Power OF IMAG1NATIoN. -Alexandre Dumas
published some time ago in daily Paris pa
per. novel in which the heroine, prosperous
and happy is assailed by consumption. All the
gradual symptoms were most touchingly de-
scribed, and the greatest interest was felt forthe
heroine.
One day the Marquis de Dalomieu called Oh
him Dumas" said he, "haYe you composed
the end of the story now being published in
the-2H
"Of course"
"Does the heroine die at the end?"
"Of course, dies of consumption After such
symptoms as I have described, how could she
live p

eyes; she has all the various symptoms of
consumption you have described, and watches
mournfuly for every new number Of your novel,
reading her own fate in your herones. Now,
if you make your heroine live, my daughter,
whose imagination has been deeply impressed,
will live too. Come, life to save is tempta-
ton"
''Not to +be resisted"
Dumas changed his last chapters His her
oine recovered and was happy.
About five years afterwards Dumas met the
Marquis at party.
"Ah, Dumas ~ he exclaimed "let me intro
duce you to my daughter; she owes her life to
you. There she is"
"That fine handsome woman, who looks like
Jenne dArc?"

"And my novel four editions" said Dumas !

A man has just died in Paris of insatiate hun
ger. He could not eat enough. His earnings
being altogether insufficient to satisfy his enor-
nous appetite, though he ate scarcely anything
but bread, his fellow workmen used to contrib
ute toward his support; but wearied with thus
burdening his friends and worn out by suffer-
ings he last killed himself.
The annals of medicine record many instan.
ces Of this disease both in ancient and modern
times, but the most remarkable case Of lato
years was that of Anne Denise, who died in
Paris only few years since She used to eat
from twenty-four to thirty lbs. of bread day
When on her death bed and unable to take food,
she begged her sister to come and eat near her,
and her last words we're: "Since it pleases
God that l shall eat no more, let me at least
have the pleasure Of seeing YOU eat.N

"Of silver sir"
"Of silver"
"Of solid silver"
"Solid silver /" replied Napoleon quickly /;
"yes, I shall help them to fulfill their mission;

Having said so, the Emperor sent the twelve
apostles to a mint in Paris.

The following extract is from sermon by
Beecher, and hits on the popular bitters of the
day
Nothing can be more dangerous than for a
man to resort to these stimulants, of a masked
and disguised character, for every like ailment
that he has, of the nervous system or stomach
or liver, or heart or head. Men are dissipated
by over-taxation and labor, so that they are kept
feeling bad continually. We are all dissipsted
We do too much with the brain. There is not a
harmonious working of the system. While the
mind is excessively burdened, we do little with
the muscles, little with the homes and little with
the other departments of the physical constitu-
tion We are mentally dissipated We do not
laugh enough. We do not rest enough We
give everything to the one intense absorbing
pursuit of business, which sucks the juice out
Of a man, dries up his brain and fills him with
aches and pains from head to foot, and then we
run to these life giving preparations, to the
abominable imps of the devil bottled up.
