A USEFUL CUsToM.-In Munich there
prevails singular custom. Every child
found begging in the streets is arrested and
carried to a charitable establishment. The
moment he enters the hospital, and before
he is cleaned and gets the new clothes in
tended for him, his portrait is painted in
his ragged dress, and precisely as he was
found begging. When his education is fin
ished in the hospital this portrait is given
to him, and he promises by an oath to keep
it all his life, in order that he may be re-
minded of the abject condition from which
he had been rescued, and of the obligations
he owes to the institution which saved him
from misery, and gave him the means by
which he was enabled to avoid it in future.
WHAT three words Gid Adam use when he in
troduced himself to Eve, which read the same
backward and forward ? MADAM I'm Adam"

Laughable Interpretation of Scripture.
"Some people" says correspondent of the n.
Y. Observer, F" are given to such literal reading
of the Scriptures, that they take everything just
as it stands, and construe every prophecy as they
would an article in the Constitution. 1t is said
that when one of this sort was pressing his views
hard upon the celebrated DR.. b. that able COM
mentator asked him how the prediction is to be
literally fulfilled, which says that "kings shalt be
nursing fathers to the church p"
But the following conversation which actually
occurred in the family of another correspondent
of the Observer, is very amusing specimen of
the same system =
"Susan," said the man of the house to his maid
servant, "why do your church people have such
noisy exhortations in your meetingsP seems to
me not very becoming in Christian assem-
bly,"
"Why sir, the Bible bids US to-
"The Bible |"
'Yes, sir"
"WhereP"
"Why, the prophet says, Cry aloud and spare
notj lift up thy voice like trumpet which
means that we should holer in meeting, if un-
derstand the Bible"
"H-e-m Yes, Susan, that passage has not
happened to occur to my mind in that light
Thank you for the idea. But to change the sub
ject, Sasan-I want you, the next time you go to
meeting, to take a dose of epecac."
"Me take dose of epecac
"Yes, that's what l say"
"Epecac! sir, I'm not sick"
perhaps not but you ought to take it."
"But why so, sir P"
Because the Bible says tha: you should,
Susan"
"The Bible says should take epecacP"
"Why, not exactly, Susan. But it says that you
ought to take an emetic of some kind l merely
mentioned epecac because it is the milde.t and
safest"
"What do you mean ?"
"Why, III tell you, Susan. The same prophet
whom you just quoted as enjoining upon Gods
children the duty of shouting in meeting, says,
also, Cast ye up! Cast ye up!
$50 he does, sir"
''And that means take an emetc,' does it
notP"
"Oh Sir, how can you talk so P"

you say that the command you just now quoted

LONGITUDINAL RIvERs.-A river that runs
east or west, crosses no parallels OF latitude con-
sequently, as it flows toward the sea, it does not
change its climate, and being in the same climate,
the crops that are cultivated at its mouth are
green also at its sources, and from one end to the
other of it there IS no variety of productions it
is all wheat and corn, or wine or OIL or some 9th
er staple. Assorted cargoes, therefore, cannot be
made up from the produce which such river
brings down to market. On the other hand,
river that runs north or south, crosses parallels of
latitude, changes its climate at every turn; and
as the traveller descends it, he sees new agricutu-
raj staples abounding. Such a river bears down
to the sea a variety of productions, some of which
some one or another of the different nations of
the earth is sure to want, and for which each one
will send to the market at its mouth, or of the
port whence they are distributed over the world.
The assortments of merchandise afforded by such
a river are the life OF commerce. They give it
energy, activity and scope. Such river is the
Mississippi, and the Mississippi is the only such
river in the world.

Eating too Much.

