knives, cutting tools, scythes, etc, are more likely to occur on the face and limbs than on the body. All that is requisite in general is to bring the parts together as ac curately as possible and to bind them up ; this is usually done by adhesive plaster, when the cut ceases to bleed. Nothing is as good for this purpose as paper previously washed over on one side with thick gum water, and then dried ; when used it is only to be slightly wetted with the tongue. When the cut bleeds but little, it is well to soak the parts in warm water for a few minutes, or to keep a wet cloth on it, This removes inflammation and pain, and also a tendency to fainting, which a cut gives some persons. If the bleed ing be too copious.daub the part with a rag wetted with creosote. If the wound be large it should be sewed up. If the blood that issues be very scarlet, it may be concluded that an artery has been touched, and then, whenever the bleeding cannot be stopped, medical aid must be procured ; the best method to pursue is to bind np the wound tightly or to bold a finger strongly against the part that bleeds. Loveliness of a Good Temper. Is she not the very sparkle and sunshine of life a woman who is happy be cause she can't help it, whose smiles even the coldest sprinkle of misfortune cannot dampen. Men make a terrible mistake when they marry for beauty, for talents or for style. The sweetest wives are those who possess the magic secret of being contented under any circumstances. Rich or poor, high or low, it makes no diflerenee ; the bright .little fonntain of joy bnbbles np just as musically in their hearts. Do they live in a log cabin, the fire that leaps np on its bumble hearth becomes brighter than the gilded chandeliers in an Alad din palace. Where is the stream of life so dark and unpropitious that the sun shine of a happy face falling on the tur bid tide will not awaken an answering gleam ? Why, these joyonsly-tempered people don't know half the good they do. How Salt Fish SnorxD be Fresh ened. Many persons are in the habit of freshening mackerel or other salt fish, and never dreamed that there is a right and a wrong way to do it. Any persons who has seen the process of evaporation going on at the salt works, knows that the salt falls to the bottom. Just so it is in the pan where the mackerel or white fish lies soaking ; and as it lies with the skin side down, the salt will fall to the skin and there remain, when, if placed with the flesh side down, the salt falls to the bottom of the pan, and the fish comes out freshened as it should be. In the other case, it is nearly as salt as when put in. If you do not believe this, test the matter for yourself. Planter and Farmer. Cure for Htdrophobia. A Sixon forester named Uastelo, now eighty-two years of age, unwilling to take to the grave with him a secret of importance, has made public, in the Leipzic Jour nal, the means he has used for fifty years, wherewith he affirms he has saved many hundred human beings and cattle from the fearful death of hydrophobia : Take immediately warm vinegar or tepid water, wash the wound clean with it and wipe dry, then ponron the wound a few drops of hydrochloric acid, as mineral acids destroy the poison of the saliva, by which means the latter is neutralized. Beet Cider. M. Plouard, a lawyer of Andelys, France, has invented a new cider, said to be very cheap and of ex cellent flavor the peculiarity of which is that a large proportion of sugar beets is mixed with the apples before pressing; 80TTi. of beets are mixed with 700 quarts of apples, or about 11 lbs. to 100 quarts. The beets and apples are pressed together, then saturated with water, left quiet in a cellar for twenty four hours, and pressed anew. This is repeated seven times. The inventor says he makes 100 quarts of cider for 80 cents, which seems rather questiona ble. The yellow spots produced by nitric acid may be removed from brown or black woolen goods, while fresh, by re peadedly dipping them into a concen trated solution of permanganate potash, and then washing with water. The yellow spots on the hands may be re moved in the same way, the brown stain produced by the permanganate being removed by an aqueous solution of sulphurio acid. Old strains cannot be removed by any process. Remedt for Cuts and Abrasions of the Skin. Take a live coal, pulverize it, apply to the wound, and cover the whole with a rag. The charcoal ab sorbs all the secretions, and is antisep tic. Quinine in powder may be used instead, as it possesses most of the vir tues of charcoal, and is, beside, astrin gent and tonic, and gives a white fcab instead of a black one. Curb for Fever ani AGuawTake boneset, wild cherry bark, and popular bark ; make an infusion by adding a quart of warm water; let it cool, and drink whan thirsty.

