HOW TO ACQUIRE HIGH HEALTH.

WALKER, in his 'soriginal," lays down
the following rules for attaining high
health. They are worth remembering !:
First, study to acquire composure
of mind and body. Avoid agitation or
hurry of one or the other, especially just
before and after meals, and whilst the pro-
cess Of digestion is going on. TO this
end govern your temper endeavor to
look at the bright side of things-keep
down as much as possible the unruly pas
discard envy, hatred, and malice,
and lay your head upon your pillow in
charity with all mankind. Let not your
wants outrun your means. Whatever
difficulties you have to encounter, be not
perplexed, Tut only think what is right
to do in the sight of Him who seeth
all things, and bear without repiniDg the
result. When your meals are solitary,
let your thoughts be cheerful when
they are social, which is better, avoid dis
putes, or serious argument, or unpleasant
topics. 'Unquiet meals says Shakespeare,
make i'll digestions, and the contrary IS
produced by easy conversation, a plea
SAINT project, welcome news, or a lively
|companion. advise wives not to enter
tain theirhusbands with domestic grlevan
ces about children or servants, not to ask
for money, nor produce unpaid bills, nor
PROFOUND unreasonable orprovoking ques-
tons; and advise husbands to keep the
cares and vexations of the world to
themselves, but to be communicative OF
whatever is comfortable and cheerful and
amusing"

ASTRONOMY

In the Report Of John Quincy Adams
on the Smithsonian bequest, occurs the
following eloquent passage describing the
beauty and sublimity of the science OF
Astronomy:
The express object of an Observable
nv is the increase of knowledge by neao
discovery. The physical relations be-
tween the armament of Heaven and the
Globe allotted by the Creator of all to be
the abode of man, are discoverable only
by the organ of the eye Many of these
relations are indispensable to the exist
ence of human life, and, perhaps of the
earth itself Who can conceive the idea
of a world without a sun, but must con-
meet it with the extinction Of light and
heat, of all animal life, OF all vegetation
and production, leaving the lifeless clod
Of matter TO return to its primative state
of chaos or to be consumed by elemental
fire !? The influence of the moon-of the
planets, our next door neighbors of the
solar system-of the fixed stars, scattered
over the blue expanse in multitudes ex
ceeding the power of human computa-
ton. and at distances of which magma
ton herself can form no distinct concep-
ton the influence of all these on the
globe which we inhabil, and upon the
condition of man, its dying and deathless
inhabitant, is great and mysterious, and III
the search for final causes, in u great de-
gree inscrutable to his finite and limited
faculties. The extent to which they are
discoverable is, and must remain I'M
known but, to the vigilance of a sleep
less eye, to the toll of a tireless hand, and
to the medltations of a thinking, ombin-
ing and Analysing mind, secrets are sue
cessively revealed, not only of the deep
est import TO the welfare of man III his
earthly career, but which seem to lift him
from the earth TO the threshold of his e.
tcrnal abode--to lead him blindfold up to
the conncil chamber Of Omnipotence; and
there stripping the bandage from his eyes,
bid him look undazzled at the Throne of
God"

INDIAN SuPERsTITIoNs.- Near +,
Levenworth, in Platte county, Missouri,
is the grave of distinguished Poltawata-

PARTING Farewell Summer! 1t is


a sad thing to bid adieu, for what length
lof time we know not--perhaps forever
to the kind smiling friend which has So
journed with us for months, and with
whose ways and aspect we have become
familiar II, perchance, fondness or a
passion on our part, may have grown up
during our long intimacy, it is now to be
speedily irradicated, or at least suspend
I'd for a season, for we see thy departure
indicated by the russell mantle thou art
adjusting on thy perfect form, and the au
burn Wreaths which deck thy shining
brow. Thou art laden with delicious
fruits to regale thee OH thy journey, and
has left with us an abundance of substan-
|tal gifts to remember thee in thine alb
|sence. We will remember thee, May
we all live to witness thy return! But
we would have thee linger yet little
while, until we may glance another time,
though il be the last, at thy fair Inca
ments and pleasant smile. Oh, it is sad
to part II may be forever We would
once more rushinto thy soft embrace, and
sigh upon thy parting bosom-sip again
the nectar of thy rosy lip-have thy
sweet breath throw aside the light locks
on our temples, as it was wont to do
strew bright flowers around our rural
|couch-and beguile us, yet once more,
with the chirp Of the katy-did, and the
pensive song Of the whipporwill, while
we recina at eve in the green bower, and
again look up at the calm blue sky, and
watch the bright moon sailing in it's sea
of ether and the million twinkling stars
that ever seem to gem the heavens with
a peculiar brilliance in honor of thy pre-
Isence. Thou canst not tarry! Already
thy sandal, made of the 90 ea-leaf" is
TRIPPING along the mountains brow and
thy clear voice, in reply to our many a
deus, utters the word FAREWELL! 1t is
borne downward on the breeze, and every
valley echoes the same sad "FARrwELLw
We pause among the clustering flowers,
and the singing wind that sways the
blossoms to an fro, cries in audible tones,
!" FAREWELL! We pluck the fuIl-blown
rose from its green stem, aud every deli
cate pink leaf that falls to the earth, whis-
lpers FAREWELL !" 1t is true the loved
and cherished guest of the season is leav-
ing us. The parting of Summer is
subject for great reflection 1t proves
that our greatest enjoyments here are
evanescent. That the gifts of the Crea-
tor are glorious, and bestowed with a
liberal hand but that we are doomed TO
mourn when the sunshine of his coun-
tenance' is turned away from lis. And
that however much we may rejoice in a
f1eetng season on earth, when me merit
an abiding place in heaven, our pleasure
will be infinitely greater, for there the
Summer will be eternal. BALI Visitor.

