THE NAME T,13.E . GRANDSIRELOYED.
So,_child, another wee: daughter
Has come, your household to share.. •
You. hadn't'enongli, of blessings,
• You hadn't enough of care ;,
So you' gave the little one welcome,
That came to your home for rest,
And folded the dimpled darling •
To your tender, loving.breast.
And now'you ask the old grandsire
What the babies name shall be ;'
'or you'll gt*e s my youngest grandchild
The name that best pleases me !
Ah; child, theies a mound in the church
- yard . •
' That' I oft bedew with my tears,
Where the :one true love of my life-time
Has rested these long, long years.
Her hair, like the sunlight, was golden
Her cheeks, like the rose, aglow:;
And her voice made cheeriest music
In, my heart long, long 110 ;
But the summons came to our fireside,
That'all who hear obey._;
• And near tha lOnely cypress
I laid my dead away. - •
Bo long alone I have journeyed,
That my hair, like the snoivis white :
Alone.through the days so shadowed. •
Alone•through the sorrowing night !
And the name that to me is dearest
Is the one that I whisper each day, -
Th‘ name of the wife so cherished •
. That the angels called away: •
You want% sweet name for your baby
There is but one sweetest, best
The name of the lassie I wedded,
The name of my wife so blest ! •
And when \ my own life is ebbing,
' And you , feel our parting draws near,
If you'd have me go home Ward rejoicing,
Just whisper_ that name in my ear.

CURES EFFECTED BY LAUGHTER.
A patient being very low, the physician, who
had ordered a. dose of` rhubarb, countermanded
it, and themedicine was left on the table. A
MO4ey in the room, jumping up, discovered
the goblet, and having tasted, made a terrible
grimace. Again putting his tongue to it, he
perceived some sweetness of the dissolved man
na, while-the rhubarb had sunk to the bottom.
Thus emboldened, he swallowed the whole, out
found it such a nauseous portion that, after
many strange and fantastic grimaces, he ground
his teeth in agony, and in vollent fury threw
the goblet on Me floor. The whole affair was
so ludicrous'that the sick man burst into re
peated peals of laughter, and the recovery of
cheerfulness led to health. •
Another Case recorded .is that two individuals I
were lying in one room very sick---one with
brain feveraud the other with an aggrayated
case of mumps. They were so low that watch
ers were needed every night, • and it was
thought doubtful if the one sick with the fever .
would, recover. A person was engaged to
watch one night, his duty being to wake the
nurse whenever it became necessary 'to take
the medicine. In 1 the course of the night both
watcher and nurse fell asleep. The man with
the mumps lay watching the clock, and saw
that it was time to give the fever patient his
potion. tie was unable to speak -loud, and
could scarcely move his body ; but, seizipg
pillow, he managed to strike the watcher in the
face with it. Thus suddenly awakened,: the
watcher sprang from his seat, falling to :the
floor, and awakening both the nurse and the
lever patieiit. The incident struck both the
men' as very ludicrous, and they laughed most ,
heartily at it for tea or fifteen minutes. When
the 'doctor came in• the morning 'he found the
patien4,vitstly improved—said he had never
knowo stidden a . turn, and they both got

THE BED -06.141 - SIIYERED AS A GAR-
There, is still one of Our garments to be con
sidered which generally is not regarded ail'such.
I - mean the bed—that piece of clothing in
which we spend Bitch a great part of our time.
It is- equally , : indespetisible to the, sick'4nd to
the healthy, and at all times it was considered
as a sign - of bitterest want if a man had no
place to )a),i his head._
The bed Is not only a place of rest; it is es
pecially-our sleeping-garment, has often to
make up for privations; - endured during the day
and the day's Woilc,,and 'to give us strength for
to morrow'. You 'know all, the different sub
stances r i and maCerfals used: for it. They are
the same as our garmentS are made from. Like
theM; the bed` must be airy and warm at the
smile time.' We warm _the< bed by our body
just as we warm our clothes,,and the bed warms
the air which is continually, flowing through it
from below:: upward.. 'the regulating strata
must b . 4 MOripp_werful in their'action than in
our day7cloilick, because durine rest and sleep
the iiitatriorphosis of our tissues and'resulting
heat 'become less, and tecause in a horizontal
position we lose more heat by an Ascending
current of air than in verticle position,'where
the warm ascending current Is in more nom
plete and leriger contact With our body.
The warmth of the bed - sustains the carcula-
Hon in our surface to it certain- degree for the
benefit of our internal ergans at a time when
•-• our productiOn ot heat is at the lowest ebb.
Hence,tbe importances . ,of, the bed for our heat , '
and,bloom - economy. * Several days without
rest hi bed L oot only makes us senSible of a de
fieleney in fig ~,,treernt.ing of our strength, but
very often , produce quite noticable perturba
tions in our:bodily economy, whiW,'-the bed
would have kOteeted us from.—Popukzr &cienc e

