By RUTH n. CROMWELL.

We fling down our hearts, to hearts that are tillet
To the brim, with the joy of possessing;
We throw down our kisses, to lips that have
thrilled,
Till cloyed with the sweets of carressing.
We lavish our treasures, of beauty and mirth,
On souls that stated with pleasure;
And hoard up the smiles, that would gladden. tbs
earth,
To deal them by stint and by measure.
We keep the sweet song and the rarest 6On-nos
For the cup that already is flowing;
And swim with the tide, till not one of us know
What spirit within us is growing.
We take up our garments, while stepping aside
From the children Of sin and of sorrow;
Forgetting we gather dust in our pride
Which shall bear through Hades tomorrow
We drink of the cup whate er it may be,
That accords with our taste and our station;
And dream we are strong, as we wisely agree
In resisting our neighbours temptation.
Ye may tell of the wisdom that's hid in the root
OF the truths which the soul may not grapple;
IT'S clear that sweet Eve in eating the fruit,
Did swallow the seeds with the apple.

Rules for an Unhealthy Bed-Room.

Reader DO yon want an unhealthy
bedroom ? then just carry out strictly
the following rules, and you will be
sure to obtain what you desire.
l. Have no such thing as a ventila-
tor, and fasten all the doors and win
dows so as to prevent pure air from en-
tering your room, or foul air from es-
Gaping.
2. Have a suffocating machine made
by some good upholsterer, and attach
it to your bed--it is made of poles,
rings and curtains. By drawing the
curtains closely around the bed before
you sleep, you insure to yourself con-
densed body of foul air on your per-
son.
8. Smother the body as much as
possible in feathers. The feathers will
retain all the heat of the body, so that
you viii be able TO wake in the morning
with a delightful sense of languor.
which is always disagreeable to any
one that has it in his mind to be deli
cate.
4. Put on a thick night-cap and sleep
with your head ander the bed-clothes;
IT will prove effectual in keeping a
check upon the natural exhalation
about the head, and give you charm-
ing headache In the morning.
Take care not to sleep on a hair mat
trass, it is elastic and pleasant to be
sure, but it does not encase the body
so that you may run the risk of not
awakening langxid
6. Never wash when you 90 to bed
you are not going to see anybody, there
fore there is no use in washing. So
much for the bedroom.
s When you rise in the morning, wash
no more Of the skin than your neigh
bors will see during the day-the face
and hands. Five minutes spent i'm
sponging the body would tend to invig-
crate you and send you with beauti-
full glow to your days business or pleas
ure. Avoid such nonsense as might
make you healthy. Never wash your
head but rub as much lard or oil into
your hair as possible either will keep
out air as well as water, and promote
the accumulation of scurf and dan
druff. Lard in the bedroom is called
Bears grease. On no account wash
your feet, as such unnecessary act
might cause you to take cold, and the
use of it would be showing. prefer.
ence for your feet to some other part
of you body. This you should avoid
for there should be a distinction be-
tween the upper and lower members.

PREDICTIONS FOR 1S59.-Throuoh--
out the course-of the whole year Just
commenced, whenever the moon wanes
the nights will grow dark.
On several occasions during the pres
ent year, the sun will rise before certain
persons discover it, and set before they
have finished their work.
If bustles and hoops go out of FASH
ion, a church pew will hold more than
three ladies.
If dandies wear their boards there
will be considerable less work for bar
bers. He who wears mustaches will
have something to sneeze at. 9 el8
Whoever is in love will think his lady
a perfect angel till he finds out his mis-
take by getting married.
There viii be more books published
than will find purchasers. and more
bills made than will find payers. II
If the incumbent of a fat Office
should die, there will be dozen feet
ready to step into one pair of shoes.sio
Dinners and entertainment will be
given to those who have plenty to eat
at home. The poor will receive much
advice but poor wages.
He or she who marries this year will
run great risk, more especially if it be
done in hurry.
There will be great cry and little
wool, both at the shearing of pigs and
the session of Congress.
The world will go round as usual,
and come back to the place whence it
first set out; as will many a man who
sets out in business. tse's,
Finally-there exists but little doubt
that this will be the most wonderful
year, far surprising in interest any that
ever preceded it. ifsed
