a Touching Incident.

We heard Yesterday Of ono Of the most
touching and sorrowful incidents that, in
the whole course Of our life, We have been
called upon to record.
An aged mother-a woman of seventy
years-left her home in the Emerald Isle
some ten weeks ago to seek the abode Of
her children, who are now residents Of
Louisville.
Alter a tedious passage, and the trouble
incident TO a long journey she reached this
city from New Orleans last Monday night
on board the Alex. Scott, and soon she was
surrounded by her children.
Her son was the FIRST to see her, and he
hastened 10 inform bis sister Of their moth
er's arrival. They met-(the mother and
the daughter) in one long embrace. which
only ended as the infIm mother sank with
excitement to the floor. She had swooned
away in the rapturous enjoy ment Of behold
ing once moro daughter SO long lost to
her. She pronounced blessing upon her
children, and then tainted away. When
ever restored 10 consciousness, the sight of
her children, and the pleasing recollection
of their presence, would overcome her with
emotions, and again and again she would
faint in their arms. ss.,..s
Physicians were called to her aid. but
could afford her mo relief. Fer two
days she continued in this condition until
worn out with fatigue and excitement, ex-
hausted nature gave way. and the mother
now sleeps vel" in the green earth Of her
new made home. How strange how sor>
rowful aud how touching. are the incidents
OF life.-L Louisville Democrat.

Philosophy Of Eating.

Use but two or three kinds Of food, be-
sides bread and butter, al single meal, and
never aal anything between meals. You
should eat at regular hours, and but three
times day, with two intervals Of not less
than FIVE hours each, nor more than six.
Cold water relards digestion, and so does
any liquid, if much is taken during or soon
aiter meal; half glass ai meal is
enough. Fromsan hour and half after a
meal until half on hour before the next one,
you muy drink as much water as you de-
sise; ii is best however, 10 drink bull swal.
low or Two at time, with an interval of
half minute or more; otherwise you may
take more thnn nature requires before you
know ii, jus, as in eating fast. If too much
fluid is taken during meals it diiutes the
gastic juice, thus weakening the powers OF
digestion, and retaining the food longer in
the stomach thnn is natural; il also causes
acid stomach, heartburn, fullness, and bad
blood, producing, according to circum-
stances, q dryness or rawness, or scalding
sensation in the throat as do ind,gestions
from other causes, whether from quality
or quantity Of food.
All errors as to diet arise from quantity
or quality, and propose one safe rule to
each, applicable to all persons, and under
all circumstances.
As to quality, tine general rule is TO eat
thai which you like best, and which you
fihd by close observation and experience,
is followed by no uncomfortable feeling
about the head, hands, feet or stomnch.
As to quantity, take as much at one meal
as will allow you to become decidedly hun
CRY By the next meal; this can only be de.
termined by consecutive observations; but
remember, never swallow an atom ot food
unless you are hungry; never force q
particle Of food on yourself. The brute
creation cannot be induced to eat or drink
il slightly i'll or excited, guided only by
their poor blind instinct, and we who are
so much higher than they be, the sreason'
that is within US ought 10 feel ashamed to
nc. less wisely; and yet nine-tenths Of all
our ailments, acute and chronic, enter here;
and nine ,enths Of them might be cured
If taken in reasonable time, and il properly
persevered in.