MIS- G E L l. A N Y.
CON Su MPTION.

The New York American, and the
Philadelphia Inquirer, have lately given
some valuable details 70 the public, upon
the subject OF Consumption that terrible
disease which walketh in darkness
and daily withers the young and beanti-
full in our midst. The former journal,
first gives statistics If the disease in vari-
Gus parts of Europe, compiled from pa
per of the celebrated DR.. Andral read be-
fore the French Academy of Science, in
1897. They are as follows Sat. Foe.
Post.
OF 1000 deaths at Stockholm, So by consumption.
Do. do do at Petersburg, nearly same number.
Do do do at Vienna, 1l5.
Do do do at Munich, nearly same number.
Do do do at Berlin, loo.
Do do do at London, 236--Dr. Crichton
Do. do do at Paris, nearly same number.
DR.. Crichton, in his excellent work on
consumption, remarks, that it is much
more prevalent in Great Britain than in
Russia; and within the temperate lati-
tudes of Europe, viz ]: between 40 and
t50', it occurs more frequently than in
shigher attitudes. 1t is more prevalent in
Germany than in Stockholm, and ST. Pc
tershurg and in London and Paris, near
lily a fourth of the population die of this
disease.
There are particular places within the
/ temperate ATTITUDES Of Europe, more sub
! ject to lit than others; owing, probably,
10 the cold winds from the Alps and Ap-
pennies.

The following lines are inexpressibly ten
der. They are addressed by a young wife
to Responding husband:
Welded LOVE.


Come, rouse thee, dearest-'tis not well
To let the spirit brood
Thus darkly DER the cares that swell
Life's current to flood;
AS brooks and torrents, rivers, all,
Increase the gulf in which they fall,
Such thoughts, by gathering up the rills ),
OF lesser grief spread real ills;
And with their gloomy shades conceal
Come, rouse thee now!-I know thy mind,
And would its strength awaken;
Proud, gifted, noble, ardent, kind
Strange thou should be thus shaken!
But rouse sfresh each energy,
And be what heaven intended thee;
Throw from thy thought this weary weight
And prove thy spirit firmly great.
would not see thee bend below
The angry storms Of earthly wo.
Full we'll know thy generous soul
Which warns thee into life.
Each spring which can its powers control,
Familiar to thy vile;
For deem'st thou she could stoop to bind
Her fate unto common mind?
The eagle. like ambition nursed
From childhood in her heart had first
Consumed with its promethean flame
The shrine that sunk her so to shame.
Then, rouse thee, dearest! from the dream
That letters now thy powers;
Shake off this gloom-Hope sheds beam
To gild each cloud which lowers;
And though at present seems so lar,
The wished for goal, the guiding star,
With peaceful ray would light thee on,
Until its bond be won;
That quenchless ray, thou'lt ever prove,
A fond, undyIng, Welded Love!

EARTH'S CHANGES.


