WHY COUSINS SHOULD NOT MARRY.-ln
The annual report Of the Superintendent OF
the Kentucky Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb, is the following argument against
the marriage Of cousins:
"From len 10 twenty per cent. of deaf
mutes are the children of cou sins. Ii is
greatly TO be regretted iha, law forbiddrng
the marriage of first cousins did not pass
the recent legislature. These marriags are
violations Of the law of nature, as is evil
denced by the aflicton visited in almost
every case upon their offspring in deaf
ness, blindness idiocy ought to be a
violation of human laws also. The com
monwealth has clear RICH, to protect IL
selfagainsi these ill-stared matches. whose
offspring il has to sustain, frequently fer
life. may be hoped that this important
subject will not escape the action of our
legislatures many years longer. Ills con
fidendy believed that by lofbidding mar
riage of this kind, and by proper attention
and care of infants laboring under the dis
esse stated, the number Of deaf mu'es IN
the community might be diminished by
one hall In generation.

"PEACE, BE STILL"

The wind is wild, the night is dark,
The waves ale raging furiously.
And dashing 'gainst slender bark,
Upon the sea Of Galilee
Strong men are there but dumb with fear,
The while distractions drawing near.
Within the troubled bark asleep,
Lies One who rules the winds and
waves
They wake Him, telling as they weep.
How wild the tempest round them raves,
He looks around, He hears the sound
OF driving winds and waves that bound.
lie rises with look Of love,
Surveys the scene, forebodlng i'll;
Rebukes the winds ; they dare not move
Unto the waves he speaks, "Peace, be
still ~
They know their Lord, and at his word
Are molonless as if e'er stirred.
Thus Christian, is the sea Of life,
When troubles your light shallOp fill,
Turn from your souls tumulluous strife,
TO Him, who said, "Peace, be still >
lie can control temptations roll
And speak peace 10 your troubled soul.
When griefs assail, when glooms oppress,
When doubts your wayerlng mind en-
shroud.
Seek Him who is all gentleness,
He will dispel the lhreat'ning cloud
His voice, at will, your soul can thrill,
BY simply speaking, peace, be STILL"
Then grieve no more, bid gloom adieu,
Dark doubts far from you put away,
And lei your bark glide swiftly through
The sea of Life, by night, by day
Eye well the mark, in light or dark,
Christ sleeps in every Christians bark.

Respectfully dedicated to three lady friends, ,ehon

Of mount Hope.p
1t was charming day in June,
And flow'rs were gently springing-
The wild birds all, in merry tune,
Their sweet love songs were singing
As Ger the fields took my way,
In listless silence viewing
The joyous world, serenely gay,
To see what folks were doing

gave the door gentle tap,
With heart quick palpitating:
To know what answer to my rap,
eager stood in waiting.
The welcome news as grateful come
AS sweetest music playing
She whom sought was still at home
Two maidens with her staying:
Beside the Empress of the Night
Two lovely stars bright shining,
That shed pure and chasten'd light
Life's atmosphere refining.
More quick than thought the DAY was gone
No dream had ! of leaving;
With winged hours the night sped on
Its fight my soul deceiving;
Aurora ushered in the day
The morn sweet incense breathing
could not tear myself away
Such joy my heart was wreathing;
High in the heav'ns bright Sol again
Was gloriously shining
The morn was far upon the wane,
And good folks thought of dining.
Twas then left this hallow d spot
With lingering steps delaying
Which meier by me shall be forgot;
For there my hearts still staying:
Yes, to the pleasures Of the place
Fond memry oft recurring,
Shall make its maidens pure and chaste
More witchingly endearing.

ers with thin coating ofthc gum, which
is entirely impcrvious to the air, and
thus prevents the decay Of tho fruit or
the whitening of the flowers. A friend
has roses thus preserved which have all
the beauty and fragrance of freshly
plucked ones, though they have been
separated from the parent stem since
last year. To ensure success in expert
mcnts Of this kind, it should be borne in
mind that the whole surface must be
covered for if the air only gains en-
trance at pin-hole, the labor will all
be lost. In preserving specimens Of
fruit particular care should be taken TO
cover the stem, end, and all, in the
gum. A good way is to wind thread
Of silk about the stems and then sink it
slowly in the solution, which should be
SO strong as not to leave particle Of the
gum undissolvod The gum is so per-
fectly transparent, that you can with
difficulty detect its presence, except by
the touch Hero we have another sim
pie method Of fixing the feeting beauty
Of nature, and surrounding ourselves ev-
err with those objects which most elevate
the mind, refine the taste, and purify
the heart.

DEATH FOR WANT OF SLEEP How
long can one live without sleep? The
question We have never. seen answered.
But an authentic communication has been
made to British society whose field of
operations is IN Asia, descriptive Of o
punishment which is peculiar to tho
original code of China. 1t appears, from
thisscommunication ,sthat Chinese mer-
chant had been convicted of numbering
his wife, .and was 'sontenced to die by
being totally deprived Of the privilege Of
going to sleep. This singular and pain
ful mode bf quitting an earthly existence
Mas cavsied into execution at Annoy, un-
v netts following circumstances: The
condcnIaed was placed .in prison, under
the care Of three Of the police guMfi, who
relieved each other every alternate hour,
and who prevented the prisoner from
falling asleep for single moment, night
or day. He thus lived for nineteen days
without enjoying any sleep. AT the COM
mcncement of the twentieth day his suf-
ferings were so cruel that he implored
the authorities to grant him the blessed
opportunity of being strangulated, gar
roted, guillotined, burned to death, shot,
drowned, quartered, blown up with gun
powder, or put to death in any conceiva-
bic way which their humanity or ferocity
could invent. This will give us some
idea of the horror of dying because you
cannot go to sleep.

Why CAN NoDoDY READ WE'LL ?-It
is very singular, that while everybody
can read, nobody can read we'll. Per-
haps the following curt paragraphs will
explain:
Not one gentleman in a hundred can
read so as to please the ear, and send the
words with gentle force to the heart and
understanding. An indistinct utterance.
whines, drones, nasal twangs, cultural
notes, hestations, and other vices Of elo-
cution, are almost universal.
Many lady can sing italian songs
with considerable execution, but cannot
read English passably Yet reading is
by far the more valuable accomplishment
of the two.
In most drawing rooms, if thing is
to be read, it is discovered nobody can
read; one has weak lungs, another gets
hoarse, another ehokes, another has an
abominable sing-song, evidently tradi-
ton in the way in which Watts hymns
were sung, when he was too young to
understand them
Another rumbles like broad wheeled
wagon another has way Of reading
which seems TO proclaim that what Is
read is or no sort or consequence, and
had better not be attended to.
Why all this is, no one can say, unless
it be that either the pulpit, or tho nurse
ry, Or the Sunday school, gives the style
in these DAYS.
