Sympathy of the Nerves.

When the nerves, from long habit,
have become accustomed to transmit
their messages from distinct parts, and
are suddenly v cut off from them, they will
retain along their trunks the sympathetic
or sensational actions. Thus, man who
has a leg amputated will feel distinctly
along the course Of the trunk Of the nerve
sensation f.om toes which no longer exist.
The mind Is also influenced by this and
frequently this peculiar direct nervous
action can only be aIlayed by that which

increase but IL gratifed, he took things

TO do him good, though all must know
there could be no real benefit. Still, here

A Bad Practice And A Bad Habit

CoBBETT, who lived more than a wear
at Hampstead, Long Island used some.
times to tell laughable stories at the ex.
pense Of the Quakers, some Of whom
lived in his neighborhood there. The
author Of Recollection of Mr.. Jaw,
Bath clergyman gives the following a.
received from Cobbett's own lips:
l was acquainted with well disposed
young gentleman Of large fortune whose
only fault was swearing-such a habit
that he often declared he would give half
his fortune to get rid of it. The desire
came to the ears Of Quaker, who there.
upon had an interview with the youpp
gentleman, and said
can cure thee of that bad habit.
Whereupon the youth caught hold Of
the Quaker's hand and gave Il hearty
shake, saying
How can you perform this miracle T.
The reply was, y can tell thee. have
heard that thou art going to travel for
period of six weeks, thou art Just my size:
nobody will know thee thou shalt come
to my house, put on the cooked hat, coat
with out buttons, the knee breeches. and
the shoe buckles and thou wilt find that
the sIrangeness Of the dress will have
such an effect on thee when thou art 90.
ing to talk, that it will restrain thee from
swearlng-as thou perhaps knowest, my
good friend, that we Quakers Eeyer
swear
The young man cheerfully assented 10
the proposal, and accompanied the Qua
ker TO his house, where, after changing
his clothes he took his departure in the
carp OF a Quaker and went on his way
rejoicing. Tne period Of the young gen.
tleman's tour elapsed, the Quaker all
anxiety started to meet him. Having
met him, he said -

dress on thee 2

his coat, replied

Secret of Unhappy Homes

Why goes forth that man this Saturday
evening from the roof under which his
children lvel Why turns he from the
engaging little attempts to detain him,
and roughly moves them away, while he
loves them dearly 2 Why sits another
by his fire, sulen. discon tented, unwilling
to speak the kindly word, while his heart
is yearnng for converse and enjoyment
Why flies the cruel speech to her ior
whom the bosoms strongest affection is
nourshed ALd why, searching into
deep depths. why does man become so,
often a tyrant, SO often criminal, in his
home +! Truth has to be told; but OH
listen to it kindly, for it is hard 10 tell.-
1t Is because woman does not truly appre.
clate her mission in domestic life. Under
the present conditions of existence, she
has become weighed down by cares. As
a wife she is different to what she was as
mistress. She is ever employed in
drudgery for children and household
She negIects her dress, she forgets her
manners. Her husband sees the change,
does not perhaps find sufficient excuse
der. He flies to the tavern and billiard
table and she increases in sourness and
asperity as she increases in years. That
much of this is owing to the present cir
cumstances o: social life is true but that
much Of it is chargeable to a sad submis.
sion to those circumstances is also but
too true. It is more or less in the power
Of woman to make their domestic life
more attractive to their husbands, and
more holy in its discipline and ends than
they now do. A great regularity in time
"a great simplicity 10 dress-a more
determined adherence to that which is
right in ones own eyes, rather than tn At
which is we'll thought Of in the eyes oi
others--an orderly apportioning Of vari.
Gus periods for different occupations
would make evenings AT home pass away
very differently to what, in the great ma
jority Of cases they are now doing.

Compound Extract Of SarsapariIia,

Drinking Among Young Men.

The Philate phia Sun says truly that
indiscriminate drinking among our young
men eventually makes It's mak upon the
population of our cities. We see II al
ready betraying itself in the rising gener.
alton. 1t is impossible for any man to
drink even pure liquors six or seven
times day without suffering severely in
constitution. And when he transmits
this impaired constitution TO his son, who
in turn impairs it still further by the same
course, it requires hue foresight to see
that we are preparing a population for
our Giles that will not, in physical frame,
he much better than the wretched Aztecs.
This love Of drink and bar rooms is every
day increasing. Every day sees our
youths becoming more and more the VIC
TINS Of this habit, for we really think it
is more a habit than passion. 1t is no
love of joviality that tempts them, except
in a few cases. IT is not the hot exuber-
ance of youth. 1t is not the avanescenl
impulse Of the gay young fellow who Is
sowing his wild oats. 1t is as has been
said, cold, deliberate, confirmed habit.
No atmosphere of recklessness surrounds
the drinking groups, except on occasions;
and no peaIs Of merriment atone for the
act by proving that it is al least unusual.
grim and melancholy air Pervades each
jcoun!enance. The drinks are poured
out, the glasses are touched with loalh-
some air of action, and each man swal-
lows his portion with the same impasslve
countenance he wo 1t wear if he were
drinking glass Of plain water. All tlie
concomitanls that partially redeem erI ex'
cuse drinking, as far as il can be redeem
ed or excused, are greatly wanting in this
sad and formal cefemony,l = M
