balance between his power to do and his

the nervous and the Emphatic tempera-
ments, therefore, where excess of work is
demanded, it will always be seen that, at
the close of the days labor, whether if
has been Of muscle or thought, the man of
nervous temperament, who is tired, finds
1t difficult to fall asleep, sleeps perturbed-
ly, wakes up excited, and is more apt than
others to resort to stimulants to place him
self in a condition of pleaSurable activity :;
while the man Of lymphatic temperament
when tired, falls asleep, sleeps soundly
and nninterruptedly, and wakes up in the
morning new man. The facts are against
the theory that nervous temperaments re-
cuperate quickly from the fatigues to
which their possessors are subjected
Three-fourths OF our drunkards are from
the ranks Of these men of nervous tenn
peraments. Almost all opum-eaters
in our country-and their name is legion

ments. Almost all the men in the country
who become the victims of narcotic drug
medicine, are OF the nervous, or or ner-
vous-sanguine temperaments.
DR. Cornell, of Philadelphia, in the Ed
ucator, gives the following opinion corrob-
orative of the above, as an explanation Of
the frequency Of insanity. He says -
The most frequent and immediate
cause Of insanity, and one Of the most I'M
portant to guard against Is the want Of
sleep Indeed, 50 rarely do We -ee a re-
cent case Of insanity that is not preceded
by want Of sleep. thai it i regarded al
most q sure precursor OF mental derangc-
ment. Notwithstanding strong hereditary
predi-p pstion, if they sleep well they will
not become insane. No advice is 50 good,
therefore, to those v Iho have recovered
from an attack. or to II lo,c who are in del
icate health, a that Of securing by all
means, sound. regular. and refreshing

Iron N THE HCMEAE SYsTEM.-Ihere
Is in every healthy bel rson a quantity Of
iron in a protoxyd form. which circulating
in the blood in small red globules, gives
to the cpuntenance its fresh and vigorous
appearance, and affordf nutriment to the
vital organs. When the blood becomes
destitute of the necessary amount OF IRON.
the countenance Is pale. and the digestive
organs. the liver, or lungs become diseas-
ed, and the system Is subject 10 general
debility. and a variety ot diseases which
all the medicines III the world cannot
cure, until the blood is re-organized by a
new supply Of iron.
To take common medicines to cure de
biIitv. or dvspepsia. ordiseases Of the liv-
or. lungs. or other organs. occasioned by
the loss of iron. without restoring it TO the
system, is like trying tP repair building
when the foundation-is gone. 1t has long
been the study of the medical profession
10 devise means OF thus reorganlZing the
blood and the discovery was lately made
in Peru, by a combination OF protoXyd OF
iron in preparation now popularity
known as Peruvian Syrup, and found at
the Drug stores. According to the cele-
brated DR.. Hayes, Mass. State Chemist,
this is the only efficient and proper means
of supplying this important defect, which
is known to the materia mcdica.
When John p. Jewctt, of Boston. for
merly dn enterprising publisher, became
acquainted with this important discovery,
and the value and success Of the prepara-
ton, he at once gave it his entire atten-
ton. and is doing the public good SER

The VALUE OF ONE CENT.-A French
mathematician has been calculating what
would now be the sum produced by one
cent put out al per cent. per annum,
compound interest, at the commencement
of the Christian era. He estimates what
would be the value of a ball of solid gold,
equal in size to the earth. He then
max es the astounding statement that had
one such ball of gold fallen each minute
during the past 1860 years, the value of
all these globes together would not amount
to as much as the sum produced by one
cent at compound interest during the
same period. Z

A TOOL HOUSE WANTED.


Where's that log chain :" asken Joe
Tubbs of his boy Bill, as they were get
ting the team ready to draw a load of
wood.
Il ay, Bill, have you swallowed that
chain : Never can find anything when
you want it. Why didn't you put it in
its place p
7 Bill looked astonished, as if he had not
heard the same thing about some mispla-
ced TOOL every week Of his life, and said
very meckly, Il didn't know it had any
place in particular-I thought | left it on
the cart, where you generally leave it,
The fact is Tubbs was a sloven, and
never could lay his hand on anything he
wanted, and he added to this sin, cross
grained, trettul temper, that worried eve
~ body with whom he came in contact.
The plOw~ were as often left in the fur

spades. crowbar~, acythes, corn-knives.
-ickies, rakes, forks, axes, and other tools,
were scattered about the premises, genrr-
ally lett where they were last used.
So ,here was Il hunt OF an hour, that
morning, in all possible places, for the log
chain, but it didn't turn up. The oxen
chewing their cuds, philosophically wait
ing. As II they were used to such delays
1t was entertaining to an outsider to see
Tubbs shining ii from the barn to the
I'll a. ----
l', 49, -. '- -.iD TO the cart, and from the
cart 10 The wood pile, scolding as he went,
and blaming everybody but himself for
for the loss OF the chain.
Look here, Bill, run over to neighbor
Jewett's, and ask him to lend Us a chain
must have something to bind the load.
So Bill scuds TO the neighbor's, half mile
off, to borrow. When he had made known
his errand, Mr.. Jewett replied: 1t is ra-
tier doubtful whether you can find such
an article IN these parts" with a drawl
upon the rather and wicked wink Of
his eye, that squinted towards the slovenly
habits OF Joe Tubbs.
However, he went out to the barn,
where he showed a door that ran back on
little wheels, and introduced Bill TO a
good sized room where there was nothing
else but tools. There were the crow-bars,
three Of them OF different sizes, in one
corner, the plows all cleaned, the hoes and
shoveIs hung up on the sides, the rakes
overhead, the harness on wooden pegs,
and the chains hanging on cleats, and ev
erything in It's place, 50 that the owner
could lay his hand on it in the night, if it
were necessary.
The younger Tubbs got the chain, and
new idea Of order at the same time. 1t
broke in upon his mind with great clear
ness, that it was not necessary to spend
hours every week in looking up lost tools,
or in borrowing from a neighbor. Tubbs
senior, may never build a tool house, and
save his temper, but the boy will learn
wisdom in his present school OF atfiiction,
and when he takes the farm, will have a
place for everything, and everything in
its place.
