simply absurd. IL is true that they can live for
long time without food or drink; but they do
feel pal1, and are indeed very sensitive to some
injuries. That of turning them upside down,
an ong Others is sufficient, for instance, to pre-
vent their eggs from Matching. Their suffering
may be inferred from the violent and convulsive
movements to which the perfoTation of their fms
gives 1ise. And yet to this proceeding dealers in
turtles generally resort in order to tie them more
closely and pack a larger number in q smaller
space. or course, when tied in this manner,
they suffer less by being turned upon their
backs, because the fins are thus relieved from
the pressure of their whole weight; but the
best evidence | can afford that they suffer is
that they die il it is much protracted; and yet
turtles are among the animals which resist
longest privations of all kinds. Is not the fact
that they may die merely from the attitude in
which they are forcibly kept the most complete
evidence of their suffering? For what else
would cause DEATH If not pain and the unna-
tural pressure of parts brought into unaccus-
toned positions
Having gone so far, let me call your atten-
ton to the dangers arising from ill-treatment OF
beef cattle before slaughtering them. While
in Brazil learned that the city of Para suf-
fered from the quality of the beef sold in the
public market, deteriOrated because the oxen
and cows killed in the city were brought IN from
a considerable distance, and we're often kept
many days without food. The matter grew SO
bad that q company was formed to bring, by
steam, beef killed upon the farms; and every
body felt the difference in the condition OF the
meat and ITS nutritive qualities.

BILIOUSNESS.

With greater amount of bile in the blood
than is natural, the result is that the eyes and
the skin begin to wear a, yellow appearance,
while various other symptoms manifest them.
selves, according to the temperament habits,
and peculiarities of the individual; one has sick
headache; another complains Of q want of ap-
petite sometimes loathing the very appearance
OF food; third has cold feet and hands; a
fourth has chilly sensations, involving the
whole body, or running up and down the back;
fifth is costive; women become hysterical,
and laugh, cry, or talk, while men are moody,
peevish, or morose. Bile is naturally of bright
yellow color, but as man becomes more bill
Gus it grows darker and is at length as black as
tar, causing state OF mind which the old
Romans called attrablity, attra meaning black;
a scowl is on the countenance, and the person
Is ill-natured and fretful, finding fault with
everybody and everything; hence, when man
is cross he is bilious, and ought TO be pited, and
at the same time be made 10 take an emetic.
The ill.natured are never well; they are
"bilous," the system is clogged, the machi-
merry does not work well, and both mind and
body are d;sordered. The safest and best
work in the open air for six or eight hours
every day, working or exercising to the extent
of keeping up gentle moisture on the skin.
This moisture conveys the bile away out of the
system. The same result will be accomplished,
but not so well, by good steam bath, or by
wrapping up in bed, drinking hot teas, thus
getting up perspiration;" but the atmo-
sphere of the room should be pure, and the diet
for, several days should consist of coarse bread
and fruits Medicines which "act on the liver''
will do the same thing but they should be
advised by the physician, when other means
have failed.
The office of the liver is to withdraw the bile
from the blood. 1t is the largest workshop of
the body, and is at the right side, about the
lower edge OF the ribs. When it does not do its
work it is said to be "torpid"-asleep-and
medicines are given to stimulate it, wake it up,
make it act, work faster than common, so as to
throw off the excess of bile. When it does not

the skin grows yellow, also the whites of the
eyes, and the man has the. yellow jaundice." "
When it sepaiat the bile from the blood, but
appetite is lost spirits become respondent, and
the person is languid, lazy, fretfu, and irritable.
The liver is in a sense like a sponge, and the
bile may be pressed out of it as water out of a
sponge, by pressing the ball of the hand over
the region of the liver downwards, from hip to
''pit of stomach" two or three minutes at a
time, several times day. This is good remedy
in dyspepsia, and also relieves the stomach OF
wind, giving immediate and grateful relief

THE TIDE OF PHILANTHROPY. - Far
through the opening vista of rent devices and
broken symbols, like the heaving pillows of
mighty sea, the tide of Christian philanthropy
is rolling on. Men of all sects are there. The
Catholic is there with his crucifx pressed to
his bosom. The Methodist comes on, singing
the sweet hymns of Wesley. The Baptist
brings his robe of immersion. The Presbyte-
rian stands upright, as his iron fathers did of
old, to pray in simple reverence and freedom
The Universalist chants his anthem OF res
toration and holiness. But they stand shout
der to shoulder. They all point upward earn
estly upward, to that great banner which
waves over all, whose device is the Crucified
Jesus,-whOse inscription, all over in letters
of blessed light, is his last command: "Lovc
one another;" is the spirit of his true and unde-
filed religion: "Visit the fatherless and widows,
in their affection; keep yourselves unspotted
from the world."- Rer. DR.. Chaplin.

GROSS NOTIONS OF HEAvEN-Heaven is
too often represented as place where all ac-
tivity will cease, and where the faithful, with
crowns upon their heads and harps in their
hands, will pass the ceaseless ages of eternity
with no other employment than chanting the
praises of their Redeemer. Borrowing from
the poetic portions of Scripture its peculiar.
imagery, men have constructed material
heaven, celestial sky whose gates are made
of precious stones, whose streets are paved
with gold; in this blest abode arc -4fcfds of
living green" "rivers of living water" "fiow-
ers that never fade" and happy souls who are
freed from all care and sorrow, and live in the
perpetual enjoyment of every conceivable de-
light. Such heaven is nothing more than
the earth, with all its grossness, elevated to
the skies; and that state of rest which is rep
resented as the condition of all who dwell
there. is suited only to sluggish temperaments
and indolent souls. 1t is wholly unlike the
spiritual kingdom that Christ proclaimed.-B

FUTURE REcoGNITION.-If disembodied
spirits remember the events of this life, ii, so
far from the knowledge here acquired being
lost, all that expands the intellect and purifes
the affections here, will not only be retained
but multiplied in eternity, the recognition OF
those with whom we are acquainted here
would seem to follow as a natural consequence.
Like Adam, when alone amid all the beauty
and bloom of Eden, would be the inhabitant
of heaven, if cut off from communication
with his fellows. The heir of Immortality,
we cannot believe him thus doomed to per-
petual solitude; his condition in this respect,
ut least, inferior to the present, in which there
may be an interchange OF thought and an
interchange of feeling.-Heroey Euans.

NOTHING of Gods making can man love
rightly, without being the surer of Gods low

Not the least grateful of my thanksgiving

while l have been listening to the birds of an
evening. Only let us love what God loves,
and then his love of ourselves will feel GER
tain, and the sight of his face we shall be sure
oil; and immortality and heaven, and the free
dom of the universe will be as easy for us to
believe in, as fathers giving good gifts to his
children.-MOuntfOrd.
