SLEEPING UNDER THE CLOTHES. There is
reason to believe (says Miss Florence
Nightingale that not a few of the appar-
emily unaccountable cases of scrofula
among children proceed from the habit of
sleeping with the head under the bed
clothes, and so inhaling air already breath
ed, which is further contaminated by ex-
halations from the skin. Patients are
sometimes given to similar habit; and
it often happens that the bed-clothes are
SO disposed that the patient must necessar-
lily breathe air more or less contaminated
by exhalations from the skin. A good
nurse will be careful to attend to this. 1t
is an important part, SO to speak, of ven-
tilation. 1t may be worth while to remark,
that when there is any danger of bed
sores, blanket should never BE placed
under the patient. 1t retains damp, and
acts like a poultice. Never use anything
but light Whitney blankets as bed-cover-
ing for the sick. The heavy, impervious
cotton Counterpart is bad, for the very
reason that it keeps in the emanation from
the sick person while the blanket allows
them to pass through. Weak patients are
invariably distressed by great weight Of
bed-clothes, which often prevents their
getting any sound sleep whatever.

THE FAMILY ALTAR.

One day gentleman was riding on
Western prairie, and lost his way. Clouds
rose in the sky, and not seeing the sun ne
quite lost his reckoning. Night came on,
and as he knew not what way to guide his
horse. he let his horse take its own way.
It was a Western horse, and was therefore
likely to understand prairie life better than
his master, who was not Western man.
By and by light glimmered in the dis
lance, and it was not long before the faith
full animal stopped before a log cabin.
"Who's there Z" somebody shouted from
within.
ga benighted traveller answered the
gentleman; "can you give me nights
lodging?"
"You're welcome" said the man, appear
ing at the door.
The gentleman was thankful enough to
give up his saddle and bride to the master
of the log cabin. He found the master at
supper-man, wife, and children-and
place was soon made for the stranger.
Some time in the evening the man ask
ed, "Are you minister of the gospel,
sir ?"
"No," answered the gentleman; and see
ing the man look disappointed, he asked
why he wished to know.
40, sir" answered the man, 81 hoped
minister had come to help me build up q
family altar. l had one once, but Host it
coming over the Alleghenies. 1t is great
| loss"
"Perhaps 1 can help you to build one,
though am not a minister" said the gen.
tleman, who always had one himself; and
after little more talk the man handed
him an old family Bible. He read, and
they sang psalm, and all knelt The
gentleman prayed first, then the man
prayed, and the wife and children said
"Amen," for it seemed as if each wanted to
have little part in building up the family
| altar.
"Sir," said the man, when he rose,
"theres many an emigrant that loses his
family altar before he gets here, and it's a
great loss"
eyes, many family affairs are lost. Some
are lost in politics, some in travelling, some
in moving, some in the hurry Of the har
vest, some at stores and shops. 1t is an
unmistakable loss. Abraham never lost
his, yet never family travelled further or
moved oftener than his. But wherever he
pitched his tent he set up his family altar,
and called upon the Lord; and the Lord
blessed him wherever he went. Children
as well as parents have an interest in keep
ing the family altar. Don't let it be lost
If father forgets, let the children gently
and respectfully remind, Father, we have
not yet thanked God for his goodness, nor
prayed to him for forgiveness" No faith
er, l am sure, but will thank child for
thus helping him to remember his duties.
1t is good to sing and praise and pray
around the family altar "Blest be the tie
that binds family around its altar" They
are dearer to each other for being nearer
to God.-PraiYie Herald

BG- A witty young rascal, passing
through a temperance town in Alabama,
not long since, wanted some whisky, and
knowing it could only be obtained by a
physician, wrote himself an order, signing
it with his own name, to which learned
M. D. was attached. He presented it at
the drug store of gentleman, who, though
unrecognized by him, proved to be an old
acquaintance. Hallow, Frank" said he,
"when did you get to be doctor2' "Pm
not DOCTOR" Why, what's this NJ d.
to your name for, then ?" Frank saw he
was caught but, determining to make the
best of it, put on a very innocent look,
and meekly answered." Oh, that's for
Mighty Dry" Of course he got the
whisky.

"Your analysis of the slave laws is very able,

than to refute charge of exaggeration against

is as impregnable against such charge as Eu-

And fast and strong she drew her breath,
And up she raised her head;
Then peering thro' the deep woods maze,
With long, sharp, unearthly gaze,
Twill he not come ?" she said.
Just then, the parting boughs between,
A little maids light form was seen,
All breathless with her speed;
And following close man came on
A portly man to look upon
Who led painting steed.
Mother" the little maiden cried,
Or e'er she reached the woman's side,
And kissed her clay-cold cheek,
Il have not loitered in the town,
But long went wandering up and down,
The minister to seek.
''They told me here, they told me there
think they Knocked me everywhere
And when found his home,
And begged him on my Bonded knee
To bring his book and come with me,
Mother, he would not come.
Il told him how you dying lay,
And could not go in peace away
Without the minister
begged him for dear Christ his sake,
But OH my heart was fit to break
Mother, he would not stir
$50, though my tears were binding me,
ran back, fast as fast could be,
To come again to you;
And here, close by, the Squire l met,
Who asked, SO mild, what made me fret
And when l told him true,
twill go with you, child he said,
God sends me to this dying bed;
Mother, he's here, hard by"
So, while the little maiden spoke,
The man, his back against an oak,
Looked on with glistening eye.
But when the dying woman's face
Turned to him with wistful gaze,
He stepped to where she lay,
And kneeing down, bent over her,
Saying, II am a minister
My sister, let us pray"
And WELL without e'en book or stole,
Gods word was printed on his soul)
Into the dying ear
He breathed, as t were an angel strain,
The things that unto life pertain,
And deaths dark shadows clear.
H e spoke of sinners lost estate,
Of Christ renewed regenerate,
Of Gods most blest decree,
That not a single soul should die
That turns with the repentant cry,
''Be merciful to me !"
Then, as the spirit ebbed away,
He raised his hands and eyes to pray,
That peaceful it might pass
And then the orphans sobs alone
Were heard, as knelt they, every one,
Close around on the green grass.
Such was the sight their wondering eyes
Beheld in heart-struck, mute surprise,
Who reigned their coursers back
Just as they found the long astray,
Who, in the heat of chase, that day,
Had wandered from the track.
Then each man reigned his prancing steed,
And lighted down, as if agreed,
In silence by his side;
There, uncovered all, they stood
1t was wholesome sight, and good
For mortal pride.
For the noblest of the land
Was that deep, hush'd, bare-headed band,
And central in the ring,
By that dead pauper on the ground,
Her ragged orphans clingiug round,
Knelt their anointed king!
