Talks about Health.
EATING TOO MUCH.

Ten persons die prematurely of too
much food where one dies OF drink
Thousands eat themselves into lever,
howell complaint, dyspepsia, throat alice
tions, and other maladles.
Some years ago the residents OF a Ger
man city were one morning wild with ex-
element. Everybody was poisoned
The doctors were flying in every direct
ion. Water was the only thing they had
swallowed in common. The reservoir
was examined. In one corner paper of
deadly poison was found.
The stomach is the reservoir which
supplies the whole body. A fever, an in
fiammation, OF some other malady ap-
pears. Look to the reservoir. There you
will find the source of the disease.
am acquainted with the table habits OF
a large number of persons. They have
all eaten too much food. Nearly all, too
much in quantity, but all have eaten
food too highly concentrated. 1ester-
day, / saw dyspeptic friend eating pears
at a fruit stand. He said, with a smile,
II 90 a few Bartletts half dozen times
day." Certain dietetic retormers seem TO
think if they eat coarse bread and ripe
fruits, a peck is all right. Fine Hour
bread, pies, and cakes, are great evils.
A friend, who has decayed teeth, dys-
pepsia, torpidity of liver, and disagree
able eruption-all produced by excessive
eating OF improper food, declared In res
ponse to my remonstrance, But l never
eat more than l want" Every person
aoants the quantity he is in the habit OF
eating. If he could digest well two pounds
a day, but eats four pounds, he 'eaRts the
latter quantity. A man may rant glass
of spirits ON rising. He is in the habit of
drinking at that time.
The body is strengthened by what it
can digest and assimilate. Every ounce
more than this is mischievous. The large
eater is always hungry. The man who
eats lust enough suffers little from hun
ger.
Pardon a word OF my own experience.
During many years practice OF my pro-
fession, | had but little muscular exercise.

ment of my dinner was painful. Now |

Heart Power.

\ mans force III the world, other things
being equal, is just in the ratio OF the
force and strength of his heart. a full
hearted man is always powerful man
if he be erroneous, then he is powerful for
error; if the thing is in his heart, he IS
sure to make it notorious, even though II
may by a downright falsehOod. Let
man be ever so ignorant. still, if his heart
be full of love. to cause. lie becomes
powerful man for that object, because he
has heart power. heart force. A man
may be deficient in many of the adyanta-
ges of education. in many of those nicel-
ties which are so much looked upon IN
society but once give him a good strong
heart, that beats hard. and there IS 20
mistake about the power. Let him have
a heart that Is full up to the brim with
an object, and that man will do the object,
or else he will die glorinusly defeated, and
will glory in his defeat. Heart IS power.

ABnrr HAR.-God covered the skull
with hair. Some people shave it off.
Mischievous practice. 1t exposes the
brain. God covered a part of mans face
with hair; some people shave it otf-Mis-
chievous practice-it exposes the throat
and lungs: the eyes, likewise, say wise
physiologists. Men become bald. Why?
Because they wear close hats and caps :
Women are never bald, except by dis
ease they do not wear close hats and
caps. Men never lose 4 hair below where
the hat touches the head, not if they
have been bald for twenty years: the
close caps hold the heat and persperation;
thereby the hair glands become weak,
and the hair falls out. What will restore
it? Nothing, after the scalp becomes
shiny. But if, in process Of falling out
or recently lost, the following is the best:
Wash the head freely with cold water,
once or twice a day; wear thoroughly
ventilated hat. This is the best means to
arrest the loss, and restore what Is suscep-
tible of restoration. What will beautlfy a
Woman's hair? Whatever will lnYlgorate
the hair glands. Oils and most other ap-
plications debilitate the hair glands !;
cold water is best. At first, the head
looks like a witch, but after few weeks,
il makes the hair become rich and curly.
Only the part of the hair next to scalp
should be wet-it mnst be thoroughly
dried.-DiO Le'riS, ". ID.

Our Present Dangers.

Colonel Forney writes to the Philadel-
phia Press:
Il know that there are those in the free
States who will resort to every artifice to
turn the Presidents proclamation into a
means of injury to the common cause
God help our country in this her last trial.
Attacked by traitors IN the South, betrayed
by ingrates in the North, she now, more
than ever, needs the service and support
of her children. Will not her many suf-
ferings awake the fire of affection in the
hearts of those who have heretofore been
deaf to her appeals? A strange nation, in
the condition of the free people of this
country, would excite the sympathy OF
these sympathizers with treason. But
they are Indifferent to the cause OF the
mother country that bore them, ON whose
broad breast they have grown rich and
great. Out of every act OF the Admin
istration to protect and preserve the
Government, these wretched partlsans
fabricate new elements of strife and dis
sension. There is-there must be-a
limit to this atrocious treachery IN our
midst. The people should see 1t, or they
are lost. If the authors of the rebellion,
the advocates of Breckinridge in 1861,
and of his reasonable doctrines OF lSd2,
are now permitted to sow the seed OF new
reyolt-in fact, to lay the ground work OF
a peace that would breed unending war
six months more will find the loyal States
broken into dozen fragments, the de
pendents of a way to crush and anticipate
this great danger. The people must re
buke the shameless demagogues who,
under the cloak of loyalty, are tolling on
the side of rebellion; and who, III oppos-
ing Mr. Lincoln's Administration, expect
to see that of jefferson Davis taking ITS
place. The Presidents proclamation Will
give these secession sympathizers IN
Pennsylvania and elsewhere another
chance to show their hands. May it al
so teach the people that the toleratlon OF
such treason is certain forerunner OF the
overthrow of the Republic!

TRUE THEORY OF LovE.-Love pure and
simple, is the very deepest and highest,
sweetest. and most solemn thing in life
to be believed in devoutly until it comes;
and when it does come to be held to firm
ly, faithfully, with single-minded,
settled constancy. till death-a creed
quite impossible, many will say. in this
ordinary world, and most dangerous to be
put into the head of a poor servant. Yet
a woman is but a woman, be she maid
servant or queen; and if from queens to
maid-servants, girls were taught thus to
think of love, there might be few more
''broken" hearts. perhaps, but there
would certainly be fewer wicked hearts;
far fewer corrupted lives of men, and
degraded lives of women; far fewer unholy
marriages, and desolated dreary, home
less homes.-Good Words.