AMUSSMENTSIbF ROYALTY.
A correspondent, writing , of the Winter
pleasuies of.royalty in Canada, describes an
eiening's amusement the hothe'of the'Lord
and Lady Dufferin. He says : "I witnessed a.
cotillion so , . thorotighly • : priginal in its (letups
that a description of , it will doubtless be intei
esting. First a row of chairs was arranced on
the four sides of
_the balroorn and occupied by
all who conlff , find- places: 'Then followed a
waltz for perhaps a minute, after which the
young lady took her seat in the middle of the
ball-room and, holding a toilet glass, was ap
proached from behind by one gentleman after
another, until she. recognized her choice, when
she was up and away. Meanwhile, each of the
disappointed aspirants for her hand was obliged
to - mount a chair, until another grand waltz
succeeded ; then a - gentleman, being blindfold
ed, was called upon to select a partner from a
lady or .a partner of his , own sex, who were
stealthily placed in his front. It he chose the
man, the_ laugh - was, of course, against him,
while the lady was whirled around by one of
the genial (Wm-de camp. 'it third device con
sists in giving tin whistles and bells to gentle
man and requiring them to stand on their chairs
until they blew, up or rung up some sympa
thetic and considerate feminine partner. In
the fourth instance a:monster dice, as large as a
dry - goods box, was , successively thrown by
four players, one,, of whom was Lord Dufferin,
and the per€on making fhe biggest throw had_
the choice of the lady who -was put up as the
prize. in the fifth act the Colt LessDufferin
started oft on a brisk polka, selacted a gentle
man, and then alternately danced from one side
of the rim to the other, picking up partners
of both sexes, when the line, being inconven
iently long, broke up into waltzing couples.
Again, aprons and nightcaps were furnished
two of the cavaliers, who were requind tot tie
both before either could . claim the handsome
prize. Finally, four large riducuiously masked
individuals, robed in white, who had been led
out by Captain . " Ward, one of the masters of
Ceremony, made their appearance and render
ed the scene hilarious until the close. As you
may well Imagine, it was all fun, innocent and
enjoyable by everybody, and by 'none more
than the earl and his youthful countess.
Affrong the many other pleasures which Duf
ferin Hall affords. and 'which the people of
Ottawa feel
„proud of being invited to, are the
private theatricals, on which. occasions the
characters are personated by Lady Dufferin,
the immediate members • of ; her household and
two or three immediate friends who reside in
the city." "

WHY OLD. PEOPLE REMENthER THINGS:
• The extraordinary persistence of early lin
.
pressions, when the mind seems almosttei htlYe
ceased to .have registered new ones, is in:re
markable :accordance with the law of nutri
tion. It is a physiological fact that decline"
essentially consists in the diminution of o.le
formative activity of the organism. Now it is
When the brain is growing that a definite direc
tion can be most :strongly and persittently
given to its structure.. Thus the habitS of
thought come to be formed, and those nerve
tracks laid dowii which ‘ (as the physiologist toe-
Heves) constitute the mechanism of association
by the time the brain has reached its maturity ;
and the nutrition of the organ continues to
kap up the same mechanism in accordance
with the demands of its txtivity, _so long as it
is being called into use - Further, during the 1
entire period of vigorous manhood, the brain,
like the muscles, may be taking on some ad
ditional growth, either aia whole or in special
parts ; .new tissue being developed and kept up
by, the nutritive process, in accordance with
the mode's of action to which the organ is
trained. Acid in this manner a store at "im
pressions" or traces are accumulated, which
may be brought within the sphere of consciiMs
ness whenever the right suggesting strings are
touched. But as the nutritive activity dimin
ishes, the "waste", becomes more tietive i than
the renovation ; 11 . and it would seem that while
(to use a'commereial analogy) the "old:estab
lished houses" keep their ground, those later
firn:is, Whose basin is less secure, are thefirst to
Crumble away—the nutritive activity ; which'
yet suffices to. Maintain - the original structure
not being *able of keeping the subsequetit
additions to it in working order. This earlier
degeneration of - later formed structures IS' a
general fact perfectly= faniffiar to the physiolo
gist.--LarKki.q. _Mirror.
The wars of this century have been the most
costly and bloody since the palmy days of
home and Greece. For its ten great bloody
periods, viz., the Napoleonie,.Grealan, Crimean,
Italian, Danish; Austrian (1860), 13ruzilian
American, Abyssinian, and Franco-German
wars—leaving out , minor expeditions and skir
mishes—the figures foot up $38,967,600,00 ex -
Pend&l and 11'708,600 men destroyed from 1800
to 1871. Two-thirds of this aggregate outlay
of .men and money are to be charged an the
ledger of Napoleon L up to. his closing battle
fought at Watcirloo.

