INFLUENCE OF AFFECTION There is q
good deal of canting about involuntary
affection in the world, and all that;
but young lady should never let such
foolish notions enter her heart. She
should allow the pride of conscious
strength of mind to keep her above
every foolish, vain. and nonsensical
preference toward this precious flop,
and that idle attendant on lady's will.
She should lay it up in her heart as an
immutable principle, no love can last
If not based upon right and calm
estimation ofgood qualities; or at least,
that if the object upon which it is
lavished be not one whose heart and
whose head are both right, misery will
surely be her portion. A sudden pre-
ference for a stranger is very doubt
full kind of preference, and the lady
who allows herself TO be betrayed into
such silly kind of affection, without
knowing word of the mans eharac-
ter or his position, is guilty of mn in
discretion which not only reflects un-
favorably upon her sense, but argues
badly for the nature and ground work
of that affection.

somewhat unfrequented district, and
desired to get to bed as soon as pos
sible. But the host was not going to
throw away the rare opportunity of
elicting some valuable information
from guest of rare ability and schol-
arship. ''Mr. Macaulay,' said he, 81

Ice as q Medicine.

Quite marvellous results have late-
~ been noted from the use Of ice np-
piled to the spinal nerves. It's FREE
quent application in some severe cas-
es of apoplexy has relieved the pa
tent. 1t is applied to the lumbar
plexus OF the nerves over the spine.
alternated with hot water to the feet.
A case of undoubtcd hydrophobia has
been cured by following that treat
ment The patient was bound to the
bed, face downward, and a thorough
wet cupping from the head down the
whole length of the spine followed
with ice applications for two or three
days uninterruptedly. Pulse and
breathing became quiet, pains gradu-
ally left him, and complete recov-
cry was the result. In the French
hospital the ice treatment in case Of
nervous debility, paralysis of the mo-
tor nerves, prolapsus, uteii convul-
sions from teething, and perpetual
commissions, has been successful with
out n drop of medicine. The great
secret of this mode of treatment con-
sists in using the ice long enough TO
get it's tonic effects only, which is
nice point, and requires great care
from the medical attendant, as short
applications of ice are powerfully
neurotonic, while its too lengthy APP
picahon debilitates the patient.