Household Skeletons. IU own :h in th start that nW household has a skeleton in the closet. There may be some households that haven t one. but the majority will plead . rnr skeleton arises from the fact that 1 h.. b. Ka nnt late at niffht. and Mrs. Quad contends that one can t be out after nine o'clock without being after some eviL Regular as clock work, every night at midnight, when I enter the house she raises np on her elbow in bed. and sava : "I wish there wssn't such a thing in the world as a morning newspaper !" I nsed to sit down and try to show her by figures and statistics that the several thousand morning dailies in the United States alone are worth ever so many million dollars to the public ; but I have become so hardened that now I merely give the coal stove a shake, kick off my boots, bide my wallet where she can't find it in the morning before I get np, and in five minutes I am asleep ami dreaming of sitting in shady bowers and listening to angels' harps- There is nothing like an honest conscience to help one to dream pleasant dreams. Bat. there was Aleott. Tears ago, in a thoughtless moment, he kissed his hired girL She was a poor orphan girl, with a broken nose, and there was no one else to kiss her. Aloott was, I verily believe, actuated by purely sympathetic motives, but his wife opened the door just in time to catch him, and his me has been rendered miserable ever since. Let him come home feeling happy and gay, and his wife rises np and searches his countenance for signs of guilt, and sneers : "Oh I you feel mighty pert, don't yon 1 I suppose yon have been kissing another broken-nosed hired girl I" That flattens him. He wilts right down at once, and funeral pall is cast over his household. And there's Bigg's. Soon after his marriage a dashing young widow wrote to him, asking certain questions about the estate of her husband, and as he hadn't time to write, he called at her house to make explanations. Some one going bv saw the shadow of bis bald- head on the curtain, and the shadow of her head close- to it, ana Airs. Briggs soon got the news. I knew Briggs was innocent, but he might as well nave been guilty. His wife holds that thing over him like a thousand pound weight. If he happens to say that it is a dark evening, or a pleasant evening, or a lovely evening, or anything of the sort, she turns up her nose and replies. ''Yes, it's a good evening for yon to go over and see the widow. And there's Bingham. He held bis umbrella over a school ma'am for half a mile one rainy day, and his wife has never let him carry an umbrella since. She'd rather he'd spoil a seven-dollar bat than give him another chance to play the bean. And there's a skeleton in the closet of the Jacksons family. She fonnd a letter in his pocket one day signed "Kit C," and altogether he held up his right hand and swore that it was Kit Carson, and that the "Think often of me," should read "Drink often with me," his wife couldn't get over it. To this day, if he is out after sundown, she is at the door to meet him and say : "How dare you come into this house after meeting that vile wretch !" ). (ptad. Some of the household recipes given in the papers are calculated to do more harm than good. Mrs. Hopson's servant-girl recently read in the paper that "potatoes should be of uniform size to cook evenly." It was more than two days before she found the meaning of "uniform," and then she went to work on half a bushel of potatoes. As she couldn't make the smallest the size of the largest, she pared down the large ones until they were as small as the smallest, and as the latter was abont the size of a walnut, she had a weak lot of potatoes by the time she had made them of uniform size, and a quart measure would have held them alL The potatoes were "short" for dinner that day, and, as an explanation and some very sharp words followed, Mrs. Hopson's servant-girl now cooks pota toes of all sizes in one pot. "How would you feel, my dear, if we were to meet a wolf?" asked an old lady of her little grandchild, with whom she was walking along a lonely country road. "Oh, grandmamma, I should be so frightened I" was the reply, 'lint I shonld stand in front of yon and protect yon," said the old lady. "Would you, grannie?" cried the child, clapping her hands with delight. "That would be nice I While the wolf was eating you I would have time to run a war." Little Johnny, writing a composition about pigs, says : "Them at fairs is sometimes so fat tht you can't tell which end it is that eats till you set a basin of grnle near by, and then it swings round and points at it like a compass. Some men spends a lot of time enrlin' their pisV tales, which is no use except to eat and is best roasted though the trotter is good too 1" At last here is a new fancy in the prestidigitation line. He borrowed a bonnet from a lady in the audience, and as he was abont to return it, it canght fire in the gas, and he had to stamp ou it with both feet to extinguish the flame. Misery of the lady I It was her best bonnet. Then be fired a pistol, and a bonnet just like it fell from the chandelier in the middle of the theatre. The Detroit Free Pre says a con templated change of Postmaster at Detroit made stamps no cheaper than before, The Detroit Tribune, however, says : "The fact that you can now buy two stamps for live cents at the Detroit Post Office is sufficient to refute this slander. One of the stamps, by the way, must be a two-cent stamp." A Frenchman having heard the word "press" made use of to signify persua sion as, press that gentleman to take something to eat took occasion one evening at a patty to use a term which he thought synonymous, and begged a friend to squeeze a young lady to sing. An asc.rt teacher was whipping a pupil, and having prolonged the exer cise far beyond the bounds of modera tion, the boy looked np, and calmly said, "Come, sir, yon must be tired, let's take a rest ;'' and he wrested the whip from the teacher's hand. "Jane, what letter in the alphabet do you like best ?" "Well, I don't like to say, Mr. Snobbs." "Pooh I nonsense I tell right out, Jane. Which do you like best?'' "Well," (blushing and dropping her eyes), "I like (u) the best." Abuv all thing, lent ynre child to be honest and ind natrons ; if these two things don't enable him to make a figger in this world, he is oniy a cypher, and never was intended for a figger.

Dyspepsia is the tniHt perplexing of all human ailments. Its symptoms are almost infinite in their variety, and the forlorn ami despondent victims of the diseaso often fancy themselves the prey, ill turn, of every known malady. This is due, in part, to the close sym pathy which exists Wtween the stom a h snd the brain, ami in part also to the fin t that any disturbance of the diKestive function necessarily disorders the liver, the Iniwels and the nervous system, and effect, to some extent, the i'ii;ilitv of the blood.

A healthy liver secretes each day olxiiit two and a half pounds of bile, which rout-tins a great amonnt of waste material taken from the blood. When the liver ln'comes torpid or con gested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious substance, which, therefore, remains to poison the blood and le conveyed to every part of the system. What must be the condition of the blood when it is receiving and retaining each day two and a haif pound of poison T Nature tries to work off this poison throneli other channels and organs the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc. ; but these organs liecome over taxed in performing this labor, in addi tion to their natural functions, and cannot long withstand the pressure, but become variously disca-cd. The brain, which is the great electri cal centre of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy blood which passes to it from the heart, ami il fails to perform its ottice healthfully. Hence the symptoms of bi'e poisoning, w hich are dullness, headache, incapa city to keep the mind on any subject, impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous fe lings, gloomy forclxi dings and irritability of teniM-r.
