Transferring of Vital Power.

A not uncommon cause OF loss OF
powers is the young sleeping with the
aged. The fact, however examined,
has been long remarked; butt has been
most unaccountably overlooked in med
icine. | have, on several occasions,
met with the counterpart Of the follow
ing case Il was, a few years since,
consulted about pale, sickly, and thin
boy, Of about five or six years of age.

ment, but there was a slow and remark

what his mother very aptly termed n
gradual blight. After inquiring into
the history Of the case, it came out that
he had been a robust and plethoric
child up to his third year, when his
grandmother, very aged person, took
him to sleep with her; that he soon ,af-
terwards lost his good looks; and he
had continued to decline ever since,

directed him to sleep apart from his
aged grand-parent, and prescribed tom
les, change Of air, &c The recovery
was rapid. 1t is not with children only
that debility is induced by this mode
of abstracting vital power, Young
females, married to very old men, suffer
in similar manner, though not to the
same extent. These facts are often
well known to the aged themselves,
who consider the indulgence favorable
to longevity, and therefore, often illus
trates the selfshness which, in some
persons increases with their years.
Those in good health should not sleep
with sickly persons.

Getting Reconciled.

VI am getting reconclled TO 1t,
said one, alluding to the death Of an
only son.
81 don't exactly know what yon
mean by that EXPRESSION" said his
ueighbor.
"Well, mean that I don't take it to
heart as much as | did"
II am still in doubt as to your mean
ing. | do not know whether you mean
to say that you feel your loss less Sc
verely-sufler less in consequence Of it;
or whether you are cherishing more
cordial submission to your heavenly
Fathers will"
"Well, | feel it less, and we must all
submit to Gods will. We can't help
ourselves"
"True, but what God requires of us
is a cordial submission to His will,
founded on perfect confidence in His
wisdom and goodness If God is per-
fectly wise and good, then the best
thing that can happen to us is to have
his will done at all times, and in regard
to everything that concerns us"
"That is so; but it takes time for us
to get reconciled."
cit is great and blessed attainment
to be really submissive to Gods will.
To be reconciled to it, is not exactly the
same thing as to be cordially submss-
i've. Reconciliation implies previous
opposition There ought never to be
any opposition on our part to the will of
God"
"It seems to me that for one to be
reconciled to the loss of a child, is
about as much as can be expected Of him."
"rhat depends upon what you mean
by being reconciled."
at is to be feared that there is less
cordial submission to the will Of God
than is commonly supposed. TO be
reconciled, may mean forced submiss-
ion to what cannot be avoided. Sup
pose we were all the victims Of fatal
necessity: suppose the existence Of
inexorable fate in the place Of the provi-
dence of God. Suppose the same
events to occur which occur now
There would be a kind of submission to
the DEGREES of fate. When death en-
tered a family, the surviving inmates
would in time lose the sharp sense of
grief, and become reconciled to the in
evitable lot of man. But this would be
state of mind very unlike Christian
submission. Yet it is to be feared that
it often passes for Christian submission.
Time lessons every sorrow. That is,
as time rolls on, our attention is of
necessity more and more directed from
the causes Of our sorrow, and our sense
of pain is thereby lessened. This de-
crease of pain, this calmness wrought
by time, is not submission"
True submission is blessed feeling.
1t diffuses through the soul a joy sweet
er than that which prosperity can diff
fuse. Said an aged saint, who had lost
all her children, and who had but a
limited means of support, 81 have
nothing left but God, but that is
enough. | would not have Him alter
his holy will to please me. am happy
when his Will is done"
If we are not happy when Gods will
is done, we cannot be happy at all The
prayer, "Thy will be done," should be
offered with great fervency, and with
honest self-introspection,

Wise Proverbs.

The harder the wood the higher the
polish. One man cries, "Thcrc's a
WE'LL" another quietly puts pump into
it. Prayers and provender never him
dered any mans journey Experience
and wisdom are the two best fortune
tellers. The covetous man makes a
half-pcnny of iarthing; and a liberal
man makes sixpencc of it. Vain glo-
ry is a flower which never comes to
fruit. If folly were pain, we should
have great crying out in every house,
Your looking-glass will tell you what
your friends never will, The man that
speaks plain truth is cleverer fellow
than he is taken tor. The snail looks
around his house, and thinks it is the
whole world.

A Wonderful Tree.

! In the birch wood of Cullodcn, Scot
lind, there is a remarkable tree, we'll
worthy of note. About thirty years
ago, a young giant of the forest was
blown down, and fell across a deep gull
ly or ravine, which it completely span
ned, and the top branches took root on
the other side. From the parent stem
no less than fifteen trees grew up per-
pendicularly, all in q row; and there
they still flourish, in all their splendor,
while the parent stem evinces no token
of decay. Several of the trees are not
less than thirty feet high. The tree is a
birch fir.

Into all mischief and fun you are driving;

Two rosy lips gave the answer so true
Good to love you mamma-good to love YOU

address, IN which he reviewed the events OF the

liam d. Kelley, who made an eloquent address.
He said that great political victory had been
achieved-not victory for the white people OF
the North alone, but victory that embraced
those before him, as well as himself. The
colored people OF the North had played no mean
part in the contest. They had exercised the
eight of suffrage in i've of the Eastern States.
Wisconsin had given to the citizens of African
descent the same privilege, and other Western
States would soon follow in the same direc-
ton. He had been elected member OF
