It was a little studio quite at the top of

the post of honor in the middle of the room,
a large piece of canvass glowed with the

Seymour stood before it, palette in hand,

"Here mother," said the young man,
with aft enthusiastic sparkle in his eye,

Mrs. Randall uttered an exclamation of

TXIZIMS, MOO Pill AJUff
DRESS AS A CAUSE OF DISEASE,
•
In this age when dress occupies so much
1 of the attention of society, the influence of
costume on the bodily condition becomes
an important matter of inquiry.
Improper modes of dress, whether ex
cessive or inadequate, are fertile somces
of disease, and also aggravate an abnormal
| state of ihe system by whatever cause pro
duced. If our desire "to keep the body
warm, we overload it with layers of thick,
closely woven fabiic, and thus promote an
uudu'* heat at the surface, the effect is to
suppress the action of the excretory glands
and prevent a fiee perspiration. The vi
tiated matter which is thus retained is re
absorbed by the. skin and carried back in
to tlie system, rendering the blood impure
and deranging the delicate mechanism of
the glandular structure. Air an 1 light are
absolutely necessary for the healthy activi
ty of the vesicles of the skin, and those ar
ticles of clothing which prevent the admis
sion of those two great vital * agents are
P O
entiiely unfit for use
As a free circulation of the blood to all
parts ot the human body is requisite to the
enjoyment of pi rfe.ct health, so no part ol
the bodv should be dressed in such a man
ner as ;n the least to obstruct or retard its
How. Tight boms, shoes or gloves are
therefore detrimental. Gold extremities,
painful humors, swellings and caltossilies
ace generally the resu.ts of such ligatures.
Insufficient clothing i< much worse than
too much. The effi-ct of exposure to cold
is the immediate contraction of the skin,
which suspends the operation of the secre
tory and excretory organs, and the matter
winch shou.d he discharged from the sys
tem is thrown back into the throat, longs
or bowels, occasioning those forms of
disease which are commonly called ' Cold,'
"headache,' "catarrh," "diarrhoea," Ac.
/ A change of dress from thick to thin is
not beneficial unless accompanied by a
corresponding change in climate or tem
perature, A fashionable lady after wear
ing a thick high-necked dress all dav,
w iill sout 'ttines array herself in some light,
low in eked attire for an* evening paitv.
.Buch an imprudent change has frequently
been followed by a sudden death. Head
cov. rings at the present day are evidently
worn by ladies foi display, and not for
comfort; ami we are not surprised when
we hear this or that one complain ot
•Such distress m the head," or "neuralgia.'
A tp a fiord real pioti ctuin to the
• ead, should l>e large chough to cover the
gr-ater part ot it, ami at the same time be j
coinfbrta >!y warm, but not so heavy as: to
fatigue the .vcaier after half am hours use.
ouian's lore, like the rose blossoming
in the arid desert, spreads its rays over the
barren plain of the htnqan heart, and while)
all around it is black and desolate, it rises
more strengthened from the absence of ev
ery other charm. In no situation docs the
love of woman appear more beautiful than
tbat of wife ; parents, brethren and friends
have claims upon the affections ; but tl.e
love of a wife is of a distinct and different
nature. A daughter may yield her life 10
the preservation of a parent, and a sister
may deVote her-elf to a suffering brother ;
but the feeling which induces her to this
conduct are not such as those which lead
a wife to follow the husband of her choice j
thro, gh every pain aud peril that can be
fall him ; to watch over him in d inger, t"
cheer him in adversity, and ever remain
unalterable at his side in the depths of ig
nominy and shame. It is an heroic de
votion which a woman displays in hei
adlieraucc to the fortunes of a hapless hus
band. When we behold her in her domes
tic scenes, an intellectual, joy brightening
the family circle with her endearment j,
and loved for the extreme joy which that
presence and those endearments are calcu
ted to impart, we can scarcely credit that
the fragile being, who seems to hold her
existence by a thread, is capable of sup
porting the extreme, of human suffering ;
nay, when the heart of man sinks beueatn
the weight of agony, tliut she shou'd main
tain her pristine powers ofuelight, and, by

A Dangerous Cor ntkrfeit. —Anew

background at tho extreme end, and most
extreme figure in the group is missing.—
In tiie counterfeit also, the extended arm

JOSH BILLINGS ON OWLS. —Josh Bil
lings says of owls :
Burds is God's choristPrs.
Tew the !i>n he gave majesty ; tew the
elephant, strength tew the fox, cunning ;
and tew t' e tiger, deceit. But tew the
binds, his pets, he gave,butv and song.
And none so blest as the owl
The owl is a game bunl ; he can whip
anvthing that wears feathers —after dark.
He is a wise burd, and hoots at most
things.
He is a solemn butd, a cross between a
justice of the peace and a country super
visor.
He is a si iff burd, and sits up as st.ff as
an exclamation point
He is a luxurious burd, and fcedfi on
spring chickens.
lie is a long-lived burd, and never
win known to take death natura'ly.
lie is a hardy burd, and groze tuff bj
bileing.
He is an honest burd, and alwuz slios an
open countenance.
He is a prompt burd, and satisfize at
onst his outstanding hill.
He is a comfortable burd, and alwuz
sleeps in feathers
He is an attentive burd, and dilrin' the
dav ean alwuz he. found in.
He is a festive burd, and don't come
home till morning.
Thus the owl is a mistaken emblem of
solituoe an<l sadness, it we dig into his na
ture closely, is emphatically oue of the boys
and belongs to the club.
It is a notable fact that Senator Landon
and Keiiresentative Cameron and Kenne

though the two la'ter were under special

But as these men belong to the party of
baud and corruption, it is appropriate for
them to violate the wishes of their consti
iuents and vote for the most noted corrup
tionist on the list. — Montrose Democrat.
Josh Billings says there is nothing more