Ten persons die prematurely of too much food
where one dies of drink Thousands eat them
selves into fever, bowel disease, dyspepsia, throat
affections, and other malades.
Some years ago. the residents of a German city
were one morng wild with excitement Every
thing was poisoned. The doctors were flying in
every direction. 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 inflammation, or some
other malady appears. Look to the reservoir.
There you will find the source of the dis
ease
l am acquainted with the table habits of a
large number of persons. They have all eaten
800 much food. Nearly all, too much in qnantity,
but all have eaten food too highly concentrated.
saw dyspeptic friend eating pears at a fruit
stand. He said, with smile, 81 go few Bart
let's half-a-dozen times a day." Certain detetc
reformers seem to think if they eat coarse bre ad
and ripe fruits, peck is all right. Fine flour
bread, pies and cakes, are great evils.
A friend, who has decayed teeth, dyspepsia,
torpidity of liver, and disagreeable eruption
all produced by excessive eating of improper food,
declared, in response to my remonstrance, "But
aOants the quantity he is in the habit of eating
If he would digest well two pounds day, but
eat four pounds he wants the latter quantity. A
man may want 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 can eat just enough suffers little
from hunger.
Pardon word of my own experience During
many years practice of my profession, l had but

rule, kind reader, commend to you. Always

PHENoMENk OF THE BRAIN.-One of
the most conceivable things in the nature
of the brain is that the organ of sensation
should in itself be insensible To cut the
brain gives no pain, but in the brain alone
resides the power of feeling pain in any
other part of the body. If the nerve which
leads from it to the injured part be divided,
it becomes instantly unconscious of suffer-
ing Iti cafy by communication with the
brain that any sensation is produced, but
the organ itself is insensible. But there is
a circumstance more wonderful still. The
brain itself may be removed-may be cut
away down the corpus calaSSum, without
destroying life. The animal lives and per-
forms all its functions, which are necessary
to simple vitality, but no longer has a mind;
it cannot think or feel; it requires that the
food be pushed into the stomach; once there
it is digested and the animal will thrive
and grow fat. We must infer, therefore,
from these facts, that the part Of the brain,
the convulsions, is simply intended for ex-
ercise of the intellectual faculties

IMPORTANT TO HAVE A TRADE.-A
writer in the Manchester Mirror, who init
mates that he was born a blacksmith and
loves his occupation, relates a story of
faithful clerk who had long served with
Girard, of Philadelphia. and expected
handsome present at the expiration of his
time. He therefore went to the old man
and said, "My time is up; what world you
advise me to do :" 81 would advise yous
to learn the cooper's trade" said he. The
clerk felt chagrined, and turned about in
despair; but recollecting the eccentricity
of the old fellow, concluded to do as he
said. Thereupon he made bargain with
a cooper to learn him the trade in one year.
At the expiration of the time be presented
himself to the old man, saying, Il have
done as you desired-learned the cooper's
trade" "Well, said he, 'make me three
of the best barrels you can" He did so.
The old man, on receiving them, gave him
a check for three thousand dollars, saying,
$50 into trade with that, and if you fail
you will have trade to fall back upon"

THE WIFE OF A MORMON ELDER.

SSTTNHAT one-half of the world cannot i'm
agine how the other half live" is no
less true than trite and the lesson the adage
affords, our experience and observation daily
tends to verify, Then, too, when we consider
the ever-varying phases of human passion, and
the discordant elements from which all novel
and fanatical sects are moulded, it can scarce
ly seem surprising that faithful record of ac-
tual events should exceed, in sngularity the
widest dream of romance; or that crimes,
both strange and unnatural, should be perpe-
trated in far off country on the outskirts of
civilization, which people in another state f
society would never imagine possible. Know
ing rs l do know, the evils and horrors and
denominations of the Mormon system, the de-
graduation it imposes on females, and the con-
sequent vices which extend through all the
ramifcatons of the society, sense of duty to
the world has induced me to prepare the fol-
lowing narrative for the public eye. The ro-
mantle incidents connected with my expert
ence, many may think bordering on the mar
velous To them would say, that this mar
rative of my life only proves, what has so Of
