MAUD.
Newton as a Lover.

1t Itappears from Sir David Brewsters Life of
Sir Isaac Newton, just published, that the great
philosopher, at the ripe age of sixty, made propo-
sails of marriage to widow. The lady was the
widow of Sir William Norris who died in 1902.
The following is NewtOns philosophical way of
popping the question -
MADAM, your ladyship's grief at the loss Of Sir
William shows that if he had returned safe home,
your ladyship would have been glad 10 have lived
still with husband and therefore, your aversion
at present from marrying again can proceed from
nothing else than the memory of him whom you
have lost. To be always thinking on the dead is
to live melancholy life among sepulchres, and how
much, grief is an enemy to your health is very
ifest by the sickness that il brought when you re-
ceived the first news Of your widOwhoOd. And
can your adyship resolve TO spend the rest Of your
days in grief and sickness? Can you resolve to
wear a widows habit perpetually--a habit which
is less acceptable to company, a habit which will
be always putting you in mind OF your lost hus-
band, and thereby promote your grief and indls-
position till you leave it off? The proper remedy
for all these mischefs is new husband and wheth-
er your ladyship should admit of proper remedy
for such maladies, is question which hope will
not need much time to consider OF. Whether
your ladyship should go constantly in the melancholy
dress of a widow, or flourish once more among the
ladies whether you should spend the rest of yOuT
days cheerfully or in sadness, or in health or in
sickness, are questions which need not much con
sideration to decide them. Besides that, your Ia
dyship will be better able to live according TO your
quality by the assistance of a husband than upon
your own estate alone; and, therefore, since you
ladyship likes the person proposed, l doubt moi
bat in little time to have notice of your adyship:
inclination to marry, at least, tba: you will give
him leave to discourse with you about it, l am
Madam, your ladyship'S most humble sad most ODE

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AND REMEDY.

Many persona of nervous emperament-hypoch-
ondriacs with uneasy stomachs from the use of too
much rich and highly seasoned food knick .kuacks,
or tea aud coiee-the thinkers inventors, authors,
and those who have domestic troubles pressing on
the brain; in fact all who are not Of more animal
construction and of redundant health are subject
more or less to wakefulness and difficulty of OBJ
tanning that repose necessary to reinvigorate the
system after the labor aud cares Of the day It be-
comes disease and sometimes as distressing as
the 'snakes in the boots Of the inebriate.
What il more tedious and enervating than the
difficulty Of procuring sleep, or of waking and wait

after hopelessly trusting it viii proclaim the ap-

passed in solitude and thick coming thoughts of re-
al or anticipated tronbIes and cares, are painful
in the extreme and disorder the whole vitality Of tie
animal machine.
Many advices have been suggested 10 bewilder
the mind and induce the forgetfulness Of Sleep
Counting up to hundreds multiplying two or more
numbers 10 the mind and obtaining ibe result
c ding over the names of acquaintances, OF the
counties in the State etc. The most effective course
is to jump out of bed and commerce walking in the
dark, exercising your Judgment in avoiding and in
finding obi cts about the room. taking 10 heed
what the matter is; its effect is to break the chain
Of thought-dispel vapOrs-equaIize the circula-
tion and disperse the electricity Of the body which
the bed being nOn-condlctor. can not dO.-The
sntagOnism of the warm bed aud cold air gives a
shock 10 the nervous system, acting like a cold
bath which,it is, only air instead of water. On get

cases out Of ten, the brOoding nightmare of wake

No one can take cold when every part is equal
" exposed: the most delicate constitution may run
naked a mile in the greatest rain or snow storm
and if they do not freeze no III effects will follow
II is partial exposure which deranges the system
and creates the colds, lung complaints and rheuma-
tisms Baptism by immersion is case in point
and the thousand accidents by food and storm;
while spoonful of water in the shoe, damp feet
or sitting by cracked window light, gives cold
that costs life. The only precautou is to keep NOV

person through almost any exposure.
This is a simple experiment, and the fees for ad

Poverty i the nurse Of manly energy and heav-
en- climbing thought, attended by love, faith and
hope. around whose steps the mountain breezes,
blow, and from whose cOuntenance all the virtues
gather strengh. Look around you upon The dstin-
guisbed men that in every department Of life guide
and cootrol the times, and inquire what was their
origin. and what were their early fortunes. Were
they as general rule, rocked and dandled in the

homes of decent competence, or struggling poverty.
Necessity sharpens their faculties, and priYation

the great art of renunciation aud enjoy the happi.

A Mistake.
vice gratis

4 paragraph has been going the rounds Of the
press stating that the last lineal male descendant
of Luther had been received back into the ROmsh
communion. 1t appears, however, that there now
resides in Beford, Penn, MIR. John j. Luther, a
lineal descendant of the great Reformer Of the
eighth generation, and his family consists Of him
sell, wife, three sons, and one daughter; he has
also Ave brothers and one sister residing in SAKE
Coburg, Germany, all with families. There IS also
one other family Of the descendants Of his great
foresather in SAKE Co5urg, and number Of fam
lilies in Bohemia, Germany family also in Har-
risburg, Penn. They are all, both in this country
and Germany, connected with the Lutheran branch
Of the Protestant church, and it is not known that
one OF them has ever become connected with the
Romish church.
The rupture between Spain and the Pope is
complete. The Pspal legate has asked his pass
ports. The release Of $500, 100000 Of monastic
property from mOrtmain IS an objectionable affront
to iHlalibility That Catholic Spain should follow
the example Of iberalizel Piedmont, is strange
portent.

SEoREr OF A MINISTER'S POwER-in a brief no.
tee Of the late Dr. PaysOn, Of Portland, Maine, the

he was reserved and even shy in his manners, aud
much preferred burying himself in books TO ming
ling in general society; and in his general inter
course with men, though always pleasant, be usual
ly appeared nervous, distracted abrupt And
yet il is admitted that few men have exe-ted 40

his power. 1t is answered thns:- "The cazses Of
Dr. P.'s success were the unaffected beneyolence Of

Most ministers, truly called Of Col, would be men