To ALL, PARTICULARLY INVALIDS, spring is a
trying season. indications of sickness should
at once be attended to; Fatal 'disease, may be
caused by allowing; he. bowels .to become con
stipated and: the system to remain in a disorder
ed 'condition, . until the disorder has time to
developed itself. An ounce of Prevention is
worth a.pound of eure,i is an' old and truthfhl
saying. Therefore, we ' advise -all .who s4ti";
troubled with•the complaints now very prev-:
alent—rheadache, indigestion, ' disordered liver,
want of appetite, nausea, or feverish skin, to
take, without delay, Schenck's MandrakeTille.
We know of no' remedy so harmless and de
cisive in its action. It .at once strikes at the
i
root of the disease nd produces .a healthy tone
to the system. Pe ple2 - never need suffer from
any disease arising rem a dis Ordered condition
of the liver if they would take this: excellent
medicine when they feel the first indications of
the' malady. Families leaving horn° for; the
summer months should take three or four bnxes
nt these pills with them. .They have an almost
instantaneous effect:' They . will relieve the
patient of headache in one or. two hours, and
will rapidly cleanse 'the• liver of surrounding

M. H.R. STEVENS—Dear Sir: When 1 was about
years of age a humor broke. out cn me,which my moth
er tried to cure by giving me herb teas and all other;
such remedies as she'knew of, but it continued to grow
worse. until finally she consulted a physician and he
said I had the salt. rheum. and doctored me for that
complaint. He relieved me some, but said I could not
be permanently cured as the disease originated in the.
blood. I remained .a great sufferer for several years I
until I heard of and consulted a physician. whosaid
had the scrofula humor ,and if 1 would allow him to
doctor me he would cure me. I did so. and he com
menced heal ng up my sores and succeeded in effect
ing an external cure; bat in a short time the disease ap
peared- again in a worse form than ever, as concerous
humor upon my lungs, throat and head. I suffered the
most terrible pain, and there seemed •to be no remedy,
and my friends thodght I must soon die,, when my at
tention was called, while reading a newspaper, to a
VEGETINE testial of Mrs. Waterhouse, No. 364 Athens
Street, South Boston, and 7, formerly residing in South.
Boston and being personally acquainted with her and
knowing her former feeble health,, I eland eked to try
the Vegetine. After I had taken ,a few bottles-it seem
_ed to force the sores out of my system.. I had running
sores in my ears which for a time were very 'painful
bat I contiued to take the Vegetine until I had taken
about 25 bottles, my health improving. all the time
from the commencement of the first bottle, 'and the
sores to heal. I commenced taking the Vegetina in
1872 and continued its constant use for six months.—
At the present-time my health is better than it ever has
since I,was a child. Tne Vegetine is what :belped me,
and I 'most cordially recommend it to all safferers,-es
peciaßy fay friends. 'I had been a sufferer-tar over 30
years, and until. I used the -Vegetine. I found no reme
dy; now.l use it as inY faMily medicine. and wish .nu

The range or disorders which yieid to the influence
of this medicine, and the -number.of defined diseases
which it never fails to cure,are greater than any other
single medicine has hitherto- been even' recommended
for by any other than the proprietors of some quack
nostrum. These diseases are s crof Oa and all eruptive
diseases and tumors, rheumatism, gout, Neuralgia, and
spinil complaints and • all inflammatory symtnoma . ;
Ulcers, all, syphilitic diseases, kidney and bladtUr
di
seases; dropsy. the whole train of- painful disorders
which so generally afflict. American . women, and which
carry annually thousands of them to premature graves • -
dyspepsia, that universal curse of American manhood,'
heartburn, piles,, consumption, nervousness, inability
to.sleep, and impure blood. • •
This is a formidable list of butnan,.allments for any,
single medicine • to successfully attack, and it is not
probable that any other article before the public has
the power to cure the quarter . ot them except Vegetine.
it lays the ax at. the root of the tree of diseases by . first
eliminating every impurity from the blood: promoting'
the secretions,, opening the pores—the great escape
valves of the system—invig,orating',the liver to its full
and natural action, cleansing the stomach and strength
ening digestion. This much accomplished, the speedy
and the permanent cure .of• not onl the, diseases we
have enumerated, but l ikewise the whble train of chron
ic and constitutional disorders, is certain to follow.—
This is precisely what Vegetine does, andit does it so
quickly, and so easily, that it is an accomplished fact
almoSt before the patient is aware of it himself.