BY LYDIA H. sIaouaNEY.
AS waves the grass upon the field to-day,
Which soon the wasting scythe shall sweep away,
As smiles the fowret in the morning dew,
Which ewes chill blast upon the winds may strew,
Thus, in briel glory boast the sons OF clay,
Thus bloom while, then wither and decay
Dust tends TO dust,---with ashes, ashes blend,
The senseless turf cOnceals the buried friend:
few may sigh, upon The graves dark brink,
A few salt tears, the broken soil may drink.
A few sad hearts in lonely sorrow bleed,
And pay that tribute which they soon must need.
saw the infant in its robe Of white,
Its doating mothers ever dear delight,
1t clapp'd its hands when tones uf mirth went by,
And natures gadness glis,en'l in lite eye;
Again came! An empty crib was there,
A little coffin, and funeral prayer.
saw the rudy boy, of vigor bold,
Who feared not summers heat, nor winters cold,
With dexterous heel he skinned the frozen pool,
His laugh rang loudest, mid his mates at school,
Again sought him, but his name was found,
On the low stone that marks yon churchyard mound.
Oh bnastad joys of Earth! how swift We fly,
Rent from the hand, or hidden from the eye:
SO, through the web the weaver's shuttle giides,
So, speeds the vessel o FER the billowy tides,
So cleaves the bird. the liquid fields of light,
And leaves no furrow Of its trackless flight.
But We frail beings shrinking from the storm.
We love these skies, that gathering clouds deform,
Though wounded oft, as Oft renew our toll,
To rear fabric on this sand swept soil,
And still we strive, forgetful Of the grave,
To fix our anchor on the tossing wave
Yet He, who marks us in our vain career
OFT shows how frail is what we hold in ost DEAR
Spreads 'er some face BELOVED the beautiful gloom,
Or hides parent in the lonely tomb,
Arrests the thoughtless, bids the wording feel,
Wounds to admonsh, and afflicts to heal.
Look to that world where every pain shall cease,
Grief turn to joy, and labor end in peace,
Oh! seek that world, by penitence and prayer,
Sow the seed here, and reap the fruitage there,
Where shadowy joys no longer cheat the SOUL
But one unclouded year, changeIess ghtshal roll

STRIKING THOUGHTS.

The beauty OF the rainbow vanishes in
the storm; the meteor's flash is but mo
ment; the glIttering gems of heaven will
one day 60 out; the sun himself will be
extmguished I; bat the star Of hope shines
beautifully forever.
The water that flows from a spring,
does not CONCEAL in the winter. And those
sentiments of friendship which flow from
the heart cannot be frozen by adversely.
A year of pleasure passes like fleet
| ing breeze; but moment of misfortune
seems an age of pain!
A noble heart, like the sun, showett
| its greatest couu,enance in its lowest es
tale.
IT'S one of Gods blessings that w,
cannot foreknow the hour of our death

ty of living, would trouble US more thar
doth this uncertainty.
How much i'll might be avoided, if mer
never repeated aught that they had heard
without first considering their immedial,
right to do so, and the ultimate consequen
ces which so doing might produce
Death has nothing terrible in 1t, bu
what our life hath made so.
Ii this earth were at once the souls era
die and her tomb, why should the cradl
have been hung amidst the stars, and tina

REVEALS.

AIJaau.-Within the last few months,
the churches of this city have enjoyed
very precious season of refreshing from
the presence of God.
In the First Presbyterian church Rev.
DR.. Camptell's) an unusual degree Of Sc
robustness was manifest Immediately fol-
lowing the communion service several
months since. The gracious indication of
the presence ofthe Spirit, was observed and
improved by the pastor, until soon a very
general aud anxious state OF religious IN
quiry prevailed throughout the congrega-
ton. AS part of the fruits Of this reviv-
al seUentg were received into the church
at It's communion the last Sabbath In
March, -sirty.fUe on profession and fire
by certificate.
liz the Second Church (Rev. Dr..
Sprague's) work Of similar interest has
prevailed. 1t has been characterized by
a remarkable stiffness and solemnity. So
manifestly has il been the work OF God,
that the mouth of opposition has been en-
tireIv closed The Lords supper has not
been celebrated in this church since The
revival.
In the Third Church (Rev E. A. Hun
tington's) the state Of things is increasing
ly Interesting. Thirteen were added 10
its communion on the frs: Sabbath IN
March-eleren on profession, OF whom
screen were men. Many more are expect,
I'd TO unite hereafter.
la the Fourth Church REV. Z. ID. Al

the church since the first Of February last
tceLre of whom were BY certificate. and
seceato-nine on profession of their faith
Sirtu were received last Sabbath, Apr
5lh. OF these thirty-eight aoere heads o

Much interesting, and valuable Inform

New South Wales. who is at present on a

most trying difficulties, attended with no
small pecuniary sacrifices, he has been en-

We hope bis visit will be the means oil
awakening much interest among our
churches on behalf of those important
